Zikusanze Efulayimu
28 (A)Zikusanze engule ey’amalala g’abatamiivu aba Efulayimu,
zikusanze ekimuli ekiwotoka[a] eky’obulungi bw’ekitiibwa kye,
ekiri ku mutwe gw’ekiwonvu ekigimu,
Zikusanze ekibuga ky’abo abatamiivu.
2 (B)Laba, Mukama wa maanyi mangi ddala,
ng’embuyaga ey’omuzira n’embuyaga ezikiriza,
ng’enkuba ey’amaanyi ereeta amataba,
bwe ndisuula ekibuga ekyo n’amaanyi mangi.
3 (C)Engule ey’amalala ey’abatamiivu ba Efulayimu
aligibetenta n’ebigere bye.
4 (D)Ekimuli ekyo ekiwotoka eky’obulungi bw’ekitiibwa kye
ekiri waggulu w’ekiwonvu ekigimu,
kiriba ng’ettiini erisooka okwengera nga n’amakungula tegannatuuka,
era omuntu bw’aliraba alinoga n’alirya.
5 (E)Mu biro ebyo Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye
aliba ngule ya kitiibwa,
engule ennungi
ey’abantu be abaasigalawo.
6 (F)Aliba n’omwoyo ogw’okusala ensonga mu bwenkanya
oyo atuula n’asala emisango,
Aliba nsibuko ya maanyi
eri abo abawoza olutabaalo ku wankaaki.
7 (G)Ne bano nabo batagala olw’omwenge,
era bawabye olw’ekitamiiza;
Bakabona ne bannabbi batagala olw’ekitamiiza,
era bawabye olw’omwenge;
bawabye olw’ekitamiiza,
batagala ne bava mu kwolesebwa,
era tebasalawo nsonga.
8 (H)Weewaawo emmeeza zonna ziriko ebisesemye,
tewakyali kifo kiyonjo.
9 (I)“Ani gw’agezaako okuyigiriza?
Ani gw’annyonnyola obubaka bwe?
Abaana abaakalekayo okuyonka
oba abo abaakaggibwa ku mabeere?
10 Kubanga kola okole, kola okole
Ekiragiro ku kiragiro, ekiragiro ku kiragiro,
Wano katono na wali katono.”
11 (J)Weewaawo, Katonda alyogera eri abantu abo
n’emimwa emigenyi mu lulimi olugwira,
12 (K)abo be yagamba nti,
Kino kye kifo eky’okuwummuliramu eri oyo akooye,
era kye kifo eky’okuwerera
naye ne bagaana okuwuliriza.
13 (L)Noolwekyo ekigambo kya Mukama kyekiriva kibeera gye bali
kola okole, kola okole,
ekiragiro ku kiragiro, ekiragiro ku kiragiro,
wano katono na wali katono,
balyoke bagende bagwe kya bugazi,
era balitegebwa, era ne batuukako ebisago ne bawambibwa.
14 (M)Noolwekyo muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda mmwe abantu abanyoomi,
mmwe abafuga abantu ababeera mu Yerusaalemi ne mubanyooma.
15 (N)Weewaawo mwewaana nga bwe mugamba nti, “Twakola endagaano n’okufa, era twalagaana n’amagombe. Ekikangabwa eky’amaanyi ne bwe kijja, tekirina kye kiyinza kutukola, kubanga tufudde obulimba ekiddukiro kyaffe, era mu bukuusa mwe twekwese.”
16 (O)Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna kyava agamba nti,
“Laba, nteeka mu Sayuuni ejjinja,
ejjinja eryagezesebwa, ery’oku nsonda,
ery’omuwendo, okuba omusingi;
oyo alyesiga taliterebuka.
17 (P)Ndifuula obwenkanya okuba omuguwa ogupima,
n’obutuukirivu okuba omuguwa ogutereeza,
era omuzira gulyera ekiddukiro ekyobulimba,
n’amazzi galyanjaala ku kifo eky’okwekwekamu.
18 (Q)N’endagaano gye walagaana n’okufa erijjulukuka,
n’endagaano gye walagaana n’amagombe terinywera.
Ekikangabwa eky’amaanyi bwe kirijja,
kiribagwira.
19 (R)Weewaawo buli lwe kinaayitanga,
kinaabagwiranga
buli lukya emisana n’ekiro.”
Era okutegeera obubaka buno
kirireeta ntiisa njereere.
20 (S)Weewaawo ekitanda kimpi okwegololerako,
ne bulangiti nnyimpi okwebikka.
