U-Isaya 45
1 “Nanku akutshoyo uThixo kogcotshiweyo wakhe, uKhurosi, engibamba isandla sakhe sokudla ukuba nginqobe izizwe eziphambi kwakhe, ngithathele amakhosi izihlangu zawo, ngivule iminyango phambi kwakhe ukuze amasango angavaleki:
“Bw’ati Mukama bw’agamba Kuulo gwe yafukako amafuta, oyo gwe mpadde amaanyi mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo okujeemulula amawanga mu maaso ge era n’okwambula bakabaka ebyokulwanyisa byabwe, okuggulawo enzigi ezimuli mu maaso, emiryango eminene gireme kuggalwawo.
2 Ngizahamba phambi kwakho ngenze izintaba zendlaleke. Ngizadiliza amasango ethusi, ngifohle emigoqweni yensimbi.
Ndikukulembera ne ntereeza ebifo ebigulumivu. Ndimenyaamenya emiryango egy’ebikomo ne ntemaatema ebisiba eby’ekyuma.
3 Ngizakupha inotho yobumnyama, lenotho egcinwe ezindaweni ezifihlakeleyo ukuze wazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, okubiza ngebizo.
Era ndikuwa obugagga obwakwekebwa mu bifo ebyekusifu era n’ebintu ebyakwekebwa mu bifo ebyekyama olyoke omanye nga nze Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri akuyitira ddala erinnya lyo.
4 Ngenxa kaJakhobe inceku yami, lo-Israyeli okhethiweyo wami, ngikubiza ngebizo ngikunike ibizo lokuhlonipha, lanxa wena unganginakanga.
Ku lwa Yakobo omuweereza wange ne ku lwa Isirayiri omulonde wange kyenvudde nkuyita erinnya, ne nkuwa ekitiibwa wadde nga tonzisaako mwoyo.
5 Mina nginguThixo, njalo kakho omunye; ngaphandle kwami akulaNkulunkulu. Ngizakuqinisa, lanxa wena unganginakanga,
Nze Mukama, tewali mulala. Tewali katonda mulala wabula nze. Ndikuwa amaanyi wadde nga tonzisaako mwoyo,
6 ukuze kuthi kusukela empumalanga kusiya entshonalanga, abantu bakwazi ukuthi kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami. Mina nginguThixo, njalo kakho omunye.
balyoke bamanye nga okuva enjuba gy’eva okutuuka gyegenda tewali mulala wabula nze. Nze Mukama, tewali mulala.
7 Ngenza ukukhanya njalo ngidale umnyama, ngiletha ukuphumelela njalo ngidale incithakalo; mina Thixo ngiyazenza zonke lezizinto.
Nze nteekawo ekitangaala ne ntonda ekizikiza. Nze ndeeta okukulaakulana n’okubonaabona. Nze Mukama akola ebyo byonna.
8 Lina mazulu angaphezulu, nisani ukulunga; amayezi kawakuthululele phansi. Umhlaba kawuvuleke kabanzi kuhlume ukusindiswa, ukulunga akukhule lakho; mina, uThixo, ngikudalile.
“Mmwe eggulu eriri waggulu, mutonnyese obutuukirivu. Ebire bitonnyese obutuukirivu. Ensi egguke n’obulokozi bumeruke, ereete obutuukirivu. Nze Mukama nze nagitonda.
9 Maye kulowo ophikisa uMdali wakhe, kulowo oludengezi nje phakathi kwendengezi emhlabathini. Ibumba liyatsho na kumbumbi lithi, ‘Kuyini okubumbayo?’ Umsebenzi wakho uyatsho na uthi, ‘Kalazandla?’
“Zimusanze oyo ayomba n’omutonzi we! Zimusanze oyo oluggyo mu nzigyo z’ensi. Bbumba ki eribuuza oyo alibumba nti, ‘Obumba ki?’ Oba omulimu gwo okukubuuza nti, ‘Aliko emikono?’
10 Maye kulowo othi kuyise, ‘Kuyini owakuzalayo?’ loba athi kunina, ‘Kuyini owakubelethayo?’
Zimusanze oyo agamba kitaawe nti, ‘Wazaala ki?’ Oba nnyina nti, ‘Kiki ky’ozadde?’
11 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, loMdali wakhe uthi: Mayelana lezinto ezizayo, uyangibuza ngabatwabami na, loba uyangilawula emsebenzini engiwenzayo na?
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri era Omutonzi we nti, ‘Lwaki mumbuuza ebigenda okujja, oba ebikwata ku baana bange, oba okumpa ebiragiro ku bikwata ku mirimu gy’emikono gyange?’
12 Yimi engadala umhlaba, ngenza labantu abahlala kuwo. Ezami izandla yizo ezananabula amazulu; ngahlela amaxuku ezinkanyezi zawo.
Nze nakola ensi ne ngitonderamu abantu. Emikono gyange gyennyini gye gyayanjuluza eggulu, era ne ndagira eby’omu bwengula byonna bitondebwewo.
13 Ngizamvusa uKhurosi ngokulunga kwami, ngenze izindlela zakhe zonke ziqonde. Uzalakha futhi idolobho lami, akhulule abami abaxotshwayo elizweni, kodwa kungekho nhlawulo kumbe umvuzo, kutsho uThixo uSomandla.”
