U-Isaya 51
1 Lalelani kimi, lina elidingisisa ukulunga, lina elidinga iNkosi; khangelani edwaleni elacezulwa kulo, lemlindini wegodi elagejwa kuwo.
“Mumpulirize, mmwe abanoonya obutuukirivu, mmwe abanoonya Mukama: Mutunuulire olwazi lwe mwatemebwako, n’obunnya bw’ekirombe gye mwasimibwa.
2 Khangelani kuAbrahama uyihlo, lakuSara owalizalayo; ngoba ngambiza eyedwa, ngambusisa, ngamandisa.
Mulowooze ku Ibulayimu jjajjammwe ne Saala eyabazaala. Kubanga we namuyitira yali bw’omu ne mmuwa omukisa ne mmwaza.
3 Ngoba iNkosi izayiduduza iZiyoni, iduduze wonke amanxiwa ayo, njalo izakwenza inkangala yayo ifanane leEdeni, logwadule lwayo lufanane lensimu yeNkosi; injabulo lentokozo kuzatholakala kuyo, ukubonga lelizwi lokuhlabelela.
Kubanga ddala Mukama alikubagiza Sayuuni; akwatirwe ekisa ebifo byakyo byonna ebyazika era afuule olukoola lwe lwonna okuba Adeni, n’eddungu libeere ng’ennimiro ya Mukama; Essanyu n’okujaguza biryoke bibeere omwo, okwebaza n’amaloboozi ag’okuyimba.
4 Lalelani kimi, bantu bami, libeke indlebe kimi, sizwe sami; ngoba umlayo uzaphuma kimi, njalo ngizakwenza ukwahlulela kwami kuphumule kube yikukhanya kwabantu.
“Mumpulirize, mmwe abantu bange; era muntegere okutu mmwe ensi yange. Kubanga etteeka lifuluma okuva gye ndi, obwenkanya bwange bubeere omusana eri amawanga.
5 Ukulunga kwami kuseduze, usindiso lwami luphumile, lengalo zami zizakwehlulela abantu; izihlenge zingilindele, zithembele engalweni yami.
Obutuukirivu bwange busembera mangu nnyo, obulokozi bwange buli mu kkubo. Era omukono gwange gujja kuleeta obwenkanya eri amawanga. Ebizinga birinnindirira era birindirire n’essuubi omukono gwange okubirokola.
6 Phakamiselani amehlo enu emazulwini, likhangele emhlabeni phansi; ngoba amazulu azanyamalala njengentuthu, lomhlaba uguge njengesembatho, labahlezi kuwo bafe ngokunjalo; kodwa usindiso lwami luzakuba phakade, lokulunga kwami kakuyikuchithwa.
Muyimuse amaaso gammwe eri eggulu, mutunuulire ensi wansi! Kubanga eggulu lirivaawo ng’omukka n’ensi ekaddiwe ng’ekyambalo. Abagituulamu balifa ng’ensowera. Naye obulokozi bwange bunaabeereranga emirembe gyonna, so n’obutuukirivu bwange tebujjulukukenga.
7 Lalelani kimi, lina elazi ukulunga, abantu abamlayo wami usenhliziyweni yabo; lingesabi ukusola kwabantu, kumbe lethuswe yizithuko zabo.
“Mumpulirize, mmwe abamanyi obutuukirivu, eggwanga eririna amateeka gange mu mitima gyammwe. Temutya kuvumibwa bantu wadde okukeŋŋentererwa olw’okuyomba kwabwe.
8 Ngoba inundu izabadla njengesembatho, lempethu ibadle njengoboya bezimvu, kodwa ukulunga kwami kuzakuba laphakade, losindiso lwami esizukulwaneni lezizukulwana.
Kubanga ennyenje ziribalya nga bwe zirya ebyambalo. N’obuwuka bubalye ng’obulya ebyoya by’endiga. Naye obutuukirivu bwange bunaabeereranga ennaku zonna. Obulokozi bwange bunywere emirembe gyonna.”
9 Vuka, vuka, uzembathise amandla, wena ngalo yeNkosi; vuka njengensukwini zendulo, ezizukulwaneni zaphakade. Kawusuwe yini lowo owaquma iRahabi, wagwaza umgobho?
Zuukuka, zuukuka oyimuke otuyambe Ayi Mukama Katonda. Kozesa amaanyi go otuyambe. Gakozese nga edda. Si ggwe wuuyo eyatemaatemamu Lakabu obufiififi? Si ye ggwe eyafumita ogusota?
10 Kawusuwe yini lowo owomisa ulwandle, amanzi enziki enkulu, owenza ukujula kolwandle kwaba yindlela yokuchapha kwabahlengiweyo?
Si ggwe wuuyo eyakaliza ennyanja, amazzi ag’obuziba obuwanvu ennyo ne gafuuka ekkubo abantu be wanunula bayitewo?
11 Ngakho abahlengiweyo beNkosi bazaphenduka, beze eZiyoni ngokuhlabelela; lentokozo elaphakade izakuba phezu kwekhanda labo; bazazuza intokozo lenjabulo, usizi lokububula kuzabaleka.
