Isaaya 43
1 Naye kaakano bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama oyo eyakutonda, ggwe Yakobo, eyakukola ggwe Isirayiri: “Totya kubanga nkununudde, nakuyita nga mpitira ddala erinnya lyo, oli wange.
Kodwa khathesi itsho njalo iNkosi eyakudalayo, wena Jakobe, leyakubumbayo, wena Israyeli: Ungesabi, ngoba ngikuhlengile, ngakubiza ngebizo lakho; ungowami.
2 Bw’onooyitanga mu mazzi amawanvu nnaabeeranga naawe, ne bw’onooyitanga mu migga tegirikusaanyaawo; bw’onooyitanga mu muliro tegukwokyenga, ennimi z’omuliro tezirikwokya.
Lapho udabula emanzini ngizakuba lawe, lemifuleni, kayiyikukukhukhula; lapho uhamba udabula emlilweni, kawuyikutsha, lelangabi kaliyikukulumathisa.
3 Kubanga nze Mukama Katonda wo, Katonda Omutukuvu owa Isirayiri; Omulokozi wo. Mpayo Misiri ggwe osobole okuteebwa, era Kuusi ne Seba mbiwaayo gwe ofune emirembe gyo.
Ngoba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli, uMsindisi wakho. Nginikele iGibhithe libe lihlawulo lokuthula lakho, iEthiyophiya leSeba esikhundleni sakho.
4 Kubanga oli wa muwendo gye ndi, ow’ekitiibwa, era kubanga nkwagala, ndiwaayo abasajja ku lulwo mpeeyo n’abantu ku lw’obulamu bwo.
Njengoba wawuligugu emehlweni ami, wawudumile, njalo mina ngikuthandile. Ngakho ngizanika abantu esikhundleni sakho, lezizwe endaweni yempilo yakho.
5 Totya, kubanga nze ndi nawe, ndireeta ezzadde lyo okuva ebuvanjuba era nkukuŋŋaanye okuva ebugwanjuba.
Ungesabi, ngoba ngilawe; ngizaletha inzalo yakho ivela empumalanga, ngikubuthe uvela entshonalanga;
6 Ndigamba obukiikakkono nti, ‘Waayo b’olina,’ n’obukiikaddyo nti, ‘Tobagaanira.’ Leeta batabani bange okuva ewala ne bawala bange okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi.
ngizakutsho kuyo inyakatho: Phana; lakuningizimu: Ungagodli; lethani amadodana ami akhatshana, lamadodakazi ami asemkhawulweni womhlaba,
7 Buli muntu yenna ayitibwa erinnya lyange, gwe natonda olw’ekitiibwa kyange, gwe nakola gwe natonda.”
wonke obizwa ngebizo lami; ngoba ngimdalele udumo lwami, ngimbumbile, yebo ngimenzile.
8 Fulumya abo abalina amaaso naye nga tebalaba, abalina amatu naye nga tebawulira.
Khuphani abantu abayiziphofu abalamehlo, lezacuthe ezilendlebe.
9 Amawanga gonna ka gakuŋŋaane n’abantu bajje. Ani ku bo eyali ayogedde ku bintu bino? Ani ku bo eyali alangiridde ebyaliwo? Leka baleete abajulizi okukakasa nti baali batuufu abawulira bagambe nti, “Ddala bwe kiri.”
Izizwe zonke kazibuthane ndawonye, labantu bahlangane. Ngubani phakathi kwabo ongamemezela lokhu, asenze sizwe izinto zamandulo? Kabalethe abafakazi babo, ukuze balungisiswe, kumbe bezwe bathi: Kuliqiniso.
10 “Muli bajulirwa bange,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “omuweereza wange gwe nalonda: mulyoke mummanye, munzikirize, mutegeere nga Nze wuuyo: Tewali Katonda eyansooka era teriba mulala alinzirira.
Lingabafakazi bami, kutsho iNkosi, lenceku yami engiyikhethileyo; ukuze lazi, lingikholwe, liqedisise ukuthi nginguye; ngaphambi kwami kakubunjwanga unkulunkulu, langemva kwami kayikuba khona.
11 Nze, Nze mwene, nze Mukama; okuggyako nze tewali Mulokozi.
Mina, mina ngiyiNkosi; langaphandle kwami kakulamsindisi.
12 Nze naleeta okwolesebwa ne nangirira ne ndokola; nze so si katonda mulala mugwira mu mmwe. Muli bajulirwa bange,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Ngimemezele, ngasindisa, ngazwakalisa, kungakabikho unkulunkulu wezizwe phakathi kwenu; ngakho lingabafakazi bami, kutsho iNkosi, ukuthi nginguNkulunkulu.
13 “Weewaawo, okuva mu nnaku ez’edda Nze Nzuuyo; tewali n’omu ayinza okuwonya omuntu mu mukono gwange. Kye nkola ani ayinza okukikyusa?”
