Ezekiel 16

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,

2 Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.

“Omwana w’omuntu manyisa Yerusaalemi ebikolwa bye eby’ekivve,

3 And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy root, and thy nativity is of the land of Chanaan, thy father was an Amorrhite, and thy mother a Cethite.

oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri Yerusaalemi: Wasibuka era n’ozaalibwa mu nsi ey’Abakanani; Kitaawo yali Mwamoli, ne nnyoko nga Mukiiti.

4 And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel wits not cut, neither wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts.

Ku lunaku kwe wazaalirwa, tewasalibwa kkundi, so tewanaazibwa na mazzi kutukula, newaakubadde okusiigibwa omunnyo, newaakubadde okubikkibwa mu ngoye.

5 No eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born.

Tewali yakusaasira so tewali yakukwatirwa kisa kukukolera ebintu ebyo byonna, naye wasuulibwa ebweru ku ttale, kubanga wanyoomebwa okuva ku lunaku kwe wazaalirwa.

6 And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood. and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood.

“‘Bwe nnali nga mpitaayita ne nkulaba ng’osambagala mu musaayi gwo, ne nkugamba nti, “Ba mulamu!”

7 I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field: and thou didst increase and grow great, and advancedst, and camest to woman’s ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: and thou wast naked, and full of confusion.

Ne nkukuza ne nkulabirira ng’ekimuli mu nnimiro. N’okula n’owanvuwa n’olabika bulungi nnyo mu maaso ng’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi; n’osuna amabeere, n’enviiri zo ne zikula, ggwe eyali obwereere nga tobikkiddwako.

8 And I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold thy time was the time of lovers: and I spread my garment over thee, and covered thy ignominy. And I swore to thee, and I entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God: and thou becamest mine.

“‘Oluvannyuma lwa bbanga, bwe nnali nga mpitaayita, ne nkulengera ne ndaba ng’okuze era ng’otuuse okufumbirwa, ne nkwaliirako ekirenge kyange ne mbikka ku bwereere bwo; ne nkulayirira ne nkola naawe endagaano, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, n’ofuuka wange.

9 And I washed thee with water, and cleansed away thy blood from thee: and I anointed thee with oil.

“‘Ne nkunaaza n’amazzi, ne nkunaazaako omusaayi, ne nkusiigako amafuta.

10 And I clothed thee with embroidery, and shed thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and clothed thee with fine garments.

Ne nkwambaza olugoye oluliko omudalizo, ne nkuwa n’engatto ez’amaliba; ne nkwambaza olugoye olwa linena ne nkubikkako engoye ez’omuwendo omungi.

11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thy hands, and a chain about thy neck.

Ne kunaanika amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi; ne nkuteeka ebikomo ku mukono, n’omukuufu mu bulago,

12 And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.

ne nkuteeka empeta mu nnyindo, n’eby’omu matu ku matu, ne nkutikkira n’engule ku mutwe.

13 And thou wast adorned with gold, and silver, and wast clothed with fine linen, and embroidered work, and many colours: thou didst eat fine hour, and honey, and oil, and wast made exceeding beautiful: and wast advanced to be a queen.

Wayonjebwa ne zaabu n’effeeza, n’engoye zo zaali za linena, n’ebyambalo byo byali byamuwendo mungi era nga biriko omudalizo. Walyanga emmere ey’obutta obulungi, n’omubisi gw’enjuki n’omuzigo ogw’omuzeyituuni. Walungiwa nnyo n’otuuka ku mwaliiro ery’obwa kabaka omukazi.

14 And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.

Ettutumu lyo lyabuna mu mawanga olw’obulungi bwo, kubanga nakuwa ekitiibwa kyange, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.

15 But trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every passenger, to be his.

“‘Naye weesiga obulungi bwo, n’okozesa ettutumu lyo okukola obwenzi, n’ofuka obukaba bwo ku buli eyayitangawo obulungi bwo ne bufuuka bubwe.

