Isaaya 14
1 Mukama Katonda alikwatirwa Yakobo ekisa, addemu alonde Isirayiri abazze ku ttaka lyabwe. Ne bannamawanga balibeegattako era babeere wamu nga babeeyungiddeko ddala.
For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.
2 N’amawanga mangi galibayamba okudda mu nsi yaabwe, n’ennyumba ya Isirayiri ebeere n’abantu abamawanga amangi mu nsi ya Mukama Katonda, nga baweereza baabwe abasajja n’abakazi. Baliwamba abaali babawambye, bafuge abo abaabakijjanyanga.
The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in the LORD’s land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 Awo olunaku Mukama Katonda lw’alibawa okuwummula okuva mu kulumwa kwammwe n’okukijjanyizibwa kwe mubaddemu nga mukozesebwa,
It will happen in the day that the LORD will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
4 oligera olugero luno ku kabaka w’e Babulooni n’oyogera nti: Omujoozi ng’agudde n’aggwaawo! Ekibuga ekya zaabu ekibadde kitutigomya nga tekikyaliwo!
that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”
5 Mukama Katonda amenye omuggo ogw’abakozi b’ebibi, omuggo gw’obwakabaka ogw’abo abafuga.
The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
6 Ogwakubanga olutata amawanga n’obusungu, ogwafugisanga amawanga ekiruyi, ne gubayigganyanga nga tewali aguziyiza.
who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained.
7 Ensi yonna ewummudde eri mu mirembe, era batandise okuyimba.
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out in song.
8 Si ekyo kyokka n’enfugo n’emivule gya Lebanooni, nagyo gikuyeeyeereza nti, “Kasookanga ogwa tebangayo ajja kututema.”
Yes, the cypress trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, “Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us.”
9 Amagombe wansi gagugumuka ku lulwo okukusisinkana ng’ojja, gagolokosa emyoyo gy’abafu ku lulwo, bonna abaali abakulembeze b’ensi; gayimusizza bakabaka ku ntebe zaabwe, bonna abaali bakabaka baamawanga. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol (Sheol h7585) from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the departed spirits for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
10 Abo bonna balyogera ne bakugamba nti, “Naawe oweddemu amaanyi nga ffe! Naawe ofuuse nga ffe!”
They all will answer and ask you, “Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?”
11 Ekitiibwa kyo kyonna kissibbwa emagombe, awamu n’amaloboozi g’ennanga zo; bakwalidde envunyu, n’ensiriŋŋanyi zikubisseeko. (Sheol h7585)
Your pomp is brought down to Sheol (Sheol h7585), with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you.
12 Ng’ogudde okuva mu ggulu, ggwe emunyeenye ey’enkya, omwana w’emambya! Ng’otemeddwa n’ogwa ku ttaka, ggwe eyamegganga amawanga!
How you have fallen from heaven, shining one, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!
13 Wayogera mu mutima gwo nti, “Ndirinnya mu ggulu, ndigulumiza entebe yange okusinga emunyeenye za Katonda; era nditeeka entebe yange waggulu ntuule ku lusozi olw’okukuŋŋaanirako ku njuyi ez’enkomerero ez’obukiikakkono;
You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north!
14 ndyambuka okusinga ebire we bikoma, ndyoke nfuuke ng’oyo ali waggulu ennyo.”
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!”
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol (Sheol h7585), to the depths of the pit.
16 Abo abanaakulabanga banaakwekalirizanga bakwewuunye nga bagamba nti, “Ono si ye musajja eyayugumyanga ensi, ng’anyeenyanyeenya obwakabaka!
Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms,
17 Eyafuula ensi okuba eddungu n’asuula ebibuga byayo, atakkirizanga bawambe kudda waabwe!”
who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities, who did not release his prisoners to their home?”
18 Bakabaka bonna ab’ensi bagalamidde mu kitiibwa, buli omu mu ntaana ye,
All the kings of the nations sleep in glory, everyone in his own house.
19 naye osuulibbwa okukuggya mu malaalo go ng’ettabi ery’omuzizo eryakyayibwa, ng’oteekeddwa wamu n’abattibwa, abaafumitibwa n’ekitala, abakka eri amayinja g’obunnya; ng’omulambo ogulinyiriddwa.
But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
20 Toligattibwa n’abo mu kuziikibwa kubanga wazikiriza ensi yo n’otta abantu bo; ezzadde ly’abo abaakola ebibi teriryongerwako n’akatono.
You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be named forever.
21 Mutegeke ekifo batabani be we banattirwa olw’obutali butuukirivu bwa bakitaabwe, baleme okugolokoka ne balya ensi, ne bajjuza ensi yonna ebibuga byabwe.
Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.
22 “Nange ndibagolokokerako,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, “ne mmalawo mu Babulooni erinnya lye, n’abalifikkawo, n’omwana n’omuzzukulu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
“I will rise up against them,” says the LORD of Armies, “and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son,” says the LORD.
23 “Era ndimufuula obutaka bw’ebiwuugulu, n’entobazzi era mwere n’olweyo oluzikiriza,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
“I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the LORD of Armies.
24 Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alayidde n’ayogera nti, “Ddala nga bwe nalowooza, bwe kirituukirira bwe kityo era nga bwe nateesa, bwe kirinywera bwe kityo.
The LORD of Armies has sworn, saying, “Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 Ndimenyera Omwasuli mu nsi yange, era ndimulinnyirira ku nsozi zange. Ekikoligo kye kiribavaako, n’omugugu gwe guliggyibwa ku kibegabega kye.”
that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
26 Eno y’entegeka eyategekerwa ensi yonna: era guno gwe mukono ogwagololwa ku mawanga gonna.
This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 Kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ye yateesa, kale ani ayinza okukijjulula? Omukono gwe gugoloddwa, kale ani ayinza okuguzzaayo?
For the LORD of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”
28 Mu mwaka kabaka Akazi mwe yafiira ne wabaawo obubaka buno.
This burden was in the year that King Ahaz died.
29 Tosanyuka ggwe Bufirisuuti yonna, kubanga omuggo ogwakukuba gumenyese, ne ku kikolo ky’omusota kulivaako enswera, n’ezzadde lyalyo liriba musota ogw’obusagwa oguwalabuka.
Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent’s root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.
30 Abasingirayo ddala okuba abaavu balifuna ekyokulya, n’abali mu kwetaaga balifuna ku tulo naye ekikolo kyo ndikittisa enjala ate abo abalisigalawo mbattise ekitala.
The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
31 Leekaana ggwe wankaaki, kaaba ggwe ekibuga, osaanuuke olw’entiisa ggwe Bufirisuuti yonna! Kubanga mu bukiikakkono muvaamu omukka, eggye ery’abalwanyi omutali munafu.
Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
32 Kale kiki kye banaddamu ababaka b’eggwanga eryo? “Mukama yassaawo Sayuuni, ne mu kyo abantu be ababonyaabonyezebwa mwe balifuna obuddukiro.”
What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
