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; and the stranger shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to 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.
And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and for handmaids; and they shall take them captive, 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,
And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy travail, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast 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 thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say: How hath the oppressor ceased! the exactress of gold ceased!
5 Mukama Katonda amenye omuggo ogw’abakozi b’ebibi, omuggo gw’obwakabaka ogw’abo abafuga.
The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers,
6 Ogwakubanga olutata amawanga n’obusungu, ogwafugisanga amawanga ekiruyi, ne gubayigganyanga nga tewali aguziyiza.
That smote the peoples in wrath with an incessant stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
7 Ensi yonna ewummudde eri mu mirembe, era batandise okuyimba.
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet; they break forth into singing.
8 Si ekyo kyokka n’enfugo n’emivule gya Lebanooni, nagyo gikuyeeyeereza nti, “Kasookanga ogwa tebangayo ajja kututema.”
Yea, the cypresses rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon: 'Since thou art laid down, no feller is 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)
The nether-world from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; the shades are stirred up for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; all the kings of the nations are raised up from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
10 Abo bonna balyogera ne bakugamba nti, “Naawe oweddemu amaanyi nga ffe! Naawe ofuuse nga ffe!”
All they do answer and say unto thee: 'Art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us?
11 Ekitiibwa kyo kyonna kissibbwa emagombe, awamu n’amaloboozi g’ennanga zo; bakwalidde envunyu, n’ensiriŋŋanyi zikubisseeko. (Sheol h7585)
Thy pomp is brought down to the nether-world, and the noise of thy psalteries; the maggot is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.' (Sheol h7585)
12 Ng’ogudde okuva mu ggulu, ggwe emunyeenye ey’enkya, omwana w’emambya! Ng’otemeddwa n’ogwa ku ttaka, ggwe eyamegganga amawanga!
How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst cast lots over the nations!
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;
And thou saidst in thy heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne, and I will sit upon the mount of meeting, in the uttermost parts of the 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 be like the Most High.'
Yet thou shalt be brought down to the nether-world, to the uttermost parts of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Abo abanaakulabanga banaakwekalirizanga bakwewuunye nga bagamba nti, “Ono si ye musajja eyayugumyanga ensi, ng’anyeenyanyeenya obwakabaka!
They that saw thee do narrowly look upon thee, they gaze earnestly at thee: 'Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 Eyafuula ensi okuba eddungu n’asuula ebibuga byayo, atakkirizanga bawambe kudda waabwe!”
That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?'
18 Bakabaka bonna ab’ensi bagalamidde mu kitiibwa, buli omu mu ntaana ye,
All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one 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 thou art cast forth away from thy grave like an abhorred offshoot, in the raiment of the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the pavement of the pit, as a carcass 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.
Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever.
21 Mutegeke ekifo batabani be we banattirwa olw’obutali butuukirivu bwa bakitaabwe, baleme okugolokoka ne balya ensi, ne bajjuza ensi yonna ebibuga byabwe.
Prepare ye slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they rise not up, and possess the earth, and fill the face 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.
And I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and offshoot and offspring, saith 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 bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
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 hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; 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 Asshur in My land, and upon My mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder.
26 Eno y’entegeka eyategekerwa ensi yonna: era guno gwe mukono ogwagololwa ku mawanga gonna.
This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon 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 hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
28 Mu mwaka kabaka Akazi mwe yafiira ne wabaawo obubaka buno.
In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
29 Tosanyuka ggwe Bufirisuuti yonna, kubanga omuggo ogwakukuba gumenyese, ne ku kikolo ky’omusota kulivaako enswera, n’ezzadde lyalyo liriba musota ogw’obusagwa oguwalabuka.
Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a basilisk, and his fruit shall be a 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.
And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
31 Leekaana ggwe wankaaki, kaaba ggwe ekibuga, osaanuuke olw’entiisa ggwe Bufirisuuti yonna! Kubanga mu bukiikakkono muvaamu omukka, eggye ery’abalwanyi omutali munafu.
Howl, O gate; cry, O city; melt away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke 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 then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of His people take refuge.
