< Isaiah 25 >
1 O Lord, thou art my God: I will exalt thee, I will prayse thy Name: for thou hast done wonderfull things, according to the counsels of old, with a stable trueth.
Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, gwe Katonda wange; ndikugulumiza ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, kubanga okoze ebintu eby’ettendo, ebintu bye wateekateeka edda, mu bwesigwa bwo.
2 For thou hast made of a citie an heape, of a strong citie, a ruine: euen the palace of strangers of a citie, it shall neuer be built.
Ekibuga okifudde ntuumu ya bisasiro, ekibuga ekiriko ekigo okifudde matongo, ekibuga omwaddukiranga bannaggwanga tekikyali kibuga, tekirizimbibwa nate.
3 Therefore shall the mightie people giue glory vnto thee: the citie of the strong nations shall feare thee.
Abantu ab’amaanyi kyebaliva bakussaamu ekitiibwa n’ebibuga eby’amawanga ag’entiisa birikutya.
4 For thou hast bene a strength vnto the poore, euen a strength to the needie in his trouble, a refuge against the tempest, a shadow against the heate: for the blaste of the mightie is like a storme against the 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 Thou shalt bring downe the noyse of the strangers, as the heate in a drie place: he wil bring downe the song of the mightie, as the heate in the shadowe of a cloude.
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 And in this mountaine shall the Lord of hostes make vnto all people a feast of fat thinges, euen a feast of fined wines, and of fat thinges full of marow, of wines fined and purified.
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 And he will destroy in this mountaine the couering that couereth all people, and the vaile that is spread vpon all nations.
Ku lusozi luno alizikiriza ekibikka ekyetoolodde abantu bonna, n’eggigi eribikka amawanga gonna,
8 He wil destroy death for euer: and the Lord God wil wipe away the teares from all faces, and the rebuke of his people will he take away out of all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
era alimalirawo ddala okufa. Mukama Katonda alisangula amaziga mu maaso gonna, era aliggyawo okuswazibwa kw’abantu be mu nsi yonna. Mukama ayogedde.
9 And in that day shall men say, Loe, this is our God: we haue waited for him, and he wil saue vs. This is the Lord, we haue waited for him: we will reioyce and be ioyfull in his saluation.
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 For in this mountaine shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shalbe threshed vnder him, euen as strawe is thresshed in Madmenah.
Ddala omukono gwa Mukama Katonda guliwummulira ku lusozi luno, naye Mowaabu alirinnyirirwa wansi we, ng’essubi bwe lirinnyirirwa okukolamu ebijimusa.
11 And he shall stretche out his hande in the middes of them (as he that swimmeth, stretcheth them out to swimme) and with the strength of his handes shall he bring downe their pride.
Aligolola emikono gye, ng’omuwuzi bw’agolola emikono gye ng’awuga. Katonda alikkakkanya amalala ge newaakubadde ng’emikono gye gikola eby’amagezi.
12 The defence also of the height of thy walles shall he bring downe and lay lowe, and cast them to the ground, euen vnto the dust.
Alimenya bbugwe omuwanvu, n’amusuula, alimusuula ku ttaka, mu nfuufu.
