Isaaya 2
1 Kuno kwe kwolesebwa Isaaya omwana wa Amozi kwe yalaba ku Yuda ne Yerusaalemi.
The word which came to Esaias the son of Amos concerning Judea, and concerning Jerusalem.
2 Olulituuka mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma olusozi okuli ennyumba ya Mukama Katonda lulinywezebwa lusinge ensozi zonna okugulumira, luliyimusibwa lusukke ku ndala zonna, era amawanga gonna galilwolekera.
For in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be glorious, and the house of God [shall be] on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come to it.
3 Abantu bangi balijja bagambe nti, Mujje twambuke tulinnye ku lusozi lwa Mukama, mu nnyumba ya Katonda wa Yakobo, alyoke atuyigirize amakubo ge, tulyoke tutambulire mu mateeka ge. Kubanga Mukama aliteeka amateeka ng’asinziira mu Sayuuni, era mu Yerusaalemi abayigirize ekigambo kye.
And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.
4 Alisala enkaayana z’amawanga, aliramula emisango gy’abantu bangi, era ebitala byabwe balibiwesaamu enkumbi, n’amafumu gaabwe bagaweeseemu ebiwabyo. Eggwanga teririyimusa kitala ku ggwanga linnaalyo, so tebalyetegeka kulwana ntalo nate.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into sickles: and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
5 Ggwe ennyumba ya Yakobo, mujje tutambulire mu kitangaala kya Mukama Katonda.
And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 Wayabulira abantu bo ab’ennyumba ya Yakobo, kubanga eggwanga lijjudde obusamize obuva mu buvanjuba, n’obulaguzi obuli nga obw’omu Bafirisuuti, era basizza kimu ne bannamawanga.
For he has forsaken his people the house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.
7 Ensi yaabwe ejjudde effeeza ne zaabu, n’obugagga bwabwe tebuliiko kkomo: ensi yaabwe ejjudde embalaasi, era erimu n’amagaali g’embalaasi mangi nnyo.
For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.
8 Ensi yaabwe ejjudde bakatonda ababumbe, basinza omulimu gw’emikono gyabwe bo, engalo zaabwe gwe zeekolera.
And the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.
9 Kale omuntu wa kukkakkanyizibwa, omuntu wa kussibwa wansi. Mukama, tobasonyiwa!
And the mean man bowed down, and the great man was humbled: and I will not pardon them.
10 Mugende mwekweke mu njazi, mwekweke mu binnya wansi mu ttaka, nga mudduka entiisa ya Mukama Katonda, nga mudduka entiisa y’ekitiibwa ky’obukulu bwe.
Now therefore enter ye into the rocks, and hide yourselves in the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
11 Olunaku lujja okweyisa kw’omuntu n’amalala ge lwe birizikirizibwa, era Mukama Katonda yekka yaligulumizibwa ku olwo.
For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alina olunaku lw’ategese eri abo bonna ab’amalala era abeewanise, eri ebyo byonna eby’egulumiza ebijjudde okwemanya n’okwewulira.
For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and haughty, and upon every one that is high and towering, and they shall be brought down;
13 Alizikiriza emiti gy’omu Lebanooni, emiwanvu emigulumivu, n’emivule gyonna egya Basani.
and upon every cedar of Libanus, of them that are high and towering, and upon every oak of Basan,
14 Era n’ensozi zonna empanvu, n’obusozi bwonna obugulumivu.
and upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill,
15 Na buli mulongooti gwonna omuwanvu, na buli bbugwe gwe bakomese.
and upon every high tower, and upon every high wall,
16 Alizikiriza emmeeri zonna ez’e Talusiisi, n’ebifaananyi byonna ebisiige eby’omuwendo omungi.
and upon every ship of the sea, and upon every display of fine ships.
17 Era okwegulumiza kw’abantu kulijemulukuka, n’amalala g’abantu galissibwa; era Mukama Katonda yekka yaligulumizibwa ku lunaku olwo.
And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 N’ebifaananyi bye basinza birizikiririzibwa ddala ku olwo.
And they shall hide all [idols] made with hands,
19 Abantu balidduka ne beekweka mu mpuku mu mayinja, ne mu binnya mu ttaka, nga badduka entiisa n’ekitiibwa ky’obukulu bwa Mukama Katonda, bwaliyimuka okukankanya ensi n’amaanyi.
having carried [them] into the caves, and into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
20 Ku lunaku olwo abantu balisuulira ddala bakatonda baabwe abakole mu ffeeza, n’abakole mu zaabu, be beekolera nga ba kusinzanga, ne babakanyuga eri emmese n’eri ebinyira.
For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made [in order] to worship vanities and bats;
21 Balidduka ne beekukuma mu mpuku ez’amayinja amaatifu nga badduka entiisa n’ekitiibwa ky’obukulu bwa Mukama Katonda, bwaliyimuka okukankanya ensi.
to enter into the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
22 Mulekeraawo okwesiga omuntu alina omukka obukka mu nnyindo ze. Kiki ennyo kyali?
