U-Isaya 45
1 Itsho njalo iNkosi kogcotshiweyo wayo, kuKoresi, osandla sakhe sokunene ngisibambile ukuze ngehlisele phansi izizwe phambi kwakhe; ngithukulule izinkalo zamakhosi, ukuvula phambi kwakhe amasango alezivalo ezimbili, lamasango angavalwa.
“Bw’ati Mukama bw’agamba Kuulo gwe yafukako amafuta, oyo gwe mpadde amaanyi mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo okujeemulula amawanga mu maaso ge era n’okwambula bakabaka ebyokulwanyisa byabwe, okuggulawo enzigi ezimuli mu maaso, emiryango eminene gireme kuggalwawo.
2 Mina ngizahamba phambi kwakho, ngenze indawo ezigobileyo ziqonde, ngiphahlaze izivalo zethusi, ngiqume phakathi imigoqo yensimbi.
Ndikukulembera ne ntereeza ebifo ebigulumivu. Ndimenyaamenya emiryango egy’ebikomo ne ntemaatema ebisiba eby’ekyuma.
3 Ngizakunika okuligugu kobumnyama, lenotho ethukuziweyo yezindawo ezisithekileyo, ukuze wazi ukuthi mina Nkosi, engikubiza ngebizo lakho, nginguNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
Era ndikuwa obugagga obwakwekebwa mu bifo ebyekusifu era n’ebintu ebyakwekebwa mu bifo ebyekyama olyoke omanye nga nze Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri akuyitira ddala erinnya lyo.
4 Ngenxa yenceku yami uJakobe, loIsrayeli umkhethwa wami, ngikubizile ngitsho ngebizo lakho, ngakunika isibongo, lanxa ungangazanga.
Ku lwa Yakobo omuweereza wange ne ku lwa Isirayiri omulonde wange kyenvudde nkuyita erinnya, ne nkuwa ekitiibwa wadde nga tonzisaako mwoyo.
5 NgiyiNkosi, njalo kakho omunye, ngaphandle kwami kakulaNkulunkulu; ngikubhincisile lanxa ungangazanga.
Nze Mukama, tewali mulala. Tewali katonda mulala wabula nze. Ndikuwa amaanyi wadde nga tonzisaako mwoyo,
6 Ukuze bazi kusukela lapho eliphuma khona ilanga, njalo kusukela entshonalanga, ukuthi kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami; ngiyiNkosi, njalo kakho omunye.
balyoke bamanye nga okuva enjuba gy’eva okutuuka gyegenda tewali mulala wabula nze. Nze Mukama, tewali mulala.
7 Ngibumba ukukhanya, ngidale umnyama; ngenza ukuthula, ngidale ububi; mina Nkosi ngenza zonke lezizinto.
Nze nteekawo ekitangaala ne ntonda ekizikiza. Nze ndeeta okukulaakulana n’okubonaabona. Nze Mukama akola ebyo byonna.
8 Thontisani, mazulu, kuvela phezulu, lamayezi athulule ukulunga; umhlaba kawuvuleke, njalo kuthele usindiso, njalo kakuthi ukulunga kumile kanyekanye; mina Nkosi ngikudalile.
“Mmwe eggulu eriri waggulu, mutonnyese obutuukirivu. Ebire bitonnyese obutuukirivu. Ensi egguke n’obulokozi bumeruke, ereete obutuukirivu. Nze Mukama nze nagitonda.
9 Maye kuye ophikisana loMbumbi wakhe, udengezi lezindengezi zomhlabathi! Ibumba lizakutsho yini kolibumbayo ukuthi: Wenzani? kumbe: Umsebenzi wakho, kawulazandla yini?
“Zimusanze oyo ayomba n’omutonzi we! Zimusanze oyo oluggyo mu nzigyo z’ensi. Bbumba ki eribuuza oyo alibumba nti, ‘Obumba ki?’ Oba omulimu gwo okukubuuza nti, ‘Aliko emikono?’
10 Maye kuye othi kuyise: Uzalani? kumbe kowesifazana: Ubeletheni?
Zimusanze oyo agamba kitaawe nti, ‘Wazaala ki?’ Oba nnyina nti, ‘Kiki ky’ozadde?’
11 Itsho njalo iNkosi, oNgcwele kaIsrayeli, loMbumbi wakhe: Buzani kimi ngezinto ezizayo, ngamadodana ami, langomsebenzi wezandla zami liyangilaya.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri era Omutonzi we nti, ‘Lwaki mumbuuza ebigenda okujja, oba ebikwata ku baana bange, oba okumpa ebiragiro ku bikwata ku mirimu gy’emikono gyange?’
12 Mina ngiwenzile umhlaba, ngadala umuntu phezu kwawo; mina, izandla zami zendlale amazulu, ngalawula amabutho awo wonke.
Nze nakola ensi ne ngitonderamu abantu. Emikono gyange gyennyini gye gyayanjuluza eggulu, era ne ndagira eby’omu bwengula byonna bitondebwewo.
