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 who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? Who is this who is glorious in his clothing, marching in the greatness of his strength? “It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
2 Lwaki oyambadde ebyambalo ebimyufu ng’eby’omusogozi w’omu ssogolero lya wayini?
Why is your clothing red, and your garments like him who treads 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. Of the peoples, no one was with me. Yes, I trod them in my anger and trampled them in my wrath. Their lifeblood is sprinkled on my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
4 Kubanga olunaku olw’okununula abantu bange lwali lutuuse, olunaku olw’okuwoolera eggwanga abalabe baabwe.
For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has 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.
I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. My own wrath upheld me.
6 Mu busungu bwange nalinnyirira abantu, mu kiruyi kyange ne mbatamiiza, omusaayi gwabwe ne nguyiwa ku ttaka.”
I trod down the peoples in my anger and made them drunk in my wrath. I poured their lifeblood out on 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 tell of the loving kindnesses of Yahweh and the praises of Yahweh, according to all that Yahweh has given to us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has given to 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 who will not deal falsely;” so he became 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. 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 grieved his Holy Spirit. Therefore he turned and became their enemy, and he himself 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 who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who put his Holy Spirit among them?”
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?
Who caused his glorious arm to be at Moses’ right hand? Who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
13 Ani eyabakulembera n’abayisa mu buziba? Ng’embalaasi mu nsi eyeetadde enjereere tebeesittala.
Who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they didn’t stumble?
14 Ng’ente ezigenda mu nsi eyeetadde, Omwoyo wa Mukama yabawummuza. Bw’otyo bwe wakulembera abantu bo okwekolera erinnya ery’ettendo.
As the livestock that go down into the valley, Yahweh’s Spirit caused them to rest. So you led your people to make yourself 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 see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.
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.
For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn’t know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, Yahweh, are our Father. Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
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 Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
18 Abantu bo abatukuvu baali mu kifo kyo ekitukuvu akaseera katono, naye kaakano abalabe baffe bakirinnyiridde.
Your holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
19 Ffe tuli bantu bo okuva edda n’edda; naye bo tobafuganga, tebayitibwanga linnya lyo.
We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were not called by your name.
