Isaiah 31
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and stay on horses; and trust in chariots, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Zibasanze abo abaserengeta e Misiri okuyambibwa, abeesiga embalaasi, abeesiga amagaali gaabwe amangi, abeesiga amaanyi amangi ag’abeebagala embalaasi ne batatunuulira Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri wadde okunoonya obuyambi bwa Mukama.
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
Kyokka Mukama mugezi era asobola okuleeta akabi; tajjulula bigambo bye. Aligolokokera ku nnyumba y’abatali batuukirivu, ne ku abo abayamba abakozi b’ebibi.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is holpen shall fall, and they all shall fail together.
Naye Abamisiri bantu buntu si Katonda n’embalaasi zaabwe mibiri bubiri. Katonda bw’agolola omukono gwe oyo ayamba, alyesittala, n’oyo ayambibwa aligwa era bombi balizikiririra wamu.
4 For thus saith the LORD unto me, Like as when the lion growleth and the young lion over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him, he will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.
Ddala ddala bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama gye ndi nti, “Ng’empologoma bwe wuluguma, empologoma ey’amaanyi bwe wulugumira ku muyiggo gwayo era newaakubadde ng’ekibinja ky’abasumba kiyitibwa awamu okugirumba, tetiisibwatiisibwa kuwowogana kwabwe, newaakubadde oluyoogaano lwabwe. Bw’atyo ne Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’aliserengeta, okulwanira ku lusozi Sayuuni ne ku busozi bwa lwo.
5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver [it], he will pass over and preserve [it].
Ng’ebinyonyi bwe bibuukira waggulu, bw’atyo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’alisaanikira Yerusaalemi; alikikuuma, n’akiwonya, alikiyitamu n’akirokola.”
6 Turn ye unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
Mudde eri oyo gwe mwajeemera ennyo, mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri.
7 For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
Mu biro ebyo buli omu ku mmwe alisuulira ddala wala ebitali Katonda ebya ffeeza ne zaabu, emikono gyo egitali mituukirivu gye byakola.
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of men, shall devour him: and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary.
“Bwasuli kirigwa n’ekitala ekitali kya muntu; ekitala ekitali ky’abo abafa kirimusaanyaawo. Alidduka ekitala, n’abavubuka be balikozesebwa emirimu egy’amaanyi n’obuwaze.
9 And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror, and his princes shall be dismayed at the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Ekigo kyabwe kirigwa olw’okutya, n’abaduumizi baabwe balitekemuka omutima olw’okulaba ebbendera ey’olutalo,” bw’ayogera Mukama nannyini muliro oguli mu Sayuuni, era nannyini kikoomi ekiri mu Yerusaalemi.
