Isaaya 27
1 Mu biro ebyo, Mukama Katonda alibonereza n’ekitala kye, ekitala kye eky’amaanyi, ekikambwe era ekinene, alibonereza Lukwata omusota ogwekulungula, Lukwata omusota ogwezinga, atte n’ogusota gw’ennyanja.
On that day will the Lord punish with his heavy and great and strong sword leviathan the flying serpent, and leviathan the crooked servant; and he will slay the crocodile that is in the sea.
2 Mu biro ebyo “Yimba oluyimba ku bibala eby’ennimiro ey’emizabbibu ebaze ebibala.
On that day sing ye a song of the vineyard of excellent wine.
3 Nze Mukama Katonda, ennimiro nze ngirabirira era nze ngifukirira buli kiseera. Ngikuuma emisana n’ekiro Waleme kubaawo n’omu agikola akabi.
“I the Lord do keep it; every moment will I water it: that no one shall hurt it, night and day will I keep it.
4 Siri munyiivu. Singa katazamiti n’amaggwa binnumba, nandibitabadde mu lutalo? Byonna nandibyokezza omuliro.
Wrath have I not: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would pass through them, and I would burn them altogether.
5 Oba si weewaawo ajje gye ndi afune obuddukiro, tutabagane, weewaawo tutabagane.”
If he but take hold of my strength, make peace with me; make peace with me.”
6 Mu biro ebijja Yakobo alisimba emirandira, Isirayiri aliroka n’amulisa n’ajjuza ensi yonna ebibala.
In the future shall Jacob yet take root; Israel shall bud and blossom, and shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Mukama amukubye omuggo ng’akuba abo abaamukuba? Attiddwa nga be yatta, bwe battibwa?
Hath he smitten him, as he smote the one that smote him? or was he slain with the same slaughter as those of him that were slain?
8 Olwanagana naye n’omusobola, n’omuwaŋŋangusa, omugoba n’okuwuuma okw’amaanyi, ng’embuyaga ey’ebuvanjuba bw’efuuwa ku lunaku lwayo.
In measure, by driving him forth, thou strivest with him: he removed him with his violent storm on the day of the east wind.
9 Ekyo kye kiriggyawo omusango gwa Yakobo, era ekyo kye kiriba ekibala ekijjuvu ekiriggyawo ekibi kye. Bw’aliddira amayinja gonna ag’ekyoto okuba amayinja ag’ennoni agayasiddwayasiddwa, tewaliba Baasera newaakubadde ebyoto eby’okwoterezaako obubaane ebirisigala biyimiridde.
Therefore by this [only] shall the iniquity of Jacob be atoned; and this shall be all the fruit of the taking away of his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as limestones that are beaten in pieces, when there shall not arise again any groves and sun-images.
10 Ddala ddala ekibuga ekyaliko enkomera kaakano matongo, ekirekeddwa awo ng’eddungu. Eyo ennyana gy’eriira era gy’egalamira, n’erya amalagala gonna ku matabi gaago.
For [by this] the fortified city shall be desolate, the habitation be forsaken, and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall it lie down, and consume its branches.
11 Amatabi gaakyo bwe gakala, gamenyebwako, abakazi ne bagakuŋŋaanya ne bagakumisa omuliro. Bano bantu abatategeera, eyamukola tamusaasira, n’eyamutonda tamukwatirwa kisa.
When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off; women will come and set them on fire; for it is not a people of understanding; therefore he that made it will not have mercy on it, and he that formed it will show it no favor.
12 Mu biro ebyo Mukama alikusengejja okuva mu mazzi agakulukuta ag’Omugga Fulaati okutuuka ku mugga gw’e Misiri we guyiwa, era mmwe abaana ba Isirayiri mulikuŋŋaanyizibwa kinnoomu.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will beat off [the fruit] from the channel of the River up to the brook of Egypt; but ye shall be gathered up one by one, ye children of Israel.
13 Era mu biro ebyo ekkondeere eddene lirivuga, n’abo abaali boolekedde okuzikiririra mu nsi y’e Bwasuli, n’abo abaali baawaŋŋangusizibbwa mu Misiri balikomawo ne basinza Mukama ku lusozi olutukuvu e Yerusaalemi.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the great cornet shall be blown, and then shall come those who are lost in the land of Asshur, and those who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, and they shall prostrate themselves before the Lord on the holy mount at Jerusalem.
