Isaaya 14
1 Mukama Katonda alikwatirwa Yakobo ekisa, addemu alonde Isirayiri abazze ku ttaka lyabwe. Ne bannamawanga balibeegattako era babeere wamu nga babeeyungiddeko ddala.
And the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and they shall rest on their land: and the stranger shall be added to them, yea, shall be added to the house of Jacob.
2 N’amawanga mangi galibayamba okudda mu nsi yaabwe, n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri ebeere n’abantu abamawanga amangi mu nsi ya Mukama Katonda, nga baweereza baabwe abasajja n’abakazi. Baliwamba abaali babawambye, bafuge abo abaabakijjanyanga.
And the Gentiles shall take them, and bring them into their place: and they shall inherit them, and they shall be multiplied upon the land for servants and handmaidens: and they that took them captives shall become captives [to them]; and they that had lordship over them shall be under [their] rule.
3 Awo olunaku Mukama Katonda lw’alibawa okuwummula okuva mu kulumwa kwammwe n’okukijjanyizibwa kwe mubaddemu nga mukozesebwa,
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and vexation, [and from] thy hard servitude wherein thou didst serve them.

And thou shalt take up this lamentation against the king of Babylon, How has the extortioner ceased, and the taskmaster ceased!
5 Mukama Katonda amenye omuggo ogw’abakozi b’ebibi, omuggo gw’obwakabaka ogw’abo abafuga.

All the earth cries aloud with joy:
8 Si ekyo kyokka n’enfugo n’emivule gya Lebanooni, nagyo gikuyeeyeereza nti, “Kasookanga ogwa tebangayo ajja kututema.”
the trees also of Libanus rejoice against thee, and the cedar of Libanus, [saying], From the time that thou hast been laid low, no one has come up to cut us down.
9 Amagombe wansi gagugumuka ku lulwo okukusisinkana ng’ojja, gagolokosa emyoyo gy’abafu ku lulwo, bonna abaali abakulembeze b’ensi; gayimusizza bakabaka ku ntebe zaabwe, bonna abaali bakabaka baamawanga. (Sheol h7585)
Hell from beneath is provoked to meet thee: all the great ones that have ruled over the earth have risen up together against thee, they that have raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)

But thou saidst in thine heart, I will go up to heaven, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven: I will sit on a lofty mount, on the lofty mountains toward the north:
14 ndyambuka okusinga ebire we bikoma, ndyoke nfuuke ng’oyo ali waggulu ennyo.”
I will go up above the clouds: I will be like the Most High.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain:
