< Isaiah 57 >

1 The righteous perisheth, and no man considereth it in heart: and mercifull men are taken away, and no man vnderstandeth that the righteous is taken away from the euill to come.
Abantu abatuukirivu bazikirira, naye tewali akirowoozako n’akatono. Abantu abeewaddeyo eri Katonda batwalibwa nga tewali n’afuddeyo kukirowoozaako. Kubanga omutuukirivu aggyibwawo olw’akabi akagenda okujja.
2 Peace shall come: they shall rest in their beds, euery one that walketh before him.
Ayingira mu mirembe n’afuna okuwummulira mu kufa kwe, ne bawummula ga beebase, abo abatambulira mu bugolokofu.
3 But you witches children, come hither, the seede of the adulterer and of the whore.
“Naye mmwe mujje musembere wano batabani b’omukazi omufumu ezzadde ly’omwenzi omukazi eyeetunda.
4 On whome haue ye iested? vpon whome haue ye gaped and thrust out your tongue? are not ye rebellious children, and a false seede?
Muzannyira ku ani? Ani gwe mukongoola ne mumusoomooza? Temuli baana ba bujeemu, ezzadde eryobulimba?
5 Inflamed with idoles vnder euery greene tree? and sacrificing the children in the valleys vnder the tops of the rocks?
Mwaka ne mwegombera wansi w’emiti na buli wansi wa buli muti oguyimiridde; mmwe abasaddaaka abaana bammwe mu biwonvu ne wansi w’enjatika z’enjazi.
6 Thy portion is in the smooth stones of the riuer: they, they are thy lot: euen to them hast thou powred a drinke offering: thou hast offered a sacrifice. Should I delite in these?
Bakatonda bo ge mayinja amaweweevu gosinziza mu biwonvu, abo be babo, obusika bwo; abo b’ofukira ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa era n’ebiweebwayo eby’empeke. Nga weemalidde mu kukola bino byonna, olowooza nnyinza okusanyuka?
7 Thou hast made thy bed vpon a very hie mountaine: thou wentest vp thither, euen thither wentest thou to offer sacrifice.
Mwambuka ku ntikko z’ensozi okwenda nga mugenze okuwaayo ssaddaaka.
8 Behinde the doores also and postes hast thou set vp thy remembrance: for thou hast discouered thy selfe to another then me, and wentest vp, and diddest enlarge thy bed, and make a couenant betweene thee and them, and louedst their bed in euery place where thou sawest it.
Emabega w’enzigi zammwe we muteeka ebibumbe eby’obuwemu bye musinza. Mwandeka ne mukola eby’obuwemu mu bitanda byammwe ebigazi. Eyo gye mweyambulira ne mukola endagaano n’abo be mwagala be muleeta mu bitanda byammwe.
9 Thou wentest to the Kings with oyle, and diddest increase thine oyntments and sende thy messengers farre off, and diddest humble thy selfe vnto hell. (Sheol h7585)
Ne weekuba kalifuuwa omuyitirivu ng’ogenda okutwala amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ewa Moleki katonda wo, n’otuma ababaka bo ewala ennyo banoonye bakatonda, kumpi batuuke n’emagombe. (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou weariedst thy selfe in thy manifolde iourneys, yet saydest thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found life by thine hand, therefore thou wast not grieued.
Amakubo go gonna gakuteganya ne gakukooya nnyo naye teweegamba nako nti, ‘Nteganira ki atalina kyeŋŋanyurwa?’ Singa tewanoonya bikuzaamu maanyi, wandizirise.
11 And whome diddest thou reuerence or feare, seeing thou hast lyed vnto me, and hast not remembred me, neither set thy minde thereon? is it not because I holde my peace, and that of long time? therefore thou fearest not me.
“B’ani abo be watya n’otekemuka n’obawuliriza, n’olyoka olimba, nze n’otonzijukira n’akatono wadde okundowoozaako? Olw’okubanga nsirise n’esikunyega ky’ekikuyinudde n’onneerabira n’ompisaamu amaaso.
12 I will declare thy righteousnes and thy workes, and they shall not profite thee.
Nnaayolesa obutuukirivu bwo ne by’okola, naye tebigenda kukugasa.
13 When thou cryest, let them that thou hast gathered together deliuer thee: but the winde shall take them all away: vanitie shall pull them away: but he that trusteth in me, shall inherite the lande, and shall possesse mine holy Mountaine.
Bw’okaabanga nga weetaaga obuyambi, leka bakatonda bo be wakuŋŋaanya bakununule; naye empewo eribatwala, omukka obukka abantu gwe bassa gulibaggirawo ddala bonna. Naye oyo anfuula ekiddukiro kye alirya ensi era alitwala olusozi lwange olutukuvu.”
14 And he shall say, Cast vp, cast vp: prepare the way: take vp the stumbling blocks out of the way of my people.
Era kiryogerwa nti, “Muzimbe, muzimbe, mulongoose ekkubo! Muggyeewo enkonge zonna mu kkubo ly’abantu bange.”
15 For thus sayth he that is hie and excellent, he that inhabiteth the eternitie, whose Name is the Holy one, I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirite to reuiue the spirite of the humble, and to giue life to them that are of a contrite heart.
Kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera oyo ali waggulu omugulumivu omulamu emirembe n’emirembe, ow’erinnya ettukuvu nti, “Ntuula mu kifo ekigulumivu ekitukuvu awamu n’oyo alina omwoyo oguboneredde ogwetoowaza, okuzzaamu amaanyi omwoyo gw’abakkakkamu, era n’ogw’abo ababoneredde.
16 For I will not contende for euer, neither will I be alwayes wroth, for the spirite should fayle before me: and I haue made the breath.
Kubanga sirirumiriza bantu bange emirembe n’emirembe era siribasunguwalira bbanga lyonna. Kubanga omutima gw’omuntu gwandigwereddewo mu maaso gange nga ndaba, emmeeme y’omuntu nze gye nakola.
17 For his wicked couetousnesse I am angry with him, and haue smitten him: I hid mee and was angry, yet he went away, and turned after the way of his owne heart.
Olw’okwegomba kwe okw’obutali butuukirivu nnali nzijjudde obusungu. Namubonereza ne nkweka amaaso gange olw’obusungu obungi naye yeeyongera okugenda mu maaso mu makubo amabi.
18 I haue seene his wayes, and wil heale him: I wil leade him also, and restore comfort vnto him, and to those that lament him.
Nalaba by’akola, naye ndimuwonya. Ndimuluŋŋamya ne muddiza emirembe era ne mbeesabeesa abo abakungubaga.
19 I create the fruite of the lips, to be peace: peace vnto them that are farre off, and to them that are neere, sayth the Lord: for I will heale him.
Mirembe, era mirembe, eri abo abali ewala n’eri abo abali okumpi, era ndibawonya,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
20 But the wicked are like the raging sea, that can not rest, whose waters cast vp myre and dirt.
Naye ababi bali ng’ennyanja esiikuuse, eteyinza kutereera, ey’amayengo agasiikuula ebitosi n’ebitaka.
21 There is no peace, sayth my God, to the wicked.
“Tewali mirembe, eri aboonoonyi,” bw’ayogera Katonda wange.
