Esias 26
1 In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
Mu biro ebyo oluyimba luno luliyimbibwa mu nsi ya Yuda. Tulina ekibuga eky’amaanyi; Katonda assaawo obulokozi okuba bbugwe waakyo n’ekigo kyakyo.
2 Open you the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
Ggulawo wankaaki, eggwanga ettukuvu liyingire, eggwanga erikuuma okukkiriza.
3 supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on you, O Lord,
Mukama alikuuma mirembe oyo amaliridde okumwesiga mu mutima gwe.
4 they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
Weesigenga Mukama ennaku zonna, kubanga emirembe giri waggulu mu Mukama, Mukama Katonda oyo atoowaza.
5 who have humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, you shall cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
Mukama lwe lwazi olutaggwaawo, akkakkanya ekibuga eky’amalala, akissa wansi ku ttaka, n’akisuula mu nfuufu.
6 And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
Kirinnyirirwa ebigere by’abanyigirizibwa, n’ebisinde by’abaavu.
7 The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
Ekkubo ly’abatuukirivu ttereevu; Ggwe atuukiridde, olongoosa olugendo lw’omutuukirivu.
8 For the way of the Lord is judgement: we have hoped in your name, and on the remembrance [of you],
Weewaawo Mukama Katonda tukulindirira nga tutambulira mu mateeka go, era erinnya lyo n’okumanyibwa kwo kwe kwegomba kw’emitima gyaffe.
9 which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks you very early in the morning, O God, for your commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, you that dwell upon the earth.
Omwoyo gwange gukuyaayaanira mu kiro, omwoyo gwange gukunoonyeza ddala. Bw’osalira ensi omusango, abantu b’ensi bayiga obutuukirivu.
10 For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
Omukozi w’ebibi ne bw’akolerwa ebyekisa, tayiga butuukirivu. Ne bw’abeera mu nsi ey’abatuukiridde, yeeyongera kukola bibi, era talaba kitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda.
11 O Lord, your arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
Mukama Katonda omukono gwo guyimusibbwa waggulu, naye tebagulaba. Ka balabe obunyiikivu bwo eri abantu bo baswazibwe, omuliro ogwaterekerwa abalabe bo ka gubamalewo.
12 O Lord our God, give us peace: for you have rendered to us all things.
Mukama Katonda, otuteekerateekera emirembe, n’ebyo byonna bye tukoze, ggw’obitukoledde.
13 O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside you: we name your name.
Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, abafuzi abalala batufuze nga wooli naye erinnya lyo lyokka lye tussaamu ekitiibwa.
14 But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore you have brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and have taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
Baafa, tebakyali balamu; egyo emyoyo egyagenda tegikyagolokoka. Wababonereza n’obazikiriza, wabasaanyizaawo ddala bonna, ne watabaawo akyabajjukira.
15 bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
Ogaziyizza eggwanga, Ayi Mukama Katonda ogaziyizza eggwanga. Weefunidde ekitiibwa, era ogaziyizza ensalo zonna ez’ensi.
16 Lord, in affliction I remembered you; your chastening was to us with small affliction.
Mukama Katonda, bajja gy’oli mu nnaku yaabwe, bwe wabakangavvula, tebaasobola na kukusaba mu kaama.
17 And as a woman in travail draws near to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to your beloved.
Ng’omukyala ow’olubuto anaatera okuzaala, bw’alumwa n’akaaba mu bulumi, bwe tutyo bwe twali mu maaso go, Ayi Mukama Katonda.
18 We have conceived, O Lord, because of your fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of your salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
Twali lubuto, twalumwa, naye twazaala mpewo Tetwaleeta bulokozi ku nsi, tetwazaala bantu ba nsi.
19 The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from you is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
Naye abafiira mu ggwe balirama, emibiri gyabwe girizuukira. Mugolokoke, muleekaane olw’essanyu. Ssuulwe wo ali ng’omusulo ogw’oku makya, ensi erizaala abafudde.
20 Go, my people, enter into your closets, shut your door, hide yourself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
Mugende abantu bange muyingire mu bisenge byammwe muggalewo enzigi zammwe. Mwekweke okumala akabanga katono, okutuusa ekiruyi kye lwe kirimuggwaako.
21 For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
Weewaawo laba Mukama Katonda ava mu kifo kye gy’abeera okubonereza abantu b’ensi olw’ebibi byabwe. Ensi erikwekula omusaayi ogwagiyiikako, era teriddayo nate kukweka abattibwa.
