Esias 56
1 Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my mercy to be revealed.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Mukolenga obwenkanya era ebituufu, kubanga obulokozi bwange bunaatera okujja, n’obutuukirivu bwange bunatera okubikkulibwa.
2 Blessed is the man that does these things, and the man that holds by them, and keeps the sabbaths from profaning them, and keeps his hands from doing unrighteousness.
Alina omukisa omuntu akola ekyo, n’omwana w’omuntu akinyweererako. Akwata ssabbiiti obutagyonoona, n’akuuma omukono gwe obutakola kibi na kimu.”
3 Let not the stranger who attaches himself to the Lord, say, Surely the Lord will separate me from his people: and let not the eunuch say, I am a dry tree.
Era ne munnaggwanga eyeegatta ku Mukama tayogeranga nti, “Mukama, oboolyawo alinjawula ku bantu be,” so n’omulaawe okugamba nti, “Ndi muti mukalu.”
4 Thus saith the Lord to the eunuchs, as many as shall keep my sabbaths, and choose the things which I take pleasure in, and take hold of my covenant;
Kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Eri abalaawe abakwata ssabbiiti zange ne basalawo okugoberera ebyo ebinsanyusa, ne bakuuma endagaano yange,
5 I will give to them in my house and within my walls an honourable place, better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, and it shall not fail.
amannya gaabwe galijjukirwa mu yeekaalu yange mu bisenge byamu, ng’ekijjukizo n’okusinga bwe mwandibadde n’abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala. Ndibawa erinnya eritaliggwaawo ery’emirembe n’emirembe.
6 And [I will give it] to the strangers that attach themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be to him servants and handmaids; and [as for] all that keep my sabbaths from profaning [them], and that take hold of my covenant;
N’abo bannaggwanga abasalawo okwegatta ku Mukama, okumuweereza era n’okwagala erinnya lya Mukama era n’okubeera abaweereza be, abakwata ssabbiiti ne batagyonoona era ne banyweza endagaano yange,
7 I will bring them to my holy mountain, and gladden them in my house of prayer: their whole-burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,
bano ndibaleeta ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu era ne mbawa essanyu mu nnyumba yange ey’okusabiramu. Ebiweebwayo byabwe ebyokebwa ne ssaddaaka zaabwe birikkirizibwa ku kyoto kyange. Kubanga ennyumba yange eriyitibwa nnyumba ya kusabiramu eri amawanga gonna.”
8 saith the Lord that gathers the dispersed of Israel; for I will gather to him a congregation.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna, akuŋŋaanya Abayisirayiri abaawaŋŋangusibwa nti, “Ndikuŋŋaanyaayo abantu abalala ng’oggyeko abantu bange aba Isirayiri be nkuŋŋaanyizza.”
9 All ye beasts of the field, come, devour, all ye beasts of the forest.
Mukama agamba amawanga amalala okujja ng’ensolo ez’omu nsiko, galye abantu be.
10 See how they are all blinded: they have not known; [they are] dumb dogs [that] will not bark; dreaming of rest, loving to slumber.
Kubanga abakulembeze ba Isirayiri bazibe ba maaso, bonna tebalina magezi, bonna mbwa ezitasobola kuboggola, zibeera mu kuloota nakugalaamirira ezaagala okwebaka obwebasi.
11 Yea, they are insatiable dogs, that know not what it is to be filled, and they are wicked, having no understanding: all have followed their own ways, each according to his [will].
Embwa ezirina omululu omuyitirivu ezitakkuta. Basumba abatayinza kutegeera, bonna abakyamye mu makubo gaabwe; buli muntu ng’afa ku kwenoonyeza ky’anaalya.
Bagambagana nti, “Mujje, leka tukime omwenge tunywe tutamiire. N’olw’enkya lunaku ng’olwa leero, oba n’okusingawo.”
