Isaiah 8
1 Moreover, the Lord sayd vnto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a mans penne, Make speede to the spoyle: haste to the praye.
Awo Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Kwata ekipande ekinene okiwandiikeko n’ekkalaamu nti: Kya Makerusalalukasubazi.”
2 Then I tooke vnto me faithfull witnesses to recorde, Vriah the Priest, and Zechariah the sonne of Ieberechiah.
Ne ndyoka neeyitira abajulirwa abeesigwa, Uliya kabona, ne Zekkaliya omwana wa Yeberekiya.
3 After, I came vnto the Prophetesse, which conceiued, and bare a sonne. Then sayd the Lord to me, Call his name, Mahershalalhash-baz.
Ne ŋŋenda eri nnabbi omukazi, n’aba olubuto, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi. Mukama Katonda n’alyoka agamba nti, “Mmutuume erinnya Makerusalalukasubazi.
4 For before the childe shall haue knowledge to crye, My father, and my mother, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoyle of Samaria, before the King of Asshur.
Kubanga omwana nga tannamanya kugamba nti, ‘Taata’, oba ‘Maama’, obugagga bw’e Ddamasiko n’omunyago gwe Samaliya birinyagibwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli.”
5 And the Lord spake yet againe vnto me, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’addamu n’ayogera nange nti,
6 Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that runne softly, and reioyce with Rezin, and the sonne of Remaliah,
“Kubanga abantu bano bagaanye amazzi g’e Sirowa agakulukuta empolampola, ne bajaguza olwa Lezini ne mutabani wa Lemaliya,
7 Nowe therefore, beholde, the Lord bringeth vp vpon them the waters of the Riuer mightie and great, euen the King of Asshur with all his glory, and he shall come vp vpon all their riuers, and goe ouer all their banks,
kale nno Mukama anaatera okubaleetako amazzi ag’Omugga, ag’amaanyi era amayitirivu, ye kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’ekitiibwa kye kyonna; galisukka ensalosalo zonna, ne ganjaala ku ttale lyonna.
8 And shall breake into Iudah, and shall ouerflowe and passe through, and shall come vp to the necke, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanu-el.
Era galyeyongera ne ganjaala mu Yuda, galyanjaala ne gamuyitamu gakome ne mu bulago, n’emikutu gyago gyegolole okujjuza ensi yo, ggwe Emmanweri.”
9 Gather together on heapes, O ye people, and ye shalbe broken in pieces, and hearken all ye of farre countreys: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces.
Muyimbe ennyimba z’entalo mmwe amawanga naye mwekaabire. Mutege amatu mmwe mwenna ab’ensi ezeewala; mwenyweze naye mwekaabire; mwenyweze naye mwekaabire.
10 Take counsell together, yet it shall be brought to nought: pronounce a decree, yet shall it not stand: for God is with vs.
Muteese enkola yammwe, naye yakugwa butaka, mwogere ekigambo naye tekirituukirira.
11 For the Lord spake thus to me in taking of mine hand, and taught me, that I should not walke in the way of this people, saying,
Kubanga Mukama Katonda yayogera nange ng’antaddeko omukono gwe ogw’amaanyi, ng’andabula nneme okugoberera ekkubo ly’abantu bano, ng’aŋŋamba nti,
12 Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them.
“Ebintu byonna abantu bano bye bayita enkwe, temubiyita nkwe, era temutya bye batya, wadde okutekemuka omutima.
13 Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,
Naye mujjukire nti nze Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, nze Mutukuvu, nze gwe muba mutya, era gwe muba mwekengera.
14 And he shalbe as a Sanctuarie: but as a stumbling stone, and as a rocke to fall vpon, to both the houses of Israel, and as a snare and as a net to the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
Olw’obutukuvu eri ennyumba zombi eza Isirayiri aliba ejjinja era olwazi kwe bagwa, era alibeera omutego era ekyambika eri ab’omu Yerusaalemi.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall and shalbe broken and shalbe snared and shalbe taken.
Era bangi abaliryesittalako, bagwe, bamenyeke, bategebwe bakwatibwe.”
16 Binde vp the testimonie: seale vp the Law among my disciples.
Nyweza obujulirwa okakase amateeka mu bayigirizwa bange.
17 Therefore I will waite vpon the Lord that hath hid his face from the house of Iaakob, and I wil looke for him.
Nange nnaalindirira Mukama Katonda akwese amaaso ge okuva ku nnyumba ya Yakobo, mmunoonye n’essuubi.
18 Beholde, I and the children whome the Lord hath giuen me, are as signes and as wonders in Israel, by the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Laba, nze n’abaana Mukama Katonda bampadde tuli bubonero n’ebyewuunyo mu Isirayiri obuva eri Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, abeera ku lusozi Sayuuni.
19 And when they shall say vnto you, Enquire at them that haue a spirit of diuination, and at the soothsayers, which whisper and murmure, Should not a people enquire at their God? from the liuing to the dead?
Abantu bwe babagamba nti mwebuuze ku abo abaliko emizimu, n’abasamize abakaaba ng’ennyonyi era abajoboja, eggwanga tekirigwanira kwebuuza ku Katonda waalyo? Lwaki ebikwata ku balamu mubibuuza abafu?
20 To the Law, and to the testimonie, if they speake not according to this worde: it is because there is no light in them.
Tudde eri amateeka n’obujulirwa! Bwe baba teboogera bwe batyo, mazima obudde tebugenda kubakeerera.
21 Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and from in it: and when he shalbe hungry, he shall euen freat himselfe, and curse his King and his gods, and shall looke vpward.
Era baliyita mu nsi nga beeraliikirira nnyo nga balumwa enjala; era enjala bweriyitirira okubaluma ne banyiiga era nga batunudde waggulu balikolimira kabaka ne Katonda waabwe.
22 And when he shall looke to the earth, beholde trouble, and darkenes, vexation and anguish, and he is driuen to darkenes.
Era bwe balitunula ku nsi baliraba nnaku na kizikiza, n’entiisa ey’okubonaabona basuulibwe mu kizikiza ekikutte zigizigi.
