Isaiah 29
1 Ah altar, altar of the citie that Dauid dwelt in: adde yere vnto yere: let them kill lambs.
Zikusanze ggwe Alyeri, Alyeri ekibuga Dawudi kye yabeeramu, yongera omwaka ku mwaka, n’entuuko zo ez’embaga zigende mu maaso.
2 But I wil bring the altar into distresse, and there shalbe heauines and sorowe, and it shall be vnto me like an altar.
Wabula ndizingiza Alyeri, alikuba ebiwoobe era alikungubaga, era aliba gye ndi ng’ekyoto kya Alyeri.
3 And I wil besiege thee as a circle, and fight against thee on a mount, and will cast vp ramparts against thee.
Ndikuba olusiisira okukwetooloola wonna, era ndikwetoolooza eminaala, ne nkusaako ebifunvu.
4 So shalt thou be humbled, and shalt speake out of the ground, and thy speach shalbe as out of the dust: thy voyce also shall be out of the ground like him that hath a spirite of diuination, and thy talking shall whisper out of the dust.
Olikkakkanyizibwa era olyogera ng’oli mu ttaka, n’ebigambo byo biriwulikika nga biri wansi nnyo ng’oli mu nfuufu. Eddoboozi lyo liriba ng’ery’oyo aliko akazimu nga liva mu ttaka, n’ebigambo byo biriba bya kyama nga biva mu nfuufu.
5 Moreouer, the multitude of thy strangers shalbe like small dust, and the multitude of strong men shalbe as chaffe that passeth away, and it shall be in a moment, euen suddenly.
Naye abalabe bo abangi baliba ng’enfuufu eweweddwa, n’ebibinja by’abakozi b’ebibi abasingayo obubi bibe ng’ebisasiro ebifuumuuka.
6 Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hostes with thunder, and shaking, and a great noyse, a whirlewinde, and a tempest, and a flame of a deuouring fire.
Amangwago mu kaseera katono Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alikukyalira mu kubwatuuka ne mu musisi, ne mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, ne mu kibuyaga ne mu nnimi z’omuliro omukambwe oguzikiriza.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against the altar, shalbe as a dreame or vision by night: euen all they that make the warre against it, and strong holdes against it, and lay siege vnto it.
Awo ebibinja by’amawanga gonna ebirwana ne Alyeri birimulumba, birirumba n’ekigo kye ne bimutaayiza; kiriba ng’ekirooto, ng’okwolesebwa mu kiro
8 And it shalbe like as an hungry man dreameth, and beholde, he eateth: and when he awaketh, his soule is emptie: or like as a thirsty man dreameth, and loe, he is drinking, and when he awaketh, beholde, he is faint, and his soule longeth: so shall the multitude of all nations be that fight against mount Zion.
ng’omuntu alumwa enjala bw’aloota ng’alya naye bw’agolokoka n’asigala ng’akyalumwa enjala; oba ng’omuntu alumwa ennyonta bw’aloota ng’anywa naye n’agolokoka nga munafu ng’akyalumwa ennyonta. Ekyo kye kirituuka ku bibinja by’amawanga gonna agalwana n’Olusozi Sayuuni.
9 Stay your selues, and wonder: they are blinde, and make you blinde: they are drunken but not with wine: they stagger, but not by strong drinke.
Muwuniikirire era mwewuunye Muzibirire era muzibe amaaso; Batamiire, naye si na nvinnyo, batagala, naye si lwa mwenge.
10 For the Lord hath couered you with a spirite of slumber, and hath shut vp your eyes: the Prophets, and your chiefe Seers hath he couered.
Mukama akuwadde otulo tungi, azibye amaaso gammwe bannabbi, era abisse emitwe gyammwe abalabi.
11 And the vision of them all is become vnto you, as the wordes of a booke that is sealed vp, which they deliuer to one that can reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. Then shall he say, I can not: for it is sealed.
Okwolesebwa kuno kwonna tekulina makulu gy’oli okuggyako okuba ebigambo ebissibwako akabonero mu muzingo. Omuzingo bw’oguwa omuntu, asobola okusoma n’omugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde kino kisome,” ajja kukuddamu nti, “Sisobola, kuliko akabonero.”
12 And the booke is giuen vnto him that can not reade, saying, Reade this, I pray thee. And he shall say, I can not reade.
