Isaaya 25
1 Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, gwe Katonda wange; ndikugulumiza ne ntendereza erinnya lyo, kubanga okoze ebintu eby’ettendo, ebintu bye wateekateeka edda, mu bwesigwa bwo.
O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 Ekibuga okifudde ntuumu ya bisasiro, ekibuga ekiriko ekigo okifudde matongo, ekibuga omwaddukiranga bannaggwanga tekikyali kibuga, tekirizimbibwa nate.
For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a fortified city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Abantu ab’amaanyi kyebaliva bakussaamu ekitiibwa n’ebibuga eby’amawanga ag’entiisa birikutya.
Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
4 Ddala obadde kiddukiro eri abaavu, ekiddukiro eri oyo eyeetaaga, ekiddukiro ng’eriyo embuyaga n’ekisiikirize awali ebbugumu. Omukka gw’ab’entiisa guli ng’embuyaga ekuntira ku kisenge
For thou hast been a defence to the poor, a defence to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 era ng’ebbugumu ery’omu ddungu. Osirisa oluyoogaano lw’abannaggwanga, era ng’ekisiikirize eky’ekire bwe kikendeeza ebbugumu, n’oluyimba lw’abakambwe bwe lusirisibwa.
Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 Ku lusozi luno Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye aliteekerateekerako abantu bonna ekijjulo eky’emmere ennungi, n’embaga eya wayini omuka n’ennyama esingayo obulungi, ne wayini asinga obulungi.
And on this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make to all people a feast of rich things, a feast of wines on the lees, of rich things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 Ku lusozi luno alizikiriza ekibikka ekyetoolodde abantu bonna, n’eggigi eribikka amawanga gonna,
And he will destroy on this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 era alimalirawo ddala okufa. Mukama Katonda alisangula amaziga mu maaso gonna, era aliggyawo okuswazibwa kw’abantu be mu nsi yonna. Mukama ayogedde.
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he remove from all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9 Mu biro ebyo balyogera nti, “Eky’amazima oyo ye Katonda waffe; twamwesiga n’atulokola. Ono ye Mukama Katonda twamwesiga; tusanyukire mu bulokozi bwe, era tumujagulizeemu.”
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 Ddala omukono gwa Mukama Katonda guliwummulira ku lusozi luno, naye Mowaabu alirinnyirirwa wansi we, ng’essubi bwe lirinnyirirwa okukolamu ebijimusa.
For on this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 Aligolola emikono gye, ng’omuwuzi bw’agolola emikono gye ng’awuga. Katonda alikkakkanya amalala ge newaakubadde ng’emikono gye gikola eby’amagezi.
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 Alimenya bbugwe omuwanvu, n’amusuula, alimusuula ku ttaka, mu nfuufu.
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
