59 (A)Mulabe, omukono gwa Mukama teguyimpawadde n’okuyinza ne gutayinza kulokola,

2 (B)Naye obutali butuukirivu bwammwe

3 (C)Kubanga emikono gyammwe gibunye omusaayi
n’engalo zammwe zibunye obutali butuukirivu,

Beesiga ensonga ezitaliimu, ne boogera eby’obulimba,
ne baleeta emitawaana ne bazaala obulabe.
5 (E)Baalula amagi ag’essalambwa

6 (F)Naye enkwe zaabwe ze bakola tezibayamba,

Tebasobola kuzeebikka.

Tunoonyezza omusana naye ekizikiza kitwesibyeko,

10 (J)Tuwammantawammanta bbugwe ng’abazibe,
ne tukwatakwata ng’abatalina maaso;
twesittala mu ttuntu ng’ekiro mu abo abalina amaanyi
ne tuba ng’abafu.
11 (K)Ffenna tuwuluguma ng’eddubu
ne tusinda nga bukaamukuukulu.
Tusuubira okuggyibwa mu kunyigirizibwa naye nga bwereere,
n’obulokozi butuliwala.
12 (L)Kubanga ebisobyo byaffe bingi mu maaso go
era ebibi byaffe bitulumiriza,
kubanga ebisobyo byaffe biri naffe,
era tumanyi obutali butuukirivu bwaffe;
13 (M)obujeemu n’enkwe eri Mukama

14 (N)Obwenkanya buddiridde
n’obutuukirivu ne bubeera wala.
Amazima geesitalidde mu luguudo, n’obwesimbu tebuyinza kuyingira.
15 Tewali w’oyinza kusanga mazima,
era oyo ava ku kibi asuulibwa.
Mukama yakiraba n’atasanyuka
kubanga tewaali bwenkanya.
16 (O)N’alaba nga tewali muntu,
ne yennyamira nti tewali muntu ayinza kudduukirira.
Noolwekyo kwe kusalawo okukozesa omukono gwe ye kennyini
okuleeta obulokozi n’obutuukirivu bwe okuwangula.
17 (P)Yayambala obutuukirivu bwe ng’eky’omu kifuba,
era n’enkuufiira ey’obulokozi ku mutwe gwe;
n’ateekako ebyambalo by’okuwoolera eggwanga
era n’ayambala obunyiikivu ng’omunagiro.
18 Ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri
bwalisasula ekiruyi ku balabe be,
n’abamukyawa
alibawa empeera yaabwe,
n’abo abali ewala mu bizinga abasasule.
19 (Q)Noolwekyo balitya erinnya lya Mukama okuva ebugwanjuba,
n’ekitiibwa kye okuva ebuvanjuba,
kubanga alijja ng’omugga ogukulukuta n’amaanyi,
omukka gwa Mukama gwe gutwala.
20 (R)“Era Omununuzi alijja mu Sayuuni,
eri abo abeenenya ebibi byabwe mu Yakobo,”
bw’ayogera Mukama.
21 (S)“Era, eno y’endagaano yange gye nkola nabo,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Omwoyo wange ali ku ggwe era n’ebigambo byange bye ntadde mu kamwa ko, tebiivenga mu kamwa ko, oba mu kamwa k’abaana bo, wadde mu kamwa k’abaana b’abaana bo, okuva kaakano okutuusa emirembe n’emirembe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Isaiah 59
New International Version
Isaiah 59
New International Version
Sin, Confession and Redemption
59 Surely the arm(A) of the Lord is not too short(B) to save,
nor his ear too dull to hear.(C)
2 But your iniquities have separated(D)
you from your God;
your sins have hidden his face from you,
so that he will not hear.(E)
3 For your hands are stained with blood,(F)
your fingers with guilt.(G)
Your lips have spoken falsely,(H)
and your tongue mutters wicked things.
4 No one calls for justice;(I)
no one pleads a case with integrity.
They rely(J) on empty arguments, they utter lies;(K)
they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.(L)
5 They hatch the eggs of vipers(M)
and spin a spider’s web.(N)
Whoever eats their eggs will die,
and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.
6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing;
they cannot cover themselves with what they make.(O)
Their deeds are evil deeds,
and acts of violence(P) are in their hands.
7 Their feet rush into sin;
they are swift to shed innocent blood.(Q)
They pursue evil schemes;(R)
acts of violence mark their ways.(S)
8 The way of peace they do not know;(T)
there is no justice in their paths.
They have turned them into crooked roads;(U)
no one who walks along them will know peace.(V)
9 So justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;(W)
for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
10 Like the blind(X) we grope along the wall,
feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble(Y) as if it were twilight;
among the strong, we are like the dead.(Z)
11 We all growl like bears;
we moan mournfully like doves.(AA)
We look for justice, but find none;
for deliverance, but it is far away.
12 For our offenses(AB) are many in your sight,
and our sins testify(AC) against us.
Our offenses are ever with us,
and we acknowledge our iniquities:(AD)
13 rebellion(AE) and treachery against the Lord,
turning our backs(AF) on our God,
inciting revolt and oppression,(AG)
uttering lies(AH) our hearts have conceived.
14 So justice(AI) is driven back,
and righteousness(AJ) stands at a distance;
truth(AK) has stumbled in the streets,
honesty cannot enter.
15 Truth(AL) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(AM)
16 He saw that there was no one,(AN)
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(AO)
so his own arm achieved salvation(AP) for him,
and his own righteousness(AQ) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(AR)
and the helmet(AS) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(AT) of vengeance(AU)
and wrapped himself in zeal(AV) as in a cloak.
18 According to what they have done,
so will he repay(AW)
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands(AX) their due.
19 From the west,(AY) people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,(AZ) they will revere his glory.(BA)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath(BB) of the Lord drives along.[a]
20 “The Redeemer(BC) will come to Zion,(BD)
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”(BE)
declares the Lord.
21 “As for me, this is my covenant(BF) with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit,(BG) who is on you, will not depart from you,(BH) and my words that I have put in your mouth(BI) will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.

