Esias 29
1 Alas for the city of Ariel, which David besieged. Gather you fruits year by year; eat you, for you shall eat with Moab.
Zikusanze ggwe Alyeri, Alyeri ekibuga Dawudi kye yabeeramu, yongera omwaka ku mwaka, n’entuuko zo ez’embaga zigende mu maaso.
2 For I will grievously afflict Ariel: and her strength and her wealth shall be mine.
Wabula ndizingiza Alyeri, alikuba ebiwoobe era alikungubaga, era aliba gye ndi ng’ekyoto kya Alyeri.
3 And I will compass you about like David, and will raise a mound about you, and set up towers round you.
Ndikuba olusiisira okukwetooloola wonna, era ndikwetoolooza eminaala, ne nkusaako ebifunvu.
4 And your words shall be brought down to the earth, and your words shall sink down to the earth, and your voice shall be as they that speak out of the earth, and your voice shall be lowered to the ground.
Olikkakkanyizibwa era olyogera ng’oli mu ttaka, n’ebigambo byo biriwulikika nga biri wansi nnyo ng’oli mu nfuufu. Eddoboozi lyo liriba ng’ery’oyo aliko akazimu nga liva mu ttaka, n’ebigambo byo biriba bya kyama nga biva mu nfuufu.
5 But the wealth of the ungodly shall be as dust from a wheel, and the multitude of them that oppress you as flying chaff, and it shall be suddenly as a moment,
Naye abalabe bo abangi baliba ng’enfuufu eweweddwa, n’ebibinja by’abakozi b’ebibi abasingayo obubi bibe ng’ebisasiro ebifuumuuka.
6 from the Lord of Hosts: for there shall be a visitation with thunder, and earthquake, and a loud noise, a rushing tempest, and devouring flame of fire.
Amangwago mu kaseera katono Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alikukyalira mu kubwatuuka ne mu musisi, ne mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, ne mu kibuyaga ne mu nnimi z’omuliro omukambwe oguzikiriza.
7 And the wealth of all the nations together, as many as have fought against Ariel, and all they that war against Jerusalem, and all who are gathered against her, and they that distress her, shall be as one that dreams in sleep by night.
Awo ebibinja by’amawanga gonna ebirwana ne Alyeri birimulumba, birirumba n’ekigo kye ne bimutaayiza; kiriba ng’ekirooto, ng’okwolesebwa mu kiro
8 And as men drink and eat in sleep, and when they have arisen, the dream is vain: and as a thirsty man dreams as if he drank, and having arisen is still thirsty, and his soul has desired in vain: so shall be the wealth of all the nations, as many as have fought against the mount Sion.
ng’omuntu alumwa enjala bw’aloota ng’alya naye bw’agolokoka n’asigala ng’akyalumwa enjala; oba ng’omuntu alumwa ennyonta bw’aloota ng’anywa naye n’agolokoka nga munafu ng’akyalumwa ennyonta. Ekyo kye kirituuka ku bibinja by’amawanga gonna agalwana n’Olusozi Sayuuni.
9 Faint you, and be amazed, and be overpowered, not with strong drink nor with wine.
Muwuniikirire era mwewuunye Muzibirire era muzibe amaaso; Batamiire, naye si na nvinnyo, batagala, naye si lwa mwenge.
10 For the Lord has made you to drink a spirit of deep sleep; and he shall close their eyes, and [the eyes] of their prophets and of their rulers, who see secret things.
Mukama akuwadde otulo tungi, azibye amaaso gammwe bannabbi, era abisse emitwe gyammwe abalabi.
11 And all these things shall be to you as the words of this sealed book, which if they shall give to a learnt man, saying, Read this, he shall then say, I can’t read [it], for it is sealed.
Okwolesebwa kuno kwonna tekulina makulu gy’oli okuggyako okuba ebigambo ebissibwako akabonero mu muzingo. Omuzingo bw’oguwa omuntu, asobola okusoma n’omugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde kino kisome,” ajja kukuddamu nti, “Sisobola, kuliko akabonero.”
12 And this book shall be given into the hands of a man that is unlearned, and [one] shall say to him, Read this; and he shall say, I am not learnt.
