Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
Zikusanze ggwe omuzikiriza ggwe atazikirizibwanga. Zikusanze ggwe alya olukwe mu balala, ggwe, gwe batalyangamu lukwe, bw’olirekaraawo okuzikiriza, olizikirizibwa. Bw’olirekeraawo okulya mu balala olukwe, balikulyamu olukwe.
2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
Ayi Mukama tusaasire, tukuyaayaanira. Obeere amaanyi gaffe buli makya, obulokozi bwaffe mu biro eby’okulabiramu ennaku.
3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.
Olw’eddoboozi ery’okubwatuka, abantu balidduka, bw’ogolokoka, amawanga gasaasaana.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon it.
Omunyago gwo, gukungulwa enzige ento, era abantu bagugwako ng’ekibinja ky’enzige.
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
Mukama agulumizibwe, kubanga atuula waggulu, alijjuza Sayuuni n’obwenkanya n’obutuukirivu.
6 And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
Y’aliba omusingi omugumu mu biro byo, nga lye tterekero eggagga ery’obulokozi, n’amagezi n’okumanya. Okutya Mukama kye kisumuluzo kye tterekero ly’obugagga obwo.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
Laba abasajja abazira ab’amaanyi bakaabira mu nguudo mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, n’ababaka ab’emirembe bakaaba nnyo.
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.
Enguudo ennene tezitambulirwako, tewali azitambulirako. Endagaano yamenyebwa, n’abajulizi baayo banyoomebwa, tewali assibwamu kitiibwa.
9 The land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves].
Ensi ekungubaga era eyongobera, Lebanooni aswadde era awotose; Saloni ali ng’eddungu, ng’asuula Basani ne Kalumeeri.
10 How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.
Mukama agamba nti, “Kaakano nnaagolokoka, kaakano nnaagulumizibwa, kaakano nnaayimusibwa waggulu.
11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
Ofuna olubuto olw’ebisusunku, ozaala ssubi, omukka gwo, muliro ogukusaanyaawo.
12 And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
Abantu balyokebwa nga layimu bw’ayokebwa, balyokebwa omuliro ng’ebisaka by’amaggwa amasale.”
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
Mmwe abali ewala, mutegeere kye nkoze. Mmwe abali okumpi, mukkirize amaanyi gange.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the godless ones. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Abakozi b’ebibi ab’omu Sayuuni batidde, okutya kujjidde abatalina Katonda. “Ani ku ffe ayinza okubeera awamu n’omuliro ogusaanyaawo? Ani ku ffe ayinza okubeera awamu n’omuliro ogutaliggwaawo?”
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil;
Atambulira mu butuukirivu, n’ayogera ebituufu, oyo atatwala magoba agava mu bubbi, n’akuuma emikono gye obutakkiriza nguzi, aziba amatu ge n’atawulira ntegeka za kutta, n’aziba amaaso ge obutalaba nteekateeka ezitali za butuukirivu,
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure.
ye muntu alituula waggulu mu bifo ebya waggulu, n’obuddukiro bwe buliba ebigo eby’omu nsozi. Aliweebwa emmere, n’amazzi tegalimuggwaako.
17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a far stretching land.
Amaaso go galiraba kabaka mu bulungi bwe, ne galaba ensi eyeewala.
18 Thine heart shall muse on the terror: where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers?
Omutima gwo gulifumiitiriza ku ntiisa ng’ogamba nti, “Omukungu omukulu ali ludda wa? Ali ludda wa eyasoloozanga omusolo? Omukungu avunaanyizibwa eminaala ali ludda wa?”
19 Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive; of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand.
Toliddayo kulaba bantu abo ab’amalala, abantu ab’olulimi olutamanyiddwa, olulimi olutategeerekeka.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
Tunuulira Sayuuni ekibuga eky’embaga zaffe, amaaso go galiraba Yerusaalemi, ekifo eky’emirembe, eweema etalisimbulwa enkondo zaayo tezirisimbulwa, newaakubadde emiguwa gyayo okukutulwa.
21 But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
Weewaawo Mukama aliba Amaanyi gaffe era aliba ekifo eky’emigga emigazi n’ensulo engazi. Temuliyitamu lyato newaakubadde ekyombo ekinene tekiriseeyeeyeramu.
22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
Kubanga Mukama ye mulamuzi waffe, Mukama y’atuwa amateeka, Mukama ye Kabaka waffe, y’alitulokola.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey.
Emiguwa gyo gisumulukuse n’omulongooti si munywevu, n’ettanga si lyanjuluze. Awo omugabo omungi guligabanyizibwamu, n’abalala balitwala eby’omunyago.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Tewali abeera mu Sayuuni alyogera nti, “Ndi mulwadde,” n’abo ababeeramu balisonyiyibwa ekibi kyabwe.
