Isaiah 3
1 For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,
Laba kaakano, Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, aggya ku Yerusaalemi ne ku Yuda ekibeesiguza ne kwe banyweredde, ekibeesiguza kyonna k’ebeere mmere, ka gabe mazzi.
2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,
Omusajja ow’amaanyi, n’omusajja omulwanyi omuzira, omulamuzi, ne nnabbi, n’omulaguzi, n’omukadde.
3 the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.
Omuduumizi akulira ekibinja ky’amakumi ataano, n’omuwi w’amagezi, omulogo, omufuusa omugezigezi.
4 “I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”
“Era ndifuula abalenzi obulenzi okuba abafuzi baabwe, n’abaana obwana balibafuga.”
5 The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.
Era abantu balijooga bannaabwe, buli muntu anyigirize munne, ne muliraanwa anyigirize muliraanwa we. Abato baliyisa mu bakulu amaaso n’oyo omuntu ataliiko bw’ali ajooge omuntu ow’ekitiibwa.
6 A man will seize his brother within his father’s house: “You have a cloak—you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of rubble.”
Ekiseera kirituuka omusajja agambe muganda we nti, “Ggwe alina ku ngoye ba omukulembeze waffe, n’ebizibu bino ggwe oba obyetikka!”
7 On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”
Naye ku olwo lwennyini aliddamu nti, “Si nze n’aba ow’okubawonya, mu nnyumba yange temuli mmere, wadde ebyambalo. Temumpa kukulembera bantu!”
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.
Kubanga Yerusaalemi kizikiridde ne Yuda agudde! Kubanga ebigambo byabwe byonna n’ebikolwa biwakanya Mukama Katonda, bityoboola ekitiibwa kye.
9 The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.
Engeri gye batunulamu eragira ddala nga bwe balina omusango, era boolesa ekibi kyabwe nga Sodomu awatali kukweka n’akatono. Zibasanze! Kubanga bo bennyini be beereeteedde okuzikirira.
10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.
Gamba abatuukirivu nti bo tebaabeeko mutawaana, kubanga baakuwoomerwa ebibala by’ebikolwa byabwe.
11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.
Zisanze abakozi b’ebivve! Banaatuuka mu kuzikirira! Balisasulibwa emikono gyabwe kye gikoze.
12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.
Abantu bange banyigirizibwa abaana abato, abakazi kaakano be babafuga. Woowe! Abantu bange bakyamizibwa abakulembeze baabwe era babatabulatabula okubaggya mu kkubo ettuufu.
13 The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.
Mukama Katonda ali mu kifo kye mu mbuga, ayimiridde okusalira abantu be omusango.
14 The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
Mukama Katonda asala omusango gw’abakadde n’abakulembeze b’abantu be. “Mmwe mwayonoona ennimiro yange ey’emizabbibu. Ebyanyagibwa ku baavu biri mu nnyumba zammwe.
15 Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?”
Lwaki mulinnyirira abantu bange, lwaki mutulugunya abaavu?” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
16 The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty— walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—
Mukama Katonda agamba nti, “Abakazi b’omu Sayuuni beemanyi, era batambula balalambazza ensingo nga batunuza bukaba. Batambula basiira nga bavuza obukomo bw’oku magulu gaabwe.
17 the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”
Mukama kyaliva aleeta amabwa ku mitwe gy’abakazi ba Sayuuni, ne gifuuka gya biwalaata.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;
Olunaku lujja Mukama lwaliggya ku bakazi b’omu Yerusaalemi ebintu byonna ebibaleetera amalala, ebikomo by’oku magulu, ebitambaala ebibikka ku mitwe, n’obukuufiira,
19 their pendants, bracelets, and veils;
ebyokumatu, ebyambalwa mu bulago, n’obutimba bw’omu maaso,
20 their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;
ebyokumitwe, ebyokumikono, ebyomukiwato,
21 their signet rings and nose rings;
empeta ez’oku ngalo n’ez’omu nnyindo,
22 their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses;
engoye ennungi, n’eminagiro, n’amaganduula, n’obusawo,
23 and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.
n’endabirwamu, n’engoye ez’obutimba, n’eza linena, n’ebitambaala eby’oku mitwe ebinaanikiddwa n’amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’engoye ezibabikka.
24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.
Mu kifo ky’akaloosa walibaawo kuwunya kivundu, awandibadde enkoba ennungi wabeewo biguwa, n’awaali enviiri ennongoose obulungi wabeewo kiwalaata, mu kifo ky’engoye babeere mu nziina, n’awaali obulungi waddewo obulambe.
25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.
Abasajja bo balittibwa kitala, abalwanyi bo abazira bagwire mu lutalo.
26 And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.
N’enzigi za Sayuuni zirikaaba ne zikungubaga era ekibuga kyennyini kiriba ng’omukazi alekeddwa obwereere ng’atudde mu ttaka.
