Isaiah 58
1 Give a roar from the throat! Don't hold back! Shout out like a trumpet! Announce to my people how rebellious they are; denounce to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
Kyogere mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, tokisirikira. Yimusa eddoboozi lyo ng’ekkondeere, obuulire abantu bange okusobya kwabwe, n’ennyumba ya Yakobo ebibi byabwe.
2 Every day they come to me, pleased to know my ways as if they were a nation that does what is right and follow the laws of their God! They ask me to treat them right; they like to be close to their God.
Kubanga bannoonya buli lunaku era beegomba okumanya amakubo gange, nga bali ng’abantu abakola eby’obutuukirivu so si abaaleka edda ebiragiro bya Katonda waabwe. Bambuuza ensala ennuŋŋamu, ne basanyukira Katonda okusembera gye bali.
3 “Didn't you see that we fasted?” they ask. “Didn't you notice how we denied ourselves?” That's because whenever you fast you still do whatever you want, and you treat your workers badly.
Beebuuza nti, “Lwaki twasiiba, naye ggwe n’otokifaako? Lwaki twetoowaza naye ggwe n’otokissaako mwoyo?” Musooke mulabe, ennaku ze musiiba muba munoonya ssanyu lyammwe ku bwammwe, musigala munyigiriza abakozi bammwe.
4 Can't you see that when you're fasting you quarrel and argue, and end up having a vicious fist-fight? When you fast like this you can't expect your prayers to be heard on high!
Njagala mulabe. Kalungi ki akali mu kusiiba ng’ate mugenda kudda mu nnyombo, n’okukaayana n’okukuba bannammwe agakonde. Temuyinza kusiiba nga bwe mukola kaakano eddoboozi lyammwe ne liwulirwa mu ggulu.
5 Is this the kind of fast I want when people act out their humility by bowing their heads down like a reed and by lying around in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day the Lord appreciates?
Okusiiba kwe nalonda bwe kutyo bwe kufaanana? Olunaku omuntu lw’eyetoowalizaako? Kukutamya bukutamya mutwe, kuguweta nga lumuli n’okugalamira mu bibukutu mu vvu? Okwo kwe muyita okusiiba, olunaku olusiimibwa Mukama?
6 No, this is the fast I want: set free those who have been unjustly imprisoned, untie the cords of the yoke used to burden people, set free those who are oppressed, and get rid of every form of abuse.
Kuno kwe kusiiba kwe nalonda; okusumulula enjegere ezinyigiriza abantu, n’okuggyawo emiguwa gy’ekikoligo, n’okuta abo abanyigirizibwa, n’okumenya buli kikoligo?
7 Share your food with the hungry, take the poor and homeless into your house. When you see people naked, give them clothes, and don't reject your own relatives.
Si kugabira bayala ku mmere yo, n’okusembeza abaavu abatalina maka mu nnyumba yo; bw’olaba ali obwereere, n’omwambaza n’otekweka baŋŋanda zo abeetaaga obuyambi bwo?
8 Then your light will shine out like the dawn, and you will be healed quickly; your salvation will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will go behind you.
Awo omusana gwo gulyoke guveeyo gwake ng’emmambya esala, era okuwonyezebwa kwo kujje mangu; obutuukirivu bwo bukukulembere, era ekitiibwa kya Katonda kikuveeko emabega.
9 Then when you call, the Lord will answer; when you cry out for help, the Lord will say, “I'm here.” If you get rid of oppression among you, if you stop pointing the finger and slandering others,
Olwo olikoowoola, Mukama n’akuddamu; olikaaba naye n’akuddamu nti, Ndi wano. “Bwe muliggyawo ekikoligo ekinyigiriza n’okusonga ennwe, n’okwogera n’ejjoogo;
10 if you dedicate yourselves to helping the hungry and give the poor what they need, then your light will shine out in the darkness, and your night will be like the sun at noon.
bw’olyewaayo okuyamba abayala n’odduukirira abali mu buzibu, olwo omusana gwo gulyaka n’ova mu kizikiza, ekibadde ekiro kifuuke ettuntu.
11 The Lord will always lead you; he will give you all you need in you in a desolate land; he will make you strong again. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring that never runs dry.
Era Mukama anaakuluŋŋamyanga ennaku zonna, n’akuwa ebintu ebirungi obulamu bwo bye bwetaaga, amagumba go aligongeramu amaanyi; era olibeera ng’ennimiro enfukirire obulungi, era ng’oluzzi olw’amazzi agatakalira.
12 Some among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore generations-old foundations. You will be called the Repairer of the Break in the Wall, the Restorer of Life's Pathways.
N’abantu bo balizimba ebifo eby’edda ebyazika era baddemu okuzimba emisingi egy’edda. Olyoke oyitibwe omuddaabiriza wa bbugwe eyamenyeka, omuddaabiriza wa mayumba ag’okusulamu.
13 If you make sure you don't break the Sabbath by doing whatever you please on my holy day, if you say the Sabbath brings you pleasure and the Lord's day is to be honored, and if you honor it by leaving aside your own ways, by not doing whatever you please, and by avoiding everyday chatting,
“Bw’oneekuumanga obutayonoona Ssabbiiti, obutakola nga bw’oyagala ku lunaku lwange olutukuvu, bw’onooluyitanga olw’essanyu era olunaku lwa Mukama olw’ekitiibwa, singa muluwa ekitiibwa ne mutakwata makubo gammwe oba obutakola nga bwe mwagala oba okwogera ebigambo eby’okubalaata,
14 then you'll find the Lord is the one who truly makes you happy, and I will give you high positions on the earth and give you what I promised to Jacob, your forefather. I, the Lord, have spoken.
awo olifuna essanyu eriva eri Mukama era olitambulira mu bifo by’ensi ebya waggulu era ndikuwa obusika bwa kitaawo Yakobo” Akamwa ka Mukama ke kakyogedde.
