Isaaya 60
1 “Yimuka, oyake, kubanga ekitangaala kyo kizze kyase era ekitiibwa kya Mukama kikwakirako.
"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
2 Kubanga laba ensi eribikkibwa ekizikiza era n’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo kibikke abantu baamawanga gonna, naye ggwe Mukama alikwakirako era ekitiibwa kye kikulabikeko.
For, look, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
3 Amawanga galijja eri omusana gwo ne bakabaka eri okumasamasa okunaakubangako ng’ojja.
Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 “Yimusa amaaso go olabe; abantu bo bonna bakuŋŋaana okujja gy’oli batabani bo abava ewala ne bawala bo abasituliddwa mu mikono.
"Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to you; your sons shall come from far, and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
5 Kino oli wakukirabako ojjule essanyu, omutima gwo, gujjule okweyagala n’okujaguza. Obugagga bw’amawanga bulyoke bukuleetebwe, era n’ebirungi byonna eby’omu nnyanja birikweyuna.
Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6 Ebisibo by’eŋŋamira birijjula ensi yammwe, eŋŋamira ento ez’e Midiyaani ne Efa. Era ne zonna ez’e Seba zirijja nga zeetisse zaabu n’obubaane okulangirira ettendo lya Katonda.
The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of the LORD.
7 N’ebisibo byonna eby’e Kedali birikukuŋŋanyizibwa, endiga ennume ez’e Nebayoosi zirikuweereza. Zirikkirizibwa ng’ekiweebwayo ku kyoto kyange era ndyolesa ekitiibwa kyange mu yeekaalu yange.
All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on my altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory.
8 “Bano baani abaseyeeya nga ebire, ng’amayiba agadda mu bisu byago?
"Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 Ddala ddala ebizinga bitunuulidde nze; ebidyeri by’e Talusiisi bye bikulembedde bireete batabani bammwe okubaggya ewala awamu ne zaabu yaabwe ne ffeeza, olw’ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda wammwe, Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri, kubanga akufudde ow’ekitiibwa.
Surely the islands shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
10 “Abaana b’abamawanga amalala balizimba bbugwe wo, era bakabaka baabwe bakuweereze; Olw’obusungu bwange, nakukuba, naye mu kusaasira kwange ndikukwatirwa ekisa.
"Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor have I had mercy on you.
11 Emiryango gyo ginaabanga miggule bulijjo, emisana n’ekiro tegiggalwenga, abantu balyoke bakuleeterenga obugagga obw’amawanga gaabwe nga bakulembeddwamu bakabaka baabwe.
Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
12 Kubanga eggwanga oba obwakabaka ebitakuweereze byakuzikirira. Ensi ezo zijja kuggweerawo ddala.
For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 “Ekitiibwa kya Lebanooni kirikujjira, emiti egy’ettendo egy’enfugo, omuyovu ne namukago gireetebwe okutukuza ekifo eky’awatukuvu wange, ekifo ebigere byange we biwummulira eky’ettendo.
"The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 Batabani baabo abaakunyigirizanga balijja okukuvuunamira; era bonna abaakusekereranga balivuunamira ku bigere byo. Balikuyita kibuga kya Katonda, Sayuuni ey’Omutukuvu wa Katonda.
The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Wadde nga wali olekeddwa awo ng’okyayibbwa, nga tewali n’omu akuyitamu, ndikufuula ow’ettendo, essanyu ery’emirembe gyonna.
"Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through you, I will make you an everlasting excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 Olinywa amata ag’amawanga. Ku mabeere ga bakungu kw’onooyonkanga, era olimanyira ddala nti, Nze, nze Mukama, nze Mulokozi wo era Omununuzi wo, ow’Amaanyi owa Yakobo.
You shall also drink the milk of the nations, and shall nurse from royal breasts; and you shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Mu kifo ky’ekikomo ndireeta zaabu, mu kifo ky’ekyuma ndireeta effeeza, mu kifo ky’omuti ndireeta kikomo, ne mu kifo ky’amayinja ndeete ekyuma. Emirembe gye girifuuka omufuzi wo n’obutuukirivu ne buba omukulembeze wo.
For bronze I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood bronze, and for stones iron. I will also make your officers peace, and righteousness your ruler.
18 Okutabukatabuka tekuddeyo kuwulirwa mu nsi yo, wadde okwonoona n’okuzikiriza munda mu nsalo zo. Ebisenge byo olibiyita Bulokozi, Era n’enzigi zo, Kutendereza.
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, destruction nor calamity within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 Enjuba si yeenekumulisizanga emisana, oba omwezi okukumulisizanga ekiro. Kubanga Mukama y’anaabeeranga ekitangaala kyo eky’emirembe n’emirembe, era Katonda wo y’anaabeeranga ekitiibwa kyo.
The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the moon shine for illumination at night; but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
20 Enjuba yo terigwa nate, n’omwezi gwo tegulibula; Mukama y’anaabeeranga ekitangaala kyo eky’emirembe n’emirembe era ennaku zo ez’okukungubanga zikome.
Your sun shall no more go down, neither shall your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
21 Abantu bo babeere batuukirivu, ensi ebeere yaabwe emirembe n’emirembe. Ekisimbe kye nnesimbira; omulimu gw’emikono gyange, olw’okulaga ekitiibwa kyange.
Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 Asembayo okuba owa wansi alyala n’aba lukumi, n’asembayo obutono afuuke eggwanga ery’amaanyi. Nze Mukama, ndikyanguya mu biseera byakyo.”
The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, the LORD, will hasten it in its time."
