U-Isaya 59
1 Ngeqiniso ingalo kaThixo kayimfitshane ukuba isindise, lendlebe yakhe kayibuthundu ukuba izwe.
Mulabe, omukono gwa Mukama teguyimpawadde n’okuyinza ne gutayinza kulokola, era si muzibe wa matu nti tawulira.
2 Kodwa ububi benu sebulahlukanise loNkulunkulu wenu; lezono zenu sezisithe ubuso bakhe kini ukuze angezwa.
Naye obutali butuukirivu bwammwe bwe bubaawudde ku Katonda wammwe. Ebibi byammwe bye bimukwesezza amaaso ge, n’atawulira.
3 Ngoba izandla zenu zingcolisiwe ngegazi, leminwe yenu ingcoliswe yibubi. Izindebe zenu zikhulume amanga lolimi lwenu luhlebeza izinto ezimbi.
Kubanga emikono gyammwe gibunye omusaayi n’engalo zammwe zibunye obutali butuukirivu, emimwa gyammwe gyogedde eby’obulimba, n’ennimi zammwe z’ogedde eby’ekko.
4 Kakho odinga ukwahlulela okuhle, kakho okhuluma ecaleni lakhe ngobuqotho. Bathembe ukuphika ngeze bekhuluma amanga; bemula uhlupho, bazale ububi.
Tewali awaaba bya nsonga so tewali awoza mu mazima; Beesiga ensonga ezitaliimu, ne boogera eby’obulimba, ne baleeta emitawaana ne bazaala obulabe.
5 Bachamisela amaqanda ezinhlangwana, beluke ubulembu besayobe. Langabe ngubani odla amaqanda azo uzakufa, njalo nxa elinye lawo lichanyiselwe kuphuma ibululu.
Baalula amagi ag’essalambwa ne balanga ewuzi za nnabbubi: alya ku magi gaabwe afa n’eryo eriba lyatise livaamu mbalasaasa.
6 Ubulembu babo kabusizi ekugqokeni; abangeke bazimboze ngabakwenzayo. Izenzo zabo yizenzo ezimbi, izenzo zodlakela zisezandleni zabo.
Naye enkwe zaabwe ze bakola tezibayamba, ziri ng’engoye enkole mu wuzi za nnabbubi! Tebasobola kuzeebikka. Emirimu gyabwe mirimu gya kwonoona, n’ebikolwa byabwe bulabe.
7 Inyawo zabo zigijimela ukona; bayaphangisa ukuchitha igazi elimsulwa. Imicabango yabo yimicabango emibi; ukuchitha lokubhubhisa kubonakalisa izindlela zabo.
Ebigere byabwe byanguyirira bikole ebibi era bapapirira bayiwe omusaayi ogutalina musango. Ebirowoozo byabwe birowoozo bya bubi, n’okuzika n’okuzikiriza bye biba buli we bagenda.
8 Indlela yokuthula kabayazi; akukho kulunga ezindleleni zabo. Sebenze zaba yimigwaqo ezombelezayo, kakho ohamba ngazo ozakwazi ukuthula.
Ekkubo ery’emirembe tebalimanyi wadde okukozesa obwenkanya mu makubo gaabwe. Beekubidde amakubo, tewali n’omu agayitamu afuna emirembe.
9 Ngakho-ke ukwahlulela okuhle kukhatshana lathi, lokulunga akufiki kithi. Sidinga ukukhanya, kodwa kulobumnyama kuphela; sidinga ukucazimula, kodwa sihamba emathunzini amnyama.
Amazima gatuli wala, n’obutuukirivu tetubufunye. Tunoonyezza omusana naye ekizikiza kitwesibyeko, we tusuubira obutangaavu, tutambulidde mu bisiikirize byereere.
10 Njengeziphofu siphumputha silandela umduli, siphumputhe indlela yethu njengabantu abangelamehlo. Sikhubeka emini ingathi kukusihlwa; kwabalamandla, sinjengabafileyo.
Tuwammantawammanta bbugwe ng’abazibe, ne tukwatakwata ng’abatalina maaso; twesittala mu ttuntu ng’ekiro mu abo abalina amaanyi ne tuba ng’abafu.
11 Sonke siyahwabha njengamabhele, sibubule ngosizi njengamajuba. Sidinga ukwahlulela okuhle, kodwa kasikutholi; sidinga ukuhlengwa, kodwa kukhatshana.
Ffenna tuwuluguma ng’eddubu ne tusinda nga bukaamukuukulu. Tusuubira okuggyibwa mu kunyigirizibwa naye nga bwereere, n’obulokozi butuliwala.
