Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city which David took: year is added to year: the solemnities are at an end.
Zikusanze ggwe Alyeri, Alyeri ekibuga Dawudi kye yabeeramu, yongera omwaka ku mwaka, n’entuuko zo ez’embaga zigende mu maaso.
2 And I will make a trench about Ariel, and it shall be in sorrow and mourning, and it shall be to me as Ariel.
Wabula ndizingiza Alyeri, alikuba ebiwoobe era alikungubaga, era aliba gye ndi ng’ekyoto kya Alyeri.
3 And I will make a circle round about thee, and will cast up a rampart against thee, and raise up bulwarks to besiege thee.
Ndikuba olusiisira okukwetooloola wonna, era ndikwetoolooza eminaala, ne nkusaako ebifunvu.
4 Thou shalt be brought down, thou shalt speak out of the earth, and thy speech shall be heard out of the ground: and thy voice shall be from the earth like that of the python, and out of the ground thy speech shall mutter.
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 And the multitude of them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee.
Naye abalabe bo abangi baliba ng’enfuufu eweweddwa, n’ebibinja by’abakozi b’ebibi abasingayo obubi bibe ng’ebisasiro ebifuumuuka.
6 And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with the flame of devouring 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 multitude of all nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, and besieged and prevailed against it.
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 he that is hungry dreameth, and eateth, but when he is awake, his soul is empty: and as he that is thirsty dreameth, and drinketh, and after he is awake, is yet faint with thirst, and his soul is empty: so shall be the multitude of all the Gentiles, that have fought against 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 Be astonished, and wander, waver, and stagger: be drunk, and not with wine: stagger, and not with drunkenness.
Muwuniikirire era mwewuunye Muzibirire era muzibe amaaso; Batamiire, naye si na nvinnyo, batagala, naye si lwa mwenge.
10 For the Lord hath mingled for you the spirit of a deep sleep, he will shut up your eyes, he will cover your prophets and princes, that see visions.
Mukama akuwadde otulo tungi, azibye amaaso gammwe bannabbi, era abisse emitwe gyammwe abalabi.
11 And the vision of all shall be unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which when they shall deliver to one that is learned, they shall say: Read this: and he shall answer: I cannot, 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 the book shall be given to one that knoweth no letters, and it shall be said to him: Read: and he shall answer: I know no letters.
Oba omuzingo bw’oguwa omuntu atasobola kusoma, n’omugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde kino kisome,” ajja kukuddamu nti, “Simanyi kusoma.”
13 And the Lord said: Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, but their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandment 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 cause an admiration in this people, by a great and wonderful miracle: for wisdom shall perish from their wise men, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Noolwekyo, laba ŋŋenda kwewuunyisa abantu bano. Amagezi g’abagezi galizikirira, n’okutegeera kw’abategeevu kuliggwaawo.”
15 Woe to you that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: and their works are in the dark, and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?
Zibasanze abo abakola kyonna kye basobola okukweka Mukama enteekateeka zaabwe, abo abakola emirimu gyabwe mu kizikiza nga bagamba nti, “Ani atulaba? Ani alimanya?”
16 This thought of yours is perverse: as if the clay should think against the potter, and the work should say to the maker thereof: Thou madest me not: or the thing framed should say to him that fashioned it: Thou understandest not.
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 very little while, and Libanus shall be turned into charmel, and charmel shall be esteemed 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 out of darkness and obscurity 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 meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Abawombeefu balisanyukira mu Mukama nate, n’abeetaaga balisanyukira mu Mutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
20 For he that did prevail hath failed, the scorner is consumed, and they are all cut off that watched for iniquity:
Weewaawo asinga obubi aliggwaawo, n’omunyoomi alibula, n’abo bonna abeesunga okukola obutali butuukirivu,
21 That made men sin by word, and supplanted him that reproved them in the gate, and declined in vain from the just.
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 saith the Lord to the house of Jacob, he that redeemed Abraham: Jacob shall not now be confounded, neither shall his countenance now be ashamed:
Noolwekyo Mukama eyanunula Ibulayimu bw’ati bw’ayogera eri ennyumba ya Yakobo nti, Yakobo taliddayo kuswazibwa, n’obwenyi bwabwe tebulisiiwuuka.
23 But when he shall see his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him sanctifying my name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall glorify 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 they that murmured, shall learn the law.
Abo abaabula mu mwoyo balifuna okutegeera, n’abo abeemulugunya balikkiriza okuyigirizibwa.
