< Isaiah 2 >

1 The worde that Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sawe vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
Kuno kwe kwolesebwa Isaaya omwana wa Amozi kwe yalaba ku Yuda ne Yerusaalemi.
2 It shall be in the last dayes, that the mountaine of the house of the Lord shalbe prepared in the top of the mountaines, and shall be exalted aboue the hilles, and all nations shall flowe vnto it.
Olulituuka mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma olusozi okuli ennyumba ya Mukama Katonda lulinywezebwa lusinge ensozi zonna okugulumira, luliyimusibwa lusukke ku ndala zonna, era amawanga gonna galilwolekera.
3 And many people shall go, and say, Come, and let vs go vp to the mountaine of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iaakob, and hee will teach vs his wayes, and we will walke in his paths: for the Lawe shall go foorth of Zion, and the worde of the Lord from Ierusalem,
Abantu bangi balijja bagambe nti, Mujje twambuke tulinnye ku lusozi lwa Mukama, mu nnyumba ya Katonda wa Yakobo, alyoke atuyigirize amakubo ge, tulyoke tutambulire mu mateeka ge. Kubanga Mukama aliteeka amateeka ng’asinziira mu Sayuuni, era mu Yerusaalemi abayigirize ekigambo kye.
4 And he shall iudge among the nations, and rebuke many people: they shall breake their swords also into mattocks, and their speares into siethes: nation shall not lift vp a sworde against nation, neither shall they learne to fight any more.
Alisala enkaayana z’amawanga, aliramula emisango gy’abantu bangi, era ebitala byabwe balibiwesaamu enkumbi, n’amafumu gaabwe bagaweeseemu ebiwabyo. Eggwanga teririyimusa kitala ku ggwanga linnaalyo, so tebalyetegeka kulwana ntalo nate.
5 O house of Iaakob, come ye, and let vs walke in the Lawe of the Lord.
Ggwe ennyumba ya Yakobo, mujje tutambulire mu kitangaala kya Mukama Katonda.
6 Surely thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Iaakob, because they are full of the East maners, and are sorcerers as the Philistims, and abound with strange children.
Wayabulira abantu bo ab’ennyumba ya Yakobo, kubanga eggwanga lijjudde obusamize obuva mu buvanjuba, n’obulaguzi obuli nga obw’omu Bafirisuuti, era basizza kimu ne bannamawanga.
7 Their land also was full of siluer and golde, and there was none ende of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their charets were infinite.
Ensi yaabwe ejjudde effeeza ne zaabu, n’obugagga bwabwe tebuliiko kkomo: ensi yaabwe ejjudde embalaasi, era erimu n’amagaali g’embalaasi mangi nnyo.
8 Their land also was full of idols: they worshipped the worke of their owne hands, which their owne fingers haue made.
Ensi yaabwe ejjudde bakatonda ababumbe, basinza omulimu gw’emikono gyabwe bo, engalo zaabwe gwe zeekolera.
9 And a man bowed himselfe, and a man humbled himselfe: therefore spare them not.
Kale omuntu wa kukkakkanyizibwa, omuntu wa kussibwa wansi. Mukama, tobasonyiwa!
10 Enter into the rocke, and hide thee in the dust from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie.
Mugende mwekweke mu njazi, mwekweke mu binnya wansi mu ttaka, nga mudduka entiisa ya Mukama Katonda, nga mudduka entiisa y’ekitiibwa ky’obukulu bwe.
11 The hie looke of man shall be humbled, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord onely shall be exalted in that day.
Olunaku lujja okweyisa kw’omuntu n’amalala ge lwe birizikirizibwa, era Mukama Katonda yekka yaligulumizibwa ku olwo.
12 For the day of the Lord of hostes is vpon all the proude and hautie, and vpon all that is exalted: and it shalbe made lowe.
Kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alina olunaku lw’ategese eri abo bonna ab’amalala era abeewanise, eri ebyo byonna eby’egulumiza ebijjudde okwemanya n’okwewulira.
13 Euen vpon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are hie and exalted, and vpon all the okes of Bashan,
Alizikiriza emiti gy’omu Lebanooni, emiwanvu emigulumivu, n’emivule gyonna egya Basani.
14 And vpon all the hie mountaines, and vpon all the hilles that are lifted vp,
Era n’ensozi zonna empanvu, n’obusozi bwonna obugulumivu.
15 And vpon euery hie tower, and vpon euery strong wall,
Na buli mulongooti gwonna omuwanvu, na buli bbugwe gwe bakomese.
16 And vpon all the shippes of Tarshish, and vpon all pleasant pictures.
Alizikiriza emmeeri zonna ez’e Talusiisi, n’ebifaananyi byonna ebisiige eby’omuwendo omungi.
17 And the hautinesse of men shalbe brought low, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord shall onely be exalted in that day.
Era okwegulumiza kw’abantu kulijemulukuka, n’amalala g’abantu galissibwa; era Mukama Katonda yekka yaligulumizibwa ku lunaku olwo.
18 And the idoles will he vtterly destroy.
N’ebifaananyi bye basinza birizikiririzibwa ddala ku olwo.
19 Then they shall goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the caues of the earth, from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall arise to destroy the earth.
Abantu balidduka ne beekweka mu mpuku mu mayinja, ne mu binnya mu ttaka, nga badduka entiisa n’ekitiibwa ky’obukulu bwa Mukama Katonda, bwaliyimuka okukankanya ensi n’amaanyi.
20 At that day shall man cast away his siluer idoles, and his golden idoles (which they had made themselues to worship them) to the mowles and to the backes,
Ku lunaku olwo abantu balisuulira ddala bakatonda baabwe abakole mu ffeeza, n’abakole mu zaabu, be beekolera nga ba kusinzanga, ne babakanyuga eri emmese n’eri ebinyira.
21 To goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the toppes of the ragged rockes from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall rise to destroy the earth.
Balidduka ne beekukuma mu mpuku ez’amayinja amaatifu nga badduka entiisa n’ekitiibwa ky’obukulu bwa Mukama Katonda, bwaliyimuka okukankanya ensi.
22 Cease you from the man whose breath is in his nostrels: for wherein is he to be esteemed?
Mulekeraawo okwesiga omuntu alina omukka obukka mu nnyindo ze. Kiki ennyo kyali?