N’abo Mukama be wawonya balikomawo ne bajja mu Sayuuni nga bayimba. Essanyu ery’emirembe n’emirembe liriba nga ngule ku mitwe gyabwe. Balisanyuka ne bajaguza; ennaku n’okusinda bibadduke.
12 Mina, mina nginguye oliduduzayo; ungubani wena ozakwesaba umuntu ozakufa, lendodana yomuntu ezakwenziwa ibe njengotshani?
“Nze, nze mwene, nze nzuuno abawa amaanyi. Mmwe baani abatya omuntu alifa, n’omwana w’omuntu ali ng’omuddo,
13 Ubusukhohlwa iNkosi, umenzi wakho, eyendlala amazulu, yabeka izisekelo zomhlaba, uqhubeka usesaba usuku lonke ngenxa yentukuthelo yomcindezeli, kungathi uzimisele ukuchitha? Ingaphi-ke intukuthelo yomcindezeli?
ne weerabira Mukama Omutonzi wo eyabamba eggulu, n’ateekawo n’emisingi gy’ensi, ebbanga lyonna ne mubeera mu kutya obusungu bw’abo abakunyigiriza, oyo eyemalidde mu kuzikiriza? Kubanga kale buliruddawa obulabe bw’oyo abanyigiriza?
14 Isibotshwa esithunjiweyo siyaphangisa ukuze sikhululwe; singafeli emgodini, lokudla kwaso kungasweleki.
Abo be bawamba ne basibibwa banaatera okuteebwa, tebalifiira mu bunnya, era tebalibulwa mmere gye balya.
15 Ngoba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho eyavusa ulwandle ukuze amagagasi alo ahlokome; iNkosi yamabandla libizo layo.
Kubanga nze Mukama Katonda wo, asiikuula amayengo g’ennyanja ne gawuluguma: Mukama ow’Eggye lye linnya lye.
16 Njalo ngifakile amazwi ami emlonyeni wakho, ngakusibekela emthunzini wesandla sami, ukuze ngihlanyele amazulu, ngibeke izisekelo zomhlaba, ngithi kuyo iZiyoni: Wena uyisizwe sami.
Ntadde ebigambo byange mu kamwa ko, era nkubisse mu kisiikirize ky’omukono gwange. Nze nakola eggulu ne nteekawo emisingi gy’ensi; era nze wuuyo agamba Sayuuni nti, ‘Muli bantu bange!’”
17 Vuka, vuka, usukume, Jerusalema, wena onathe esandleni seNkosi inkezo yolaka lwayo, wanatha inzece zenkezo yokudengezela, wazikhoca.
Zuukuka, zuukuka, oyimirire ggwe Yerusaalemi eyanywa okuva eri Mukama ekikompe eky’obusungu bwe, eyanywa n’omaliramu ddala ekibya ekitagaza.
18 Kakho ongayikhokhela kuwo wonke amadodana ewazeleyo; njalo kakho ongayibamba ngesandla kuwo wonke amadodana ewakhulisileyo.
Ku baana aboobulenzi bonna be yazaala tewali n’omu wa kumukulembera. Ku baana bonna aboobulenzi be yakuza tewali n’omu wa kumukwata ku mukono.
19 Lokhu kokubili kukwehlele, ngubani ozakuzwela usizi? Incithakalo, lokubhujiswa, lendlala, lenkemba; ngizakududuza ngobani?
Ebintu bino ebibiri bikuguddeko ani anaakunakuwalirako? Okuzika n’okuzikirira, enjala, n’ekitala, ani anaakubeesabeesa?
20 Amadodana akho aphelelwe ngamandla, alele esihlokweni sezitalada zonke, njengenkunzi yendle embuleni; agcwele ulaka lweNkosi, ukukhuza kukaNkulunkulu wakho.
Batabani bo bazirise, bagudde ku buli nsonda y’oluguudo ng’engabi egudde mu kitimba. Babuutikiddwa ekiruyi kya Mukama, n’okunenyezebwa kwa Katonda wo.
21 Ngakho khathesi zwana lokhu, wena ohluphekayo lodakiweyo, kodwa hatshi ngewayini.
Noolwekyo wulira kino ggwe, atamidde naye si lwa mwenge.
22 Itsho njalo iNkosi yakho, uJehova loNkulunkulu wakho olabhelela udaba lwabantu bakhe: Khangela, ngisusile esandleni sakho inkezo yokudengezela, inzece zenkezo yolaka lwami, kawusayikuyinatha futhi.
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna, Katonda wo alwanirira abantu be. “Laba mbaggyeeko ekikompe kye nabawa olw’ekiruyi kye nalina, ekyabatagaza. Temuliddayo kukinywa nate.
23 Kodwa ngizayibeka esandleni salabo abakuhluphayo, abathe emphefumulweni wakho: Khothama, ukuze sedlule phezulu; usubeke umhlana wakho njengomhlabathi, lanjengesitalada kwabadlula phezulu.
Ndikiteeka mu mikono gy’abo abaababonyaabonya abaabagamba nti, ‘Mugwe wansi mwegolole tubatambulireko.’ Emigongo gyammwe gibe ng’ettaka, ng’oluguudo olw’okulinnyirira.”