Yebo, kungakabi khona usuku, mina nginguye; njalo kakho ongakhulula esandleni sami; ngizasebenza, njalo ngubani ongakubuyisela emuva?
14 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Omununuzi wammwe, Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri nti, “Ku lwammwe nditumya e Babulooni, ndeetere ab’e Babulooni bonna nga bawambe mu byombo ebyabeewanya.
Itsho njalo iNkosi, uMhlengi wenu, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli: Ngenxa yenu ngithumele eBhabhiloni, ngehlisele phansi bonke ababalekayo babo, lamaKhaladiya okukhala kwawo kusemikhunjini.
15 Nze Mukama, Omutukuvu wammwe, Omutonzi wa Isirayiri, Kabaka wammwe.”
NgiyiNkosi, oNgcwele wenu, uMdali kaIsrayeli, inkosi yenu.
16 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, oyo eyakola ekkubo mu nnyanja, n’oluguudo mu mazzi amangi ennyo,
Itsho njalo iNkosi, eyenza indlela olwandle, lomkhondo emanzini alamandla,
17 eyaleetera amagaali, n’embalaasi n’eggye, n’abaali bazze okubayamba, byonna awamu okugwa omwo, ne bitaddamu kusituka, nga bizikiridde, nga bikomye ng’akatambi akabadde kaaka:
ekhupha inqola lebhiza, ibutho lamandla; kuzalala ndawonye, kakuyikuvuka; kuzaphela du, kucitshe njengentambo yesibane.
18 “Mwerabire eby’emabega, so temulowooza ku by’ayita.
Lingakhumbuli izinto zakuqala, linganakani ngezinto zendulo.
19 Laba, nkola ekintu ekiggya! Kaakano kitandise okulabika, temukiraba? Nkola oluguudo mu ddungu ne ndeeta emigga mu lukoola.
Khangelani, ngizakwenza into entsha; khathesi izahluma, kaliyikuyazi yini? Yebo, ngizakwenza indlela enkangala, imifula ogwaduleni.
20 Ensolo ez’omu nsiko zinzisaamu ekitiibwa, ebibe n’ebiwuugulu; kubanga nze ngaba amazzi mu ddungu, n’emigga mu lukoola, okunywesa abantu bange, abalonde bange,
Inyamazana zeganga zizangidumisa, imigobho lamadodakazi ezintshe; ngoba nginika amanzi enkangala, imifula ogwaduleni, ukunathisa abantu bami, abakhethiweyo bami.
21 abantu be nnekolera balangirire ettendo lyange.
Lababantu ngizibumbele bona; bazalandisa udumo lwami.
22 “So tonkowodde ggwe, Yakobo, era teweekooyeza ggwe Isirayiri.
Kanti kawungibizanga, Jakobe, kodwa udiniwe ngami, Israyeli.
23 Tondeetedde ndiga ey’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, wadde okunzisaamu ekitiibwa ne ssaddaaka zo. Sikukaluubirizanga nga nkusaba ebiweebwayo ebyempeke wadde okukukooya n’obubaane.
Kawulethanga kimi izimvu zomnikelo wakho wokutshiswa, kawungihloniphanga ngemihlatshelo yakho. Kangikwenzanga wakhonza ngomnikelo, kangikudinisanga ngempepha.
24 Tondeeteddeeyo bubaane buwunya kawoowo wadde okunzikusa n’amasavu ga ssaddaaka zo, naye onkoyesezza n’ebibi byo, era n’onteganya n’obutali butuukirivu bwo.
Kawungithengelanga umhlanga olephunga elimnandi ngemali, njalo kawungisuthisanga ngamahwahwa emihlatshelo yakho; kodwa ungenze ngasebenza ngezono zakho, wangidinisa ngeziphambeko zakho.
25 “Nze, Nze mwene, nze wuuyo asangula ebyonoono byo ku lwange nze, so sirijjukira bibi byo.
Mina, mina nginguye owesula iziphambeko zakho ngenxa yami, kangiyikuzikhumbula izono zakho.
26 Nzijukiza eby’edda, tuwoze ffembi, jjangu ensonga tuzoogereko fembi, yogera ebiraga nga toliiko musango.
Ngikhumbuza; kasehlulelane; landisa wena, ukuze ulungisiswe.
27 Kitaawo eyasooka yasobya, abakulembeze bo baanjemera.
Uyihlo wokuqala wona, labachasisi bakho baphambukile bemelene lami.
28 Kyendiva ndiswaza abakungu ba yeekaalu yo, era ndiwaayo Yakobo azikirizibwe ne Isirayiri aswazibwe.”
Ngakho ngingcolise iziphathamandla zendlu engcwele, nganikela uJakobe ekutshabalalisweni, loIsrayeli ekuthukweni.