21 (T)Weewaawo Mukama aligolokoka nga bwe yagolokoka ku Lusozi Perazimu,
era alisunguwala nga bwe yasunguwalira mu Kiwonvu eky’e Gibyoni,
alyoke akole omulimu gwe, omulimu gwe ogwewuunyisa,
atuukirize omulimu gwe, omulimu gwe ogwewuunyisa.
22 (U)Noolwekyo mulekeraawo okunyooma, enjegere zammwe zireme kweyongera kubazitoowerera.
Nawulira okuva eri Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye
ng’awa ekiragiro ekizikiriza ensi yonna.
23 Muwulirize, era muwulire eddoboozi lyange;
Musseeyo omwoyo, muwulire kye ŋŋamba.
24 Omulimi bw’alima nga yeetegekera okusimba, alima lutata?
Alima bw’ayimirira n’atema amavuunike mu ttaka?
25 (V)Bw’amala okulyanjaala, tasigamu mpinnamuti, n’asaasaanya kumino?
Tasiga ŋŋaano mu kifo kyayo,
ne sayiri mu kibanja kyayo,
n’omukyere mu nnimiro yaagwo?
26 Katonda we amuwa ebiragiro,
n’amuyigiriza ekkubo etuufu.
27 Empinnamuti teziwuulibwa na luso,
newaakubadde okunyiga kumino ne nnamuziga w’eggaali.
Empinnamuti zikubibwa na muggo
ne kumino n’ekubibwa n’oluga.
28 Empeke eteekwa okuseebwa okuvaamu omugaati,
So n’omuntu tagiwuula butamala.
Newaakubadde ng’agitambulizaako nnamuziga w’eggaali lye eriwuula,
Embalaasi ze si zeezigisa.
29 (W)Bino byonna nabyo biva eri Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye,
ow’ekitalo mu kuteesa ebigambo,
asinga amagezi.

Isaiah 28
New International Version
Isaiah 28
New International Version
Woe to the Leaders of Ephraim and Judah
28 Woe(A) to that wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(B) drunkards,
to the fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley(C)—
to that city, the pride of those laid low by wine!(D)
2 See, the Lord has one who is powerful(E) and strong.
Like a hailstorm(F) and a destructive wind,(G)
like a driving rain and a flooding(H) downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
3 That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(I) drunkards,
will be trampled(J) underfoot.
4 That fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley,(K)
will be like figs(L) ripe before harvest—
as soon as people see them and take them in hand,
they swallow them.
5 In that day(M) the Lord Almighty
will be a glorious(N) crown,(O)
a beautiful wreath
for the remnant(P) of his people.
6 He will be a spirit of justice(Q)
to the one who sits in judgment,(R)
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle(S) at the gate.
7 And these also stagger(T) from wine(U)
and reel(V) from beer:
Priests(W) and prophets(X) stagger from beer
and are befuddled with wine;
they reel from beer,
they stagger when seeing visions,(Y)
they stumble when rendering decisions.
8 All the tables are covered with vomit(Z)
and there is not a spot without filth.
9 “Who is it he is trying to teach?(AA)
To whom is he explaining his message?(AB)
To children weaned(AC) from their milk,(AD)
to those just taken from the breast?
10 For it is:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that[a];
a little here, a little there.(AE)”
11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues(AF)
God will speak to this people,(AG)
12 to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;(AH)
and, “This is the place of repose”—
but they would not listen.
13 So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there(AI)—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured(AJ) and snared and captured.(AK)
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord,(AL) you scoffers(AM)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,(AN)
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(AO)
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie(AP) our refuge
and falsehood[b] our hiding place.(AQ)”
16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,(AR) a tested stone,(AS)
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;(AT)
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.(AU)
17 I will make justice(AV) the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;(AW)
hail(AX) will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow(AY) your hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.(AZ)
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(BA)
you will be beaten down(BB) by it.
19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;(BC)
morning after morning,(BD) by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.(BE)
20 The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.(BF)
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(BG)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(BH)—
to do his work,(BI) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22 Now stop your mocking,(BJ)
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed(BK) against the whole land.(BL)
23 Listen(BM) and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
24 When a farmer plows for planting,(BN) does he plow continually?
Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?
25 When he has leveled the surface,
does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?(BO)
Does he not plant wheat in its place,[c]
barley(BP) in its plot,[d]
and spelt(BQ) in its field?
26 His God instructs him
and teaches(BR) him the right way.
27 Caraway is not threshed(BS) with a sledge,(BT)
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,(BU)
and cumin with a stick.
28 Grain must be ground to make bread;
so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart(BV) may be rolled over it,
but one does not use horses to grind grain.
29 All this also comes from the Lord Almighty,
whose plan is wonderful,(BW)
whose wisdom is magnificent.(BX)
