Isaiah 65
1 “I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’
Mukama n’alyoka agamba nti, “Nze nnali mwetegefu okweyoleka eri abo abaali tebannoonya. Neeraga abo abaali tebannoonya. Eri eggwanga eryali litakoowoola linnya lyange nneyoleka gye bali ng’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Ndi wano, Ndi wano.’
2 All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,
Nagolola emikono gyange olunaku lwonna okutuusa obudde okuziba eri abantu abeewagguzze, abatambulira mu makubo amabi abagoberera entegeka ezaabwe ku bwabwe;
3 to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,
abantu bulijjo abansomooza mu maaso gange gennyini nga bawaayo ebiweebwayo mu nnimiro ne bookera n’ebiweebwayo ku byoto eby’amatoffaali;
4 sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.
abatuula mu malaalo ne bamalako ekiro kyonna mu bifo ebyekusifu, abalya ennyama y’embizzi, era n’amaseffuliya gaabwe gajjudde ennyama etali nnongoofu.
5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.
Bagamba nti, ‘Beera wala, tojja kumpi nange, kubanga ndi mutuukirivu nnyo ggwe okunsaanira!’ Abantu bwe batyo mukka mu nnyindo zange, omuliro ogwaka olunaku lwonna.
6 Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,
“Laba kiwandiikiddwa mu maaso gange. Sijja kusirika naye nzija kusasula mu bujjuvu, nzija kubasasula bibatuukireko ddala;
7 both for your iniquities and for those of your fathers,” says the LORD. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and scorned Me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their former deeds.”
olw’ebibi byammwe byonna era n’olw’ebibi bya bakitammwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. “Kubanga baayokera ebiweebwayo byabwe ku lusozi era ne bannyoomera ku busozi, ndibalira mu mikono gyabwe empeera yennyini enzijuvu ey’ebikolwa byabwe eby’edda.”
8 This is what the LORD says: “As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes, and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’ so I will act on behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all.
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama: “Ng’omubisi bwe gusangibwa mu kirimba ky’emizabbibu abantu ne bagamba nti, ‘Togwonoona, gukyalimu akalungi,’ bwe ntyo bwe ndikibakolera olw’obulungi bw’abaweereza bange. Sijja kubasaanyaawo bonna.
9 And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and heirs from Judah; My elect will possess My mountains, and My servants will dwell there.
Ndiggya ezzadde okuva mu Yakobo era ne mu Yuda abo abalitwala ensozi zange; abantu bange abalonde balizigabana, era eyo abaweereza bange gye balibeera.
10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for My people who seek Me.
Awo Saloni kiribeera ddundiro lya bisibo, era n’ekiwonvu kya Akoli kifo kya nte we zigalamira olw’abantu bange abannoonya.
11 But you who forsake the LORD, who forget My holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,
“Naye mmwe abava ku Mukama ne mwerabira olusozi lwange olutukuvu ne muteekerateekera emmeeza katonda wammwe, Mukisa, ne mujuliza katonda wammwe, Kusalawo, ebikopo eby’envinnyo,
12 I will destine you for the sword, and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not listen; you did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”
ndibawaayo eri ekitala era mwenna mukutaamirire musalibwe, kubanga nabayita naye temwayitaba, nayogera naye temwampuliriza. Mwakola ebitasaana era ne musalawo okukola ebitansanyusa.”
13 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.
Noolwekyo kino Mukama Ayinzabyonna ky’agamba: “Abaweereza bange bajja kulya, naye mmwe mujja kulumwa enjala, abaweereza bange bajja kunywa, naye mmwe mulumwe ennyonta; abaweereza bange bajja kujaguza, naye mmwe mukwatibwe ensonyi.
14 My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.
Abaweereza bange bajja kuyimba olw’essanyu erinaaba mu mitima gyabwe, naye mmwe muli ba kukaaba olw’okulumwa okunaabeera mu mitima gyammwe era mukaabe olw’okulumwa emyoyo.
15 You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name.
Ekikolimo kiryoke kibagwire, Nze Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye mbatte amannya gammwe geerabirwe, naye mpe amannya amaggya abo abaŋŋondera.
16 Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.
Kiryoke kibeere nti buli muntu ananoonya okufuna omukisa anaagunoonya kuva eri Katonda Ow’amazima buli anaalayiranga mu ggwanga anaalayiranga Katonda ow’amazima. Kubanga emitawaana egyayita gya kwerabirwa gikwekebwe okuva mu maaso gange.
17 For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
“Laba nditonda eggulu eriggya n’ensi empya. Ebintu eby’edda tebijja kujjukirwa wadde okulowoozebwako mu mutima.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.
Naye musanyukire ekyo kye ntonda mujaguze emirembe n’emirembe, kubanga nditonda Yerusaalemi okuba essanyu n’abantu baamu okuba okujaguza.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.
Ndijaguza olwa Yerusaalemi era nsanyukire abantu bange; amaloboozi ag’okukaaba tegaliddayo kuwulirwamu.
20 No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
“Teriddayo kuba mu kyo mwana muwere anaaberawo ennaku obunaku, oba omusajja omukulu ataamalengayo myaka gye; oyo alifiira ku myaka ekikumi alitwalibwa ng’omuvubuka obuvubuka. Oyo atalituusa kikumi abalibwe ng’eyakolimirwa.
21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Balizimba ennyumba bazisulemu, balisimba emizabbibu balye ebibala byagyo.
22 No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.
Tebalizimba nnyumba ate omulala agisulemu, tebalisimba ate omulala abirye. Kubanga emyaka gy’emiti nga bwe giba bwe gityo bwe giribeera emyaka gy’abantu bange. Abalonde bange balirwawo nga bawoomerwa emirimu gy’emikono gyabwe.
23 They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD— they and their descendants with them.
Tebalikolera bwereere oba okuzaala abaana ab’okugwa mu katyabaga, kubanga balibeera abantu abaweebwa Mukama Katonda omukisa, bo awamu n’ab’enda yaabwe.
24 Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
Nga tebanakoowoola ndibaddamu, nga bakyayogera bati mbaddemu.
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,”
Omusege n’omwana gw’endiga biriire wamu, era empologoma erye omuddo ng’ennume, era ettaka libeere emmere y’omusota. Tewaliba kulumya wadde kuzikiriza ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
