U-Isaya 3
1 Khangelani khathesi UThixo, uThixo uSomandla usezasusa eJerusalema lelizweni lakoJuda okufunekayo losizo: konke ukudla lamanzi,
Laba kaakano, Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, aggya ku Yerusaalemi ne ku Yuda ekibeesiguza ne kwe banyweredde, ekibeesiguza kyonna k’ebeere mmere, ka gabe mazzi.
2 iqhawe lebutho, umahluleli lomphrofethi, isangoma lomuntu omdala,
Omusajja ow’amaanyi, n’omusajja omulwanyi omuzira, omulamuzi, ne nnabbi, n’omulaguzi, n’omukadde.
3 induna yebutho labangamatshumi amahlanu lamadoda ayizikhulu, umeluleki, ingcitshi yemisebenzi, lesanuse esihlakaniphileyo.
Omuduumizi akulira ekibinja ky’amakumi ataano, n’omuwi w’amagezi, omulogo, omufuusa omugezigezi.
4 “Ngizakwenza abafana babeyizikhulu zabo; abantwana nje bazababusa.”
“Era ndifuula abalenzi obulenzi okuba abafuzi baabwe, n’abaana obwana balibafuga.”
5 Abantu bazancindezelana, umuntu avukele umuntu, umakhelwane avukele umakhelwane. Abatsha bazavukela abadala, abeyisekayo bavukele abahlonitshwa.
Era abantu balijooga bannaabwe, buli muntu anyigirize munne, ne muliraanwa anyigirize muliraanwa we. Abato baliyisa mu bakulu amaaso n’oyo omuntu ataliiko bw’ali ajooge omuntu ow’ekitiibwa.
6 Indoda izabamba omunye wabafowabo emzini kayise ithi, “Ulesembatho, woba ngumkhokheli wethu, inqwaba yamanxiwa le izakuba ngaphansi kombuso wakho.”
Ekiseera kirituuka omusajja agambe muganda we nti, “Ggwe alina ku ngoye ba omukulembeze waffe, n’ebizibu bino ggwe oba obyetikka!”
7 Kodwa ngalolosuku uzakhala athi, “Angilamasiza. Endlini yami akulakudla loba izigqoko; ungangenzi umkhokheli wabantu.”
Naye ku olwo lwennyini aliddamu nti, “Si nze n’aba ow’okubawonya, mu nnyumba yange temuli mmere, wadde ebyambalo. Temumpa kukulembera bantu!”
8 IJerusalema liyadiyazela, uJuda uyawa; amazwi abo lezenzo zabo kuphambene loThixo, kweyisa ubukhosi bakhe.
Kubanga Yerusaalemi kizikiridde ne Yuda agudde! Kubanga ebigambo byabwe byonna n’ebikolwa biwakanya Mukama Katonda, bityoboola ekitiibwa kye.
9 Ukukhangeleka kobuso babo kufakaza kubi ngabo; babukisa izono zabo njengeSodoma; kabazifihli. Maye kubo! Bazilethele incithakalo phezu kwabo.
Engeri gye batunulamu eragira ddala nga bwe balina omusango, era boolesa ekibi kyabwe nga Sodomu awatali kukweka n’akatono. Zibasanze! Kubanga bo bennyini be beereeteedde okuzikirira.
10 Tshela abalungileyo ukuthi kuzakuba kuhle kubo, ngoba bazakholisa izithelo zezenzo zabo.
Gamba abatuukirivu nti bo tebaabeeko mutawaana, kubanga baakuwoomerwa ebibala by’ebikolwa byabwe.
11 Maye kwababi! Incithakalo isiphezu kwabo! Bazaphindiselwa ngalokho izandla zabo ezikwenzileyo.
Zisanze abakozi b’ebivve! Banaatuuka mu kuzikirira! Balisasulibwa emikono gyabwe kye gikoze.
12 Abatsha bancindezela abantu bami, abesifazane bayababusa. Awu, bantu bami, abakhokheli benu bayaliduhisa; bayaliphambula endleleni.
