Isaaya 34
1 Musembere mmwe amawanga muwulirize. Musseeyo omwoyo mmwe abantu. Ensi ewulirize, ne byonna ebigirimu, ensi ne byonna ebigivaamu.
Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and all its fulness; the world, and all that cometh forth of it.
2 Mukama anyiigidde amawanga gonna, ekiruyi kye kiri ku magye gaabwe gonna. Alibazikiririza ddala, alibawaayo okuttibwa.
For the wrath of Jehovah is against all the nations, and [his] fury against all their armies: he hath devoted them to destruction, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
3 Abantu baabwe abattibwa balisuulibwa ebweru, n’emirambo gyabwe giriwunya, n’ensozi zirinnyikira omusaayi gwabwe.
And their slain shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up from their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 Emmunyeenye zonna ez’omu ggulu zirisaanuuka, n’eggulu liryezingako ng’omuzingo; n’eggye ery’omu ggulu lirigwa, ng’ebikoola ebiwotose ebiva ku muzabbibu, ng’ebirimba ebyayongobera ebiva ku mutiini.
And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as a leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as the withered [fruit] from the fig-tree.
5 Weewaawo ekitala kyange kinywedde ne kijjuzibwa mu ggulu, era laba, kikkira ku Edomu okusala omusango, abantu be mmaliddewo ddala.
For my sword is bathed in the heavens; behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my ban, to judgment.
6 Ekitala kya Mukama kisaabye omusaayi, kiriko amasavu, omusaayi gw’abaana b’endiga n’embuzi, amasavu agava mu nsingo za sseddume. Mukama alina ekiweebwayo mu Bozula, era waliyo n’okuttibwa okw’amaanyi mu Edomu.
The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Embogo zirifiira wamu nazo, n’obute obulume, ne ziseddume zirifiira wamu nazo. Ensi yaabwe erijjula omusaayi, n’enfuufu erinnyikira amasavu.
And the buffaloes shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 Mukama alina olunaku olw’okuwalanirako eggwanga, omwaka ogw’okwesasuza, olw’ensonga eya Sayuuni.
For it is the day of Jehovah's vengeance, the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
9 Emigga gya Edomu girikalira ne gifuuka bulimbo, n’enfuufu ye erifuuka ng’obuwunga bwa salufa ayokya. Ensi ye erifuuka ng’obulimbo obuggya omuliro.
And the torrents thereof shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone; yea, the land thereof shall become burning pitch:
10 Talizikizibwa emisana n’ekiro, n’omukka gwe gulinyooka ennaku zonna. Edomu alisigala kifulukwa emirembe n’emirembe, era tewaliba n’omu ayita mu nsi eyo.
it shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 Ekiwuugulu eky’omu ddungu n’ekiwuugulu ekireekaana, birikibeeramu. Ekiwuugulu ekinene ne namuŋŋoona birizimbamu ebisu byabyo. Katonda aligololera ekipimo eky’okwewunika, n’ekipimo ekinaaleka Edomu nga njereere.
And the pelican and the bittern shall possess it, and the great owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And he shall stretch out upon it the line of waste, and the plummets of emptiness.
12 Abakungu be tebalibaako kye bayita bwakabaka, n’abalangira be bonna baliggwaawo.
Of her nobles who should proclaim the kingdom, none are there; and all her princes shall be nought.
13 Amaggwa galimera ku minaala egy’ekibuga kye, n’emyennyango n’amatovu ne bimera mu bigo bye ebyanywezebwa. Aliyiggibwa ebibe, era ebiwuugulu birimufuula ekifo eky’okuwummulirangamu.
And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in her fortresses; and it shall be a dwelling-place of wild dogs, a court for ostriches.
14 Ensolo ez’omu ddungu gye zirisisinkana empisi, n’embuzi enkambwe ez’omu nsiko gye ziriramusiganyiza. Era eyo ebisolo ebitambula ekiro nabyo biriwummula nga byefunidde ekifo eky’okuwummulirangamu.
And there shall the beasts of the desert meet with the jackals, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; the lilith also shall settle there, and find for herself a place of rest.
15 Ekiwuugulu kiribiikira eyo amagi, ne kigaalula, ne kirabirira abaana baakyo wansi w’ekisiikirize kyakyo. Era eyo ne kamunye gy’alikuŋŋaanira, empanga n’enseera.
There shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow; there also shall the vultures be gathered one with another.
16 Tunula mu muzingo gwa Mukama osome. Tewali na kimu ku ebyo ekiribulayo, era ekirume kiriba n’ekikazi, n’ekikazi ne kiba n’ekirume. Akamwa ka Mukama ke kalagidde, era Omwoyo we yalibikuŋŋaanya.
Search ye in the book of Jehovah and read: not one of these shall fail, one shall not have to seek for the other; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them.
17 Agabira buli kimu omugabo gwakyo, era omukono gwe gubigabanyiza mu kigera. Birikibeeramu ennaku zonna, bibeere omwo emirembe n’emirembe.
For he himself hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them with the line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
