Isaiah 25
1 The LORD, you are my God. I will exalt you. I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, gwe Katonda wange; ndikugulumiza ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, kubanga okoze ebintu eby’ettendo, ebintu bye wateekateeka edda, mu bwesigwa bwo.
2 For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of the insolent is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
Ekibuga okifudde ntuumu ya bisasiro, ekibuga ekiriko ekigo okifudde matongo, ekibuga omwaddukiranga bannaggwanga tekikyali kibuga, tekirizimbibwa nate.
3 Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
Abantu ab’amaanyi kyebaliva bakussaamu ekitiibwa n’ebibuga eby’amawanga ag’entiisa birikutya.
4 For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
Ddala obadde kiddukiro eri abaavu, ekiddukiro eri oyo eyeetaaga, ekiddukiro ng’eriyo embuyaga n’ekisiikirize awali ebbugumu. Omukka gw’ab’entiisa guli ng’embuyaga ekuntira ku kisenge
5 As the heat in a dry place will you bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
era ng’ebbugumu ery’omu ddungu. Osirisa oluyoogaano lw’abannaggwanga, era ng’ekisiikirize eky’ekire bwe kikendeeza ebbugumu, n’oluyimba lw’abakambwe bwe lusirisibwa.
6 In this mountain, the LORD of hosts will make all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of choice wines, of fat things full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
Ku lusozi luno Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye aliteekerateekerako abantu bonna ekijjulo eky’emmere ennungi, n’embaga eya wayini omuka n’ennyama esingayo obulungi, ne wayini asinga obulungi.
7 He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
Ku lusozi luno alizikiriza ekibikka ekyetoolodde abantu bonna, n’eggigi eribikka amawanga gonna,
8 He has swallowed up death in victory. The LORD will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for the LORD has spoken it.
era alimalirawo ddala okufa. Mukama Katonda alisangula amaziga mu maaso gonna, era aliggyawo okuswazibwa kw’abantu be mu nsi yonna. Mukama ayogedde.
9 It shall be said in that day, "Look, this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is the LORD. We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
Mu biro ebyo balyogera nti, “Eky’amazima oyo ye Katonda waffe; twamwesiga n’atulokola. Ono ye Mukama Katonda twamwesiga; tusanyukire mu bulokozi bwe, era tumujagulizeemu.”
10 For in this mountain the hand of the LORD will rest. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in a dunghill.
Ddala omukono gwa Mukama Katonda guliwummulira ku lusozi luno, naye Mowaabu alirinnyirirwa wansi we, ng’essubi bwe lirinnyirirwa okukolamu ebijimusa.
11 He will spread out his hands in its midst, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
Aligolola emikono gye, ng’omuwuzi bw’agolola emikono gye ng’awuga. Katonda alikkakkanya amalala ge newaakubadde ng’emikono gye gikola eby’amagezi.
12 He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
Alimenya bbugwe omuwanvu, n’amusuula, alimusuula ku ttaka, mu nfuufu.
