< Isaiah 5 >

1 Now will I sing to my beloued a song of my beloued to his vineyarde, My beloued had a vineyarde in a very fruitefull hill,
Ka nnyimbire omwagalwa wange oluyimba olukwata ku nnimiro ye ey’emizabbibu. Omwagalwa wange yalina nnimiro ey’emizabbibu ku lusozi olugimu.
2 And hee hedged it, and gathered out the stones of it, and he planted it with the best plants, and hee builte a towre in the middes thereof, and made a wine presse therein: then hee looked that it should bring foorth grapes: but it brought foorth wilde grapes.
Era n’agirima n’agiggyamu amayinja gonna, n’agisimbamu emizabbibu egisinga obulungi. Era wakati mu yo n’azimbamu ebigulumu okulengererwa. N’agisimamu n’essogolero n’agisuubira okubala emizabbibu emirungi naye n’ebala emizabbibu nga si mirungi n’akatono.
3 Now therefore, O inhabitants of Ierusalem and men of Iudah, iudge, I pray you, betweene me, and my vineyarde.
“Era kaakano abatuuze b’omu Yerusaalemi n’abasajja b’omu Yuda, munsalirewo nze n’ennimiro yange ey’emizabbibu.”
4 What coulde I haue done any more to my vineyard that I haue not done vnto it? why haue I looked that it should bring foorth grapes, and it bringeth foorth wilde grapes?
Ate kiki kye nandikoledde ennimiro yange eno, kye ssaagikolera? Bwe naginoonyamu emizabbibu emirungi, lwaki saalabamu mirungi?
5 And nowe I will tell you what I will do to my vineyarde: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten vp: I will breake the wall thereof, and it shall be troden downe:
Kaakano muleke mbabuulire kye nnaakola ennimiro yange ey’emizabbibu. Nzija kugiggyako olukomera eyonooneke. Ndimenya ekisenge kyayo yonna erinnyirirwe.
6 And I will laye it waste: it shall not be cut, nor digged, but briers, and thornes shall growe vp: I will also commande the cloudes that they raine no raine vpon it.
Era ndigireka n’ezika, sirigirima wadde okugisalira. Naye ndigireka n’emeramu emyeeramannyo n’amaggwa. Ndiragira n’ebire obutatonnyesaamu nkuba.
7 Surely the vineyard of the Lord of hostes is the house of Israel, and the men of Iudah are his pleasant plant, and hee looked for iudgement, but beholde oppression: for righteousnesse, but beholde a crying.
Ennyumba ya Isirayiri y’ennimiro ya Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna ey’emizabbibu. Abantu ba Yuda y’ennimiro gye yasiima. Yali abasuubiramu bwenkanya naye yabalabamu kuyiwa musaayi. Yabasuubiramu butuukirivu naye nawulira kukaaba na kulaajana.
8 Woe vnto them that ioyne house to house, and laye fielde to fielde, till there bee no place, that ye may be placed by your selues in the mids of the earth.
Zibasanze mmwe aboongera amayumba ku ge mulina, n’ennimiro ne muzongerako endala ne wataba kafo konna kasigadde, ne mubeera mwekka wakati mu nsi!
9 This is in mine cares, saith the Lord of hostes. Surely many houses shall be desolate, euen great, and faire without inhabitant.
Mukama Katonda alayidde nga mpulira nti, “Mu mazima ennyumba nnyingi zirifuuka bifulukkwa, n’ezo ennene ez’ebbeeyi zibulemu abantu.
10 For ten acres of vines shall yelde one bath, and the seede of an homer shall yelde an ephah.
Kubanga yika kkumi ez’ennimiro y’emizabbibu zinaavangamu ekibbo kimu, n’ogusero ogw’ensigo, kabbo bubbo ak’amakungula.”
11 Wo vnto them, that rise vp early to follow drunkennes, and to them that continue vntill night, till the wine doe inflame them.
Zibasanze abo abakeera enkya ku makya banoonye ekitamiiza, abalwawo nga banywa omwenge ettumbi ly’obudde, okutuusa omwenge lwe gubalalusa!
12 And the harpe and viole, timbrel, and pipe, and wine are in their feastes: but they regard not the worke of the Lord, neither consider the worke of his handes.
Ababeera n’ennanga n’entongooli, ebitaasa n’endere, n’omwenge ku mbaga zaabwe; naye ne batalowooza ku mulimu gwa Mukama Katonda, wadde okussa ekitiibwa mu ebyo bye yatonda.
13 Therefore my people is gone into captiuitie, because they had no knowledge, and the glorie thereof are men famished, and the multitude thereof is dried vp with thirst.
Abantu bange kyebavudde bagenda mu buwaŋŋanguse kubanga tebalina kutegeera. Abantu baabwe ab’ekitiibwa bafe enjala, n’abantu aba bulijjo bafe ennyonta.
14 Therefore hell hath inlarged it selfe, and hath opened his mouth, without measure, and their glorie, and their multitude, and their pompe, and hee that reioyceth among them, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
Amagombe kyegavudde gagaziya omumiro gwago, era ne gaasamya akamwa kaago awatali kkomo. Mu ko mwe munaagenda abakungu baabwe n’abantu baabwe abaabulijjo, n’ab’effujjo n’abatamiivu. (Sheol h7585)
15 And man shalbe brought downe, and man shalbe humbled, euen the eyes of the proude shalbe humbled.
Buli muntu alitoowazibwa, abantu bonna balikkakkanyizibwa era amaaso g’abo abeemanyi nago gakkakkanyizibwe.
