Isaaya 54
1 “Yimba ggwe omugumba atazaalanga; tandika okuyimbira mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka osanyukire ddala ggwe atalumwanga kuzaala. Kubanga ggwe eyalekebwa ojja kuba n’abaana bangi okusinga oyo akyalina bba,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
“Hlabela wena mfazi oyinyumba, wena ongazange uzale umntwana; susa ingoma, umemeze ngentokozo, wena ongakaze uhelelwe ngoba abantwana bomfazi olahliweyo banengi kulabalowo olendoda,” kutsho uThixo.
2 “Gaziya weema yo, owanvuye emiguwa gyayo, tokwata mpola; nyweza enkondo zo.
Qhelisa indawo yethente lakho, yelula amakhetheni ethente lakho abe banzi, ungathikazi, yelula izintambo zakho, uqinise izikhonkwane zakho.
3 Kubanga olisaasaanira ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo era n’ogwa kkono, n’ezzadde lyo lirirya amawanga, era abantu bo balituula mu bibuga ebyalekebwa awo ebyereere.
Ngoba uzaqhela usiya kwesokudla lesenxele; inzalo yakho izazixotsha izizwe yakhe emadolobheni azo adilikayo.
4 “Totya kubanga toliddayo kukwatibwa nsonyi. Toggwaamu maanyi kubanga togenda kuswazibwa. Olyerabira ensonyi z’obuvubuka bwo, n’ekivume ky’obwannamwandu bwo tolikijjukira nate.
“Ungesabi, ngoba awuyikwehlelwa lihlazo. Ungesabi ukuyangeka, ngoba awuyikudumazeka. Uzalikhohlwa ihlazo lasebutsheni bakho, ungakhumbuli lesithuko sobufelokazi bakho.
5 Kubanga Omutonzi wo ye balo, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye lye linnya lye. Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri ye Mununuzi wo, Katonda ow’ensi yonna, bw’ayitibwa.
Ngoba uMenzi wakho engumyeni wakho, uThixo uSomandla libizo lakhe oNgcwele ka-Israyeli unguMhlengi wakho; ubizwa ngokuthi nguNkulunkulu womhlaba wonke.
6 Kubanga Mukama Katonda yakuyita okomewo, ng’omukazi eyali alekeddwawo ng’alina ennaku ku mutima; omukazi eyafumbirwa ng’akyali muto, n’alekebwawo,” bw’ayogera Katonda wo.
UThixo uzakubiza njengowesifazane olahliweyo, odabukileyo emoyeni, owesifazane owenda esesemncane, waphanga waliwa,” kutsho uNkulunkulu wakho.
7 “Nakulekako akaseera katono nnyo; naye ndikukuŋŋaanya n’okusaasira okungi.
“Ngakutshiya okomzuzwana omncane, kodwa ngesihawu esikhulu ngizakubuyisa.
8 Obusungu obubuubuuka bwe bwankwata nakweka amaaso gange okumala ekiseera, naye ndikukwatirwa ekisa n’okwagala okutaliggwaawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, Omununuzi wo.
Ngomfutho wokuthukuthela, ngakufihlela ubuso bami okomzuzwana, kodwa ngothando olungapheliyo, ngizakuba lesihawu kuwe,” kutsho uThixo uMhlengi wakho.
9 “Kubanga gye ndi, bino biri nga bwe byali mu biseera bya Nuuwa. Nga bwe nalayira nti amazzi ga Nuuwa tegagenda kuddamu kulabikako ku nsi, bwe ntyo ndayira nti siriddayo kukusunguwalira wadde okukunenya.
“Kimi lokhu kunjengasezinsukwini zikaNowa, lapho engafunga khona ngathi amanzi kaNowa kawayikugcwala umhlaba futhi. Ngakho khathesi sengifungile ngathi angiyikukuthukuthelela futhi; angiyikukusola njalo.
10 Kubanga ensozi ziyinza okuvaawo n’obusozi okuggyibwawo naye okwagala kwange okutaggwaawo tekulisagaasagana so n’endagaano yange ey’emirembe teriggyibwawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda akusaasira.
Lanxa izintaba zinganyikinyiswa, lamaqaqa asuswe, kodwa uthando lwami olungapheliyo kuwe kaluyikunyikinyiswa, kumbe isivumelwano sami sokuthula sisuswe,” kutsho uThixo olesihawu kuwe.
11 Mukama agamba nti, “Ggwe Yerusaalemi ekibuga ekibonyaabonyezebwa, ekisuukundibwa emiyaga awatali kulaba ku mirembe; laba ndikuzimba buto n’amayinja ag’amabala amalungi, emisingi gyo ne gizimbibwa ne safiro.
Wena dolobho elihluphekileyo, elitshaywa yiziphepho alaze laduduzwa, ngizakwakha ngamatshe amahle, izisekelo zakho ngizakhe ngamasafire.
12 Ebitikkiro byo ndibikola n’amayinja amatwakaavu, n’emiryango gyo ne ngikola ne kabunkulo, ne bbugwe yenna ne mwetoolooza amayinja ag’omuwendo.
Izakhiwo zakho zokuvikela ngizazenza ngamarubhi, amasango akho ngiwenze ngamatshe akhazimulayo, yonke imithangala yakho ngiyenze ngamatshe aligugu.
13 N’abaana bo bonna baliyigirizibwa Mukama; n’emirembe gy’abaana bo giriba mingi.
Wonke amadodana akho azafundiswa nguThixo, njalo kuzakuba kukhulu ukuthula kwabantwana bakho.
14 Olinywezebwa mu butuukirivu era toojoogebwenga, kubanga tolitya, onoobanga wala n’entiisa kubanga terikusemberera.
Uzaqiniswa ngokulunga: uchuku luzakuba khatshana lawe, awuyikwesaba lutho. Ukwesaba kuzasuselwa khatshana, akuyikusondela phansi kwakho.
15 Omuntu yenna bwakulumbanga kiriba tekivudde gye ndi. Buli anaakulumbanga anaawangulwanga ku lulwo.
Nxa ekhona ozakuhlasela, kobe kungayisimi; loba ngubani okuhlaselayo uzazinikela kuwe.
16 Laba nze natonda omuweesi, awujja amanda agaliko omuliro n’aweesa ekyokulwanyisa olw’omugaso gwakyo. Era nze natonda abazikiriza abakozesa ekyokulwanyisa okumalawo obulamu.
“Khangela, yimi engadala umkhandi wensimbi ovuthela amalahle abe lilangabi, akhande isikhali esilungele umsebenzi waso. Njalo yimi engadala umchithi ukuba enze umonakalo;
17 Naye teri kyakulwanyisa kye baliweesa ekirikwolekera ne kikusobola, era oliwangula buli lulimi olulikuvunaana era oluwoza naawe. Guno gwe mugabo gw’abaddu ba Mukama, n’obutuukirivu bwabwe obuva gye ndi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
akulasikhali esikhandelwe wena esizaphumelela, njalo bonke abakumangalelayo uzabehlula. Leli yilifa lezinceku zikaThixo, lokhu yikho ukwenaniswa kwazo yimi,” kutsho uThixo.
