Isaaya 34
1 Musembere mmwe amawanga muwulirize. Musseeyo omwoyo mmwe abantu. Ensi ewulirize, ne byonna ebigirimu, ensi ne byonna ebigivaamu.
Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear, the world, and everything that comes from it.
2 Mukama anyiigidde amawanga gonna, ekiruyi kye kiri ku magye gaabwe gonna. Alibazikiririza ddala, alibawaayo okuttibwa.
For the LORD is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.
3 Abantu baabwe abattibwa balisuulibwa ebweru, n’emirambo gyabwe giriwunya, n’ensozi zirinnyikira omusaayi gwabwe.
Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up. The mountains will melt in 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.
All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a 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 has drunk its fill in the sky. Behold, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for 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 LORD’s sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the LORD has 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.
The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be drunken with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.
8 Mukama alina olunaku olw’okuwalanirako eggwanga, omwaka ogw’okwesasuza, olw’ensonga eya Sayuuni.
For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause 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.
Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulfur, and its land will 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 won’t be quenched night or day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever 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.
But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Abakungu be tebalibaako kye bayita bwakabaka, n’abalangira be bonna baliggwaawo.
They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
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.
Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, 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.
The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. Yes, the night creature shall settle there, and shall find 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.
The arrow snake will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
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 in the book of the LORD, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 Agabira buli kimu omugabo gwakyo, era omukono gwe gubigabanyiza mu kigera. Birikibeeramu ennaku zonna, bibeere omwo emirembe n’emirembe.
He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
