U-Isaya 61
1 Umoya kaThixo Wobukhosi uphezu kwami, ngoba uThixo ungigcobile ukuba ngitshumayele izindaba ezinhle kwabampofu. Ungithumile ukuba ngibophe inhliziyo ezidabukileyo, ngimemezele ukukhululwa kwabathunjiweyo, lokukhululwa kwezibotshwa emnyameni,
Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda ali ku nze, kubanga Mukama anfuseeko amafuta okubuulira abaavu n’abali obubi ebigambo ebirungi, antumye okuyimusa abalina emitima egimenyese. Okulangirira eddembe eri abawambe, n’abasibe bateebwe bave mu makomera.
2 lokumemezela umnyaka womusa kaThixo, losuku lokuphindisela kukaNkulunkulu wethu; ukududuza abalilayo,
Okulangirira omwaka gwa Mukama ogw’okulabiramu obulungi bwe; olunaku lwa Mukama olw’okuwalanirako eggwanga era n’okuzzaamu amaanyi abo bonna abakungubaga.
3 lokunakekela labo abadabukileyo eZiyoni, ukubapha umqhele wobuhle esikhundleni somlotha, amafutha okujabula esikhundleni sokulila, lengubo yokudumisa esikhundleni somoya wokulahla ithemba. Bazabizwa ngokuthi yimʼokhi yokulunga, ehlanyelwe nguThixo ukuba abonakalise inkazimulo yakhe.
Okugabirira abo bonna abali mu Sayuuni abakungubaga, okubawa engule ey’obubalagavu mu kifo ky’evvu, n’amafuta ag’essanyu mu kifo ky’ennaku. Ekyambalo ky’okutendereza mu kifo ky’omwoyo w’okukeŋŋeentererwa balyoke bayitibwe miti gy’abutuukirivu, ebisimbe bya Mukama, balyoke baweebwe ekitiibwa.
4 Bazavuselela njalo amanxiwa asendulo bavuse lezindawo ezadilizwa kudala. Bazavuselela amadolobho adilikayo aleminyaka eminengi adilika.
Baliddamu bazimbe ebyali bizise, balirongoosa ebibuga ebyali byerabirwa edda.
5 Abezizwe bazakwelusa imihlambi yenu; abezizwe bazalima amasimu enu lezivini zenu.
Abaamawanga balibalundira ebisibo byammwe, abagwira babakolere mu nnimiro zammwe ne mu nnimiro z’emizabbibu.
6 Lizabizwa ngokuthi abaphristi bakaThixo, kuzathiwa liyizikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu. Lizakudla inotho yezizwe, lizincome ngenotho yazo.
Era muyitibwe bakabona ba Mukama, abantu baliboogerako ng’abaweereza ba Mukama, mulirya obugagga bw’amawanga, era mu bugagga bwabwe mwe mulyenyumiririza.
7 Esikhundleni sehlazo labo abantu bami bazaphiwa isabelo esiphindwe kabili, njalo esikhundleni sokuyangeka bazathokoza ngelifa labo; ngakho isabelo selifa labo elizweni sizaphindwa kabili, lentokozo engapheliyo izakuba ngeyabo.
Mu kifo ky’ensonyi, abantu bange baliddizibwawo emirundi ebiri. Mu kifo ky’okuswala basanyuke olw’ebyo bye balifuna era balifuna omugabo gwa mirundi ebiri, essanyu lyabwe liribeerera emirembe gyonna.
8 “Ngoba mina, uThixo, ngithanda ukulunga, ngizonda ubugebenga lobubi. Ngobuqotho bami ngizabanika umvuzo ngenze isivumelwano esingapheliyo labo.
“Kubanga nze, Mukama, njagala obwenkanya, nkyawa okunyaga era n’obutali butuukirivu. Mu bwesigwa bwange ndibasasula era nkole nabo endagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.
9 Izizukulwane zabo zizakwaziwa phakathi kwezizwe, lenzalo yabo yaziwe phakathi kwabantu. Bonke abababonayo bazavuma ukuthi bangabantu ababusiswe nguThixo.”
N’ezzadde lyabwe liritutumuka nnyo mu mawanga n’abaana baabwe eri abantu. Abo bonna abalibalaba balibamanya, nti bantu Mukama be yawa omukisa.”
10 Ngiyathokoza kakhulu kuThixo; umphefumulo wami uyajabula ngoNkulunkulu wami. Ngoba ungigqokise izigqoko zokusindiswa, wangicecisa ngezembatho zokulunga, njengomyeni ececisa ikhanda lakhe njengomphristi, lanjengomlobokazi ezicecise ngamatshe akhe aligugu.
Nsanyukira nnyo mu Mukama, emmeeme yange esanyukira mu Katonda wange. Kubanga annyambazizza ebyambalo eby’obulokozi era n’anteekako n’omunagiro ogw’obutuukirivu, ng’omugole omusajja bw’ayambala engule nga kabona, ng’omugole omukazi bw’ayambala amayinja ge ag’omuwendo.
11 Ngoba njengomhlabathi owenza ihlumela limile, lesivande esenza inhlanyelo ikhule, ngokunjalo uThixo Wobukhosi uzakwenza ukulunga lodumo kuvele phambi kwezizwe zonke.
Kuba nga ettaka bwe livaamu ebimera, era ng’ennimiro bwereetera ensigo okumeruka, bw’atyo Mukama Katonda bwalireeta obutuukirivu n’ettendo okumeruka, ensi zonna zikirabe.
