< Isaiah 7 >

1 It happened in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but they could not prevail against it.
Awo olwatuuka mu mirembe gya Akazi omwana wa Yosamu, omwana wa Uzziya, kabaka wa Yuda, Lezini kabaka w’e Busuuli, ne Peka omwana wa Lemaliya, kabaka wa Isirayiri ne bambuka okulwanyisa Yerusaalemi naye ne balemererwa.
2 It was told the house of David, saying, "Aram is allied with Ephraim." His heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
Amawulire bwe gatuuka eri Kabaka wa Yuda nti, “Obusuuli bwegasse ne Efulayimu okubalumba”; omutima gwe n’egy’abantu ba Yuda bonna ne gikankana, ne giba ng’emiti egy’omu kibira eginyeenyezebwa embuyaga.
3 Then Jehovah said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the Launderers' Field.
Mukama Katonda n’alyoka agamba Isaaya nti, “Fuluma kaakano osisinkane Akazi, ggwe ne mutabani wo Seyalusayubu, olusalosalo olw’ekidiba ekyengulu we lukoma, mu luguudo olw’Ennimiro y’Omwozi w’Engoye,
4 Tell him, 'Be careful, and keep calm. Do not be afraid, neither let your heart be faint because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram, and of the son of Remaliah.
omugambe nti, ‘Weegendereze, beera mukkakkamu toba na kutya omutima gwo teguggwaamu maanyi olw’emimuli gino eginyooka egiggweeredde, olw’obusungu bwa Lezini, n’obwa Obusuuli n’obw’omwana wa Lemaliya obubuubuuka.’
5 Because Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have plotted evil against you, saying,
Kubanga Obusuuli ne Efulayimu ne mutabani wa Lemaliya bateesezza okukuleetako obulabe nga boogera nti,
6 "Let's go up against Judah, and tear it apart, and let's divide it among ourselves, and set up a king in its midst, even the son of Tabeel."
‘Ka twambuke tulumbe Yuda, tukiyuzeeyuze tukyegabanye, tufuule omwana wa Tabeeri okuba kabaka waakyo.’
7 This is what Jehovah says: "It shall not stand, neither shall it happen."
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ekyo tekiibeewo era tekirituukirira.
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people;
Kubanga Damasiko ge maanyi ga Busuuli era ne Lezini ge maanyi ga Damasiko. Mu bbanga lya myaka nkaaga mu etaano Efulayimu kiribetentebwatentebwa nga tekikyali ggwanga.
9 and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.'"
Ne Samaliya ge maanyi ga Efulayimu, era mutabani wa Lemaliya ge maanyi ga Samaliya. Bwe mutalinywerera mu kukkiriza kwammwe, ddala temuliyimirira n’akatono.’”
10 Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Mukama Katonda n’addamu n’agamba Akazi nti,
11 "Ask a sign of Jehovah your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above." (Sheol h7585)
“Saba Mukama Katonda wo akabonero, ne bwe kanaaba mu buziba, oba mu magombe oba mu bwengula.” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah."
Naye Akazi n’agamba nti, “Sijja kusaba kabonero, sijja kugezesa Mukama Katonda.”
13 He said, "Listen now, house of David: Is it not enough for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God also?
Isaaya n’ayogera nti, “Muwulire mmwe kaakano, mmwe ennyumba ya Dawudi! Okugezesa abantu tekibamala? Ne Katonda munaamugezesa?
14 Therefore Jehovah himself will give you a sign. Look, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel.
Noolwekyo Mukama yennyini kyaliva abawa akabonero; laba omuwala atamanyi musajja alizaala omwana wabulenzi era alituumibwa erinnya Emmanweri.
15 He shall eat curds and honey when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Bw’alituuka okwawula ekirungi n’ekibi aliba alya muzigo na mubisi gwa njuki.
16 For before the child knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
Kubanga ng’omwana bw’aba nga tannamanya kugaana kibi n’alondawo ekirungi, ensi eza bakabaka ababiri bootya erisigala matongo.
17 Jehovah will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
Mukama Katonda alikuleetako ne ku bantu bo ne ku nnyumba ya kitaawo ennaku ezitabangawo bukyanga Efulayimu eva ku Yuda; agenda kuleeta kabaka w’e Bwasuli.”
18 It will happen in that day that Jehovah will whistle for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Olunaku olwo nga lutuuse, Mukama Katonda alikoowoola ensowera eri mu bifo eby’ewala eby’emigga egy’e Misiri, n’enjuki eri mu nsi y’e Bwasuli.
19 They shall come, and shall all rest in the desolate valleys, in the clefts of the rocks, on all thorn hedges, and on all pastures.
Era byonna birijja bituule mu biwonvu ebyazika, ne mu njatika z’omu mayinja, ku maggwa, ne ku malundiro gonna.
20 In that day Jehovah will shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
Ku lunaku luli Mukama alimwesa akawembe akapangisiddwa emitala w’emigga, ye kabaka w’e Bwasuli, kammwe omutwe, n’obwoya bw’oku magulu, kasalireko ddala n’ekirevu.
21 It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep;
Newaakubadde mu nnaku ezo, ng’omuntu alisigaza ente emu yokka n’endiga bbiri,
22 and it shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left in the midst of the land.
naye olw’obungi bw’amata agabivaamu, alirya ku muzigo. Kubanga buli alisigalawo mu nsi alirya muzigo na mubisi gwa njuki.
23 It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silver shekels, shall be for briers and thorns.
Era ng’olunaku lutuuse, buli kifo awaabanga emizabbibu, ng’olukumi lubalibwamu kilo kkumi n’emu n’ekitundu, kiriba kisigaddemu myeramannyo n’amaggwa.
24 People will go there with arrows and with bow, because all the land will be briers and thorns.
Abantu baligendayo na busaale na mitego, kubanga ensi yonna eriba efuuse myeramannyo na maggwa.
25 All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep."
N’ensozi zonna ze baalimanga n’enkumbi nga tezikyatuukikako olw’okutya emyeramannyo n’amaggwa, era kirifuuka ekifo ente n’endiga we byerundira.
