Isaiah 30
1 Woe to you, apostate children, saith the Lord, that you would take counsel, and not of me: and would begin a web, and not by my spirit, that you might add sin upon sin:
“Zibasanze abaana abajeemu, Abakola enteekateeka ezitali zange ne bazituukiriza ne batta omukago awatali Mwoyo wange ne bongera ekibi ku kibi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
2 Who walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, hoping for help in the strength of Pharao, and trusting in the shadow of Egypt.
“Baserengeta e Misiri nga tebanneebuuzizzaako, ne banoonya obuyambi ewa Falaawo, n’okuva eri ekisiikirize kya Misiri okuba obuddukiro.
3 And the strength of Pharao shall be to your confusion, and the confidence of the shadow of Egypt to your shame.
Naye obukuumi bwa Falaawo buliswazibwa, n’ekisiikirize kya Misiri kirikuswaza.
4 For thy princes were in Tanis, and thy messengers came even to Hanes.
Newaakubadde nga balina abakungu mu Zowani n’ababaka baabwe batuuse e Kanesi,
5 They were all confounded at a people that could not profit them: they were no help, nor to any profit, but to confusion and to reproach.
buli muntu aliswazibwa olw’eggwanga eritabagasa, abataleeta buyambi newaakubadde okuba ab’omugaso, okuggyako ensonyi n’ekivume,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south. In a land of trouble and distress, from whence come the lioness, and the lion, the viper and the flying basilisk, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels to a people that shall not be able to profit them.
Obunnabbi obukwata ku nsolo za Negevu bwe buno: Ababaka bayita mu nsi nga balaba ennaku ne batawaanyizibwa mu nsi erimu empologoma ensajja n’enkazi, erimu essalambwa n’omusota ogw’obusagwa nga batadde eby’obugagga byabwe ku ndogoyi, n’ebintu byabwe eby’omuwendo ku mabango g’eŋŋamira nga boolekedde ensi etaliimu magoba.
7 For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this: It is pride only, sit still.
Bagenda e Misiri, eterina kyeyinza kubayamba n’akatono. Kyenva muyita Lakabu ataliiko kyayinza kukola.
8 Now therefore go in and write for them upon box, and note it diligently in a book, and it shall be in the latter days for a testimony for ever.
Genda kaakano, okibawandiikire ku kipande, okiwandiike ku mizingo, kibabeererenga obujulizi obw’emirembe n’emirembe mu nnaku ezigenda okujja.
9 For it is a people that provoketh to wrath, and lying children, children that will not hear the law of God.
Weewaawo bano bantu bajeemu, baana balimba, baana abateetegese kuwulira biragiro bya Mukama.
10 Who say to the seers: See not: and to them that behold: Behold not for us those things that are right: speak unto us pleasant things, see errors for us.
Bagamba abalabi nti, “Temuddayo kufuna kwolesebwa,” N’eri bannabbi boogera nti, “Temuddayo kututegeeza kwolesebwa kutuufu. Mututegeeze ebitusanyusa, mulagule ebituwabya.
11 Take away from me the way, turn away the path from me, let the Holy One of Israel cease from before us.
Muve mu kkubo lino, mukyame muve ku luguudo luno, mulekeraawo okututegeeza ku Mutukuvu wa Isirayiri.”
12 Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because you have rejected this word, and have trusted in oppression and tumult, and have leaned upon it:
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri nti, “Olw’okugaana obubaka buno, ne mwesiga okunyigirizibwa, ne mwesiga omulimba,
13 Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a breach that falleth, and is found wanting in a high wall, for the destruction thereof shall come on a sudden, when it is not looked for.
ekibi kino kyekiriva kikufuukira bbugwe omuwanvu, alimu enjatika era azimbye, okutemya n’okuzibula ng’agudde.
14 And it shall be broken small, as the potter’s vessel is broken all to pieces with mighty breaking, and there shall not a sherd be found of the pieces thereof, wherein a little fire may be carried from the hearth, or a, little water be drawn out of the pit.
Alimenyekamenyeka mu bitundutundu ng’ensumbi eyakolebwa mu bbumba, n’asaasaanyizibwa awatali kusaasira, era tewaliba luggyo ku byamenyekamenyeka olulirabika okusobola okuyoozesa omuliro mu kyoto, oba okusenyesa amazzi mu kinnya.”
15 For thus saith the Lord God the Holy One of Israel: If you return and be quiet, you shall be saved: in silence and in hope shall your strength be. And you would not:
Weewaawo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri nti, “Mu kwenenya ne mu kuwummula mwe muli obulokozi bwammwe, mu kusiriikirira ne mu kwesiga mwe muli amaanyi gammwe, naye temufuddeeyo.
16 But have said: No, but we will flee to horses: therefore shall you flee. And we will mount upon swift ones: therefore shall they be swifter that shall pursue after you.
Wayogera nti, ‘Nedda tuliddukira ku mbalaasi.’ Kyoliva odduka. Wayogera nti, ‘Tuliddukira ku mbalaasi ezidduka ennyo.’ Ababagoba kyebaliva bawenyuka emisinde.
17 A thousand men shall flee for fear of one: and for fear of five shall you flee, till you be left as the mast of a ship on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign upon a hill.
Abantu olukumi balidduka olw’okutiisibwatiisibwa kw’omuntu omu; Olw’okutiisibwatiisibwa kw’abataano, olidduka, Okutuusa lw’olisigala ng’omulongooti okuwanikibwa bbendera oguli ku ntikko y’olusozi, ng’ebendera eri ku kasozi.”
18 Therefore the Lord waiteth that be may have mercy on you: and therefore shall he be exalted sparing you: because the Lord is the God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Songa Mukama ayagala nnyo okuba ow’ekisa gy’oli; era agolokoka okukulaga okusaasira. Kubanga Mukama Katonda wa bwenkanya, balina omukisa bonna abamulindirira.