16 And taking of thy garments thou hast made thee high places sewed together on each side: and hast played the harlot upon them, as hath not been done before, nor shall be hereafter.

Waddira ebimu ku byambalo byo ne weekolera ebifo ebigulumivu nga byamabala mangi, gye wakoleranga obwenzi bwo. Ebintu bwe bityo tebikolebwa, era tebikolebwanga.

17 And thou tookest thy beautiful vessels, of my gold, and my silver, which I gave thee, and thou madest thee images of men, and hast committed fornication with them.

Ate era waddira emikuufu emirungi gye nnali nkuwadde, egyakolebwa mu zaabu n’effeeza bye nakuwa, ne weekolera bakatonda abalala abali mu bifaananyi eby’ekisajja, bw’otyo n’okola eby’obwenzi nabyo,

18 And thou tookest thy garments of divers colours, and coveredst them: and settest my oil and my sweet incense before them.

n’oddira ebyambalo byo ebiriko emidalizo n’obibikkako, n’oteeka omuzigo gwange n’obubaane bwange mu maaso gaabyo.

19 And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God.

N’emmere gye nnali nkuwadde, obuwunga obw’obutta, n’omuzigo ogw’omuzeyituuni n’omubisi gw’enjuki bye nnali nkuwadde okulya, wabiwaayo okuba ebiweebwayo eby’evvumbe eddungi eri bbyo. Era bw’otyo bwe wakola, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.

20 And thou hast taken thy sons, and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me: and best sacrificed the same to them to be devoured. Is thy fornication small?

“‘Waddira batabani bo ne bawala bo be wanzaalira, n’obawaayo ng’ebiweebwayo eby’emmere eri bakatonda abalala. Obwenzi bwe wakola bwali tebumala?

21 Thou hast sacrificed and given my children to them, consecrating them by fire.

Watta abaana bange n’obawaayo ng’ebiweebwayo eri bakatonda abalala.

22 And after all thy abominations, and fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and full of confusion, trodden under foot in thy own blood.

Mu bikolwa byo byonna eby’ekivve n’obwenzi bwo, tewajjukira biseera eby’obuvubuka bwo, bwe wali obwereere nga toliiko bw’oli, era ng’osambagala mu musaayi gwo.

23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe to thee, saith the Lord God)

“‘Zikusanze! Zikusanze, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Mu bikolwa byo ebibi byonna,

24 That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street.

weezimbira ekifo ekigulumivu ne weekolera n’essabo mu buli kibangirizi ekigazi eky’ekibuga.

25 At every head of the way thou hast set up a sign of thy prostitution: and hast made thy beauty to be abominable: and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.

Buli luguudo we lusibuka, wazimbawo essabo lyo, n’okolerawo obwenzi, ng’owaayo omubiri gwo mu bukaba obungi eri buli eyayitangawo.

26 And thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, men of large bodies, and hast multiplied thy fornications to provoke me.

Weetaba mu bwenzi ne baliraanwa bo abakaba Abamisiri, n’oyongera ku bukaba bwo n’onsunguwaza.

27 Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will take away thy justification: and I will deliver thee up to the will of the daughters of the Philistines that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way.

Kyenava nkugololerako omukono gwange ne nkendeeza ku nsalo yo, ne nkuwaayo eri omululu gw’abalabe bo abawala b’Abafirisuuti, abeekanga olw’obukaba bwo.

28 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast not yet satisfied: and after thou hadst played the harlot with them, even so thou wast not contented.

Weetaba mu bikolwa eby’obwenzi n’Abasuuli, kubanga tewamalibwa, ate n’oluvannyuma lw’ekyo n’otamatira.

29 Thou hast also multiplied thy fornications in the land of Chanaan with the Chaldeans: and neither so wast then satisfied.

N’oluvannyuma n’oyongerayo ebikolwa byo eby’obukaba mu Bakaludaaya, ensi ey’ebyamaguzi, naye era n’otamalibwa.

