2 (B)Abantu abaatambuliranga mu kizikiza

abo abaatuulanga mu nsi ey’ekizikiza ekingi,
omusana gubaakidde.
3 Oyazizza eggwanga,

ng’abasajja bwe basanyuka nga bagabana omunyago.[a]
4 (C)Nga ku lunaku Abamidiyaani lwe baawangulwa,
omenye ekikoligo ekyamuzitoowereranga,
n’ekiti eky’oku kibegabega kye,
n’oluga lw’oyo amunyigiriza.
5 (D)Kubanga buli ngatto ya mulwanyi ekozesebwa mu lutalo
na buli kyambalo ekibunye omusaayi,

6 (E)Kubanga omwana atuzaaliddwa ffe,
omwana owoobulenzi atuweereddwa ffe,
n’okufuga kunaabanga ku bibegabega bye.
N’erinnya lye aliyitibwa nti,
Wa kitalo, Omuwi w’amagezi, Katonda Ayinzabyonna,
Kitaffe ow’Emirembe Gyonna, Omulangira w’Emirembe.
7 (F)Okufuga kwe n’emirembe

Alifugira ku ntebe ya Dawudi ne ku bwakabaka bwe,
n’okubuwanirira n’obwenkanya n’obutuukirivu
okuva leero okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
Obumalirivu bwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye
bulikituukiriza ekyo.
Obusungu bwa Mukama Ku Isirayiri
8 Mukama yaweereza obubaka obukwata ku Yakobo,[b]
ku birituuka ku Isirayiri.
9 (G)Era abantu bonna balibumanya,
Efulayimu n’abantu b’omu Samaliya
aboogera n’amalala
n’omutima omukakanyavu,
10 nti, “Amatoffaali gagudde wansi
naye tulizimbya amayinja amateme,
emisukamooli gitemeddwawo
naye tulizzaawo emivule.”
11 (H)Mukama Katonda kyaliva awa abalabe ba Lezini amaanyi bamulumbe;
alibakumaakuma bamulumbe.
12 (I)Abasuuli balisinziira mu buvanjuba, n’Abafirisuuti bave ebugwanjuba,
balyoke basaanyeewo Isirayiri n’akamwa akaasamye.
Newaakubadde nga biri bityo, obusungu bwa Mukama buliba tebunnavaawo
era omukono gwe guliba gukyagoloddwa.
13 (J)Kubanga abantu tebakyuse kudda
wadde okunoonya Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye eyabakuba.
14 (K)Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda kyaliva asala ku Isirayiri, omutwe n’omukira,
ettabi n’olukindu mu lunaku lumu.
15 (L)Omutwe be bakadde n’abantu ab’ekitiibwa,
n’omukira be bannabbi abayigiriza eby’obulimba.
16 (M)Kubanga abakulembera abantu bano bababuzaabuuza,
n’abo abakulemberwa babuzibwabuzibwa.
17 (N)Noolwekyo, Mukama tajja kusanyukira bavubuka,
wadde okukwatirwa ekisa abo abataliiko ba kitaabwe wadde bannamwandu;
kubanga buli omu mukozi wa bibi,
era buli kamwa konna kogera eby’obuwemu.
Olwa bino byonna, obusungu bwa Mukama tebunakyusibwa kubavaako,
era omukono gwe gukyagoloddwa.
18 (O)Ddala ekibi kyokya ng’omuliro;
gumalawo emyeramannyo n’obusaana.
Era gukoleeza eby’omu kibira,
omukka ne gunyooka ne gutumbiira waggulu.
19 (P)Olw’obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye
ensi eggiiridde ddala,
era n’abantu bali ng’enku ez’okukuma omuliro,
tewali muntu alekawo muganda we.
20 (Q)Balimalawo eby’oku mukono ogwa ddyo,
naye balisigala bayala;
balirya n’eby’oku kkono,
naye tebalikkuta.
Buli omu alirya ku mubiri gw’ezzadde lye.
21 (R)Manase alirya Efulayimu ne Efulayimu n’alya Manase
ate bombi ne balya Yuda.
Naye wadde nga biri bityo, obusungu bwa Mukama buliba tebunnavaawo,
era n’omukono gwe guliba gukyagoloddwa.
Isaiah 9
New International Version
9 [a]Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom(A) for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,(B) but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—
2 The people walking in darkness(C)
have seen a great light;(D)
on those living in the land of deep darkness(E)
a light has dawned.(F)
3 You have enlarged the nation(G)
and increased their joy;(H)
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.(I)
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(J)
you have shattered(K)
the yoke(L) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(M)
the rod of their oppressor.(N)
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(O)
will be fuel for the fire.
6 For to us a child is born,(P)
to us a son is given,(Q)
and the government(R) will be on his shoulders.(S)
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor,(T) Mighty God,(U)
Everlasting(V) Father,(W) Prince of Peace.(X)
7 Of the greatness of his government(Y) and peace(Z)
there will be no end.(AA)
He will reign(AB) on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice(AC) and righteousness(AD)
from that time on and forever.(AE)
The zeal(AF) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
The Lord’s Anger Against Israel
8 The Lord has sent a message(AG) against Jacob;
it will fall on Israel.
9 All the people will know it—
Ephraim(AH) and the inhabitants of Samaria(AI)—
who say with pride
and arrogance(AJ) of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;(AK)
the fig(AL) trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars.(AM)”
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s(AN) foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans(AO) from the east and Philistines(AP) from the west
have devoured(AQ) Israel with open mouth.
13 But the people have not returned(AT) to him who struck(AU) them,
nor have they sought(AV) the Lord Almighty.
14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
both palm branch and reed(AW) in a single day;(AX)
15 the elders(AY) and dignitaries(AZ) are the head,
the prophets(BA) who teach lies(BB) are the tail.
16 Those who guide(BC) this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.(BD)
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,(BE)
nor will he pity(BF) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly(BG) and wicked,(BH)
every mouth speaks folly.(BI)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(BJ)
18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(BK)
it consumes briers and thorns,(BL)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(BM)
so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(BN) of the Lord Almighty
the land will be scorched(BO)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(BP)
they will not spare one another.(BQ)
20 On the right they will devour,
but still be hungry;(BR)
on the left they will eat,(BS)
but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[b]:
21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;(BT)
together they will turn against Judah.(BU)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(BV)
