Isaiah 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not from me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
“Zibasanze abaana abajeemu, Abakola enteekateeka ezitali zange ne bazituukiriza ne batta omukago awatali Mwoyo wange ne bongera ekibi ku kibi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shade of Egypt!
“Baserengeta e Misiri nga tebanneebuuzizzaako, ne banoonya obuyambi ewa Falaawo, n’okuva eri ekisiikirize kya Misiri okuba obuddukiro.
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shade of Egypt [your] confusion.
Naye obukuumi bwa Falaawo buliswazibwa, n’ekisiikirize kya Misiri kirikuswaza.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his embassadors came to Hanes.
Newaakubadde nga balina abakungu mu Zowani n’ababaka baabwe batuuse e Kanesi,
5 They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not profit them, nor be a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
buli muntu aliswazibwa olw’eggwanga eritabagasa, abataleeta buyambi newaakubadde okuba ab’omugaso, okuggyako ensonyi n’ekivume,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence [come] the young and the old lion, the viper and flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people [that] shall not profit [them].
Obunnabbi obukwata ku nsolo za Negevu bwe buno: Ababaka bayita mu nsi nga balaba ennaku ne batawaanyizibwa mu nsi erimu empologoma ensajja n’enkazi, erimu essalambwa n’omusota ogw’obusagwa nga batadde eby’obugagga byabwe ku ndogoyi, n’ebintu byabwe eby’omuwendo ku mabango g’eŋŋamira nga boolekedde ensi etaliimu magoba.
7 For the Egyptian shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [is] to sit still.
Bagenda e Misiri, eterina kyeyinza kubayamba n’akatono. Kyenva muyita Lakabu ataliiko kyayinza kukola.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
Genda kaakano, okibawandiikire ku kipande, okiwandiike ku mizingo, kibabeererenga obujulizi obw’emirembe n’emirembe mu nnaku ezigenda okujja.
9 That this [is] a rebellious people, lying children, children [that] will not hear the law of the LORD:
Weewaawo bano bantu bajeemu, baana balimba, baana abateetegese kuwulira biragiro bya Mukama.
10 Who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Bagamba abalabi nti, “Temuddayo kufuna kwolesebwa,” N’eri bannabbi boogera nti, “Temuddayo kututegeeza kwolesebwa kutuufu. Mututegeeze ebitusanyusa, mulagule ebituwabya.
11 Withdraw from the way, turn aside from the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
Muve mu kkubo lino, mukyame muve ku luguudo luno, mulekeraawo okututegeeza ku Mutukuvu wa Isirayiri.”
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean upon it:
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri nti, “Olw’okugaana obubaka buno, ne mwesiga okunyigirizibwa, ne mwesiga omulimba,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
ekibi kino kyekiriva kikufuukira bbugwe omuwanvu, alimu enjatika era azimbye, okutemya n’okuzibula ng’agudde.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potter's vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a piece to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the pit.
Alimenyekamenyeka mu bitundutundu ng’ensumbi eyakolebwa mu bbumba, n’asaasaanyizibwa awatali kusaasira, era tewaliba luggyo ku byamenyekamenyeka olulirabika okusobola okuyoozesa omuliro mu kyoto, oba okusenyesa amazzi mu kinnya.”
15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
Weewaawo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri nti, “Mu kwenenya ne mu kuwummula mwe muli obulokozi bwammwe, mu kusiriikirira ne mu kwesiga mwe muli amaanyi gammwe, naye temufuddeeyo.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Wayogera nti, ‘Nedda tuliddukira ku mbalaasi.’ Kyoliva odduka. Wayogera nti, ‘Tuliddukira ku mbalaasi ezidduka ennyo.’ Ababagoba kyebaliva bawenyuka emisinde.
17 One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
Abantu olukumi balidduka olw’okutiisibwatiisibwa kw’omuntu omu; Olw’okutiisibwatiisibwa kw’abataano, olidduka, Okutuusa lw’olisigala ng’omulongooti okuwanikibwa bbendera oguli ku ntikko y’olusozi, ng’ebendera eri ku kasozi.”
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious to you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait for him.
Songa Mukama ayagala nnyo okuba ow’ekisa gy’oli; era agolokoka okukulaga okusaasira. Kubanga Mukama Katonda wa bwenkanya, balina omukisa bonna abamulindirira.
