Isaaya 10
1 Nga zibasanze abo abateeka amateeka agatali ga bwenkanya, n’abo abawa ebiragiro ebinyigiriza,
Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
2 okulemesa abaavu ne batafuna nsala ebagwanidde; era n’okunyaga ku bantu bange abaavu ebyabwe, ne bafuula bannamwandu omunyago gwabwe, n’abatalina ba kitaabwe omuyiggo gwabwe!
To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 Mulikola mutya ku lunaku Mukama lwalisalirako omusango ne mu kuzikirira okuliva ewala? Muliddukira w’ani alibayamba? Obugagga bwammwe mulibuleka wa?
And what will ye do in the day of punishment, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 Muliba temusigazza kya kukola kirala wabula okutwalibwa nga mukutaamiridde mu busibe oba okuba mu abo abattiddwa. Naye wadde nga biri bityo, obusungu bwe buliba tebunnaggwaawo, era n’omukono gwe guliba gukyagoloddwa.
Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 “Zikusanze Bwasuli, omuggo gw’obusungu bwange, era omuggo gw’ekiruyi kyange.
O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.
6 Mmutuma okulumba eggwanga eritatya Mukama, era mmusindika eri abantu abansunguwazizza, abanyage, ababbire ddala, n’okubasambirira abasambirire ng’ebitoomi eby’omu nguudo.
I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I command him, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Naye kino si kye kigendererwa kye, kino si ky’alowooza. Ekigendererwa kye kwe kuzikiriza, okumalirawo ddala amawanga mangi.
Yet he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
8 ‘Abaduumizi bange bonna tebenkana bakabaka?’ bw’atyo bw’ayogera.
For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 ‘Kalino tetwakizikiriza nga Kalukemisi, ne Kamasi nga Alupaadi, ne Samaliya nga Ddamasiko?
Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Ng’omukono gwange bwe gwawamba obwakabaka obusinza bakatonda ababajje, abasinga n’abo ab’omu Yerusaalemi ne Samaliya,
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images excelled them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 nga bwe nakola Samaliya ne bakatonda baabwe abalala si bwe nnaakola Yerusaalemi ne bakatonda baabwe ababajje?’”
Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 Mukama bw’alimaliriza omulimu gwe ku lusozi Sayuuni era ne ku Yerusaalemi n’alyoka abonereza kabaka w’e Bwasuli olw’okwewaana n’okuduula kwe n’entunula ye ey’amalala.
Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
13 Kubanga yayogera nti, “‘Bino byonna mbikoze olw’amaanyi g’omukono gwange, era n’olw’amagezi gange, kubanga ndi mukalabakalaba: Najjulula ensalo z’amawanga ne nnyaga obugagga bwabwe, ng’ow’amaanyi omuzira ne nzikakkanya bakabaka baabwe.
For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
14 Ng’omuntu bw’akwata mu kisu, omukono gwange gw’akunuukiriza ne gukwata mu bugagga bw’amawanga; ng’abantu bwe balondalonda amagi agalekeddwawo, bwe ntyo bwe nakuŋŋaanya amawanga gonna, tewali na limu lyayanjuluza ku kiwaawaatiro, newaakubadde eryayasamya akamwa kaalyo okukaaba.’”
And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
15 Embazzi eyinza okweyita ey’ekitalo okusinga oyo agitemesa? Omusumeeno gulyekuza okusinga oyo agusazisa? Gy’obeera nti oluga luyinza okuwuuba omuntu alukozesa, oba omuggo okusitula oyo atali muti.
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it, or as if the staff should lift itself, as if it were no wood.
16 Noolwekyo Mukama, Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna, kyaliva aweereza obukovvu bulye abasajja be abaagejja, era wansi w’okujaganya n’ekitiibwa kye akoleeze wo omuliro ogwokya ng’oluyiira.
Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
17 Ekitangaala kya Isirayiri kirifuuka omuliro, n’Omutukuvu waabwe abeere olulimi lw’omuliro, mu lunaku lumu kyokye kimalirewo ddala amaggwa ge n’emyeramannyo gye.
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
18 Era kiryokya ne kimalirawo ddala ekitiibwa ky’ebibira bye, n’ennimiro ze, engimu, ng’omusajja omulwadde bwaggweerawo ddala.
And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
19 N’emiti egy’omu kibira kye egirisigalawo giriba mitono nnyo nga n’omwana ayinza okugibala.
And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
20 Awo olulituuka ku lunaku olwo, abaliba bafisseewo ku Isirayiri, n’abo abaliba bawonye ku nnyumba ya Yakobo nga tebakyeyinulira ku oyo eyabakuba naye nga beesigama ku Mukama Katonda, omutukuvu wa Isirayiri mu mazima.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them; but shall lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Ekitundu ekirifikkawo kirikomawo, ekitundu kya Yakobo kirikomawo eri Katonda ow’amaanyi.
The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
22 Kubanga wadde abantu bo bangi ng’omusenyu gw’ennyanja, abalikomawo nga balamu baliba batono. Okuzikirira kwo kwa kubaawo kubanga kusaanidde.
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the full end decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
23 Kubanga Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alireeta enkomerero eteriiko kubuusabuusa nga bwe yateekateeka entuuko mu nsi yonna.
For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a full end, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
24 Noolwekyo Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye kyava ayogera nti, “Mmwe abantu bange ababeera mu Sayuuni, temutyanga Abasuli, newaakubadde nga babakuba n’oluga era nga babagololera omuggo nga Abamisiri bwe baakola.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 Kubanga mu kaseera katono nnyo obusungu bwange gy’oli bujja kukoma era ekiruyi kyange kiribazikiriza.”
For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in their destruction.
26 Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alibakuba n’akaswanyu nga bwe yakuba aba Midiyaani ku lwazi lw’e Olebu. Era aligololera oluga lwe ku nnyanja nga bwe yakola e Misiri.
And the LORD of hosts shall raise up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 Ku lunaku olwo, omugugu gwe guliggyibwa ku bibegabega byo, n’ekikoligo kye kive ku nsingo yo; ekikoligo kirimenyebwa olw’obugevvu bwo.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
28 Laba eggye ly’omulabe lituuse liwambye Yagasi, liyise mu Migulooni, era mu Mikumasi gye balireka emigugu gyabwe.
He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath attended to his carriages:
29 Bayise awavvuunukirwa, e Geba ne basulayo ekiro kimu, Laama akankana, Gibea wa Sawulo adduse.
They have gone over the pass: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul hath fled.
30 Kaaba n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ggwe omuwala wa Galimu! Ggwe Layisa wuliriza! Ng’olabye Anasosi!
Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.
31 Madumena adduse, abantu b’e Gebimu beekukumye.
Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 Olwa leero bajja kusibira Nobu, balyolekeza ekikonde kyabwe eri olusozi lwa Muwala wa Sayuuni, akasozi ka Yerusaalemi.
As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Laba, Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, alitema amatabi n’entiisa n’emiti emiwanvu n’emiwagguufu giritemerwa ddala, n’emiti emiwanvu girikkakkanyizibwa.
Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 Era alitemera ddala n’embazzi ebisaka by’omu kibira; Lebanooni aligwa mu maaso g’oyo Ayinzabyonna.
And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
