Isaiah 3
1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water;
Laba kaakano, Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, aggya ku Yerusaalemi ne ku Yuda ekibeesiguza ne kwe banyweredde, ekibeesiguza kyonna k’ebeere mmere, ka gabe mazzi.
2 The mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder;
Omusajja ow’amaanyi, n’omusajja omulwanyi omuzira, omulamuzi, ne nnabbi, n’omulaguzi, n’omukadde.
3 The captain of fifty, and the man of rank, and the counsellor, and the cunning charmer, and the skilful enchanter.
Omuduumizi akulira ekibinja ky’amakumi ataano, n’omuwi w’amagezi, omulogo, omufuusa omugezigezi.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
“Era ndifuula abalenzi obulenzi okuba abafuzi baabwe, n’abaana obwana balibafuga.”
5 And the people shall oppress one another, every man his fellow, and every man his neighbour; the child shall behave insolently against the aged, and the base against the honourable,
Era abantu balijooga bannaabwe, buli muntu anyigirize munne, ne muliraanwa anyigirize muliraanwa we. Abato baliyisa mu bakulu amaaso n’oyo omuntu ataliiko bw’ali ajooge omuntu ow’ekitiibwa.
6 For a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father: 'Thou hast a mantle, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.'
Ekiseera kirituuka omusajja agambe muganda we nti, “Ggwe alina ku ngoye ba omukulembeze waffe, n’ebizibu bino ggwe oba obyetikka!”
7 In that day shall he swear, saying: 'I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor a mantle; ye shall not make me ruler of a people.'
Naye ku olwo lwennyini aliddamu nti, “Si nze n’aba ow’okubawonya, mu nnyumba yange temuli mmere, wadde ebyambalo. Temumpa kukulembera bantu!”
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of His glory.
Kubanga Yerusaalemi kizikiridde ne Yuda agudde! Kubanga ebigambo byabwe byonna n’ebikolwa biwakanya Mukama Katonda, bityoboola ekitiibwa kye.
9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have wrought evil unto themselves.
Engeri gye batunulamu eragira ddala nga bwe balina omusango, era boolesa ekibi kyabwe nga Sodomu awatali kukweka n’akatono. Zibasanze! Kubanga bo bennyini be beereeteedde okuzikirira.
10 Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Gamba abatuukirivu nti bo tebaabeeko mutawaana, kubanga baakuwoomerwa ebibala by’ebikolwa byabwe.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the work of his hands shall be done to him.
Zisanze abakozi b’ebivve! Banaatuuka mu kuzikirira! Balisasulibwa emikono gyabwe kye gikoze.
12 As for My people, a babe is their master, and women rule over them. O My people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Abantu bange banyigirizibwa abaana abato, abakazi kaakano be babafuga. Woowe! Abantu bange bakyamizibwa abakulembeze baabwe era babatabulatabula okubaggya mu kkubo ettuufu.
13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.
Mukama Katonda ali mu kifo kye mu mbuga, ayimiridde okusalira abantu be omusango.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and the princes thereof: 'It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses;
Mukama Katonda asala omusango gw’abakadde n’abakulembeze b’abantu be. “Mmwe mwayonoona ennimiro yange ey’emizabbibu. Ebyanyagibwa ku baavu biri mu nnyumba zammwe.
15 What mean ye that ye crush My people, and grind the face of the poor?' saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts.
Lwaki mulinnyirira abantu bange, lwaki mutulugunya abaavu?” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
16 Moreover the LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;
Mukama Katonda agamba nti, “Abakazi b’omu Sayuuni beemanyi, era batambula balalambazza ensingo nga batunuza bukaba. Batambula basiira nga bavuza obukomo bw’oku magulu gaabwe.
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts.
Mukama kyaliva aleeta amabwa ku mitwe gy’abakazi ba Sayuuni, ne gifuuka gya biwalaata.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the fillets, and the crescents;
Olunaku lujja Mukama lwaliggya ku bakazi b’omu Yerusaalemi ebintu byonna ebibaleetera amalala, ebikomo by’oku magulu, ebitambaala ebibikka ku mitwe, n’obukuufiira,
19 the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils;
ebyokumatu, ebyambalwa mu bulago, n’obutimba bw’omu maaso,
20 the headtires, and the armlets, and the sashes, and the corselets, and the amulets;
ebyokumitwe, ebyokumikono, ebyomukiwato,
21 the rings, and the nose-jewels;
empeta ez’oku ngalo n’ez’omu nnyindo,
22 the aprons, and the mantelets, and the cloaks, and the girdles;
engoye ennungi, n’eminagiro, n’amaganduula, n’obusawo,
23 and the gauze robes, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the mantles.
n’endabirwamu, n’engoye ez’obutimba, n’eza linena, n’ebitambaala eby’oku mitwe ebinaanikiddwa n’amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’engoye ezibabikka.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle rags; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.
Mu kifo ky’akaloosa walibaawo kuwunya kivundu, awandibadde enkoba ennungi wabeewo biguwa, n’awaali enviiri ennongoose obulungi wabeewo kiwalaata, mu kifo ky’engoye babeere mu nziina, n’awaali obulungi waddewo obulambe.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
Abasajja bo balittibwa kitala, abalwanyi bo abazira bagwire mu lutalo.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and utterly bereft she shall sit upon the ground.
N’enzigi za Sayuuni zirikaaba ne zikungubaga era ekibuga kyennyini kiriba ng’omukazi alekeddwa obwereere ng’atudde mu ttaka.
