U-Isaya 52
1 Vuka, vuka, wena Ziyoni, uzembese ngamandla! Gqoka izigqoko zakho zenkazimulo, wena Jerusalema, muzi ongcwele. Ongasokanga longcolileyo akayikungena kuwe futhi.
Zuukuka, zuukuka, oyambale amaanyi go, ggwe Sayuuni. Ggwe Yerusaalemi ekibuga ekitukuvu, teekako ebyambalo byo ebitemagana. Kubanga okuva leero mu miryango gyo temukyayingira mu atali mukomole n’atali mulongoofu.
2 Thintitha uthuli lwakho; sukuma, uhlale ebukhosini, wena Jerusalema. Zikhulule izibopho ezisentanyeni yakho, wena Ndodakazi ethunjiweyo yaseZiyoni.
Weekunkumuleko enfuufu, yimuka otuule ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka ggwe Yerusaalemi. Weesumulule enjegere mu bulago bwo, ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni eyanyagibwa.
3 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Lathengiswa ngeze, njalo lizahlengwa kungekho mali.”
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Mwatundibwa bwereere era mujja kununulibwa awatali kusasula nsimbi.”
4 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: “Ekuqaleni abantu bami baya eGibhithe besiyahlala khona; muva i-Asiriya yabancindezela.
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna nti, “Omulundi ogwasooka abantu bange baagenda e Misiri okusengayo, oluvannyuma, Omwasuli n’abajooga.
5 Khathesi kuyini engilakho lapha?” kubuza uThixo. “Ngoba abantu bami bathunjwa kungekho sizatho, njalo labo abababusayo bayakloloda,” kutsho uThixo. “Ilanga lonke ibizo lami lihlanjazwa kokuphela.
“Kaakano kiki ate kye ndaba wano? “Kubanga abantu bange baatwalirwa bwereere era abo ababafuga babasekerera,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Erinnya lyange livvoolebwa olunaku lwonna.
6 Ngakho-ke abantu bami bazalazi ibizo lami, ngakho-ke ngalolosuku bazakwazi ukuthi yimi engamemezela lokho ngaphambilini. Yebo, yimi.”
Mu biseera ebijja abantu bange balimmanya. Olunaku lujja lwe balitegeera nga nze nakyogera. Weewaawo, Nze.”
7 Yeka ubuhle phezu kwezintaba, bezinyawo zalabo abaletha izindaba ezinhle, abamemezela ukuthula, abaletha izindaba ezinhle, abamemezela insindiso, abathi kulo iZiyoni, “UNkulunkulu wakho uyabusa!”
Nga birungi ku nsozi ebigere by’oyo aleeta amawulire amalungi, alangirira emirembe, aleeta ebigambo ebirungi, alangirira obulokozi, agamba Sayuuni nti, “Katonda wo afuga.”
8 Lalela! Abalindi bakho baphakamisa amazwi abo, bonke bahlaba umkhosi ngokuthokoza. Lapho uThixo ebuyela eZiyoni bazayibona iZiyoni ngamehlo abo.
Wuliriza! Amaloboozi g’abakuumi bo gawulikika, gayimusiddwa. Bonna awamu bajaguza olw’essanyu. Kubanga okudda kwa Mukama mu Sayuuni balikulaba n’amaaso gaabwe.
9 Hlokomani ndawonye ngezingoma zokuthokoza, lina manxiwa aseJerusalema, ngoba uThixo usebaduduzile abantu bakhe, uselihlengile iJerusalema.
Mubaguke okuyimba ennyimba ez’essanyu mwenna, mmwe ebifo bya Yerusaalemi ebyazika. Kubanga Mukama asanyusizza abantu be, anunudde Yerusaalemi.
10 UThixo uzaveza ingalo yakhe engcwele phambi kwezizwe zonke, njalo yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba izabona insindiso kaNkulunkulu wethu.
Mukama aliraga omukono gwe omutukuvu eri amawanga gonna, bagulabe. Enkomerero z’ensi zonna ziriraba obulokozi bwa Katonda waffe.
11 Sukani, sukani, phumani lapho! Lingathinti lutho olungcolileyo! Phumani kulo libe ngabahlambulukileyo, lina eliphatha izitsha zikaThixo.
Mugende, mugende muveewo awo. Temukwata ku kintu kyonna kitali kirongoofu. Mukifulumemu mubeere balongoofu mmwe abasitula ebyombo bya Mukama.
12 Kodwa kaliyikusuka ngokuphangisa, kumbe libaleka; ngoba uThixo uzahamba phambi kwenu, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uzakuba ngumvikeli wenu emva kwenu.
Naye temulivaamu nga mwanguyiriza so temuligenda nga mudduka; kubanga Mukama alibakulembera abasookeyo; Katonda wa Isirayiri y’alibakuuma.
13 Khangelani, inceku yami izakwenza ngokuhlakanipha, izaphakanyiswa ikhwezwe, iphiwe lodumo olukhulu.
Laba, omuweereza wange by’akola alibikozesa magezi, aliyimusibwa asitulibwe, era assibwemu nnyo ekitiibwa.
14 Njengoba babebanengi abanengwayo yiyo, ubuso bayo babulimele okudlula okwabantu bonke, lesimo sayo sonakele singase njengesomuntu,
Ng’abaamulaba ne bennyamira bwe baali abangi, endabika ye ng’eyonoonese nnyo nga takyafaananika, era ng’eyonoonese evudde ku y’abantu,
15 ngakho-ke izachela izizwe ezinengi, amakhosi azavala imilomo yawo ngenxa yayo. Ngoba lokho abangakutshelwanga bazakubona, labangakuzwanga, bazakuqedisisa.
bw’atyo bw’anawuniikiriza amawanga mangi; bakabaka balibunira ku lulwe; kubanga ekyo ekitababulirwanga balikiraba, era ekyo kye batawulirangako, balikitegeera.