Oba omuzingo bw’oguwa omuntu atasobola kusoma, n’omugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde kino kisome,” ajja kukuddamu nti, “Simanyi kusoma.”
13 And the Lord has said, This people draw near to me with their mouth, and they honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me: but in vain do they worship me, teaching the commandments and doctrines of men.
Mukama agamba nti, “Abantu bano bansemberera n’akamwa kaabwe, ne banzisaamu ekitiibwa n’emimwa gyabwe, naye ng’emitima gyabwe gindi wala. Okunsinza kwe bansinza, biragiro abantu bye baayigiriza.
14 Therefore behold I will proceed to remove this people, and I will remove them: and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will hide the understanding of the prudent.
Noolwekyo, laba ŋŋenda kwewuunyisa abantu bano. Amagezi g’abagezi galizikirira, n’okutegeera kw’abategeevu kuliggwaawo.”
15 Woe to them that deepen their counsel, and not by the Lord. Woe to them that take secret counsel, and whose works are in darkness, and they say, Who has seen us? and who shall know us, or what we do?
Zibasanze abo abakola kyonna kye basobola okukweka Mukama enteekateeka zaabwe, abo abakola emirimu gyabwe mu kizikiza nga bagamba nti, “Ani atulaba? Ani alimanya?”
16 Shall you not be counted as clay of the potter? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, You did not form me? or the work to the maker, You have not made me wisely?
Mufuula ebintu ne birabika ng’omubumbi alowoozebwa okwenkanankana n’ebbumba. Ekyakolebwa kiyinza okwogera ku eyakikola nti, “Teyankola”? Ensuwa eyinza okugamba omubumbi nti, “Talina ky’amanyi”?
17 [Is it] not yet a little while, and Libanus shall be changed as the mountains of Chermel, and Chermel shall be reckoned as a forest?
Mu kiseera kitono, Lebanooni tekirifuulibwa nnimiro ngimu, n’ennimiro engimu n’erabika ng’ekibira?
18 And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and they that are in darkness, and they that are in mist: the eyes of the blind shall see,
Mu biro ebyo abaggavu b’amatu baliwulira ebigambo by’omuzingo, n’amaaso g’abazibe galizibuka okuva mu kiseera ekizibu ne mu kizikiza.
19 and the poor shall rejoice with joy because of the Lord, and they that had no hope amongst men shall be filled with joy.
Abawombeefu balisanyukira mu Mukama nate, n’abeetaaga balisanyukira mu Mutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
20 The lawless man has come to nothing, and the proud man has perished, and they that transgress mischievously have been utterly destroyed:
Weewaawo asinga obubi aliggwaawo, n’omunyoomi alibula, n’abo bonna abeesunga okukola obutali butuukirivu,
21 and they that cause men to sin by a word: and men shall make all that reprove in the gates an offence, because they have unjustly turned aside the righteous.
abo abakozesa ebigambo okufuula omuntu omusobya, abatega eyeerwanako mu mbuga z’amateeka, abawa obujulizi obw’obulimba, ne baleetera abataliiko musango obutawulirwa mu mbuga z’amateeka, balisalibwako.
22 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the house of Jacob, whom he set apart from Abraam, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall he now change countenance.
Noolwekyo Mukama eyanunula Ibulayimu bw’ati bw’ayogera eri ennyumba ya Yakobo nti, Yakobo taliddayo kuswazibwa, n’obwenyi bwabwe tebulisiiwuuka.
23 But when their children shall have seen my works, they shall sanctify my name for my sake, and they sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
Bwe baliraba omulimu gw’emikono gyange mu baana baabwe, balikuuma erinnya lyange nga ttukuvu. Balikakasa obutuukirivu bw’Omutukuvu wa Yakobo era baliyimirira ne beewuunya Katonda wa Isirayiri.
24 And they that erred in spirit shall know understanding, and the murmurers shall learn obedience, and the stammering tongues shall learn to speak peace.
Abo abaabula mu mwoyo balifuna okutegeera, n’abo abeemulugunya balikkiriza okuyigirizibwa.
