< Ezekiel 25 >

1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 Son of man, set thy face against the sons of 'Ammon, and prophesy against them;
“Omwana w’omuntu, simba amaaso go eri abaana ba Amoni obawe obunnabbi.
3 And say unto the sons of 'Ammon, Hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou hast said, Aha, concerning my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and concerning the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and concerning the house of Judah, when they went into exile:
Bagambe nti, ‘Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, kubanga mwakuba mu ngalo ne mwogera nti, “Otyo!” ku watukuvu wange bwe wayonooneka, n’ensi ya Isirayiri bwe yafuuka amatongo, ne ku bantu ba Yuda bwe baatwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse,
4 Therefore, behold, I will give thee up to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set up their towers in thee, and place in thee their dwellings; they shall indeed eat thy fruit, and they shall surely drink thy milk.
kyendiva mbawaayo eri abantu ab’Ebuvanjuba mube bantu baabwe ab’obwannanyini. Balikola olusiisira mu mmwe ne basiisira wakati mu mmwe, era balirya ebibala byammwe ne banywa n’amata gammwe.
5 And I will change Rabbah into a pasture for camels, and [the land of] the sons of 'Ammon into a resting-place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Ndifuula Labba okubeera eddundiro ly’eŋŋamira ne Amoni ne mufuula ekifo endiga we ziwummulira. Olwo mulimanya nga nze Mukama.
6 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas thou didst clap thy hands, and stamp with thy feet, and rejoice with all thy derision in the soul over the land of Israel:
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: kubanga wakuba mu ngalo, n’osambagala n’ebigere, n’osanyuka n’ettima lyonna ery’omutima gwo n’osekerera ensi ya Isirayiri,
7 Therefore, behold, will I stretch out my hand over thee, and will give thee up for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries; I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
kyendiva nkugololerako omukono gwange era ndikuwaayo okuba omunyago eri amawanga. Ndikusalirako ddala ku mawanga era nkumalirewo ddala okuva mu nsi. Ndikuzikiriza, era olimanya nga nze Mukama.’”
8 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because Moab and Se'ir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations:
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Kubanga Mowaabu ne Seyiri baayogera nti, “Laba ennyumba ya Yuda efuuse ng’amawanga amalala gonna,”
9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-ha-yeshimoth, Ba'al-me'on, and Kiryathayim,
kyendiva nswaza oluuyi olumu olwa Mowaabu okutandika n’ebibuga ebiri ku nsalo yaakyo, Besu Yesimosi, ne Baalu Myoni, ne Kiriyasayimu, ekitiibwa ky’ensi eyo.
10 Unto the children of the east [coming] against the sons of 'Ammon, and I will give them in possession; in order that the sons of 'Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.
Ndiwaayo abantu ab’e Mowaabu wamu n’abantu ab’e Amoni eri abantu ab’Ebuvanjuba mube bantu baabwe ab’obwannanyini, abantu ba Amoni balemenga okujjukirwanga mu mawanga,
11 And on Moab will I execute judgments: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
era ne Mowaabu ndimubonereza. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.’”
12 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the Edomites have acted revengefully against the house of Judah, and have greatly offended, and have taken vengeance on them:
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Kubanga Edomu yawoolera eggwanga ku nnyumba ya Yuda, bw’etyo n’esingibwa omusango olw’ekikolwa ekyo,
13 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will also stretch out my hand against Edom, and cut off from it man and beast; and I will make it a ruined land from Theman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Ndigololera ku Edomu omukono gwange, ne nzita abantu be n’ebisolo byabwe. Ndigisaanyaawo, n’abo abaliba mu Temani okutuuka e Dedani balifa ekitala.
14 And I will display my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my fury: and they shall feel my vengeance, saith the Lord Eternal.
Ndiwoolera eggwanga ku Edomu nga nkozesa omukono gw’abantu bange Isirayiri, era balikola ku Edomu ng’obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi kyange bwe byenkana; balimanya okuwoolera eggwanga kwange bwe kwenkana, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
15 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the Philistines have acted in revenge, and have taken vengeance with derision in their soul, to destroy out of ancient enmity:
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Kubanga Abafirisuuti beesasuza nga bawoolera eggwanga ne beesasuza n’ettima, ne banoonya okuzikiriza Yuda, n’obukambwe obw’edda,
16 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethim, and destroy the remnant of the [dwellers] of the sea-coast.
Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Nnaatera okugololera omukono gwange ku Bafirisuuti, era nditta Abakeresi, n’abaliba basigaddewo ku mabbali g’ennyanja ndibazikiriza.
17 And I will execute on them great vengeances with furious chastisements: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I display my vengeance on them.
Ndibawoolera eggwanga n’ebibonerezo eby’amaanyi eby’ekiruyi. Balimanya nga nze Mukama, bwe ndiwoolera eggwanga ku bo.’”
