Isaiah 25
1 Lord, you are my God. I will honor you and praise who you are, because you have done wonderful things that you planned long ago. You are faithful and trustworthy!
Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, gwe Katonda wange; ndikugulumiza ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, kubanga okoze ebintu eby’ettendo, ebintu bye wateekateeka edda, mu bwesigwa bwo.
2 You have turned the city into a pile of rubble; the fortified town is now a ruin; the foreigner palace is gone. It is no longer a city and it will never be rebuilt.
Ekibuga okifudde ntuumu ya bisasiro, ekibuga ekiriko ekigo okifudde matongo, ekibuga omwaddukiranga bannaggwanga tekikyali kibuga, tekirizimbibwa nate.
3 Because of this powerful nations will honor you; cities of brutal nations will be in awe of you.
Abantu ab’amaanyi kyebaliva bakussaamu ekitiibwa n’ebibuga eby’amawanga ag’entiisa birikutya.
4 But you have protected the poor and needy when they were in trouble, you shielded them from storms and shaded them from the heat. For the actions of brutal people are like rain beating against a wall,
Ddala obadde kiddukiro eri abaavu, ekiddukiro eri oyo eyeetaaga, ekiddukiro ng’eriyo embuyaga n’ekisiikirize awali ebbugumu. Omukka gw’ab’entiisa guli ng’embuyaga ekuntira ku kisenge
5 like heat in a desert. You end the noisy uprising of foreigners. In the same way that a cloud's shadow cools down the heat of the day, so the song sung by brutal people is silenced.
era ng’ebbugumu ery’omu ddungu. Osirisa oluyoogaano lw’abannaggwanga, era ng’ekisiikirize eky’ekire bwe kikendeeza ebbugumu, n’oluyimba lw’abakambwe bwe lusirisibwa.
6 On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast for all nations, a lavish feast of aged wines, rich food, and the best meat.
Ku lusozi luno Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye aliteekerateekerako abantu bonna ekijjulo eky’emmere ennungi, n’embaga eya wayini omuka n’ennyama esingayo obulungi, ne wayini asinga obulungi.
7 On this mountain he will destroy the veil that covers all the nations, the sheet that is over everyone.
Ku lusozi luno alizikiriza ekibikka ekyetoolodde abantu bonna, n’eggigi eribikka amawanga gonna,
8 He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away all tears, and everywhere he will take away the humiliation suffered by his people. The Lord has spoken.
era alimalirawo ddala okufa. Mukama Katonda alisangula amaziga mu maaso gonna, era aliggyawo okuswazibwa kw’abantu be mu nsi yonna. Mukama ayogedde.
9 At that time his people will say, “Look! This is our God; we have trusted in him and he has saved us! This is the Lord we have been looking for. Now we can be happy and celebrate the salvation he brings!”
Mu biro ebyo balyogera nti, “Eky’amazima oyo ye Katonda waffe; twamwesiga n’atulokola. Ono ye Mukama Katonda twamwesiga; tusanyukire mu bulokozi bwe, era tumujagulizeemu.”
10 The Lord's hand of protection will be on this mountain. But the Moabites will be trampled underfoot like straw into the water of a manure pit.
Ddala omukono gwa Mukama Katonda guliwummulira ku lusozi luno, naye Mowaabu alirinnyirirwa wansi we, ng’essubi bwe lirinnyirirwa okukolamu ebijimusa.
11 They will reach out their hands to try and save themselves, like swimmers using their hands to swim, but their pride will be humbled however much they thrash about.
Aligolola emikono gye, ng’omuwuzi bw’agolola emikono gye ng’awuga. Katonda alikkakkanya amalala ge newaakubadde ng’emikono gye gikola eby’amagezi.
12 Moab, he will demolish your fortress with the high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
Alimenya bbugwe omuwanvu, n’amusuula, alimusuula ku ttaka, mu nfuufu.
