< Isaiah 58 >

1 "Cry aloud, do not spare, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Kyogere mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, tokisirikira. Yimusa eddoboozi lyo ng’ekkondeere, obuulire abantu bange okusobya kwabwe, n’ennyumba ya Yakobo ebibi byabwe.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God.
Kubanga bannoonya buli lunaku era beegomba okumanya amakubo gange, nga bali ng’abantu abakola eby’obutuukirivu so si abaaleka edda ebiragiro bya Katonda waabwe. Bambuuza ensala ennuŋŋamu, ne basanyukira Katonda okusembera gye bali.
3 'Why have we fasted,' say they, 'and you do not see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge?' "Look, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.
Beebuuza nti, “Lwaki twasiiba, naye ggwe n’otokifaako? Lwaki twetoowaza naye ggwe n’otokissaako mwoyo?” Musooke mulabe, ennaku ze musiiba muba munoonya ssanyu lyammwe ku bwammwe, musigala munyigiriza abakozi bammwe.
4 Look, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you do not fast this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
Njagala mulabe. Kalungi ki akali mu kusiiba ng’ate mugenda kudda mu nnyombo, n’okukaayana n’okukuba bannammwe agakonde. Temuyinza kusiiba nga bwe mukola kaakano eddoboozi lyammwe ne liwulirwa mu ggulu.
5 Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Okusiiba kwe nalonda bwe kutyo bwe kufaanana? Olunaku omuntu lw’eyetoowalizaako? Kukutamya bukutamya mutwe, kuguweta nga lumuli n’okugalamira mu bibukutu mu vvu? Okwo kwe muyita okusiiba, olunaku olusiimibwa Mukama?
6 "Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
Kuno kwe kusiiba kwe nalonda; okusumulula enjegere ezinyigiriza abantu, n’okuggyawo emiguwa gy’ekikoligo, n’okuta abo abanyigirizibwa, n’okumenya buli kikoligo?
7 Isn't it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Si kugabira bayala ku mmere yo, n’okusembeza abaavu abatalina maka mu nnyumba yo; bw’olaba ali obwereere, n’omwambaza n’otekweka baŋŋanda zo abeetaaga obuyambi bwo?
8 Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
Awo omusana gwo gulyoke guveeyo gwake ng’emmambya esala, era okuwonyezebwa kwo kujje mangu; obutuukirivu bwo bukukulembere, era ekitiibwa kya Katonda kikuveeko emabega.
9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;
Olwo olikoowoola, Mukama n’akuddamu; olikaaba naye n’akuddamu nti, Ndi wano. “Bwe muliggyawo ekikoligo ekinyigiriza n’okusonga ennwe, n’okwogera n’ejjoogo;
10 and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the noonday;
bw’olyewaayo okuyamba abayala n’odduukirira abali mu buzibu, olwo omusana gwo gulyaka n’ova mu kizikiza, ekibadde ekiro kifuuke ettuntu.
11 and the LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
Era Mukama anaakuluŋŋamyanga ennaku zonna, n’akuwa ebintu ebirungi obulamu bwo bye bwetaaga, amagumba go aligongeramu amaanyi; era olibeera ng’ennimiro enfukirire obulungi, era ng’oluzzi olw’amazzi agatakalira.
12 Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
N’abantu bo balizimba ebifo eby’edda ebyazika era baddemu okuzimba emisingi egy’edda. Olyoke oyitibwe omuddaabiriza wa bbugwe eyamenyeka, omuddaabiriza wa mayumba ag’okusulamu.
13 "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honorable; and shall honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
“Bw’oneekuumanga obutayonoona Ssabbiiti, obutakola nga bw’oyagala ku lunaku lwange olutukuvu, bw’onooluyitanga olw’essanyu era olunaku lwa Mukama olw’ekitiibwa, singa muluwa ekitiibwa ne mutakwata makubo gammwe oba obutakola nga bwe mwagala oba okwogera ebigambo eby’okubalaata,
14 then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father:" for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
awo olifuna essanyu eriva eri Mukama era olitambulira mu bifo by’ensi ebya waggulu era ndikuwa obusika bwa kitaawo Yakobo” Akamwa ka Mukama ke kakyogedde.