30 Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith the Lord God: seeing thou dost all these the works of a shameless prostitute?

“‘Omutima gwo nga munafu, n’okwewaayo ne weewaayo okukola ebintu ebyo byonna, ne weeyisa ng’omwenzi ow’amawaggali ateefiirayo.

31 Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price,

Bwe wazimba ebifo byo ebigulumivu buli luguudo we lusibuka, n’oteeka amasabo go mu buli kibangirizi ekigazi, tewafaanana ng’omwenzi kubanga wanyoomanga empeera.

32 But as an adulteress, that bringeth in strangers over her husband.

“‘Ggwe omukazi omwenzi eyeegomba abatambuze okusinga balo!

33 Gifts are given to all harlots: but thou hast given hire to all thy lovers, and thou hast given them gifts to come to thee from every side, to commit fornication with thee.

Buli mwenzi afuna empeera, naye ggwe owa baganzi bo bonna ebirabo, ng’obagulirira okujja gy’oli okuva buli wamu olw’obwenzi bwo.

34 And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication: for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in thee.

Era mu bikolwa byo eby’obwenzi tofaanana ng’abalala; tewali akusindika kukola bwenzi. Oli wanjawulo okuva ku balala kubanga osasula empeera, naye ate nga tewali akusasula.

35 Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord.

“‘Kale nno, wulira ekigambo kya Mukama ggwe omwenzi.

36 Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy shame discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with the idols of thy abominations, by the blood of thy children whom thou gavest them:

Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Olw’obugagga bwo bwe walaga, n’oyanika obwereere bwo wakati mu baganzi bo ng’okola ebikolwa eby’obwenzi, n’olwa bakatonda bo abalala ab’ekivve, n’okuwaayo omusaayi gw’abaana bo,

37 Behold, I will gather together all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou hast hated: and I will gather them together against thee on every side, and will discover thy shame in their sight, and they shall see all thy nakedness.

kyendiva nkuŋŋaanya baganzi bo bonna, be wasinza, bonna be wayagala ne be wakyawa, gy’oli ne bakwetooloola, ne nkufungulirira mu maaso gaabwe, balabe obwereere bwo.

38 And I will judge thee as adulteresses, and they that shed blood are judged: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

Ndikusalira omusango ne nkuwa ekibonerezo ng’eky’abakazi abenzi n’abo abayiwa omusaayi, ne nkuleetako omusaayi ogw’ekiruyi n’obuggya.

39 And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and leave thee naked, and full of disgrace.

N’oluvannyuma ndikuwaayo mu mukono gw’abaganzi bo; balimenyaamenya ebifo byo ebigulumivu, ne bazikiriza amasabo go. Era balikwambula ebyambalo byo, ne batwala eby’omuwendo byo, ne bakuleka ng’oli bukunya.

40 And they shall bring upon thee a multitude, and they shall stone thee with stones, and shall slay thee with their swords.

Balisendasenda enkuyanja y’abantu, ne bakukuba amayinja, ne bakutemaatema obufiififi n’ebitala byabwe.

41 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and thou shalt cease from fornication, and shalt give no hire any more.

Balyokya amayumba go ne bakubonereza mu maaso g’abakyala abangi, era ndikulesaayo ebikolwa byo eby’obwenzi so tolisasula baganzi bo mpeera.

42 And my indignation shall rest in thee: and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be angry no more.

N’oluvannyuma obusungu bwange bulikendeera, n’obuggya bwange bulikuvaako, era ndiba mukkakkamu, nga sirina busungu.

43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations.

“‘Kubanga tojjukira biseera eby’obuvubuka bwo, n’onnyiiza n’ebintu ebyo byonna; kyendiva nkuleetako omusango olw’ebikolwa byo, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Ku bukaba obwo bwonna si kwe wayongera ebikolwa ebyo byonna eby’ekivve?

44 Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.

