Isaiah 7
1 In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Awo olwatuuka mu mirembe gya Akazi omwana wa Yosamu, omwana wa Uzziya, kabaka wa Yuda, Lezini kabaka w’e Busuuli, ne Peka omwana wa Lemaliya, kabaka wa Isirayiri ne bambuka okulwanyisa Yerusaalemi naye ne balemererwa.
2 David’s house was told, “Syria is allied with Ephraim.” His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
Amawulire bwe gatuuka eri Kabaka wa Yuda nti, “Obusuuli bwegasse ne Efulayimu okubalumba”; omutima gwe n’egy’abantu ba Yuda bonna ne gikankana, ne giba ng’emiti egy’omu kibira eginyeenyezebwa embuyaga.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.
Mukama Katonda n’alyoka agamba Isaaya nti, “Fuluma kaakano osisinkane Akazi, ggwe ne mutabani wo Seyalusayubu, olusalosalo olw’ekidiba ekyengulu we lukoma, mu luguudo olw’Ennimiro y’Omwozi w’Engoye,
4 Tell him, ‘Be careful, and keep calm. Do not be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking torches, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
omugambe nti, ‘Weegendereze, beera mukkakkamu toba na kutya omutima gwo teguggwaamu maanyi olw’emimuli gino eginyooka egiggweeredde, olw’obusungu bwa Lezini, n’obwa Obusuuli n’obw’omwana wa Lemaliya obubuubuuka.’
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
Kubanga Obusuuli ne Efulayimu ne mutabani wa Lemaliya bateesezza okukuleetako obulabe nga boogera nti,
6 “Let’s go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let’s divide it among ourselves, and set up a king within it, even the son of Tabeel.”
‘Ka twambuke tulumbe Yuda, tukiyuzeeyuze tukyegabanye, tufuule omwana wa Tabeeri okuba kabaka waakyo.’
7 This is what the Lord GOD says: “It shall not stand, neither shall it happen.”
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ekyo tekiibeewo era tekirituukirira.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people.
Kubanga Damasiko ge maanyi ga Busuuli era ne Lezini ge maanyi ga Damasiko. Mu bbanga lya myaka nkaaga mu etaano Efulayimu kiribetentebwatentebwa nga tekikyali ggwanga.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’”
Ne Samaliya ge maanyi ga Efulayimu, era mutabani wa Lemaliya ge maanyi ga Samaliya. Bwe mutalinywerera mu kukkiriza kwammwe, ddala temuliyimirira n’akatono.’”
10 The LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’addamu n’agamba Akazi nti,
“Saba Mukama Katonda wo akabonero, ne bwe kanaaba mu buziba, oba mu magombe oba mu bwengula.” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask. I will not tempt the LORD.”
Naye Akazi n’agamba nti, “Sijja kusaba kabonero, sijja kugezesa Mukama Katonda.”
13 He said, “Listen now, house of David. Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
Isaaya n’ayogera nti, “Muwulire mmwe kaakano, mmwe ennyumba ya Dawudi! Okugezesa abantu tekibamala? Ne Katonda munaamugezesa?
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Noolwekyo Mukama yennyini kyaliva abawa akabonero; laba omuwala atamanyi musajja alizaala omwana wabulenzi era alituumibwa erinnya Emmanweri.
15 He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.
Bw’alituuka okwawula ekirungi n’ekibi aliba alya muzigo na mubisi gwa njuki.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
Kubanga ng’omwana bw’aba nga tannamanya kugaana kibi n’alondawo ekirungi, ensi eza bakabaka ababiri bootya erisigala matongo.
17 The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, even the king of Assyria.
Mukama Katonda alikuleetako ne ku bantu bo ne ku nnyumba ya kitaawo ennaku ezitabangawo bukyanga Efulayimu eva ku Yuda; agenda kuleeta kabaka w’e Bwasuli.”
18 It will happen in that day that the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Olunaku olwo nga lutuuse, Mukama Katonda alikoowoola ensowera eri mu bifo eby’ewala eby’emigga egy’e Misiri, n’enjuki eri mu nsi y’e Bwasuli.
19 They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.
Era byonna birijja bituule mu biwonvu ebyazika, ne mu njatika z’omu mayinja, ku maggwa, ne ku malundiro gonna.
20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
Ku lunaku luli Mukama alimwesa akawembe akapangisiddwa emitala w’emigga, ye kabaka w’e Bwasuli, kammwe omutwe, n’obwoya bw’oku magulu, kasalireko ddala n’ekirevu.
21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep.
Newaakubadde mu nnaku ezo, ng’omuntu alisigaza ente emu yokka n’endiga bbiri,
22 It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.
naye olw’obungi bw’amata agabivaamu, alirya ku muzigo. Kubanga buli alisigalawo mu nsi alirya muzigo na mubisi gwa njuki.
23 It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, will be for briers and thorns.
Era ng’olunaku lutuuse, buli kifo awaabanga emizabbibu, ng’olukumi lubalibwamu kilo kkumi n’emu n’ekitundu, kiriba kisigaddemu myeramannyo n’amaggwa.
24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
Abantu baligendayo na busaale na mitego, kubanga ensi yonna eriba efuuse myeramannyo na maggwa.
25 All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”
N’ensozi zonna ze baalimanga n’enkumbi nga tezikyatuukikako olw’okutya emyeramannyo n’amaggwa, era kirifuuka ekifo ente n’endiga we byerundira.
