U-Isaya 9
1 Kodwa umnyama kawuyikuba njengenkathazo yalo; njengesikhathini samandulo wakwenza kwaba lula elizweni lakoZebuluni lelizweni lakoNafithali; kodwa emva kwalokhu wakwenza kwaba nzima ngendlela yolwandle, phetsheya kweJordani, eGalili lezizwe.
Naye tewaliba kizikiza eri oyo eyali mu kubonaabona. Edda yatoowaza ensi ya Zebbulooni n’ensi ya Nafutaali, naye mu kiseera ekijja aliwa Ggaliraaya ekitiibwa, ensi ey’abamawanga emitala wa Yoludaani, awali ekkubo erigenda ku nnyanja.
2 Abantu ababehamba emnyameni babonile ukukhanya okukhulu; ababehlala elizweni lethunzi lokufa, ukukhanya kubakhanyisele.
Abantu abaatambuliranga mu kizikiza balabye ekitangaala eky’amaanyi, abo abaatuulanga mu nsi ey’ekizikiza ekingi, omusana gubaakidde.
3 Wandisile isizwe, wakhulisa intokozo yaso; bayathokoza phambi kwakho njengentokozo ekuvuneni, njengoba bethokoza ekwehlukaniselaneni kwabo impango.
Oyazizza eggwanga, obongedde essanyu, basanyukira mu maaso go ng’abantu bwe basanyuka mu biseera eby’amakungula, ng’abasajja bwe basanyuka nga bagabana omunyago.
4 Ngoba wephulile ijogwe lomthwalo waso, loswazi lwehlombe laso, intonga yomcindezeli waso, njengasosukwini lukaMidiyani.
Nga ku lunaku Abamidiyaani lwe baawangulwa, omenye ekikoligo ekyamuzitoowereranga, n’ekiti eky’oku kibegabega kye, n’oluga lw’oyo amunyigiriza.
5 Ngoba wonke umsindo wempi usenhlokomeni, lesigqoko sigiqwe egazini; njalo kuzakuba ngesokutshiswa, kube zinkuni zomlilo.
Kubanga buli ngatto ya mulwanyi ekozesebwa mu lutalo na buli kyambalo ekibunye omusaayi, biriba bya kwokebwa, bye birikozesebwa okukoleeza omuliro.
6 Ngoba sizalelwe umntwana, sinikwe indodana; lombuso uzakuba sehlombe layo, lebizo lakhe lizathiwa: OMangalisayo, uMeluleki, uNkulunkulu olamandla, uBaba wephakade, iNkosana yokuthula.
Kubanga omwana atuzaaliddwa ffe, omwana owoobulenzi atuweereddwa ffe, n’okufuga kunaabanga ku bibegabega bye. N’erinnya lye aliyitibwa nti, Wa kitalo, Omuwi w’amagezi, Katonda Ayinzabyonna, Kitaffe ow’Emirembe Gyonna, Omulangira w’Emirembe.
7 Ukwanda kombuso lokuthula kakuyikuphela, phezu kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavida laphezu kombuso wakhe, ukuwumisa, lokuwuqinisa ngesahlulelo langokulunga, kusukela khathesi kuze kube nininini. Ukutshiseka kweNkosi yamabandla kuzakwenza lokhu.
Okufuga kwe n’emirembe biryeyongeranga obutakoma. Alifugira ku ntebe ya Dawudi ne ku bwakabaka bwe, n’okubuwanirira n’obwenkanya n’obutuukirivu okuva leero okutuusa emirembe gyonna. Obumalirivu bwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bulikituukiriza ekyo.
8 INkosi ithumele ilizwi koJakobe, lawela koIsrayeli.
Mukama yaweereza obubaka obukwata ku Yakobo, ku birituuka ku Isirayiri.
9 Labo bonke abantu bazakwazi, uEfrayimi lomhlali weSamariya, ngokuzigqaja langokuzikhukhumeza kwenhliziyo, besithi:
Era abantu bonna balibumanya, Efulayimu n’abantu b’omu Samaliya aboogera n’amalala n’omutima omukakanyavu,
10 Izitina ziwile, kodwa sizakwakha ngamatshe abaziweyo; imikhiwa yesikhamore iganyuliwe, kodwa sizayiguqula ibe yimisedari.
nti, “Amatoffaali gagudde wansi naye tulizimbya amayinja amateme, emisukamooli gitemeddwawo naye tulizzaawo emivule.”
