Isaiah 56
1 Thus says YHWH, "Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Mukolenga obwenkanya era ebituufu, kubanga obulokozi bwange bunaatera okujja, n’obutuukirivu bwange bunatera okubikkulibwa.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
Alina omukisa omuntu akola ekyo, n’omwana w’omuntu akinyweererako. Akwata ssabbiiti obutagyonoona, n’akuuma omukono gwe obutakola kibi na kimu.”
3 Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to YHWH, speak, saying, "YHWH will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Look, I am a dry tree."
Era ne munnaggwanga eyeegatta ku Mukama tayogeranga nti, “Mukama, oboolyawo alinjawula ku bantu be,” so n’omulaawe okugamba nti, “Ndi muti mukalu.”
4 For thus says YHWH, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
Kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Eri abalaawe abakwata ssabbiiti zange ne basalawo okugoberera ebyo ebinsanyusa, ne bakuuma endagaano yange,
5 to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
amannya gaabwe galijjukirwa mu yeekaalu yange mu bisenge byamu, ng’ekijjukizo n’okusinga bwe mwandibadde n’abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala. Ndibawa erinnya eritaliggwaawo ery’emirembe n’emirembe.
6 Also the foreigners who join themselves to YHWH, to minister to him, and to love the name of YHWH, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant;
N’abo bannaggwanga abasalawo okwegatta ku Mukama, okumuweereza era n’okwagala erinnya lya Mukama era n’okubeera abaweereza be, abakwata ssabbiiti ne batagyonoona era ne banyweza endagaano yange,
7 even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."
bano ndibaleeta ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu era ne mbawa essanyu mu nnyumba yange ey’okusabiramu. Ebiweebwayo byabwe ebyokebwa ne ssaddaaka zaabwe birikkirizibwa ku kyoto kyange. Kubanga ennyumba yange eriyitibwa nnyumba ya kusabiramu eri amawanga gonna.”
8 YHWH, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered."
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna, akuŋŋaanya Abayisirayiri abaawaŋŋangusibwa nti, “Ndikuŋŋaanyaayo abantu abalala ng’oggyeko abantu bange aba Isirayiri be nkuŋŋaanyizza.”
9 All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
Mukama agamba amawanga amalala okujja ng’ensolo ez’omu nsiko, galye abantu be.
10 His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
Kubanga abakulembeze ba Isirayiri bazibe ba maaso, bonna tebalina magezi, bonna mbwa ezitasobola kuboggola, zibeera mu kuloota nakugalaamirira ezaagala okwebaka obwebasi.
11 Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
Embwa ezirina omululu omuyitirivu ezitakkuta. Basumba abatayinza kutegeera, bonna abakyamye mu makubo gaabwe; buli muntu ng’afa ku kwenoonyeza ky’anaalya.
12 "Come," say they, "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure."
Bagambagana nti, “Mujje, leka tukime omwenge tunywe tutamiire. N’olw’enkya lunaku ng’olwa leero, oba n’okusingawo.”
