< Isaaya 47 >
1 “Omuwala wa Babulooni embeerera, kakkana wansi otuule mu nfuufu, tuula wansi awatali ntebe ya bwakabaka, ggwe omuwala w’Abakaludaaya. Ekibuga ekitawangulwangako. Toliddayo nate kuyitibwa kyatika oba nnalulungi.
“Siane kɔ, tena mfuturo mu, Ɔbabaa bunu Babilonia; tena fam. Worentena ahennwa so bio, Ɔbabaa Babiloniafoɔ. Wɔremfrɛ wo bio sɛ, ɔbaabereɛ a wɔkorɔkorɔ no bio.
2 Ddira olubengo ose obutta. Ggyako akatimba ku maaso, situla ku ngoye z’oku magulu oyite mu mazzi.
Fa owiyammoɔ na yam esiam; yi wo nkatanimu no. Pagya wʼatadeɛ kɔ soro, na wo nan ho ngu hɔ, na fa nsuwansuwa no mu.
3 Obwereere bwo bulibikkulwa; obusungu bwo bulyeraga. Nzija kuwoolera eggwanga; tewali muntu yenna gwe ndirekawo.”
Wʼadagya bɛda adi na wʼanimguaseɛ so renkata. Mɛtɔ were; memfa obiara ho nkyɛ no.”

5 “Tuula mu kasirise yingira mu kizikiza ggwe omuwala w’Abakaludaaya, tebakyakuyita kabaka omukazi afuga obwakabaka obungi.
“Tena ase dinn, kɔhyɛ esum mu, Ɔbabaa Babilonia; wɔremfrɛ wo bio sɛ ahennie ahodoɔ so hemaa.
6 Nnali nsunguwalidde abantu bange, ne nyonoonesa omugabo gwange. Nabawaayo mu mikono gyo, n’otobasaasira n’akatono. N’abakadde wabateekako ekikoligo ekinene ennyo.
Me bo fuu me nkurɔfoɔ, na meguu mʼagyapadeɛ ho fi; mede wɔn hyɛɛ wo nsa, na woanhunu wɔn mmɔbɔ. Nkɔkoraa koraa mpo wosoaa wɔn kɔnnua duruduru.
7 Wayogera nti, ‘Nzija kubeera kabaka omukazi emirembe gyonna,’ naye n’otolowooza ku bintu bino wadde okulowooza ku kyali kigenda okubaawo.
Wokaa sɛ, ‘Mɛkɔ so daa, ayɛ ɔhemmaa afebɔɔ.’ Nanso woannwene saa nneɛma yi ho na woansusu deɛ ɛbɛtumi asie ho.
8 “Kale nno kaakano wuliriza kino, ggwe awoomerwa amasanyu ggwe ateredde mu mirembe gyo, ng’oyogera mu mutima gwo nti, ‘Nze ndiwo era tewali mulala wabula nze. Siribeera nnamwandu wadde okufiirwa abaana.’
“Afei tie, wo odwamanfoɔ, woredwodwo wo ho wɔ wo banbɔ mu na woka kyerɛ wo ho sɛ, ‘me ne no, na obiara nni hɔ sɛ me. Merenyɛ okunafoɔ da na merenni abawuo.’
9 Ebintu bino byombi birikutuukako mangu nnyo mu lunaku lumu, eky’okufiirwa abaana n’okufuuka nnamwandu. Birikutuukako mu kigera kyabyo ekituufu, newaakubadde obulogo bwo nga bungi okuyitirira, n’eby’obufumu byo nga bigenze wala.
Saa nneɛma mmienu yi bɛto wo prɛko pɛ, dakoro pɛ: abawuo ne kunayɛ. Saa nneɛma yi bɛba wo so pa ara, wʼabayisɛm bebrebe yi ne ntafowayie a emu yɛ den nyinaa akyi.
10 Weesiga obutali butuukirivu bwo, n’olowooza nti, ‘Siriiko annondoola.’ Amagezi go era n’okumanya kwo byakuwabya, bwe wayogera nti, ‘Nze ndiwo, era teri mulala wabula nze.’
Wode wo ho ato wʼamumuyɛ so na waka sɛ, ‘Obiara nhunu me.’ Wo nyansa ne nimdeɛ ma wo fom kwan ɛberɛ a woka kyerɛ wo ho sɛ, ‘Me ne no, obiara nni hɔ ka me ho.’
11 Kyokka ensasagge erikujjira era tolimanya ngeri yakugyeggyako; n’okuzikirira kw’otoliyinza kweggyako na muwendo gwa nsimbi; akabi k’otolirabirawo kalikutuukako amangu ddala.
Amanehunu bɛto wo, na worenhunu ɛkwan ko a wobɛfa so ayi afiri hɔ. Ɔhaw bi bɛba wo so a worentumi mfa mpatadeɛ nyi mfiri hɔ; atoyerɛnkyɛm a ɛnnaa ne ho adi nkyerɛɛ wo bɛba wo so mpofirim.
12 “Weeyongere nno n’obulogo bwo n’obufumu bwo obwayinga obungi, bwe wanyiikiriramu okuva mu buto bwo. Oboolyawo olibaako kyoggyamu, oboolyawo olikolawo ekyobulabe.
“Kɔ so yɛ wo ntafowayie ne wʼabayisɛm bebrebe a wode adi dwuma firi wo mmɔfraase no. Ebia wobɛdi nkonim, ebia wode ehu bɛba.
13 Amagezi ago g’ofuna gakukooya bukooya. Abalagulira ku munyeenye basembera, n’abo abakebera emmunyeenye, era aboogera ebiribaawo buli mwezi, babadduukirire mu bigenda okubatuukako.
Woabrɛ wɔ afotufoɔ bebrebe a woanya no mu! Ma wo nsoromma ho anyansafoɔ mmra anim, wɔn a wɔhwɛ nsoromma mu no ka deɛ ɛreba bosome biara mu no, ma wɔnnnye wo mfiri deɛ ɛreba wo so no mu.
14 Laba, bali ng’ebisusunku era omuliro gulibookya! Tebalyewonya maanyi ga muliro. Tewaliiwo manda ga kukubugumya wadde omuliro ogw’okwota!
Nokorɛm, wɔte sɛ nnyentia; ogya bɛhye wɔn. Na wɔntumi nnye wɔn ankasa ho mfiri egyadɛreɛ ano den no ho. Ogyasramma biara nni ha a ɛbɛka wo hye; ogya biara nni ha a wɔbɛtena ho ato.
15 Ekyo kye bayinza okukukolera kyokka; b’obonyeebonye nabo b’oteganidde okuva mu buto bwo. Buli muntu alikwata ekkubo lye nga yeeyongera okukola ebibi bye era tewali n’omu ayinza okukulokola.”
Deɛ wɔbɛtumi ayɛ ama wo ara ne no, yeinom na wo ne wɔn abrɛ na wo ne wɔn anante firi mmɔfraase. Wɔn mu biara afa ne kwan; ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ a ɔbɛtumi agye woɔ.