16 And the Lord of hostes shalbe exalted in iudgement, and the holy God shalbe sanctified in iustice.
Naye Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye aligulumizibwa olw’obwenkanya, era Katonda Omutukuvu yeerage nga bw’ali omutukuvu mu butuukirivu bwe.
17 Then shall the lambes feede after their maner, and the strangers shall eate the desolate places of the fat.
Endiga ento ziryoke zirye ng’eziri mu malundiro gaazo, n’ensolo engenyi ziriire mu bifo ebyalekebwa awo, ebyalundirwangamu eza ssava.
18 Woe vnto them, that draw iniquitie with cordes of vanitie, and sinne, as with cart ropes:
Zibasanze abo abasikaasikanya ebibi byabwe ng’embalaasi bw’esika ekigaali.
19 Which say, Let him make speede: let him hasten his worke, that wee may see it: and let the counsell of the holy one of Israel draw neere and come, that we may knowe it.
Aboogera nti, “Ayanguyeeko, ayite mu bwangu tulabe ky’anaakola. Entegeka z’omutukuvu wa Isirayiri nazo zijje, zituuke nazo tuzimanye.”
20 Woe vnto them that speake good of euill, and euill of good, which put darkenes for light, and light for darkenes, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for sowre.
Zibasanze abo abayita ekibi ekirungi n’ekirungi ekibi, abafuula ekizikiza okuba ekitangaala, n’ekitangaala okuba ekizikiza, abafuula ekikaawa okuba ekiwoomerera n’ekiwoomerera okuba ekikaawa.
21 Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.
Zibasanze abo abeeraba ng’abalina amagezi, era abagezigezi bo nga bwe balaba.
22 Wo vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and to them that are strong to powre in strong drinke:
Zibasanze abo abazira mu kunywa omwenge era mu kutabula ekitamiiza,
23 Which iustifie the wicked for a rewarde, and take away the righteousnesse of the righteous from him.
abejjeereza abatemu olw’enguzi era abamma abatuukirivu obwenkanya obubagwanidde.
24 Therefore as the flame of fire deuoureth the stubble, and as the chaffe is cosumed of the flame: so their roote shalbe as rottennesse, and their bud shall rise vp like dust, because they haue cast off the Lawe of the Lord of hostes, and contemned the word of the holy one of Israel.
Kale ng’olulimi lw’omuliro bwe lwokya ekisagazi ekikalu, era ng’omuddo omukalu bwe guggweerera mu muliro, bwe gityo n’emirandira gyabwe bwe girivunda, era n’ebimuli byabwe bifuumuuke ng’enfuufu; kubanga baajeemera etteeka lya Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, era ne banyooma ekigambo ky’Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
25 Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and hee hath stretched out his hand vpon them, and hath smitten them that the mountaines did tremble: and their carkases were torne in the middes of the streetes, and for all this his wrath was not turned away, but his hande was stretched out still.
Noolwekyo obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda bubuubuukira ku bantu be, n’agolola omukono gwe n’abasanjaga, ensozi ne zikankana era n’emirambo gyabwe ne gibeera ng’ebisasiro wakati mu nguudo. Naye wadde nga biri bwe bityo, obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda tebunnakakkana era omukono gwe gukyagoloddwa.
26 And he will lift vp a signe vnto the nations a farre, and wil hisse vnto them from the ende of the earth: and beholde, they shall come hastily with speede.
Era aliyimusiza eggwanga eriri ewala bbendera, alibakoowoola ng’asinziira ku nkomerero y’ensi, era laba, balyanguwako okujja.
27 None shall faint nor fall among them: none shall slumber nor sleepe, neither shall the girdle of his loynes be loosed, nor the latchet of his shooes be broken:
Tewali n’omu akooye, tewali n’omu yeesittala. Tewali n’omu asumagira wadde okwebaka. Tewali aliba yeesibye lukoba olutanywedde mu kiwato kye, wadde aliba n’olukoba lw’engatto olulikutuka.
28 Whose arrowes shall be sharpe, and all his bowes bent: his horse hoofes shall be thought like flint, and his wheeles like a whirlewinde.
Obusaale bwabwe bwogi, n’emitego gyabwe gyonna mireege. Ebinuulo by’embalaasi zaabwe biriba ng’amayinja ag’embaalebaale, Ne nnamuziga w’amagaali gaabwe ng’adduka ng’embuyaga y’akazimu.
29 His roaring shalbe like a lyon, and he shall roare like lyons whelpes: they shall roare, and lay holde of the praye: they shall take it away, and none shall deliuer it.
Okuwuluguma kwabwe kuliba nga okw’empologoma, balikaaba ng’empologoma ento: weewaawo baliwuluguma bakwate omuyiggo gwabwe bagutwalire ddala awatali adduukirira.
30 And in that day they shall roare vpon them, as the roaring of the sea: and if they looke vnto the earth, beholde darkenesse, and sorowe, and the light shalbe darkened in their skie.
Era ku lunaku olwo baliwuumira ku munyago gwabwe ng’ennyanja eyira. Omuntu yenna bw’alitunuulira ensi, aliraba ekizikiza n’ennaku; n’ekitangaala kiribuutikirwa ebire ebikutte.
