Jezekiel 22
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, declare thou to her all her iniquities.
“Omwana w’omuntu, olikisalira omusango? Olisalira omusango ekibuga ekiyiwa omusaayi? Kale mulumbe wakati mu bikolwa bye byonna eby’ekivve;
3 And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord God: O city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time should come, and that forms devices against herself, to defile herself;
mugambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ggwe ekibuga ekittira abantu mu kyo era ekyeyonoonesa olwa bakatonda abalala be beekolera, weeleeseeko wekka ekivume,
4 in their blood which thou hast shed, thou hast transgressed; and in thy devices which thou hast formed, thou hast polluted thyself; and thou hast brought nigh thy days, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all the countries,
era osingiddwa olw’omusaayi gw’oyiye era weeyonoonyesezza olwa bakatonda abalala be weekolera. Ennaku zo ozikomekkerezza, enkomerero ye myaka gyo etuuse. Kyendiva nkuswaza eri amawanga, n’ofuuka eky’okusekererwa eri ensi zonna.
5 to those near thee, and to those far distant from thee; and they shall mock thee, [thou that art] notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.
Abali okumpi n’abali ewala balikukudaalira, ggwe ekibuga ekinyoomebwa era ekijjudde emivuyo.
6 Behold, the princes of the house of Israel have conspired in thee each one with his kindred, that they might shed blood.
“‘Laba, buli mulangira wa Isirayiri bw’akozesa obuyinza bwe okuyiwa omusaayi.
7 In thee they have reviled father and mother; and in thee they have behaved unjustly toward the stranger: they have oppressed the orphan and widow.
Bataata ne bamaama banyoomebwa, era n’abagenyi mu mmwe banyigirizibwa, era babonyaabonya bamulekwa ne bannamwandu.
8 And they have set at nought my holy things, and in thee they have profaned my sabbaths.
Munyoomye ebintu byange ebitukuvu, ne mwonoona Ssabbiiti zange.
9 [There are] robbers in thee, to shed blood in thee; and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: they have wrought ungodliness in the midst of thee.
Mu mmwe mulimu abantu abawaayiriza abaamalirira okuyiwa omusaayi, era mulimu n’abo abaliira ku nsozi, ne bakola eby’obugwagwa.
10 In thee they have uncovered the father's shame; and in thee they have humbled her that was set apart for uncleanness.
Era mu mmwe mulimu abajerega obwereere bwa bakitaabwe, era mulimu n’abo abeebaka n’abakazi abali mu nsonga zaabwe ez’abakazi nga si balongoofu.
11 They have dealt unlawfully each one with his neighbor's wife; and each one in ungodliness has defiled his daughter-in-law: and in thee they have humbled each one his sister, the daughter of his father.
Mu mmwe mulimu omusajja akola ebibi eby’obwenzi ne muka muliraanwa we, omulala n’ayonoonyesa muka mwana mu buswavu, ate omulala n’akwata mwannyina muwala wa kitaawe.
12 In thee they have received gifts to shed blood; they have received in thee interest and usurious increase; and by oppression thou hast brought thy wickedness to the full, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord.
Mu mmwe mulimu abantu abalya enguzi okuyiwa omusaayi, ne basolooza amagoba agasukkiridde ne bafuna ekisukkiridde okuva ku baliraanwa baabwe mu ngeri ey’obukumpanya, era munneerabidde, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
13 And if I shall smite my hand at [thine iniquities] which thou hast accomplished, which thou hast wrought, and at thy blood that has been shed in the midst of thee,
“‘Kale nno ndikuba mu ngalo olw’amagoba agatasaanidde ge mukoze n’omusaayi ogwayiyibwa wakati mu mmwe.
14 shall thy heart endure? shall thine hands be strong in the days which I bring upon thee? I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
Obuvumu bwo bulibeerera, oba emikono gyo giriba n’amaanyi olunaku lwe ndikubonereza? Nze Mukama nkyogedde, era ndikikola.
15 And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and thy uncleanness shall be removed out of thee.
Ndibabunya mu mawanga ne mbasaasaanya mu nsi, era ndikomya obutali bulongoofu bwo.
16 And I will give heritages in thee in the sight of the nations, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Bw’oliggwaamu ekitiibwa mu maaso g’amawanga, olimanya nga Nze Mukama.’”
17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
18 Son of man, behold, the house of Israel are all become to me [as it were] mixed with brass, and iron, and tin, and lead; they are mixed up in the midst of the silver.
