Isaaya 55
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Abalumwa Ennyonta Bayitibwa
55 (A)“Kale mujje,
mmwe mwenna abalumwa ennyonta, mujje eri amazzi.
Mujje mmwe abatalina ssente zigula,
mujje muweebwe bye mwagala,
envinnyo oba amata ebitali bya kugula
ebitaliiko miwendo gya kusasula.
2 (B)Lwaki musaasaanya ensimbi zammwe ku ebyo ebitali bya kulya
muteganira ebyo ebitakkusa?
Mumpulirize, mumpulirize n’obwegendereza mulye ebyo ebirungi,
emmeeme yammwe eneesanyuka nnyo.
3 (C)Mumpulirize mujje gye ndi.
Muwulirize mubeere balamu;
nnaabakolera endagaano ey’olubeerera,
era egyo gy’emikisa gyange n’okwagala bye nasuubiza Dawudi.
4 (D)Laba namufuula omujulirwa eri abantu,
omukulembeze era omugabe w’abantu.
5 (E)Laba oliyita amawanga g’otomanyi,
era amawanga g’otomanyi galyanguwa okujja gy’oli.
Kiribaawo olw’obuyinza bwa Mukama Katonda wo
era Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri
kubanga akugulumizza.”
6 (F)Munoonye Mukama nga bw’akyayinzika okulabika,
mumukaabirire nga bw’akyali okumpi.
7 (G)Omubi aleke ekkubo lye,
n’atali mutuukirivu aleke ebirowoozo bye.
Leka adde eri Mukama naye anaamusaasira, adde eri Katonda waffe
kubanga anaamusonyiyira ddala.
8 (H)“Kubanga ebirowoozo byange si birowoozo byammwe
era n’amakubo gammwe si ge makubo gange,”
bw’ayogera Mukama.
9 (I)“Ng’eggulu bwe liri waggulu okukira n’ensi,
bwe gatyo amakubo gange bwe gali ewala ennyo n’amakubo gammwe,
n’ebirowoozo byange bwe biri eri ebirowoozo byammwe.
10 (J)Era ng’enkuba bwetonnya
n’omuzira ne gugwa okuva mu ggulu
n’ebitaddayo,
wabula ne bifukirira ettaka, ebirime ne bikula,
ne bimerusa ensigo z’omusizi,
era ne biwa omuli emmere,
11 (K)bwe kityo ekigambo kyange ekiva mu kamwa kange bwe kiri;
tekiriddayo bwereere,
naye kirikola ekyo kye njagala
era kirituukiriza ekyo kye nakituma.
12 (L)Kubanga mulifuluma n’essanyu
ne mugenda mirembe,
ensozi n’obusozi nabyo
ne bitandika okuyimba nga bibalabye,
n’emiti gyonna
ne gitendereza n’essanyu.
13 (M)Mu kifo ky’omweramannyo mulimeramu olusambya,
ne mu kifo ky’omutovu mulimeramu omumwanyi.
Era kino kiribaawo erinnya lya Mukama limanyibwe
era ako ke kaliba akabonero akataliggwaawo
ak’emirembe n’emirembe.”
Isaiah 55
English Standard Version
The Compassion of the Lord
55 (A)“Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
(B)come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
2 (C)Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me;
(D)hear, that your soul may live;
(E)and I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
(F)my steadfast, sure love for (G)David.
4 (H)Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples,
(I)a leader and commander for the peoples.
5 (J)Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know,
and (K)a nation that did not know you shall run to you,
because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel,
(L)for he has glorified you.
6 (M)“Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
9 (N)For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 (O)“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
(P)giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but (Q)it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
12 (R)“For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
(S)the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 (T)Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the Lord,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
Isaiah 55
New King James Version
An Invitation to Abundant Life
55 “Ho! (A)Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
(B)Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
2 Why do you [a]spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
3 Incline your ear, and (C)come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
(D)And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The (E)sure mercies of David.
4 Indeed I have given him as (F)a witness to the people,
(G)A leader and commander for the people.
5 (H)Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
(I)And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
(J)For He has glorified you.”
6 (K)Seek the Lord while He may be (L)found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
7 (M)Let the [b]wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man (N)his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
(O)And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8 “For(P) My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For(Q) as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For (R)as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 (S)So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me [c]void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall (T)prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12 “For(U) you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall (V)break forth into singing before you,
And (W)all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 (X)Instead of (Y)the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord (Z)for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
