Jezekiel 7
1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, you, son of man, say,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nti,
2 Thus says the Lord; An end is come to the land of Israel, the end is come on the four corners of the land.
“Omwana w’omuntu, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri ensi ya Isirayiri nti: “‘Enkomerero! Enkomerero etuuse ku nsonda ennya ez’ensi.
3 The end is come on you,
Enkomerero ebatuuseeko era ndibasumulurira obusungu bwange, ne mbasalira omusango ng’engeri zammwe bwe ziri era ndibabonereza ng’ebikolwa byammwe eby’ekkive byonna bwe biri.
4 the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn near, not with tumult, nor with pangs.
Siribatunuulira na liiso lya kisa newaakubadde okubasonyiwa; naye ndibasasula ng’engeri zammwe, n’ebikolwa byammwe eby’ekkive bwe biri mu mmwe. Mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama.’
5 Now I will pour out my anger upon you near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on you: and I will judge you for your ways, and recompense upon you all your abominations.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: “‘Okuzikirizibwa okutali kumu laba kujja.
6 Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike [you].
Enkomerero etuuse, enkomerero etuuse! Ebagolokokeddeko era ejja.
7 Now the end [is come] to you, and I will send [judgement] upon you: and I will take vengeance on your ways, and will recompense all your abominations upon you.
Akabi kabajjidde, mmwe abatuuze. Ekiseera kituuse era olunaku luli kumpi, olunaku olw’okutya so si olw’okujaguliriza ku nsozi.
8 Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your way upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Nnaatera okubalaga obusungu bwange, n’ekiruyi kyange. Ndibasalira omusango ng’enneeyisa yammwe bw’eri, ne mbasasula ng’ebikolwa byammwe byonna eby’ekkive bwe biri.
9 For thus says the Lord; Behold, the end is come.
Siribatunuulira na liiso lya kisa newaakubadde okubasonyiwa. Ndibabonereza ng’engeri zammwe bwe ziri n’ebikolwa byammwe eby’ekkive bwe biri mu mmwe. Mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama Katonda, era mbonereza.
10 Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed,
“‘Olunaku luuluno lutuuse. Akabi kabajjidde, obutali bwenkanya bumeze, n’amalala gamulisizza.
11 pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and [that] not with tumult, nor with haste.
Obusungu bweyongedde ne bufuuka omuggo okubonereza obutali butuukirivu; tewaliba n’omu alisigalawo; tewaliba n’omu ku kibiina newaakubadde ku byobugagga byabwe, newaakubadde eky’omuwendo.
12 The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn.
Ekiseera kituuse, n’olunaku lutuuse. Agula aleme okusanyukirira, n’oyo atunda aleme okunakuwala, kubanga obusungu bubuubuukidde ku kibiina kyonna.
13 For the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye [of hope] to his life.
Atunda taliddizibwa kintu kye yatunda, bombi bwe banaaba nga bakyali balamu. Kubanga okubonerezebwa kuli ku kibiina kyonna so tekukyajulukuka. Era olw’ebibi byabwe tewaliba n’omu aliwonya obulamu bwe.
14 Sound you the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together.
“‘Ne bwe balifuuwa ekkondeere ne bateekateeka buli kimu, tewaliba n’omu aligenda mu lutalo, kubanga obusungu bwange bubuubuukidde ku kibiina kyonna.
15 [There shall be] war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city.
Ebweru waliyo ekitala ne munda waliyo kawumpuli n’enjala. Abali ku ttale balifa kitala, abali mu kibuga balimalibwawo kawumpuli n’enjala.
16 But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will kill all [the rest], every one for his iniquities.
N’abo abaliwonawo baliddukira mu nsozi, nga bakaaba nga bukaamukuukulu obw’omu biwonvu, buli omu olw’ebibi bye.
17 All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture.
Emikono gyonna giriremala, n’amaviivi gonna galiba ng’amazzi.
18 And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, [even] upon every face, and baldness upon every head.
Balyambala ebibukutu, ne bakwatibwa ensisi; baliswala, n’emitwe gyabwe girimwebwa.
19 Their silver shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities.
“‘Balisuula effeeza yaabwe mu nguudo, ne zaabu yaabwe eriba ekitali kirongoofu; effeeza yaabwe ne zaabu yaabwe tebiriyinza kubalokola ku lunaku lwa Mukama olw’obusungu bwe. Era tebalikkuta newaakubadde okukkusibwa. Ebyo bye byabaleetera okugwa mu kibi.
20 [As for] their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them.
Ebintu byabwe eby’omuwendo byabaleetera amalala, era ekyavaamu kwe kukola bakatonda abalala ab’emizizo n’ebintu ebirala eby’ekivve, era kyendiva mbifuula ebitali birongoofu gye bali.
21 And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them.
Ndibiwaayo byonna eri bannamawanga n’eri abakozi b’ebibi ab’omu nsi okuba omunyago era balibyonoona.
22 And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them.
Ndikyusa amaaso gange ne si batunuulira, era balyonoona ekifo kyange eky’omuwendo; n’abanyazi balikiyingiramu ne bakyonoona.
23 And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity.
“‘Muteeketeeke enjegere kubanga ensi ejjudde omusango ogw’okuyiwa omusaayi, n’ekibuga kijjudde effujjo.
24 And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled.
Ndireeta eggwanga erisingirayo ddala okuba ebbi, ne batwala ennyumba zaabwe, era ndikomya amalala gaabwe n’ebifo byabwe ebitukuvu biryonoonebwa.
25 And [though] propitiation shall come, and [one] shall seek peace, yet there shall be none.
Entiisa bw’erijja, balinoonya emirembe naye tebaligifuna.
26 There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
Akabi kalyeyongera ku kabi, ne ŋŋambo ne zeeyongera; balinoonya okwolesebwa okuva eri nnabbi, naye okuyigirizibwa kwa kabona kulibula n’okubuulirira kw’abakadde kulyerabirwa.
27 The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgements will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Kabaka alikaaba, n’omulangira alijjula obuyinike, n’emikono gy’abantu mu ggwanga girikankana olw’entiisa. Ndibakolako ng’enneeyisa yaabwe bw’eri, era ndibasalira omusango ng’ensala yaabwe bw’eri. Balyoke bamanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.’”
