Isaiah 66
1 Thus saith the Lord, The heauen is my throne, and the earth is my footestoole: where is that house that ye will builde vnto me? and where is that place of my rest?
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “Eggulu y’entebe yange kwe nfugira n’ensi ke katebe kwe mpummuliza ebigere byange, nnyumba ki gye mulinzimbira? Kifo ki kye mulimpa okuwummuliramu?
2 For all these things hath mine hand made, and all these things haue bene, sayth the Lord: and to him will I looke, euen to him, that is poore, and of a contrite spirite and trembleth at my wordes.
Ebintu bino byonna emikono gyange si gye gyagikola, noolwekyo ebintu bino byonna byange?” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. “Ono ye muntu gwe ntunulako; oyo ow’eggonjebwa era omwetoowaze mu mwoyo, oyo akankanira ekigambo kyange.
3 He that killeth a bullocke, is as if he slewe a man: he that sacrificeth a sheepe, as if he cut off a dogges necke: he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swines blood: he that remembreth incense, as if he blessed an idole: yea, they haue chosen their owne wayes, and their soule deliteth in their abominations.
Naye asaddaaka ente aba ng’asse omuntu, oyo awaayo omwana gw’endiga n’aba ng’amenye ensingo y’embwa, n’oyo awaayo ekiweebwayo eky’empeke aba ng’awaddeyo omusaayi gw’embizzi, era oyo anyookeza obubaane bw’ekijjukizo aba ng’asinza ekifaananyi ekikole n’emikono. Abantu bakutte amakubo gaabwe, era emmeeme zaabwe zisanyukira eby’emizizo byabwe.
4 Therefore will I chuse out their delusions, and I will bring their feare vpon them, because I called, and none woulde answere: I spake and they woulde not heare: but they did euill in my sight, and chose the things which I would not.
Nange ndisalawo mbatuuseeko ekibambulira, mbaleeteko kye batandyagadde kibatuukeko. Kubanga bwe nayita, teri n’omu yayanukula, bwe nnaayogera tebanfaako. Bakola ebibi mu maaso gange ne bagoberera ebitansanyusa.”
5 Heare the worde of the Lord, all ye that tremble at his worde, Your brethren that hated you, and cast you out for my Names sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appeare to your ioy, and they shall be ashamed.
Muwulirize ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda mmwe abakankanira ekigambo kye. “Baganda bammwe abatabaagala era ababayigganya olw’erinnya lyange babasekerera nti, ‘Leka Mukama alage obukulu bwe abalokole tulabe bwe musanyuka!’ Naye bo be banaakwasibwa ensonyi.
6 A voyce soundeth from the citie, euen a voyce from the Temple, the voyce of the Lord, that recompenseth his enemies fully.
Muwulirize. Oluyoogaano oluva mu kibuga, muwulirize eddoboozi eriva mu yeekaalu. Eddoboozi eryo lya Mukama Katonda ng’asasula abalabe be nga bwe kibagwanira.
7 Before she trauailed, she brought foorth: and before her paine came, she was deliuered of a man childe.
“Ekibuga kyange ekitukuvu kiri ng’omukazi azaala nga tannatuusa kulumwa, obulumi nga tebunatuuka n’akubawo eddenzi.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seene such things? shall ye earth be brought forth in one day? or shall a nation be borne at once? for assoone as Zion trauailed, she brought foorth her children.
Ani eyali awulidde ekintu bwe kityo? Ani eyali alabye ekiri ng’ekyo? Ensi eyinza okuzaalibwa mu lunaku lumu oba eggwanga okutondebwawo mu kaseera obuseera? Akaseera katono bwe kati, Sayuuni anaaba yakalumwa ng’eggwanga litondebwa.
9 Shall I cause to trauaile, and not bring forth? shall I cause to bring forth, and shall be baren, saith thy God?
Nnyinza okutuusa abantu bange ku kuzaalibwa ne batazaalibwa?” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. “Ate olubuto ndusiba ntya nga ndutuusizza ku kuzaala?” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wo.
10 Reioyce ye with Ierusalem, and be gladde with her, all ye that loue her: reioyce for ioy with her, all ye that mourne for her,
“Mujagulize wamu ne Yerusaalemi era mumusanyukireko mwenna abamwagala, mujaganye nnyo mmwe mwenna abamukaabira.
11 That ye may sucke and be satisfied with the brestes of her consolation: that ye may milke out and be delited with ye brightnes of her glorie.
Kubanga muliyonka munywe n’essanyu mukkutire ddala ku kitiibwa kye ekingi.”
12 For thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will extend peace ouer her like a flood, and the glorie of the Gentiles like a flowing streame: then shall ye sucke, ye shall be borne vpon her sides, and be ioyfull vpon her knees.