Isaiah 59
New King James Version
Isaiah 59
New King James Version
Separated from God
59 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not (A)shortened,
That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy,
That it cannot hear.
2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from you,
So that He will (B)not hear.
3 For (C)your hands are defiled with [a]blood,
And your fingers with iniquity;
Your lips have spoken lies,
Your tongue has muttered perversity.
4 No one calls for justice,
Nor does any plead for truth.
They trust in (D)empty words and speak lies;
(E)They conceive [b]evil and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
He who eats of their eggs dies,
And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
6 (F)Their webs will not become garments,
Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
Their works are works of iniquity,
And the act of violence is in their hands.
7 (G)Their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed (H)innocent blood;
(I)Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and (J)destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of (K)peace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
(L)They have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.
Sin Confessed
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
Nor does righteousness overtake us;
(M)We look for light, but there is darkness!
For brightness, but we walk in blackness!
10 (N)We grope for the wall like the blind,
And we grope as if we had no eyes;
We stumble at noonday as at twilight;
We are as dead men in desolate places.
11 We all growl like bears,
And (O)moan sadly like doves;
We look for justice, but there is none;
For salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our (P)transgressions are multiplied before You,
And our sins testify against us;
For our transgressions are with us,
And as for our iniquities, we know them:
13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord,
And departing from our God,
Speaking oppression and revolt,
Conceiving and uttering (Q)from the heart words of falsehood.
14 Justice is turned back,
And righteousness stands afar off;
For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
15 So truth fails,
And he who departs from evil makes himself a (R)prey.
The Redeemer of Zion
Then the Lord saw it, and [c]it displeased Him
That there was no justice.
16 (S)He saw that there was no man,
And (T)wondered that there was no intercessor;
(U)Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
17 (V)For He put on righteousness as a breastplate,
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
And was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 (W)According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay,
Fury to His adversaries,
Recompense to His enemies;
The coastlands He will fully repay.
19 (X)So shall they fear
The name of the Lord from the west,
And His glory from the rising of the sun;
When the enemy comes in (Y)like a flood,
The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
20 “The(Z) Redeemer will come to Zion,
And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,”
Says the Lord.
21 “As(AA) for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from this time and forevermore.”
