Isaiah 31
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Zibasanze abo abaserengeta e Misiri okuyambibwa, abeesiga embalaasi, abeesiga amagaali gaabwe amangi, abeesiga amaanyi amangi ag’abeebagala embalaasi ne batatunuulira Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri wadde okunoonya obuyambi bwa Mukama.
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
Kyokka Mukama mugezi era asobola okuleeta akabi; tajjulula bigambo bye. Aligolokokera ku nnyumba y’abatali batuukirivu, ne ku abo abayamba abakozi b’ebibi.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helps shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
Naye Abamisiri bantu buntu si Katonda n’embalaasi zaabwe mibiri bubiri. Katonda bw’agolola omukono gwe oyo ayamba, alyesittala, n’oyo ayambibwa aligwa era bombi balizikiririra wamu.
4 For thus has the LORD spoken unto me, Like the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor bring low himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
Ddala ddala bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama gye ndi nti, “Ng’empologoma bwe wuluguma, empologoma ey’amaanyi bwe wulugumira ku muyiggo gwayo era newaakubadde ng’ekibinja ky’abasumba kiyitibwa awamu okugirumba, tetiisibwatiisibwa kuwowogana kwabwe, newaakubadde oluyoogaano lwabwe. Bw’atyo ne Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’aliserengeta, okulwanira ku lusozi Sayuuni ne ku busozi bwa lwo.
5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
Ng’ebinyonyi bwe bibuukira waggulu, bw’atyo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’alisaanikira Yerusaalemi; alikikuuma, n’akiwonya, alikiyitamu n’akirokola.”
6 Turn all of you unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
Mudde eri oyo gwe mwajeemera ennyo, mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri.
7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
Mu biro ebyo buli omu ku mmwe alisuulira ddala wala ebitali Katonda ebya ffeeza ne zaabu, emikono gyo egitali mituukirivu gye byakola.
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be humiliated.
“Bwasuli kirigwa n’ekitala ekitali kya muntu; ekitala ekitali ky’abo abafa kirimusaanyaawo. Alidduka ekitala, n’abavubuka be balikozesebwa emirimu egy’amaanyi n’obuwaze.
9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the explicit sign, says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Ekigo kyabwe kirigwa olw’okutya, n’abaduumizi baabwe balitekemuka omutima olw’okulaba ebbendera ey’olutalo,” bw’ayogera Mukama nannyini muliro oguli mu Sayuuni, era nannyini kikoomi ekiri mu Yerusaalemi.
