< Isaaya 24 >
1 Laba Mukama alifuula ensi amatongo, agimalirewo ddala, era azikirize n’obwenyi bwayo era asaasaanye n’abagibeeramu.
Khangela, uThixo uzabhidliza umhlaba utshabalale; uzawuchitha, ahlakaze abahlala kuwo.
2 Bwe kityo bwe kiriba, ekiriba ku kabona kye kiriba ne ku bantu, ekiriba ku mwami kye kiriba ne ku muweereza omusajja, ekiriba ku mugole we kye kiriba ne ku muweereza we omukazi, ekiriba ku atunda kye kiriba ne ku muguzi, ekiriba ku awola kye kiriba ne ku yeewola, ekiriba ku abanja kye kiriba ne ku abanjibwa.
Kuzafanana okuzenziwa kumphristi kuzenziwa lasebantwini, okuzenziwa enkosini kuzenziwa lasencekwini, okuzenziwa enkosikazini kuzenziwa lasencekukazini, okuzenziwa kumthengisi kuzenziwa lakumthengi, okuzenziwa kowebolekayo kuzenziwa lakumebolekisi, okuzenziwa kokweledayo kuzenziwa lakokweledisayo.
3 Okumalibwamu ensa, ensi erimalibwamu ddala ensa, n’okunyagibwa, erinyagibwa. Mukama Katonda y’akyogedde.
Umhlaba uzatshabalaliswa nya uphangwe uqedwe du. UThixo uselikhulumile ilizwi leli.
4 Ensi ekala n’eggwaamu obulamu, ensi ekala n’ewuubaala, abantu ab’ekitiibwa baggwaamu amaanyi.
Umhlaba uyoma ubune, umhlaba uyahodoza ubune, abaphakemeyo bomhlaba bayahodoza!
5 Ensi eyonooneddwa abantu baayo, bajeemedde amateeka, bamenye ebiragiro, ne bamenyawo n’endagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.
Umhlaba ungcoliswa ngabantu bawo. Kabayilalelanga imithetho, beqe imilayo bephula isivumelwano esingapheliyo.
6 Noolwekyo ekikolimo kimalawo ensi; n’abantu baayo bateekwa okusasula olw’omusango ogwabasinga. Abatuuze b’ensi bayidde, Era abatono be basigaddewo.
Ngakho-ke umhlaba uchithwa yisiqalekiso; abantu bawo kumele bahlupheke ngenxa yokona kwabo. Ngakho abantu abahlala emhlabeni bayatshiswa, njalo balutshwana kakhulu abaseleyo.
7 Wayini omusu aggwaamu, n’omuzabbibu gukala, ab’amasanyu bonna bakaaba olw’obulumi.
Iwayini elitsha liyaphela, amavini ayabuna; bonke abenza umsindo bejabula bayabubula.
8 Okujaguza kw’ebitaasa kusirise, n’oluyoogaano lw’abo ababeera mu masanyu lusirise, entongooli esanyusa esirise.
Ukukhala kwamagedla kuthulisiwe, umsindo wabajabulayo usuphelile, ichacho lentokozo selithule.
9 Tebakyanywa nvinnyo nga bwe bayimba, n’omwenge gukaayira abagunywa.
Kabasanathi iwayini behlabela, utshwala buyababa kubanathi babo.
10 Ekibuga ekyazikirizibwa kisigadde nga matongo, na buli mulyango oguyingira mu nnyumba guzibiddwa.
Idolobho elidilikileyo litshabalele; iminyango yezindlu zonke ivalekile.
11 Bakaabira envinnyo mu nguudo, n’essanyu lyonna liweddewo, n’okujaguza kwonna tekukyaliwo mu nsi.
Emigwaqweni bakhalela iwayini, yonke intokozo iba yikudana, ukujabula konke kuphelile emhlabeni.
12 Ekibuga kizikiridde wankaaki waakyo amenyeddwamenyeddwa.
Idolobho lisele selingamanxiwa, isango lalo libhidlizwe laba yizicucu.
