Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt: "Look, YHWH rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
Obunnabbi obukwata ku Misiri: Laba, Mukama yeebagadde ku kire ekidduka ennyo ajja mu Misiri. Ne bakatonda b’e Misiri balijugumira mu maaso ge, n’emitima gy’Abamisiri girisaanuukira munda mu bo.
2 I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
Era ndiyimusa Abamisiri okulwana n’Abamisiri, balwane buli muntu ne muganda we, na buli muntu ne muliraanwa we; ekibuga n’ekibuga, obwakabaka n’obwakabaka.
3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst. I will destroy its counsel. They will seek the idols, spirits of the dead, mediums, and spiritists.
Abamisiri baliggwaamu omwoyo era entegeka zaabwe zonna ndizitta; era baliragulwa ebifaananyi ebibajje, n’abasamize, n’abaliko emizimu n’abalogo.
4 I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them," says YHWH of hosts.
Era ndigabula Abamisiri mu mukono gw’omufuzi omukambwe, era kabaka ow’entiisa alibafuga, bw’ayogera Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
5 The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
Omugga gulikalira n’entobo y’omugga ekale ejjemu enjatika.
6 The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.
N’emikutu giriwunya ekivundu, n’emyala egiyiwa mu mugga omunene nagyo gikale; ebitoogo n’essaalu nabyo biwotoke.
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
Ebimera ebiri ku Kiyira, ku lubalama lwa Kiyira kwennyini, ne byonna ebyasimbibwa ku Kiyira, birikala, birifuumuulibwa ne biggweerawo ddala.
8 The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.
Era n’abavubi balisinda ne bakungubaga, n’abo bonna abasuula amalobo mu Kiyira balijjula ennaku, abatega obutimba baliggweeramu ddala amaanyi.
9 Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.
Era nate n’abo abakozesa obugoogwa obusunsule balinafuwa, n’abo abaluka engoye enjeru mu linena nabo bakeŋŋentererwe.
10 The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.
Abakozi balikwatibwa ennaku, bonna abakolera empeera ne baggwaamu omwoyo.
11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, "I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?"
Abakulu ab’e Zowani basiruwalidde ddala, n’abagezigezi ba Falaawo bye boogera tebiriimu nsa. Mugamba mutya Falaawo nti, “Ndi mwana w’abagezi, omwana wa bassekabaka ab’edda”?
12 Where then are your sages? And let them tell you now; and let them know what YHWH of hosts has purposed concerning Egypt.
Kale nno abasajja bo ab’amagezi bali ludda wa? Leka bakubuulire bakutegeeze Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ky’ategese okutuusa ku Misiri.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
Abakungu ab’e Zowani basiriwadde, abakungu ab’e Noofu balimbiddwa, abo ababadde ejjinja ery’oku nsonda ery’ebika by’eggwanga bakyamizza Misiri.
14 YHWH has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
Mukama abataddemu omwoyo omubambaavu era baleetedde Misiri okutabukatabuka mu byonna by’ekola, ng’omutamiivu atagalira mu bisesemye bye.
15 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
Tewali mukulembeze newaakubadde afugibwa, agasa ennyo oba agasa ekitono mu Misiri alibaako ky’akola.
16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of YHWH of hosts, which he shakes over them.
Ku lunaku luli Abamisiri balibeera ng’abakazi. Balikankana n’entiisa olw’omukono gwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ogugoloddwa gye bali.
17 The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of YHWH of hosts, which he determines against it.
N’ensi ya Yuda erifuuka ntiisa eri Misiri, buli muntu anagibuulirwangako anatyanga, olw’okuteesa kwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye kw’ateesa ku yo.
18 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear loyalty to YHWH of hosts. One will be called the City of the Sun.
Ku lunaku olwo walibaawo ebibuga bitaano mu nsi y’e Misiri ebyogera olulimi lwa Kanani, era birirayira okwekwata ku Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye. Ekimu kiriyitibwa Ekibuga Ekyokuzikirira.
19 In that day, there will be an altar to YHWH in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to YHWH at its border.
Ku olwo waliteekebwawo ekyoto kya Mukama wakati mu nsi y’e Misiri, era n’ekijjukizo kya Mukama Katonda kiteekebwe ku nsalo.
20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to YHWH of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to YHWH because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
Kaliba kabonero era bujulizi eri Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye mu nsi y’e Misiri. Kubanga balikoowoola Mukama nga balumbiddwa, naye alibaweereza omulokozi, era abalwanirira, era alibalokola.
21 YHWH will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know YHWH in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will make vows to YHWH, and will perform them.
Noolwekyo Mukama alimanyibwa mu Misiri, n’Abamisiri balimanya Mukama era bamusinze ne ssaddaaka, n’ebirabo era balyeyama obweyamo eri Mukama ne babutuukiriza.
22 YHWH will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to YHWH, and he will listen to their pleas, and will heal them.
Era Mukama alibonereza Misiri, ng’akuba, ate ng’awonya. Nabo balidda gy’ali, balimwegayirira era alibawonya.
23 In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
Ku olwo walibaawo oluguudo olugazi oluva mu Misiri olugenda mu Bwasuli, n’Omwasuli alijja mu Misiri, n’Omumisiri n’agenda mu Bwasuli; n’Abamisiri balisinziza wamu n’Abaasuli.
24 In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
Ku olwo Isirayiri eriba yakusatu wamu ne Misiri n’Obwasuli, baliweesa ensi omukisa.
25 because YHWH of hosts has blessed them, saying, "Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance."
Kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye abawadde omukisa, ng’ayogera nti, “Baweebwe omukisa Misiri abantu bange, n’Obwasuli omulimu gw’emikono gyange, ne Isirayiri obusika bwange.”
