< Isaiah 52 >
1 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion, Put on the garments of thy beauty, Jerusalem — the Holy City; For enter no more into thee again, Do the uncircumcised and unclean.
Zuukuka, zuukuka, oyambale amaanyi go, ggwe Sayuuni. Ggwe Yerusaalemi ekibuga ekitukuvu, teekako ebyambalo byo ebitemagana. Kubanga okuva leero mu miryango gyo temukyayingira mu atali mukomole n’atali mulongoofu.
2 Shake thyself from dust, arise, sit, O Jerusalem, Bands of thy neck have loosed themselves, O captive, daughter of Zion.
Weekunkumuleko enfuufu, yimuka otuule ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka ggwe Yerusaalemi. Weesumulule enjegere mu bulago bwo, ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni eyanyagibwa.
3 For thus said Jehovah: 'For nought ye have been sold, And not by money are ye redeemed.'
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Mwatundibwa bwereere era mujja kununulibwa awatali kusasula nsimbi.”
4 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'To Egypt My people went down at first to sojourn there, And Asshur — for nought he hath oppressed it.
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna nti, “Omulundi ogwasooka abantu bange baagenda e Misiri okusengayo, oluvannyuma, Omwasuli n’abajooga.
5 And now, what — to Me here, An affirmation of Jehovah, That taken is My people for nought? Its rulers cause howling, — an affirmation of Jehovah, And continually all the day My name is despised.
“Kaakano kiki ate kye ndaba wano? “Kubanga abantu bange baatwalirwa bwereere era abo ababafuga babasekerera,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Erinnya lyange livvoolebwa olunaku lwonna.
6 Therefore doth My people know My name, Therefore, in that day, Surely I [am] He who is speaking, behold Me.'
Mu biseera ebijja abantu bange balimmanya. Olunaku lujja lwe balitegeera nga nze nakyogera. Weewaawo, Nze.”
7 How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, 'Reigned hath thy God.'
Nga birungi ku nsozi ebigere by’oyo aleeta amawulire amalungi, alangirira emirembe, aleeta ebigambo ebirungi, alangirira obulokozi, agamba Sayuuni nti, “Katonda wo afuga.”
8 The voice of thy watchmen! They have lifted up the voice, together they cry aloud, Because eye to eye they see, in Jehovah's turning back [to] Zion.
Wuliriza! Amaloboozi g’abakuumi bo gawulikika, gayimusiddwa. Bonna awamu bajaguza olw’essanyu. Kubanga okudda kwa Mukama mu Sayuuni balikulaba n’amaaso gaabwe.
9 Break forth, sing together, O wastes of Jerusalem, For Jehovah hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Mubaguke okuyimba ennyimba ez’essanyu mwenna, mmwe ebifo bya Yerusaalemi ebyazika. Kubanga Mukama asanyusizza abantu be, anunudde Yerusaalemi.
10 Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.
Mukama aliraga omukono gwe omutukuvu eri amawanga gonna, bagulabe. Enkomerero z’ensi zonna ziriraba obulokozi bwa Katonda waffe.
11 Turn aside, turn aside, go out thence, The unclean touch not, go out from her midst, Be ye pure, who are bearing the weapons of Jehovah.
Mugende, mugende muveewo awo. Temukwata ku kintu kyonna kitali kirongoofu. Mukifulumemu mubeere balongoofu mmwe abasitula ebyombo bya Mukama.
12 For not in haste do ye go out, Yea, with flight ye go not on, For going before you [is] Jehovah, And gathering you [is] the God of Israel!
Naye temulivaamu nga mwanguyiriza so temuligenda nga mudduka; kubanga Mukama alibakulembera abasookeyo; Katonda wa Isirayiri y’alibakuuma.
13 Lo, My servant doth act wisely, He is high, and hath been lifted up, And hath been very high.
Laba, omuweereza wange by’akola alibikozesa magezi, aliyimusibwa asitulibwe, era assibwemu nnyo ekitiibwa.
14 As astonished at thee have been many, (So marred by man his appearance, And his form by sons of men.)
Ng’abaamulaba ne bennyamira bwe baali abangi, endabika ye ng’eyonoonese nnyo nga takyafaananika, era ng’eyonoonese evudde ku y’abantu,
15 So doth he sprinkle many nations. Concerning him kings shut their mouth, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!
bw’atyo bw’anawuniikiriza amawanga mangi; bakabaka balibunira ku lulwe; kubanga ekyo ekitababulirwanga balikiraba, era ekyo kye batawulirangako, balikitegeera.
