Isaiah 42
1 Behold, my seruaunt: I will stay vpon him: mine elect, in whom my soule deliteth: I haue put my Spirit vpon him: he shall bring forth iudgement to the Gentiles.
Laba omuweereza wange gwe mpanirira, omulonde wange gwe nsanyukira ennyo. Ndimuwa Omwoyo wange era alireeta obwenkanya eri amawanga.
2 He shall not crie, nor lift vp, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streete.
Talireekaana wadde okuyimusa eddoboozi lye mu luguudo.
3 A bruised reede shall hee not breake, and the smoking flaxe shall he not quench: he shall bring foorth iudgement in trueth.
Talimenya lumuli lubetentefu oba okuzikiza olutambi olwaka empola ennyo; mu bwesigwa alireeta obwenkanya.
4 He shall not faile nor be discouraged till he haue set iudgement in the earth: and the yles shall waite for his lawe.
Taliremererwa oba okuggwaamu essuubi okutuusa ng’aleesewo obutebenkevu ku nsi. N’ebizinga eby’ewala biririndirira amateeka ge.
5 Thus sayeth God the Lord (he that created the heauens and spred them abroad: he that stretched foorth the earth, and the buddes thereof: he that giueth breath vnto the people vpon it, and spirit to them that walke therein)
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, eyatonda eggulu n’alibamba. Eyayanjuluza ensi ne byonna ebigivaamu; awa omukka abantu baakwo era n’obulamu eri bonna abagitambulirako.
6 I the Lord haue called thee in righteousnesse, and will hold thine hand, and I will keepe thee, and giue thee for a couenant of the people, and for a light of the Gentiles,
“Nze Mukama, nakuyita mu butuukirivu. Ndikukwata ku mukono era ndikukuuma. Ndikufuula okuba endagaano eri abantu, era omusana eri bannamawanga.
7 That thou maist open the eyes of the blind, and bring out the prisoners from the prison: and them that sitte in darkenesse, out of the prison house.
Okuzibula amaaso g’abazibe, okuta abasibe okuva mu makomera n’okuggya abo abali mu bunnya, abo abali mu kizikiza.
8 I am the Lord, this is my Name, and my glory wil I not giue to another, neither my praise to grauen images.
“Nze Mukama, eryo lye linnya lyange, n’ekitiibwa kyange sirikiwa mulala, newaakubadde ettendo lyange okukiwa bakatonda abalala.
9 Beholde, the former thinges are come to passe, and newe things doe I declare: before they come foorth, I tell you of them.
Laba, ebyo bye nagamba nti biribaawo bituuse, kaakano mbabuulira ku bigenda okujja; mbibategeeza nga tebinnabaawo.”
10 Sing vnto the Lord a newe song, and his praise from the ende of the earth: yee that goe downe to the sea, and all that is therein: the yles and the inhabitants thereof.
Muyimbire Mukama oluyimba oluggya, ettendo lye okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi! Mmwe abasaabala ku nnyanja ne byonna ebigirimu, mmwe ebizinga ne bonna ababibeeramu.
11 Let the wildernesse and the cities thereof lift vp their voyce, the townes that Kedar doeth inhabite: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing: let them shoute from the toppe of the mountaines.
Leka eddungu n’ebibuga byamu biyimuse amaloboozi gaabyo, ebyalo Kedali mw’atuula. Leka abantu b’e Seera bayimbe n’essanyu. Leka baleekaanire waggulu ku ntikko z’ensozi.
12 Let them giue glorie vnto the Lord, and declare his praise in the ylands.
Leka Mukama bamuwe ekitiibwa era balangirire ettendo lye mu bizinga.
13 The Lord shall go forth as a gyant: he shall stirre vp his courage like a man of warre: he shall shout and crie, and shall preuaile against his enemies.
Mukama, anafuluma okulwana ng’omutabaazi ow’amaanyi, era ng’omutabaazi ow’amaanyi alijja yeeswanta, n’okuleekaana ng’alangirira olutalo. Era aliwangula abalabe be.