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Laba mbaleetera obugagga obutaliiko kkomo, obugagga bw’amawanga bube gye muli ng’omugga ogwanjaala. Muliyonkako, musitulibwe mu mbiriizi era bababuusizebuusize ku mubiri gwe.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you, and ye shall be comforted in Ierusalem.
Ng’omwana bw’asanyusibwa nnyina, bwe ntyo bwe ndikuzzaamu amaanyi mu Yerusaalemi.”
14 And when ye see this, your hearts shall reioyce, and your bones shall flourish like an herbe: and the hand of the Lord shall be knowen among his seruants, and his indignation against his enemies.
Kino bw’olikiraba omutima gwo gulisanyuka, era kirikufuula w’amaanyi omulamu obulungi ng’omuddo ogukuze. Olwo kiryoke kimanyibwe nti omukono gwa Mukama Katonda guyamba abaweereza be, ate obusungu bwe ne bulagibwa abalabe be.
15 For beholde, the Lord will come with fire, and his charets like a whirlewinde, that he may recompence his anger with wrath, and his indignation with the flame of fire.
“Kubanga laba Mukama Katonda alijjira mu muliro, era n’amagaali ge ag’embalaasi galiba ng’empewo ey’omuyaga. Alijja n’obusungu bwe n’ekiruyi era alibanenya n’ennimi ez’omuliro.
16 For the Lord will iudge with fire, and with his sworde all flesh, and the slaine of the Lord shall be many.
Omuliro n’ekitala Mukama Katonda by’alibonerezesa abantu bonna, n’abo abalisaanyizibwawo baliba bangi.
17 They that sanctifie themselues, and purifie themselues in the gardens behinde one tree in the middes eating swines flesh, and such abomination, euen the mouse, shall be consumed together, sayeth the Lord.
“Abo abeetukuza balyoke balage mu nnimiro entukuvu okukola eby’emizizo, abatambulira mu nnyiriri nga bwe balya embizzi, omusonso n’emmere ey’omuzizo, bonna balizikirira wamu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
18 For I will visite their workes, and their imaginations: for it shall come that I will gather all nations, and tongues, and they shall come, and see my glorie.
“Olw’ebyo bye bakola ne bye balowooza, nnaatera okujja nkuŋŋaanye amawanga gonna n’ennimi zonna, era balijja balabe ekitiibwa kyange.
19 And I will set a signe among them, and will send those that escape of them, vnto the nations of Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, and to them that drawe the bowe, to Tubal and Tauan, yles afarre off, that haue not heard my fame, neither haue seene my glorie, and they shall declare my glorie among the Gentiles.
“Nditeeka akabonero mu bo. Ndiwonyaako abamu mbasindike mu mawanga, e Talusiisi, e Puuli, n’e Luudi, abaleega omutego, eri Tubali ne Yavani, mu bizinga eby’ewala, abatawuliranga ttutumu lyange, wadde okulaba ekitiibwa kyange.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering vnto the Lord out of all nations, vpon horses, and in charets, and in horse litters, and vpon mules, and swift beastes, to Ierusalem mine holy Mountaine, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel, offer in a cleane vessell in the House of the Lord.
Balikomyawo baganda bammwe bonna okuva mu mawanga nga ekirabo gye ndi. Balibaleetera ku mbalaasi, ne mu magaali ge mbalaasi n’ebigaali ne ku nnyumbu n’eŋŋamira ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu nga Isirayiri bwe baleeta ebiweebwayo ebirongoofu mu nnyumba ya Mukama Katonda.
21 And I will take of them for Priestes, and for Leuites, saith the Lord.
Era ndifuula abamu ku bo okubeera bakabona n’abaleevi,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
22 For as the newe heauens, and the newe earth which I will make, shall remaine before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seede and your name continue.
“Kubanga nga eggulu eppya n’ensi empya, bye ndikola bwe biribeerawo olw’amaanyi gange, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, bwe lityo ezzadde lyammwe n’erinnya lyammwe bwe birisigala.
23 And from moneth to moneth, and from Sabbath to Sabbath shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.
Okuva ku mwezi okutuuka ku mwezi, n’okuva ku ssabbiiti okutuuka ku ssabbiiti, bonna abalina omubiri banajjanga okusinziza mu maaso gange,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
24 And they shall goe forth, and looke vpon the carkases of the men that haue transgressed against me: for their worme shall not dye, neither shall their fire be quenched, and they shalbe an abhorring vnto all flesh.
“Kale bwe baliba bafuluma, baliraba emirambo gy’abasajja abanneewaggulako; kubanga envunyu zaabwe tezirifa, so n’omuliro gwabwe tegulizikizibwa; era baliba kyennyinnyalwa eri abantu bonna.”
