U-Isaya 60
1 “Vuka, khazimula, ngoba ukukhanya kwakho sekufikile, lenkazimulo kaThixo iyavela phezu kwakho.
“Yimuka, oyake, kubanga ekitangaala kyo kizze kyase era ekitiibwa kya Mukama kikwakirako.
2 Khangela, umnyama wembese umhlaba, umnyama omkhulu usibekele abantu. Kodwa uThixo uyakhanya phezu kwakho lenkazimulo yakhe iyabonakala phezu kwakho.
Kubanga laba ensi eribikkibwa ekizikiza era n’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo kibikke abantu baamawanga gonna, naye ggwe Mukama alikwakirako era ekitiibwa kye kikulabikeko.
3 Izizwe zizakuza ekukhanyeni kwakho, lamakhosi alande ukuqhama kokusa kwakho.
Amawanga galijja eri omusana gwo ne bakabaka eri okumasamasa okunaakubangako ng’ojja.
4 Phakamisa amehlo akho ukhangele amacele akho wonke: bonke babuthana beze kuwe; amadodana akho avela khatshana, lamadodakazi akho athwelwe ngengalo.
“Yimusa amaaso go olabe; abantu bo bonna bakuŋŋaana okujja gy’oli batabani bo abava ewala ne bawala bo abasituliddwa mu mikono.
5 Ngakho uzakhangela ubobotheke ngokujabula, inhliziyo yakho izatshaya ikhukhumale ngenxa yentokozo; inotho yasolwandle izalethwa kuwe, lenotho yezizwe izakuza kuwe.
Kino oli wakukirabako ojjule essanyu, omutima gwo, gujjule okweyagala n’okujaguza. Obugagga bw’amawanga bulyoke bukuleetebwe, era n’ebirungi byonna eby’omu nnyanja birikweyuna.
6 Imihlambi yamakamela izagcwala elizweni lakho, amakamela asakhulayo aseMidiyani lase-Efa. Wonke avela eShebha azakuza ethwele igolide lempepha ememezela udumo lukaThixo.
Ebisibo by’eŋŋamira birijjula ensi yammwe, eŋŋamira ento ez’e Midiyaani ne Efa. Era ne zonna ez’e Seba zirijja nga zeetisse zaabu n’obubaane okulangirira ettendo lya Katonda.
7 Yonke imihlambi yaseKhedari izabuthelwa kuwe; inqama zaseNebhayothi zizakusiza; zizakwamukeleka njengeminikelo e-alithareni lami, njalo ngizahlobisa ithempeli lami elilodumo.
N’ebisibo byonna eby’e Kedali birikukuŋŋanyizibwa, endiga ennume ez’e Nebayoosi zirikuweereza. Zirikkirizibwa ng’ekiweebwayo ku kyoto kyange era ndyolesa ekitiibwa kyange mu yeekaalu yange.
8 Ngobani laba abandiza njengamayezi lanjengamajuba esiya ezidlekeni zawo na?
“Bano baani abaseyeeya nga ebire, ng’amayiba agadda mu bisu byago?
9 Ngeqiniso izihlenge zithembe mina; ekhokheleyo yimikhumbi yaseThashishi, iletha amadodana akho avela khatshana, lesiliva sawo kanye legolide ukuba kudunyiswe uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, oNgcwele ka-Israyeli, ngoba ukunike inkazimulo.
Ddala ddala ebizinga bitunuulidde nze; ebidyeri by’e Talusiisi bye bikulembedde bireete batabani bammwe okubaggya ewala awamu ne zaabu yaabwe ne ffeeza, olw’ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda wammwe, Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri, kubanga akufudde ow’ekitiibwa.
10 Abezizwe bazayakha futhi imiduli yakho, lamakhosi abo azakukhonza. Lanxa ekuthukutheleni kwami ngakutshaya, kodwa ngomusa wami ngizakuba lesihawu kuwe.
“Abaana b’abamawanga amalala balizimba bbugwe wo, era bakabaka baabwe bakuweereze; Olw’obusungu bwange, nakukuba, naye mu kusaasira kwange ndikukwatirwa ekisa.
11 Amasango akho azahlala evulekile; kawayikuvalwa emini loba ebusuku ukuze abantu bakulethele inotho yezizwe, amakhosi azo ekhokhelwe ludwendwe lokunqoba.
Emiryango gyo ginaabanga miggule bulijjo, emisana n’ekiro tegiggalwenga, abantu balyoke bakuleeterenga obugagga obw’amawanga gaabwe nga bakulembeddwamu bakabaka baabwe.
12 Ngoba isizwe kumbe umbuso ongayikukukhonza uzatshabalala; uzachitheka uphele nya.
Kubanga eggwanga oba obwakabaka ebitakuweereze byakuzikirira. Ensi ezo zijja kuggweerawo ddala.
