Isaiah 24
1 Here! Yahweh [is] about to lay waste the earth and [is] about to devastate it and he will twist surface its and he will scatter inhabitants its.
Laba Mukama alifuula ensi amatongo, agimalirewo ddala, era azikirize n’obwenyi bwayo era asaasaanye n’abagibeeramu.
2 And it will be as the people as the priest as the servant as master his as the maidservant as mistress her as the buyer as the seller as the lender as the borrower as the creditor as [the one] who a creditor [is] in him.
Bwe kityo bwe kiriba, ekiriba ku kabona kye kiriba ne ku bantu, ekiriba ku mwami kye kiriba ne ku muweereza omusajja, ekiriba ku mugole we kye kiriba ne ku muweereza we omukazi, ekiriba ku atunda kye kiriba ne ku muguzi, ekiriba ku awola kye kiriba ne ku yeewola, ekiriba ku abanja kye kiriba ne ku abanjibwa.
3 Certainly - it will be laid waste the earth and certainly - it will be plundered for Yahweh he has spoken the word this.
Okumalibwamu ensa, ensi erimalibwamu ddala ensa, n’okunyagibwa, erinyagibwa. Mukama Katonda y’akyogedde.
4 It has dried up it has withered the earth it has languished it has withered [the] world they have languished [the] noble[s] of [the] people of the earth.
Ensi ekala n’eggwaamu obulamu, ensi ekala n’ewuubaala, abantu ab’ekitiibwa baggwaamu amaanyi.
5 And the earth it has been polluted under inhabitants its for they have transgressed laws they have overstepped [the] decree they have broken [the] covenant of perpetuity.
Ensi eyonooneddwa abantu baayo, bajeemedde amateeka, bamenye ebiragiro, ne bamenyawo n’endagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.
6 There-fore a curse it has consumed [the] earth and they have been held guilty [the] inhabitants in it there-fore they have diminished [the] inhabitants of [the] earth and it will be left humankind of smallness.
Noolwekyo ekikolimo kimalawo ensi; n’abantu baayo bateekwa okusasula olw’omusango ogwabasinga. Abatuuze b’ensi bayidde, Era abatono be basigaddewo.
7 It has dried up new wine it has languished [the] vine they have groaned all [the people] joyful of heart.
Wayini omusu aggwaamu, n’omuzabbibu gukala, ab’amasanyu bonna bakaaba olw’obulumi.
8 It has ceased [the] gaiety of tambourines it has stopped [the] uproar of jubilant [people] it has ceased [the] gaiety of [the] harp.
Okujaguza kw’ebitaasa kusirise, n’oluyoogaano lw’abo ababeera mu masanyu lusirise, entongooli esanyusa esirise.
9 With song not people will drink wine it will be bitter strong drink to [those who] drink it.
Tebakyanywa nvinnyo nga bwe bayimba, n’omwenge gukaayira abagunywa.
10 It has been broken [the] town of formlessness it has been shut up every house from entering.
Ekibuga ekyazikirizibwa kisigadde nga matongo, na buli mulyango oguyingira mu nnyumba guzibiddwa.
11 An outcry on wine [will be] in the streets it has become evening all gladness it has departed [the] gaiety of the earth.
Bakaabira envinnyo mu nguudo, n’essanyu lyonna liweddewo, n’okujaguza kwonna tekukyaliwo mu nsi.
12 It has remained in the city desolation and ruin it will be crushed [the] gate.
Ekibuga kizikiridde wankaaki waakyo amenyeddwamenyeddwa.
13 For thus it will be in [the] midst of the earth in among the peoples like [the] beating of an olive tree like gleanings if it has come to an end [the] grape harvest.
Bwe kityo bwe kiriba ku nsi ne mu mawanga ng’omuzeyituuni bwe gunyeenyezebwa oba ng’ebinywa ebisigaddewo bwe bibeera oluvannyuma lw’okukungula kw’ezabbibu.
14 They they will lift up voice their they will shout for joy in [the] majesty of Yahweh they will cry aloud from [the] west.
Bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe, baleekaana olw’essanyu, batendereza ekitiibwa kya Mukama Katonda okuva mu bugwanjuba.
15 There-fore in the east glorify Yahweh in [the] islands of the sea [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
Noolwekyo abo abali mu buvanjuba mugulumize Mukama, mutendereze erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, mu bizinga eby’ennyanja.
16 From [the] extremity of the earth songs we have heard splendor [belongs] to the righteous [one] and I said leanness [belongs] to me leanness [belongs] to me woe! to me [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously and treachery [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously.
Tuwulira okuyimba okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi, “Ekitiibwa kibeere eri Omutuukirivu.” Naye ne njogera nti, “Nsanawo, nsanawo. Zinsaze. Ab’olukwe balya mu bannaabwe olukwe, Ab’enkwe bakozesa enkwe okulya mu bannaabwe olukwe.”
17 Dread and pit and snare [are] on you O inhabitant of the earth.
Entiisa n’obunnya n’omutego bibalindiridde, mmwe abantu b’ensi.
18 And it will be the [one who] flees from [the] sound of the dread he will fall into the pit and the [one who] goes up from [the] midst of the pit he will be caught in snare for windows from a high place they have been opened and they have shaken [the] foundations of [the] earth.
Buli alidduka eddoboozi ery’entiisa, aligwa mu kinnya, na buli alirinnya n’ava mu kinnya alikwatibwa mu mutego. Enzigi z’eggulu ziguddwawo, N’emisingi gy’ensi gikankana.
19 Utterly it has been broken the earth utterly it has been split through [the] earth certainly it has been shaken [the] earth.
Ensi emenyeddwamenyeddwa, ensi eyawuliddwamu, ensi ekankanira ddala.
20 Wildly it will stagger [the] earth like drunkard and it will sway like hut and it will be heavy on it transgression its and it will fall and not it will repeat to rise.
Ensi etagala ng’omutamiivu, eyuugayuuga ng’akasiisira bwe kayuugayuuga mu kibuyaga, omusango gwe gumulumiriza nnyo olw’obujeemu bwe, era ensi egwa n’etaddamu kuyimuka.
21 And it will be in the day that he will visit [judgment] Yahweh on [the] host of the height in the height[s] and on [the] kings of the earth on the earth.
Ku lunaku olwo Mukama Katonda alibonereza ab’amaanyi abali waggulu mu bwengula, ne bakabaka abali wansi ku nsi.
22 And they will be gathered a gathering prisoner[s] to a pit and they will be shut up at a prison and from an abundance of days they will be visited.
Balikuŋŋaanyirizibwa wamu ng’abasibe bwe bakuŋŋanyirizibwa mu kkomera, era baliweebwa ekibonerezo eky’okuggalirwa mu kkomera ennaku ennyingi.
23 And it will be abashed the moon and it will be ashamed the sun for he will reign Yahweh of hosts on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem and before elders his glory.
Omwezi gulitabulwatabulwa, n’enjuba eriswazibwa; Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alifugira mu kitiibwa ku Lusozi Sayuuni ne mu Yerusaalemi, ne mu maaso g’abakadde.
