Isaiah 14
1 For Jehovah will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in rest in their own land; and the stranger shall be united to them, and they shall be joined to the house of Jacob.
Mukama Katonda alikwatirwa Yakobo ekisa, addemu alonde Isirayiri abazze ku ttaka lyabwe. Ne bannamawanga balibeegattako era babeere wamu nga babeeyungiddeko ddala.
2 And the peoples shall take them and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and handmaids; and they shall take them captive whose captives they were, and they shall rule over their oppressors.
N’amawanga mangi galibayamba okudda mu nsi yaabwe, n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri ebeere n’abantu abamawanga amangi mu nsi ya Mukama Katonda, nga baweereza baabwe abasajja n’abakazi. Baliwamba abaali babawambye, bafuge abo abaabakijjanyanga.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that Jehovah shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and from thy trouble and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
Awo olunaku Mukama Katonda lw’alibawa okuwummula okuva mu kulumwa kwammwe n’okukijjanyizibwa kwe mubaddemu nga mukozesebwa,
4 that thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased, — the exactress of gold ceased!
oligera olugero luno ku kabaka w’e Babulooni n’oyogera nti: Omujoozi ng’agudde n’aggwaawo! Ekibuga ekya zaabu ekibadde kitutigomya nga tekikyaliwo!
5 Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers.
Mukama Katonda amenye omuggo ogw’abakozi b’ebibi, omuggo gw’obwakabaka ogw’abo abafuga.
6 He that smote the peoples in wrath with a relentless stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted unsparingly.
Ogwakubanga olutata amawanga n’obusungu, ogwafugisanga amawanga ekiruyi, ne gubayigganyanga nga tewali aguziyiza.
7 The whole earth is at rest, is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Ensi yonna ewummudde eri mu mirembe, era batandise okuyimba.
8 Even the cypresses rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, [saying, ] Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Si ekyo kyokka n’enfugo n’emivule gya Lebanooni, nagyo gikuyeeyeereza nti, “Kasookanga ogwa tebangayo ajja kututema.”
9 Sheol from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy coming, stirring up the dead for thee, all the he-goats of the earth; making to rise from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Amagombe wansi gagugumuka ku lulwo okukusisinkana ng’ojja, gagolokosa emyoyo gy’abafu ku lulwo, bonna abaali abakulembeze b’ensi; gayimusizza bakabaka ku ntebe zaabwe, bonna abaali bakabaka baamawanga. (Sheol h7585)
10 All of them shall answer and say unto thee, Art thou also become powerless as we; art thou become like unto us!
Abo bonna balyogera ne bakugamba nti, “Naawe oweddemu amaanyi nga ffe! Naawe ofuuse nga ffe!”
11 — Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol, the noise of thy lyres: the maggot is spread under thee, and worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
Ekitiibwa kyo kyonna kissibbwa emagombe, awamu n’amaloboozi g’ennanga zo; bakwalidde envunyu, n’ensiriŋŋanyi zikubisseeko. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the morning! Thou art cut down to the ground, that didst prostrate the nations!
Ng’ogudde okuva mu ggulu, ggwe emunyeenye ey’enkya, omwana w’emambya! Ng’otemeddwa n’ogwa ku ttaka, ggwe eyamegganga amawanga!
13 And thou that didst say in thy heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit upon the mount of assembly, in the recesses of the north;
Wayogera mu mutima gwo nti, “Ndirinnya mu ggulu, ndigulumiza entebe yange okusinga emunyeenye za Katonda; era nditeeka entebe yange waggulu ntuule ku lusozi olw’okukuŋŋaanirako ku njuyi ez’enkomerero ez’obukiikakkono;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High:
ndyambuka okusinga ebire we bikoma, ndyoke nfuuke ng’oyo ali waggulu ennyo.”
Naye ossibbwa wansi emagombe, ku ntobo y’obunnya. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee; they shall consider thee, [saying, ] Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms;
Abo abanaakulabanga banaakwekalirizanga bakwewuunye nga bagamba nti, “Ono si ye musajja eyayugumyanga ensi, ng’anyeenyanyeenya obwakabaka!
