Isaiah 25
1 O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honour to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.
Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, gwe Katonda wange; ndikugulumiza ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, kubanga okoze ebintu eby’ettendo, ebintu bye wateekateeka edda, mu bwesigwa bwo.
2 For you have made a town a waste place: a strong town a mass of broken walls; the tower of the men of pride has come to an end; it will never be put up again.
Ekibuga okifudde ntuumu ya bisasiro, ekibuga ekiriko ekigo okifudde matongo, ekibuga omwaddukiranga bannaggwanga tekikyali kibuga, tekirizimbibwa nate.
3 For this cause will the strong people give glory to you, the town of the cruel ones will be in fear of you.
Abantu ab’amaanyi kyebaliva bakussaamu ekitiibwa n’ebibuga eby’amawanga ag’entiisa birikutya.
4 For you have been a strong place for the poor and the crushed in their trouble, a safe place from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the wrath of the cruel ones is like a winter storm.
Ddala obadde kiddukiro eri abaavu, ekiddukiro eri oyo eyeetaaga, ekiddukiro ng’eriyo embuyaga n’ekisiikirize awali ebbugumu. Omukka gw’ab’entiisa guli ng’embuyaga ekuntira ku kisenge
5 As heat by the shade of a cloud, the noise of the men of pride has been made quiet by you; as heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the cruel ones has been stopped.
era ng’ebbugumu ery’omu ddungu. Osirisa oluyoogaano lw’abannaggwanga, era ng’ekisiikirize eky’ekire bwe kikendeeza ebbugumu, n’oluyimba lw’abakambwe bwe lusirisibwa.
6 And in this mountain will the Lord of armies make for all peoples a feast of good things, a feast of wines long stored, of good things sweet to the taste, of wines long kept and tested.
Ku lusozi luno Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye aliteekerateekerako abantu bonna ekijjulo eky’emmere ennungi, n’embaga eya wayini omuka n’ennyama esingayo obulungi, ne wayini asinga obulungi.
7 And in this mountain he will put an end to the shade covering the face of all peoples, and the veil which is stretched over all nations.
Ku lusozi luno alizikiriza ekibikka ekyetoolodde abantu bonna, n’eggigi eribikka amawanga gonna,
8 He has put an end to death for ever; and the Lord God will take away all weeping; and he will put an end to the shame of his people in all the earth: for the Lord has said it.
era alimalirawo ddala okufa. Mukama Katonda alisangula amaziga mu maaso gonna, era aliggyawo okuswazibwa kw’abantu be mu nsi yonna. Mukama ayogedde.
9 And in that day it will be said, See, this is our God; we have been waiting for him, and he will be our saviour: this is the Lord in whom is our hope; we will be glad and have delight in his salvation.
Mu biro ebyo balyogera nti, “Eky’amazima oyo ye Katonda waffe; twamwesiga n’atulokola. Ono ye Mukama Katonda twamwesiga; tusanyukire mu bulokozi bwe, era tumujagulizeemu.”
10 For in this mountain will the hand of the Lord come to rest, and Moab will be crushed down in his place, even as the dry stems of the grain are crushed under foot in the waste place.
Ddala omukono gwa Mukama Katonda guliwummulira ku lusozi luno, naye Mowaabu alirinnyirirwa wansi we, ng’essubi bwe lirinnyirirwa okukolamu ebijimusa.
11 And if he puts out his hands, like a man stretching out his hands in swimming, the Lord will make low his pride, however expert his designs.
Aligolola emikono gye, ng’omuwuzi bw’agolola emikono gye ng’awuga. Katonda alikkakkanya amalala ge newaakubadde ng’emikono gye gikola eby’amagezi.
12 And the strong tower of your walls has been broken by him, made low, and crushed even to the dust.
Alimenya bbugwe omuwanvu, n’amusuula, alimusuula ku ttaka, mu nfuufu.