14 I haue a long time holden my peace: I haue beene still and refrained my selfe: nowe will I crie like a trauailing woman: I will destroy and deuoure at once.
“Ebbanga ggwanvu nga siriiko kye ŋŋamba, nga nsirise neekuumye. Naye okufaanana ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala, nkaaba, mpejjawejja era nzisa ebikkowe.
15 I will make waste mountaines, and hilles, and drie vp all their herbes, and I will make the floods ylands, and I will drie vp the pooles.
Ndizikiriza ensozi n’obusozi, egyo emiddo gyakwo gyonna ndi wakugiwotosa. Era ndikaza ebinywa byabwe byonna n’emigga ndigifuula ebizinga.
16 And I will bring the blinde by a way, that they knewe not, and lead them by paths that they haue not knowen: I will make darkenesse light before them, and crooked thinges straight. These thinges will I doe vnto them, and not forsake them.
Era ndikulembera abantu bange abazibe ba maaso mu kkubo lye batamanyi n’abayise mbaluŋŋamize mu makubo ge batamanyidde. Ndifuula ekizikiza okuba omusana mu maaso gaabwe n’ebifo ebizibu okuyitamu ndibirongoosa. Ebyo by’ebintu bye ndikola, sirireka bantu bange.
17 They shall be turned backe: they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in grauen images, and say to the molten images, Yee are our gods.
Naye abo abeesiga bakatonda abalala, ababagamba nti, ‘Mwe bakatonda baffe,’ balikwasibwa ensonyi, era baligobebwa, mu buswavu obungi.”
18 Heare, ye deafe: and ye blinde, regarde, that ye may see.
“Muwulire mmwe bakiggala, mutunule mmwe bamuzibe, mulabe.
19 Who is blinde but my seruaunt? or deafe as my messenger, that I sent? who is blind as the perfit, and blinde as the Lordes seruant?
Ani muzibe okuggyako omuweereza wange, oba kiggala okuggyako omubaka wange gwe ntuma? Eriyo eyaziba amaaso asinga oyo eyeewaayo gye ndi, oba omuzibe ng’omuweereza wa Mukama?
20 Seeing many things, but thou keepest them not? opening the eares, but he heareth not?
Olabye ebintu bingi naye tobifuddeko, amatu go maggule naye tolina ky’owulira.”
21 The Lord is willing for his righteousnesse sake that he may magnifie the Lawe, and exalt it.
Kyasanyusa Mukama olw’obulungi obw’obutuukirivu bwe okukuza amateeka ge n’okugassaamu ekitiibwa.
22 But this people is robbed and spoiled, and shalbe all snared in dungeons, and they shalbe hid in prison houses: they shall be for a pray, and none shall deliuer: a spoile, and none shall say, Restore.
Naye bano, bantu be, ababbibwa ne banyagibwa bonna ne basibibwa mu binnya oba abasibibwa mu makomera. Bafuuka munyago nga tewali n’omu abanunula, bafuuliddwa abanyage nga tewali n’omu agamba nti, “Bateebwe baddeyo.”
23 Who among you shall hearken to this, and take heede, and heare for afterwardes?
Ani ku mmwe anaawuliriza kino, oba anaafaayo ennyo n’awuliriza mu biro ebigenda okujja?
24 Who gaue Iaakob for a spoyle, and Israel to the robbers? Did not ye Lord, because we haue sinned against him? for they woulde not walke in his waies, neither be obedient vnto his Lawe.
Ani eyawaayo Yakobo okuba omunyago ne Isirayiri eri abanyazi? Teyali Mukama gwe twayonoona? Ekyo yakikola kubanga tebaagoberera makubo ge. Tebaagondera mateeka ge.
25 Therefore hee hath powred vpon him his fierce wrath, and the strength of battell: and it set him on fire round about, and he knewe not, and it burned him vp, yet he considered not.
Kyeyava abafukako obusungu bwe obubuubuuka n’obulumi bw’entalo. Beebungululwa ennimi z’omuliro naye tebaategeera. Gwabookya naye ne batakissaako mwoyo.
