Isaiah 14
1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Mukama Katonda alikwatirwa Yakobo ekisa, addemu alonde Isirayiri abazze ku ttaka lyabwe. Ne bannamawanga balibeegattako era babeere wamu nga babeeyungiddeko ddala.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
N’amawanga mangi galibayamba okudda mu nsi yaabwe, n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri ebeere n’abantu abamawanga amangi mu nsi ya Mukama Katonda, nga baweereza baabwe abasajja n’abakazi. Baliwamba abaali babawambye, bafuge abo abaabakijjanyanga.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
Awo olunaku Mukama Katonda lw’alibawa okuwummula okuva mu kulumwa kwammwe n’okukijjanyizibwa kwe mubaddemu nga mukozesebwa,
4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
oligera olugero luno ku kabaka w’e Babulooni n’oyogera nti: Omujoozi ng’agudde n’aggwaawo! Ekibuga ekya zaabu ekibadde kitutigomya nga tekikyaliwo!
5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, [and] the sceptre of the rulers.
Mukama Katonda amenye omuggo ogw’abakozi b’ebibi, omuggo gw’obwakabaka ogw’abo abafuga.
6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, [and] none hindereth.
Ogwakubanga olutata amawanga n’obusungu, ogwafugisanga amawanga ekiruyi, ne gubayigganyanga nga tewali aguziyiza.
7 The whole earth is at rest, [and] is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Ensi yonna ewummudde eri mu mirembe, era batandise okuyimba.
8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, [and] the cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Si ekyo kyokka n’enfugo n’emivule gya Lebanooni, nagyo gikuyeeyeereza nti, “Kasookanga ogwa tebangayo ajja kututema.”
9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, [even] all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Amagombe wansi gagugumuka ku lulwo okukusisinkana ng’ojja, gagolokosa emyoyo gy’abafu ku lulwo, bonna abaali abakulembeze b’ensi; gayimusizza bakabaka ku ntebe zaabwe, bonna abaali bakabaka baamawanga. (Sheol h7585)
10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
Abo bonna balyogera ne bakugamba nti, “Naawe oweddemu amaanyi nga ffe! Naawe ofuuse nga ffe!”
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, [and] the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
Ekitiibwa kyo kyonna kissibbwa emagombe, awamu n’amaloboozi g’ennanga zo; bakwalidde envunyu, n’ensiriŋŋanyi zikubisseeko. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Ng’ogudde okuva mu ggulu, ggwe emunyeenye ey’enkya, omwana w’emambya! Ng’otemeddwa n’ogwa ku ttaka, ggwe eyamegganga amawanga!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Wayogera mu mutima gwo nti, “Ndirinnya mu ggulu, ndigulumiza entebe yange okusinga emunyeenye za Katonda; era nditeeka entebe yange waggulu ntuule ku lusozi olw’okukuŋŋaanirako ku njuyi ez’enkomerero ez’obukiikakkono;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
ndyambuka okusinga ebire we bikoma, ndyoke nfuuke ng’oyo ali waggulu ennyo.”
Naye ossibbwa wansi emagombe, ku ntobo y’obunnya. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Abo abanaakulabanga banaakwekalirizanga bakwewuunye nga bagamba nti, “Ono si ye musajja eyayugumyanga ensi, ng’anyeenyanyeenya obwakabaka!
17 [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners?
Eyafuula ensi okuba eddungu n’asuula ebibuga byayo, atakkirizanga bawambe kudda waabwe!”
18 All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
Bakabaka bonna ab’ensi bagalamidde mu kitiibwa, buli omu mu ntaana ye,
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
naye osuulibbwa okukuggya mu malaalo go ng’ettabi ery’omuzizo eryakyayibwa, ng’oteekeddwa wamu n’abattibwa, abaafumitibwa n’ekitala, abakka eri amayinja g’obunnya; ng’omulambo ogulinyiriddwa.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, [and] slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Toligattibwa n’abo mu kuziikibwa kubanga wazikiriza ensi yo n’otta abantu bo; ezzadde ly’abo abaakola ebibi teriryongerwako n’akatono.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Mutegeke ekifo batabani be we banattirwa olw’obutali butuukirivu bwa bakitaabwe, baleme okugolokoka ne balya ensi, ne bajjuza ensi yonna ebibuga byabwe.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
“Nange ndibagolokokerako,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, “ne mmalawo mu Babulooni erinnya lye, n’abalifikkawo, n’omwana n’omuzzukulu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
“Era ndimufuula obutaka bw’ebiwuugulu, n’entobazzi era mwere n’olweyo oluzikiriza,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, [so] shall it stand:
Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alayidde n’ayogera nti, “Ddala nga bwe nalowooza, bwe kirituukirira bwe kityo era nga bwe nateesa, bwe kirinywera bwe kityo.
25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
Ndimenyera Omwasuli mu nsi yange, era ndimulinnyirira ku nsozi zange. Ekikoligo kye kiribavaako, n’omugugu gwe guliggyibwa ku kibegabega kye.”
26 This [is] the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this [is] the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
Eno y’entegeka eyategekerwa ensi yonna: era guno gwe mukono ogwagololwa ku mawanga gonna.
27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul [it]? and his hand [is] stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ye yateesa, kale ani ayinza okukijjulula? Omukono gwe gugoloddwa, kale ani ayinza okuguzzaayo?
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
Mu mwaka kabaka Akazi mwe yafiira ne wabaawo obubaka buno.
29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit [shall be] a fiery flying serpent.
Tosanyuka ggwe Bufirisuuti yonna, kubanga omuggo ogwakukuba gumenyese, ne ku kikolo ky’omusota kulivaako enswera, n’ezzadde lyalyo liriba musota ogw’obusagwa oguwalabuka.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.
Abasingirayo ddala okuba abaavu balifuna ekyokulya, n’abali mu kwetaaga balifuna ku tulo naye ekikolo kyo ndikittisa enjala ate abo abalisigalawo mbattise ekitala.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, [art] dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none [shall be] alone in his appointed times.
Leekaana ggwe wankaaki, kaaba ggwe ekibuga, osaanuuke olw’entiisa ggwe Bufirisuuti yonna! Kubanga mu bukiikakkono muvaamu omukka, eggye ery’abalwanyi omutali munafu.
32 What shall [one] then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
Kale kiki kye banaddamu ababaka b’eggwanga eryo? “Mukama yassaawo Sayuuni, ne mu kyo abantu be ababonyaabonyezebwa mwe balifuna obuddukiro.”
