Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
Obubaka bwa Babulooni Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi bwe yalaba.
2 Lift up a banner upon a bare mountain, raise the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
Muwanike bbendera ku lusozi olutaliiko bantu, mubakaabirire mubawenye bayingire mu miryango gy’abakungu.
3 I have commanded my hallowed ones, I have also called my mighty men for mine anger, them that rejoice in my highness.
Nze Mukama ndagidde abatukuvu bange mpise abalwanyi bange ab’amaanyi, babonereze abo abeeyisaawo abeemanyi.
4 The noise of a multitude on the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled together: Jehovah of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
Muwulirize oluyoogaano lw’ekibiina ku nsozi, nga luwulikika ng’olw’ogubiina ogunene! Wuliriza, oluyoogaano lw’obwakabaka, olw’amawanga ag’ekuŋŋaanyizza awamu! Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ateekateeka eggye lye okulwana.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens — Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation — to destroy the whole land.
Bava wala mu nsi ezeewala ennya okuva ku nkomerero y’eggulu. Mu busungu bwe Mukama Katonda aleese ebyokulwanyisa eby’okuzikiriza ensi yonna.
6 Howl, for the day of Jehovah is at hand; it cometh as destruction from the Almighty.
Mukungubage, kubanga olunaku lwa Mukama luli kumpi, lulijja ng’okuzikirira okuva eri Mukama Katonda bwe kuba!
7 Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt,
Emikono gyonna kyegiriva giggwaamu amaanyi, na buli mutima gwa muntu gulisaanuuka;
8 and they shall be terrified: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them, they shall writhe as a woman that travaileth; they shall be amazed one at another, their faces shall be as flames.
era bakeŋŋentererwe n’okubalagala kulibakwata, balyoke balumwe ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala. Balitunulaganako nga bawuniikiridde amaaso gaabwe nga gatangaalirira.
9 Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the earth desolate; and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
Laba olunaku lwa Mukama lujja, olunaku olubi ennyo olw’ekiruyi n’obusungu obubuubuuka okufuula ensi amatongo, n’okuzikiriza abakozi b’ebibi okubamalamu.
10 For the stars of the heavens and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Kubanga emmunyeenye ez’omu ggulu n’ebibiina byazo tebiryaka; enjuba nayo teryaka nga bw’ekola bulijjo, n’omwezi nagwo tegulyaka.
11 And I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will make the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will bring low the haughtiness of the violent.
Ndibonereza ensi olw’okwonoona kw’ayo, n’abakozi b’ebibi olw’ebyonoono byabwe. Era ndimalawo okweyisa kw’ab’amalala era nzikakkanya okwenyumiriza kw’abo abakambwe.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even man than the gold of Ophir.
Abantu ndibafuula abebbula okusinga zaabu ennongoose eya ofiri.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens to shake, and the earth shall be removed out of her place, at the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Noolwekyo ndikankanya eggulu, era n’ensi ngiyuuguumye okuva mu kifo kyayo, olw’obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, ku lunaku lw’obusungu bwe obungi.
14 And it shall be as with a chased roe, and as with a flock that no man gathereth together; every one shall turn to his own people, and every one flee into his own land.
Era ng’empeewo eyiggibwa, ng’endiga eteriiko agirunda, buli muntu aliddukira eri abantu be buli muntu aliddukira mu nsi y’ewaabwe.
15 All that are found shall be thrust through; and every one that is in league [with them] shall fall by the sword.
Buli anaalabwangako ng’ekitala kimuyitamu, buli gwe banaakwatangako ng’attibwa n’ekitala.
16 And their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes, their houses shall be rifled, and their women ravished.
N’abaana baabwe abawere banabetenterwanga mu maaso gaabwe nga balaba; ennyumba zaabwe zinyagibwe, n’abakazi baabwe bakwatibwe olw’empaka.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who do not regard silver, and as for gold, they have no delight in it.
Laba, ndibayimbulira Abameedi, abatafa ku ffeeza era abateeguya zaabu.
18 And [their] bows shall dash the young men to pieces, and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb: their eye shall not spare children.
Emitego gyabwe girikuba abavubuka era tebaliba na kisa eri abawere. Amaaso gaabwe tegalisaasira baana bato.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Ne Babulooni, ekitiibwa eky’obwakabaka, obulungi obw’okwemanya kw’Abakaludaaya, kiriba nga Sodomu ne Ggomola Katonda bye yawamba.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in, even to generation and generation; nor shall Arabian pitch tent there, nor shepherds make fold there.
Tekiriddamu kusulwamu ennaku zonna, so tekiribeerwamu emirembe n’emirembe, so teri Muwalabu alisimbayo weema ye, teri musumba aligalamizaayo ggana lye kuwummulirayo.
21 But beasts of the desert shall lie there, and their houses shall be full of owls; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there.
Naye ensolo enkambwe ez’omu ddungu ze zinaagalamirangayo; ennyumba zijjule ebintu ebiwoowoola; bammaaya banaabeeranga eyo, n’ebikulekule bibuukire eyo.
22 And jackals shall cry to one another in their palaces, and wild dogs in the pleasant castles. And her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
N’empisi zinaakaabiranga mu bigulumu by’ebigo byabwe, ebibe bikaabire mu mbiri zaabwe ezitemagana. Ekiseera kyakyo kinaatera okutuuka, ennaku ze teziryongerwako.
