Isaaya 63
1 Ani ono ava mu Edomu mu kibuga Bozula anekaanekanye mu ngoye emyufu. Ani ono ali mu ngoye za bakabaka akumba mu bukulu bw’ekitiibwa kye? “Ye nze alangirira obutuukirivu, ow’amaanyi okulokola.”
Who [is] this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this [that is] glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 Lwaki oyambadde ebyambalo ebimyufu ng’eby’omusogozi w’omu ssogolero lya wayini?
Why [art thou] red in thy apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the wine-vat.
3 “Nva kulinnyirira amawanga nga emizabbibu, tewali n’omu yajja kunnyambako. Nabalinnyiririra mu busungu era omusaayi gwabwe ne gusammukira ku ngoye zange, era guyiise ku byambalo byange.
I have trodden the wine-press alone; and of the people [there was] none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury, and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
4 Kubanga olunaku olw’okununula abantu bange lwali lutuuse, olunaku olw’okuwoolera eggwanga abalabe baabwe.
For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
5 Natunula naye nga tewali n’omu ayinza kunnyamba, newuunya okulaba nga tewaali n’omu ayinza kunkwatirako. Kale omukono gwange ne gundeetera obuwanguzi, era obusungu bwange ne bunnyweza.
And I looked, and [there was] none to help; and I wondered that [there was] none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 Mu busungu bwange nalinnyirira abantu, mu kiruyi kyange ne mbatamiiza, omusaayi gwabwe ne nguyiwa ku ttaka.”
And I will tread down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
7 Ndibuulira ku bulungi bwa Mukama, ebikolwa ebyamugwanyisa okutenderezebwa, okusinziira ku byonna Mukama by’atukoledde; weewaawo ebirungi ebingi by’akoledde ennyumba ya Isirayiri, okusinziira ku kisa kye, okusinziira ku bungi bw’okwagala kwe okutajjulukuka.
I will mention the loving-kindnesses of the LORD, [and] the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness towards the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.
8 Yagamba nti, “Ddala bantu bange, abaana aboobulenzi abatannimbelimbe,” era bw’atyo n’afuuka omulokozi waabwe.
For he said, Surely they [are] my people, children [that] will not lie: so he was their Savior.
9 Yabonaabonera wamu nabo mu kubonaabona kwabwe kwonna, era malayika ayimirira mu maaso ge n’abawonya. Mu kwagala kwe n’ekisa kye yabanunula; yabayimusa n’abeetikka mu nnaku zonna ez’edda.
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
10 Naye baajeema ne banyiiza Mwoyo Mutukuvu, kyeyava abakyukira n’afuuka omulabe waabwe era ye kennyini n’abalwanyisa.
But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] he fought against them.
11 Ne balyoka bajjukira ennaku ez’edda, ennaku ez’edda eza Musa n’abantu be; aluwa oyo eyabayisa mu nnyanja n’omulunzi w’ekisibo kye. Aluwa oyo eyateeka Mwoyo Mutukuvu wakati mu bo
Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] his people, [saying], Where [is] he that brought them out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where [is] he that put his holy Spirit within him?
12 eyatuma omukono gwe ogw’ekitiibwa ogw’amaanyi okubeera ku mukono gwa Musa ogwa ddyo, eyayawulamu amazzi nga balaba, yeekolere erinnya ery’emirembe n’emirembe?
That led [them] by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 Ani eyabakulembera n’abayisa mu buziba? Ng’embalaasi mu nsi eyeetadde enjereere tebeesittala.
That led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, [that] they should not stumble?
14 Ng’ente ezigenda mu nsi eyeetadde, Omwoyo wa Mukama yabawummuza. Bw’otyo bwe wakulembera abantu bo okwekolera erinnya ery’ettendo.
As a beast goeth down in the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Tunula wansi ng’oli waggulu mu ggulu olabe, ng’oli ku ntebe yo ey’ekitiibwa egulumidde entukuvu. Obunyiikivu bwo n’ebikolwa byo eby’amaanyi biri ludda wa? Obulungi bwo n’ekisa bitukwekeddwa.
Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where [is] thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies towards me? are they restrained?
16 Ggwe Kitaffe, wadde nga Ibulayimu tatumanyi era nga Isirayiri tatutegeera, Ayi Mukama Katonda, ggwe Kitaffe Omununuzi waffe okuva edda n’edda lye linnya lyo.
Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, [art] our father, our Redeemer; thy name [is] from everlasting.
17 Ayi Mukama Katonda, lwaki otuleka ne tuva ku makubo go, n’okakanyaza omutima gwaffe, ne tutakutya? Komawo olw’obulungi bw’abaddu bo amawanga g’omugabo gwo.
O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, [and] hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thy inheritance.
18 Abantu bo abatukuvu baali mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu akaseera katono, naye kaakano abalabe baffe bakirinnyiridde.
The people of thy holiness have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 Ffe tuli bantu bo okuva edda n’edda; naye bo tobafuganga, tebayitibwanga linnya lyo.
We are [thine]: thou never didst bear rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
