Isaaya 40
1 Mugumye, mugumye abantu bange, bw’ayogera Katonda wammwe.
My puple, be ye coumfortid, be ye coumfortid, seith youre Lord God.
2 Muzzeemu Yerusaalemi amaanyi mumubuulire nti, entalo ze ziweddewo, n’obutali butuukirivu bwe busasuliddwa. Era Mukama amusasudde emirundi ebiri olw’ebibi bye byonna.
Speke ye to the herte of Jerusalem, and clepe ye it, for the malice therof is fillid, the wickidnesse therof is foryouun; it hath resseyued of the hond of the Lord double thingis for alle hise synnes.
3 Eddoboozi ly’oyo ayogera liwulikika ng’agamba nti, “Muteeketeeke ekkubo lya Mukama mu ddungu, mutereeze oluguudo lwe mu ddungu.
The vois of a crier in desert, Make ye redi the weie of the Lord, make ye riytful the pathis of oure God in wildirnesse.
4 Buli kiwonvu kirigulumizibwa, na buli lusozi n’akasozi ne bikkakkanyizibwa. N’obukyamu buligololwa, ebifo ebitali bisende ne bitereezebwa.
Ech valey schal be enhaunsid, and ech mounteyn and litil hil schal be maad low; and schrewid thingis schulen be in to streiyt thingis, and scharpe thingis schulen be in to pleyn weies.
5 Ekitiibwa kya Mukama kiribikkulwa, ne bonna abalina omubiri balikirabira wamu, kubanga akamwa ka Mukama ke kakyogedde.”
And the glorie of the Lord schal be schewid, and ech man schal se togidere, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoke.
6 Ne mpulira eddoboozi nga ligamba nti, “Yogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka.” Ne ŋŋamba nti, “Nnaayogera ki?” Ne linziramu nti, gamba nti, “Abantu bonna bali nga muddo, n’obulungi bwabwe bumala ennaku ntono ng’ebimuli eby’omu nnimiro.
The vois of God, seiynge, Crie thou. And Y seide, What schal Y crie? Ech fleisch is hei, and al the glorie therof is as the flour of the feeld.
7 Omuddo guwotoka, ekimuli kiyongobera, omukka gwa Mukama bwe gugufuuwako. Mazima abantu muddo.
The hei is dried vp, and the flour felle doun, for the spirit of the Lord bleew therynne.
8 Omuddo guwotoka, ekimuli kiyongobera, naye ekigambo kya Katonda waffe kibeerera emirembe gyonna.”
Verely the puple is hey; the hey is dried vp, and the flour felle doun; but the word of the Lord dwellith with outen ende.
9 Ggwe abuulira Sayuuni ebigambo ebirungi, werinnyire ku lusozi oluwanvu; ggwe abuulira Yerusaalemi ebigambo ebirungi, yimusa eddoboozi lyo n’amaanyi, liyimuse oyogere, totya. Gamba ebibuga bya Yuda nti, “Laba Katonda wammwe ajja!”
Thou that prechist to Sion, stie on an hiy hil; thou that prechist to Jerusalem, enhaunse thi vois in strengthe; enhaunse thou, nyle thou drede; seie thou to the citees of Juda, Lo! youre God.
10 Laba, Mukama Katonda ajja n’amaanyi mangi era afuga n’omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi ag’ekitalo. Laba empeera ye eri mu mukono gwe, buli muntu afune nga bw’akoze.
Lo! the Lord God schal come in strengthe, and his arm schal holde lordschipe; lo! his mede is with hym, and his werk is bifore hym.
11 Aliisa ekisibo kye ng’omusumba, akuŋŋaanya abaana b’endiga mu mukono gwe n’abasitula mu kifuba kye, n’akulembera mpola mpola ezibayonsa.
As a scheepherd he schal fede his flok, he schal gadere lambreen in his arm, and he schal reise in his bosom; he schal bere scheep `with lomb.
12 Ani eyali ageze amazzi g’ennyanja mu kibatu kye, n’apima eggulu n’oluta, n’apima enfuufu y’oku nsi mu kibbo, oba n’apima ensozi ku minzaani, n’obusozi ku kipima?
Who mat watris in a fist, and peiside heuenes with a spanne? Who peiside the heuynesse of the erthe with thre fyngris, and weide mounteyns in a weihe, and litle hillis in a balaunce?
13 Ani eyali aluŋŋamizza Omwoyo wa Mukama? Ani ayinza okumuyigiriza n’amuwa amagezi?
Who helpide the Spirit of the Lord, ether who was his councelour, and schewide to hym?
14 Ani gwe yali yeebuuzizzako amuwe ku magezi, era ani eyali amuyigirizza ekkubo ettuufu? Ani eyali amusomesezza eby’amagezi n’amulaga okuyiga, n’okumanya n’okutegeera?
With whom took he councel, and who lernyde hym, and tauyte hym the path of riytfulnesse, and lernyde hym in kunnyng, and schewyde to him the weie of prudence?
15 Laba amawanga gali ng’ettondo eriri mu nsuwa, era ng’enfuufu ekutte ku minzaani, apima ebizinga ng’apima olufuufu ku minzaani.
Lo! folkis ben as a drope of a boket, and ben arettid as the tunge of a balaunce; lo!
