Obufuzi bwa Mukama eri Amawanga Gonna

(A)Mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma
    olusozi lw’ennyumba ya Mukama luligulumizibwa
    okusinga ensozi zonna;
lulisitulibwa waggulu okusukkuluma ku busozi,
    era abantu balisimba ennyiriri nga balaga gye luli.

(B)Amawanga mangi galiragayo ne googera nti,

“Mujje twambuke ku lusozi lwa Mukama,
    mu nnyumba ya Katonda wa Yakobo.
Alituyigiriza by’ayagala
    tulyoke tutambulire mu makubo ge.”
Alisinziira mu Sayuuni okuwa abantu etteeka lye,
    n’ekigambo kya Mukama kiriva mu Yerusaalemi.
(C)Aliramula amawanga
    atereeze ensonga wakati w’amawanga gakirimaanyi ag’ewala.
Baliddira ebitala byabwe ne babiweesaamu enkumbi,
    n’amafumu gaabwe ne bagaweesaamu ebiwabyo.
Eggwanga teririyimusa kitala ku ggwanga linnaalyo,
    so tebalyetegeka kulwana ntalo nate.
(D)Buli muntu aliba mu ddembe wansi w’omuzabbibu gwe
    ne mu mutiini gwe.
Tewalibaawo abatiisa
    kubanga akamwa ka Mukama Ayinzabyonna ke kakyogedde.
(E)Newaakubadde nga amawanga gonna
    galigoberera bakatonda baago,
naye ffe tunaatambuliranga mu linnya lya Mukama
    Katonda waffe emirembe n’emirembe.

Isirayiri ewona Obusibe

(F)“Ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama,

“Ndikuŋŋaanya abalema,
    n’abo abaawaŋŋangusibwa
    n’abo abali mu nnaku.
(G)Abalema ndibafuula abalonde,
    n’abo be nagoba, mbafuule eggwanga ery’amaanyi.
Mukama alibafugira mu Lusozi Sayuuni
    okuva ku lunaku olwo okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
(H)Ggwe omunaala oguyimirirwamu okulabirira endiga,
    ggwe ekigo eky’amaanyi ekya Muwala wa Sayuuni,
ekitiibwa kyo eky’edda kirikuddira,
    n’obwakabaka ne bukomawo eri Muwala wa Sayuuni.”

(I)Naye kaakano kiki ekibakaabya ennyo bwe mutyo?
    Temulina kabaka abakulembera?
Omuwi w’amagezi wammwe yafa,
    ennaku eryoke ebakwate ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala?
10 (J)Lumwa, weenyoole ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni
    ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
Kubanga kaakano oteekwa okuva mu kibuga
    ogende obeere ku ttale.
Mulitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse mu Babulooni,
    era eyo gye ndibalokolera.
Ndibanunulira eyo
    okuva mu mukono gw’omulabe.

11 (K)Kyokka kaakano amawanga mangi
    gakuŋŋaanye okubalwanyisa.
Boogera nti, Ayonoonebwe,
    n’amaaso gaffe geelolere Sayuuni.
12 (L)Naye tebamanyi
    birowoozo bya Mukama;
tebategeera kuteesa kwe;
    oyo akuŋŋaanya abalabe be ng’ebinywa by’eŋŋaano bwe bikuŋŋaanyizibwa mu gguuliro.

13 (M)“Golokoka otandike okusa ggwe Omuwala wa Sayuuni,
    kubanga ejjembe lyo ndirifuula ekyuma;
ndikuwa ebigere eby’ekyuma eky’ekikomo
    era olibetenta amawanga mangi.”

Amagoba gaabwe n’ebintu byabwe bye bafunye mu makubo amakyamu olibiwaayo eri Mukama,
    n’obugagga bwabwe n’obuwaayo eri Mukama w’ensi zonna.

The Mountain of the Lord(A)

In the last days

the mountain(B) of the Lord’s temple will be established
    as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,(C)
    and peoples will stream to it.(D)

Many nations will come and say,

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,(E)
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.(F)
He will teach us(G) his ways,(H)
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law(I) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He will judge between many peoples
    and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide.(J)
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.(K)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
    nor will they train for war(L) anymore.(M)
Everyone will sit under their own vine
    and under their own fig tree,(N)
and no one will make them afraid,(O)
    for the Lord Almighty has spoken.(P)
All the nations may walk
    in the name of their gods,(Q)
but we will walk in the name of the Lord
    our God for ever and ever.(R)

The Lord’s Plan

“In that day,” declares the Lord,

“I will gather the lame;(S)
    I will assemble the exiles(T)
    and those I have brought to grief.(U)
I will make the lame my remnant,(V)
    those driven away a strong nation.(W)
The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion(X)
    from that day and forever.(Y)
As for you, watchtower of the flock,
    stronghold[a] of Daughter Zion,
the former dominion will be restored(Z) to you;
    kingship will come to Daughter Jerusalem.(AA)

Why do you now cry aloud—
    have you no king[b](AB)?
Has your ruler[c] perished,
    that pain seizes you like that of a woman in labor?(AC)
10 Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion,
    like a woman in labor,
for now you must leave the city
    to camp in the open field.
You will go to Babylon;(AD)
    there you will be rescued.
There the Lord will redeem(AE) you
    out of the hand of your enemies.

11 But now many nations
    are gathered against you.
They say, “Let her be defiled,
    let our eyes gloat(AF) over Zion!”
12 But they do not know
    the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,(AG)
    that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 “Rise and thresh,(AH) Daughter Zion,
    for I will give you horns of iron;
I will give you hooves of bronze,
    and you will break to pieces many nations.”(AI)
You will devote their ill-gotten gains to the Lord,(AJ)
    their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
