< Ezekiel 6 >

1 A message from the Lord came to me that said,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira nti,
2 “Son of man, face towards of Israel's mountains and prophesy against them.
“Omwana w’omuntu tunuulira ensozi za Isirayiri,
3 Tell them: Mountains of Israel, listen to the message from the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and the hills, to the gorges and the valleys: I'm going to attack you and destroy your high places.
oyogere nti, ‘Mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri ensozi n’obusozi, eri emigga n’ebiwonvu, nti, Nze kennyini ndibaleetako ekitala ne nzikiriza n’ebifo byammwe ebigulumivu.
4 Your pagan altars will be torn down, and your incense altars will be smashed to pieces. I will kill your idol worshipers right in front of their idols.
Ebyoto byammwe birimenyebwamenyebwa, n’ebyoto kwe mwotereza obubaane birimenyebwamenyebwa; ndittira abantu bo mu maaso ga bakatonda bo abalala.
5 I will put the dead bodies of you Israelites in front of your idols and scatter your bones around your altars.
Ndiddira emirambo gy’Abayisirayiri ne ngiteeka mu maaso ga bakatonda baabwe abalala, era ndisaasaanya amagumba go okwetooloola ebyoto byo.
6 Everywhere you live, the towns will be turned into rubble and the high places torn down. Your altars will be demolished and defiled. Your idols will be smashed and completely destroyed. Your incense altars will be knocked down, and all that you made will be ruined.
Buli gye mubeera ebibuga biriyonoonebwa n’ebifo byammwe ebigulumivu birisaanyizibwawo, n’ebyoto byammwe ne byonoonebwa ne bimenyebwamenyebwa, ne bakatonda bammwe ne bamenyebwamenyebwa ne boonoonebwa, era n’ebyoto byammwe ebyokerwako obubaane ne bimenyebwa ne bye mukoze ne bisaanawo.
7 People will be killed all throughout your country. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Abantu bo balittibwa wakati mu mmwe, ne mulyoka mumanya nga nze Mukama.
8 However, I will let some of you survive and scatter you among the different nations and countries.
“‘Naye ndirekawo abamu ku mmwe, era muliba bakaawonawo nga musaasaanye mu nsi ne mu mawanga.
9 Once they are they are there as prisoners in the nations, then the survivors will remember me. They will realize how sad they made me by their spiritual adultery as they deserted me with their eyes full of lust as they worshiped idols. They will hate themselves for the evil things they did, for all their disgusting sins.
Era eyo mu mawanga bakaawonawo gye mwatwalibwa mu busibe, mulinzijukira, kubanga nnumwa olw’emitima gyabwe eginjeemedde egyegomba era egisinza bakatonda abalala. Balikyama olw’obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, n’olwebikolwa byabwe byonna ebigwenyufu.
10 Then they will know that I am the Lord, and that I was not pretending when I warned them about bringing this disaster upon them.
Era balimanya nga nze Mukama; saabatiisiza bwereere okubaleetako akabi kano.
11 This is what the Lord God says: Hit yourself with your hands, stomp your feet, and shout out ‘Oh no!’ Do this because of all the terrible wickedness of the people of Israel. They are going to die by the sword and famine and disease.
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kuba mu ngalo zo, osambagale era okaabire waggulu oyogere nti, “Woowe”; olw’ebikolwa byonna ebitali bya butuukirivu n’ebintu byonna eby’ekkive eby’ennyumba ya Isirayiri; abamu baligwa n’ekitala, abalala balifa enjala, n’abalala balifa kawumpuli.
12 Those living far away will die from of disease, those who are close by will be killed by the sword, and those who are left will die of starvation. This is how I will express my anger towards them.
Ali ewala alifa kawumpuli, n’oyo ali okumpi aligwa n’ekitala, n’oyo alisigalawo alifa enjala. Bwe ntyo bwe ndiraga obusungu bwange.
13 Then you will know that I am the Lord—when the idol worshipers lie dead among their idols and altars on the top of every hill and mountain, and under every green tree and large oak. These were the pagan shrines where they offered sweet-smelling incense to all their idols.
Mulitegeera nga nze Mukama, abantu baabwe bwe balisangibwa nga bafiiridde wakati mu bakatonda baabwe be baakola n’emikono okwetooloola ebyoto byabwe, ne ku buli lusozi oluwanvu, ne ku buli ntikko ez’ensozi, ne buli wansi w’omuti oguliko ebikoola, n’omwera oguliko ebikoola, ebifo gye baali nga bootereza obubaane eri bakatonda baabwe be baakola n’emikono.
14 I'm going to lift up my hand to punish them. In every place they live I will make their country a wasteland, all the way from the desert in the south to Diblah in the north. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
Era ndigolola omukono gwange ku bo, ensi ne yonooneka ne tebalamu kintu okuva ku ddungu okutuuka e Dibula, ne buli gye babeera. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.’”
