U-Isaya 42
1 Khangela inceku yami, engiyisekelayo, umkhethwa wami, othokoza ngaye umphefumulo wami; ngibekile uMoya wami phezu kwakhe; uzavezela izizwe isahlulelo.
Laba omuweereza wange gwe mpanirira, omulonde wange gwe nsanyukira ennyo. Ndimuwa Omwoyo wange era alireeta obwenkanya eri amawanga.
2 Kayikumemeza, kayikuphakamisa ilizwi, kayikwenza ilizwi lakhe lizwakale esitaladeni.
Talireekaana wadde okuyimusa eddoboozi lye mu luguudo.
3 Umhlanga ofecekileyo kayikuwephula, lentambo yesibane ethunqayo kayikuyicitsha; uzaveza isahlulelo ngeqiniso.
Talimenya lumuli lubetentefu oba okuzikiza olutambi olwaka empola ennyo; mu bwesigwa alireeta obwenkanya.
4 Kayikudinwa, kayikwephulwa, aze amise isahlulelo emhlabeni; lezihlenge zizalindela umlayo wakhe.
Taliremererwa oba okuggwaamu essuubi okutuusa ng’aleesewo obutebenkevu ku nsi. N’ebizinga eby’ewala biririndirira amateeka ge.
5 Utsho njalo uNkulunkulu iNkosi, owadala amazulu, wawelula, owendlala umhlaba lalokho okuphuma kuwo, onika abantu abakuwo ukuphefumula, lomoya kulabo abahamba kuwo.
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, eyatonda eggulu n’alibamba. Eyayanjuluza ensi ne byonna ebigivaamu; awa omukka abantu baakwo era n’obulamu eri bonna abagitambulirako.
6 Mina Nkosi ngikubizile ngokulunga, ngizabamba isandla sakho, ngikulondoloze, ngikunike ube yisivumelwano sabantu, ube yikukhanya kwabezizwe.
“Nze Mukama, nakuyita mu butuukirivu. Ndikukwata ku mukono era ndikukuuma. Ndikufuula okuba endagaano eri abantu, era omusana eri bannamawanga.
7 Ukuthi uvule amehlo eziphofu, ukuthi ukhuphe izibotshwa entolongweni, labahlezi emnyameni endlini yezibotshwa.
Okuzibula amaaso g’abazibe, okuta abasibe okuva mu makomera n’okuggya abo abali mu bunnya, abo abali mu kizikiza.
8 NgiyiNkosi, lelo libizo lami; lodumo lwami kangiyikulunika omunye, kumbe indumiso yami ezithombeni ezibaziweyo.
“Nze Mukama, eryo lye linnya lyange, n’ekitiibwa kyange sirikiwa mulala, newaakubadde ettendo lyange okukiwa bakatonda abalala.
9 Khangela, izinto zamandulo sezifikile; sengimemezela izinto ezintsha; zingakahlumi ngilitshela ngazo.
Laba, ebyo bye nagamba nti biribaawo bituuse, kaakano mbabuulira ku bigenda okujja; mbibategeeza nga tebinnabaawo.”
10 Hlabelelani iNkosi ingoma entsha, indumiso zayo kusukela emkhawulweni womhlaba; lina elehlela elwandle, lokugcwala kwalo, zihlenge, labahlali bazo.
Muyimbire Mukama oluyimba oluggya, ettendo lye okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi! Mmwe abasaabala ku nnyanja ne byonna ebigirimu, mmwe ebizinga ne bonna ababibeeramu.
11 Kakuthi inkangala lemizi yayo kuphakamise ilizwi, lemizi uKedari ahlala kuyo; kakuthi abahlali bedwala bahlabelele, bamemeze besengqongeni yezintaba.
Leka eddungu n’ebibuga byamu biyimuse amaloboozi gaabyo, ebyalo Kedali mw’atuula. Leka abantu b’e Seera bayimbe n’essanyu. Leka baleekaanire waggulu ku ntikko z’ensozi.
12 Kabayinike udumo iNkosi, bamemezele indumiso yayo ezihlengeni.
Leka Mukama bamuwe ekitiibwa era balangirire ettendo lye mu bizinga.
13 INkosi izaphuma njengeqhawe, ivuselele ukutshiseka njengendoda yempi; izamemeza, yebo iklabalale, izinqobe izitha zayo.
Mukama, anafuluma okulwana ng’omutabaazi ow’amaanyi, era ng’omutabaazi ow’amaanyi alijja yeeswanta, n’okuleekaana ng’alangirira olutalo. Era aliwangula abalabe be.
14 Kwasendulo ngithule, ngathi zwi, ngazibamba; ngizakhala njengowesifazana obelethayo; ngiphefuzele, ngikhefuzele kanyekanye.
