< U-Isaya 51 >
1 “Lalelani kimi lina elilandela ukulunga lidinga loThixo: Khangelani edwaleni elacezulwa kulo lasegodini lamatshe elambiwa kulo;
“Mumpulirize, mmwe abanoonya obutuukirivu, mmwe abanoonya Mukama: Mutunuulire olwazi lwe mwatemebwako, n’obunnya bw’ekirombe gye mwasimibwa.
2 khangelani ku-Abhrahama, uyihlo, lakuSara owalizalayo. Ekumbizeni kwami wayemunye, ngambusisa ngamandisa.
Mulowooze ku Ibulayimu jjajjammwe ne Saala eyabazaala. Kubanga we namuyitira yali bw’omu ne mmuwa omukisa ne mmwaza.
3 Ngeqiniso uThixo uzaduduza iZiyoni abe lesihawu kuwo wonke amanxiwa alo; uzakwenza izinkangala zalo zibe njenge-Edeni, amazwe alo alugwadule afane lesivande sikaThixo. Ukuthaba lentokozo kuzafunyanwa kulo, kanye lokubonga lelizwi lokuhlabela.
Kubanga ddala Mukama alikubagiza Sayuuni; akwatirwe ekisa ebifo byakyo byonna ebyazika era afuule olukoola lwe lwonna okuba Adeni, n’eddungu libeere ng’ennimiro ya Mukama; Essanyu n’okujaguza biryoke bibeere omwo, okwebaza n’amaloboozi ag’okuyimba.
4 Lalelani kimi, bantu bami; ungizwe lawe sizwe sami: Kuzaphuma umthetho uvela kimi; ukulunga kwami kuzakuba yikukhanya ezizweni.
“Mumpulirize, mmwe abantu bange; era muntegere okutu mmwe ensi yange. Kubanga etteeka lifuluma okuva gye ndi, obwenkanya bwange bubeere omusana eri amawanga.
5 Ukulunga kwami kusondela ngokuphangisa, insindiso yami iyeza, ingalo yami izaletha ukulunga ezizweni. Izihlenge zizakhangela kimi, zilinde zithembe amandla ami.
Obutuukirivu bwange busembera mangu nnyo, obulokozi bwange buli mu kkubo. Era omukono gwange gujja kuleeta obwenkanya eri amawanga. Ebizinga birinnindirira era birindirire n’essuubi omukono gwange okubirokola.
6 Phakamiselani amehlo enu phezulu emazulwini, likhangele lasemhlabeni phansi; amazulu azanyamalala njengentuthu; umhlaba uzaguga njengesigqoko abakhe kuwo bafe njengempukane. Kodwa insindiso yami izakuba khona kuze kube nininini, ukulunga kwami akuyikuphela.
Muyimuse amaaso gammwe eri eggulu, mutunuulire ensi wansi! Kubanga eggulu lirivaawo ng’omukka n’ensi ekaddiwe ng’ekyambalo. Abagituulamu balifa ng’ensowera. Naye obulokozi bwange bunaabeereranga emirembe gyonna, so n’obutuukirivu bwange tebujjulukukenga.
7 Ngizwani lina elikwaziyo okulungileyo lina bantu abagcina umthetho wami ezinhliziyweni zenu: Lingakwesabi ukugconwa ngabantu, kumbe lethuswe yizithuko zabo.
“Mumpulirize, mmwe abamanyi obutuukirivu, eggwanga eririna amateeka gange mu mitima gyammwe. Temutya kuvumibwa bantu wadde okukeŋŋentererwa olw’okuyomba kwabwe.
8 Ngoba inondo izabadla njengesigqoko; impethu ibadle njengewulu. Kodwa ukulunga kwami kuzakuba khona kuze kube nininini; lensindiso yami ikhona kuzizukulwane zonke.”
Kubanga ennyenje ziribalya nga bwe zirya ebyambalo. N’obuwuka bubalye ng’obulya ebyoya by’endiga. Naye obutuukirivu bwange bunaabeereranga ennaku zonna. Obulokozi bwange bunywere emirembe gyonna.”
9 Vuka, vuka, wena ngalo kaThixo; uzigqokise ngamandla akho! Vuka njengasezinsukwini zendulo, lanjengakuzizukulwane zakudala. Kayisuwe yini owaquma uRahabi waba yiziqa, wagwaza lesilo lesiyana na?
Zuukuka, zuukuka oyimuke otuyambe Ayi Mukama Katonda. Kozesa amaanyi go otuyambe. Gakozese nga edda. Si ggwe wuuyo eyatemaatemamu Lakabu obufiififi? Si ye ggwe eyafumita ogusota?
10 Kawusuwe yini owomisa ulwandle, amanzi atshona kakhulu, wenza umgwaqo ezinzikini zolwandle ukuze abahlengiweyo bachaphe na?
Si ggwe wuuyo eyakaliza ennyanja, amazzi ag’obuziba obuwanvu ennyo ne gafuuka ekkubo abantu be wanunula bayitewo?
11 Labahlengiweyo bakaThixo bazabuyela. Bazangena eZiyoni behlabelela, intokozo engapheliyo izakuba ngumqhele emakhanda abo. Bazakuba lokuthula lenjabulo, usizi lokububula kuzaphela.
