< Isaiah 27 >

1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Mu biro ebyo, Mukama Katonda alibonereza n’ekitala kye, ekitala kye eky’amaanyi, ekikambwe era ekinene, alibonereza Lukwata omusota ogwekulungula, Lukwata omusota ogwezinga, atte n’ogusota gw’ennyanja.
2 In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.
Mu biro ebyo “Yimba oluyimba ku bibala eby’ennimiro ey’emizabbibu ebaze ebibala.
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
Nze Mukama Katonda, ennimiro nze ngirabirira era nze ngifukirira buli kiseera. Ngikuuma emisana n’ekiro Waleme kubaawo n’omu agikola akabi.
4 Fury is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
Siri munyiivu. Singa katazamiti n’amaggwa binnumba, nandibitabadde mu lutalo? Byonna nandibyokezza omuliro.
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me.
Oba si weewaawo ajje gye ndi afune obuddukiro, tutabagane, weewaawo tutabagane.”
6 In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud: and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
Mu biro ebijja Yakobo alisimba emirandira, Isirayiri aliroka n’amulisa n’ajjuza ensi yonna ebibala.
7 Hath he smitten him as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by him?
Mukama amukubye omuggo ng’akuba abo abaamukuba? Attiddwa nga be yatta, bwe battibwa?
8 In measure, when thou sendest her away, thou dost contend with her; he hath removed [her] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
Olwanagana naye n’omusobola, n’omuwaŋŋangusa, omugoba n’okuwuuma okw’amaanyi, ng’embuyaga ey’ebuvanjuba bw’efuuwa ku lunaku lwayo.
9 Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
Ekyo kye kiriggyawo omusango gwa Yakobo, era ekyo kye kiriba ekibala ekijjuvu ekiriggyawo ekibi kye. Bw’aliddira amayinja gonna ag’ekyoto okuba amayinja ag’ennoni agayasiddwayasiddwa, tewaliba Baasera newaakubadde ebyoto eby’okwoterezaako obubaane ebirisigala biyimiridde.
10 For the defenced city is solitary, an habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
Ddala ddala ekibuga ekyaliko enkomera kaakano matongo, ekirekeddwa awo ng’eddungu. Eyo ennyana gy’eriira era gy’egalamira, n’erya amalagala gonna ku matabi gaago.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
Amatabi gaakyo bwe gakala, gamenyebwako, abakazi ne bagakuŋŋaanya ne bagakumisa omuliro. Bano bantu abatategeera, eyamukola tamusaasira, n’eyamutonda tamukwatirwa kisa.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off [his fruit], from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
Mu biro ebyo Mukama alikusengejja okuva mu mazzi agakulukuta ag’Omugga Fulaati okutuuka ku mugga gw’e Misiri we guyiwa, era mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri mulikuŋŋaanyizibwa kinnoomu.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Era mu biro ebyo ekkondeere eddene lirivuga, n’abo abaali boolekedde okuzikiririra mu nsi y’e Bwasuli, n’abo abaali baawaŋŋangusizibbwa mu Misiri balikomawo ne basinza Mukama ku lusozi olutukuvu e Yerusaalemi.