“‘Buli agera engero anaakugereranga olugero luno nga boogera nti, “Nnyina ne muwala we batyo.”

45 Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite.

Oli muwala wa nnyoko ddala, eyanyooma bba n’abaana be, era oli mwannyina ddala owa baganda bo abanyooma ba bbaabwe n’abaana baabwe. Nnyoko yali Mukiiti, kitaawo nga Mwamoli.

46 And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters.

Mukulu wo yali Samaliya eyabeeranga ne bawala be ku luuyi lwo olw’Obukiikakkono, ne muto wo ne bawala be nga babeera ku luuyi lwo olw’Obukiikaddyo, era nga ye Sodomu.

47 But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways.

Tewakoma ku kugoberera ngeri zaabwe kyokka, n’okukoppa ebikolwa byabwe eby’ekivve, naye waayitawo ebbanga ttono engeri zo zonna ne zisukka ku zaabwe obubi.

48 As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters.

Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, muganda wo Sodomu ne bawala be tebaatuuka ku ssa, ggwe ne bawala bo kwe mwatuuka.

49 Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters: and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and to the poor.

“‘Guno gwe musango muganda wo Sodomu gwe yazza: ye ne bawala be baali baamalala, nga baamululu abatafaayo, wadde okuyamba abaavu abaali mu bwetaavu.

50 And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.

Baali baamalala, era baakola ebikolwa eby’ekivve mu maaso gange, kyennava mbaggyawo nga bwe nasiima.

51 And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.

So ne Samaliya teyatuuka awo; wakola ebikolwa eby’ekivve okusinga ne bwe baakola, era n’oleetera baganda bo okulabika ng’abatuukirivu mu ebyo byonna by’okola.

52 Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.

Kaakano naawe k’ojjule ensonyi, kubanga owolereza baganda bo, ate n’ebibi bye wakola biswaza okusinga ebyabwe, kyebaliva balabika nga batuukirivu okukusinga. Kyonoova oswala, ne weetikka obuswavu bwo, kubanga oleetedde baganda bo okulabika ng’abatuukirivu.

53 And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them.

“‘Wabula ndizzaawo obugagga bwa Sodomu ne bawala be, n’obwa Samaliya ne bawala be, ate ne nzizaawo n’obubwo,

54 That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them.

olyoke weetikke obuswavu bwo, oswale mu maaso gaabwe olw’ebyo byonna bye wakola ng’obawooyawooya.

55 And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient state.

Baganda bo, Sodomu wamu ne bawala be, ne Samaliya wamu ne bawala be baliddayo nga bwe baali edda, ate naawe oliddayo n’obeera nga bwe wali edda.

56 And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride,

Lwaki muganda wo Sodomu teyayogerwako ku lunaku olw’amalala go,

57 Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides.

okwonoona kwo nga tekunnabikkulwa? Kaakano ofuuse kyakusekererwa eri abawala ab’e Busuuli ne baliraanwa be bonna, n’eri abawala aba Bufirisuuti, abo bonna abakwetoolodde abakunyooma.

58 Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord God.

Olibonerezebwa olw’obukaba bwo n’ebikolwa byo eby’ekivve, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.

59 For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant:

“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndikukola nga bwe kikusaanira, kubanga wanyooma ekirayiro kyange, bwe wamenya endagaano.

60 And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.

Naye ndijjukira endagaano gye nakola naawe mu biseera eby’obuvubuka bwo, era ndissaawo endagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.

61 And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

Olwo olijjukira engeri zo, n’oswala bw’olitwala baganda bo abakusinga obukulu ne bato bo, ne mbankuwa babeere bawala bo, naye si lwa ndagaano yange naawe.

62 And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord,

Ndinyweza endagaano yange naawe, era olimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda,

63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.

n’oluvannyuma olw’okutangiririrwa, olijjukira ne wejjusa n’otaddayo kwasamya nate kamwa ko, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
