Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy; and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?
“Omwana w’omuntu, yogera ebyobunnabbi eri abasumba ba Isirayiri, obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Zibasanze abasumba ba Isirayiri abeefaako bokka. Abasumba tebasaanye kuliisa ndiga?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool; ye kill them that are fattened: [but] ye feed not the flock.
Mulya amasavu, ne mwambala ebyoya, ne mutta ensolo ensava, naye temufaayo ku bisibo.
4 The weak have ye not strengthened, nor have ye healed the sick, and ye have not bound up [what was] broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought for that which was lost; but with harshness and with rigour have ye ruled over them.
Ennafu temuzizzaamu maanyi, so n’endwadde temuzijjanjabye, so n’ezirumizibbwa temusibye biwundu byazo, so n’ezibuze temuzikomezzaawo, naye muzifuze n’amaanyi.
5 And they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Kyezaava zisaasaana, kubanga tezaalina musumba, ne ziba kya kulya eri ensolo enkambwe zonna ez’omu nsiko.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill, and my sheep have been scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none that searched, or that sought for them.
Endiga zange zaasaasaana, ne zibuna ku nsozi zonna na ku buli kasozi akawanvu, ne zisaasaana okubuna ensi yonna, ne zibulwako azinoonya wadde okuzibuuliriza.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
“‘Noolwekyo mmwe abasumba, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama:
8 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because my sheep have been a prey, and my sheep have been meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds searched not for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock,
Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, olw’endiga zange okufuuka omuyiggo, n’ekyokulya eri ensolo enkambwe zonna, kubanga tezirina musumba, ate era n’abasumba ne batazinoonya, naye ne beefaako bokka, ne bataliisa ndiga zange,
9 — therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
kale mmwe abasumba muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama.
10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock: that the shepherds may feed themselves no more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nnina ensonga ku basumba, era ndibavunaana olw’ekisibo kyange. Ndibaggyako okulabirira endiga mulekeraawo okuzifuula ekyokulya. Ndiwonya endiga zange mu kamwa kaabwe, zireme okuba ekyokulya kyabwe.
11 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, [even] I, will both search for my sheep, and tend them.
“‘Era bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nze kennyini ndinoonya endiga zange ne nzirabirira.
12 As a shepherd tendeth his flock in the day that he is among his scattered sheep, so will I tend my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Ng’omusumba bw’alabirira ekisibo kye ng’ezimu ku ndiga zisaasaanye okumuvaako, bwe ntyo bwe ndizirabirira. Ndiziggya mu bifo byonna gye zaasaasaanira ku lunaku olw’ebire olw’ekizikiza.
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the water-courses, and in all the habitable places of the country.
Ndiziggya mu mawanga ne nzikuŋŋaanya mu nsi gye zaasaasaanira ne nzikomyawo mu nsi yaazo. Ndiziriisiza ku nsozi za Isirayiri okumpi n’enzizi ne mu bifo byonna ebibeerwamu mu nsi.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Ndizirabiririra mu ddundiro eddungi ne ku ntikko z’ensozi za Isirayiri we zirirundirwa. Eyo gye zirigalamira mu ddundiro eddungi era gye ziririira omuddo omugimu ku nsozi za Isirayiri.
15 I will myself feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Nze kennyini ndirabirira endiga zange, ne nzigalamiza wansi mirembe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
16 I will seek the lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up the broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong: I will feed them with judgment.
Ndinoonya ezaabula, ne nkomyawo ezaawaba. Ndigyanjaba ezaalumizibwa, ne ŋŋumya ennafu, naye ensava era ez’amaanyi ndizizikiriza. Ndirunda ekisibo mu bwenkanya.
17 And as for you, my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between the rams and the he-goats.
“‘Nammwe ekisibo kyange, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndisala omusango wakati w’endiga emu ne ginnaayo ne wakati w’endiga ennume n’embuzi.
18 Is it too small a thing unto you to have eaten up the good pastures, but ye must tread down with your feet the rest of your pastures; and to have drunk of the settled waters, but ye must foul the rest with your feet?
Tekibamala okulya omuddo? Kale ate lwaki mulinnyirira ogusigaddewo mu ddundiro, nga n’okunywa mwanywa amazzi amayonjo, naye ne musiikuula agaasigalawo n’ebigere byammwe!
19 And my sheep have to eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and to drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Olwo endiga zange zirye bye mwalinnyirira n’okunywa zinywe amazzi ge mwasiikuula n’ebigere byammwe?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, [it is] I, and I will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
“‘Mukama Katonda kyava abagamba nti, Laba, nze kennyini ndisala omusango wakati w’endiga ensava n’endiga enkovvu.
21 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak ones with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,
Kubanga mwewaana nga muyimusa ebifuba ne musindikiriza ennafu zonna ne muzitomera n’amayembe gammwe okutuusa lwe muzifulumya ebweru,
22 — I will save my flock, that they may no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
ndiwonyawo ekisibo kyange so teziriba nate muyiggo. Ndisala omusango mu bwenkanya wakati w’endiga n’endiga.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Ndiziwa omusumba omu, omuweereza wange Dawudi, alizirunda; alizirabirira era aliba musumba waabwe.
24 And I Jehovah will be their God, and my servant David a prince in their midst: I Jehovah have spoken [it].
Nze Mukama ndiba Katonda waabwe, n’omuddu wange Dawudi aliba mulangira mu bo. Nze Mukama njogedde.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell in safety in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
“‘Ndikola endagaano yange ezisuubiza emirembe, era ndigoba mu nsi ensolo enkambwe, zibeerenga mu ddungu era zeebakenga mu bibira mirembe nga tezirumbibwa.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season: there shall be showers of blessing.
Ndiziwa omukisa wamu n’ebifo ebyetoolodde akasozi kange, era ndibatonnyeseza enkuba mu ntuuko yaayo; walibaawo enkuba ey’omukisa.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase; and they shall be in safety in their land, and shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those that kept them in servitude.
Emiti egy’omu ttale girireeta ebibala byagyo, n’ettaka lirimeza ebimera byalyo, era n’abantu balituula mirembe mu nsi yaabwe. Balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndimenya ebisiba eby’ekikoligo kyabwe ne mbawonya mu mukono gwabwo abaabafuula abaddu.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, and none shall make them afraid.
Teziriba munyago nate eri amawanga, so n’ensolo enkambwe tezirizitaagulataagula. Zirituula mirembe so tewaliba muntu n’omu azitiisatiisa.
29 And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the ignominy of the nations any more.
Ndiziwa ensi emanyiddwa olw’ebirime byayo, zireme okulumwa enjala nate mu nsi newaakubadde okunyoomebwa amawanga.
30 And they shall know that I Jehovah their God [am] with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Era zirimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda waazo, ndi wamu nazo, era nga zo, ennyumba ya Isirayiri, bantu bange, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
31 And ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men: I [am] your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Mmwe ndiga zange, endiga ez’eddundiro lyange, muli bantu bange, era nze ndi Katonda wammwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
