Ezekiel 16
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, and you have said,
“Omwana w’omuntu manyisa Yerusaalemi ebikolwa bye eby’ekivve,
3 Thus said Lord YHWH to Jerusalem: Your birth and your nativity [Are] of the land of the Canaanite, Your father the Amorite, and your mother a Hittite.
oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri Yerusaalemi: Wasibuka era n’ozaalibwa mu nsi ey’Abakanani; Kitaawo yali Mwamoli, ne nnyoko nga Mukiiti.
4 As for your nativity, in the day you were born, Your navel has not been cut, And you were not washed in water for ease, And you have not been salted at all, And you have not been swaddled at all.
Ku lunaku kwe wazaalirwa, tewasalibwa kkundi, so tewanaazibwa na mazzi kutukula, newaakubadde okusiigibwa omunnyo, newaakubadde okubikkibwa mu ngoye.
5 No eye has had pity on you, to do any of these to you, To have compassion on you, And you are cast on the face of the field, With loathing of your soul In the day you were born!
Tewali yakusaasira so tewali yakukwatirwa kisa kukukolera ebintu ebyo byonna, naye wasuulibwa ebweru ku ttale, kubanga wanyoomebwa okuva ku lunaku kwe wazaalirwa.
6 And I pass over by you, And I see you trodden down in your blood, And I say to you in your blood, Live! Indeed, I say to you in your blood, Live!
“‘Bwe nnali nga mpitaayita ne nkulaba ng’osambagala mu musaayi gwo, ne nkugamba nti, “Ba mulamu!”
7 I have made you a myriad as the shoot of the field, And you are multiplied, and are great, And come in with an excellent adornment, Breasts have been formed, and your hair has grown—And you, naked and bare!
Ne nkukuza ne nkulabirira ng’ekimuli mu nnimiro. N’okula n’owanvuwa n’olabika bulungi nnyo mu maaso ng’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi; n’osuna amabeere, n’enviiri zo ne zikula, ggwe eyali obwereere nga tobikkiddwako.
8 And I pass over by you, and I see you, And behold, your time [is] a time of loves, And I spread My skirt over you, And I cover your nakedness, And I swear to you, and come into a covenant with you, A declaration of Lord YHWH, And you become Mine.
“‘Oluvannyuma lwa bbanga, bwe nnali nga mpitaayita, ne nkulengera ne ndaba ng’okuze era ng’otuuse okufumbirwa, ne nkwaliirako ekirenge kyange ne mbikka ku bwereere bwo; ne nkulayirira ne nkola naawe endagaano, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, n’ofuuka wange.
9 And I wash you with water, And I wash away your blood from off you, And I anoint you with oil.
“‘Ne nkunaaza n’amazzi, ne nkunaazaako omusaayi, ne nkusiigako amafuta.
10 And I clothe you with embroidery, And I shoe you with tachash [skin], And I gird you with fine linen, And I cover you with figured silk.
Ne nkwambaza olugoye oluliko omudalizo, ne nkuwa n’engatto ez’amaliba; ne nkwambaza olugoye olwa linena ne nkubikkako engoye ez’omuwendo omungi.
11 And I adorn you with adornments, And I give bracelets for your hands, And a chain for your neck.
Ne kunaanika amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi; ne nkuteeka ebikomo ku mukono, n’omukuufu mu bulago,
12 And I give a ring for your nose, And rings for your ears, And a crown of beauty on your head.
ne nkuteeka empeta mu nnyindo, n’eby’omu matu ku matu, ne nkutikkira n’engule ku mutwe.
13 And you put on gold and silver, And your clothing [is] fine linen, And figured silk and embroidery, You have eaten fine flour, and honey, and oil, And you are very, very beautiful, And go prosperously to the kingdom.
Wayonjebwa ne zaabu n’effeeza, n’engoye zo zaali za linena, n’ebyambalo byo byali byamuwendo mungi era nga biriko omudalizo. Walyanga emmere ey’obutta obulungi, n’omubisi gw’enjuki n’omuzigo ogw’omuzeyituuni. Walungiwa nnyo n’otuuka ku mwaliiro ery’obwa kabaka omukazi.
