Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not from me; and that set themselves a ruler, but not by my spirit, in order that they may add sin to sin:
“Zibasanze abaana abajeemu, Abakola enteekateeka ezitali zange ne bazituukiriza ne batta omukago awatali Mwoyo wange ne bongera ekibi ku kibi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
2 That travel to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my will; to strengthen themselves through the strength of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
“Baserengeta e Misiri nga tebanneebuuzizzaako, ne banoonya obuyambi ewa Falaawo, n’okuva eri ekisiikirize kya Misiri okuba obuddukiro.
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh become your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt your disgrace.
Naye obukuumi bwa Falaawo buliswazibwa, n’ekisiikirize kya Misiri kirikuswaza.
4 For his princes were at Zo'an, and his ambassadors had reached Chanes.
Newaakubadde nga balina abakungu mu Zowani n’ababaka baabwe batuuse e Kanesi,
5 They all are ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, neither be a help nor give profit; but [bringeth] shame, and also a reproach.
buli muntu aliswazibwa olw’eggwanga eritabagasa, abataleeta buyambi newaakubadde okuba ab’omugaso, okuggyako ensonyi n’ekivume,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
6 The doom of the beasts of the south: Through the land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying dragons, they will carry upon the shoulders of young asses their riches, and upon the humps of camels their treasures, to a people that cannot profit.
Obunnabbi obukwata ku nsolo za Negevu bwe buno: Ababaka bayita mu nsi nga balaba ennaku ne batawaanyizibwa mu nsi erimu empologoma ensajja n’enkazi, erimu essalambwa n’omusota ogw’obusagwa nga batadde eby’obugagga byabwe ku ndogoyi, n’ebintu byabwe eby’omuwendo ku mabango g’eŋŋamira nga boolekedde ensi etaliimu magoba.
7 And the Egyptians will help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called this, Boasters they are in sitting still.
Bagenda e Misiri, eterina kyeyinza kubayamba n’akatono. Kyenva muyita Lakabu ataliiko kyayinza kukola.
8 Now go, write it before them on a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the latest time to come, for ever, and to eternity:
Genda kaakano, okibawandiikire ku kipande, okiwandiike ku mizingo, kibabeererenga obujulizi obw’emirembe n’emirembe mu nnaku ezigenda okujja.
9 For this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
Weewaawo bano bantu bajeemu, baana balimba, baana abateetegese kuwulira biragiro bya Mukama.
10 Who have said to the seers, Ye shall not see; and to the prophets, Reveal not unto us true things, speak unto us smooth things, reveal deceits;
Bagamba abalabi nti, “Temuddayo kufuna kwolesebwa,” N’eri bannabbi boogera nti, “Temuddayo kututegeeza kwolesebwa kutuufu. Mututegeeze ebitusanyusa, mulagule ebituwabya.
11 Depart you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, remove from before us the Holy One of Israel.
Muve mu kkubo lino, mukyame muve ku luguudo luno, mulekeraawo okututegeeza ku Mutukuvu wa Isirayiri.”
12 Therefore thus hath said the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean thereon for aid:
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri nti, “Olw’okugaana obubaka buno, ne mwesiga okunyigirizibwa, ne mwesiga omulimba,
13 Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a threatening breach, swelling out in a high-towering wall, the fall of which will come unawares, suddenly.
ekibi kino kyekiriva kikufuukira bbugwe omuwanvu, alimu enjatika era azimbye, okutemya n’okuzibula ng’agudde.
14 And he will break it, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, dashing it in pieces without sparing it; so that there cannot be found among its fragments a sherd to rake fire from a hearth and to draw water from a pit.
Alimenyekamenyeka mu bitundutundu ng’ensumbi eyakolebwa mu bbumba, n’asaasaanyizibwa awatali kusaasira, era tewaliba luggyo ku byamenyekamenyeka olulirabika okusobola okuyoozesa omuliro mu kyoto, oba okusenyesa amazzi mu kinnya.”
15 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, the Holy One of Israel, In repose and rest shall ye be helped; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.
Weewaawo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri nti, “Mu kwenenya ne mu kuwummula mwe muli obulokozi bwammwe, mu kusiriikirira ne mu kwesiga mwe muli amaanyi gammwe, naye temufuddeeyo.
16 And ye said, “No; for upon horses will we flee;” therefore shall ye flee: and, “Upon swift beasts will we ride;” therefore shall your pursuers be swift.
Wayogera nti, ‘Nedda tuliddukira ku mbalaasi.’ Kyoliva odduka. Wayogera nti, ‘Tuliddukira ku mbalaasi ezidduka ennyo.’ Ababagoba kyebaliva bawenyuka emisinde.
17 One thousand [shall flee] at the threatening of one; at the threatening of five shall ye [all] flee: till ye be left as a pole upon a mountain-top, and as an ensign on a hill.
Abantu olukumi balidduka olw’okutiisibwatiisibwa kw’omuntu omu; Olw’okutiisibwatiisibwa kw’abataano, olidduka, Okutuusa lw’olisigala ng’omulongooti okuwanikibwa bbendera oguli ku ntikko y’olusozi, ng’ebendera eri ku kasozi.”
18 And therefore will the Lord wait, to be gracious unto you, and therefore will he exalt himself, to have mercy upon you; for a God of justice is the Lord: happy are all those that wait for him.
Songa Mukama ayagala nnyo okuba ow’ekisa gy’oli; era agolokoka okukulaga okusaasira. Kubanga Mukama Katonda wa bwenkanya, balina omukisa bonna abamulindirira.
