Isaiah 22
1 The oracle on the valley of vision, —What aileth thee, then, That thou art wholly gone up to the house-tops?
Obunnabbi obukwata ku Kiwonvu ky’Okwolesebwa: Kiki ekikutawanya kaakano, n’okulinnya n’olinnya waggulu ku busolya,
2 With tumults, art thou filled, thou citadel in commotion! city exultant! Thy slain, are Not the slain, of the sword, Nor the dead in battle.
ggwe ekibuga ekijjudde oluyoogaano, ggwe ekibuga eky’amasanyu era eky’ebinyumu? Abantu bo abattibwa, tebaafa kitala newaakubadde okufiira mu lutalo.
3 All thy ruler, having fled, together, by the bow, are taken captive: All found in thee have been taken captive, together, Far away, have they fled.
Abakulembeze bo bonna baddukidde wamu; bawambiddwa awatali kulwana. Bonna baakwatibwa ne batwalibwa wamu nga basibe, kubanga badduka.
4 For this cause, I said—Look away from me, Bitterly, will I weep, —Do not press to comfort me, For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
Kyenava njogera nti, “Munveeko, mundeke nkaabire ddala nnyo. Temugezaako kunsaasira olw’okuzikirizibwa kw’omuwala w’abantu bange.”
5 For a day of confusion and downtreading and perplexity, pertaineth to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the valley of vision, an undermining of walls, and a crying for help to the mountain.
Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alina olunaku olw’akatabanguko, olw’okulinyirirwa n’entiisa mu Kiwonvu ky’Okwolesebwa; olunaku olw’okumenya bbugwe, n’okukaabirira ensozi.
6 Yea, Elam, beareth the quiver, With trains of men, [and] horsemen, —And, Kir, hath uncovered the shield.
Eramu ayambalidde omufuko gw’obusaale, n’atwala n’abavuzi b’amagaali ge n’embalaasi, Kiri asabuukulula engabo.
7 And it hath come to pass that the choice of thy vales, are full of chariots; Yea, the horsemen, have set themselves, in array, at the gate.
Ebiwonvu byo ebisinga obulungi bijjudde amagaali, n’abeebagala embalaasi bassibbwa ku wankaaki.
8 Then removed he the veil of Judah, —Yea thou didst peer on that day, into the armoury of the forest-house;
Okwerinda kwa Yuda kuggyiddwawo. Ku lunaku olwo watunuulira ebyokulwanyisa eby’omu Lubiri olw’Ekibira.
9 And the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld for they were many, —So ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
Walaba amabanga agaali mu kwerinda kw’Ekibuga kya Dawudi, wakuŋŋaanya amazzi mu Kidiba eky’Emmanga.
10 And the houses of Jerusalem, ye counted, —And brake down the houses, to fortify the wall;
Wabala ebizimbe mu Yerusaalemi n’omenya amayumba okusobola okunyweza bbugwe.
11 And a reservoir, ye made between the two walls, for the waters of the ancient pool, —And had no regard unto him that made it, Nor unto him that formed it long ago, had ye respect.
Wasima ekidiba omuterekebwa amazzi wakati w’ebisenge ebibiri, n’okuŋŋaanya ag’ekidiba ekikadde, naye tewatunuulira Oyo eyakisima, wadde okussaamu ekitiibwa Oyo eyakiteekateeka mu biro eby’edda.
12 And, when My Lord Yahweh of hosts called in that day, —for weeping, and for lamentation, and for shaving bare and for girding with sackcloth,
Ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye yalangirira okukaaba n’okukuba ebiwoobe, n’okwemwako enviiri n’okwambala ebibukutu.
13 Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, —Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow, we may die!
Naye laba, ssanyu na kujaguza, okubaaga ente n’okutta endiga, okulya ennyama n’okunywa envinnyo. Mwogere nti, “Leka tulye, era tunywe kubanga enkya tunaafa.”
14 Therefore did Yahweh reveal himself in mine ears. Surely there shall be no propitiatory-covering put over this iniquity for you until ye die, Saith My Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Mukama ow’Eggye akimbikulidde n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ekibi kino tekirisonyiyibwa wadde okuggyibwawo okutuusa lw’olifa,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
15 Thus, said My Lord Yahweh, of hosts, Come go in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who is over the house:
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Genda eri omuwanika oyo, eri Sabuna avunaanyizibwa olubiri omugambe nti,
16 What doest thou here? And whom hast thou here? That thou hast hewn for thyself here a sepulchre, —As one hewing on high his sepulchre, Cutting out in the cliff a habitation for himself?
Okola ki wano era ani yakuwadde olukusa okwetemera entaana wano, n’otema n’amaanyi entaana yo waggulu mu lwazi, ne weerongoosereza eyo ekifo eky’okuwummuliramu?
17 Lo! Yahweh, is about to hurl thee, with a hurl, O mighty man, —And roll thee with a roll;
“Weegendereze Mukama Katonda anaatera okukuvumbagira, akuggyewo ggwe omusajja ow’amaanyi.
18 He will, toss, thee, with a toss, like a ball, into a country wide on both hands, —There, shalt thou die, And there shall thy glorious chariots be the contempt of the house of thy lord.
Alikuzingazingako, n’akukanyuga mu nsi engazi, nga bwe yandikanyuze omupiira ogusambwa. Eyo gy’olifiira, era eyo amagaali go ag’ekitiibwa gye galisigala, ggwe ensonyi ez’ennyumba ya Mukama wo.
19 Thus will I thrust thee out from thine office, —And from thy station, shall one tear thee down.
Ndikuggya ku ntebe yo, era oliggyibwa mu kifo kyo.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, That I will call for my servant, for Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
“Mu biro ebyo nditumya omuweereza wange Eriyakimu mutabani wa Kirukiya.
21 And will clothe him with thy tunic And with thy girdle, will I gird him, And thine authority, will I deliver into his hand, —So shall he become a father To the inhabitant of Jerusalem and To the house of Judah.
Ndimwambaza ekyambalo kyo, ne munyweza n’olukoba lwo, ne mukwasa obuyinza bwo. Aliba kitaawe w’abo ababeera mu Yerusaalemi, n’eri ennyumba ya Yuda.
22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, —And he shall open and none shall shut, And shut and none shall open;
Ndimukwasa ekisumuluzo ky’ennyumba ya Dawudi; bw’aliggulawo tewaliba aggalawo, bw’aliggalawo tewaliba aggulawo.
23 And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, —And he shall become a throne of glory, to the house of his father;
Ndimunyweza mu kifo ng’enkondo ennene, era aliba ntebe ya kitiibwa eri ennyumba ya kitaawe.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the weight of his father’s house—The offshoots and the side-twigs—All the small vessels, Both the cups and all the jugs
Ekitiibwa ky’ennyumba ye kiribeera ku nnyumba ye, ne ku zadde lye ne ku nda ye yonna, ne ku bintu bye ebinywerwamu, okuva ku bibya okutuuka ku nsumbi.”
25 In that day, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts Shall the peg, give way, that was fastened in a sure place, —Yea it shall be cut off and fall And the burden that was upon it shall perish, For, Yahweh, hath spoken!
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Ku lunaku olwo, enkondo ennene eyakomererwa mu kifo n’enywera erisalibwa, n’eneguka, n’egwa, n’omugugu gw’ekutte gulisarwako.” Mukama ayogedde.
