< Isaaya 11 >

1 Ensibuka erimera ng’eva ku kikonge kya Yese, ne ku mirandira kulivaako omuti, ne ku muti kulivaako Ettabi eriribala ekibala.
A shoot will sprout from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.
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.
The Spirit of Yahweh will rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of instruction and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
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,
His delight will be the fear of the Lord; he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor decide by what his ears hear.
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 righteousness and decide fairly for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
5 Obutuukirivu, bwe buliba olukoba lwe yeesibya, n’obwesigwa, bw’alyesiba mu kiwato kye.
Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his hips.
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 live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, the calf, the young lion and the fattened calf, together. A little child will lead them.
7 Ente n’eddubu biririira wamu, abaana baazo banaagalamiranga wamu. Empologoma erirya omuddo ng’ente.
The cow and the bear will graze together, and their young will lie down together. 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.
A baby will play over the hole of the snake, and the weaned child will put his hand on the serpent's den.
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 hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover 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.
On that day, the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek him out, and his resting place 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.
On that day, the Lord will again extend his hand to recover the remnant of his people who remain in Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and 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.
He will set up a banner for the nations and will gather the outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah from the four corners 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.
He will turn aside the envy of Ephraim, and hostilities of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will not envy Judah, and Judah will no longer be hostile to 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.
Instead they will swoop down on the Philistine hills on the west, and together they will plunder the people of the east. They will attack Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them.
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.
Yahweh will completely destroy the gulf of the Sea of Egypt. With his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River and will divide it into seven streams, so it can be crossed over in sandals.
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.
There will be a highway for the remnant of his people that return from Assyria, as there was for Israel in their coming up from the land of Egypt.
