Isaiah 8
1 And the LORD said unto me: 'Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it in common script: The spoil speedeth, the prey hasteth;
Awo Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Kwata ekipande ekinene okiwandiikeko n’ekkalaamu nti: Kya Makerusalalukasubazi.”
2 and I will take unto Me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.'
Ne ndyoka neeyitira abajulirwa abeesigwa, Uliya kabona, ne Zekkaliya omwana wa Yeberekiya.
3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD unto me: 'Call his name Maher-shalal-hashbaz.
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 child shall have knowledge to cry: My father, and: My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.'
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 spoke unto me yet again, saying:
Mukama Katonda n’addamu n’ayogera nange nti,
6 Forasmuch as this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoiceth with Rezin and Remaliah's son;
“Kubanga abantu bano bagaanye amazzi g’e Sirowa agakulukuta empolampola, ne bajaguza olwa Lezini ne mutabani wa Lemaliya,
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, mighty and many, even the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his 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 he shall sweep through Judah overflowing as he passeth through he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
Era galyeyongera ne ganjaala mu Yuda, galyanjaala ne gamuyitamu gakome ne mu bulago, n’emikutu gyago gyegolole okujjuza ensi yo, ggwe Emmanweri.”
9 Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be 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 counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us.
Muteese enkola yammwe, naye yakugwa butaka, mwogere ekigambo naye tekirituukirira.
11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, admonishing me that I should not walk 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 conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people do say: A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor account it dreadful.
“Ebintu byonna abantu bano bye bayita enkwe, temubiyita nkwe, era temutya bye batya, wadde okutekemuka omutima.
13 The LORD of hosts, Him shall ye sanctify; and let Him be your fear, 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 shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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 fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.'
Era bangi abaliryesittalako, bagwe, bamenyeke, bategebwe bakwatibwe.”
16 'Bind up the testimony, seal the instruction among My disciples.'
Nyweza obujulirwa okakase amateeka mu bayigirizwa bange.
17 And I will wait for the LORD, that hideth His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for Him.
Nange nnaalindirira Mukama Katonda akwese amaaso ge okuva ku nnyumba ya Yakobo, mmunoonye n’essuubi.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me shall be for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who 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 unto you: 'Seek unto the ghosts and the familiar spirits, that chirp and that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living unto 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 for instruction and for testimony?' — Surely they will speak according to this word, wherein there is no light. —
Tudde eri amateeka n’obujulirwa! Bwe baba teboogera bwe batyo, mazima obudde tebugenda kubakeerera.
21 And they shall pass this way that are sore bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and, whether they turn their faces upward,
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 or look unto the earth, behold distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish, and outspread thick darkness.
Era bwe balitunula ku nsi baliraba nnaku na kizikiza, n’entiisa ey’okubonaabona basuulibwe mu kizikiza ekikutte zigizigi.