13 Mina ngimvusile ngokulunga, njalo ngizaqondisa zonke izindlela zakhe; yena uzakwakha umuzi wami, akhulule abathunjiweyo bami, hatshi ngentengo njalo hatshi ngesivalamlomo, kutsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Ndiyimusa Kuulo mu butuukirivu era nditereeza amakubo ge gonna. Alizimba ekibuga kyange n’asumulula abantu bange abaawaŋŋangusibwa; naye si lwa mpeera oba ekirabo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
14 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Umsebenzi weGibhithe, lokuthengiswayo kweEthiyophiya lokwamaShebha, amadoda amade, kuzadlulela kuwe, kuzakuba ngokwakho; bazakulandela, bedlule besemaketaneni, bakhothame kuwe, balabhele kuwe besithi: Isibili uNkulunkulu ukuwe, njalo kakho omunye, kakho omunye uNkulunkulu.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Ebiva mu Misiri n’ebyamaguzi bya Kuusi birireetebwa, n’abo Abasabeya abawanvu balijja babeere abaddu bo, bajje nga bakugoberera nga basibiddwa mu njegere. Balikuvuunamira bakwegayirire nga bagamba nti, ‘Ddala Katonda ali naawe, ye Katonda yekka, tewali Katonda mulala.’”
15 Isibili unguNkulunkulu ozifihlayo, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli, uMsindisi.
Ddala oli Katonda eyeekweka, ggwe Katonda wa Isirayiri era Omulokozi we.
16 Bazayangeka, ngitsho babe lenhloni, bonke; bazahamba belehlazo kanyekanye ababazi bezithombe.
Bonna abakola bakatonda abakole n’emikono baliswazibwa, balikwatibwa ensonyi, bonna balikwata ekkubo limu nga baswadde.
17 Kodwa uIsrayeli uzasindiswa eNkosini ngosindiso olulaphakade; kaliyikuyangeka, kaliyikuba lenhloni, kuze kube nini lanini.
Naye Isirayiri alirokolebwa Mukama n’obulokozi obutaliggwaawo. Temuukwatibwenga nsonyi, temuuswalenga emirembe gyonna.
18 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi eyadala amazulu, yona enguNkulunkulu, eyabumba umhlaba yawenza; yona yawumisa, ingawudalelanga ize, yawubumbela ukuze kuhlalwe kuwo: NgiyiNkosi, njalo kakho omunye.
Kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama eyatonda eggulu, ye Katonda eyabumba ensi n’agikola. Ye yassaawo emisingi gyayo. Teyagitonda kubeera nkalu naye yagikola etuulwemu. Ye yagamba nti, “Nze Mukama so tewali mulala.
19 Kangikhulumelanga ekusithekeni, endaweni emnyama yomhlaba; kangitshongo kuyo inzalo kaJakobe ukuthi: Ngidingani ngeze. Mina Nkosi ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngimemezela izinto eziqotho.
Soogereranga mu kyama, oba mu nsi eyeekizikiza. Sigambanga bazzukulu ba Yakobo nti, ‘Munoonyeze bwereere.’ Nze Mukama njogera mazima, mbuulira ebigambo eby’ensonga.
20 Buthanani libuye; sondelani kanyekanye, lina elaphunyuka ezizweni; abathwala izigodo zezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo kabazi, abakhuleka kunkulunkulu ongelakusindisa.
“Mwekuŋŋaanye mujje, mukuŋŋaane, mmwe abasigaddewo mu mawanga. Tebalina magezi abo abasitula ebifaananyi ebibajje, abasaba eri katonda atasobola kubalokola.
21 Tshelani, libasondeze; yebo kabacebisane kanyekanye: Ngubani owazwakalisa lokhu kwasendulo? Owakukhulumayo kusukela kulesosikhathi na? Kakusimi iNkosi yini? Njalo kakho omunye uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami, uNkulunkulu olungileyo loMsindisi; kakho ngaphandle kwami.
Mukuŋŋaane muleete ensonga zammwe. Muteese muyambagane. Ani eyayogera nti kino kiribaawo? Ani eyakyogerako edda? Si nze Mukama? Tewali Katonda mulala wabula nze, Katonda omutuukirivu era Omulokozi, tewali mulala wabula nze.
22 Khangelani kimi, lisindiswe, lina lonke mikhawulo yomhlaba; ngoba nginguNkulunkulu, njalo kakho omunye.
“Mudde gye ndi, mulokoke, mmwe mwenna abali ku nkomerero z’ensi, kubanga nze Katonda so tewali mulala.
23 Ngizifungile mina, ilizwi liphumile emlonyeni wami ngokulunga, njalo kaliyikuphenduka, elithi: Kimi lonke idolo lizaguqa, lonke ulimi luzafunga.
Neerayiridde, ekigambo kivudde mu kamwa kange mu mazima so tekiriggibwawo mu maaso gange. Buli vviivi lirifukamira, na buli lulimi lulirayira!
24 Ngeqiniso, omunye uzakuthi: ENkosini ngilokulunga lamandla; kuyo bazakuza; kodwa bonke abayithukuthelelayo bazayangeka.
Balinjogerako nti, ‘Mu Mukama mwokka mwe muli obutuukirivu n’amaanyi.’” Bonna abaamusunguwalira balijja gy’ali nga baswadde.
25 ENkosini yonke inzalo yakoIsrayeli izalungisiswa, izincome.
Naye mu Mukama ezzadde lyonna erya Isirayiri mwe liriweerwa obutuukirivu era mwe liryenyumiririza.
