Isaaya 11
1 Ensibuka erimera ng’eva ku kikonge kya Yese, ne ku mirandira kulivaako omuti, ne ku muti kulivaako Ettabi eriribala ekibala.
And a rod will go forth from the root of Jesse, and a flower will ascend from his root.
2 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.
And the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and fortitude, the spirit of knowledge and piety.
3 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,
And he will be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord. He will not judge according to the sight of the eyes, nor reprove according to the hearing of the ears.
4 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.
Instead, he will judge the poor with justice, and he will reprove the meek of the earth with fairness. And he will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and he will slay the impious with the spirit of his lips.
5 Obutuukirivu, bwe buliba olukoba lwe yeesibya, n’obwesigwa, bw’alyesiba mu kiwato kye.
And justice will be the belt around his waist. And faith will be the warrior’s belt at his side.
6 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.
The wolf will dwell with the lamb; and the leopard will lie down with the kid; the calf and the lion and the sheep will abide together; and a little boy will drive them.
7 Ente n’eddubu biririira wamu, abaana baazo banaagalamiranga wamu. Empologoma erirya omuddo ng’ente.
The calf and the bear will feed together; their young ones will rest together. And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 N’omwana ayonka alizannyira ku kinnya ky’enswera, n’omwana omuto aliteeka omukono gwe mu kinnya ky’essalambwa.
And a breastfeeding infant will play above the lair of the asp. And a child who has been weaned will thrust his hand into the den of the king snake.
9 Tewalibeera kukolaganako bulabe wadde okuttiŋŋana ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu. Kubanga ensi eribeera ejjudde okumanya Mukama Katonda, ng’amazzi bwe gajjuza ennyanja.
They will not harm, and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain. For the earth has been filled with the knowledge of the Lord, like the waters covering the sea.
10 Awo ku lunaku luli, muzzukulu wa Yese aliyimirira ng’ebendera eri amawanga. Oyo amawanga gwe ganaanoonyanga, n’ekifo kye eky’okuwummuliramu, kiribeera kya kitiibwa.
In that day, the root of Jesse, who stands as a sign among the people, the same the Gentiles shall beseech, and his sepulcher will be glorious.
11 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.
And this shall be in that day: the Lord will send forth his hand a second time to take possession of the remnant of his people who will be left behind: from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 Era aliwanikira amawanga bbendera, akuŋŋaanye abawaŋŋanguse ba Isirayiri; aleete wamu abantu ba Yuda abaali basaasaanye mu nsonda ennya ez’ensi.
And he will lift up a sign to the nations, and he will gather together the fugitives of Israel, and he will collect the dispersed of Judah from the four regions of the earth.
13 Olwo obuggya bwa Efulayimu bulyoke buggweewo, n’abo abateganya Yuda balizikirizibwa. Efulayimu talikwatirwa Yuda buggya wadde Yuda okubeera omulabe wa Efulayimu.
And the envy of Ephraim will be taken away, and the enemies of Judah will perish. Ephraim will not be a rival to Judah, and Judah will not fight against Ephraim.
14 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.
And they will fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines through the sea; together they will plunder the sons of the east. Idumea and Moab will be under the rule of their hand, and the sons of Ammon will be obedient.
15 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.
And the Lord will desolate the tongue of the sea of Egypt. And he will lift up his hand over the river, with the strength of his Spirit; and he will strike it, in its seven streams, so that they may cross through it in their shoes.
16 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.
And there will be a way for the remnant of my people, who will be left behind by the Assyrians: just as there was for Israel in the day that he ascended from the land of Egypt.
