Isaiah 10
1 “Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
Nga zibasanze abo abateeka amateeka agatali ga bwenkanya, n’abo abawa ebiragiro ebinyigiriza,
2 Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil the fatherless.
okulemesa abaavu ne batafuna nsala ebagwanidde; era n’okunyaga ku bantu bange abaavu ebyabwe, ne bafuula bannamwandu omunyago gwabwe, n’abatalina ba kitaabwe omuyiggo gwabwe!
3 And what do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do you leave your glory?
Mulikola mutya ku lunaku Mukama lwalisalirako omusango ne mu kuzikirira okuliva ewala? Muliddukira w’ani alibayamba? Obugagga bwammwe mulibuleka wa?
4 It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Muliba temusigazza kya kukola kirala wabula okutwalibwa nga mukutaamiridde mu busibe oba okuba mu abo abattiddwa. Naye wadde nga biri bityo, obusungu bwe buliba tebunnaggwaawo, era n’omukono gwe guliba gukyagoloddwa.
5 “Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
“Zikusanze Bwasuli, omuggo gw’obusungu bwange, era omuggo gw’ekiruyi kyange.
6 I send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
Mmutuma okulumba eggwanga eritatya Mukama, era mmusindika eri abantu abansunguwazizza, abanyage, ababbire ddala, n’okubasambirira abasambirire ng’ebitoomi eby’omu nguudo.
7 And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations—not a few.
Naye kino si kye kigendererwa kye, kino si ky’alowooza. Ekigendererwa kye kwe kuzikiriza, okumalirawo ddala amawanga mangi.
8 For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
‘Abaduumizi bange bonna tebenkana bakabaka?’ bw’atyo bw’ayogera.
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
‘Kalino tetwakizikiriza nga Kalukemisi, ne Kamasi nga Alupaadi, ne Samaliya nga Ddamasiko?
10 As my hand has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
Ng’omukono gwange bwe gwawamba obwakabaka obusinza bakatonda ababajje, abasinga n’abo ab’omu Yerusaalemi ne Samaliya,
11 Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
nga bwe nakola Samaliya ne bakatonda baabwe abalala si bwe nnaakola Yerusaalemi ne bakatonda baabwe ababajje?’”
12 And it has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
Mukama bw’alimaliriza omulimu gwe ku lusozi Sayuuni era ne ku Yerusaalemi n’alyoka abonereza kabaka w’e Bwasuli olw’okwewaana n’okuduula kwe n’entunula ye ey’amalala.
13 For he has said, “I have worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,
Kubanga yayogera nti, “‘Bino byonna mbikoze olw’amaanyi g’omukono gwange, era n’olw’amagezi gange, kubanga ndi mukalabakalaba: Najjulula ensalo z’amawanga ne nnyaga obugagga bwabwe, ng’ow’amaanyi omuzira ne nzikakkanya bakabaka baabwe.
14 And my hand gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”
Ng’omuntu bw’akwata mu kisu, omukono gwange gw’akunuukiriza ne gukwata mu bugagga bw’amawanga; ng’abantu bwe balondalonda amagi agalekeddwawo, bwe ntyo bwe nakuŋŋaanya amawanga gonna, tewali na limu lyayanjuluza ku kiwaawaatiro, newaakubadde eryayasamya akamwa kaalyo okukaaba.’”
15 Does the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
Embazzi eyinza okweyita ey’ekitalo okusinga oyo agitemesa? Omusumeeno gulyekuza okusinga oyo agusazisa? Gy’obeera nti oluga luyinza okuwuuba omuntu alukozesa, oba omuggo okusitula oyo atali muti.
16 Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As the burning of a fire.
Noolwekyo Mukama, Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna, kyaliva aweereza obukovvu bulye abasajja be abaagejja, era wansi w’okujaganya n’ekitiibwa kye akoleeze wo omuliro ogwokya ng’oluyiira.
17 And the light of Israel has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
Ekitangaala kya Isirayiri kirifuuka omuliro, n’Omutukuvu waabwe abeere olulimi lw’omuliro, mu lunaku lumu kyokye kimalirewo ddala amaggwa ge n’emyeramannyo gye.
18 And the glory of his forest, and his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
Era kiryokya ne kimalirawo ddala ekitiibwa ky’ebibira bye, n’ennimiro ze, engimu, ng’omusajja omulwadde bwaggweerawo ddala.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth writes them.
N’emiti egy’omu kibira kye egirisigalawo giriba mitono nnyo nga n’omwana ayinza okugibala.
20 And it has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Awo olulituuka ku lunaku olwo, abaliba bafisseewo ku Isirayiri, n’abo abaliba bawonye ku nnyumba ya Yakobo nga tebakyeyinulira ku oyo eyabakuba naye nga beesigama ku Mukama Katonda, omutukuvu wa Isirayiri mu mazima.
21 A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.
Ekitundu ekirifikkawo kirikomawo, ekitundu kya Yakobo kirikomawo eri Katonda ow’amaanyi.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
Kubanga wadde abantu bo bangi ng’omusenyu gw’ennyanja, abalikomawo nga balamu baliba batono. Okuzikirira kwo kwa kubaawo kubanga kusaanidde.
23 For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
Kubanga Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alireeta enkomerero eteriiko kubuusabuusa nga bwe yateekateeka entuuko mu nsi yonna.
24 Therefore, thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in the way of Egypt.
Noolwekyo Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye kyava ayogera nti, “Mmwe abantu bange ababeera mu Sayuuni, temutyanga Abasuli, newaakubadde nga babakuba n’oluga era nga babagololera omuggo nga Abamisiri bwe baakola.
25 For yet a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
Kubanga mu kaseera katono nnyo obusungu bwange gy’oli bujja kukoma era ekiruyi kyange kiribazikiriza.”
26 And YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in the way of Egypt.
Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alibakuba n’akaswanyu nga bwe yakuba aba Midiyaani ku lwazi lw’e Olebu. Era aligololera oluga lwe ku nnyanja nga bwe yakola e Misiri.
27 And it has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.
Ku lunaku olwo, omugugu gwe guliggyibwa ku bibegabega byo, n’ekikoligo kye kive ku nsingo yo; ekikoligo kirimenyebwa olw’obugevvu bwo.
28 He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
Laba eggye ly’omulabe lituuse liwambye Yagasi, liyise mu Migulooni, era mu Mikumasi gye balireka emigugu gyabwe.
29 They have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
Bayise awavvuunukirwa, e Geba ne basulayo ekiro kimu, Laama akankana, Gibea wa Sawulo adduse.
30 Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
Kaaba n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ggwe omuwala wa Galimu! Ggwe Layisa wuliriza! Ng’olabye Anasosi!
31 Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
Madumena adduse, abantu b’e Gebimu beekukumye.
32 Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, The hill of Jerusalem.
Olwa leero bajja kusibira Nobu, balyolekeza ekikonde kyabwe eri olusozi lwa Muwala wa Sayuuni, akasozi ka Yerusaalemi.
33 Behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become low,
Laba, Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, alitema amatabi n’entiisa n’emiti emiwanvu n’emiwagguufu giritemerwa ddala, n’emiti emiwanvu girikkakkanyizibwa.
34 And He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
Era alitemera ddala n’embazzi ebisaka by’omu kibira; Lebanooni aligwa mu maaso g’oyo Ayinzabyonna.
