Isaaya 7
1 Awo olwatuuka mu mirembe gya Akazi omwana wa Yosamu, omwana wa Uzziya, kabaka wa Yuda, Lezini kabaka w’e Busuuli, ne Peka omwana wa Lemaliya, kabaka wa Isirayiri ne bambuka okulwanyisa Yerusaalemi naye ne balemererwa.
Kwasekusithi ensukwini zikaAhazi indodana kaJothamu, indodana kaUziya inkosi yakoJuda, uRezini inkosi yeSiriya kanye loPheka indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yakoIsrayeli wenyukela eJerusalema ukuya empini emelene layo, kodwa kabangalakho ukulwa layo ngokuphumelelayo.
2 Amawulire bwe gatuuka eri Kabaka wa Yuda nti, “Obusuuli bwegasse ne Efulayimu okubalumba”; omutima gwe n’egy’abantu ba Yuda bonna ne gikankana, ne giba ng’emiti egy’omu kibira eginyeenyezebwa embuyaga.
Kwasekubikwa endlini kaDavida ukuthi iSiriya ihlangene loEfrayimi; inhliziyo yakhe lenhliziyo yabantu bakhe zasezinyikinyeka njengezihlahla zegusu zinyikinywa ngumoya.
3 Mukama Katonda n’alyoka agamba Isaaya nti, “Fuluma kaakano osisinkane Akazi, ggwe ne mutabani wo Seyalusayubu, olusalosalo olw’ekidiba ekyengulu we lukoma, mu luguudo olw’Ennimiro y’Omwozi w’Engoye,
INkosi yasisithi kuIsaya: Ake uphume uyehlangabeza uAhazi, wena loSheyari-Yashubi indodana yakho, ekucineni komfolo wechibi elingaphezulu, emgwaqweni omkhulu wensimu yomwatshi,
4 omugambe nti, ‘Weegendereze, beera mukkakkamu toba na kutya omutima gwo teguggwaamu maanyi olw’emimuli gino eginyooka egiggweeredde, olw’obusungu bwa Lezini, n’obwa Obusuuli n’obw’omwana wa Lemaliya obubuubuuka.’
uthi kuye: Nanzelela, uthule, ungesabi, lenhliziyo yakho ingabi buthakathaka ngenxa yemisila emibili yalezizikhuni ezithunqayo, ngenxa yokuvutha kolaka lukaRezini leSiriya, lendodana kaRemaliya.
5 Kubanga Obusuuli ne Efulayimu ne mutabani wa Lemaliya bateesezza okukuleetako obulabe nga boogera nti,
Ngenxa yokuthi iSiriya, uEfrayimi, lendodana kaRemaliya, bacebise okubi ngawe, besithi:
6 ‘Ka twambuke tulumbe Yuda, tukiyuzeeyuze tukyegabanye, tufuule omwana wa Tabeeri okuba kabaka waakyo.’
Asenyukele koJuda, simesabise, sizifohlelele kuye, sibeke inkosi phakathi kwakhe, indodana kaTabeyeli.
7 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ekyo tekiibeewo era tekirituukirira.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakuyikuma, njalo kakuyikwenzeka.
8 Kubanga Damasiko ge maanyi ga Busuuli era ne Lezini ge maanyi ga Damasiko. Mu bbanga lya myaka nkaaga mu etaano Efulayimu kiribetentebwatentebwa nga tekikyali ggwanga.
Ngoba inhloko yeSiriya yiDamaseko, lenhloko yeDamaseko nguRezini; laphakathi kuseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lanhlanu uEfrayimi uzakwephulwa, angabi yisizwe.
9 Ne Samaliya ge maanyi ga Efulayimu, era mutabani wa Lemaliya ge maanyi ga Samaliya. Bwe mutalinywerera mu kukkiriza kwammwe, ddala temuliyimirira n’akatono.’”
Njalo inhloko kaEfrayimi yiSamariya, lenhloko yeSamariya yindodana kaRemaliya. Uba lingakholwa, isibili kaliyikuqiniswa.
10 Mukama Katonda n’addamu n’agamba Akazi nti,
INkosi yasiqhubeka ikhuluma kuAhazi isithi:
11 “Saba Mukama Katonda wo akabonero, ne bwe kanaaba mu buziba, oba mu magombe oba mu bwengula.” (Sheol h7585)
Zicelele isibonakaliso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho; cela ekujuleni loba ekuphakameni phezulu. (Sheol h7585)
12 Naye Akazi n’agamba nti, “Sijja kusaba kabonero, sijja kugezesa Mukama Katonda.”
Kodwa uAhazi wathi: Kangiyikucela, kangiyikulinga iNkosi.
