Mukube ebiwoobe, mmwe ebyombo by’e Talusiisi,

Ekigambo kyababikulirwa

2 Musirike mmwe ab’oku kizinga

Sirabiriranga baana babulenzi newaakubadde okukuza abaana aboobuwala.”
5 Ekigambo bwe kirijja eri Misiri,

8 Ani eyateekateeka kino okutuuka ku Tuulo,

ekibuga ekirina abasuubuzi abalangira,
ekirina abasuubuzi abamanyifu mu nsi?
9 (E)Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye yakiteekateeka,
amuggyemu amalala n’ekitiibwa kyonna,
akkakkanye n’abo bonna abamanyifu ku nsi.
10 Ne bw’otambula ku lukalu lwonna olw’omugga Kiyira,

12 (G)Yayogera nti, “Tokyaddayo kukola bya masanyu nate,
ggwe muwala wa Sidoni embeerera obetenteddwa.
Yambuka osomoke ogende e Kittimu,
naye nayo tolifunirayo kuwummula.”
13 (H)Laba ensi ey’Abakaludaaya

Omwasuli agifudde
ekifo ekibeeramu ensolo ez’omu ddungu.
Baayimusa eminaala gyabwe,
ne bamenya ebigo byabwe,
era n’abazikiriza.
14 Mukube ebiwoobe mmwe ebyombo by’e Talusiisi,
ekigo kyo kizikiriziddwa.
15 (I)Mu biro ebyo Tuulo kiryerabirwa okumala emyaka nsanvu, gy’emyaka kabaka gy’awangaala. Naye oluvannyuma lw’emyaka egyo ensanvu, ekirituuka ku Tuulo kiriba ng’ekiri mu luyimba olw’omwenzi.
16 “Kwata ennanga, otambulire mu kibuga,
ggwe omwenzi eyeerabiddwa.
Ennanga gikube bulungi,
oyimbe ennyimba nnyingi olyoke ojjukirwe.”
17 (J)Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka ensanvu, Mukama alikyalira Tuulo. Aliddayo ku mulimu gwe ogw’obwamalaaya, era alibukola mu bwakabaka bwonna obuli ku nsi. 18 (K)Wabula amagoba ge ne byalifunamu biriyawulibwako bibe bya Mukama, tebiriterekebwa newaakubadde okukwekebwa, omuntu okubikozesa by’ayagala. Amagoba ge galigenda eri abo ababeera mu maaso ga Mukama, basobole okuba n’emmere emala, n’okuba n’ebyambalo ebirungi.
Isaiah 23
New International Version
A Prophecy Against Tyre
23 A prophecy against Tyre:(A)
Wail,(B) you ships(C) of Tarshish!(D)
For Tyre is destroyed(E)
and left without house or harbor.
From the land of Cyprus
word has come to them.
2 Be silent,(F) you people of the island
and you merchants(G) of Sidon,(H)
whom the seafarers have enriched.
3 On the great waters
came the grain of the Shihor;(I)
the harvest of the Nile[a](J) was the revenue of Tyre,(K)
and she became the marketplace of the nations.
4 Be ashamed, Sidon,(L) and you fortress of the sea,
for the sea has spoken:
“I have neither been in labor nor given birth;(M)
I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters.”
5 When word comes to Egypt,
they will be in anguish(N) at the report from Tyre.(O)
6 Cross over to Tarshish;(P)
wail, you people of the island.
7 Is this your city of revelry,(Q)
the old, old city,
whose feet have taken her
to settle in far-off lands?
8 Who planned this against Tyre,
the bestower of crowns,
whose merchants(R) are princes,
whose traders(S) are renowned in the earth?
9 The Lord Almighty planned(T) it,
to bring down(U) her pride in all her splendor
and to humble(V) all who are renowned(W) on the earth.
10 Till[b] your land as they do along the Nile,
Daughter Tarshish,
for you no longer have a harbor.
11 The Lord has stretched out his hand(X) over the sea
and made its kingdoms tremble.(Y)
He has given an order concerning Phoenicia
that her fortresses be destroyed.(Z)
12 He said, “No more of your reveling,(AA)
Virgin Daughter(AB) Sidon, now crushed!
“Up, cross over to Cyprus;(AC)
even there you will find no rest.”
13 Look at the land of the Babylonians,[c](AD)
this people that is now of no account!
The Assyrians(AE) have made it
a place for desert creatures;(AF)
they raised up their siege towers,(AG)
they stripped its fortresses bare
and turned it into a ruin.(AH)
15 At that time Tyre(AL) will be forgotten for seventy years,(AM) the span of a king’s life. But at the end of these seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:
16 “Take up a harp, walk through the city,
you forgotten prostitute;(AN)
play the harp well, sing many a song,
so that you will be remembered.”
17 At the end of seventy years,(AO) the Lord will deal with Tyre. She will return to her lucrative prostitution(AP) and will ply her trade with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.(AQ) 18 Yet her profit and her earnings will be set apart for the Lord;(AR) they will not be stored up or hoarded. Her profits will go to those who live before the Lord,(AS) for abundant food and fine clothes.(AT)