14 And your name goes forth among nations, Because of your beauty—for it [is] complete, In My honor that I have set on you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Ettutumu lyo lyabuna mu mawanga olw’obulungi bwo, kubanga nakuwa ekitiibwa kyange, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
15 And you trust in your beauty, And go whoring because of your renown, And pour out your whoredoms on everyone passing by—to him [that would have] it.
“‘Naye weesiga obulungi bwo, n’okozesa ettutumu lyo okukola obwenzi, n’ofuka obukaba bwo ku buli eyayitangawo obulungi bwo ne bufuuka bubwe.
16 And you take from your garments, And make spotted high-places for yourself, And go whoring on them, They are not coming in—nor will it be!
Waddira ebimu ku byambalo byo ne weekolera ebifo ebigulumivu nga byamabala mangi, gye wakoleranga obwenzi bwo. Ebintu bwe bityo tebikolebwa, era tebikolebwanga.
17 And you take your beautiful vessels Of My gold and My silver that I gave to you, And make images of a male for yourself, And go whoring with them,
Ate era waddira emikuufu emirungi gye nnali nkuwadde, egyakolebwa mu zaabu n’effeeza bye nakuwa, ne weekolera bakatonda abalala abali mu bifaananyi eby’ekisajja, bw’otyo n’okola eby’obwenzi nabyo,
18 And you take the garments of your embroidery, And cover them, And you have set My oil and My incense before them.
n’oddira ebyambalo byo ebiriko emidalizo n’obibikkako, n’oteeka omuzigo gwange n’obubaane bwange mu maaso gaabyo.
19 And My bread, that I gave to you, Fine flour, and oil, and honey, that I caused you to eat. You have even set it before them, For a refreshing fragrance—thus it is, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
N’emmere gye nnali nkuwadde, obuwunga obw’obutta, n’omuzigo ogw’omuzeyituuni n’omubisi gw’enjuki bye nnali nkuwadde okulya, wabiwaayo okuba ebiweebwayo eby’evvumbe eddungi eri bbyo. Era bw’otyo bwe wakola, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
20 And you take your sons and your daughters whom you have born to Me, And sacrifice them to them for food. Is it a little thing because of your whoredoms,
“‘Waddira batabani bo ne bawala bo be wanzaalira, n’obawaayo ng’ebiweebwayo eby’emmere eri bakatonda abalala. Obwenzi bwe wakola bwali tebumala?
21 that you slaughter My sons, And give them up in causing them to pass over to them?
Watta abaana bange n’obawaayo ng’ebiweebwayo eri bakatonda abalala.
22 And with all your abominations and your whoredoms, You have not remembered the days of your youth, When you were naked and bare, You were trodden down in your blood!
Mu bikolwa byo byonna eby’ekivve n’obwenzi bwo, tewajjukira biseera eby’obuvubuka bwo, bwe wali obwereere nga toliiko bw’oli, era ng’osambagala mu musaayi gwo.
23 And it comes to pass, after all your wickedness (Woe, woe, to you—a declaration of Lord YHWH),
“‘Zikusanze! Zikusanze, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Mu bikolwa byo ebibi byonna,
24 That you build an arch for yourself, And make a high place for yourself in every broad place.
weezimbira ekifo ekigulumivu ne weekolera n’essabo mu buli kibangirizi ekigazi eky’ekibuga.
25 At every head of the way you have built your high place, And you make your beauty abominable, And open wide your feet to everyone passing by, And multiply your whoredoms,
Buli luguudo we lusibuka, wazimbawo essabo lyo, n’okolerawo obwenzi, ng’owaayo omubiri gwo mu bukaba obungi eri buli eyayitangawo.
26 And go whoring to sons of Egypt, Your neighbors—great of appetite! And you multiply your whoredoms, To provoke Me to anger.
