Zikusanze Ekibuga kya Dawudi
29 (A)Zikusanze ggwe Alyeri[a],
Alyeri ekibuga Dawudi kye yabeeramu,
yongera omwaka ku mwaka,
n’entuuko zo ez’embaga zigende mu maaso.
2 (B)Wabula ndizingiza Alyeri,
alikuba ebiwoobe era alikungubaga,
era aliba gye ndi ng’ekyoto kya Alyeri.
3 (C)Ndikuba olusiisira okukwetooloola wonna,
era ndikwetoolooza eminaala,
ne nkusaako ebifunvu.
4 (D)Olikkakkanyizibwa era olyogera ng’oli mu ttaka,
n’ebigambo byo biriwulikika nga biri wansi nnyo ng’oli mu nfuufu.
Eddoboozi lyo liriba ng’ery’oyo aliko akazimu nga liva mu ttaka,
n’ebigambo byo biriba bya kyama nga biva mu nfuufu.
5 (E)Naye abalabe bo abangi
baliba ng’enfuufu eweweddwa,
n’ebibinja by’abakozi b’ebibi abasingayo obubi
bibe ng’ebisasiro ebifuumuuka.
6 (F)Amangwago mu kaseera katono Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alikukyalira
mu kubwatuuka ne mu musisi,
ne mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka,
ne mu kibuyaga ne mu nnimi z’omuliro omukambwe oguzikiriza.
7 (G)Awo ebibinja by’amawanga gonna ebirwana ne Alyeri birimulumba,
birirumba n’ekigo kye ne bimutaayiza;
kiriba ng’ekirooto,
ng’okwolesebwa mu kiro
8 (H)ng’omuntu alumwa enjala bw’aloota ng’alya
naye bw’agolokoka n’asigala ng’akyalumwa enjala;
oba ng’omuntu alumwa ennyonta bw’aloota ng’anywa
naye n’agolokoka nga munafu ng’akyalumwa ennyonta.
Ekyo kye kirituuka ku bibinja by’amawanga gonna
agalwana n’Olusozi Sayuuni.
9 (I)Muwuniikirire era mwewuunye
Muzibirire era muzibe amaaso;
Batamiire, naye si na nvinnyo,
batagala, naye si lwa mwenge.
10 (J)Mukama akuwadde otulo tungi,
azibye amaaso gammwe bannabbi,
era abisse emitwe gyammwe abalabi.
11 (K)Okwolesebwa kuno kwonna tekulina makulu gy’oli okuggyako okuba ebigambo ebissibwako akabonero mu muzingo. Omuzingo bw’oguwa omuntu, asobola okusoma n’omugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde kino kisome,” ajja kukuddamu nti, “Sisobola, kuliko akabonero.” 12 Oba omuzingo bw’oguwa omuntu atasobola kusoma, n’omugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde kino kisome,” ajja kukuddamu nti, “Simanyi kusoma.”
13 (L)Mukama agamba nti,
“Abantu bano bansemberera n’akamwa kaabwe,
ne banzisaamu ekitiibwa n’emimwa gyabwe,
naye ng’emitima gyabwe gindi wala.
Okunsinza kwe bansinza,
biragiro abantu bye baayigiriza.
14 (M)Noolwekyo, laba ŋŋenda kwewuunyisa abantu bano.
Amagezi g’abagezi galizikirira,
n’okutegeera kw’abategeevu
kuliggwaawo.”
15 (N)Zibasanze abo abakola kyonna kye basobola
okukweka Mukama enteekateeka zaabwe,
abo abakola emirimu gyabwe mu kizikiza nga bagamba nti,
“Ani atulaba? Ani alimanya?”
16 (O)Mufuula ebintu
ne birabika ng’omubumbi alowoozebwa okwenkanankana n’ebbumba.
Ekyakolebwa kiyinza okwogera ku eyakikola nti,
“Teyankola”?
Ensuwa eyinza okugamba omubumbi nti,
“Talina ky’amanyi”?
17 (P)Mu kiseera kitono, Lebanooni tekirifuulibwa nnimiro ngimu,
n’ennimiro engimu n’erabika ng’ekibira?
18 (Q)Mu biro ebyo abaggavu b’amatu baliwulira ebigambo by’omuzingo,
n’amaaso g’abazibe galizibuka okuva mu kiseera ekizibu ne mu kizikiza.