11 Ngakho iNkosi izaphakamisa abacindezeli bakaRezini phezu kwakhe, itshotshozele izitha zakhe;
Mukama Katonda kyaliva awa abalabe ba Lezini amaanyi bamulumbe; alibakumaakuma bamulumbe.
12 amaSiriya ngaphambili lamaFilisti ngemuva, azakudla uIsrayeli ngomlomo wonke. Kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yayo kayiphenduki, kodwa isandla sayo silokhu seluliwe.
Abasuuli balisinziira mu buvanjuba, n’Abafirisuuti bave ebugwanjuba, balyoke basaanyeewo Isirayiri n’akamwa akaasamye. Newaakubadde nga biri bityo, obusungu bwa Mukama buliba tebunnavaawo era omukono gwe guliba gukyagoloddwa.
13 Ngoba abantu kabaphendukeli kulowo owabatshayayo, futhi kabayidingi iNkosi yamabandla.
Kubanga abantu tebakyuse kudda wadde okunoonya Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye eyabakuba.
14 Ngakho iNkosi izaquma kusuke koIsrayeli inhloko lomsila, ugatsha lomhlanga, ngasuku lunye.
Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda kyaliva asala ku Isirayiri, omutwe n’omukira, ettabi n’olukindu mu lunaku lumu.
15 Omdala lowemukelwa ngobuso, uyinhloko, kodwa umprofethi ofundisa amanga, ungumsila.
Omutwe be bakadde n’abantu ab’ekitiibwa, n’omukira be bannabbi abayigiriza eby’obulimba.
16 Ngoba abakhokheli balababantu bayaduhisa, labakhokhelwa yibo bayaginywa.
Kubanga abakulembera abantu bano bababuzaabuuza, n’abo abakulemberwa babuzibwabuzibwa.
17 Ngenxa yalokho iNkosi kayiyikuthokoza ngamajaha abo, kayiyikuba lasihawu ngezintandane zabo labafelokazi babo; ngoba bonke bangabazenzisi labenzi bobubi, lomlomo wonke ukhuluma ubuthutha. Kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yayo kayiphenduki, kodwa isandla sayo silokhu seluliwe.
Noolwekyo, Mukama tajja kusanyukira bavubuka, wadde okukwatirwa ekisa abo abataliiko ba kitaabwe wadde bannamwandu; kubanga buli omu mukozi wa bibi, era buli kamwa konna kogera eby’obuwemu. Olwa bino byonna, obusungu bwa Mukama tebunakyusibwa kubavaako, era omukono gwe gukyagoloddwa.
18 Ngoba inkohlakalo itshisa njengomlilo; izakudla ameva lokhula oluhlabayo, ithungele izixuku zehlathi, ziziphakamise njengokuphakama kwentuthu.
Ddala ekibi kyokya ng’omuliro; gumalawo emyeramannyo n’obusaana. Era gukoleeza eby’omu kibira, omukka ne gunyooka ne gutumbiira waggulu.
19 Ngolaka lweNkosi yamabandla ilizwe liyafiphazwa, labantu bazakuba njengokudla komlilo; umuntu kayikuyekela umfowabo.
Olw’obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ensi eggiiridde ddala, era n’abantu bali ng’enku ez’okukuma omuliro, tewali muntu alekawo muganda we.
20 Njalo uzahluthuna ngakwesokunene, kodwa alambe; adle ngakwesokhohlo, kodwa angasuthi; ngulowo lalowo adle inyama yengalo yakhe;
Balimalawo eby’oku mukono ogwa ddyo, naye balisigala bayala; balirya n’eby’oku kkono, naye tebalikkuta. Buli omu alirya ku mubiri gw’ezzadde lye.
21 uManase uEfrayimi, loEfrayimi uManase; bazamelana loJuda kanyekanye. Kukho konke lokhu intukuthelo yayo kayiphenduki, kodwa isandla sayo silokhu seluliwe.
Manase alirya Efulayimu ne Efulayimu n’alya Manase ate bombi ne balya Yuda. Naye wadde nga biri bityo, obusungu bwa Mukama buliba tebunnavaawo, era n’omukono gwe guliba gukyagoloddwa.