13 Bwe kityo bwe kiriba ku nsi ne mu mawanga ng’omuzeyituuni bwe gunyeenyezebwa oba ng’ebinywa ebisigaddewo bwe bibeera oluvannyuma lw’okukungula kw’ezabbibu.
Kuzakuba njalo emhlabeni laphakathi kwezizwe, njengalapho isihlahla somʼoliva sinyikinywa, loba njengezithelo ezitholwa emva kokuvunwa kwamavini.
14 Bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe, baleekaana olw’essanyu, batendereza ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda okuva mu bugwanjuba.
Baphakamisa amazwi abo, bahlabele ngentokozo; bememezela ubukhosi bukaThixo bengasentshonalanga.
15 Noolwekyo abo abali mu buvanjuba mugulumize Mukama, mutendereze erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, mu bizinga eby’ennyanja.
Ngakho-ke dumisani uThixo empumalanga; phakamisani uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ezihlengeni zolwandle.
16 Tuwulira okuyimba okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi, “Ekitiibwa kibeere eri Omutuukirivu.” Naye ne njogera nti, “Nsanawo, nsanawo. Zinsaze. Ab’olukwe balya mu bannaabwe olukwe, Ab’enkwe bakozesa enkwe okulya mu bannaabwe olukwe.”
Sizwa ukuhlabelela okuvela emikhawulweni yomhlaba: “Udumo kalube koLungileyo.” Kodwa mina ngathi, “Ngiyacikizeka, ngiyacikizeka! Maye mina! Abakhohlisi bayaceba! Ngenkohliso abakhohlisi bayaceba!”
17 Entiisa n’obunnya n’omutego bibalindiridde, mmwe abantu b’ensi.
Ukwesaba, igodi lomjibila kulilindele, lina bantu basemhlabeni.
18 Buli alidduka eddoboozi ery’entiisa, aligwa mu kinnya, na buli alirinnya n’ava mu kinnya alikwatibwa mu mutego. Enzigi z’eggulu ziguddwawo, N’emisingi gy’ensi gikankana.
Loba ngubani obalekela umsindo wokwesaba uzawela egodini; loba ngubani ophumayo egodini uzabanjwa ngumjibila. Amasango asezulwini avuliwe, izisekelo zomhlaba ziyanyikinyeka.
19 Ensi emenyeddwamenyeddwa, ensi eyawuliddwamu, ensi ekankanira ddala.
Umhlaba usubhidlikile, umhlaba usudabuke phakathi, umhlaba usunyikinywe impela.
20 Ensi etagala ng’omutamiivu, eyuugayuuga ng’akasiisira bwe kayuugayuuga mu kibuyaga, omusango gwe gumulumiriza nnyo olw’obujeemu bwe, era ensi egwa n’etaddamu kuyimuka.
Umhlaba udiyazela njengesidakwa, uzunguzeka njengendlu kulesiphepho; siwusinda kangaka isono sokuhlamuka kwawo uze uwe, awuyikuvuka futhi.
21 Ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda alibonereza ab’amaanyi abali waggulu mu bwengula, ne bakabaka abali wansi ku nsi.
Ngalolosuku uThixo uzajezisa amabutho asemazulwini phezulu lamakhosi emhlabeni ngaphansi.
22 Balikuŋŋaanyirizibwa wamu ng’abasibe bwe bakuŋŋanyirizibwa mu kkomera, era baliweebwa ekibonerezo eky’okuggalirwa mu kkomera ennaku ennyingi.
Bazabuthelwa ndawonye njengezibotshwa zibotshiwe emgodini oyintolongo. Bazavalelwa entolongweni bajeziswe emva kwensuku ezinengi.
23 Omwezi gulitabulwatabulwa, n’enjuba eriswazibwa; Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alifugira mu kitiibwa ku Lusozi Sayuuni ne mu Yerusaalemi, ne mu maaso g’abakadde.
Inyanga izayangeka, ilanga libelenhloni; ngoba uThixo uSomandla uzabusa ngenkazimulo phezu kweNtaba iZiyoni laphakathi kweJerusalema, laphambi kwabadala bakhona.
