Esias 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me; he has sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind;
Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda ali ku nze, kubanga Mukama anfuseeko amafuta okubuulira abaavu n’abali obubi ebigambo ebirungi, antumye okuyimusa abalina emitima egimenyese. Okulangirira eddembe eri abawambe, n’abasibe bateebwe bave mu makomera.
2 to declare the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of recompence; to comfort all that mourn;
Okulangirira omwaka gwa Mukama ogw’okulabiramu obulungi bwe; olunaku lwa Mukama olw’okuwalanirako eggwanga era n’okuzzaamu amaanyi abo bonna abakungubaga.
3 that there should be given to them that mourn in Sion glory instead of ashes, the oil of joy to the mourners, the garment of glory for the spirit of heaviness: and they shall be called generations of righteousness, the planting of the Lord for glory.
Okugabirira abo bonna abali mu Sayuuni abakungubaga, okubawa engule ey’obubalagavu mu kifo ky’evvu, n’amafuta ag’essanyu mu kifo ky’ennaku. Ekyambalo ky’okutendereza mu kifo ky’omwoyo w’okukeŋŋeentererwa balyoke bayitibwe miti gy’abutuukirivu, ebisimbe bya Mukama, balyoke baweebwe ekitiibwa.
4 And they shall build the old waste places, they shall raise up those that were before made desolate, and shall renew the desert cities, [even] those that had been desolate for [many] generations.
Baliddamu bazimbe ebyali bizise, balirongoosa ebibuga ebyali byerabirwa edda.
5 And strangers shall come and feed your flocks, and aliens [shall be your] ploughmen and vine-dressers.
Abaamawanga balibalundira ebisibo byammwe, abagwira babakolere mu nnimiro zammwe ne mu nnimiro z’emizabbibu.
6 But you shall be called priests of the Lord, the ministers of God: you shall eat the strength of nations, and shall be admired because of their wealth.
Era muyitibwe bakabona ba Mukama, abantu baliboogerako ng’abaweereza ba Mukama, mulirya obugagga bw’amawanga, era mu bugagga bwabwe mwe mulyenyumiririza.
7 Thus shall they inherit the land a second time, and everlasting joy shall be upon their head.
Mu kifo ky’ensonyi, abantu bange baliddizibwawo emirundi ebiri. Mu kifo ky’okuswala basanyuke olw’ebyo bye balifuna era balifuna omugabo gwa mirundi ebiri, essanyu lyabwe liribeerera emirembe gyonna.
8 For I am the Lord who love righteousness, and hate robberies of injustice; and I will give their labour to the just, and will make an everlasting covenant with them.
“Kubanga nze, Mukama, njagala obwenkanya, nkyawa okunyaga era n’obutali butuukirivu. Mu bwesigwa bwange ndibasasula era nkole nabo endagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.
9 And their seed shall be known amongst the Gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of peoples: every one that sees them shall take notice of them, that they are a seed blessed of God;
N’ezzadde lyabwe liritutumuka nnyo mu mawanga n’abaana baabwe eri abantu. Abo bonna abalibalaba balibamanya, nti bantu Mukama be yawa omukisa.”
10 and they shall greatly rejoice in the Lord. Let my soul rejoice in the Lord; for he has clothed me with the robe of salvation, and the garment of joy: he has put a mitre on me as on a bridegroom, and adorned me with ornaments as a bride.
Nsanyukira nnyo mu Mukama, emmeeme yange esanyukira mu Katonda wange. Kubanga annyambazizza ebyambalo eby’obulokozi era n’anteekako n’omunagiro ogw’obutuukirivu, ng’omugole omusajja bw’ayambala engule nga kabona, ng’omugole omukazi bw’ayambala amayinja ge ag’omuwendo.
11 And as the earth putting forth her flowers, and as a garden its seed; so shall the Lord, [even] the Lord, cause righteousness to spring forth, and exultation before all nations.
Kuba nga ettaka bwe livaamu ebimera, era ng’ennimiro bwereetera ensigo okumeruka, bw’atyo Mukama Katonda bwalireeta obutuukirivu n’ettendo okumeruka, ensi zonna zikirabe.
