Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD lays waste the earth and leaves it in ruins. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants—
Laba Mukama alifuula ensi amatongo, agimalirewo ddala, era azikirize n’obwenyi bwayo era asaasaanye n’abagibeeramu.
2 people and priest alike, servant and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.
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 will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly plundered.
Okumalibwamu ensa, ensi erimalibwamu ddala ensa, n’okunyagibwa, erinyagibwa. Mukama Katonda y’akyogedde.
4 The earth mourns and withers; the world languishes and fades; the exalted of the earth waste away.
Ensi ekala n’eggwaamu obulamu, ensi ekala n’ewuubaala, abantu ab’ekitiibwa baggwaamu amaanyi.
5 The earth is defiled by its people; they have transgressed the laws; they have overstepped the decrees and broken the everlasting covenant.
Ensi eyonooneddwa abantu baayo, bajeemedde amateeka, bamenye ebiragiro, ne bamenyawo n’endagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.
6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants must bear the guilt; the earth’s dwellers have been burned, and only a few survive.
Noolwekyo ekikolimo kimalawo ensi; n’abantu baayo bateekwa okusasula olw’omusango ogwabasinga. Abatuuze b’ensi bayidde, Era abatono be basigaddewo.
7 The new wine dries up, the vine withers. All the merrymakers now groan.
Wayini omusu aggwaamu, n’omuzabbibu gukala, ab’amasanyu bonna bakaaba olw’obulumi.
8 The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.
Okujaguza kw’ebitaasa kusirise, n’oluyoogaano lw’abo ababeera mu masanyu lusirise, entongooli esanyusa esirise.
9 They no longer sing and drink wine; strong drink is bitter to those who consume it.
Tebakyanywa nvinnyo nga bwe bayimba, n’omwenge gukaayira abagunywa.
10 The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.
Ekibuga ekyazikirizibwa kisigadde nga matongo, na buli mulyango oguyingira mu nnyumba guzibiddwa.
11 In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.
Bakaabira envinnyo mu nguudo, n’essanyu lyonna liweddewo, n’okujaguza kwonna tekukyaliwo mu nsi.
12 The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.
Ekibuga kizikiridde wankaaki waakyo amenyeddwamenyeddwa.
13 So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.
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 They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD.
Bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe, baleekaana olw’essanyu, batendereza ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda okuva mu bugwanjuba.
15 Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
Noolwekyo abo abali mu buvanjuba mugulumize Mukama, mutendereze erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, mu bizinga eby’ennyanja.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” But I said, “I am wasting away! I am wasting away! Woe is me.” The treacherous betray; the treacherous deal in treachery.
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 Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of the earth.
Entiisa n’obunnya n’omutego bibalindiridde, mmwe abantu b’ensi.
18 Whoever flees the sound of panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the windows of heaven are open, and the foundations of the earth are 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 is utterly broken apart, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken violently.
Ensi emenyeddwamenyeddwa, ensi eyawuliddwamu, ensi ekankanira ddala.
20 The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a shack. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again.
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 In that day the LORD will punish the host of heaven above and the kings of the earth below.
Ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda alibonereza ab’amaanyi abali waggulu mu bwengula, ne bakabaka abali wansi ku nsi.
22 They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon and punished after many days.
Balikuŋŋaanyirizibwa wamu ng’abasibe bwe bakuŋŋanyirizibwa mu kkomera, era baliweebwa ekibonerezo eky’okuggalirwa mu kkomera ennaku ennyingi.
23 The moon will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed; for the LORD of Hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders with great glory.
Omwezi gulitabulwatabulwa, n’enjuba eriswazibwa; Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alifugira mu kitiibwa ku Lusozi Sayuuni ne mu Yerusaalemi, ne mu maaso g’abakadde.
