Ruhanga okutonganisa abantu be n'okubahana

11

Okworekwa kwa Isaaya mwene Amozi, oku yaareebire ahari Yuda na Yerusaalemu obu busingye bwa Uziya, Yosamu, Ahazi na Hezekia abagabe ba Yuda. 22

Iwe iguru 'we, hurira; naiwe nsi 'we, tega okutu,

Ahabw'okuba MUKAMA agizire ati:

Nkontsya abaana, naaboorora,

Kwonka mbwenu bangomeire.

3Ente emanya mukama waayo,

N'endogoya emanya eka ya mukama waayo,

Kwonka Israeli taine ki arikumanya,

Abantu bangye tibarikwetegyereza. 43

Ai bambe, eihanga ry'ebibi,

Abantu abaijwire okutahikiirira,

Oruzaaro rw'enkozi z'ebibi,

Abaana abarikukora ebitahikire!

Baimwire MUKAMA,

Baagaya Orikwera wa Israeli,

Baahinduka, baagaruka enyima. 54

Nimwendera ki kuguma nimuteerwa,

Nimuturwa okugumizamu nimugoma?

Omutwe gwona gurwaire,

Omutima gugwereire kimwe enshazi;

6Okuruga aha mara g'ekigyere okuhika aha mutwe

Tihaine hahuriire,

Kureka ebihuta, n'ebihonoka,

N'ebironda ebirikunuuka;

Tibikamigwaga, tibikashembwaga,

Nobu kwakuba okubobeezibwa n'amajuta. 75

Ensi yaanyu n'amatongo,

Endembo zaanyu zookibwe n'omuriro;

Ensi yaanyu abanyamahanga nibagibariira omu maisho,

Ebaire amatongo, emazirweho abanyamahanga. 86

Saayuuni etsigirweho

Nk'akaju k'omu musiri gw'emizaabibu,

Nk'eirindiro ry'omu musiri gw'emyongo,

Nk'orurembo rugotsirwe. 97

Kuri MUKAMA ow'amahe ataratukwatiire ihembe,

Tukaabaire nka Sodoma, tuba nka Gomora.

10Imwe bategyeki ba Sodoma 'mwe,

Muhurire ekigambo kya MUKAMA!

Naimwe abantu ba Gomora, mutegye okutu,

Muhurire ebiragiro bya Ruhanga waitu! 118

MUKAMA naagira ati:

Ebitambo byanyu ebirengyesereize nibingasira ki?

Ntamirwe ebitambo byanyu ebyokize eby'empaya z'entaama,

N'ebishaju by'amatungo agagomokire;

Kandi tindikushemerererwa shagama y'enimi,

Nari ey'abaana b'entaama, nari ey'empaya z'embuzi.

12Ku muba mwizire omu maisho gangye,

N'oha owaabaragiire kuguma nimundibatiiririra ekibuga? 139

Mutagaruka kundeetera empongano ezitaine mugasho;

Obubaane n'ekirikunugwa ahariinye;

Okuboneka kw'ameezi, na zaasabato, n'okutaho enteerane-

Tindikubaasa kugumisiririza kutahikiirira hamwe n'okuteerana okurikwera.

14Amagyenyi gaanyu ag'okuboneka kw'okwezi, n'agandi agaatairweho,

omutima gwangye nigugangira kimwe;

Gankabize; okugagumisiririza kunduhize. 1510

Ku muritega emikono yaanyu, ndyabaima amaisho;

Nangwa n'obu muriguma nimushaba hakye-hakye, tindibahurira;

Ahabw'okuba engaro zaanyu ziijwire eshagama. 1611

Mwogye, mweboneze,

Mwiheho obubi bw'emicwe yaanyu omu maisho gangye;

Murekye kukora kubi,

17Mwegye okukora gye,

Musherure eby'oburyo,

Muhane abarikuhata abandi;

Murwanirire efuuzi, mutonganire abafaakazi. 1812

MUKAMA naagira ati: Mbwenu nimwije tuhanuure hamwe;

Ebibi byanyu n'obu biraabe nibitukura nka karari,

Biryayera nk'orubaare;

N'obu biraabe nibitukura tuku-tuku,

Biryaba nk'ebyoya by'entaama ebirikwera.

19Ku muraikirize, mwayoroba,

Muryarya ebirungi by'ensi; 2013

Kwonka ku muraayangye, mukagoma,

Muryariibwa rurara;

Ahabw'okuba akanwa ka MUKAMA niko kaakigamba. 2114

Orurembo orwabaire nirwesigwa

Ka ruhindukire maraaya!

Omu eby'oburyo byabaire biri, n'eby'okuhikiirira,

Mbwenu hati abaitsi nibo barimu.

22Efeeza yaawe ehindukire enkamba,

Viinyo yaawe efungwire; 2315

Abanyiginya baawe n'abagomi, kandi nibakwatanisa n'abashuma.

Buri muntu naayenda enguzi n'okutoijerwa,

Tibarikurwanirira fuuzi,

Kandi emanja z'abafaakazi tizaakihika mu maramuriro gaabo. 2416

Nikyo Mukama, MUKAMA ow'amahe,

Ow'obushoboorozi owa Israeli arikugirira ati:

Iwe, ndyayemarira ekiniga aha bazigu bangye,

N'ababisha bangye mbahoore enzigu. 2517

Ndyakutaho omukono gwangye, gukurwanise,

Nyihiremu kimwe enkamba zaawe,

Nkumaremu ebyoma by'amabaati. 2618

Ndyagaruraho abaramuzi baawe nk'obunyakare,

N'abahi b'obwengye baawe nk'omu kutandika.

Bwanyima oryayetwa orurembo rw'okuhikiirira,

Kandi orw'okwesigwa.

27Saayuuni eryacungurwa okukora eby'oburyo,

N'abaamwo abarikweteisa bacungurwe okuhikiirira;

28Kwonka abagomi n'abasiisi baryacwekyerezibwa kumwe,

N'abarikwimuura MUKAMA bamarweho. 2919

Ahabw'okuba muryakwatwa enshoni ahabw'ebiti by'emirinzi ebi mwakunzire,

Kandi n'ahabw'emisiri ei mwayetooraniire; 3020

Ahakuba muryaba nk'omwela oguhotoka amababi,

N'omusiri ogutaine maizi.

31Ow'amaani aryaba nk'eshisha,

N'omurimo gwe guryaba nk'esiriira;

Byombi biryahiira hamwe,

Habure ow'okubiraaza.