19 For O people of Zion that shall dwell at Jerusalem! thou shalt indeed not weep: he will be surely gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; so soon as he heareth it, he answereth thee.
Mmwe abantu ba Sayuuni ababeera mu Yerusaalemi, temuliddayo kukaaba. Alikukwatirwa ekisa bw’olimukaabira ng’omusaba akuyambe. Amangwago ng’awulidde, alikwanukula.
20 And the Lord will give you bread [in] adversity, and water [in] oppression; and thy teachers shall not have to hide themselves in a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers:
Newaakubadde nga Mukama akuwa omugaati ogw’okulaba ennaku, n’amazzi ag’okubonaabona, abasomesa bo tebaliddamu kukwekebwa, era olibalaba n’amaaso go.
21 And thy ears shall hear the word behind thee, saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it,” when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Bw’olidda ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ku gwa kkono, amatu go galiwulira eddoboozi emabega wo nga ligamba nti, “Lino ly’ekkubo, litambuliremu.”
22 And ye will regard as unclean the covering of thy graven idols of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou wilt cast them away as a filthy thing; “Get thee hence,” wilt thou say unto them.
Olwo olyonoonayonoona ebintu ebyakolebwa n’emikono ebiriko ffeeza, n’ebifaananyi byo ebyabikkibwako zaabu, era olibisuula nga bw’osuula ekiwero ekikozesebwa mu nsonga za bakyala era olibigamba nti, “Muveewo.”
23 Then will he give the rain for thy seed, that thou mayest sow in the ground; and bread—the produce of the ground—this shall be fat and nutritious: thy cattle shall feed on that day in extensive pastures.
Alibaweereza n’enkuba olw’ensigo z’osiga mu ttaka, n’emmere eva mu ttaka eggimu nga nnyingi. Mu biro ebyo ente zo ziririira mu ddundiro eggazi.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
Ente n’endogoyi ezirima ettaka zirirya omuddo ogwaterekebwa n’emmere ensotte, eyawewebwa n’ekitiiyo eky’amannyo.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every prominent hill, rivulets, streams of waters on the day of the great slaughter, when towers fall.
Mu biro eby’okuttibwa okunene, emirongooti bwe girigwa, emigga gy’amazzi girikulukuta ku buli lusozi oluwanvu na ku buli kasozi akagulumivu.
26 And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, on the day that the Lord bindeth up the broken [limbs] of his people, and healeth the bruise of their wound.
Omwezi gulyaka ng’enjuba, n’omusana gulyaka emirundi musanvu okusinga ogwa bulijjo, ng’ekitangaala ky’ennaku omusanvu zonna awamu, Mukama bw’alinyiga ekinuubule ky’abantu be, n’awonya ekiwundu ky’abaakosebwa.
27 Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from afar, burning is his anger, and heavy the smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire;
Laba, erinnya lya Mukama liva wala n’obusungu obubuubuuka n’omukka ogukutte ng’ekire; emimwa gye gijjudde ekiruyi, n’olulimi lwe muliro ogusaanyaawo.
28 And his breath, like an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to toss the nations with the van of falsehood: and [to place] a deceiving bridle on the jaws of the people.
Omukka gwe guli ng’omugga gw’amazzi agakulukuta n’amaanyi, agabimba okutuuka mu bulago. Anyeenyanyeenya amawanga mu kakuŋŋunta ak’okuzikirizibwa era mu mba z’abantu ateekamu eddobo ery’okubawabya.
29 [Then] shall ye have a song, as in the night when a festival is ushered in, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with the flute to come unto the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.
Oluyimba luliba ng’olwo lwoyimba mu kiro ng’ojaguza ku mbaga entukuvu; omutima gwo gulijaguza ng’abantu bwe bajaguza nga bafuuwa endere ku lusozi lwa Mukama, ku lwazi lwa Isirayiri.
30 And the Lord will cause his majestic voice to be heard, and will show the stretching down of his arm, in the indignation of [his] anger, and in the flame of a devouring fire, in flood, and tempest, and stones of hail.
Mukama aliyamba abantu okuwulira eddoboozi lye ery’ekitiibwa, alibaleetera okulaba omukono gwe nga gukka mu busungu obungi ennyo ne mu muliro ogusaanyaawo, ne mu bire ebibwatuka, ne mu muzira.
31 For because of the voice of the Lord shall be terrified Asshur, that smote [you] with the rod.
Weewaawo eddoboozi lya Mukama lirisesebbula Bwasuli, alibakuba n’omuggo gwe ogw’obwakabaka.
32 And at every passage of the appointed staff which the Lord will let fall on him, there shall be [music] on tambourine and harp; and in the tumult of battles will he fight with them.
Buli muggo Mukama gw’anakukubanga n’oluga lwe olubonereza, guliba ng’ebivuga by’ebitaasa n’entongooli, ng’abalwanyisa n’omukono gwe mu ntalo.
33 For already of old is Topheth made ready; also this is prepared for the king—deep and wide; its pile hath fire and wood in plenty, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, will kindle it into a flame.
Weewaawo Tofesi amaze ebbanga ddene nga yeeteekateeka; ky’ateekebwateekebwa kabaka. Ekinnya kyakyo eky’omuliro kiwanvu era kigazi, kijjudde omuliro n’enku; omukka gwa Mukama gugukoleeza ng’omugga gwa salufa.
