Ezekiel 26
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on 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 Tyre hath said concerning Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people; she is turned unto me; I shall be made full, now she is laid in ruins:
“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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre, and will bring up against thee many nations, as the sea causeth its 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 Tyre, and pull down her towers: I will also flood away her earth from her, and I will change her into a naked rock.
Balimenya bbugwe wa Ttuulo, ne basuula n’emirongooti gye, era ndiggyawo ebifunfugu bye byonna ne mmufuula olwazi olwereere.
5 A place for the spreading out of nets shall she be in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal: and she 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 that are in the field shall be slain with 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will bring against Tyre Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, from the north, the king of kings, with horses, and with chariot's, and with horsemen, and an assemblage, and a numerous 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 Thy daughters in the field will he slay with the sword: and he shall place around thee works of attack, and cast up against thee a mound, and erect against thee a target-fence.
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 his catapults shall he set against thy walls, and thy towers shall he break down with his axes.
Alitunuza ebintu bye ebitomera eri bbugwe wo, n’amenyaamenya emirongooti gyo n’ebyokulwanyisa bye.
10 By reason of the abundance of his horses shall the dust they raise cover thee: by reason of the noise of horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, shall thy walls quake, when he entereth into thy gates, as men enter into a city that is broken in.
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: thy people will he slay with the sword, and the statues of thy strength shall come 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 plunder thy riches, and make a spoil of thy merchandise; and they shall break down thy walls, and thy pleasure-houses shall they pull down: and thy stones and thy timber and thy earth shall they throw into 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 sound of thy songs to cease: and the tones of thy harps shall not be heard any more.
Ndikomya okuyimba kwo, era n’amaloboozi ag’ennanga zo tegaliwulirwa nate.
14 And I will change thee into a naked rock; a place to spread out nets upon shalt thou be; thou shalt not be rebuilt any more; for I the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal.
Ndikufuula olwazi olwereere, era olibeera ekifo eky’okwanjulurizangamu obutimba obw’ebyennyanja. Tolizimbibwa nate, kubanga nze Mukama njogedde, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’
15 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to Tyre, Truly at the noise of thy fall, when the deadly wounded whine, when the slaughter taketh place in the midst of thee, shall the islands quake.
“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 shall all the princes of the sea come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and their broidered garments shall they put off: with trembling shall they clothe themselves; upon the ground shall they sit, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished concerning 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 lift up over thee a lamentation, and say to thee, How art thou lost, that wast inhabited [safely] by reason of the seas: O renowned city, which was strong on the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all that dwelt around her!
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 on the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy end.
Kaakano olubalama lw’ennyanja lukankana ku lunaku olw’okugwa kwo, era n’ebizinga ebiri mu nnyanja bitidde olw’okugwa kwo.’
19 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, When I render thee a ruined city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I bring up over thee the deep, and when the great waters 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 Then will I bring thee down with those that descend into the pit, unto the people of olden time, and I will cause thee to dwell in the land of the nether world, among ruins of ancient days, with those that go down to the pit, in order that thou mayest not be inhabited; but I will bestow glory in the land of life.
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 As though thou hadst not been will I render thee, and thou shalt be no more: and thou shalt be sought for, but thou shalt never be found any more to eternity, saith the Lord Eternal.
Ndikutuusa ku nkomerero embi, so toliwulirwa nate. Balikunoonya, naye toliddayo kulabika,’ bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
