Isaiah 11
1 [Like] [MET] a [new] shoot [often] grows from the stump [of a tree], there will be a descendant of King David who will be a new king.
Ensibuka erimera ng’eva ku kikonge kya Yese, ne ku mirandira kulivaako omuti, ne ku muti kulivaako Ettabi eriribala ekibala.
2 The Spirit of Yahweh will always be with him. The Spirit will enable him to be wise and to understand [much about many things]. The Spirit will enable him to decide what is good to do, and will enable him to be very powerful. The Spirit will enable him to know Yahweh and to revere him.
Mwoyo wa Mukama alibeera ku ye, Mwoyo ow’amagezi n’okutegeera ne Mwoyo w’okusala ensonga, n’ow’amaanyi ne Mwoyo w’okumanya era n’okutya Mukama Katonda.
3 He will be glad to obey Yahweh. He will not decide [whether someone is righteous or not only] by seeing what that person looks like, or by listening to [what others say about that person].
Era n’essanyu lye liribeera mu kutya Mukama Katonda. Taasalenga misango ng’asinziira ku maaso ge gokka nga bwe galaba, oba okusalawo ng’asinziira ku byawulira n’amatu ge byokka,
4 He will judge [the cases of] needy people fairly; and he will act justly toward poor people. He will punish evil people as a result of what he decides [MTY]; he will get rid of wicked people because of [MTY] [their behavior].
naye anaasaliranga abaavu emisango mu bwenkanya, era asalire mu bwenkanya abo abawombeefu ab’omu nsi; era alikuba ensi n’omuggo ogw’omu kamwa ke, era alitta omukozi w’ebibi n’omukka ogw’omu kamwa ke.
5 He will always act righteously; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a belt [around his waist]. He will always speak what is true; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a sash [around his waist].
Obutuukirivu, bwe buliba olukoba lwe yeesibya, n’obwesigwa, bw’alyesiba mu kiwato kye.
6 [When he becomes king], wolves and lambs will live together [peacefully]; leopards, [instead of killing] baby goats, will lie down with them. [Similarly], calves and lions will eat food together; and a young child will take care of them.
Omusege gulisulanga wamu n’omwana gw’endiga, n’engo egalamire wamu n’omwana gw’embuzi; era ennyana n’empologoma n’ennyana eya ssava binaagalamiranga wamu; era omwana omuto yalizirabirira.
7 Cows and bears will eat [together]; bear cubs and calves will lie down together. Lions will [not eat other animals]; [instead], they will eat hay like cows do.
Ente n’eddubu biririira wamu, abaana baazo banaagalamiranga wamu. Empologoma erirya omuddo ng’ente.
8 Babies will play [safely] near the holes where cobra snakes [live]; small children will [even] put their hands into nests of poisonous snakes, [and the snakes will not harm them].
N’omwana ayonka alizannyira ku kinnya ky’enswera, n’omwana omuto aliteeka omukono gwe mu kinnya ky’essalambwa.
9 No creatures will harm or kill other creatures on [Zion Hill], my holy hill; and the earth will [be filled with people who] know Yahweh like [SIM] the seas are full of water.
Tewalibeera kukolaganako bulabe wadde okuttiŋŋana ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu. Kubanga ensi eribeera ejjudde okumanya Mukama Katonda, ng’amazzi bwe gajjuza ennyanja.
10 At that time, a descendant of King David will [hold up] a flag to signal to the people of all people-groups [that they should gather around him]; they will come to him to get his advice, and the place where he lives will be glorious.
Awo ku lunaku luli, muzzukulu wa Yese aliyimirira ng’ebendera eri amawanga. Oyo amawanga gwe ganaanoonyanga, n’ekifo kye eky’okuwummuliramu, kiribeera kya kitiibwa.
11 At that time, Yahweh will (reach out his hand/use his power) as he did long ago; he will enable those who had been (exiled from/forced to leave) Israel to return home, from Assyria, from northern Egypt, from southern Egypt, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath, and from all the distant countries near the sea.
Era ku lunaku olwo Mukama aligolola omukono gwe omulundi ogwokubiri okununula abasigalawo ku bantu be, okubaggya mu Bwasuli ne mu Misiri ne mu Pasuloosi ne mu Kuusi ne mu Eramu ne mu Sinaali ne mu Kamasi ne mu bizinga eby’omu nnyanja.
12 Yahweh will raise his flag among [all] the people-groups, and he will gather together the people of Israel who had been exiled [long ago]. He will gather from very distant places [IDM] on the earth the people of Judah who [(had been scattered to/are living in) those places].
Era aliwanikira amawanga bbendera, akuŋŋaanye abawaŋŋanguse ba Isirayiri; aleete wamu abantu ba Yuda abaali basaasaanye mu nsonda ennya ez’ensi.
13 [Then], the people of Israel and the people of Judah will not be jealous of each other [any longer], and they will no [longer] be enemies of each other.
Olwo obuggya bwa Efulayimu bulyoke buggweewo, n’abo abateganya Yuda balizikirizibwa. Efulayimu talikwatirwa Yuda buggya wadde Yuda okubeera omulabe wa Efulayimu.
14 Their [armies] will [join together to] attack the people of Philistia to the west. And together they will attack nations to the east; they will [defeat those nations and] take away all their valuable possessions. They will capture [the areas of] Edom and Moab, and the people of the Ammon people-group will be controlled/ruled by the people of Israel and Judah.
Bombi awamu balirumba ne bamalawo Abafirisuuti mu busozi bw’ebugwanjuba; era bombiriri balinyaga abantu b’omu buvanjuba. Baligolola omukono gwabwe ku Edomu ne Mowaabu; n’abaana ba Amoni balibagondera.
15 Yahweh will make a dry road through the sea near Egypt. And [it will be as though] he will wave his hand over the [Euphrates] River and send a strong wind to cause it to divide into seven streams, with the result that people will be able to walk across [those streams].
Era Mukama Katonda alikaliza omukutu gw’ennyanja y’Abamisiri; era aliwujira omukono gwe ku mugga Fulaati ne guleetawo omuyaga ogukaza, agwawulemu ebitundu musanvu abantu bye banaasomokanga ku bigere.
16 And because he will make a highway for his people who are living in Assyria, they will be able to return [to their own land], just like [long ago] he made a path for [the people of] Israel [so that they could go through the water] when they left Egypt.
Era abo abalisigalawo ku bantu be balibeera n’ekkubo ery’okuyitamu ery’eggwanga eryasigala ku Bwasuli nga bwe kyali eri Isirayiri ku lunaku lwe baaviirako mu Misiri.
