Ezekiel 28
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, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas thy heart was lifted up, and thou saidst, A god am I, on the seat of the gods do I dwell, in the heart of the seas; yet thou art but a man, and not God, while thou esteemest thy mind equal to the mind of God;
“Omwana w’omuntu, gamba omufuzi w’e Ttuulo nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kubanga olina amalala mu mutima gwo kyova oyogera nti, ‘Ndi katonda, era ntuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka eya Katonda wakati mu nnyanja,’ songa oli muntu buntu, so si katonda, newaakubadde ng’olowooza nga oli mugezi nga katonda.
3 Behold, thou wast wiser than Daniel; no secret was obscure to thee;
Oli mugezi okusinga Danyeri? Tewali kyama kikukwekeddwa?
4 With thy wisdom and with thy understanding hadst thou gotten thee riches, and hadst gotten gold and silver into thy treasuries;
Mu magezi go ne mu kutegeera kwo weefunidde eby’obugagga, n’okuŋŋaanya ezaabu n’effeeza n’obitereka mu mawanika go.
5 By the abundance of thy wisdom in thy traffic hadst thou increased thy riches; and thy heart was lifted up because of thy riches:
Olw’obukujjukujju bwo mu by’obusuubuzi oyongedde okugaggawala, era n’omutima gwo gwenyumiririza mu byobugagga bwo.”
6 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou hast esteemed thy mind equal to the mind of God,
Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, “Kubanga olowooza ng’oli mugezi, ng’oli mugezi nga katonda,
7 Therefore, behold, will I bring over thee strangers, the fiercest • of nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall profane thy elegance.
kyendiva nkuleetera bannaggwanga ne bakulumba, ab’omu mawanga agasinga obukambwe, ne basowola ebitala byabwe eri obulungi n’amagezi go, ne boonoona okumasamasa kwo.
8 Down to the grave will they cast thee, and thou shalt die the deaths of the slain in the heart of the seas.
Balikusuula mu bunnya n’ofiira eyo okufa okubi wakati mu gayanja.
9 Wilt thou then say, I am God, before him that slayeth thee? when thou art but a man, and no God, in the hand of him that fatally wounded thee.
Olyogera nate nti, ‘Ndi katonda,’ mu maaso gaabo abakutta? Oliba muntu buntu so si katonda mu mikono gy’abo abakutta.
10 The deaths of the uncircumcised shalt thou die by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal.
Olifa okufa okw’abatali bakomole, mu mikono gya bannaggwanga, nze nkyogedde, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
11 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation concerning the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Thou wast complete in outline, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
“Omwana w’omuntu kungubagira kabaka w’e Ttuulo, omutegeeze nti, Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ggwe wali ekyokulabirako ekituukiridde ng’ojjudde amagezi era nga watuukirira mu bulungi.
13 In 'Eden the garden of God didst thou abide; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold; thy tabrets and thy flutes of artificial workmanship were prepared in thee on the day thou wast created.
Wali mu Adeni, ennimiro ya Katonda; buli jjinja ery’omuwendo nga likubikako, sadio, topazi, alimasi, berulo, onuku, yasipero, safiro, ejjinja erya nnawandagala. Okuteekebwateekebwa kwo n’ebikunyweza byakolebwa mu zaabu. Era ku lunaku lwe watondebwa, byategekebwa.
14 Thou wast a cherub with outspread covering [wings]; and I had set thee upon the holy mountain of God [as] thou wast; in the midst of the stones of fire didst thou wander.
Wali kerubi omukuumi eyafukibwako amafuta, nakwawula lwa nsonga eyo. Wabeeranga ku lusozi olutukuvu olwa Katonda, n’otambulira wakati mu mayinja ag’omuliro.
15 Perfect wast thou in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till wickedness was found in thee.
Tewaliiko kya kunenyezebwa kyonna okuva ku lunaku lwe watondebwa, okutuusa obutali butuukirivu bwe bwalabika mu ggwe.
16 By the abundance of thy commerce thou wast filled to thy centre with violence, and thou didst sin: therefore I degraded thee out of the mountain of God; and I destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Mu bikolwa byo ebingi, wajjula empisa embi, era n’okola ebibi. Kyennava nkugoba ku lusozi lwa Katonda, mu buswavu obungi ne nkugoba ggwe kerubi eyakuumanga okuva mu mayinja ag’omuliro.
17 Thy heart was lifted up through thy beauty, thou didst corrupt thy wisdom by reason of thy elegance: [therefore] I cast thee down to the ground, before kings did I set thee that they might gaze on thee.
Omutima gwo gwalina amalala olw’obulungi bwo, ne weelimbalimba olw’ekitiibwa kyo. Kyennava nkukanyuga ku nsi ne nkufuula eky’okusekererwa mu maaso ga bakabaka.
18 Through the abundance of thy iniquities, through the wickedness of thy commerce didst thou profane thy sanctuaries: therefore brought I forth fire from the midst of thee, this devoured thee, and I changed thee to ashes upon the earth before the eyes of all those that saw thee.
Olw’ebibi byo ebingi n’olw’obukumpanya bwo oyonoonye ebifo byo ebitukuvu. Kyenava nziggya omuliro mu ggwe ne gukusaanyaawo, ne nkufuula evvu ku nsi wakati mu abo bonna abaakulabanga.
19 All that know thee among the people are astonished concerning thee: thou art as though thou hadst not been, and thou shalt not be any more for ever.
Amawanga gonna agaakumanya gaatya nnyo; otuuse ku nkomerero embi, so tolibeerawo nate ennaku zonna.’”
20 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
21 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
“Omwana w’omuntu kyuka otunuulire Sidoni, obawe obunnabbi,
22 And thou shalt say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon, and I will be honored in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I execute judgments on her, and will be sanctified on her.
oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Nkulinako ensonga, ggwe Sidoni, era ndyegulumiza mu ggwe. Balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndimubonereza, ne neeraga mu ye okuba omutukuvu.
23 And I will send out against her pestilence, and blood-[shedding] into her streets; and the deadly wounded shall be felled in the midst of her by the sword [that is] against her from every side: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Ndiweereza kawumpuli ku ye, era ndikulukusa omusaayi mu nguudo ze. Abafu baligwa wakati mu ye, ekitala kimulumbe enjuuyi zonna. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.
24 And there shall be no more unto the house of Israel a pricking brier, nor painful thorn from all that are round about them, that despoil them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Eternal.
“‘Tewalibaawo nate eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri omweramannyo ogufumita newaakubadde eriggwa eribafumita okuva mu baliraanwa abalina ettima. Era balimanya nga nze Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
25 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, When I gather the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified on them before the eyes of the nations: then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Bwe ndikuŋŋaanya abantu ba Isirayiri okubaggya mu mawanga gye baasaasaanyizibwa, nditukuzibwa mu bo mu maaso g’amawanga, era balituula mu nsi eyaabwe gye nawa omuddu wange Yakobo.
26 And they shall dwell thereupon in safety, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell in safety; when I execute judgments on all those that despoiled them from round about them: and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.
Balituula omwo mirembe, era balizimba amayumba ne basimba n’ennimiro ez’emizabbibu. Bwe ndibonereza baliraanwa baabwe bonna abaabayisa obubi, bo baliba batudde mirembe. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda waabwe.’”
