Isaaya 19
1 Obunnabbi obukwata ku Misiri: Laba, Mukama yeebagadde ku kire ekidduka ennyo ajja mu Misiri. Ne bakatonda b’e Misiri balijugumira mu maaso ge, n’emitima gy’Abamisiri girisaanuukira munda mu bo.
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh unto Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at His presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt within it.
2 Era ndiyimusa Abamisiri okulwana n’Abamisiri, balwane buli muntu ne muganda we, na buli muntu ne muliraanwa we; ekibuga n’ekibuga, obwakabaka n’obwakabaka.
And I will spur Egypt against Egypt; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and everyone against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Abamisiri baliggwaamu omwoyo era entegeka zaabwe zonna ndizitta; era baliragulwa ebifaananyi ebibajje, n’abasamize, n’abaliko emizimu n’abalogo.
And the spirit of Egypt shall be made empty within it; and I will make void the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the whisperers, and to the ghosts, and to the familiar spirits.
4 Era ndigabula Abamisiri mu mukono gw’omufuzi omukambwe, era kabaka ow’entiisa alibafuga, bw’ayogera Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
5 Omugga gulikalira n’entobo y’omugga ekale ejjemu enjatika.
And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be drained dry,
6 N’emikutu giriwunya ekivundu, n’emyala egiyiwa mu mugga omunene nagyo gikale; ebitoogo n’essaalu nabyo biwotoke.
And the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Egypt shall be minished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither.
7 Ebimera ebiri ku Kiyira, ku lubalama lwa Kiyira kwennyini, ne byonna ebyasimbibwa ku Kiyira, birikala, birifuumuulibwa ne biggweerawo ddala.
The mosses by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all that is sown by the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
8 Era n’abavubi balisinda ne bakungubaga, n’abo bonna abasuula amalobo mu Kiyira balijjula ennaku, abatega obutimba baliggweeramu ddala amaanyi.
The fishers also shall lament, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9 Era nate n’abo abakozesa obugoogwa obusunsule balinafuwa, n’abo abaluka engoye enjeru mu linena nabo bakeŋŋentererwe.
Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave cotton, shall be ashamed.
10 Abakozi balikwatibwa ennaku, bonna abakolera empeera ne baggwaamu omwoyo.
And her foundations shall be crushed, all they that make dams shall be grieved in soul.
11 Abakulu ab’e Zowani basiruwalidde ddala, n’abagezigezi ba Falaawo bye boogera tebiriimu nsa. Mugamba mutya Falaawo nti, “Ndi mwana w’abagezi, omwana wa bassekabaka ab’edda”?
The princes of Zoan are utter fools; the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh are a senseless counsel; how can ye say unto Pharaoh: 'I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings'?
12 Kale nno abasajja bo ab’amagezi bali ludda wa? Leka bakubuulire bakutegeeze Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ky’ategese okutuusa ku Misiri.
Where are they, then, thy wise men? And let them tell thee now; and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt.
13 Abakungu ab’e Zowani basiriwadde, abakungu ab’e Noofu balimbiddwa, abo ababadde ejjinja ery’oku nsonda ery’ebika by’eggwanga bakyamizza Misiri.
The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner-stone of her tribes.
14 Mukama abataddemu omwoyo omubambaavu era baleetedde Misiri okutabukatabuka mu byonna by’ekola, ng’omutamiivu atagalira mu bisesemye bye.
The LORD hath mingled within her a spirit of dizziness; and they have caused Egypt to stagger in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
15 Tewali mukulembeze newaakubadde afugibwa, agasa ennyo oba agasa ekitono mu Misiri alibaako ky’akola.
Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
16 Ku lunaku luli Abamisiri balibeera ng’abakazi. Balikankana n’entiisa olw’omukono gwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ogugoloddwa gye bali.
In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He shaketh over it.
17 N’ensi ya Yuda erifuuka ntiisa eri Misiri, buli muntu anagibuulirwangako anatyanga, olw’okuteesa kwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye kw’ateesa ku yo.
And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt, whensoever one maketh mention thereof to it; it shall be afraid, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts, which He purposeth against it.
18 Ku lunaku olwo walibaawo ebibuga bitaano mu nsi y’e Misiri ebyogera olulimi lwa Kanani, era birirayira okwekwata ku Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye. Ekimu kiriyitibwa Ekibuga Ekyokuzikirira.
In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called The city of destruction.
19 Ku olwo waliteekebwawo ekyoto kya Mukama wakati mu nsi y’e Misiri, era n’ekijjukizo kya Mukama Katonda kiteekebwe ku nsalo.
In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
20 Kaliba kabonero era bujulizi eri Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye mu nsi y’e Misiri. Kubanga balikoowoola Mukama nga balumbiddwa, naye alibaweereza omulokozi, era abalwanirira, era alibalokola.
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and He will send them a saviour, and a defender, who will deliver them.
21 Noolwekyo Mukama alimanyibwa mu Misiri, n’Abamisiri balimanya Mukama era bamusinze ne ssaddaaka, n’ebirabo era balyeyama obweyamo eri Mukama ne babutuukiriza.
And the LORD shall make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and offering, and shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and shall perform it.
22 Era Mukama alibonereza Misiri, ng’akuba, ate ng’awonya. Nabo balidda gy’ali, balimwegayirira era alibawonya.
And the LORD will smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they shall return unto the LORD, and He will be entreated of them, and will heal them.
23 Ku olwo walibaawo oluguudo olugazi oluva mu Misiri olugenda mu Bwasuli, n’Omwasuli alijja mu Misiri, n’Omumisiri n’agenda mu Bwasuli; n’Abamisiri balisinziza wamu n’Abaasuli.
In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
24 Ku olwo Isirayiri eriba yakusatu wamu ne Misiri n’Obwasuli, baliweesa ensi omukisa.
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
25 Kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye abawadde omukisa, ng’ayogera nti, “Baweebwe omukisa Misiri abantu bange, n’Obwasuli omulimu gw’emikono gyange, ne Isirayiri obusika bwange.”
for that the LORD of hosts hath blessed him, saying: 'Blessed be Egypt My people and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel Mine inheritance.'
