< Ezekiel 4 >
1 Thou also sonne of man, take thee a bricke, and lay it before thee, and pourtray vpon it the citie, euen Ierusalem,
“Kaakano omwana w’omuntu, ddira ekipande eky’ebbumba okiteeke mu maaso go, okikubeko ekifaananyi ky’ekibuga Yerusaalemi,
2 And lay siege against it, and builde a fort against it, and cast a mount against it: set the campe also against it, and lay engins of warre against it rounde about.
okizingize, okizimbeko bbugwe okukyetooloola, okituumeko ekifunvu, era oteekewo ensiisira okukyetooloola n’ebifunvu bye banaatomera enjuuyi zonna.
3 Moreouer, take an yron pan, and set it for a wall of yron betweene thee and the citie, and direct thy face towarde it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: this shall be a signe vnto the house of Israel.
“Oluvannyuma oddire olukalango olw’ekyuma, oluteeke okuba bbugwe ow’ekyuma wakati wo n’ekibuga, okyuke okitunuulire. Kiriba mu mbeera ey’okuzingizibwa, era naawe kizingize. Ako kaliba kabonero eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
4 Sleepe thou also vpon thy left side, and lay the iniquitie of the house of Israel vpon it: according to the nomber of the dayes, that thou shalt sleepe vpon it, thou shalt beare their iniquity.
“N’oluvannyuma oligalamira ku lubiriizi lwo olwa kkono n’oddira ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Isirayiri okyeteekeko. Olyetikka ekibi kyabwe ennaku z’olimala ng’ogalamidde ku lubiriizi lwo.
5 For I haue layed vpon thee the yeeres of their iniquitie, according to the nomber of the dayes, euen three hundreth and ninetie dayes: so shalt thou beare the iniquitie of the house of Israel.
Ennaku z’olimala ezenkanankana emyaka gye baamala nga boonoona. Noolwekyo olimala ennaku ebikumi bisatu mu kyenda nga weetisse ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
6 And when thou hast accomplished them, sleepe againe vpon thy right side, and thou shalt beare the iniquitie of the house of Iudah fourtie dayes: I haue appointed thee a day for a yeere, euen a day for a yeere.
“Ekyo bw’olikimala, oligalamira nate, ku mulundi guno ku lubiriizi lwo olwa ddyo, ne weetikka ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Yuda. Olimala ennaku amakumi ana, buli lunaku mwaka.
7 Therefore thou shalt direct thy face towarde the siege of Ierusalem, and thine arme shalbe vncouered, and thou shalt prophesie against it.
Olikyusa amaaso go n’otunula eri okuzingizibwa kwa Yerusaalemi, okyogerereko ebigambo n’omukono gwo ogutali mubikkeko,
8 And beholde, I will lay bands vpon thee, and thou shalt not turne thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the dayes of thy siege.
Ndikusiba emiguwa n’otosobola kwekyusa okuva ku luuyi olumu okudda ku lulala, okutuusa ennaku ez’obusibe bwo lwe ziriggwaako.
9 Thou shalt take also vnto thee wheate, and barley, and beanes, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessell, and make thee bread thereof according to the nomber of the dayes, that thou shalt sleepe vpon thy side: euen three hundreth and ninetie dayes shalt thou eate thereof.
“Ddira eŋŋaano ne sayiri, n’obulo, n’omukyere, n’ebijanjalo, n’enva endiirwa endala obisse mu kibya omuterekebwa, obikozese okwefumbira omugaati. Oligulya mu nnaku ezo ebikumi ebisatu mu ekyenda z’oliba ogalamidde ku luuyi olw’omubiri gwo.
10 And the meate, whereof thou shalt eate, shalbe by weight, euen twenty shekels a day: and from time to time shalt thou eate thereof.
Opime gulaamu ebikumi bibiri mu amakumi asatu ez’emmere gy’olirya buli lunaku, era gy’oliriira mu biseera ebigere.
11 Thou shalt drinke also water by measure, euen the sixt part of an Hin: from time to time shalt thou drinke.
Ate opime nga kitundu kya lita ey’amazzi, oganywe mu biseera ebigere.
12 And thou shalt eate it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it in the dongue that commeth out of man, in their sight.
Olye emmere nga bwe wandiridde keeke eya sayiri; ogifumbe n’obusa bw’omuntu, ng’abantu balaba.”
13 And the Lord said, So shall the children of Israel eate their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will cast them.
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Mu ngeri eno abantu ba Isirayiri baliriira emmere etali nnongoofu mu mawanga gye ndibasindika.”
14 Then said I, Ah, Lord God, beholde, my soule hath not bene polluted: for from my youth vp, euen vnto this houre, I haue not eaten of a thing dead, or torne in pieces, neither came there any vncleane flesh in my mouth.
Ne njogera nti, “Nedda Ayi Mukama Katonda. Sseeyonoonesanga, era okuva mu buto bwange n’okutuusa kaakano siryanga kifu wadde ekitaaguddwataaguddwa ensolo enkambwe. Siryanga nnyama etali nnongoofu.”
15 Then he said vnto me, Loe, I haue giuen thee bullockes dongue for mans dongue, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
N’ayogera nti, “Weewaawo, nnaakukkiriza okukozesa obusa bw’ente okufumba omugaati mu kifo ky’obusa bw’abantu.”
16 Moreouer, he said vnto me, Sonne of man, beholde, I will breake the staffe of bread in Ierusalem, and they shall eate bread by weight, and with care, and they shall drinke water by measure, and with astonishment.
N’oluvannyuma n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, ndisalako emmere eri mu Yerusaalemi. Abantu balirya emmere engere mu kutya, ne banywa amazzi amapime mu kutya,
17 Because that bread and water shall faile, they shalbe astonied one with another, and shall consume away for their iniquitie.
kubanga emmere n’amazzi biriba bya bbula. Tebalyagala kwetunulako, era baliggwaawo olw’ekibi kyabwe.”
