12:1 a Bef 4:22 b Yak 4:11Kale mukomye buli ngeri yonna ey’ettima, n’obulimba bwonna, n’obukuusa, n’obuggya, n’okwogera ekibi kwonna. 22:2 a 1Ko 3:2 b Bef 4:15, 16Ng’abaana abaakazaalibwa bwe beegomba amata, nammwe mwegombenga amata ag’omwoyo, muganywenga mukule era mulokolebwe, 32:3 Beb 6:5kubanga mwalega ku bulungi bwa Mukama.
42:4 nny 7Mujje gy’ali kubanga ye ly’ejjinja eddamu, abantu lye baasuula nga balowooza nti terigasa, kyokka eryalondebwa Katonda era ery’omugaso omunene ennyo. 52:5 a 1Ko 3:9 b 1Ti 3:15 c Is 61:6 d Baf 4:18; Beb 13:15Mujje gy’ali nga muli ng’amayinja amalamu, muzimbibwemu ennyumba ey’omwoyo. Mulyoke mube bakabona be abaweereza ssaddaaka ey’omwoyo, esiimibwa Katonda mu Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe. 62:6 a Bef 2:20 b Is 28:16Kubanga ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti,
“Laba, nteeka mu Sayuuni,
ejjinja ery’oku nsonda ery’omuwendo omungi eddonde,
oyo eyeesiga Kristo,
taliswazibwa.”
72:7 a 2Ko 2:16 b Zab 118:22Ejjinja eryo lya muwendo mungi nnyo eri mmwe abakkiriza. Naye eri abatakkiriza,
“Lye jjinja abazimbi lye baagaana,

82:8 a Is 8:14; 1Ko 1:23 b Bar 9:22Era
“Lye jjinja abantu lye beekoonako,

Beesittala kubanga bajeemera ekigambo kya Katonda, nga bwe ky’ateekebwateekebwa.
92:9 a Ma 10:15 b Is 62:12 c Bik 26:18Naye mwe muli kika kironde, bakabona bw’obwakabaka, eggwanga ettukuvu, abantu ba Katonda bennyini. Mwalondebwa mulyoke mutende ebirungi bya Katonda eyabaggya mu kizikiza n’abayingiza mu butangaavu bwe obutenkanika. 102:10 Kos 1:9, 10Edda temwali ggwanga, naye kaakano muli ggwanga lya Katonda, era mwali temusaasirwa, naye kaakano Katonda abasaasidde.

Kyenva mbeegayirira mwewale okwegomba kw’omubiri, kubanga kulwanagana n’omwoyo. 122:12 a Baf 2:15; 1Pe 3:16 b Mat 5:16; 9:8Mukuumenga empisa zammwe ennungi, abo be mubeera nabo abatakkiriza, newaakubadde baboogerako nti ebikolwa byammwe bibi, basobole okulaba ebirungi bye mukola, balyoke bagulumize Katonda ku lunaku lw’alirabikirako.

Mutyenga Katonda. Mussengamu ekitiibwa abafuzi.

182:18 a Bef 6:5 b Yak 3:17Abaddu, mugonderenga bakama bammwe, nga mubassaamu ekitiibwa ekijjuvu, si abo bokka abalungi n’abakwatampola naye n’abo abakambwe. 192:19 1Pe 3:14, 17Kubanga kya mukisa omuntu bw’abonyaabonyezebwa awatali nsonga, n’agumiikiriza olw’okutuukiriza ekyo Katonda ky’ayagala. 202:20 1Pe 3:17Kale kitiibwa ki kye mufuna bwe mugumiikiriza mu kubonaabona olw’okukola ekibi? Naye Katonda abasiima bwe mugumiikiriza nga mubonyaabonyezebwa olw’okukola obulungi. 212:21 a Bik 14:22 b Mat 16:24Ekyo kye mwayitirwa kubanga ne Kristo yabonyaabonyezebwa ku lwammwe, n’abalekera ekyokulabirako kye musaana okugoberera.
222:22 Is 53:9“Kristo teyakola kibi
wadde okwogera ebyobukuusa.”
23Bwe yavumibwa, ye teyavuma. Era abaamubonyaabonya teyabeewerera, wabula yeewaayo eri Katonda alamula awatali kusaliriza. 242:24 a Beb 9:28 b Bar 6:2Yesu Kristo yennyini yeetikka ebibi byaffe mu mubiri gwe bwe yatufiirira ku musaalaba, naffe tulyoke tufe eri ekibi, tube abalamu eri obutuukirivu. Olw’ebiwundu bye, muwonyezebbwa. 25Kubanga mwali muwabye ng’endiga, naye kaakano mukomezebbwaawo eri Omusumba era alabirira obulamu bwammwe.
