Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
Obunnabbi obukwata ku Kiwonvu ky’Okwolesebwa: Kiki ekikutawanya kaakano, n’okulinnya n’olinnya waggulu ku busolya,
2 Thou that wast full of stir, a town of tumult, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
ggwe ekibuga ekijjudde oluyoogaano, ggwe ekibuga eky’amasanyu era eky’ebinyumu? Abantu bo abattibwa, tebaafa kitala newaakubadde okufiira mu lutalo.
3 All thy rulers have fled together, they are taken prisoners without the bow: all that are found of thee are made prisoners together; they were fleeing far off.
Abakulembeze bo bonna baddukidde wamu; bawambiddwa awatali kulwana. Bonna baakwatibwa ne batwalibwa wamu nga basibe, kubanga badduka.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; let me weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
Kyenava njogera nti, “Munveeko, mundeke nkaabire ddala nnyo. Temugezaako kunsaasira olw’okuzikirizibwa kw’omuwala w’abantu bange.”
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; [a day of] breaking down the wall, and of crying to the mountain:
Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alina olunaku olw’akatabanguko, olw’okulinyirirwa n’entiisa mu Kiwonvu ky’Okwolesebwa; olunaku olw’okumenya bbugwe, n’okukaabirira ensozi.
6 — Elam beareth the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovereth the shield.
Eramu ayambalidde omufuko gw’obusaale, n’atwala n’abavuzi b’amagaali ge n’embalaasi, Kiri asabuukulula engabo.
7 And it shall come to pass [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
Ebiwonvu byo ebisinga obulungi bijjudde amagaali, n’abeebagala embalaasi bassibbwa ku wankaaki.
8 And he uncovereth the covering of Judah: and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest;
Okwerinda kwa Yuda kuggyiddwawo. Ku lunaku olwo watunuulira ebyokulwanyisa eby’omu Lubiri olw’Ekibira.
9 and ye have seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and ye have gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
Walaba amabanga agaali mu kwerinda kw’Ekibuga kya Dawudi, wakuŋŋaanya amazzi mu Kidiba eky’Emmanga.
10 and ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and have broken down the houses to fortify the wall;
Wabala ebizimbe mu Yerusaalemi n’omenya amayumba okusobola okunyweza bbugwe.
11 and ye have made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not had regard unto the maker thereof, neither have ye looked unto him that fashioned it long ago.
Wasima ekidiba omuterekebwa amazzi wakati w’ebisenge ebibiri, n’okuŋŋaanya ag’ekidiba ekikadde, naye tewatunuulira Oyo eyakisima, wadde okussaamu ekitiibwa Oyo eyakiteekateeka mu biro eby’edda.
12 And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
Ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye yalangirira okukaaba n’okukuba ebiwoobe, n’okwemwako enviiri n’okwambala ebibukutu.
13 and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: — Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
Naye laba, ssanyu na kujaguza, okubaaga ente n’okutta endiga, okulya ennyama n’okunywa envinnyo. Mwogere nti, “Leka tulye, era tunywe kubanga enkya tunaafa.”
14 And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Mukama ow’Eggye akimbikulidde n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ekibi kino tekirisonyiyibwa wadde okuggyibwawo okutuusa lw’olifa,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts: Go, get thee in unto this steward, unto Shebna, who is over the house, [and say, ]
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Genda eri omuwanika oyo, eri Sabuna avunaanyizibwa olubiri omugambe nti,
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth out his sepulchre on high, cutting out in the rock a habitation for himself?
Okola ki wano era ani yakuwadde olukusa okwetemera entaana wano, n’otema n’amaanyi entaana yo waggulu mu lwazi, ne weerongoosereza eyo ekifo eky’okuwummuliramu?
17 Behold, Jehovah will hurl thee with the force of a mighty man, and will cover thee entirely.
“Weegendereze Mukama Katonda anaatera okukuvumbagira, akuggyewo ggwe omusajja ow’amaanyi.
18 Rolling thee up completely, he will roll thee as a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, O shame of thy lord's house!
Alikuzingazingako, n’akukanyuga mu nsi engazi, nga bwe yandikanyuze omupiira ogusambwa. Eyo gy’olifiira, era eyo amagaali go ag’ekitiibwa gye galisigala, ggwe ensonyi ez’ennyumba ya Mukama wo.
19 And I will drive thee from thine office, and from thy station will I pull thee down.
Ndikuggya ku ntebe yo, era oliggyibwa mu kifo kyo.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkijah;
“Mu biro ebyo nditumya omuweereza wange Eriyakimu mutabani wa Kirukiya.
21 and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Ndimwambaza ekyambalo kyo, ne munyweza n’olukoba lwo, ne mukwasa obuyinza bwo. Aliba kitaawe w’abo ababeera mu Yerusaalemi, n’eri ennyumba ya Yuda.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Ndimukwasa ekisumuluzo ky’ennyumba ya Dawudi; bw’aliggulawo tewaliba aggalawo, bw’aliggalawo tewaliba aggulawo.
23 And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house:
Ndimunyweza mu kifo ng’enkondo ennene, era aliba ntebe ya kitiibwa eri ennyumba ya kitaawe.
24 and they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all the small vessels, as well the vessels of cups as all the vessels of flagons.
Ekitiibwa ky’ennyumba ye kiribeera ku nnyumba ye, ne ku zadde lye ne ku nda ye yonna, ne ku bintu bye ebinywerwamu, okuva ku bibya okutuuka ku nsumbi.”
25 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for Jehovah hath spoken.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Ku lunaku olwo, enkondo ennene eyakomererwa mu kifo n’enywera erisalibwa, n’eneguka, n’egwa, n’omugugu gw’ekutte gulisarwako.” Mukama ayogedde.