19 For the people of Sion shall dwell in Jerusalem: weeping thou shalt not weep, he will surely have pity on thee: at the voice of thy cry, as soon as he shell hear, he will answer thee.
Mmwe abantu ba Sayuuni ababeera mu Yerusaalemi, temuliddayo kukaaba. Alikukwatirwa ekisa bw’olimukaabira ng’omusaba akuyambe. Amangwago ng’awulidde, alikwanukula.
20 And the Lord will give you spare bread, and short water: and will not cause thy teacher to flee away from thee any more, and thy eyes shall see thy teacher.
Newaakubadde nga Mukama akuwa omugaati ogw’okulaba ennaku, n’amazzi ag’okubonaabona, abasomesa bo tebaliddamu kukwekebwa, era olibalaba n’amaaso go.
21 And thy ears shall hear the word of one admonishing thee behind thy back: This is the way, walk ye in it: and go not aside neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
Bw’olidda ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ku gwa kkono, amatu go galiwulira eddoboozi emabega wo nga ligamba nti, “Lino ly’ekkubo, litambuliremu.”
22 And thou shalt defile the plates of thy graven things of silver, and the garment of thy molten things of gold, and shalt cast them away as the uncleanness of a menstruous woman. Thou shalt say to it: Get thee hence.
Olwo olyonoonayonoona ebintu ebyakolebwa n’emikono ebiriko ffeeza, n’ebifaananyi byo ebyabikkibwako zaabu, era olibisuula nga bw’osuula ekiwero ekikozesebwa mu nsonga za bakyala era olibigamba nti, “Muveewo.”
23 And rain shall be given to thy seed, wheresoever thou shalt sow in the land: and the bread of the corn of the land shall be most plentiful, and fat. The lamb in that day shall feed at large in thy possession:
Alibaweereza n’enkuba olw’ensigo z’osiga mu ttaka, n’emmere eva mu ttaka eggimu nga nnyingi. Mu biro ebyo ente zo ziririira mu ddundiro eggazi.
24 And thy oxen, and the ass colts that till the ground, shall eat mingled provender as it was winnowed in the floor.
Ente n’endogoyi ezirima ettaka zirirya omuddo ogwaterekebwa n’emmere ensotte, eyawewebwa n’ekitiiyo eky’amannyo.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every elevated hill rivers of running waters in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower shall fall.
Mu biro eby’okuttibwa okunene, emirongooti bwe girigwa, emigga gy’amazzi girikulukuta ku buli lusozi oluwanvu na ku buli kasozi akagulumivu.
26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days: in the day when the Lord shall bind up the wound of his people, and shall heal the stroke of their wound.
Omwezi gulyaka ng’enjuba, n’omusana gulyaka emirundi musanvu okusinga ogwa bulijjo, ng’ekitangaala ky’ennaku omusanvu zonna awamu, Mukama bw’alinyiga ekinuubule ky’abantu be, n’awonya ekiwundu ky’abaakosebwa.
27 Behold the name of the Lord cometh from afar, his wrath burneth, and is heavy to bear: his lips are filled with indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire.
Laba, erinnya lya Mukama liva wala n’obusungu obubuubuuka n’omukka ogukutte ng’ekire; emimwa gye gijjudde ekiruyi, n’olulimi lwe muliro ogusaanyaawo.
28 His breath as a torrent overflowing even to the midst of the neck, to destroy the nations unto nothing, and the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.
Omukka gwe guli ng’omugga gw’amazzi agakulukuta n’amaanyi, agabimba okutuuka mu bulago. Anyeenyanyeenya amawanga mu kakuŋŋunta ak’okuzikirizibwa era mu mba z’abantu ateekamu eddobo ery’okubawabya.
29 You shall have a song as in the night of the sanctified solemnity, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe, to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the Mighty One of Israel.
Oluyimba luliba ng’olwo lwoyimba mu kiro ng’ojaguza ku mbaga entukuvu; omutima gwo gulijaguza ng’abantu bwe bajaguza nga bafuuwa endere ku lusozi lwa Mukama, ku lwazi lwa Isirayiri.
30 And the Lord shall make the glory of his voice to be heard, and shall shew the terror of his arm, in the threatening of wrath, and the dame of devouring fire: he shall crush to pieces with whirlwind, and hailstones.
Mukama aliyamba abantu okuwulira eddoboozi lye ery’ekitiibwa, alibaleetera okulaba omukono gwe nga gukka mu busungu obungi ennyo ne mu muliro ogusaanyaawo, ne mu bire ebibwatuka, ne mu muzira.
31 For at the voice of the Lord the Assyrian shall fear being struck with the rod.
Weewaawo eddoboozi lya Mukama lirisesebbula Bwasuli, alibakuba n’omuggo gwe ogw’obwakabaka.
32 And the passage of the rod shall be strongly grounded, which the Lord shall make to rest upon him with timbrels and harps, and in great battles he shall over throw them.
Buli muggo Mukama gw’anakukubanga n’oluga lwe olubonereza, guliba ng’ebivuga by’ebitaasa n’entongooli, ng’abalwanyisa n’omukono gwe mu ntalo.
33 For Topheth is prepared from yesterday, prepared by the king, deep, and wide. The nourishment thereof is fire and much wood: the breath of the Lord as a torrent of brimstone kindling it.
Weewaawo Tofesi amaze ebbanga ddene nga yeeteekateeka; ky’ateekebwateekebwa kabaka. Ekinnya kyakyo eky’omuliro kiwanvu era kigazi, kijjudde omuliro n’enku; omukka gwa Mukama gugukoleeza ng’omugga gwa salufa.