Oba omuzingo bw’oguwa omuntu atasobola kusoma, n’omugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde kino kisome,” ajja kukuddamu nti, “Simanyi kusoma.”
13 Therefore the Lord sayd, Because this people come neere vnto me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but haue remooued their heart farre from me, and their feare toward me was taught by the precept of men,
Mukama agamba nti, “Abantu bano bansemberera n’akamwa kaabwe, ne banzisaamu ekitiibwa n’emimwa gyabwe, naye ng’emitima gyabwe gindi wala. Okunsinza kwe bansinza, biragiro abantu bye baayigiriza.
14 Therefore behold, I wil againe doe a marueilous worke in this people, euen a marueilous worke, and a wonder: for the wisdome of their wise men shall perish, and the vnderstanding of their prudent men shalbe hid.
Noolwekyo, laba ŋŋenda kwewuunyisa abantu bano. Amagezi g’abagezi galizikirira, n’okutegeera kw’abategeevu kuliggwaawo.”
15 Wo vnto them that seeke deepe to hide their counsell from the Lord: for their workes are in darkenes, and they say, Who seeth vs? and who knoweth vs?
Zibasanze abo abakola kyonna kye basobola okukweka Mukama enteekateeka zaabwe, abo abakola emirimu gyabwe mu kizikiza nga bagamba nti, “Ani atulaba? Ani alimanya?”
16 Your turning of deuises shall it not be esteemed as the potters clay? for shall the worke say of him that made it, Hee made me not? or the thing formed, say of him that facioned it, He had none vnderstanding?
Mufuula ebintu ne birabika ng’omubumbi alowoozebwa okwenkanankana n’ebbumba. Ekyakolebwa kiyinza okwogera ku eyakikola nti, “Teyankola”? Ensuwa eyinza okugamba omubumbi nti, “Talina ky’amanyi”?
17 Is it not yet but a litle while, and Lebanon shall be turned into Carmel? and Carmel shall be counted as a forest?
Mu kiseera kitono, Lebanooni tekirifuulibwa nnimiro ngimu, n’ennimiro engimu n’erabika ng’ekibira?
18 And in that day shall the deafe heare the wordes of the booke, and the eyes of the blinde shall see out of obscuritie, and out of darkenesse.
Mu biro ebyo abaggavu b’amatu baliwulira ebigambo by’omuzingo, n’amaaso g’abazibe galizibuka okuva mu kiseera ekizibu ne mu kizikiza.
19 The meeke in the Lord shall receiue ioye againe, and the poore men shall reioyce in the holy one of Israel.
Abawombeefu balisanyukira mu Mukama nate, n’abeetaaga balisanyukira mu Mutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
20 For the cruel man shall cease, and the scornefull shalbe consumed: and all that hasted to iniquitie, shalbe cut off:
Weewaawo asinga obubi aliggwaawo, n’omunyoomi alibula, n’abo bonna abeesunga okukola obutali butuukirivu,
21 Which made a man to sinne in ye worde, and tooke him in a snare: which reproued them in the gate, and made the iust to fall without cause.
abo abakozesa ebigambo okufuula omuntu omusobya, abatega eyeerwanako mu mbuga z’amateeka, abawa obujulizi obw’obulimba, ne baleetera abataliiko musango obutawulirwa mu mbuga z’amateeka, balisalibwako.
22 Therefore thus sayth the Lord vnto the house of Iaakob, euen hee that redeemed Abraham, Iaakob shall not now be confounded, neither now shall his face be pale.
Noolwekyo Mukama eyanunula Ibulayimu bw’ati bw’ayogera eri ennyumba ya Yakobo nti, Yakobo taliddayo kuswazibwa, n’obwenyi bwabwe tebulisiiwuuka.
23 But when he seeth his children, the worke of mine hands, in the mids of him, they shall sanctifie my Name, and sanctifie the holy one of Iaakob, and shall feare the God of Israel.
Bwe baliraba omulimu gw’emikono gyange mu baana baabwe, balikuuma erinnya lyange nga ttukuvu. Balikakasa obutuukirivu bw’Omutukuvu wa Yakobo era baliyimirira ne beewuunya Katonda wa Isirayiri.
24 Then they that erred in spirit, shall haue vnderstanding, and they that murmured, shall learne doctrine.
Abo abaabula mu mwoyo balifuna okutegeera, n’abo abeemulugunya balikkiriza okuyigirizibwa.