13 Udumo lwaseLebhanoni luzakuza kuwe; zonke izihlahla ezamaphayini, umfiri lomsiphresi, ukuzehlobisa indlu yami engcwele; lendawo yezinyawo zami ngizayenza ikhazimule.
“Ekitiibwa kya Lebanooni kirikujjira, emiti egy’ettendo egy’enfugo, omuyovu ne namukago gireetebwe okutukuza ekifo eky’awatukuvu wange, ekifo ebigere byange we biwummulira eky’ettendo.
14 Amadodana abancindezeli bakho azakuza akhothame phambi kwakho; bonke abakweyisayo bazakhothamela phansi ezinyaweni zakho, njalo bazakubiza ngokuthi iDolobho likaThixo, iZiyoni yakhe oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
Batabani baabo abaakunyigirizanga balijja okukuvuunamira; era bonna abaakusekereranga balivuunamira ku bigere byo. Balikuyita kibuga kya Katonda, Sayuuni ey’Omutukuvu wa Katonda.
15 Lanxa ubulahliwe, uzondakala, kungekho ohamba edabula phakathi kwakho, ngizakwenza ube ligugu elingapheliyo, uthokozise izizukulwane zonke.
“Wadde nga wali olekeddwa awo ng’okyayibbwa, nga tewali n’omu akuyitamu, ndikufuula ow’ettendo, essanyu ery’emirembe gyonna.
16 Uzanatha uchago lwezizwe, umunyiswe emabeleni asesikhosini. Lapho-ke uzakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo, uMsilisi wakho, uMhlengi wakho, uMninimandla kaJakhobe.
Olinywa amata ag’amawanga. Ku mabeere ga bakungu kw’onooyonkanga, era olimanyira ddala nti, Nze, nze Mukama, nze Mulokozi wo era Omununuzi wo, ow’Amaanyi owa Yakobo.
17 Esikhundleni sethusi ngizakulethela igolide, lesiliva esikhundleni sensimbi. Esikhundleni sezigodo ngizakulethela ithusi, lensimbi esikhundleni samatshe. Ngizakwenza ukuthula kube ngumbusi wakho, lokulunga kube yinkosi yakho.
Mu kifo ky’ekikomo ndireeta zaabu, mu kifo ky’ekyuma ndireeta effeeza, mu kifo ky’omuti ndireeta kikomo, ne mu kifo ky’amayinja ndeete ekyuma. Emirembe gye girifuuka omufuzi wo n’obutuukirivu ne buba omukulembeze wo.
18 Akusayikuba lodlakela elizweni lakho, akusayikuba khona ukuchitheka loba ukutshabalala phakathi kwelizwe lakini, kodwa uzakuthi imiduli yakho yiNsindiso, lamasango akho uthi yiNdumiso.
Okutabukatabuka tekuddeyo kuwulirwa mu nsi yo, wadde okwonoona n’okuzikiriza munda mu nsalo zo. Ebisenge byo olibiyita Bulokozi, Era n’enzigi zo, Kutendereza.
19 Ilanga kalisayikuba yikukhanya kwakho emini loba ukukhanya kwenyanga kukukhanyise, ngoba uThixo uzakuba yikukhanya kwakho okungapheliyo, loNkulunkulu wakho abe yinkazimulo yakho.
Enjuba si yeenekumulisizanga emisana, oba omwezi okukumulisizanga ekiro. Kubanga Mukama y’anaabeeranga ekitangaala kyo eky’emirembe n’emirembe, era Katonda wo y’anaabeeranga ekitiibwa kyo.
20 Ilanga lakho kaliyikutshona futhi, lenyanga yakho ayisayikufiphala njalo. UThixo uzakuba yikukhanya kwakho okungapheliyo, lezinsuku zakho zezinsizi zizaphela.
Enjuba yo terigwa nate, n’omwezi gwo tegulibula; Mukama y’anaabeeranga ekitangaala kyo eky’emirembe n’emirembe era ennaku zo ez’okukungubanga zikome.
21 Lapho-ke bonke abantu bakho bazakuba ngabalungileyo, lelizwe lizakuba lilifa labo kokuphela. Bangamahlumela engawahlanyelayo, umsebenzi wezandla zami, ukuba ngibonakalise inkazimulo yami.
Abantu bo babeere batuukirivu, ensi ebeere yaabwe emirembe n’emirembe. Ekisimbe kye nnesimbira; omulimu gw’emikono gyange, olw’okulaga ekitiibwa kyange.
22 Ingcosana yakho izakuba yinkulungwane, abancinyane bazakuba yisizwe esilamandla. Mina nginguThixo; ngesikhathi esifaneleyo lokhu ngizakwenza ngokuphangisa.”
Asembayo okuba owa wansi alyala n’aba lukumi, n’asembayo obutono afuuke eggwanga ery’amaanyi. Nze Mukama, ndikyanguya mu biseera byakyo.”
