Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Zuukuka, zuukuka, oyambale amaanyi go, ggwe Sayuuni. Ggwe Yerusaalemi ekibuga ekitukuvu, teekako ebyambalo byo ebitemagana. Kubanga okuva leero mu miryango gyo temukyayingira mu atali mukomole n’atali mulongoofu.
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
Weekunkumuleko enfuufu, yimuka otuule ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka ggwe Yerusaalemi. Weesumulule enjegere mu bulago bwo, ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni eyanyagibwa.
3 For thus saith Yhwh, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Mwatundibwa bwereere era mujja kununulibwa awatali kusasula nsimbi.”
4 For thus saith the Lord Yhwh, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna nti, “Omulundi ogwasooka abantu bange baagenda e Misiri okusengayo, oluvannyuma, Omwasuli n’abajooga.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith Yhwh, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith Yhwh; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
“Kaakano kiki ate kye ndaba wano? “Kubanga abantu bange baatwalirwa bwereere era abo ababafuga babasekerera,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Erinnya lyange livvoolebwa olunaku lwonna.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
Mu biseera ebijja abantu bange balimmanya. Olunaku lujja lwe balitegeera nga nze nakyogera. Weewaawo, Nze.”
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Nga birungi ku nsozi ebigere by’oyo aleeta amawulire amalungi, alangirira emirembe, aleeta ebigambo ebirungi, alangirira obulokozi, agamba Sayuuni nti, “Katonda wo afuga.”
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when Yhwh shall bring again Zion.
Wuliriza! Amaloboozi g’abakuumi bo gawulikika, gayimusiddwa. Bonna awamu bajaguza olw’essanyu. Kubanga okudda kwa Mukama mu Sayuuni balikulaba n’amaaso gaabwe.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for Yhwh hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Mubaguke okuyimba ennyimba ez’essanyu mwenna, mmwe ebifo bya Yerusaalemi ebyazika. Kubanga Mukama asanyusizza abantu be, anunudde Yerusaalemi.
10 Yhwh hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Mukama aliraga omukono gwe omutukuvu eri amawanga gonna, bagulabe. Enkomerero z’ensi zonna ziriraba obulokozi bwa Katonda waffe.
11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Yhwh.
Mugende, mugende muveewo awo. Temukwata ku kintu kyonna kitali kirongoofu. Mukifulumemu mubeere balongoofu mmwe abasitula ebyombo bya Mukama.
12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for Yhwh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
Naye temulivaamu nga mwanguyiriza so temuligenda nga mudduka; kubanga Mukama alibakulembera abasookeyo; Katonda wa Isirayiri y’alibakuuma.
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
Laba, omuweereza wange by’akola alibikozesa magezi, aliyimusibwa asitulibwe, era assibwemu nnyo ekitiibwa.
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Ng’abaamulaba ne bennyamira bwe baali abangi, endabika ye ng’eyonoonese nnyo nga takyafaananika, era ng’eyonoonese evudde ku y’abantu,
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
bw’atyo bw’anawuniikiriza amawanga mangi; bakabaka balibunira ku lulwe; kubanga ekyo ekitababulirwanga balikiraba, era ekyo kye batawulirangako, balikitegeera.
