< Isaiah 7 >
1 And in the dayes of Ahaz, the sonne of Iotham, the sonne of Vzziah king of Iudah, Rezin the King of Aram came vp, and Pekah the sonne of Remaliah King of Israel, to Ierusalem to fight against it, but he could not ouercome it.
Awo olwatuuka mu mirembe gya Akazi omwana wa Yosamu, omwana wa Uzziya, kabaka wa Yuda, Lezini kabaka w’e Busuuli, ne Peka omwana wa Lemaliya, kabaka wa Isirayiri ne bambuka okulwanyisa Yerusaalemi naye ne balemererwa.
2 And it was tolde the house of Dauid, saying, Aram is ioyned with Ephraim: therefore his heart was moued, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moued by the winde.
Amawulire bwe gatuuka eri Kabaka wa Yuda nti, “Obusuuli bwegasse ne Efulayimu okubalumba”; omutima gwe n’egy’abantu ba Yuda bonna ne gikankana, ne giba ng’emiti egy’omu kibira eginyeenyezebwa embuyaga.
3 Then sayde the Lord vnto Isaiah, Goe foorth nowe to meete Ahaz (thou and Sheariashub thy sonne) at the ende of the conduit of the vpper poole, in the path of the fullers fielde,
Mukama Katonda n’alyoka agamba Isaaya nti, “Fuluma kaakano osisinkane Akazi, ggwe ne mutabani wo Seyalusayubu, olusalosalo olw’ekidiba ekyengulu we lukoma, mu luguudo olw’Ennimiro y’Omwozi w’Engoye,
4 And say vnto him, Take heede, and be still: feare not, neither be faint hearted for the two tailes of these smoking firebrands, for the furious wrath of Rezin and of Aram, and of Remaliahs sonne:
omugambe nti, ‘Weegendereze, beera mukkakkamu toba na kutya omutima gwo teguggwaamu maanyi olw’emimuli gino eginyooka egiggweeredde, olw’obusungu bwa Lezini, n’obwa Obusuuli n’obw’omwana wa Lemaliya obubuubuuka.’
5 Because Aram hath taken wicked counsell against thee, and Ephraim, and Remaliahs sonne, saying,
Kubanga Obusuuli ne Efulayimu ne mutabani wa Lemaliya bateesezza okukuleetako obulabe nga boogera nti,
6 Let vs goe vp against Iudah, and let vs waken them vp, and make a breach therein for vs, and set a King in the mids thereof, euen the sonne of Tabeal.
‘Ka twambuke tulumbe Yuda, tukiyuzeeyuze tukyegabanye, tufuule omwana wa Tabeeri okuba kabaka waakyo.’
7 Thus sayth the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it be.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ekyo tekiibeewo era tekirituukirira.
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within fiue and threescore yeere, Ephraim shalbe destroyed from being a people.
Kubanga Damasiko ge maanyi ga Busuuli era ne Lezini ge maanyi ga Damasiko. Mu bbanga lya myaka nkaaga mu etaano Efulayimu kiribetentebwatentebwa nga tekikyali ggwanga.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliahs sonne. If ye beleeue not, surely ye shall not be established.
Ne Samaliya ge maanyi ga Efulayimu, era mutabani wa Lemaliya ge maanyi ga Samaliya. Bwe mutalinywerera mu kukkiriza kwammwe, ddala temuliyimirira n’akatono.’”
10 And the Lord spake againe vnto Ahaz, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’addamu n’agamba Akazi nti,
11 Aske a signe for thee of the Lord thy God: aske it, either in the depth beneath or in the height aboue. (Sheol )
“Saba Mukama Katonda wo akabonero, ne bwe kanaaba mu buziba, oba mu magombe oba mu bwengula.” (Sheol )
12 But Ahaz sayd, I wil not aske, neither will I tempt the Lord.
Naye Akazi n’agamba nti, “Sijja kusaba kabonero, sijja kugezesa Mukama Katonda.”
13 Then he sayd, Heare you nowe, O house of Dauid, Is it a small thing for you to grieue men, that ye will also grieue my God?