13 Isaaya n’ayogera nti, “Muwulire mmwe kaakano, mmwe ennyumba ya Dawudi! Okugezesa abantu tekibamala? Ne Katonda munaamugezesa?
Wasesithi: Zwana-ke, ndlu kaDavida; kuyinto encinyane kakhulu kuwe yini ukuthi udinise abantu, ukuthi udinise loNkulunkulu wami?
14 Noolwekyo Mukama yennyini kyaliva abawa akabonero; laba omuwala atamanyi musajja alizaala omwana wabulenzi era alituumibwa erinnya Emmanweri.
Ngakho iNkosi uqobo izalinika isibonakaliso: Khangela, intombi emsulwa izathatha isisu, ibelethe indodana, ibize ibizo layo ngokuthi nguEmanuweli.
15 Bw’alituuka okwawula ekirungi n’ekibi aliba alya muzigo na mubisi gwa njuki.
Uzakudla amasi loluju, aze azi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle.
16 Kubanga ng’omwana bw’aba nga tannamanya kugaana kibi n’alondawo ekirungi, ensi eza bakabaka ababiri bootya erisigala matongo.
Ngoba umntwana engakakwazi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle, ilizwe onengwa yilo lizatshiywa ngamakhosi alo amabili.
17 Mukama Katonda alikuleetako ne ku bantu bo ne ku nnyumba ya kitaawo ennaku ezitabangawo bukyanga Efulayimu eva ku Yuda; agenda kuleeta kabaka w’e Bwasuli.”
INkosi izaletha phezu kwakho laphezu kwabantu bakho laphezu kwendlu kayihlo insuku ezingezanga kusukela osukwini uEfrayimi asuka ngalo koJuda; yinkosi yeAsiriya.
18 Olunaku olwo nga lutuuse, Mukama Katonda alikoowoola ensowera eri mu bifo eby’ewala eby’emigga egy’e Misiri, n’enjuki eri mu nsi y’e Bwasuli.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi itshaye ikhwelo empukaneni esephethelweni lwemifula yeGibhithe, lenyosini eselizweni leAsiriya.
19 Era byonna birijja bituule mu biwonvu ebyazika, ne mu njatika z’omu mayinja, ku maggwa, ne ku malundiro gonna.
Zizakuza-ke, ziphumule zonke ezigodini zamawa, lezingoxweni zamadwala, lezihlahleni zonke zameva, lemadlelweni wonke.
20 Ku lunaku luli Mukama alimwesa akawembe akapangisiddwa emitala w’emigga, ye kabaka w’e Bwasuli, kammwe omutwe, n’obwoya bw’oku magulu, kasalireko ddala n’ekirevu.
Ngalolosuku iNkosi izaphuca ngensingo eyebolekwe, phetsheya komfula, ngenkosi yeAsiriya, ikhanda loboya bezinyawo, futhi ihluthune lendevu.
21 Newaakubadde mu nnaku ezo, ng’omuntu alisigaza ente emu yokka n’endiga bbiri,
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku umuntu uzagcina kuphila ithokazi lezimvu ezimbili;
22 naye olw’obungi bw’amata agabivaamu, alirya ku muzigo. Kubanga buli alisigalawo mu nsi alirya muzigo na mubisi gwa njuki.
kuzakuthi-ke ngenxa yobunengi bochago ezilwehlisayo adle amasi; yebo, wonke oseleyo phakathi kwelizwe uzakudla amasi loluju.
23 Era ng’olunaku lutuuse, buli kifo awaabanga emizabbibu, ng’olukumi lubalibwamu kilo kkumi n’emu n’ekitundu, kiriba kisigaddemu myeramannyo n’amaggwa.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, yonke indawo lapho okwakukhona amavini ayinkulungwane ngenhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane, kube ngokwameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
24 Abantu baligendayo na busaale na mitego, kubanga ensi yonna eriba efuuse myeramannyo na maggwa.
Bazakuya khona ngemitshoko langedandili, ngoba ilizwe lonke lizakuba ngameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
25 N’ensozi zonna ze baalimanga n’enkumbi nga tezikyatuukikako olw’okutya emyeramannyo n’amaggwa, era kirifuuka ekifo ente n’endiga we byerundira.
Lazo zonke izintaba ezazilinywa ngekhuba kabayikuya kuzo ngokwesaba ameva lokhula oluhlabayo; kodwa kuzakuba ngokokungenisa inkabi lokokunyathelwa yizimvu.