N’abo Mukama be wawonya balikomawo ne bajja mu Sayuuni nga bayimba. Essanyu ery’emirembe n’emirembe liriba nga ngule ku mitwe gyabwe. Balisanyuka ne bajaguza; ennaku n’okusinda bibadduke.
12 “Mina, mina uqobo, nginguye oliduduzayo. Ungubani wena ukuba wesabe abantu abafayo, amadodana abantu, abutshani nje,
“Nze, nze mwene, nze nzuuno abawa amaanyi. Mmwe baani abatya omuntu alifa, n’omwana w’omuntu ali ng’omuddo,
13 uze ukhohlwe uThixo, uMenzi wakho, owendlala amazulu wabeka lezisekelo zomhlaba, ukuthi uhlale ngokwesaba okungapheliyo nsuku zonke ngenxa yolaka lomncindezeli, ohlose ukuchitha na? Ngoba lungaphi na ulaka lomncindezeli?
ne weerabira Mukama Omutonzi wo eyabamba eggulu, n’ateekawo n’emisingi gy’ensi, ebbanga lyonna ne mubeera mu kutya obusungu bw’abo abakunyigiriza, oyo eyemalidde mu kuzikiriza? Kubanga kale buliruddawa obulabe bw’oyo abanyigiriza?
14 Izibotshwa ezitshotshobeleyo zizakhululwa masinyazana, aziyikufela emajele azo, kumbe ziswele ukudla.
Abo be bawamba ne basibibwa banaatera okuteebwa, tebalifiira mu bunnya, era tebalibulwa mmere gye balya.
15 Ngoba mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, ophehla ulwandle ukuze amagagasi alo ahlokome, ibizo lakhe nguThixo uSomandla.
Kubanga nze Mukama Katonda wo, asiikuula amayengo g’ennyanja ne gawuluguma: Mukama ow’Eggye lye linnya lye.
16 Ngifake amazwi ami emlonyeni wakho ngakwembesa ngomthunzi wesandla sami, mina engabeka amazulu endaweni yawo, ngabeka izisekelo zomhlaba, njalo othi kuZiyoni, ‘Lina lingabantu bami.’”
Ntadde ebigambo byange mu kamwa ko, era nkubisse mu kisiikirize ky’omukono gwange. Nze nakola eggulu ne nteekawo emisingi gy’ensi; era nze wuuyo agamba Sayuuni nti, ‘Muli bantu bange!’”
17 Vuka, vuka! Phakama wena Jerusalema, wena onathe enkezweni esandleni sikaThixo inkezo yolaka lwakhe, wena oyikhoce wafika enzeceni zayo; inkezo eyenza amadoda adiyazele.
Zuukuka, zuukuka, oyimirire ggwe Yerusaalemi eyanywa okuva eri Mukama ekikompe eky’obusungu bwe, eyanywa n’omaliramu ddala ekibya ekitagaza.
18 Kuwo wonke amadodana eliwazeleyo, kayikho eyayingalikhokhela; kuwo wonke amadodana elawondlayo, kayikho eyayingalibamba ngesandla.
Ku baana aboobulenzi bonna be yazaala tewali n’omu wa kumukulembera. Ku baana bonna aboobulenzi be yakuza tewali n’omu wa kumukwata ku mukono.
19 Lezizingozi ezimbili zikwehlele; ngubani ongakududuza na? Incithakalo lokubhujiswa, indlala lenkemba, ngubani ongakududuza na?
Ebintu bino ebibiri bikuguddeko ani anaakunakuwalirako? Okuzika n’okuzikirira, enjala, n’ekitala, ani anaakubeesabeesa?
20 Amadodana akho asephele amandla, aselala ezihlokweni zemigwaqo yonke njengebhalabhala elibanjwe ngumambule. Agcwele ulaka lukaThixo lokukhuza kukaNkulunkulu wakho.
Batabani bo bazirise, bagudde ku buli nsonda y’oluguudo ng’engabi egudde mu kitimba. Babuutikiddwa ekiruyi kya Mukama, n’okunenyezebwa kwa Katonda wo.
21 Ngakho-ke zwana lokhu wena ohluphekayo, lodakisiweyo kodwa kungasingewayini.
Noolwekyo wulira kino ggwe, atamidde naye si lwa mwenge.
22 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi bakho, uNkulunkulu wakho ovikela abantu bakhe: “Khangela, sengiyisusile esandleni sakho inkezo ekwenza udiyazele; leyonkezo engeyolaka lwami, awuyikunatha ngayo futhi.
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna, Katonda wo alwanirira abantu be. “Laba mbaggyeeko ekikompe kye nabawa olw’ekiruyi kye nalina, ekyabatagaza. Temuliddayo kukinywa nate.
23 Ngizayibeka ezandleni zabakuhluphayo, abathi kuwe, ‘Cambalala ukuze sihambe phezu kwakho.’ Wena-ke wenza umhlane wakho waba njengenhlabathi, lanjengomgwaqo okungahanjwa kuwo.”
Ndikiteeka mu mikono gy’abo abaababonyaabonya abaabagamba nti, ‘Mugwe wansi mwegolole tubatambulireko.’ Emigongo gyammwe gibe ng’ettaka, ng’oluguudo olw’okulinnyirira.”