16 N’ensolo zonna ez’omu kibira kya Lebanooni tezimala kubeera kiweebwayo eri Katonda waffe, n’emiti gyamu gyonna mitono nnyo tegisobola kuvaamu nku zimala.
ylis ben as a litil dust, and the Liban schal not suffice to brenne his sacrifice, and the beestis therof schulen not suffice to brent sacrifice.
17 Amawanga gonna ag’omu nsi gabalibwa mu maaso ge, gy’ali gabalibwa nga si kintu n’akamu.
Alle folkis ben so bifore hym, as if thei ben not; and thei ben rettid as no thing and veyn thing to hym.
18 Kale ani gwe mulifaananya Katonda? Oba kifaananyi ki kye mulimugeraageranyizaako?
To whom therfor maden ye God lijk? ether what ymage schulen ye sette to hym?
19 Ekifaananyi ekyole omukozi akifumba, n’omuweesi wa zaabu n’akibikkako zaabu, n’akibikkako n’emikuufu egya ffeeza.
Whether a smyth schal welle togidere an ymage, ether a gold smyth schal figure it in gold, and a worchere in siluer schal diyte it with platis of siluer?
20 Oyo omwavu atasobola kufuna ffeeza oba zaabu afuna omuti omugumu ogutavunda ne yenoonyeza omukozi omugezigezi okusimba n’okunyweza ekifaananyi ekyole.
A wijs crafti man chees a strong tre, and vnable to be rotun; he sekith how he schal ordeyne a symylacre, that schal not be mouyd.
21 Temunnamanya, temunnawulira, temubuulirwanga okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi?
Whether ye witen not? whether ye herden not? whether it was not teld to you fro the begynnynge? whether ye vndurstoden not the foundementis of erthe?
22 Katonda atuula ku nsi enneekulungirivu, era gy’ali abantu bali ng’amayanzi. Atimba eggulu ng’olutimbe era alibamba ng’eweema ey’okubeeramu.
Which sittith on the cumpas of erthe, and the dwelleris therof ben as locustis; which stretchith forth heuenes as nouyt, and spredith abrood tho as a tabernacle to dwelle.
23 Afuula abafuzi obutaba kintu, afuula n’abalamuzi mu nsi okuba ekitaliimu.
Which yyueth the sercheris of priuytees, as if thei be not, and made the iugis of erthe as a veyn thing.
24 Bali ng’ebisimbe ebyakamera biba bya kasimbibwa, biba byakasigibwa, biba byakaleeta emirandira, nga abifuuwa nga biwotoka, ng’embuyaga ebitwalira ddala ng’ebisasiro.
And sotheli whanne the stok of hem is nether plauntid, nether is sowun, nether is rootid in erthe, he bleew sudenli on hem, and thei drieden vp, and a whirle wynd schal take hem awei as stobil.
25 “Kale mulinfaananya ani, ani gwe mulinnenkanya?” bw’ayogera Omutukuvu.
And to what thing `ye han licned me, and han maad euene? seith the hooli.
26 Muyimuse amaaso gammwe mulabe ebiri ku ggulu. Ani eyatonda ebyo byonna? Oyo afulumya ebyaka eby’omu bbanga afulumya kina kimu, byonna nga bwe biri, n’abiyita amannya gaabyo. Olw’obukulu bw’obuyinza bwe era kubanga wa maanyi ga nsusso, tewali na kimu kibulako.
Reise youre iyen an hiy, and se ye, who made these thingis of nouyt; which ledith out in noumbre the kniythod of tho, and clepith alle bi name, for the multitude of his strengthe, and stalworthnesse, and vertu; nether o residue thing was.
27 Lwaki ogamba ggwe Yakobo era ne wemulugunya ggwe Isirayiri nti, “Mukama tamanyi mitawaana gye mpitamu, era tafaayo nga tuggyibwako eddembe lyaffe ery’obwebange”?
Whi seist thou, Jacob, and spekist thou, Israel, My weie is hid fro the Lord, and my doom passide fro my God?
28 Tonnamanya? Tonnawulira? Mukama, ye Katonda ataliggwaawo. Omutonzi w’enkomerero y’ensi. Tazirika so takoowa era n’amagezi ge tewali n’omu ayinza kugapima.
Whether thou knowist not, ether herdist thou not? God, euerlastynge Lord, that made of nouyt the endis of erthe, schal not faile, nether schal trauele, nether enserchyng of his wisdom is.
29 Awa amaanyi abazirika, n’oyo atalina buyinza amwongerako amaanyi.
That yyueth vertu to the weeri, and strengthe to hem that ben not, and multiplieth stalworthnesse.
30 Abavubuka bazirika, bakoowa, n’abalenzi bagwira ddala.
Children schulen faile, and schulen trauele, and yonge men schulen falle doun in her sikenesse.
31 Naye abo abalindirira Mukama baliddamu buggya amaanyi gaabwe, balitumbiira n’ebiwaawaatiro ng’empungu; balidduka mbiro ne batakoowa, balitambula naye ne batazirika.
But thei that hopen in the Lord, schulen chaunge strengthe, thei schulen take fetheris as eglis; thei schulen renne, and schulen not trauele; thei schulen go, and schulen not faile.
