Isaiah 31
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek Yahweh!
Zibasanze abo abaserengeta e Misiri okuyambibwa, abeesiga embalaasi, abeesiga amagaali gaabwe amangi, abeesiga amaanyi amangi ag’abeebagala embalaasi ne batatunuulira Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri wadde okunoonya obuyambi bwa Mukama.
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
Kyokka Mukama mugezi era asobola okuleeta akabi; tajjulula bigambo bye. Aligolokokera ku nnyumba y’abatali batuukirivu, ne ku abo abayamba abakozi b’ebibi.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
Naye Abamisiri bantu buntu si Katonda n’embalaasi zaabwe mibiri bubiri. Katonda bw’agolola omukono gwe oyo ayamba, alyesittala, n’oyo ayambibwa aligwa era bombi balizikiririra wamu.
4 For Yahweh says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Ddala ddala bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama gye ndi nti, “Ng’empologoma bwe wuluguma, empologoma ey’amaanyi bwe wulugumira ku muyiggo gwayo era newaakubadde ng’ekibinja ky’abasumba kiyitibwa awamu okugirumba, tetiisibwatiisibwa kuwowogana kwabwe, newaakubadde oluyoogaano lwabwe. Bw’atyo ne Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’aliserengeta, okulwanira ku lusozi Sayuuni ne ku busozi bwa lwo.
5 As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
Ng’ebinyonyi bwe bibuukira waggulu, bw’atyo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’alisaanikira Yerusaalemi; alikikuuma, n’akiwonya, alikiyitamu n’akirokola.”
6 Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
Mudde eri oyo gwe mwajeemera ennyo, mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri.
7 For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
Mu biro ebyo buli omu ku mmwe alisuulira ddala wala ebitali Katonda ebya ffeeza ne zaabu, emikono gyo egitali mituukirivu gye byakola.
8 “The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
“Bwasuli kirigwa n’ekitala ekitali kya muntu; ekitala ekitali ky’abo abafa kirimusaanyaawo. Alidduka ekitala, n’abavubuka be balikozesebwa emirimu egy’amaanyi n’obuwaze.
9 His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Ekigo kyabwe kirigwa olw’okutya, n’abaduumizi baabwe balitekemuka omutima olw’okulaba ebbendera ey’olutalo,” bw’ayogera Mukama nannyini muliro oguli mu Sayuuni, era nannyini kikoomi ekiri mu Yerusaalemi.