Isaaya n’ayogera nti, “Muwulire mmwe kaakano, mmwe ennyumba ya Dawudi! Okugezesa abantu tekibamala? Ne Katonda munaamugezesa?
14 Therefore the Lord himselfe will giue you a signe. Beholde, the virgine shall conceiue and beare a sonne, and she shall call his name Immanu-el.
Noolwekyo Mukama yennyini kyaliva abawa akabonero; laba omuwala atamanyi musajja alizaala omwana wabulenzi era alituumibwa erinnya Emmanweri.
15 Butter and hony shall he eate, till he haue knowledge to refuse the euill, and to chuse the good.
Bw’alituuka okwawula ekirungi n’ekibi aliba alya muzigo na mubisi gwa njuki.
16 For afore the childe shall haue knowledge to eschew the euill, and to chuse the good, the land, that thou abhorrest, shalbe forsaken of both her Kings.
Kubanga ng’omwana bw’aba nga tannamanya kugaana kibi n’alondawo ekirungi, ensi eza bakabaka ababiri bootya erisigala matongo.
17 The Lord shall bring vpon thee, and vpon thy people, and vpon thy fathers house (the dayes that haue not come from the day that Ephraim departed from Iudah) euen the King of Asshur.
Mukama Katonda alikuleetako ne ku bantu bo ne ku nnyumba ya kitaawo ennaku ezitabangawo bukyanga Efulayimu eva ku Yuda; agenda kuleeta kabaka w’e Bwasuli.”
18 And in that day shall the Lord hisse for the flie that is at the vttermost part of the floods of Egypt, and for the bee which is in the lande of Asshur,
Olunaku olwo nga lutuuse, Mukama Katonda alikoowoola ensowera eri mu bifo eby’ewala eby’emigga egy’e Misiri, n’enjuki eri mu nsi y’e Bwasuli.
19 And they shall come and shall light all in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rockes, and vpon all thorny places, and vpon all bushy places.
Era byonna birijja bituule mu biwonvu ebyazika, ne mu njatika z’omu mayinja, ku maggwa, ne ku malundiro gonna.
20 In that day shall the Lord shaue with a rasor that is hired, euen by them beyond the Riuer, by the King of Asshur, the head and the heare of the feete, and it shall consume the beard.
Ku lunaku luli Mukama alimwesa akawembe akapangisiddwa emitala w’emigga, ye kabaka w’e Bwasuli, kammwe omutwe, n’obwoya bw’oku magulu, kasalireko ddala n’ekirevu.
21 And in the same day shall a man nourish a yong kow, and two sheepe.
Newaakubadde mu nnaku ezo, ng’omuntu alisigaza ente emu yokka n’endiga bbiri,
22 And for the abundance of milke, that they shall giue, hee shall eate butter: for butter and hony shall euery one eate, which is left within the land.
naye olw’obungi bw’amata agabivaamu, alirya ku muzigo. Kubanga buli alisigalawo mu nsi alirya muzigo na mubisi gwa njuki.
23 And at the same day euery place, wherein shalbe a thousand vines, shalbe at a thousand pieces of siluer: so it shalbe for the briers and for the thornes.
Era ng’olunaku lutuuse, buli kifo awaabanga emizabbibu, ng’olukumi lubalibwamu kilo kkumi n’emu n’ekitundu, kiriba kisigaddemu myeramannyo n’amaggwa.
24 With arrowes and with bowe shall one come thither: because all the land shall be briers and thornes.
Abantu baligendayo na busaale na mitego, kubanga ensi yonna eriba efuuse myeramannyo na maggwa.
25 But on all the mountaines, which shalbe digged with the mattocke, there shall not come thither the feare of briers and thornes: but they shalbe for the sending out of bullocks, and for the treading of sheepe.
N’ensozi zonna ze baalimanga n’enkumbi nga tezikyatuukikako olw’okutya emyeramannyo n’amaggwa, era kirifuuka ekifo ente n’endiga we byerundira.
