Ezekiel 34
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds who lead Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the shepherds of Israel, who only look after themselves, and not the sheep! Shouldn't shepherds make sure their flock is fed?
“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 You eat the cream, you use the wool for clothes, and you slaughter the fattened sheep, but you don't feed the flock.
Mulya amasavu, ne mwambala ebyoya, ne mutta ensolo ensava, naye temufaayo ku bisibo.
4 You haven't taken care of the weak, healed the sick, bandaged the injured, brought home the strays, or looked for the lost. On the contrary, you ruled them using violence and cruelty.
Ennafu temuzizzaamu maanyi, so n’endwadde temuzijjanjabye, so n’ezirumizibbwa temusibye biwundu byazo, so n’ezibuze temuzikomezzaawo, naye muzifuze n’amaanyi.
5 They were scattered because they didn't have a shepherd. When they scattered they were preyed on by all the wild animals for food.
Kyezaava zisaasaana, kubanga tezaalina musumba, ne ziba kya kulya eri ensolo enkambwe zonna ez’omu nsiko.
6 My sheep strayed, going to all the mountains and high hills. They were scattered everywhere, and there was no one to go and look 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 So, you shepherds, listen to what the Lord has to say:
“‘Noolwekyo mmwe abasumba, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama:
8 As I live, declares the Lord God, because my sheep didn't have a shepherd and were preyed on by all the wild animals for food, and because my shepherds didn't look after my sheep but instead only fed themselves,
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 so, you shepherds, you listen to what the Lord has to say!
kale mmwe abasumba muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama.
10 This is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning the shepherds, and I will take my sheep back and stop them looking after the sheep so they won't be able to feed themselves anymore. I will take away my sheep from them, and I won't let them eat the sheep anymore.
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 this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I myself will go looking for my sheep, searching to find them.
“‘Era bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nze kennyini ndinoonya endiga zange ne nzirabirira.
12 Just like a shepherd goes looking for his lost sheep when he is with the flock, so I will look for my sheep. I will rescue them from everywhere they were scattered on a dark and dismal 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 I will take them out from among the other nations. I will gather them from the different countries, and bring them back to their own country. Like a shepherd I will have them feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and everywhere that people live in 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 provide them with good pasture and places to graze in the high mountains of Israel. They will also be able to rest there in the good pasture and in the places to graze in 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 myself will look after my sheep and give them a place to rest, declares the Lord God.
Nze kennyini ndirabirira endiga zange, ne nzigalamiza wansi mirembe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
16 I will go looking for the lost, bring home the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak. However, I will destroy those who are fat and strong. Because I do what's right, I will be sure to take care of them.
Ndinoonya ezaabula, ne nkomyawo ezaawaba. Ndigyanjaba ezaalumizibwa, ne ŋŋumya ennafu, naye ensava era ez’amaanyi ndizizikiriza. Ndirunda ekisibo mu bwenkanya.
17 My flock, this is what the Lord God says to you: Watch, because I will judge between one sheep and the next, between the rams and the 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 Aren't you satisfied with feeding in good pasture? Do you have to trample down the rest of the pasture with your feet? Aren't you satisfied to drink the clear water? Do you have to muddy the rest of it 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 Why does my flock have to feed on what your feet have trampled down, and drink the water that your feet have muddied?
Olwo endiga zange zirye bye mwalinnyirira n’okunywa zinywe amazzi ge mwasiikuula n’ebigere byammwe?
20 That's why the Lord God says to them: Watch, because I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the skinny sheep.
“‘Mukama Katonda kyava abagamba nti, Laba, nze kennyini ndisala omusango wakati w’endiga ensava n’endiga enkovvu.
21 Since you push others around with your sides and your shoulders, and use your horns to attack all the weak ones until you have chased them away,
Kubanga mwewaana nga muyimusa ebifuba ne musindikiriza ennafu zonna ne muzitomera n’amayembe gammwe okutuusa lwe muzifulumya ebweru,
22 I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be your victims. I will judge between one sheep and the next.
ndiwonyawo ekisibo kyange so teziriba nate muyiggo. Ndisala omusango mu bwenkanya wakati w’endiga n’endiga.
23 I will put one shepherd in charge of them, my servant David, and he will take care of them. He will take care of them and be their shepherd.
Ndiziwa omusumba omu, omuweereza wange Dawudi, alizirunda; alizirabirira era aliba musumba waabwe.
24 I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be their leader. I the Lord have spoken.
Nze Mukama ndiba Katonda waabwe, n’omuddu wange Dawudi aliba mulangira mu bo. Nze Mukama njogedde.
25 I will make an agreement of peace with them, and get rid of the wild animals from the country, so that they can live safely in the wilderness and sleep securely in the forest.
“‘Ndikola endagaano yange ezisuubiza emirembe, era ndigoba mu nsi ensolo enkambwe, zibeerenga mu ddungu era zeebakenga mu bibira mirembe nga tezirumbibwa.
26 I will bless them and everywhere around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. They will be showers of blessing.
Ndiziwa omukisa wamu n’ebifo ebyetoolodde akasozi kange, era ndibatonnyeseza enkuba mu ntuuko yaayo; walibaawo enkuba ey’omukisa.
27 The trees in the orchards will produce their fruit; the earth will grow its crops; and my flock will be live in safety in their country. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I break their yokes of slavery, and set them free from those who made them slaves.
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 They won't be the victims of other nations anymore, and wild animals won't eat them. They will live in safety, and no one will terrorize them.
Teziriba munyago nate eri amawanga, so n’ensolo enkambwe tezirizitaagulataagula. Zirituula mirembe so tewaliba muntu n’omu azitiisatiisa.
29 I will make their fields produce remarkable harvests, and they won't suffer famine in their country again or be mocked by others.
Ndiziwa ensi emanyiddwa olw’ebirime byayo, zireme okulumwa enjala nate mu nsi newaakubadde okunyoomebwa amawanga.
30 Then they will know that I am with them as the Lord their God, and that the people of Israel belong to me, declares the Lord God.
Era zirimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda waazo, ndi wamu nazo, era nga zo, ennyumba ya Isirayiri, bantu bange, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
31 You are my sheep, the sheep that I feed. You are my people, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
Mmwe ndiga zange, endiga ez’eddundiro lyange, muli bantu bange, era nze ndi Katonda wammwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