Ndiyimusa Kuulo mu butuukirivu era nditereeza amakubo ge gonna. Alizimba ekibuga kyange n’asumulula abantu bange abaawaŋŋangusibwa; naye si lwa mpeera oba ekirabo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
14 Nanku akutshoyo uThixo: “Izithelo zaseGibhithe lempahla ethengiswayo yaseKhushi lamaSebhina lawana amade, bazakuza kuwe babengabakho, bazakhasabula ngemva kwakho, beze kuwe bebotshwe ngamaketane. Bazakukhothamela bakuncenge besithi, ‘Ngempela uNkulunkulu ulawe, kakho omunye, kakho omunye uNkulunkulu.’”
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Ebiva mu Misiri n’ebyamaguzi bya Kuusi birireetebwa, n’abo Abasabeya abawanvu balijja babeere abaddu bo, bajje nga bakugoberera nga basibiddwa mu njegere. Balikuvuunamira bakwegayirire nga bagamba nti, ‘Ddala Katonda ali naawe, ye Katonda yekka, tewali Katonda mulala.’”
15 Ngeqiniso unguNkulunkulu ozifihlayo, Nkulunkulu loMsindisi ka-Israyeli.
Ddala oli Katonda eyeekweka, ggwe Katonda wa Isirayiri era Omulokozi we.
16 Bonke ababaza izithombe bazayangiswa badumazeke; bonke bazahamba beyangekile.
Bonna abakola bakatonda abakole n’emikono baliswazibwa, balikwatibwa ensonyi, bonna balikwata ekkubo limu nga baswadde.
17 Kodwa u-Israyeli uzasindiswa nguThixo ngensindiso engapheliyo; kaliyikuyangiswa kumbe libe lehlazo kuze kube nininini.
Naye Isirayiri alirokolebwa Mukama n’obulokozi obutaliggwaawo. Temuukwatibwenga nsonyi, temuuswalenga emirembe gyonna.
18 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo yena owadala amazulu, unguNkulunkulu, yena owabumba umhlaba wawenza, wawusekela; kawudalanga ukuba ungabi lalutho, kodwa wawenza ukuba kuhlalwe kuwo, uthi: “Mina nginguThixo, kakho omunye.
Kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama eyatonda eggulu, ye Katonda eyabumba ensi n’agikola. Ye yassaawo emisingi gyayo. Teyagitonda kubeera nkalu naye yagikola etuulwemu. Ye yagamba nti, “Nze Mukama so tewali mulala.
19 Angikhulumanga ensitha kwenye indawo elizweni lomnyama; angizange ngithi kuzizukulwane zikaJakhobe, ‘Ngidingani lingangitholi.’ Mina Thixo ngikhuluma iqiniso; ngitsho okuqotho.
Soogereranga mu kyama, oba mu nsi eyeekizikiza. Sigambanga bazzukulu ba Yakobo nti, ‘Munoonyeze bwereere.’ Nze Mukama njogera mazima, mbuulira ebigambo eby’ensonga.
20 Qoqanani ndawonye lize kimi; buthanani lina elabaleka ezizweni. Labo abahamba bethwele izithombe zezigodo kabazi lutho; labo abakhuleka kubonkulunkulu abangeke babasize.”
“Mwekuŋŋaanye mujje, mukuŋŋaane, mmwe abasigaddewo mu mawanga. Tebalina magezi abo abasitula ebifaananyi ebibajje, abasaba eri katonda atasobola kubalokola.
21 Memezelani okufanele kube yikho, likubike, kabemukele izeluleko ndawonye. Ngubani owabika lokhu endulo, ngubani owamemezela ngakho kudala le? Kwakungayisimi mina Thixo na? Njalo kakho uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, uNkulunkulu olungileyo onguMsindisi; kakho omunye, yimi kuphela.
Mukuŋŋaane muleete ensonga zammwe. Muteese muyambagane. Ani eyayogera nti kino kiribaawo? Ani eyakyogerako edda? Si nze Mukama? Tewali Katonda mulala wabula nze, Katonda omutuukirivu era Omulokozi, tewali mulala wabula nze.
22 “Phendukelani kimi lisindiswe, lonke lina mikhawulo yomhlaba; ngoba mina nginguNkulunkulu, njalo kakho omunye.
“Mudde gye ndi, mulokoke, mmwe mwenna abali ku nkomerero z’ensi, kubanga nze Katonda so tewali mulala.
23 Ngifunge ngami, ngobuqotho bonke umlomo wami ukhulume ilizwi elingayikwesulwa. Amadolo wonke azaguqa phambi kwami; izindimi zonke zizafunga ngami.
Neerayiridde, ekigambo kivudde mu kamwa kange mu mazima so tekiriggibwawo mu maaso gange. Buli vviivi lirifukamira, na buli lulimi lulirayira!
24 Zizakutsho ngami zithi, ‘Ukulunga lamandla kuThixo kuphela.’” Bonke abamthukuthelelayo bazakuza kuye bayangiswe.
Balinjogerako nti, ‘Mu Mukama mwokka mwe muli obutuukirivu n’amaanyi.’” Bonna abaamusunguwalira balijja gy’ali nga baswadde.
25 Kodwa Thixo yonke inzalo ka-Israyeli izafunyanwa ilungile, ithokoze iziqhenya ngaye.
Naye mu Mukama ezzadde lyonna erya Isirayiri mwe liriweerwa obutuukirivu era mwe liryenyumiririza.
