< Isaiah 50 >

1 Thus said YHWH: “Where [is] this—the bill of your mother’s divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Behold, you have been sold for your iniquities, And for your transgressions Your mother has been sent away.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Ebbaluwa egoba nnyammwe, kwe namugobera eri ludda wa? Oba nabatunda eri ani? Mwatundibwa lwa bikolwa byammwe ebibi; olw’obutali butuukirivu bwammwe nnyammwe kyeyava agobwa.
2 Why have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Has My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not power in Me to deliver? Behold, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stink, for there is no water, And die with thirst.
Lwaki bwe najja tewaali muntu n’omu? Bwe nakoowoola lwaki tewaali muntu n’omu annyanukula? Omukono gwange gwali mumpi nnyo okukununula? Mbuliddwa amaanyi agakununula? Laba nnyinza okwogera obwogezi ennyanja n’ekalira, emigga ne ngifuula eddungu, ebyennyanja byamu ne bifa ennyonta, ne bivunda olw’okubulwa amazzi.
3 I clothe the heavens [with] blackness, And I make their covering sackcloth.”
Nyambaza eggulu, n’ekizikiza ne nkiwa ebibukutu okulibikka.”
4 Lord YHWH has given to Me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary [by] a word, He awakens [Me] morning by morning, He awakens [My] ear to hear as taught ones.
Mukama Ayinzabyonna ampadde olulimi oluyigirizibbwa, mmanye ebigambo ebigumya abo abakooye. Anzukusa buli nkya, buli nkya anzukusa okuwulira by’anjigiriza.
5 Lord YHWH opened My ear, And I did not rebel—I did not move backward.
Mukama Ayinzabyonna azibudde okutu kwange ne siba mujeemu. Sizzeeyo mabega.
6 I have given My back to those striking, And My cheeks to those plucking out, I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
N’awaayo omugongo gwange eri abankuba, n’amatama gange eri abo abankunyuulako ekirevu. Saakweka maaso gange eri abo abansekerera n’eri abo abanfujjira amalusu.
7 And Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set My face as a flint, And I know that I am not ashamed.
Kubanga Mukama Ayinzabyonna anyamba kyennaava siswazibwa. Noolwekyo kyenvudde n’egumya era mmanyi nti siriswazibwa.
8 Near [is] He who is justifying Me, Who contends with Me? We stand together, who [is] My opponent? Let him come near to Me.
Kubanga oyo ampolereza ali kumpi. Ani alinnumiriza omusango? Twolekagane obwenyi. Ani annumiriza? Ajje annumbe.
9 Behold, Lord YHWH gives help to Me, Who [is] he that declares Me wicked? Behold, all of them wear out as a garment, A moth eats them.
Mukama Ayinzabyonna y’anyamba. Ani alinsalira omusango? Bonna balikaddiwa bayulike ng’ekyambalo; ennyenje ziribalya.
10 “Who [is] among you, fearing YHWH, Listening to the voice of His Servant, That has walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the Name of YHWH, And lean on his God.
Ani ku mmwe atya Mukama, agondera ekigambo ky’omuweereza we? Oyo atambulira mu kizikiza, atalina kitangaala yeesige erinnya lya Mukama era yeesigame ku Katonda we.
11 Behold, all you kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk in the light of your fire, And in the sparks you have caused to burn, This has been to you from My hand, You lie down in grief!”
Naye mmwe mwenna abakoleeza omuliro, ne mwekoleereza ettaala z’omuliro, mutambulire mu kitangaala ky’omuliro gwammwe, ne mu kitangaala kye ttaala ze mukoleezeza. Naye kino kye munaafuna okuva mu mukono gwange; muligalamira mu nnaku.
