Isaiah 31
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they me many: and in horsemen, because they me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord.
Zibasanze abo abaserengeta e Misiri okuyambibwa, abeesiga embalaasi, abeesiga amagaali gaabwe amangi, abeesiga amaanyi amangi ag’abeebagala embalaasi ne batatunuulira Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri wadde okunoonya obuyambi bwa Mukama.
2 But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work iniquity.
Kyokka Mukama mugezi era asobola okuleeta akabi; tajjulula bigambo bye. Aligolokokera ku nnyumba y’abatali batuukirivu, ne ku abo abayamba abakozi b’ebibi.
3 Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded together.
Naye Abamisiri bantu buntu si Katonda n’embalaasi zaabwe mibiri bubiri. Katonda bw’agolola omukono gwe oyo ayamba, alyesittala, n’oyo ayambibwa aligwa era bombi balizikiririra wamu.
4 For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.
Ddala ddala bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama gye ndi nti, “Ng’empologoma bwe wuluguma, empologoma ey’amaanyi bwe wulugumira ku muyiggo gwayo era newaakubadde ng’ekibinja ky’abasumba kiyitibwa awamu okugirumba, tetiisibwatiisibwa kuwowogana kwabwe, newaakubadde oluyoogaano lwabwe. Bw’atyo ne Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’aliserengeta, okulwanira ku lusozi Sayuuni ne ku busozi bwa lwo.
5 As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
Ng’ebinyonyi bwe bibuukira waggulu, bw’atyo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’alisaanikira Yerusaalemi; alikikuuma, n’akiwonya, alikiyitamu n’akirokola.”
6 Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
Mudde eri oyo gwe mwajeemera ennyo, mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri.
7 For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin.
Mu biro ebyo buli omu ku mmwe alisuulira ddala wala ebitali Katonda ebya ffeeza ne zaabu, emikono gyo egitali mituukirivu gye byakola.
8 And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
“Bwasuli kirigwa n’ekitala ekitali kya muntu; ekitala ekitali ky’abo abafa kirimusaanyaawo. Alidduka ekitala, n’abavubuka be balikozesebwa emirimu egy’amaanyi n’obuwaze.
9 And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Ekigo kyabwe kirigwa olw’okutya, n’abaduumizi baabwe balitekemuka omutima olw’okulaba ebbendera ey’olutalo,” bw’ayogera Mukama nannyini muliro oguli mu Sayuuni, era nannyini kikoomi ekiri mu Yerusaalemi.