“Ebbanga ggwanvu nga siriiko kye ŋŋamba, nga nsirise neekuumye. Naye okufaanana ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala, nkaaba, mpejjawejja era nzisa ebikkowe.
15 Ngizabhidliza izintaba lamaqaqa, ngomise konke okuluhlaza kwazo, ngenze imifula ibe yizihlenge, ngomise amachibi.
Ndizikiriza ensozi n’obusozi, egyo emiddo gyakwo gyonna ndi wakugiwotosa. Era ndikaza ebinywa byabwe byonna n’emigga ndigifuula ebizinga.
16 Njalo ngizakwenza iziphofu zihambe ngendlela ezingayaziyo, ngizikhokhelele emikhondweni ezingayaziyo; ngizakwenza umnyama ube yikukhanya phambi kwazo, lezinto ezigobileyo ziqonde; lezizinto ngizazenza kuzo, ngingaziyekeli.
Era ndikulembera abantu bange abazibe ba maaso mu kkubo lye batamanyi n’abayise mbaluŋŋamize mu makubo ge batamanyidde. Ndifuula ekizikiza okuba omusana mu maaso gaabwe n’ebifo ebizibu okuyitamu ndibirongoosa. Ebyo by’ebintu bye ndikola, sirireka bantu bange.
17 Bazabuyiselwa emuva, bayangeke ngenhloni abathembela ezithombeni ezibaziweyo, abathi ezithombeni ezibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa: Lingonkulunkulu bethu.
Naye abo abeesiga bakatonda abalala, ababagamba nti, ‘Mwe bakatonda baffe,’ balikwasibwa ensonyi, era baligobebwa, mu buswavu obungi.”
18 Zwanini lina zacuthe, lani ziphofu likhangele, ukuze libone.
“Muwulire mmwe bakiggala, mutunule mmwe bamuzibe, mulabe.
19 Ngubani oyisiphofu ngaphandle kwenceku yami, kumbe oyisacuthe njengesithunywa sami engisithumayo? Ngubani oyisiphofu njengopheleleyo, loyisiphofu njengenceku yeNkosi?
Ani muzibe okuggyako omuweereza wange, oba kiggala okuggyako omubaka wange gwe ntuma? Eriyo eyaziba amaaso asinga oyo eyeewaayo gye ndi, oba omuzibe ng’omuweereza wa Mukama?
20 Wena ubona izinto ezinengi, kodwa ungaziqaphelisi; yena uvula izindlebe, kodwa kezwa.
Olabye ebintu bingi naye tobifuddeko, amatu go maggule naye tolina ky’owulira.”
21 INkosi iyathokoza ngenxa yokulunga kwayo; ikhulise umlayo, iwenze ube lodumo.
Kyasanyusa Mukama olw’obulungi obw’obutuukirivu bwe okukuza amateeka ge n’okugassaamu ekitiibwa.
22 Kodwa laba ngabantu abantshontshelwayo baphangwa, bonke bathiyiwe emigodini, bafihlwa ezintolongweni; bangabokuphangwa, njalo kungekho okhululayo; bayimpango, njalo kungabikho othi: Buyisela.
Naye bano, bantu be, ababbibwa ne banyagibwa bonna ne basibibwa mu binnya oba abasibibwa mu makomera. Bafuuka munyago nga tewali n’omu abanunula, bafuuliddwa abanyage nga tewali n’omu agamba nti, “Bateebwe baddeyo.”
23 Ngubani phakathi kwenu ozabeka indlebe kulokhu, ozalalela azwe esikhathini esizayo?
Ani ku mmwe anaawuliriza kino, oba anaafaayo ennyo n’awuliriza mu biro ebigenda okujja?
24 Ngubani owanikela uJakobe ekuphangweni, loIsrayeli kubaphangi? Kwakungeyisiyo yini iNkosi esone kuyo? Ngoba bengavumanga ukuhamba endleleni zayo, njalo bengalalelanga umlayo wayo.
Ani eyawaayo Yakobo okuba omunyago ne Isirayiri eri abanyazi? Teyali Mukama gwe twayonoona? Ekyo yakikola kubanga tebaagoberera makubo ge. Tebaagondera mateeka ge.
25 Ngakho yathululela phezu kwakhe ukuvutha kolaka lwayo, lamandla empi; njalo kwamthungela ngomlilo inhlangothi zonke, kodwa kakwazanga; kwamtshisa, kodwa kakubekanga enhliziyweni.
Kyeyava abafukako obusungu bwe obubuubuuka n’obulumi bw’entalo. Beebungululwa ennimi z’omuliro naye tebaategeera. Gwabookya naye ne batakissaako mwoyo.
