Ekyokulabirako ekiva mu Bufumbo
17:1 Bar 1:13Temumanyi abooluganda, kubanga njogera eri abamanyi amateeka, ng’amateeka gafuga oyo yekka akyali omulamu? 27:2 1Ko 7:39Ka mbawe ekyokulabirako: mu mateeka omukazi omufumbo, asigala nga wa bba, bba bw’aba ng’akyali mulamu. Naye bba bw’afa, omukazi oyo ng’asumuluddwa mu tteeka eribagatta. 3Noolwekyo omukazi oyo bwe yeegatta n’omusajja omulala, bba ng’akyali mulamu, omukazi oyo anaayitibwanga mwenzi. Naye bba bw’afanga, olwo omukazi omufumbo anaabanga asumuluddwa mu tteeka, era taabenga mwenzi bw’anaafumbirwanga omusajja omulala.
47:4 a Bar 8:2; Bag 2:19 b Bak 1:22Nammwe baganda bange mwafa eri amateeka, muli ba mubiri gwa Kristo. Mwegatta ku Kristo eyazuukizibwa okuva mu bafu, tulyoke tubale ebibala ebisanyusa Katonda. 57:5 a nny 7-11 b Bar 6:13Kubanga bwe twali tukyafugibwa omubiri, okwegomba kw’ebibi kwakoleranga mu bitundu byaffe eby’omubiri olw’amateeka, era enkomerero kwali kufa. 67:6 Bar 2:29; 2Ko 3:6Naye kaakano tetukyafugibwa mateeka. Tuli bafu eri ebyo ebyali bitusibye, era tebitulinaako buyinza. Noolwekyo tuyinza okuweereza Katonda mu ngeri empya eya Mwoyo Mutukuvu, so si mu nkola enkadde ey’amateeka.
Okulwanagana n’Ekibi
77:7 a Bar 3:20; 4:15 b Kuv 20:17; Ma 5:21Kale tunaayogera ki? Amateeka kye kibi? Kikafuuwe. Singa tewaali mateeka, sanditegedde kibi. N’okwegomba kw’omubiri sandikutegeeredde ddala singa amateeka tegaagamba nti, “Teweegombanga.” 87:8 a nny 11 b Bar 4:15; 1Ko 15:56Ekibi kyeyambisa etteeka lino, ne kindeetera okwegomba okwa buli ngeri. Noolwekyo awatali mateeka, ekibi kiba kifu. 9Edda nali mulamu awatali mateeka, naye etteeka bwe lyajja, ekibi ne kiramuka, n’okufa ne nfa. 107:10 Lv 18:5; Bar 10:5Era ne nkizuula ng’etteeka eryali liteekwa okumpa obulamu, lye lyandetera okufa. 117:11 Lub 3:13Ekibi kyeyambisa ekiragiro ekyo ne kinnimba, era ne kinzita. 127:12 1Ti 1:8Noolwekyo amateeka matukuvu, era n’ekiragiro kitukuvu, kiruŋŋamya era kirungi.
13Kale ekirungi gye ndi, ate kye kyafuuka okufa? Nedda. Ekibi kye kyakozesa ekiragiro ekirungi kiryoke kinzite. Noolwekyo tulaba ekibi bwe kiri, ekibi ddala.
147:14 a 1Ko 3:1 b 1Bk 21:20, 25Tumanyi ng’amateeka mwoyo, naye nze omuntu obuntu, natundibwa ng’omuddu nfugibwe ekibi. 157:15 nny 19; Bag 5:17Kubanga kye nkola sikimanyi. Kye njagala si kye nkola, naye kye nkyawa kye nkola. 167:16 nny 12Newaakubadde nga nkola kye mmanyi nga kikyamu, nzikiriza ng’amateeka malungi. 177:17 nny 20Noolwekyo si nze nkola ebintu ebyo ebibi, wabula ekibi ekiri mu nze. 187:18 nny 25Mmanyi nga mu nze, temuli kalungi n’akamu. Ne bwe njagala okukola ekirungi, tewali kirungi kye nkola. 197:19 nny 15Ekirungi kye njagala okukola si kye nkola, naye ekibi kye saagala kye nkola. 207:20 nny 17Naye obanga kye saagala kye nkola, si nze mba nkikola, wabula ekibi ekibeera mu nze.
217:21 nny 23, 25Noolwekyo nzudde mu mateeka nga bwe njagala okukola ebirungi, ekibi kimbeera kumpi. 227:22 a Bef 3:16 b Zab 1:2Mu nze mu muntu ow’omunda njagala nnyo okugondera amateeka ga Katonda. 237:23 Bag 5:17; Yak 4:1Naye mu mubiri gwange gwonna, ndaba amateeka ag’enjawulo nga gawakana n’etteeka lya Katonda amagezi gange ge limanyi. Ekyo kinfuula omusibe w’amateeka ag’ekibi, ekikolera mu mubiri gwange. 247:24 Bar 6:6; 8:2Nga ndi muntu munaku! Ani alindokola mu mubiri guno ogugenda okufa? 25Kyokka Katonda yeebazibwe mu Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe.
Nze kennyini mu birowoozo byange, ndi muddu w’amateeka ga Katonda era gwe mpeereza, newaakubadde ng’okwegomba kwange okw’omubiri, mpeereza etteeka ly’ekibi.
