Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Laba, Kabaka alifuga mu butuukirivu, n’abafuzi balifuga mu bwenkanya.
2 And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
Buli muntu aliba ng’ekifo eky’okwekwekamu empewo, ng’ekiddukiro okuva eri kibuyaga, ng’emigga gy’amazzi mu ddungu, ng’ekisiikirize eky’olwazi olunene mu nsi ey’ennyonta.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
Olwo amaaso gaabo abalaba tegaliziba, n’amatu g’abo abawulira galiwuliriza.
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Omutima gw’abatali bagumiikiriza gulimanya era gulitegeera, n’olulimi olw’abanaanaagira lulitereera ne boogera bulungi.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said [to be] bountiful.
Omusirusiru taliddayo kuyitibwa wa kitiibwa, newaakubadde omuntu omwonoonyi okuteekebwamu ekitiibwa.
6 For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry; and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Omusirusiru ayogera bya busirusiru, n’omutima gwe gwemalira ku kukola ebitali bya butuukirivu. Akola eby’obutatya Katonda, era ayogera bya bulimba ku Mukama, n’abayala abaleka tebalina kintu, n’abalumwa ennyonta abamma amazzi.
7 The instruments also of the churl [are] evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
Empisa z’omwonoonyi si za butuukirivu. Akola entegeka ezitali za butuukirivu, alyoke azikirize abaavu n’ebigambo eby’obulimba, ensonga y’abali mu kwetaaga ne bw’eba nga ntuufu.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
Naye omuntu ow’ekitiibwa akola entegeka za kitiibwa, era ku bikolwa bye eby’ekitiibwa kw’anywerera.
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear to my speech.
Mmwe abakazi abateefiirayo, mugolokoke muwulirize eddoboozi lyange; mmwe abawala abawulira nga muli wanywevu, muwulire bye ŋŋamba.
10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Mu mwaka gumu oba n’okusingawo, mmwe abawulira nga muli wanywevu, mulitya, amakungula g’emizabbibu galifa, n’amakungula g’ebibala tegalijja.
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip ye, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] loins.
Mutye mmwe abakazi abateefiirayo, mukankane mmwe abawala abawulira nga muli wanywevu. Muggyeko engoye zammwe, mwesibe ebibukutu mu biwato byammwe.
12 They shall lament for the breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Munakuwalire ennimiro ezaali zisanyusa, olw’emizabbibu egyabalanga,
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; also, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:
n’olw’ensi ey’abantu bange, ensi eyamerangamu amaggwa ne katazamiti. Weewaawo mukaabire ennyumba zonna ezaali ez’amasanyu, na kino ekibuga ekyali eky’amasanyu.
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Weewaawo ekigo kirirekebwawo, ekibuga ekirimu oluyoogaano kirifuuka kifulukwa. Ebigo n’eminaala birifuuka ebitagasa ennaku zonna, ekifo ekisanyusa endogoyi, eddundiro ly’ebisibo,
15 Until the spirit shall be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness shall be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be counted for a forest.
okutuusa Omwoyo lw’alitufukibwako okuva waggulu, n’eddungu ne lifuuka ennimiro engimu, n’ennimiro engimu n’erabika ng’ekibira.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
Obwenkanya bulituula mu ddungu, n’obutuukirivu bulibeera mu nnimiro engimu.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.
Ekibala ky’obutuukirivu kiriba mirembe, n’ekiriva mu butuukirivu kiriba kusiriikirira na bwesige emirembe gyonna.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places;
Abantu bange balibeera mu bifo eby’emirembe, mu maka amateefu mu bifo eby’okuwummuliramu ebitatawaanyizibwa.
19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
Omuzira ne bwe guligwa ne gukuba ekibira okukimalawo, n’ekibuga ne kiggirwawo ddala,
20 Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth [thither] the feet of the ox and the ass.
ggwe oliraba omukisa, ng’osiga ensigo y’oku migga gyonna, n’ente zo n’endogoyi zo ne zirya nga zeeyagala.
