< Isaiah 62 >

1 For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
Ku lwa Sayuuni ssiisirike, era ku lwa Yerusaalemi ssiiwummule, okutuusa nga obutuukirivu bwe butemagana ng’emmambya esala, obulokozi bwe ng’ettaala eyaka.
2 The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of YHWH shall name.
Amawanga galiraba obutuukirivu bwo, era ne bakabaka bonna baliraba ekitiibwa kyo. Oliyitibwa erinnya epya akamwa ka Mukama lye kalikuwa.
3 You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Olibeera ngule etemagana mu mikono gya Mukama, enkuufiira y’obwakabaka mu mukono gwa Katonda wo.
4 And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for YHWH delights in you, and your land shall be married.
Ataliddayo kuyitibwa nti, Eyalekebwa, ensi yo teriddamu kuyitibwa nti, Yazika. Naye oliyitibwa nti, Gwe nsanyukira, n’ensi yo eyitibwe nti, Eyafumbirwa. Kubanga Mukama akusanyukira era ensi yo eribeera ng’omukazi afumbiddwa.
5 For just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
Kubanga ng’omuvubuka bwawasa omuwala omuto bw’atyo eyakutonda bwalikulabirira. Nga omugole omusajja bwasanyukira oyo gw’awasizza, bw’atyo Katonda bwalikusanyukira.
6 I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on YHWH, take no rest,
Ntadde abakuumi ku bbugwe wo, ggwe Yerusaalemi abataasirike emisana n’ekiro. Mmwe abakoowoola Mukama temuwummula.
7 and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Era temumuganya kuwummula okutuusa nga azimbye Yerusaalemi era ng’agifudde ettendo mu nsi.
8 YHWH has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
Mukama yalayira n’omukono gwe ogwa ddyo era n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi: “Siriddayo nate kuwaayo ŋŋaano yo kubeera mmere y’abalabe bo, era bannaggwanga tebaddeyo kunywa nvinnyo yo gy’otawaanidde.
9 but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise YHWH; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
Naye abo abagikungula be baligirya ne batendereza Mukama, n’abo abanoga emizabbibu be baliginywera mu mpya z’omu watukuvu wange.”
10 Go through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples.
Muyiteemu, muyite mu miryango mugende! Muzimbe oluguudo, mulugyemu amayinja. Muyimusize amawanga ebbendera.
11 Look, YHWH has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'"
Laba Mukama alangiridde eyo yonna ensi gy’ekoma, nti, “Gamba omuwala wa Sayuuni nti, ‘Laba omulokozi wo ajja, Laba aleeta n’ebirabo bingi, n’abantu b’anunudde bamukulembedde.’”
12 They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of YHWH: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Era baliyitibwa Abantu Abatukuvu, Abanunule ba Mukama, ne Yerusaalemi kiyitibwe, Ekibuga Mukama ky’ayagala, Ekibuga Ekitakyali ttayo.
