Esias 24
1 Behold, the Lord is about to lay waste the world, and will make it desolate, and will lay bare the surface of it, and scatter them that dwell therein.
Laba Mukama alifuula ensi amatongo, agimalirewo ddala, era azikirize n’obwenyi bwayo era asaasaanye n’abagibeeramu.
2 And the people shall be as the priest, and the servant as the lord, and the maid as the mistress; the buyer shall be as the seller, the lender as the borrower, and the debtor as his creditor.
Bwe kityo bwe kiriba, ekiriba ku kabona kye kiriba ne ku bantu, ekiriba ku mwami kye kiriba ne ku muweereza omusajja, ekiriba ku mugole we kye kiriba ne ku muweereza we omukazi, ekiriba ku atunda kye kiriba ne ku muguzi, ekiriba ku awola kye kiriba ne ku yeewola, ekiriba ku abanja kye kiriba ne ku abanjibwa.
3 The earth shall be completely laid waste, and the earth shall be utterly spoiled: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken these things.
Okumalibwamu ensa, ensi erimalibwamu ddala ensa, n’okunyagibwa, erinyagibwa. Mukama Katonda y’akyogedde.
4 The earth mourns, and the world is ruined, the lofty ones of the earth are mourning.
Ensi ekala n’eggwaamu obulamu, ensi ekala n’ewuubaala, abantu ab’ekitiibwa baggwaamu amaanyi.
5 And she has sinned by reason of her inhabitants; because they have transgressed the law, and changed the ordinances, [even] the everlasting covenant.
Ensi eyonooneddwa abantu baayo, bajeemedde amateeka, bamenye ebiragiro, ne bamenyawo n’endagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.
6 Therefore a curse shall consume the earth, because the inhabitants thereof have sinned: therefore the dwellers in the earth shall be poor, and few men shall be left.
Noolwekyo ekikolimo kimalawo ensi; n’abantu baayo bateekwa okusasula olw’omusango ogwabasinga. Abatuuze b’ensi bayidde, Era abatono be basigaddewo.
7 The wine shall mourn, the vine shall mourn, all the merry-hearted shall sigh.
Wayini omusu aggwaamu, n’omuzabbibu gukala, ab’amasanyu bonna bakaaba olw’obulumi.
8 The mirth of timbrels has ceased, the sound of the harp has ceased.
Okujaguza kw’ebitaasa kusirise, n’oluyoogaano lw’abo ababeera mu masanyu lusirise, entongooli esanyusa esirise.
9 They are ashamed, they have not drunk wine; strong drink has become bitter to them that drink [it].
Tebakyanywa nvinnyo nga bwe bayimba, n’omwenge gukaayira abagunywa.
10 All the city has become desolate: one shall shut his house so that none shall enter.
Ekibuga ekyazikirizibwa kisigadde nga matongo, na buli mulyango oguyingira mu nnyumba guzibiddwa.
11 There is a howling for the wine everywhere; all the mirth of the land has ceased, all the mirth of the land has departed.
Bakaabira envinnyo mu nguudo, n’essanyu lyonna liweddewo, n’okujaguza kwonna tekukyaliwo mu nsi.
12 And cities shall be left desolate, and houses being left shall fall to ruin.
Ekibuga kizikiridde wankaaki waakyo amenyeddwamenyeddwa.
13 All this shall be in the land in the midst of the nations, as if one should strip an olive tree, so shall they strip them; but when the vintage is done,
Bwe kityo bwe kiriba ku nsi ne mu mawanga ng’omuzeyituuni bwe gunyeenyezebwa oba ng’ebinywa ebisigaddewo bwe bibeera oluvannyuma lw’okukungula kw’ezabbibu.
14 these shall cry aloud; and they that are left on the land shall rejoice together in the glory of the Lord: the water of the sea shall be troubled.
Bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe, baleekaana olw’essanyu, batendereza ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda okuva mu bugwanjuba.
15 Therefore shall the glory of the Lord be in the isles of the sea; the name of the Lord shall be glorious.
Noolwekyo abo abali mu buvanjuba mugulumize Mukama, mutendereze erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, mu bizinga eby’ennyanja.
16 O Lord God of Israel, from the ends of the earth we have heard wonderful things, [and there is] hope to the godly: but they shall say, Woe to the despisers, that despise the law.
Tuwulira okuyimba okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi, “Ekitiibwa kibeere eri Omutuukirivu.” Naye ne njogera nti, “Nsanawo, nsanawo. Zinsaze. Ab’olukwe balya mu bannaabwe olukwe, Ab’enkwe bakozesa enkwe okulya mu bannaabwe olukwe.”
17 Fear, and a pit, and a snare, are upon you that dwell on the earth.
Entiisa n’obunnya n’omutego bibalindiridde, mmwe abantu b’ensi.
18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the pit shall be caught by the snare: for windows have been opened in heaven, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken,
Buli alidduka eddoboozi ery’entiisa, aligwa mu kinnya, na buli alirinnya n’ava mu kinnya alikwatibwa mu mutego. Enzigi z’eggulu ziguddwawo, N’emisingi gy’ensi gikankana.
19 the earth shall be utterly confounded, and the earth shall be completely perplexed.
Ensi emenyeddwamenyeddwa, ensi eyawuliddwamu, ensi ekankanira ddala.
20 It reels as a drunkard and one oppressed with wine, and the earth shall be shaken as a storehouse of fruits; for iniquity has prevailed upon it, and it shall fall, and shall not be able to rise.
Ensi etagala ng’omutamiivu, eyuugayuuga ng’akasiisira bwe kayuugayuuga mu kibuyaga, omusango gwe gumulumiriza nnyo olw’obujeemu bwe, era ensi egwa n’etaddamu kuyimuka.
21 And God shall bring [his] hand upon the host of heaven, and upon the kings of the earth.
Ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda alibonereza ab’amaanyi abali waggulu mu bwengula, ne bakabaka abali wansi ku nsi.
22 And they shall gather the multitude thereof into prisons, and they shall shut them into a strong hold: after many generations they shall be visited.
Balikuŋŋaanyirizibwa wamu ng’abasibe bwe bakuŋŋanyirizibwa mu kkomera, era baliweebwa ekibonerezo eky’okuggalirwa mu kkomera ennaku ennyingi.
23 And the brick shall decay, and the wall shall fall; for the Lord shall reign from out of Sion, and out of Jerusalem, and shall be glorified before [his] elders.
Omwezi gulitabulwatabulwa, n’enjuba eriswazibwa; Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alifugira mu kitiibwa ku Lusozi Sayuuni ne mu Yerusaalemi, ne mu maaso g’abakadde.