Abantu bange banyigirizibwa abaana abato, abakazi kaakano be babafuga. Woowe! Abantu bange bakyamizibwa abakulembeze baabwe era babatabulatabula okubaggya mu kkubo ettuufu.
13 UThixo uphakama ukuba afakaze indaba yakhe, uyasukuma ukuba ahlulele abantu.
Mukama Katonda ali mu kifo kye mu mbuga, ayimiridde okusalira abantu be omusango.
14 UThixo uqalisa ukwahlulela abadala labakhokheli babantu esithi, “Yini elitshabalalise isivini sami; elikuthumbe kubayanga kusezindlini zenu.
Mukama Katonda asala omusango gw’abakadde n’abakulembeze b’abantu be. “Mmwe mwayonoona ennimiro yange ey’emizabbibu. Ebyanyagibwa ku baavu biri mu nnyumba zammwe.
15 Litshoni ngokuchoboza abantu bami langokuchola ubuso babayanga?” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla.
Lwaki mulinnyirira abantu bange, lwaki mutulugunya abaavu?” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
16 UThixo uthi, “Abesifazane baseZiyoni bayaziphakamisa, bahamba belule izintamo, behuga ngamehlo abo, begwenxeka ngamanyathelo amancane, izigqizo zikhencezela enqagaleni zabo.
Mukama Katonda agamba nti, “Abakazi b’omu Sayuuni beemanyi, era batambula balalambazza ensingo nga batunuza bukaba. Batambula basiira nga bavuza obukomo bw’oku magulu gaabwe.
17 Ngakho-ke uThixo uzakwenza amakhanda abesifazane baseZiyoni abe lezilonda; uThixo uzakwenza isikhumba samakhanda abo siphuceke.”
Mukama kyaliva aleeta amabwa ku mitwe gy’abakazi ba Sayuuni, ne gifuuka gya biwalaata.”
18 Ngalolosuku uThixo uzahluthuna imiceciso yabo: amasongo, imincwazi, lemigaxo yentanyeni
Olunaku lujja Mukama lwaliggya ku bakazi b’omu Yerusaalemi ebintu byonna ebibaleetera amalala, ebikomo by’oku magulu, ebitambaala ebibikka ku mitwe, n’obukuufiira,
19 amacici, izigqizo lezimbombozo,
ebyokumatu, ebyambalwa mu bulago, n’obutimba bw’omu maaso,
20 amaqhiye, izigetsho lamabhanti; amambodlela amakha lezintebe,
ebyokumitwe, ebyokumikono, ebyomukiwato,
21 indandatho ezilophawu lamasongo empumulo,
empeta ez’oku ngalo n’ez’omu nnyindo,
22 izembatho ezinhle lezingubo lezigqoko, izikhwama
engoye ennungi, n’eminagiro, n’amaganduula, n’obusawo,
23 lezibuko, lezigqoko zelineni, imiqhele lamaveli.
n’endabirwamu, n’engoye ez’obutimba, n’eza linena, n’ebitambaala eby’oku mitwe ebinaanikiddwa n’amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’engoye ezibabikka.
24 Endaweni yephunga elimnandi kuzakuba lomnuko omubi; endaweni yebhanti kuzakuba legoda, endaweni yenwele ezilungiswe kuhle kuzakuba lempabanga, endaweni yezigqoko ezinhle kuzakuba ngamasaka, endaweni yobuhle, kuzakuba lihlazo.
Mu kifo ky’akaloosa walibaawo kuwunya kivundu, awandibadde enkoba ennungi wabeewo biguwa, n’awaali enviiri ennongoose obulungi wabeewo kiwalaata, mu kifo ky’engoye babeere mu nziina, n’awaali obulungi waddewo obulambe.
25 Amadoda akini azakuwa ngenkemba, kanjalo lamabutho akini empini.
Abasajja bo balittibwa kitala, abalwanyi bo abazira bagwire mu lutalo.
26 Amasango aseZiyoni azakhala alile, kuthi yona ihlale phansi ichithekile.
N’enzigi za Sayuuni zirikaaba ne zikungubaga era ekibuga kyennyini kiriba ng’omukazi alekeddwa obwereere ng’atudde mu ttaka.
