< Isaiah 62 >

1 For the sake of Zion, I will not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest, until her Just One advances in splendor, and her Savior is kindled like a lamp.
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 Gentiles will see your Just One, and all the kings will see your Renowned One. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will choose.
Amawanga galiraba obutuukirivu bwo, era ne bakabaka bonna baliraba ekitiibwa kyo. Oliyitibwa erinnya epya akamwa ka Mukama lye kalikuwa.
3 And you shall be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Olibeera ngule etemagana mu mikono gya Mukama, enkuufiira y’obwakabaka mu mukono gwa Katonda wo.
4 You will no longer be called Forsaken. And your land will no longer be called Desolate. Instead, you shall be called My Will within it, and your land shall be called Inhabited. For the Lord has been well pleased with you, and your land will be inhabited.
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 the young man will live with the virgin, and your children will live with you. And the groom will rejoice over the bride, and your God will rejoice over you.
Kubanga ng’omuvubuka bwawasa omuwala omuto bw’atyo eyakutonda bwalikulabirira. Nga omugole omusajja bwasanyukira oyo gw’awasizza, bw’atyo Katonda bwalikusanyukira.
6 Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have stationed watchmen all day and all night unceasingly; they will not be silent. You who are mindful of the Lord, you should not be silent,
Ntadde abakuumi ku bbugwe wo, ggwe Yerusaalemi abataasirike emisana n’ekiro. Mmwe abakoowoola Mukama temuwummula.
7 and you should not grant silence to him, until he makes firm and establishes Jerusalem as a praise upon the earth.
Era temumuganya kuwummula okutuusa nga azimbye Yerusaalemi era ng’agifudde ettendo mu nsi.
8 The Lord has sworn with his right hand and with the arm of his strength: “Certainly, I will no longer permit your grain to be the food of your enemies. And the sons of foreigners will not drink your wine, for which you 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 For those who gather it will eat it, and they will praise the Lord. And those who bring it together will drink it in my holy courts.
Naye abo abagikungula be baligirya ne batendereza Mukama, n’abo abanoga emizabbibu be baliginywera mu mpya z’omu watukuvu wange.”
10 Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare a way for the people! Make the road level, remove the stones, and lift up a sign for the people!
Muyiteemu, muyite mu miryango mugende! Muzimbe oluguudo, mulugyemu amayinja. Muyimusize amawanga ebbendera.
11 Behold, the Lord has caused it to be heard to the ends of the earth. Tell the daughter of Zion: “Behold, your Savior approaches! Behold, his reward is with him, and his work 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 will call them: The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord. Then you will be called: A city sought, and not forsaken.
Era baliyitibwa Abantu Abatukuvu, Abanunule ba Mukama, ne Yerusaalemi kiyitibwe, Ekibuga Mukama ky’ayagala, Ekibuga Ekitakyali ttayo.