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
Mmwe abantu ba Sayuuni ababeera mu Yerusaalemi, temuliddayo kukaaba. Alikukwatirwa ekisa bw’olimukaabira ng’omusaba akuyambe. Amangwago ng’awulidde, alikwanukula.
20 And [though] the LORD shall give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers:
Newaakubadde nga Mukama akuwa omugaati ogw’okulaba ennaku, n’amazzi ag’okubonaabona, abasomesa bo tebaliddamu kukwekebwa, era olibalaba n’amaaso go.
21 And thy ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Bw’olidda ku mukono ogwa ddyo oba ku gwa kkono, amatu go galiwulira eddoboozi emabega wo nga ligamba nti, “Lino ly’ekkubo, litambuliremu.”
22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a polluted cloth; thou shalt say to it, Be gone from me.
Olwo olyonoonayonoona ebintu ebyakolebwa n’emikono ebiriko ffeeza, n’ebifaananyi byo ebyabikkibwako zaabu, era olibisuula nga bw’osuula ekiwero ekikozesebwa mu nsonga za bakyala era olibigamba nti, “Muveewo.”
23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
Alibaweereza n’enkuba olw’ensigo z’osiga mu ttaka, n’emmere eva mu ttaka eggimu nga nnyingi. Mu biro ebyo ente zo ziririira mu ddundiro eggazi.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that plow the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
Ente n’endogoyi ezirima ettaka zirirya omuddo ogwaterekebwa n’emmere ensotte, eyawewebwa n’ekitiiyo eky’amannyo.
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers [and] streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Mu biro eby’okuttibwa okunene, emirongooti bwe girigwa, emigga gy’amazzi girikulukuta ku buli lusozi oluwanvu na ku buli kasozi akagulumivu.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be seven-fold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Omwezi gulyaka ng’enjuba, n’omusana gulyaka emirundi musanvu okusinga ogwa bulijjo, ng’ekitangaala ky’ennaku omusanvu zonna awamu, Mukama bw’alinyiga ekinuubule ky’abantu be, n’awonya ekiwundu ky’abaakosebwa.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning [with] his anger, and the burden [of it is] heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
Laba, erinnya lya Mukama liva wala n’obusungu obubuubuuka n’omukka ogukutte ng’ekire; emimwa gye gijjudde ekiruyi, n’olulimi lwe muliro ogusaanyaawo.
28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and [there shall be] a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing [them] to err.
Omukka gwe guli ng’omugga gw’amazzi agakulukuta n’amaanyi, agabimba okutuuka mu bulago. Anyeenyanyeenya amawanga mu kakuŋŋunta ak’okuzikirizibwa era mu mba z’abantu ateekamu eddobo ery’okubawabya.
29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night, [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come upon the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
Oluyimba luliba ng’olwo lwoyimba mu kiro ng’ojaguza ku mbaga entukuvu; omutima gwo gulijaguza ng’abantu bwe bajaguza nga bafuuwa endere ku lusozi lwa Mukama, ku lwazi lwa Isirayiri.
30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and [with] the flame of a devouring fire, [with] scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
Mukama aliyamba abantu okuwulira eddoboozi lye ery’ekitiibwa, alibaleetera okulaba omukono gwe nga gukka mu busungu obungi ennyo ne mu muliro ogusaanyaawo, ne mu bire ebibwatuka, ne mu muzira.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, [who] smote with a rod.
Weewaawo eddoboozi lya Mukama lirisesebbula Bwasuli, alibakuba n’omuggo gwe ogw’obwakabaka.
32 And [in] every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
Buli muggo Mukama gw’anakukubanga n’oluga lwe olubonereza, guliba ng’ebivuga by’ebitaasa n’entongooli, ng’abalwanyisa n’omukono gwe mu ntalo.
33 For Tophet [is] ordained of old; yes, for the king it is prepared; he hath made [it] deep [and] large: the pile of it [is] fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
Weewaawo Tofesi amaze ebbanga ddene nga yeeteekateeka; ky’ateekebwateekebwa kabaka. Ekinnya kyakyo eky’omuliro kiwanvu era kigazi, kijjudde omuliro n’enku; omukka gwa Mukama gugukoleeza ng’omugga gwa salufa.
