Isaiah 59
1 Here! not it is [too] short [the] hand of Yahweh for saving and not it is [too] heavy ear his for hearing.
Mulabe, omukono gwa Mukama teguyimpawadde n’okuyinza ne gutayinza kulokola, era si muzibe wa matu nti tawulira.
2 For except iniquities your they have been separating between you and between God your and sins your they have hidden face from you from hearing.
Naye obutali butuukirivu bwammwe bwe bubaawudde ku Katonda wammwe. Ebibi byammwe bye bimukwesezza amaaso ge, n’atawulira.
3 For hands your they are defiled with blood and fingers your with iniquity lips your they have spoken falsehood tongue your injustice it mutters.
Kubanga emikono gyammwe gibunye omusaayi n’engalo zammwe zibunye obutali butuukirivu, emimwa gyammwe gyogedde eby’obulimba, n’ennimi zammwe z’ogedde eby’ekko.
4 There not [is one who] calls in righteousness and there not [is one who] enters into judgment in truth [they are] trusting on emptiness and they speak worthlessness they conceive mischief and they bring forth wickedness.
Tewali awaaba bya nsonga so tewali awoza mu mazima; Beesiga ensonga ezitaliimu, ne boogera eby’obulimba, ne baleeta emitawaana ne bazaala obulabe.
5 Eggs of a viper they have hatched and webs of a spider they weave the [one who] eats any of eggs their he will die and the pressed [egg] it is hatched a snake.
Baalula amagi ag’essalambwa ne balanga ewuzi za nnabbubi: alya ku magi gaabwe afa n’eryo eriba lyatise livaamu mbalasaasa.
6 Webs their not they will become clothing and not people will cover themselves with products their products their [are] products of wickedness and deed[s] of violence [is] in hands their.
Naye enkwe zaabwe ze bakola tezibayamba, ziri ng’engoye enkole mu wuzi za nnabbubi! Tebasobola kuzeebikka. Emirimu gyabwe mirimu gya kwonoona, n’ebikolwa byabwe bulabe.
7 Feet their to evil they run and they may hasten to shed blood innocent thoughts their [are] thoughts of wickedness devastation and destruction [are] on highways their.
Ebigere byabwe byanguyirira bikole ebibi era bapapirira bayiwe omusaayi ogutalina musango. Ebirowoozo byabwe birowoozo bya bubi, n’okuzika n’okuzikiriza bye biba buli we bagenda.
8 A way of peace not they know and there not [is] justice on tracks their paths their they have made crooked themselves any [one who] treads on it not he knows peace.
Ekkubo ery’emirembe tebalimanyi wadde okukozesa obwenkanya mu makubo gaabwe. Beekubidde amakubo, tewali n’omu agayitamu afuna emirembe.
9 There-fore it is far justice from us and not it reaches us righteousness we wait eagerly for the light and there! darkness for gleams of light in gloom we walk.
Amazima gatuli wala, n’obutuukirivu tetubufunye. Tunoonyezza omusana naye ekizikiza kitwesibyeko, we tusuubira obutangaavu, tutambulidde mu bisiikirize byereere.
10 We grope for like blind [people] a wall and like there not [are] eyes we grope we have stumbled at noon like the twilight among the fat people like dead [people].
Tuwammantawammanta bbugwe ng’abazibe, ne tukwatakwata ng’abatalina maaso; twesittala mu ttuntu ng’ekiro mu abo abalina amaanyi ne tuba ng’abafu.
11 We growl like bears all of us and like doves certainly we moan we wait eagerly for justice and there not for deliverance it is far from us.
Ffenna tuwuluguma ng’eddubu ne tusinda nga bukaamukuukulu. Tusuubira okuggyibwa mu kunyigirizibwa naye nga bwereere, n’obulokozi butuliwala.
12 For they are many transgressions our before you and sins our it has testified against us that transgressions our [are] with us and iniquities our we know them.
Kubanga ebisobyo byaffe bingi mu maaso go era ebibi byaffe bitulumiriza, kubanga ebisobyo byaffe biri naffe, era tumanyi obutali butuukirivu bwaffe;
13 We have transgressed and we have denied Yahweh and we have turned back from after God our we have spoken oppression and rebellion we have conceived and we have uttered from [the] heart words of falsehood.
obujeemu n’enkwe eri Mukama era n’okulekeraawo okugoberera Katonda waffe. Okutegeka obwediimo n’okunyigiriza, okwogera eby’obulimba n’emitima gyaffe bye girowoozezza.
14 And it has been driven back backwards justice and righteousness from a distance it stands for it has stumbled in the open place truth and honesty not it is able to enter.
Obwenkanya buddiridde n’obutuukirivu ne bubeera wala. Amazima geesitalidde mu luguudo, n’obwesimbu tebuyinza kuyingira.
15 And it was truth lacking and [one who] turned aside from evil [was] plundered and he saw Yahweh and it was displeasing in view his that there not [was] justice.
Tewali w’oyinza kusanga mazima, era oyo ava ku kibi asuulibwa. Mukama yakiraba n’atasanyuka kubanga tewaali bwenkanya.
16 And he saw that there not [was] anyone and he was appalled that there not [was one who] interposed and it gave victory to him own arm his and own righteousness his it it sustained him.
N’alaba nga tewali muntu, ne yennyamira nti tewali muntu ayinza kudduukirira. Noolwekyo kwe kusalawo okukozesa omukono gwe ye kennyini okuleeta obulokozi n’obutuukirivu bwe okuwangula.
17 And he put on righteousness like body armor and a helmet of salvation on head his and he put on garments of vengeance clothing and he wrapped himself like robe zeal.
Yayambala obutuukirivu bwe ng’eky’omu kifuba, era n’enkuufiira ey’obulokozi ku mutwe gwe; n’ateekako ebyambalo by’okuwoolera eggwanga era n’ayambala obunyiikivu ng’omunagiro.
18 As on deeds as on he will repay rage to opponents his recompense to enemies his to the islands recompense he will repay.
Ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri bwalisasula ekiruyi ku balabe be, n’abamukyawa alibawa empeera yaabwe, n’abo abali ewala mu bizinga abasasule.
19 And they may fear from [the] setting place [the] name of Yahweh and from [the] rising of [the] sun glory his for he will come like river narrow [which] [the] wind of Yahweh it will drive it.
Noolwekyo balitya erinnya lya Mukama okuva ebugwanjuba, n’ekitiibwa kye okuva ebuvanjuba, kubanga alijja ng’omugga ogukulukuta n’amaanyi, omukka gwa Mukama gwe gutwala.
20 And he will come to Zion a redeemer and to [those who] repent of transgression in Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh.
“Era Omununuzi alijja mu Sayuuni, eri abo abeenenya ebibi byabwe mu Yakobo,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
21 And I this [is] covenant my with them he says Yahweh spirit my which [is] on you and words my which I have put in mouth your not they will depart from mouth your and from [the] mouth of offspring your and from [the] mouth of [the] offspring of offspring your he says Yahweh from now and until perpetuity.
“Era, eno y’endagaano yange gye nkola nabo,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Omwoyo wange ali ku ggwe era n’ebigambo byange bye ntadde mu kamwa ko, tebiivenga mu kamwa ko, oba mu kamwa k’abaana bo, wadde mu kamwa k’abaana b’abaana bo, okuva kaakano okutuusa emirembe n’emirembe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