“Omwana w’omuntu, ennyumba ya Isirayiri efuuse amasengere gye ndi; bonna bali ng’ebikomo, masasi, n’ebyuma ebisigalira wansi mu kikoomi ky’ekyokero. Bali ng’amasengere ga ffeeza.
19 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have become one mixture, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, ‘Kubanga mwenna mufuuse masengere, kyendiva mbakuŋŋaanya ne mbateeka wakati mu Yerusaalemi.
20 As silver, and brass, and iron, and tin, and lead, are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow fire into it, that they may be melted: so will I take [you] in my wrath, and I will gather and melt you.
Ng’omuntu bw’okuŋŋaanya effeeza, n’ebikomo, n’ebyuma, n’amasasi mu kyokero okubisaanuusa n’omuliro ogw’amaanyi, nange bwe ntyo bwe ndibakuŋŋaanya nga ndiko obusungu n’ekiruyi, ne mbateeka mu kibuga ne mbasaanuusa.
21 And I will blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
Ndibakuŋŋaanya, ne mbafukuta mu muliro ogw’ekiruyi kyange, ne musaanuukira munda mu kyo.
22 As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath upon you.
Era ng’effeeza bw’esaanuusibwa mu kyokero, nammwe bwe mutyo bwe mulisaanuusibwa munda mu kyo, era mulimanya nga Nze Mukama mbafuseeko ekiruyi kyange.’”
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nate, n’aŋŋamba nti,
24 Son of man, say to her, Thou art the land that is not rained upon, neither has rain come upon thee in the day of wrath;
“Omwana w’omuntu, yogera eri ensi nti, ‘Ggwe oli nsi eteri nongoose, era etetonnyebwako nkuba ku lunaku olw’ekiruyi.’
25 whose princes in the midst of her are as roaring lions seizing prey, devouring souls by oppression, and taking bribes; and thy widows are multiplied in the midst of thee.
Bannabbi b’ensi balina enkwe, bali ng’empologoma ewuluguma etaagulataagula omuyiggo gwayo; bavaabira abantu, ne batwala eby’obugagga n’ebintu eby’omuwendo, ne bafuula abakazi bangi mu kyo okuba bannamwandu.
26 Her priests also have set at nought my law, and profaned my holy things: they have not distinguished between the holy and profane, nor have they distinguished between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.
Bakabona baakyo bajeemedde amateeka gange era boonoonye ebintu byange ebitukuvu; tebaawuddeemu bitukuvu na bya bulijjo; bayigiriza nti tewali njawulo wakati wa bitali birongoofu n’ebirongoofu, so tebassaayo mwoyo okukuuma Ssabbiiti zange, ne banswaza Nze mu bo.
27 Her princes in the midst of her are as wolves ravening to shed blood, that they may get dishonest gain.
Abakungu baakyo bali ng’emisege egitaagulataagula omuyiggo gwagyo; bayiwa omusaayi ne batta abantu okukola amagoba mu butali bwenkanya.
28 And her prophets that daub them shall fall, that see vanities, that prophesy falsehoods, saying, Thus saith the Lord, when the Lord has not spoken.
Bannabbi baakyo bakkiriza ebikolwa ebyo, nga babalimba n’okwolesebwa okukyamu n’okuwa obunnabbi obw’obulimba, nga boogera nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda,’ so nga Mukama tayogedde.
29 That sorely oppress the people of the land with injustice, and commit robbery; oppressing the poor and needy, and not dealing justly with the stranger.
Abantu ab’omu nsi bakola eby’obukumpanya ne babba; banyigiriza omwavu ne babonyaabonya ne munnaggwanga ne batabasalira musango mu bwenkanya.
30 And I sought from among them a man behaving uprightly, and standing before me perfectly in the time of wrath, so that I should not utterly destroy her: but I found [him] not.
“Ne nnoonya omuntu mu bo ayinza okuzimba ekisenge era ayinza okubeeyimiririra mu maaso gange ku lw’ensi, naye ne siraba n’omu.
31 So I have poured out my wrath upon her in the fury of mine anger, to accomplish [it]. I have recompensed their ways on their own heads, saith the Lord God.
Kyendiva mbayiwako ekiruyi kyange, ne mbamalawo n’omuliro ogw’obusungu bwange, ne mbaleetako ebyo byonna bye baakola,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
