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 hath come out from the stock of Jesse, And a branch from his roots is fruitful.
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.
Rested on him hath the Spirit of Jehovah, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and fear of Jehovah.
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,
To refresh him in the fear of Jehovah, And by the sight of his eyes he judgeth not, Nor by the hearing of his ears decideth.
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.
And he hath judged in righteousness the poor, And decided in uprightness for the humble of earth, And hath smitten earth with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips he putteth the wicked to death.
5 Obutuukirivu, bwe buliba olukoba lwe yeesibya, n’obwesigwa, bw’alyesiba mu kiwato kye.
And righteousness hath been the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness — the girdle of his reins.
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.
And a wolf hath sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard with a kid doth lie down, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, And a little youth is leader over them.
7 Ente n’eddubu biririira wamu, abaana baazo banaagalamiranga wamu. Empologoma erirya omuddo ng’ente.
And cow and bear do feed, Together lie down their young ones, And a lion as an ox eateth straw.
8 N’omwana ayonka alizannyira ku kinnya ky’enswera, n’omwana omuto aliteeka omukono gwe mu kinnya ky’essalambwa.
And played hath a suckling by the hole of an asp, And on the den of a cockatrice Hath the weaned one put his hand.
9 Tewalibeera kukolaganako bulabe wadde okuttiŋŋana ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu. Kubanga ensi eribeera ejjudde okumanya Mukama Katonda, ng’amazzi bwe gajjuza ennyanja.
Evil they do not, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For full hath been the earth with the knowledge of Jehovah, As the waters are 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.
And there hath been, in that day, A root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, Unto him do nations seek, And his rest hath been — honour!
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 it hath come to pass, in that day, The Lord addeth a second time his power, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from isles 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 hath lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathereth the driven away of Israel, And the scattered of Judah He assembleth, From the four wings 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 turned aside hath the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim doth not envy Judah, And Judah doth not distress 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 have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying 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.
And Jehovah hath devoted to destruction The tongue of the sea of Egypt, And hath waved His hand over the river, In the terror of his wind, And hath smitten it at the seven streams, And hath caused [men] to tread [it] with 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 hath been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!