19 (R)Abawombeefu balisanyukira mu Mukama nate,
n’abeetaaga balisanyukira mu Mutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
20 (S)Weewaawo asinga obubi aliggwaawo,
n’omunyoomi alibula,
n’abo bonna abeesunga okukola obutali butuukirivu,
21 (T)abo abakozesa ebigambo okufuula omuntu omusobya,
abatega eyeerwanako mu mbuga z’amateeka, abawa obujulizi obw’obulimba,
ne baleetera abataliiko musango obutawulirwa mu mbuga z’amateeka, balisalibwako.
22 (U)Noolwekyo Mukama eyanunula Ibulayimu bw’ati bw’ayogera eri ennyumba ya Yakobo nti,
Yakobo taliddayo kuswazibwa,
n’obwenyi bwabwe tebulisiiwuuka.
23 (V)Bwe baliraba omulimu gw’emikono gyange mu baana baabwe,
balikuuma erinnya lyange nga ttukuvu.
Balikakasa obutuukirivu bw’Omutukuvu wa Yakobo
era baliyimirira
ne beewuunya Katonda wa Isirayiri.
24 (W)Abo abaabula mu mwoyo balifuna okutegeera,
n’abo abeemulugunya balikkiriza okuyigirizibwa.

Isaiah 29
New International Version
Isaiah 29
New International Version
Woe to David’s City
29 Woe(A) to you, Ariel, Ariel,(B)
the city(C) where David settled!
Add year to year
and let your cycle of festivals(D) go on.
2 Yet I will besiege Ariel;(E)
she will mourn and lament,(F)
she will be to me like an altar hearth.[a](G)
3 I will encamp against you on all sides;
I will encircle(H) you with towers
and set up my siege works(I) against you.
4 Brought low, you will speak from the ground;
your speech will mumble(J) out of the dust.(K)
Your voice will come ghostlike(L) from the earth;
out of the dust your speech will whisper.(M)
5 But your many enemies will become like fine dust,(N)
the ruthless(O) hordes like blown chaff.(P)
Suddenly,(Q) in an instant,
6 the Lord Almighty will come(R)
with thunder(S) and earthquake(T) and great noise,
with windstorm and tempest(U) and flames of a devouring fire.(V)
7 Then the hordes of all the nations(W) that fight against Ariel,(X)
that attack her and her fortress and besiege her,
will be as it is with a dream,(Y)
with a vision in the night—
8 as when a hungry person dreams of eating,
but awakens(Z) hungry still;
as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,
but awakens faint and thirsty still.(AA)
So will it be with the hordes of all the nations
that fight against Mount Zion.(AB)
9 Be stunned and amazed,(AC)
blind yourselves and be sightless;(AD)
be drunk,(AE) but not from wine,(AF)
stagger,(AG) but not from beer.
10 The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep:(AH)
He has sealed your eyes(AI) (the prophets);(AJ)
he has covered your heads (the seers).(AK)
11 For you this whole vision(AL) is nothing but words sealed(AM) in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I can’t; it is sealed.” 12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I don’t know how to read.”
13 The Lord says:
“These people(AN) come near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,(AO)
but their hearts are far from me.(AP)
Their worship of me
is based on merely human rules they have been taught.[b](AQ)
14 Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;(AR)
the wisdom of the wise(AS) will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.(AT)”
15 Woe to those who go to great depths
to hide(AU) their plans from the Lord,
who do their work in darkness and think,
“Who sees us?(AV) Who will know?”(AW)
16 You turn things upside down,
as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!(AX)
Shall what is formed say to the one who formed(AY) it,
“You did not make me”?
Can the pot say to the potter,(AZ)
“You know nothing”?(BA)
17 In a very short time,(BB) will not Lebanon(BC) be turned into a fertile field(BD)
and the fertile field seem like a forest?(BE)
18 In that day(BF) the deaf(BG) will hear the words of the scroll,
and out of gloom and darkness(BH)
the eyes of the blind will see.(BI)
19 Once more the humble(BJ) will rejoice in the Lord;
the needy(BK) will rejoice in the Holy One(BL) of Israel.
20 The ruthless(BM) will vanish,(BN)
the mockers(BO) will disappear,
and all who have an eye for evil(BP) will be cut down—
21 those who with a word make someone out to be guilty,
who ensnare the defender in court(BQ)
and with false testimony(BR) deprive the innocent of justice.(BS)
22 Therefore this is what the Lord, who redeemed(BT) Abraham,(BU) says to the descendants of Jacob:
“No longer will Jacob be ashamed;(BV)
no longer will their faces grow pale.(BW)
23 When they see among them their children,(BX)
the work of my hands,(BY)
they will keep my name holy;(BZ)
they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One(CA) of Jacob,
and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 Those who are wayward(CB) in spirit will gain understanding;(CC)
those who complain will accept instruction.”(CD)
