Isaiah 42
1 Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom My soul delighteth; I have put My spirit upon him, he shall make the right to go forth to the nations.
Laba omuweereza wange gwe mpanirira, omulonde wange gwe nsanyukira ennyo. Ndimuwa Omwoyo wange era alireeta obwenkanya eri amawanga.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
Talireekaana wadde okuyimusa eddoboozi lye mu luguudo.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the dimly burning wick shall he not quench; he shall make the right to go forth according to the truth.
Talimenya lumuli lubetentefu oba okuzikiza olutambi olwaka empola ennyo; mu bwesigwa alireeta obwenkanya.
4 He shall not fail nor be crushed, till he have set the right in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his teaching.
Taliremererwa oba okuggwaamu essuubi okutuusa ng’aleesewo obutebenkevu ku nsi. N’ebizinga eby’ewala biririndirira amateeka ge.
5 Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth, He that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it, He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk 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 have called thee in righteousness, and have taken hold of thy hand, and kept thee, and set thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;
“Nze Mukama, nakuyita mu butuukirivu. Ndikukwata ku mukono era ndikukuuma. Ndikufuula okuba endagaano eri abantu, era omusana eri bannamawanga.
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness 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, that is My name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.
“Nze Mukama, eryo lye linnya lyange, n’ekitiibwa kyange sirikiwa mulala, newaakubadde ettendo lyange okukiwa bakatonda abalala.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Laba, ebyo bye nagamba nti biribaawo bituuse, kaakano mbabuulira ku bigenda okujja; mbibategeeza nga tebinnabaawo.”
10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and His praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, 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 wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela exult, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
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 give glory unto the LORD, and declare His praise in the islands.
Leka Mukama bamuwe ekitiibwa era balangirire ettendo lye mu bizinga.
13 The LORD will go forth as a mighty man, He will stir up jealousy like a man of war; He will cry, yea, He will shout aloud, He will prove Himself mighty 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 have long time held My peace, I have been still, and refrained Myself; now will I cry like a travailing woman, gasping and panting 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 mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
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 blind by a way that they knew not, in paths that they knew not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and rugged places plain. These things will I do, and I will not leave them undone.
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 back, greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images: 'Ye are our gods.'
Naye abo abeesiga bakatonda abalala, ababagamba nti, ‘Mwe bakatonda baffe,’ balikwasibwa ensonyi, era baligobebwa, mu buswavu obungi.”
18 Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
“Muwulire mmwe bakiggala, mutunule mmwe bamuzibe, mulabe.
19 Who is blind, but My servant? Or deaf, as My messenger that I send? Who is blind as he that is wholehearted, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
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, thou observest not; opening the ears, he heareth not.
Olabye ebintu bingi naye tobifuddeko, amatu go maggule naye tolina ky’owulira.”
21 The LORD was pleased, for His righteousness' sake, to make the teaching great and glorious.
Kyasanyusa Mukama olw’obulungi obw’obutuukirivu bwe okukuza amateeka ge n’okugassaamu ekitiibwa.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled, they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses; they are for a prey, and none delivereth, for a spoil, and none saith: '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 will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
Ani ku mmwe anaawuliriza kino, oba anaafaayo ennyo n’awuliriza mu biro ebigenda okujja?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD? He against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto His law.
Ani eyawaayo Yakobo okuba omunyago ne Isirayiri eri abanyazi? Teyali Mukama gwe twayonoona? Ekyo yakikola kubanga tebaagoberera makubo ge. Tebaagondera mateeka ge.
25 Therefore He poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not, and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Kyeyava abafukako obusungu bwe obubuubuuka n’obulumi bw’entalo. Beebungululwa ennimi z’omuliro naye tebaategeera. Gwabookya naye ne batakissaako mwoyo.
