Isaiah 55
1 "Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters. Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
“Kale mujje, mmwe mwenna abalumwa ennyonta, mujje eri amazzi. Mujje mmwe abatalina ssente zigula, mujje muweebwe bye mwagala, envinnyo oba amata ebitali bya kugula ebitaliiko miwendo gya kusasula.
2 Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Lwaki musaasaanya ensimbi zammwe ku ebyo ebitali bya kulya muteganira ebyo ebitakkusa? Mumpulirize, mumpulirize n’obwegendereza mulye ebyo ebirungi, emmeeme yammwe eneesanyuka nnyo.
3 Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful kindnesses of David.
Mumpulirize mujje gye ndi. Muwulirize mubeere balamu; nnaabakolera endagaano ey’olubeerera, era egyo gy’emikisa gyange n’okwagala bye nasuubiza Dawudi.
4 Look, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
Laba namufuula omujulirwa eri abantu, omukulembeze era omugabe w’abantu.
5 Look, you shall call a nation that you do not know; and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you."
Laba oliyita amawanga g’otomanyi, era amawanga g’otomanyi galyanguwa okujja gy’oli. Kiribaawo olw’obuyinza bwa Mukama Katonda wo era Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri kubanga akugulumizza.”
6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:
Munoonye Mukama nga bw’akyayinzika okulabika, mumukaabirire nga bw’akyali okumpi.
7 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Omubi aleke ekkubo lye, n’atali mutuukirivu aleke ebirowoozo bye. Leka adde eri Mukama naye anaamusaasira, adde eri Katonda waffe kubanga anaamusonyiyira ddala.
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," says the LORD.
“Kubanga ebirowoozo byange si birowoozo byammwe era n’amakubo gammwe si ge makubo gange,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
“Ng’eggulu bwe liri waggulu okukira n’ensi, bwe gatyo amakubo gange bwe gali ewala ennyo n’amakubo gammwe, n’ebirowoozo byange bwe biri eri ebirowoozo byammwe.
10 For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn't return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
Era ng’enkuba bwetonnya n’omuzira ne gugwa okuva mu ggulu n’ebitaddayo, wabula ne bifukirira ettaka, ebirime ne bikula, ne bimerusa ensigo z’omusizi, era ne biwa omuli emmere,
11 so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
bwe kityo ekigambo kyange ekiva mu kamwa kange bwe kiri; tekiriddayo bwereere, naye kirikola ekyo kye njagala era kirituukiriza ekyo kye nakituma.
12 For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.
Kubanga mulifuluma n’essanyu ne mugenda mirembe, ensozi n’obusozi nabyo ne bitandika okuyimba nga bibalabye, n’emiti gyonna ne gitendereza n’essanyu.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
Mu kifo ky’omweramannyo mulimeramu olusambya, ne mu kifo ky’omutovu mulimeramu omumwanyi. Era kino kiribaawo erinnya lya Mukama limanyibwe era ako ke kaliba akabonero akataliggwaawo ak’emirembe n’emirembe.”