Weetaba mu bwenzi ne baliraanwa bo abakaba Abamisiri, n’oyongera ku bukaba bwo n’onsunguwaza.
27 And behold, I have stretched out My hand against you, And I diminish your portion, And give you to the desire of those hating you, The daughters of the Philistines, Who are ashamed of your wicked way.
Kyenava nkugololerako omukono gwange ne nkendeeza ku nsalo yo, ne nkuwaayo eri omululu gw’abalabe bo abawala b’Abafirisuuti, abeekanga olw’obukaba bwo.
28 And you go whoring to sons of Asshur, Without your being satisfied, And you go whoring with them, And also—you have not been satisfied.
Weetaba mu bikolwa eby’obwenzi n’Abasuuli, kubanga tewamalibwa, ate n’oluvannyuma lw’ekyo n’otamatira.
29 And you multiply your whoredoms On the land of Canaan—toward Chaldea, And even with this you have not been satisfied.
N’oluvannyuma n’oyongerayo ebikolwa byo eby’obukaba mu Bakaludaaya, ensi ey’ebyamaguzi, naye era n’otamalibwa.
30 How weak [is] your heart, A declaration of Lord YHWH, In your doing all these, The work of a domineering, whorish woman.
“‘Omutima gwo nga munafu, n’okwewaayo ne weewaayo okukola ebintu ebyo byonna, ne weeyisa ng’omwenzi ow’amawaggali ateefiirayo.
31 In your building your arch at the head of every way, You have made your high place in every broad place, And have not been as a whore deriding a wage.
Bwe wazimba ebifo byo ebigulumivu buli luguudo we lusibuka, n’oteeka amasabo go mu buli kibangirizi ekigazi, tewafaanana ng’omwenzi kubanga wanyoomanga empeera.
32 The wife who commits adultery—Under her husband—receives strangers.
“‘Ggwe omukazi omwenzi eyeegomba abatambuze okusinga balo!
33 They give a gift to all whores, And you have given your gifts to all your lovers, And bribe them to come in to you, From all around—in your whoredoms.
Buli mwenzi afuna empeera, naye ggwe owa baganzi bo bonna ebirabo, ng’obagulirira okujja gy’oli okuva buli wamu olw’obwenzi bwo.
34 And you are opposite from [other] women in your whoredoms, That none go whoring after you; And in your giving a wage, And a wage has not been given to you; Therefore you are the opposite.
Era mu bikolwa byo eby’obwenzi tofaanana ng’abalala; tewali akusindika kukola bwenzi. Oli wanjawulo okuva ku balala kubanga osasula empeera, naye ate nga tewali akusasula.
35 Therefore, O whore, hear a word of YHWH!
“‘Kale nno, wulira ekigambo kya Mukama ggwe omwenzi.
36 Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of your bronze being poured forth, And your nakedness is revealed in your whoredoms near your lovers, And near all the idols of your abominations, And according to the blood of your sons, Whom you have given to them;
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Olw’obugagga bwo bwe walaga, n’oyanika obwereere bwo wakati mu baganzi bo ng’okola ebikolwa eby’obwenzi, n’olwa bakatonda bo abalala ab’ekivve, n’okuwaayo omusaayi gw’abaana bo,
37 Therefore, behold, I am assembling all your lovers, To whom you have been sweet, And all whom you have loved, Besides all whom you have hated; And I have assembled them by you all around, And have revealed your nakedness to them, And they have seen all your nakedness.
kyendiva nkuŋŋaanya baganzi bo bonna, be wasinza, bonna be wayagala ne be wakyawa, gy’oli ne bakwetooloola, ne nkufungulirira mu maaso gaabwe, balabe obwereere bwo.
38 And I have judged you—judgments of adultresses, And of women shedding blood, And have given you blood, fury, and jealousy.
Ndikusalira omusango ne nkuwa ekibonerezo ng’eky’abakazi abenzi n’abo abayiwa omusaayi, ne nkuleetako omusaayi ogw’ekiruyi n’obuggya.
