< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this who is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Ani ono ava mu Edomu mu kibuga Bozula anekaanekanye mu ngoye emyufu. Ani ono ali mu ngoye za bakabaka akumba mu bukulu bw’ekitiibwa kye? “Ye nze alangirira obutuukirivu, ow’amaanyi okulokola.”
2 Why are thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him who treads in the wine vat?
Lwaki oyambadde ebyambalo ebimyufu ng’eby’omusogozi w’omu ssogolero lya wayini?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples there was no man with me. Yea, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath, and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.
“Nva kulinnyirira amawanga nga emizabbibu, tewali n’omu yajja kunnyambako. Nabalinnyiririra mu busungu era omusaayi gwabwe ne gusammukira ku ngoye zange, era guyiise ku byambalo byange.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
Kubanga olunaku olw’okununula abantu bange lwali lutuuse, olunaku olw’okuwoolera eggwanga abalabe baabwe.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help. And I wondered that there was none to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. And my wrath, it upheld me.
Natunula naye nga tewali n’omu ayinza kunnyamba, newuunya okulaba nga tewaali n’omu ayinza kunkwatirako. Kale omukono gwange ne gundeetera obuwanguzi, era obusungu bwange ne bunnyweza.
6 And I trod down the peoples in my anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.
Mu busungu bwange nalinnyirira abantu, mu kiruyi kyange ne mbatamiiza, omusaayi gwabwe ne nguyiwa ku ttaka.”
7 I will make mention of the loving kindnesses of Jehovah, and the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Ndibuulira ku bulungi bwa Mukama, ebikolwa ebyamugwanyisa okutenderezebwa, okusinziira ku byonna Mukama by’atukoledde; weewaawo ebirungi ebingi by’akoledde ennyumba ya Isirayiri, okusinziira ku kisa kye, okusinziira ku bungi bw’okwagala kwe okutajjulukuka.
8 For he said, Surely, they are my people, sons that will not deal falsely. So he was their Savior.
Yagamba nti, “Ddala bantu bange, abaana aboobulenzi abatannimbelimbe,” era bw’atyo n’afuuka omulokozi waabwe.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the agent of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. And he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
Yabonaabonera wamu nabo mu kubonaabona kwabwe kwonna, era malayika ayimirira mu maaso ge n’abawonya. Mu kwagala kwe n’ekisa kye yabanunula; yabayimusa n’abeetikka mu nnaku zonna ez’edda.
10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit. Therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.
Naye baajeema ne banyiiza Mwoyo Mutukuvu, kyeyava abakyukira n’afuuka omulabe waabwe era ye kennyini n’abalwanyisa.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them,
Ne balyoka bajjukira ennaku ez’edda, ennaku ez’edda eza Musa n’abantu be; aluwa oyo eyabayisa mu nnyanja n’omulunzi w’ekisibo kye. Aluwa oyo eyateeka Mwoyo Mutukuvu wakati mu bo
12 who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,
eyatuma omukono gwe ogw’ekitiibwa ogw’amaanyi okubeera ku mukono gwa Musa ogwa ddyo, eyayawulamu amazzi nga balaba, yeekolere erinnya ery’emirembe n’emirembe?
13 who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not?
Ani eyabakulembera n’abayisa mu buziba? Ng’embalaasi mu nsi eyeetadde enjereere tebeesittala.
14 As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused them to rest. So thou led thy people to make thyself a glorious name.
Ng’ente ezigenda mu nsi eyeetadde, Omwoyo wa Mukama yabawummuza. Bw’otyo bwe wakulembera abantu bo okwekolera erinnya ery’ettendo.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory. Where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? The yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me.
Tunula wansi ng’oli waggulu mu ggulu olabe, ng’oli ku ntebe yo ey’ekitiibwa egulumidde entukuvu. Obunyiikivu bwo n’ebikolwa byo eby’amaanyi biri ludda wa? Obulungi bwo n’ekisa bitukwekeddwa.
16 For thou are our Father, though Abraham knows us not, and Israel does not acknowledge us, thou, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.
Ggwe Kitaffe, wadde nga Ibulayimu tatumanyi era nga Isirayiri tatutegeera, Ayi Mukama Katonda, ggwe Kitaffe Omununuzi waffe okuva edda n’edda lye linnya lyo.
17 O Jehovah, why do thou make us to err from thy ways, and harden our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
Ayi Mukama Katonda, lwaki otuleka ne tuva ku makubo go, n’okakanyaza omutima gwaffe, ne tutakutya? Komawo olw’obulungi bw’abaddu bo amawanga g’omugabo gwo.
18 Thy holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Abantu bo abatukuvu baali mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu akaseera katono, naye kaakano abalabe baffe bakirinnyiridde.
19 We have become as those over whom thou never bore rule, as those who were not called by thy name.
Ffe tuli bantu bo okuva edda n’edda; naye bo tobafuganga, tebayitibwanga linnya lyo.
