Bw’ogaba Katonda Akuddizaawo
111:1 a nny 6; Is 32:20; Kos 10:12 b Ma 24:19; Nge 19:17; Mat 10:42Siganga emmere yo ng’enkuba etonnya,
kubanga ebbanga lyayo bwe lirituuka olikungula.
2Gabiranga musanvu weewaawo munaana,
kubanga mu biseera eby’oluvannyuma oyinza okubeera mu kwetaaga.
3Ebire bwe bijjula amazzi,
bitonnyesa enkuba ku nsi;
n’omuti bwe gugwa nga gwolekedde obukiikaddyo oba obukiikakkono,
mu kifo mwe gugwa mwe gulibeera.
4Oyo alabirira embuyaga talisiga;
n’oyo atunuulira ebire talikungula.
511:5 a Yk 3:8-10 b Zab 139:14-16Nga bw’otosobola kutegeera kkubo mpewo,
oba omubiri nga bwe guzimbibwa ku mwana ali mu lubuto;
bw’otyo bw’otosobola kutegeera Katonda
Omutonzi wa byonna by’akola.
611:6 Mub 9:10Ku makya siga ensigo zo,
n’akawungeezi toddiriza mukono gwo;
kubanga tomanyi eziryala,
zino oba ziri,
oba zombi ziriba nnungi.
711:7 Mub 7:11Ekitangaala kirungi,
era okulaba ku musana kisanyusa.
811:8 Mub 12:1Kale omuntu bw’awangaala emyaka emingi,
agisanyukirengamu gyonna,
naye ajjukirenga nti waliwo ennaku ez’ekizikiza
nnyingi ezijja.
Ebyo byonna ebijja butaliimu.
911:9 Yob 19:29; Mub 2:24; 3:17; 12:14; Bar 14:10Omuvubuka sanyukiranga mu buvubuka bwo,
n’omutima gwo gusanyukenga mu nnaku ez’obuvubuka bwo;
tambulira mu makubo g’omutima gwo
ne mu kulaba kw’amaaso go.
Naye manya nga mu byonna,
Katonda agenda kukusalira omusango.
1011:10 a Zab 94:19 b Mub 2:24Noolwekyo ggyawo okweraliikirira mu mutima
era weggyeko emitawaana mu ggwe,
kubanga obuvubuka n’amaanyi gaabwe butaliimu.
Do Many Things to Succeed
1Sell your grain in the market overseas.
After a while you might earn something from it.
2Try to succeed by doing many things.
After all, you don’t know what great trouble might come on the land.
3Clouds that are full of water
pour rain down on the earth.
A tree might fall to the south or the north.
It will stay in the place where it falls.
4Anyone who keeps on watching the wind won’t plant seeds.
Anyone who keeps looking at the clouds won’t gather crops.
5You don’t know the path the wind takes.
You don’t know how a baby is made inside its mother.
So you can’t understand how God works either.
He made everything.
6In the morning plant your seeds.
In the evening keep your hands busy.
You don’t know what will succeed.
It may be one or the other.
Or both might do equally well.
Remember Your Creator While You Are Young
7Light is sweet.
People enjoy being out in the sun.
8No matter how many years anyone might live,
let them enjoy all of them.
But let them remember the dark days.
There will be many of those.
Nothing that’s going to happen will have any meaning.
9You young people, be happy while you are still young.
Let your heart be joyful while you are still strong.
Do what your heart tells you to do.
Go after what your eyes look at.
But I want you to know
that God will judge you for everything you do.
10So drive worry out of your heart.
Get rid of all your troubles.
Being young and strong doesn’t have any meaning.
