< Isaiah 62 >

1 For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until its righteousness shall go forth as brightness, and its salvation as a lamp that burneth.
Ku lwa Sayuuni ssiisirike, era ku lwa Yerusaalemi ssiiwummule, okutuusa nga obutuukirivu bwe butemagana ng’emmambya esala, obulokozi bwe ng’ettaala eyaka.
2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
Amawanga galiraba obutuukirivu bwo, era ne bakabaka bonna baliraba ekitiibwa kyo. Oliyitibwa erinnya epya akamwa ka Mukama lye kalikuwa.
3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Olibeera ngule etemagana mu mikono gya Mukama, enkuufiira y’obwakabaka mu mukono gwa Katonda wo.
4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy 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 as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
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 upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
Ntadde abakuumi ku bbugwe wo, ggwe Yerusaalemi abataasirike emisana n’ekiro. Mmwe abakoowoola Mukama temuwummula.
7 And give him no rest, till he shall establish, and till he shall make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Era temumuganya kuwummula okutuusa nga azimbye Yerusaalemi era ng’agifudde ettendo mu nsi.
8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thy enemies; and the sons of the foreigner shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured:
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 they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
Naye abo abagikungula be baligirya ne batendereza Mukama, n’abo abanoga emizabbibu be baliginywera mu mpya z’omu watukuvu wange.”
10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
Muyiteemu, muyite mu miryango mugende! Muzimbe oluguudo, mulugyemu amayinja. Muyimusize amawanga ebbendera.
11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed to the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work 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 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt 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.
