Ezekiel 12
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
2 “Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion, that have eyes to see, and they have not seen; they have ears to hear, and they have not heard; for they [are] a house of rebellion.
“Omwana w’omuntu obeera mu bantu abajeemu. Balina amaaso okulaba, naye tebalaba, balina n’amatu okuwulira naye tebawulira, kubanga bantu bajeemu.
3 And you, son of man, make your vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and you have removed from your place to another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
“Noolwekyo omwana w’omuntu, sibako ebibyo ogende mu buwaŋŋanguse, ate kikole misana, nga balaba ogende mu kifo ekirala. Oboolyawo balitegeera, newaakubadde nga nnyumba njeemu.
4 And you have brought forth your vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and you go forth in the evening before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal.
Fulumya ebibyo by’otwala mu buwaŋŋanguse emisana, nga balaba. Ate akawungeezi, ofulume nga balaba, ogende ng’abo abagenda mu buwaŋŋanguse.
5 You dig through the wall before their eyes, and you have brought forth by it.
Botola ekituli mu bbugwe oyiseemu ebibyo, nga balaba.
6 Carry on the shoulder before their eyes, bring forth in the darkness, cover your face, and you do not see the earth, for I have given you [as] a sign to the house of Israel.”
Biteeke ku kibegabega kyo nga balaba, obifulumye obudde nga buwungeera. Bikka ku maaso oleme okulaba ensi, kubanga nkufudde akabonero eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri.”
7 And I do so, as I have been commanded; I have brought forth my vessels as vessels of removal by day, and I have dug through the wall with my hand in the evening; I have brought forth in the darkness, I have carried away on the shoulder, before their eyes.
Ne nkola nga bwe ndagiddwa. Emisana, ne nfulumya ebintu byange nga neetegese okugenda mu buwaŋŋanguse. Akawungeezi ne nkuba ekituli mu bbugwe n’engalo zange, ne nfulumya ebyange nga mbitadde ku kibegabega kyange nga balaba, obudde nga buwungedde, enjuba ng’ebuliddeyo.
8 And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the morning, saying,
Ku makya, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
9 “Son of man, have they not said to you—the house of Israel—the house of rebellion—What are you doing?
“Omwana w’omuntu, ennyumba ya Isirayiri enjeemu teyakubuuza nti, ‘Okola ki ekyo?’
10 Say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: This burden [concerns] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst.
“Bagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, obubaka buno bukwata ku mufuzi ali mu Yerusaalemi, n’abantu ba Isirayiri bonna abaliyo.’
11 Say: I [am] your sign; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they go.
Bagambe nti, ‘Ndi kabonero gye muli.’ “Nga bwe nkoze, nabo bwe balikibakola. Baliwaŋŋangusibwa ne batwalibwa nga bawambe.
12 As for the prince who [is] in their midst, he carries on the shoulder in the darkness, and he goes forth; they dig through the wall to bring forth by it; he covers his face that he may not look on the very surface of the land.
“Omufuzi ali mu bo aliteeka ebintu bye ku kibegabega kye agende ng’obudde buwungedde, enjuba ng’ebuliddeyo, balibotola ekituli mu bbugwe ayitemu agende. Alibikka amaaso ge, aleme kulaba nsi.
13 And I have spread My net for him, and he has been caught in My snare, and I have brought him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, and he does not see it—and he dies there.
Ndimwanjuliriza ekitimba kyange, akwatibwe mu mutego gwange. Ndimutwala e Babulooni, mu nsi ey’Abakaludaaya, naye taligiraba, era eyo gy’alifiira.
14 And all who are around him to help him, and all his bands, I scatter to every wind, and I draw out a sword after them.
Ndisaasaanyiza eri empewo zonna, bonna abamwetoolodde, abakozi be n’eggye lye lyonna era ndibawondera n’ekitala ekisowoddwa.
15 And they have known that I [am] YHWH, in My scattering them among nations, and I have spread them through lands;
“Balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndibasaasaanya mu mawanga, ne mbabunya mu nsi.
16 and I have left of them, a few in number, from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, so that they recount all their abominations among the nations to where they have come, and they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Kyokka ndirekawo batono ku bo abaliwona ekitala, n’abaliwona enjala n’abaliwona kawumpuli, balyoke bejjuse olw’ebikolwa byabwe eby’emizizo, nga bali eyo mu mawanga. Olwo balitegeera nga nze Mukama.”
17 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
18 “Son of man, eat your bread in haste, and drink your water with trembling and with fear;
“Omwana w’omuntu, lya emmere yo ng’okankana, era nnywa amazzi go ng’ojugumira.”
19 and you have said to the people of the land, Thus said Lord YHWH concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: They eat their bread with fear, and drink their water with astonishment, because its land is desolate, because of its fullness, because of the violence of all who are dwelling in it.
Tegeeza abantu ab’omu nsi nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ku abo ababeera mu Yerusaalemi ne mu nsi ya Isirayiri nti, Balirya emmere yaabwe nga beeraliikirira, banywe n’amazzi gaabwe nga batya, kubanga ensi yaabwe erinyagibwa mu buli kintu ekirimu, olw’obukambwe bw’abo bonna ababeera eyo.
20 And the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the land is a desolation, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Ebibuga ebituulwamu birizikirizibwa, n’ensi n’efuuka amatongo, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama.”
21 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
22 “Son of man, what [is] this allegory to you, concerning the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision has perished?
“Omwana w’omuntu, makulu ki agali mu lugero olukwata ku nsi ya Isirayiri, olugamba nti, ‘Ennaku ziggwaayo naye teri kwolesebwa kutuukirira?’
23 Therefore say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: I have caused this allegory to cease, And they do not use it as an allegory in Israel again, But speak to them: The days have drawn near, And every vision has spoken.
Bagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ŋŋenda kukomya olugero luno, era tebaliddayo nate kulwogera, mu Isirayiri.’ Bagambe nti, ‘Ebiro binaatera okutuuka, okwolesebwa kwonna lwe kulituukirira.
24 For there is no longer any vain vision, and flattering divination, In the midst of the house of Israel.
Tewaliba nate kwolesebwa kwa bulimba newaakubadde obunnabbi obusavuwaze mu bantu ba Isirayiri.
25 For I, YHWH, speak, The word that I speak—it is done, It is not prolonged anymore, For in your days, O house of rebellion, I speak a word, and I have done it, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
Naye nze Mukama ndyogera kye ndisiima, era kirituukirira amangu ddala. Mu nnaku zo ggwe ennyumba enjeemu, ndyogera ekigambo era ndikituukiriza, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
26 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
27 “Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, The vision that he is seeing [is not] for many days, and he is prophesying of far-off times,
“Omwana w’omuntu, laba, ennyumba ya Isirayiri egamba nti, ‘Okwolesebwa kwalaba kw’amyaka mingi okuva ne kaakano, era ayogera obunnabbi obulibaawo mu bbanga ery’ewala.’
28 therefore say to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: None of My words are prolonged anymore, When I speak a word—it is done, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
“Noolwekyo bagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, tewalibaawo nate kigambo kyange na kimu ekirirwisibwa, buli kye njogera kirituukirira, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