17 [that] made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; [that] dismissed not his prisoners homewards?
Eyafuula ensi okuba eddungu n’asuula ebibuga byayo, atakkirizanga bawambe kudda waabwe!”
18 — All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house;
Bakabaka bonna ab’ensi bagalamidde mu kitiibwa, buli omu mu ntaana ye,
19 but thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, covered with the slain — those thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit: like a carcase trodden under foot.
naye osuulibbwa okukuggya mu malaalo go ng’ettabi ery’omuzizo eryakyayibwa, ng’oteekeddwa wamu n’abattibwa, abaafumitibwa n’ekitala, abakka eri amayinja g’obunnya; ng’omulambo ogulinyiriddwa.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial; for thou hast destroyed thy land, hast slain thy people. Of the seed of evildoers no mention shall be made for ever.
Toligattibwa n’abo mu kuziikibwa kubanga wazikiriza ensi yo n’otta abantu bo; ezzadde ly’abo abaakola ebibi teriryongerwako n’akatono.
21 Prepare ye slaughter for his children, because of the iniquity of their fathers; that they may not rise up and possess the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Mutegeke ekifo batabani be we banattirwa olw’obutali butuukirivu bwa bakitaabwe, baleme okugolokoka ne balya ensi, ne bajjuza ensi yonna ebibuga byabwe.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and scion and descendant, saith Jehovah.
“Nange ndibagolokokerako,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, “ne mmalawo mu Babulooni erinnya lye, n’abalifikkawo, n’omwana n’omuzzukulu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
23 And I will make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts.
“Era ndimufuula obutaka bw’ebiwuugulu, n’entobazzi era mwere n’olweyo oluzikiriza,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
24 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn saying, Assuredly as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, it shall stand:
Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alayidde n’ayogera nti, “Ddala nga bwe nalowooza, bwe kirituukirira bwe kityo era nga bwe nateesa, bwe kirinywera bwe kityo.
25 to break the Assyrian in my land; and upon my mountains will I tread him under foot; and his yoke shall depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
Ndimenyera Omwasuli mu nsi yange, era ndimulinnyirira ku nsozi zange. Ekikoligo kye kiribavaako, n’omugugu gwe guliggyibwa ku kibegabega kye.”
26 This is the counsel which is purposed concerning the whole earth; and this is the hand which is stretched out upon all the nations.
Eno y’entegeka eyategekerwa ensi yonna: era guno gwe mukono ogwagololwa ku mawanga gonna.
27 For Jehovah of hosts hath purposed, and who shall frustrate [it]? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ye yateesa, kale ani ayinza okukijjulula? Omukono gwe gugoloddwa, kale ani ayinza okuguzzaayo?
28 In the year of the death of king Ahaz was this burden:
Mu mwaka kabaka Akazi mwe yafiira ne wabaawo obubaka buno.
29 Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a viper, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
Tosanyuka ggwe Bufirisuuti yonna, kubanga omuggo ogwakukuba gumenyese, ne ku kikolo ky’omusota kulivaako enswera, n’ezzadde lyalyo liriba musota ogw’obusagwa oguwalabuka.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; but I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
Abasingirayo ddala okuba abaavu balifuna ekyokulya, n’abali mu kwetaaga balifuna ku tulo naye ekikolo kyo ndikittisa enjala ate abo abalisigalawo mbattise ekitala.
31 Howl, O gate! cry, O city! thou, Philistia, art wholly dissolved; for there cometh from the north a smoke, and none remaineth apart in his gatherings [of troops].
Leekaana ggwe wankaaki, kaaba ggwe ekibuga, osaanuuke olw’entiisa ggwe Bufirisuuti yonna! Kubanga mu bukiikakkono muvaamu omukka, eggye ery’abalwanyi omutali munafu.
32 And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, and the afflicted of his people find refuge in it.
Kale kiki kye banaddamu ababaka b’eggwanga eryo? “Mukama yassaawo Sayuuni, ne mu kyo abantu be ababonyaabonyezebwa mwe balifuna obuddukiro.”
