Ezekiel 26
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Awo olwatuuka mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu ku lunaku olw’olubereberye mu mwezi, ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken [that was] the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, [now] she is laid waste:
“Omwana w’omuntu, kubanga Ttuulo yakuba mu ngalo n’ayogera ku Yerusaalemi nti, ‘Otyo! Omulyango ogw’amawanga gumenyeddwa, era n’enzigi zinzigguliddwa kaakano nga bw’afuuse amatongo, ndigaggawala,’
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Nkuvunaana ggwe Ttuulo, ndiyimusa amawanga mangi gakulumbe, ng’ennyanja bw’esitula amayengo gaayo.
4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
Balimenya bbugwe wa Ttuulo, ne basuula n’emirongooti gye, era ndiggyawo ebifunfugu bye byonna ne mmufuula olwazi olwereere.
5 It shall be [a place for] the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
Wakati mu nnyanja alibeera ekifo eky’okwanjulurizangamu obutimba obw’ebyennyanja, kubanga nze njogedde bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Alifuuka omunyago ogw’amawanga,
6 And her daughters which [are] in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
era ebifo bye eby’oku lukalu kw’abeera birimalibwawo ekitala. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.
7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
“Era Mukama Katonda agamba nti, ‘Ndiweereza Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni kabaka wa bakabaka, eri Ttuulo okuva mu bukiikakkono, ng’alina embalaasi n’amagaali, n’abeebagala embalaasi n’eggye eddene.
8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
Alitta n’ekitala abatuuze bo ababeera ku lukalu, era alizimba ebigo okukwolekera, n’ateekawo n’ebitindiro okutuuka ku bbugwe wo n’akwolekeza n’engabo.
9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
Alitunuza ebintu bye ebitomera eri bbugwe wo, n’amenyaamenya emirongooti gyo n’ebyokulwanyisa bye.
10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
Embalaasi ze ziriba nnyingi nnyo, n’enfuufu yaazo erikubikka era ne bbugwe wo alinyeenyezebwa olw’amaloboozi g’embalaasi ennwanyi, n’olw’ebiwalulibwa n’amagaali bw’aliyingira mu wankaaki wo, ng’abasajja bwe bayingira mu kibuga, nga bbugwe waakyo abotoddwamu ekituli.
11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
Embalaasi ze ziririnyirira enguudo zo; n’abantu bo alibatta n’ekitala era n’empagi zo ez’amaanyi zirisuulibwa ku ttaka.
12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
Balinyaga obugagga bwo ne babba n’ebyamaguzi byo; balimenya bbugwe wo ne basaanyaawo n’ennyumba zo ennungi, n’amayinja go n’embaawo zo era n’ebifunfugu birisuulibwa wakati mu nnyanja.
13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
Ndikomya okuyimba kwo, era n’amaloboozi ag’ennanga zo tegaliwulirwa nate.
14 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be [a place] to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
Ndikufuula olwazi olwereere, era olibeera ekifo eky’okwanjulurizangamu obutimba obw’ebyennyanja. Tolizimbibwa nate, kubanga nze Mukama njogedde, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri Ttuulo nti, Ebifo ebiri ku lubalama lw’ennyanja tebirikankana olw’okubwatuka olw’okugwa kwo, abaliba balumizibbwa bwe balisinda, n’abalala ne battibwa wakati mu ggwe?
16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at thee.
Olwo abalangira bonna ab’oku lukalu lw’ennyanja baliva ku ntebe zaabwe ez’obwakabaka ne bambulamu ebyambalo byabwe ne baggyako n’engoye zaabwe ez’emiddalizo. Mu kutya okungi, balituula wansi ku ttaka, nga bakankana buli kaseera nga basamaaliridde.
17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, [that wast] inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror [to be] on all that haunt it!
Balikukungubagira ne bakugamba nti, “‘Ng’ozikiriziddwa, ggwe ekibuga ekyatutumuka, ekyabeerangamu abantu abalunnyanja. Wali wa maanyi ku nnyanja, ggwe n’abantu bo, watiisatiisanga bonna abaabeeranga ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.
18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that [are] in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
Kaakano olubalama lw’ennyanja lukankana ku lunaku olw’okugwa kwo, era n’ebizinga ebiri mu nnyanja bitidde olw’okugwa kwo.’
19 For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Bwe ndikufuula ekibuga ekirimu ebifulukwa, ng’ebibuga ebitakyabaamu bantu era bwe ndikuyimusizaako obuziba bw’ennyanja, n’amazzi gaayo ne gakubikka,
20 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
kale ndikussa wansi ng’abo abagenda mu bunnya eri abaafa edda. Olibeera wansi mu ttaka, mu bifo ebyazika edda ennyo, n’abo abaserengeta mu bunnya, so tojja kudda wadde okufuna ekifo mu nsi ya balamu.
21 I will make thee a terror, and thou [shalt be] no [more: ] though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
Ndikutuusa ku nkomerero embi, so toliwulirwa nate. Balikunoonya, naye toliddayo kulabika,’ bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
