Sulemaani Asaba Amagezi
13:1 a 1Bk 7:8 b 1Bk 9:24 c 2Sa 5:7 d 1Bk 7:1; 9:15, 19Awo Sulemaani n’akola endagaano ne Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri era n’awasa muwala we. N’amuleeta mu kibuga kya Dawudi okutuusa lwe yamala okuzimba ennyumba ye n’ennyumba ya Mukama, era ne bbugwe okwetooloola Yerusaalemi. 23:2 Lv 17:3-5; Ma 12:2, 4-5; 1Bk 22:43Kyokka ennyumba ya Mukama yali tenazimbibwa, abantu nga baweerayo ssaddaaka mu bifo eby’enjawulo. 33:3 a Ma 6:5; Zab 31:23; 1Ko 8:3 b 1Bk 2:3; 9:4; 11:4, 6, 38Sulemaani n’ayagala Mukama, ng’atambulira mu mateeka ga Dawudi kitaawe, newaakubadde nga yaweerangayo ssaddaaka era ng’ayotereza n’obubaane ku bifo ebigulumivu.
43:4 1By 16:39Awo kabaka n’agenda e Gibyoni okuweerayo ssaddaaka, kubanga ekyo kye kyali ekifo ekikulu mu byonna, era Sulemaani n’aweerayo ku kyoto ekyo ssaddaaka ezookebwa lukumi. 53:5 a 1Bk 9:2 b Kbl 12:6; Mat 1:20Mukama n’alabikira Sulemaani ekiro mu kirooto e Gibyoni, Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Saba ky’oyagala kyonna kye mba nkuwa.”
63:6 a 1Bk 2:4; 9:4 b 1Bk 1:48Sulemaani n’addamu nti, “Olaze ekisa kingi eri omuddu wo, Dawudi kitange, kubanga yali mwesigwa gy’oli, era mutuukirivu ate nga mwesimbu gy’oli. Era oyongedde okulaga ekisa kino ekingi gy’ali n’omuwa omwana okutuula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka leero. 73:7 Kbl 27:17; 1By 29:1Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, ofudde omuddu wo okuba kabaka mu kifo kya Dawudi kitange. Naye ndi mwana muto era simanyi ngeri ya kuddukanyaamu mirimu gyange. 83:8 a Ma 7:6 b Lub 15:5Omuddu wo ali wakati mu bantu bo be walonda, eggwanga ekkulu, eritabalika. 93:9 a 2Sa 14:17; Yak 1:5 b Nge 2:3-9; Beb 5:14 c Zab 72:1-2Kale omuddu wo muwe amagezi okufuganga abantu bo, njawulenga ekirungi n’ekibi: kubanga ani ayinza okufuga eggwanga lyo lino ekkulu?”
10Mukama n’asanyuka kubanga Sulemaani yasaba ekyo. 113:11 Yak 4:3Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Kubanga osabye kino, so teweesabidde kuwangaala wadde bugagga, oba okufa kw’abalabe bo, naye weesabidde amagezi okwawulanga emisango, 123:12 a 1Yk 5:14-15 b 1Bk 4:29, 30, 31; 5:12; 10:23; Mub 1:16n’akola ky’osabye. Nzija kukuwa omutima omugezi era omutegeevu, so tewalibeerawo eyali akwenkanye oba alikwenkana. 133:13 a Mat 6:33; Bef 3:20 b 1Bk 4:21-24; Nge 3:1-2, 16 c 1Bk 10:23Era ndikuwa, ne by’otosabye: obugagga n’ekitiibwa waleme kubeerawo kabaka akwenkana mu kiseera kyo. 143:14 a nny 6; Nge 3:1-2, 16 b Zab 61:6; 91:16Era bw’onootambuliranga mu makubo gange, n’okukwatanga amateeka gange n’ebiragiro byange, nga kitaawo Dawudi bwe yakola, ndyongera ku nnaku zo.” 153:15 a Lub 41:7 b 1Bk 8:65 c Mak 6:21 d Es 1:3, 9; Dan 5:1Awo Sulemaani n’azuukuka n’amanya nga kibadde kirooto.
N’akomawo e Yerusaalemi, n’ayimirira mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama n’awaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, era n’agabula abaweereza be ekijjulo.
Sulemaani Asala Omusango Omuzibu
16Awo abakazi bamalaaya babiri ne bajja eri kabaka, ne bayimirira mu maaso ge. 17Omu ku bo n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, omukazi ono nange tubeera mu nnyumba emu, era nazaala omwana nga naye waali. 18Bwe waayitawo ennaku ssatu, naye n’azaala omwana we. Twali ffekka, so tewaali muntu n’omu eyali naffe mu nnyumba.
19“Awo mu kiro omukazi ono, ne yeebakira omwana we n’amutta. 20N’agolokoka ekiro mu ttumbi n’aggya omwana wange mu mbiriizi zange, nze omuweereza wo nga neebase, n’amuteeka mu kifuba kye, ate n’addira owuwe afudde n’amussa mu kifuba kyange. 21Awo bwe nagolokoka enkya okuyoonsa omwana wange, nga mufu. Naye bwe n’amwekaliriza amaaso, ne ndaba nga si ye mwana gwe nazaala.”
22Omukazi oli omulala n’agamba nti, “Nedda! Omulamu ye mwana wange, omufu ye wuwo.”
Naye ow’olubereberye n’aggumiza nti, “Nedda! Omufu ye wuwo, omulamu ye wange.” Ne bawakanira mu maaso ga kabaka.
23Kabaka n’agamba nti, “Omu agamba nti, ‘Omwana wange ye mulamu, owuwo ye mufu,’ n’omulala agamba nti, ‘Omwana wange ye mulamu, owuwo ye mufu.’ ”
24Awo kabaka n’agamba nti, “Mundeetere ekitala.” Ne baleetera kabaka ekitala. 25N’alyoka alagira nti, “Musaleemu omwana omulamu, muwe omu ekitundu n’omulala ekitundu ekirala.”
263:26 Lub 43:30; Is 49:15; Yer 31:20; Kos 11:8Nnyina w’omwana omulamu n’ajjula ennaku olw’omwana we, n’agamba kabaka nti, “Nkwegayiridde mukama wange, omwana omulamu mumuwe! Tomutta!” Naye omukazi oli n’agamba nti, “Tajja kuba wange oba wuwo. Mumusalemu!”
27Awo kabaka n’asalawo ng’agamba nti, “Omwana omulamu mumuwe omukazi ow’olubereberye, so temumutta, kubanga oyo ye nnyina.”
283:28 nny 9, 11-12; Bak 2:3Isirayiri yonna bwe yawulira okusalawo kwa kabaka, ne beewuunya kabaka, kubanga baalaba ng’alina amagezi okuva eri Katonda okulamula ensonga.