12 Ngoba ukona kwethu kuwe kunengi, lezono zethu zifakaza okubi ngathi. Ukona kwethu kuhlezi kulathi; siyabuvuma ububi bethu,
Kubanga ebisobyo byaffe bingi mu maaso go era ebibi byaffe bitulumiriza, kubanga ebisobyo byaffe biri naffe, era tumanyi obutali butuukirivu bwaffe;
13 ukuhlamuka lokungathembeki kuThixo, ukufulathela uNkulunkulu wethu, ukukhuthaza uncindezelo lomvukela, ukukhuluma amanga esiwacabange ngezinhliziyo zethu.
obujeemu n’enkwe eri Mukama era n’okulekeraawo okugoberera Katonda waffe. Okutegeka obwediimo n’okunyigiriza, okwogera eby’obulimba n’emitima gyaffe bye girowoozezza.
14 Ngakho ukwahlulela okuhle kufuqelwa emuva, ukulunga kume khatshana; iqiniso likhubekile ezindleleni, ubuqotho bungeke bungene.
Obwenkanya buddiridde n’obutuukirivu ne bubeera wala. Amazima geesitalidde mu luguudo, n’obwesimbu tebuyinza kuyingira.
15 Iqiniso kalitholwa ndawo; oxwaya ububi uyahlaselwa. UThixo wakhangela wadaniswa yikuswelakala kokwahlulela okuhle.
Tewali w’oyinza kusanga mazima, era oyo ava ku kibi asuulibwa. Mukama yakiraba n’atasanyuka kubanga tewaali bwenkanya.
16 Wabona ukuthi kwakungelamuntu, wanengwa yikuthi kakho owayengalamula; ngakho waletha ukukhululwa ngamandla akhe, ukulunga kwakhe kwamqinisa.
N’alaba nga tewali muntu, ne yennyamira nti tewali muntu ayinza kudduukirira. Noolwekyo kwe kusalawo okukozesa omukono gwe ye kennyini okuleeta obulokozi n’obutuukirivu bwe okuwangula.
17 Wagqoka ukulunga njengesivikelo sakhe sasesifubeni, lengowane yensindiso ekhanda lakhe; wagqoka izembatho zokuphindisela njalo wazigoqela ngokutshiseka njengokuzigoqela ngengubo.
Yayambala obutuukirivu bwe ng’eky’omu kifuba, era n’enkuufiira ey’obulokozi ku mutwe gwe; n’ateekako ebyambalo by’okuwoolera eggwanga era n’ayambala obunyiikivu ng’omunagiro.
18 Uzaphindisela ulaka ezitheni zakhe, kusiya ngalokho abakwenzileyo; lokujeziswa kwabamelana laye; izihlenge uzaziphindisela ngemfanelo yazo.
Ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri bwalisasula ekiruyi ku balabe be, n’abamukyawa alibawa empeera yaabwe, n’abo abali ewala mu bizinga abasasule.
19 Kusukela entshonalanga abantu bazalesaba ibizo likaThixo, njalo kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga bazadumisa ubukhosi bakhe. Ngoba uzafika njengesikhukhula esifutheleneyo esifuqwa ngumoya kaThixo.
Noolwekyo balitya erinnya lya Mukama okuva ebugwanjuba, n’ekitiibwa kye okuva ebuvanjuba, kubanga alijja ng’omugga ogukulukuta n’amaanyi, omukka gwa Mukama gwe gutwala.
20 “Umhlengi uzafika eZiyoni, kwabakaJakhobe abavuma izono zabo,” kutsho uThixo.
“Era Omununuzi alijja mu Sayuuni, eri abo abeenenya ebibi byabwe mu Yakobo,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
21 “Mina lesi yiso isivumelwano sami labo,” kutsho uThixo. “Umoya wami okuwe, lamazwi ami engiwabeke emlonyeni wakho akuyikusuka emlonyeni wakho, kumbe emilonyeni yabantwabakho, loba emilonyeni yezizukulwane zabo kusukela ngalesisikhathi kuze kube nininini,” kutsho uThixo.
“Era, eno y’endagaano yange gye nkola nabo,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Omwoyo wange ali ku ggwe era n’ebigambo byange bye ntadde mu kamwa ko, tebiivenga mu kamwa ko, oba mu kamwa k’abaana bo, wadde mu kamwa k’abaana b’abaana bo, okuva kaakano okutuusa emirembe n’emirembe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
