Okulonda kwa Katonda

9 ^(A)Njogera amazima mu Kristo, sirimba, omwoyo gwange nga gunkakasa mu Mwoyo Mutukuvu, ² nga ndimunakuwavu nnyo era nga nnumwa mu mutima. ^3 (B)Nnali njagala nze mwene nkolimirwe Katonda era njawukanyizibwe ku Kristo olwa baganda bange, bwe tuli ab’omu mubiri, ^4 (C)be Bayisirayiri, abantu ba Katonda abalonde. Katonda yabalaga ekitiibwa kye, n’akola nabo endagaano, n’abawa n’amateeka ge. Yeekaalu yagibawa, n’abawa n’ebyasuubizibwa. ^5 (D)Balina bajjajjaabwe abamanyiddwa, Kristo be yasibukamu mu mubiri. Nsaba Katonda afuga byonna atenderezebwenga emirembe gyonna, Amiina.

^6 (E)Naye si kuba nti Katonda yalemwa okutuukiriza kye yasuubiza. Si bonna ab’omu Isirayiri nti bantu ba Katonda ddala. ^7 (F)Ate so si nti ly’ezzadde lya Ibulayimu bonna balyoke babeere abaana, naye ekisuubizo kyali ku Isaaka bwe kyagambibwa nti, “Mu Isaaka mwe ndituukiririza ebyo byonna bye nakusuubiza.” ^8 (G)Kino kitegeeza nti abaana ab’omubiri si be baana ba Katonda, wabula abo ab’okusuubiza be babalibwa okuba ezzadde lya Ibulayimu. ^9 (H)Kubanga ekigambo ky’okusuubiza kye kino nti, “Mu kiseera nga kino Saala alizaala omwana owoobulenzi.”

^10 (I)Ate si ekyo kyokka, naye ne Isaaka jjajjaffe yalina Lebbeeka eyali olubuto. ^11 (J)Naye ng’abalongo tebannazaalibwa, era nga tebannabaako kye bakola kyonna ekirungi oba ekibi, okusiima kwa Katonda nga bwe kuli, ^12 (K)si lwa bikolwa wabula ku bw’oyo eyabayita, kyategeezebwa Lebbeeka nti, “Omukulu y’aliba omuweereza w’omuto.” ^13 (L)Era nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Yakobo namwagala, naye Esawu namukyawa.”

^14 (M)Kale tunaagamba ki? Ddala ddala Katonda talina bwenkanya? Kikafuuwe. ^15 (N)Agamba Musa nti,

^16 (O)Noolwekyo tekiva ku ebyo omuntu by’ayagala newaakubadde by’akola, wabula ku kusaasira kwa Katonda. ^17 (P)Ebyawandiikibwa kyebyava byogera ku Falaawo nti, “Kyennava nkuyimusa, ndyoke njolese amaanyi gange mu ggwe, erinnya lyange liryoke litegeezebwe mu nsi zonna.” ^18 (Q)Noolwekyo Katonda asaasira oyo gw’ayagala okusaasira, ate n’akakanyaza omutima gw’oyo gw’ayagala okukakanyaza.

^19 (R)Omu akyayinza okumbuuza nti, Lwaki Katonda atunenya, obanga y’atuleetera okukola nga bw’asiima? ^20 (S)Naye ggwe omuntu obuntu, ggwe ani addamu ng’owakanya Katonda? Ekibumbe kiyinza okubuuza eyakibumba nti, “Lwaki wammumba bw’oti?” ^21 (T)Oba omubumbi talina buyinza ku bbumba, okubumbamu ekibya eky’omugaso, oba okubumbamu ekitali kya mugaso?

^22 (U)Katonda yayagala okulaga obusungu bwe, n’amaanyi ge eri abo bonna abaali basaanira okuzikirizibwa, kyokka n’abalaga obugumiikiriza. ^23 (V)Ekyo yakikola alyoke amanyise obugagga bw’ekitiibwa kye, eri abo bonna be yeerondera okugabanira awamu ekitiibwa kye. ^24 (W)Naffe yatuyita, si Bayudaaya bokka naye n’Abaamawanga. ^25 (X)Ne mu Koseya agamba nti,

^26 (Y)Mu kifo omwo mwe baayitirwa nti,

^27 (Z)Isaaya ayogera eri Isirayiri mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti,

^29 (AB)Era nga Isaaya bwe yayogera edda nti,

Obutakkiriza bw’Abayudaaya

^30 (AC)Kale tunaagamba ki? Tugambe nti Abaamawanga abataagobereranga butuukirivu, baafuna obutuukirivu, bwe butuukirivu obuva mu kukkiriza, ^31 (AD)naye Isirayiri mu kugobereranga amateeka ag’obutuukirivu, teyafuna butuukirivu obwo? ^32 (AE)Lwaki? Ekyo baalema okukituukako kubanga tebaagoberera butuukirivu mu kukkiriza wabula mu bikolwa. Beesittala ku jjinja eryo eryesittalwako, ^33 (AF)nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti,
