< Isaiah 62 >
1 For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
Ku lwa Sayuuni ssiisirike, era ku lwa Yerusaalemi ssiiwummule, okutuusa nga obutuukirivu bwe butemagana ng’emmambya esala, obulokozi bwe ng’ettaala eyaka.
2 And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory. And thou shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.
Amawanga galiraba obutuukirivu bwo, era ne bakabaka bonna baliraba ekitiibwa kyo. Oliyitibwa erinnya epya akamwa ka Mukama lye kalikuwa.
3 Thou shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Olibeera ngule etemagana mu mikono gya Mukama, enkuufiira y’obwakabaka mu mukono gwa Katonda wo.
4 Thou shall no more be termed Forsaken, nor shall thy land any more be termed Desolate. But thou shall be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah, for Jehovah delights in thee, and thy land shall be married.
Ataliddayo kuyitibwa nti, Eyalekebwa, ensi yo teriddamu kuyitibwa nti, Yazika. Naye oliyitibwa nti, Gwe nsanyukira, n’ensi yo eyitibwe nti, Eyafumbirwa. Kubanga Mukama akusanyukira era ensi yo eribeera ng’omukazi afumbiddwa.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee. And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
Kubanga ng’omuvubuka bwawasa omuwala omuto bw’atyo eyakutonda bwalikulabirira. Nga omugole omusajja bwasanyukira oyo gw’awasizza, bw’atyo Katonda bwalikusanyukira.
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem. They shall never keep silent day nor night. Ye who are Jehovah's reminders, take ye no rest,
Ntadde abakuumi ku bbugwe wo, ggwe Yerusaalemi abataasirike emisana n’ekiro. Mmwe abakoowoola Mukama temuwummula.
7 and give him no rest, till he establishes, and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Era temumuganya kuwummula okutuusa nga azimbye Yerusaalemi era ng’agifudde ettendo mu nsi.
8 Jehovah has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies, and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou have labored.
Mukama yalayira n’omukono gwe ogwa ddyo era n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi: “Siriddayo nate kuwaayo ŋŋaano yo kubeera mmere y’abalabe bo, era bannaggwanga tebaddeyo kunywa nvinnyo yo gy’otawaanidde.
9 But those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah. And those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
Naye abo abagikungula be baligirya ne batendereza Mukama, n’abo abanoga emizabbibu be baliginywera mu mpya z’omu watukuvu wange.”
10 Go through, go through the gates. Prepare ye the way of the people. Cast up, cast up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up an ensign for the peoples.
Muyiteemu, muyite mu miryango mugende! Muzimbe oluguudo, mulugyemu amayinja. Muyimusize amawanga ebbendera.
11 Behold, Jehovah has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
Laba Mukama alangiridde eyo yonna ensi gy’ekoma, nti, “Gamba omuwala wa Sayuuni nti, ‘Laba omulokozi wo ajja, Laba aleeta n’ebirabo bingi, n’abantu b’anunudde bamukulembedde.’”
12 And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah. And thou shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Era baliyitibwa Abantu Abatukuvu, Abanunule ba Mukama, ne Yerusaalemi kiyitibwe, Ekibuga Mukama ky’ayagala, Ekibuga Ekitakyali ttayo.
