Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, 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 forsook not the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous ordinances, they delight to draw near unto 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 Wherefore have we fasted, [say they], and thou seest not? [wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find [your own] pleasure, and exact all your labours.
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 Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye fast not 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? wilt thou 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 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye 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 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine 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 shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward.
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 shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee 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 thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thine 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 shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
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 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt 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 thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, [and] the holy of the LORD honourable; and shalt honour it, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine 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 shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth; and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath 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.
