Isaiah 65
1 “I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.
Mukama n’alyoka agamba nti, “Nze nnali mwetegefu okweyoleka eri abo abaali tebannoonya. Neeraga abo abaali tebannoonya. Eri eggwanga eryali litakoowoola linnya lyange nneyoleka gye bali ng’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Ndi wano, Ndi wano.’
2 I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
Nagolola emikono gyange olunaku lwonna okutuusa obudde okuziba eri abantu abeewagguzze, abatambulira mu makubo amabi abagoberera entegeka ezaabwe ku bwabwe;
3 a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;
abantu bulijjo abansomooza mu maaso gange gennyini nga bawaayo ebiweebwayo mu nnimiro ne bookera n’ebiweebwayo ku byoto eby’amatoffaali;
4 who sit among the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
abatuula mu malaalo ne bamalako ekiro kyonna mu bifo ebyekusifu, abalya ennyama y’embizzi, era n’amaseffuliya gaabwe gajjudde ennyama etali nnongoofu.
5 who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.
Bagamba nti, ‘Beera wala, tojja kumpi nange, kubanga ndi mutuukirivu nnyo ggwe okunsaanira!’ Abantu bwe batyo mukka mu nnyindo zange, omuliro ogwaka olunaku lwonna.
6 “Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom
“Laba kiwandiikiddwa mu maaso gange. Sijja kusirika naye nzija kusasula mu bujjuvu, nzija kubasasula bibatuukireko ddala;
7 your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says Yahweh, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
olw’ebibi byammwe byonna era n’olw’ebibi bya bakitammwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. “Kubanga baayokera ebiweebwayo byabwe ku lusozi era ne bannyoomera ku busozi, ndibalira mu mikono gyabwe empeera yennyini enzijuvu ey’ebikolwa byabwe eby’edda.”
8 Yahweh says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama: “Ng’omubisi bwe gusangibwa mu kirimba ky’emizabbibu abantu ne bagamba nti, ‘Togwonoona, gukyalimu akalungi,’ bwe ntyo bwe ndikibakolera olw’obulungi bw’abaweereza bange. Sijja kubasaanyaawo bonna.
9 I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell there.
Ndiggya ezzadde okuva mu Yakobo era ne mu Yuda abo abalitwala ensozi zange; abantu bange abalonde balizigabana, era eyo abaweereza bange gye balibeera.
10 Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
Awo Saloni kiribeera ddundiro lya bisibo, era n’ekiwonvu kya Akoli kifo kya nte we zigalamira olw’abantu bange abannoonya.
11 “But you who forsake Yahweh, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
“Naye mmwe abava ku Mukama ne mwerabira olusozi lwange olutukuvu ne muteekerateekera emmeeza katonda wammwe, Mukisa, ne mujuliza katonda wammwe, Kusalawo, ebikopo eby’envinnyo,
12 I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
ndibawaayo eri ekitala era mwenna mukutaamirire musalibwe, kubanga nabayita naye temwayitaba, nayogera naye temwampuliriza. Mwakola ebitasaana era ne musalawo okukola ebitansanyusa.”
13 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
Noolwekyo kino Mukama Ayinzabyonna ky’agamba: “Abaweereza bange bajja kulya, naye mmwe mujja kulumwa enjala, abaweereza bange bajja kunywa, naye mmwe mulumwe ennyonta; abaweereza bange bajja kujaguza, naye mmwe mukwatibwe ensonyi.
14 Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit.
Abaweereza bange bajja kuyimba olw’essanyu erinaaba mu mitima gyabwe, naye mmwe muli ba kukaaba olw’okulumwa okunaabeera mu mitima gyammwe era mukaabe olw’okulumwa emyoyo.
15 You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord Yahweh will kill you. He will call his servants by another name,
Ekikolimo kiryoke kibagwire, Nze Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye mbatte amannya gammwe geerabirwe, naye mpe amannya amaggya abo abaŋŋondera.
16 so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
Kiryoke kibeere nti buli muntu ananoonya okufuna omukisa anaagunoonya kuva eri Katonda Ow’amazima buli anaalayiranga mu ggwanga anaalayiranga Katonda ow’amazima. Kubanga emitawaana egyayita gya kwerabirwa gikwekebwe okuva mu maaso gange.
17 “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.
“Laba nditonda eggulu eriggya n’ensi empya. Ebintu eby’edda tebijja kujjukirwa wadde okulowoozebwako mu mutima.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, and her people a joy.
Naye musanyukire ekyo kye ntonda mujaguze emirembe n’emirembe, kubanga nditonda Yerusaalemi okuba essanyu n’abantu baamu okuba okujaguza.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
Ndijaguza olwa Yerusaalemi era nsanyukire abantu bange; amaloboozi ag’okukaaba tegaliddayo kuwulirwamu.
20 “No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
“Teriddayo kuba mu kyo mwana muwere anaaberawo ennaku obunaku, oba omusajja omukulu ataamalengayo myaka gye; oyo alifiira ku myaka ekikumi alitwalibwa ng’omuvubuka obuvubuka. Oyo atalituusa kikumi abalibwe ng’eyakolimirwa.
21 They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Balizimba ennyumba bazisulemu, balisimba emizabbibu balye ebibala byagyo.
22 They will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy the work of their hands.
Tebalizimba nnyumba ate omulala agisulemu, tebalisimba ate omulala abirye. Kubanga emyaka gy’emiti nga bwe giba bwe gityo bwe giribeera emyaka gy’abantu bange. Abalonde bange balirwawo nga bawoomerwa emirimu gy’emikono gyabwe.
23 They will not labor in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of Yahweh’s blessed and their descendants with them.
Tebalikolera bwereere oba okuzaala abaana ab’okugwa mu katyabaga, kubanga balibeera abantu abaweebwa Mukama Katonda omukisa, bo awamu n’ab’enda yaabwe.
24 It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Nga tebanakoowoola ndibaddamu, nga bakyayogera bati mbaddemu.
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.
Omusege n’omwana gw’endiga biriire wamu, era empologoma erye omuddo ng’ennume, era ettaka libeere emmere y’omusota. Tewaliba kulumya wadde kuzikiriza ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
