47 (A)“Omuwala wa Babulooni embeerera,
kakkana wansi otuule mu nfuufu,
tuula wansi awatali ntebe ya bwakabaka,
ggwe omuwala w’Abakaludaaya.
Ekibuga ekitawangulwangako.
Toliddayo nate kuyitibwa kyatika oba nnalulungi.
2 (B)Ddira olubengo ose obutta.
Ggyako akatimba ku maaso,
situla ku ngoye z’oku magulu
oyite mu mazzi.
3 (C)Obwereere bwo bulibikkulwa;
obusungu bwo bulyeraga.
Nzija kuwoolera eggwanga;
tewali muntu yenna gwe ndirekawo.”

ye Mutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
5 (E)“Tuula mu kasirise
yingira mu kizikiza ggwe omuwala w’Abakaludaaya,
tebakyakuyita kabaka omukazi
afuga obwakabaka obungi.
6 (F)Nnali nsunguwalidde abantu bange,
ne nyonoonesa omugabo gwange.
Nabawaayo mu mikono gyo,
n’otobasaasira n’akatono.
N’abakadde wabateekako ekikoligo ekinene ennyo.
7 (G)Wayogera nti,
‘Nzija kubeera kabaka omukazi emirembe gyonna,’
naye n’otolowooza ku bintu bino
wadde okulowooza ku kyali kigenda okubaawo.
8 (H)“Kale nno kaakano wuliriza kino,
ggwe awoomerwa amasanyu
ggwe ateredde mu mirembe gyo,
ng’oyogera mu mutima gwo nti,
‘Nze ndiwo era tewali mulala wabula nze.
Siribeera nnamwandu
wadde okufiirwa abaana.’
9 (I)Ebintu bino byombi birikutuukako mangu nnyo mu lunaku lumu,
eky’okufiirwa abaana
n’okufuuka nnamwandu.
Birikutuukako mu kigera kyabyo ekituufu,
newaakubadde obulogo bwo nga bungi okuyitirira,
n’eby’obufumu byo nga bigenze wala.
10 (J)Weesiga obutali butuukirivu bwo,
n’olowooza nti, ‘Siriiko annondoola.’
Amagezi go era n’okumanya kwo byakuwabya,
bwe wayogera nti, ‘Nze ndiwo, era teri mulala wabula nze.’
11 (K)Kyokka ensasagge erikujjira
era tolimanya ngeri yakugyeggyako;
n’okuzikirira kw’otoliyinza kweggyako na muwendo gwa nsimbi;
akabi k’otolirabirawo kalikutuukako amangu ddala.
12 (L)“Weeyongere nno n’obulogo bwo
n’obufumu bwo obwayinga obungi,
bwe wanyiikiriramu okuva mu buto bwo.
Oboolyawo olibaako kyoggyamu,
oboolyawo olikolawo ekyobulabe.
13 (M)Amagezi ago g’ofuna gakukooya bukooya.
Abalagulira ku munyeenye basembera,
n’abo abakebera emmunyeenye,
era aboogera ebiribaawo buli mwezi, babadduukirire mu bigenda okubatuukako.
14 (N)Laba, bali ng’ebisusunku
era omuliro gulibookya!
Tebalyewonya
maanyi ga muliro.
Tewaliiwo manda ga kukubugumya
wadde omuliro ogw’okwota!
15 (O)Ekyo kye bayinza okukukolera kyokka;
b’obonyeebonye nabo
b’oteganidde okuva mu buto bwo.
Buli muntu alikwata ekkubo lye nga yeeyongera okukola ebibi bye
era tewali n’omu ayinza okukulokola.”

Isaiah 47

The Fall of Babylon
47 “Go down, sit in the dust,(A)
Virgin Daughter(B) Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne,
queen city of the Babylonians.[a](C)
No more will you be called
tender or delicate.(D)
2 Take millstones(E) and grind(F) flour;
take off your veil.(G)
Lift up your skirts,(H) bare your legs,
and wade through the streams.
3 Your nakedness(I) will be exposed
and your shame(J) uncovered.
I will take vengeance;(K)
I will spare no one.(L)”
5 “Sit in silence,(Q) go into darkness,(R)
queen city of the Babylonians;(S)
no more will you be called
queen(T) of kingdoms.(U)
6 I was angry(V) with my people
and desecrated my inheritance;(W)
I gave them into your hand,(X)
and you showed them no mercy.(Y)
Even on the aged
you laid a very heavy yoke.
7 You said, ‘I am forever(Z)—
the eternal queen!’(AA)
But you did not consider these things
or reflect(AB) on what might happen.(AC)
8 “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure,
lounging in your security(AD)
and saying to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.(AE)
I will never be a widow(AF)
or suffer the loss of children.’
9 Both of these will overtake you
in a moment,(AG) on a single day:
loss of children(AH) and widowhood.(AI)
They will come upon you in full measure,
in spite of your many sorceries(AJ)
and all your potent spells.(AK)
10 You have trusted(AL) in your wickedness
and have said, ‘No one sees me.’(AM)
Your wisdom(AN) and knowledge mislead(AO) you
when you say to yourself,
‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11 Disaster(AP) will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly(AQ) come upon you.
12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
and with your many sorceries,(AR)
which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
perhaps you will cause terror.
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(AS)
Let your astrologers(AT) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
let them save(AU) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(AV)
the fire(AW) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
from the power of the flame.(AX)
These are not coals for warmth;
this is not a fire to sit by.
15 That is all they are to you—
these you have dealt with
and labored(AY) with since childhood.
All of them go on in their error;
there is not one that can save(AZ) you.
