Isaiah 26
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Iudah, We haue a strong citie: saluation shall God set for walles and bulwarkes.
Mu biro ebyo oluyimba luno luliyimbibwa mu nsi ya Yuda. Tulina ekibuga eky’amaanyi; Katonda assaawo obulokozi okuba bbugwe waakyo n’ekigo kyakyo.
2 Open ye the gates that the righteous nation, which keepeth the trueth, may enter in.
Ggulawo wankaaki, eggwanga ettukuvu liyingire, eggwanga erikuuma okukkiriza.
3 By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted in thee.
Mukama alikuuma mirembe oyo amaliridde okumwesiga mu mutima gwe.
4 Trust in the Lord for euer: for in the Lord God is strength for euermore.
Weesigenga Mukama ennaku zonna, kubanga emirembe giri waggulu mu Mukama, Mukama Katonda oyo atoowaza.
5 For hee will bring downe them that dwell on hie: the hie citie he will abase: euen vnto the ground wil he cast it downe, and bring it vnto dust.
Mukama lwe lwazi olutaggwaawo, akkakkanya ekibuga eky’amalala, akissa wansi ku ttaka, n’akisuula mu nfuufu.
6 The foote shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the poore, and the steppes of the needie.
Kirinnyirirwa ebigere by’abanyigirizibwa, n’ebisinde by’abaavu.
7 The way of the iust is righteousnesse: thou wilt make equall the righteous path of the iust.
Ekkubo ly’abatuukirivu ttereevu; Ggwe atuukiridde, olongoosa olugendo lw’omutuukirivu.
8 Also we, O Lord, haue waited for thee in the way of thy iudgemets: the desire of our soule is to thy Name, and to the remembrance of thee.
Weewaawo Mukama Katonda tukulindirira nga tutambulira mu mateeka go, era erinnya lyo n’okumanyibwa kwo kwe kwegomba kw’emitima gyaffe.
9 With my soule haue I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within mee will I seeke thee in the morning: for seeing thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learne righteousnesse.
Omwoyo gwange gukuyaayaanira mu kiro, omwoyo gwange gukunoonyeza ddala. Bw’osalira ensi omusango, abantu b’ensi bayiga obutuukirivu.
10 Let mercie bee shewed to the wicked, yet hee will not learne righteousnesse: in the land of vprightnesse will he do wickedly, and will not beholde the maiestie of the Lord.
Omukozi w’ebibi ne bw’akolerwa ebyekisa, tayiga butuukirivu. Ne bw’abeera mu nsi ey’abatuukiridde, yeeyongera kukola bibi, era talaba kitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda.
11 O Lord, they will not beholde thine hie hande: but they shall see it, and bee confounded with the zeale of the people, and the fire of thine enemies shall deuoure them.
Mukama Katonda omukono gwo guyimusibbwa waggulu, naye tebagulaba. Ka balabe obunyiikivu bwo eri abantu bo baswazibwe, omuliro ogwaterekerwa abalabe bo ka gubamalewo.
12 Lord, vnto vs thou wilt ordeine peace: for thou also hast wrought all our workes for vs.
Mukama Katonda, otuteekerateekera emirembe, n’ebyo byonna bye tukoze, ggw’obitukoledde.
13 O Lord our God, other lords beside thee, haue ruled vs, but we will remember thee onely, and thy Name.
Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, abafuzi abalala batufuze nga wooli naye erinnya lyo lyokka lye tussaamu ekitiibwa.
14 The dead shall not liue, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memorie.
Baafa, tebakyali balamu; egyo emyoyo egyagenda tegikyagolokoka. Wababonereza n’obazikiriza, wabasaanyizaawo ddala bonna, ne watabaawo akyabajjukira.
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious: thou hast enlarged all the coastes of the earth.
Ogaziyizza eggwanga, Ayi Mukama Katonda ogaziyizza eggwanga. Weefunidde ekitiibwa, era ogaziyizza ensalo zonna ez’ensi.
16 Lord, in trouble haue they visited thee: they powred out a prayer when thy chastening was vpon them.
Mukama Katonda, bajja gy’oli mu nnaku yaabwe, bwe wabakangavvula, tebaasobola na kukusaba mu kaama.
17 Like as a woman with childe, that draweth neere to the trauaile, is in sorow, and cryeth in her paines, so haue we bene in thy sight, O Lord.
Ng’omukyala ow’olubuto anaatera okuzaala, bw’alumwa n’akaaba mu bulumi, bwe tutyo bwe twali mu maaso go, Ayi Mukama Katonda.
18 We haue coceiued, we haue borne in paine, as though we should haue brought forth winde: there was no helpe in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of the world fall.
Twali lubuto, twalumwa, naye twazaala mpewo Tetwaleeta bulokozi ku nsi, tetwazaala bantu ba nsi.
19 Thy dead men shall liue: euen with my body shall they rise. Awake, and sing, ye that dwel in dust: for thy dewe is as the dew of herbes, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Naye abafiira mu ggwe balirama, emibiri gyabwe girizuukira. Mugolokoke, muleekaane olw’essanyu. Ssuulwe wo ali ng’omusulo ogw’oku makya, ensi erizaala abafudde.
20 Come, my people: enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doores after thee: hide thy selfe for a very litle while, vntill the indignation passe ouer.
Mugende abantu bange muyingire mu bisenge byammwe muggalewo enzigi zammwe. Mwekweke okumala akabanga katono, okutuusa ekiruyi kye lwe kirimuggwaako.
21 For lo, the Lord commeth out of his place, to visite the iniquitie of the inhabitants of the earth vpon them: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more hide her slaine.
Weewaawo laba Mukama Katonda ava mu kifo kye gy’abeera okubonereza abantu b’ensi olw’ebibi byabwe. Ensi erikwekula omusaayi ogwagiyiikako, era teriddayo nate kukweka abattibwa.
