Isaaya 46
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Bakatonda b’e Babulooni
46 (A)Beri avunnama,
Nebo akutamye!
Ebifaananyi bya bakatonda baabwe biteekeddwa ku nsolo ez’omu nsiko, era ne ku nte.
Ebifaananyi bya bakatonda baabwe migugu mizito ddala ku ndogoyi ezikooye.
2 (B)Bikutamye byonna bivuunamye.
Tebiyinza kuyamba ku mbeera,
byo byennyini bitwaliddwa mu busibe.
3 (C)“Mumpulire mmwe, ennyumba ya Yakobo
n’abantu bonna abasigaddewo mu nnyumba ya Isirayiri.
Mmwe be nnalera okuva lwe mwava mu lubuto,
be nasitula okuva lwe mwazaalibwa.
4 (D)Ne mu bukadde bwammwe nzija kusigala nga ye nze Nzuuyo.
Ne bwe muliba mulina envi nnaabasitulanga.
Nze nabakola era nze nnaabawekanga.
Nnaabasitulanga era nnaabanunulanga.
5 (E)“Ani gwe mulinfaananya era gwe mulinnenkanya
era gwe mulingerageranyaako tufaanane?
6 (F)Eriyo abaggya zaabu ennyingi mu nsawo zaabwe
ne bapima ne ffeeza ku minzaani.
Olwo ne bapangisa omuweesi wa zaabu n’agiweesaamu katonda waabwe,
ne bagwa wansi ne basinza.
7 (G)Katonda waabwe ne bamusitulira ku kibegabega, ne bamuwa ekifo w’anaayimiriranga.
N’ayimirira awo,
n’atava mu kifo kye.
Oli ne bw’amukaabirira tayinza kumuddamu,
tayinza kumuwonya mu mitawaana gye.
8 (H)“Mujjukire kino mmwe, mulowooze mu mitima gyammwe.
Mwekube mu kifuba, mmwe abajeemu.
9 (I)Mujjukire ebigambo ebyasooka eby’edda ennyo.
Kubanga nze Katonda, teri mulala.
Nze Katonda, teri ali nga nze;
10 (J)alanga ku ntandikwa ebigenda okubaawo.
Okuva ku mirembe egy’edda ennyo,
nalanga ebintu ebitannabaawo, nga ŋŋamba nti, ‘Enteekateeka zange zijja kubaawo
era ndituukiriza byonna bye nategeka.’
11 Mpita ekinyonyi ekikwakkula ebiramu ebirala.
Omusajja[a] ava ebuvanjuba mu nsi eyewala, anaakola bye njagala.
Weewaawo njogedde era nnaatuukiriza.
Nga bwe nategeka bwe nnaakola.
12 (K)Mumpulirize mmwe abalina emitima emikakanyavu,
abakyama ennyo ne bava mu kkubo ly’obutuukirivu.
13 (L)Nsembeza kumpi obutuukirivu bwange,
tebuli wala.
N’obulokozi bwange tebuulwewo.
Ndireeta obulokozi mu Sayuuni,
ne nzizaawo ekitiibwa kyange mu Isirayiri.”

Isaiah 46
New King James Version
Dead Idols and the Living God
46 Bel (A)bows down, Nebo stoops;
Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle.
Your carriages were heavily loaded,
(B)A burden to the weary beast.
2 They stoop, they bow down together;
They could not deliver the burden,
(C)But have themselves gone into captivity.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
(D)Who have been upheld by Me from [a]birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
4 Even to your old age, (E)I am He,
And even to gray hairs (F)I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 “To(G) whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal
And compare Me, that we should be alike?
6 (H)They lavish gold out of the bag,
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a (I)goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
7 (J)They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though (K)one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.
8 “Remember this, and [b]show yourselves men;
(L)Recall to mind, O you transgressors.
9 (M)Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and (N)there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10 (O)Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, (P)‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey (Q)from the east,
The man (R)who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed (S)I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.
12 “Listen to Me, you (T)stubborn-hearted,
(U)Who are far from righteousness:
13 (V)I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off;
My salvation (W)shall not [c]linger.
And I will place (X)salvation in Zion,
For Israel My glory.
