Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.
Laba, Kabaka alifuga mu butuukirivu, n’abafuzi balifuga mu bwenkanya.
2 Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land.
Buli muntu aliba ng’ekifo eky’okwekwekamu empewo, ng’ekiddukiro okuva eri kibuyaga, ng’emigga gy’amazzi mu ddungu, ng’ekisiikirize eky’olwazi olunene mu nsi ey’ennyonta.
3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
Olwo amaaso gaabo abalaba tegaliziba, n’amatu g’abo abawulira galiwuliriza.
4 The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.
Omutima gw’abatali bagumiikiriza gulimanya era gulitegeera, n’olulimi olw’abanaanaagira lulitereera ne boogera bulungi.
5 No longer will a fool be called noble, nor a scoundrel be respected.
Omusirusiru taliddayo kuyitibwa wa kitiibwa, newaakubadde omuntu omwonoonyi okuteekebwamu ekitiibwa.
6 For a fool speaks foolishness; his mind plots iniquity. He practices ungodliness and speaks falsely about the LORD; he leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.
Omusirusiru ayogera bya busirusiru, n’omutima gwe gwemalira ku kukola ebitali bya butuukirivu. Akola eby’obutatya Katonda, era ayogera bya bulimba ku Mukama, n’abayala abaleka tebalina kintu, n’abalumwa ennyonta abamma amazzi.
7 The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.
Empisa z’omwonoonyi si za butuukirivu. Akola entegeka ezitali za butuukirivu, alyoke azikirize abaavu n’ebigambo eby’obulimba, ensonga y’abali mu kwetaaga ne bw’eba nga ntuufu.
8 But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.
Naye omuntu ow’ekitiibwa akola entegeka za kitiibwa, era ku bikolwa bye eby’ekitiibwa kw’anywerera.
9 Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters.
Mmwe abakazi abateefiirayo, mugolokoke muwulirize eddoboozi lyange; mmwe abawala abawulira nga muli wanywevu, muwulire bye ŋŋamba.
10 In a little more than a year you will tremble, O secure ones. For the grape harvest will fail and the fruit harvest will not arrive.
Mu mwaka gumu oba n’okusingawo, mmwe abawulira nga muli wanywevu, mulitya, amakungula g’emizabbibu galifa, n’amakungula g’ebibala tegalijja.
11 Shudder, you ladies of leisure; tremble, you daughters of complacency. Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.
Mutye mmwe abakazi abateefiirayo, mukankane mmwe abawala abawulira nga muli wanywevu. Muggyeko engoye zammwe, mwesibe ebibukutu mu biwato byammwe.
12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines,
Munakuwalire ennimiro ezaali zisanyusa, olw’emizabbibu egyabalanga,
13 and for the land of my people, overgrown with thorns and briers— even for every house of merriment in this city of revelry.
n’olw’ensi ey’abantu bange, ensi eyamerangamu amaggwa ne katazamiti. Weewaawo mukaabire ennyumba zonna ezaali ez’amasanyu, na kino ekibuga ekyali eky’amasanyu.
14 For the palace will be forsaken, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become caves forever— the delight of wild donkeys and a pasture for flocks—
Weewaawo ekigo kirirekebwawo, ekibuga ekirimu oluyoogaano kirifuuka kifulukwa. Ebigo n’eminaala birifuuka ebitagasa ennaku zonna, ekifo ekisanyusa endogoyi, eddundiro ly’ebisibo,
15 until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high. Then the desert will be an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.
okutuusa Omwoyo lw’alitufukibwako okuva waggulu, n’eddungu ne lifuuka ennimiro engimu, n’ennimiro engimu n’erabika ng’ekibira.
16 Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.
Obwenkanya bulituula mu ddungu, n’obutuukirivu bulibeera mu nnimiro engimu.
17 The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.
Ekibala ky’obutuukirivu kiriba mirembe, n’ekiriva mu butuukirivu kiriba kusiriikirira na bwesige emirembe gyonna.
18 Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.
Abantu bange balibeera mu bifo eby’emirembe, mu maka amateefu mu bifo eby’okuwummuliramu ebitatawaanyizibwa.
19 But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink to the depths.
Omuzira ne bwe guligwa ne gukuba ekibira okukimalawo, n’ekibuga ne kiggirwawo ddala,
20 Blessed are those who sow beside abundant waters, who let the ox and donkey range freely.
ggwe oliraba omukisa, ng’osiga ensigo y’oku migga gyonna, n’ente zo n’endogoyi zo ne zirya nga zeeyagala.