39 And I have given you into their hand, And they have thrown down your arch, And they have broken down your high places, And they have stripped you of your garments, And they have taken your beautiful vessels, And they have left you naked and bare.
N’oluvannyuma ndikuwaayo mu mukono gw’abaganzi bo; balimenyaamenya ebifo byo ebigulumivu, ne bazikiriza amasabo go. Era balikwambula ebyambalo byo, ne batwala eby’omuwendo byo, ne bakuleka ng’oli bukunya.
40 And have caused an assembly to come up against you, And stoned you with stones, And thrust you through with their swords,
Balisendasenda enkuyanja y’abantu, ne bakukuba amayinja, ne bakutemaatema obufiififi n’ebitala byabwe.
41 And burned your houses with fire, And done judgments in you before the eyes of many women, And I have caused you to cease from going whoring, And also, you no longer give a wage.
Balyokya amayumba go ne bakubonereza mu maaso g’abakyala abangi, era ndikulesaayo ebikolwa byo eby’obwenzi so tolisasula baganzi bo mpeera.
42 And I have caused My fury against you to rest, And My jealousy has turned aside from you, And I have been quiet, and I am not angry anymore.
N’oluvannyuma obusungu bwange bulikendeera, n’obuggya bwange bulikuvaako, era ndiba mukkakkamu, nga sirina busungu.
43 Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, And give trouble to Me in all these, Therefore I also—behold—I put your way on [your own] head, A declaration of Lord YHWH, And you will not have done—have done this wickedness above all your abominations.
“‘Kubanga tojjukira biseera eby’obuvubuka bwo, n’onnyiiza n’ebintu ebyo byonna; kyendiva nkuleetako omusango olw’ebikolwa byo, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Ku bukaba obwo bwonna si kwe wayongera ebikolwa ebyo byonna eby’ekivve?
44 Behold, everyone using the allegory against you, Uses [this] allegory concerning [you], saying, As the mother—her daughter!
“‘Buli agera engero anaakugereranga olugero luno nga boogera nti, “Nnyina ne muwala we batyo.”
45 You [are] your mother’s daughter, Loathing her husband and her sons, And you [are] your sisters’ sister, Who loathed their husbands and their sons, Your mother [is] a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Oli muwala wa nnyoko ddala, eyanyooma bba n’abaana be, era oli mwannyina ddala owa baganda bo abanyooma ba bbaabwe n’abaana baabwe. Nnyoko yali Mukiiti, kitaawo nga Mwamoli.
46 And your older sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters, Who is dwelling at your left hand, And your younger sister, who is dwelling on your right hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.
Mukulu wo yali Samaliya eyabeeranga ne bawala be ku luuyi lwo olw’Obukiikakkono, ne muto wo ne bawala be nga babeera ku luuyi lwo olw’Obukiikaddyo, era nga ye Sodomu.
47 And you have not walked in their ways, And done according to their abominations, It has been loathed as a little thing, Indeed, you do more corruptly than they in all your ways.
Tewakoma ku kugoberera ngeri zaabwe kyokka, n’okukoppa ebikolwa byabwe eby’ekivve, naye waayitawo ebbanga ttono engeri zo zonna ne zisukka ku zaabwe obubi.
48 [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Your sister Sodom has not done—she and her daughters—As you have done—you and your daughters.
Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, muganda wo Sodomu ne bawala be tebaatuuka ku ssa, ggwe ne bawala bo kwe mwatuuka.
49 Behold, this has been the iniquity of your sister Sodom, Arrogancy, fullness of bread, and quiet ease, Have been to her and to her daughters, And the hand of the afflicted and needy She has not strengthened.
“‘Guno gwe musango muganda wo Sodomu gwe yazza: ye ne bawala be baali baamalala, nga baamululu abatafaayo, wadde okuyamba abaavu abaali mu bwetaavu.
50 And they are haughty and do abomination before Me, And I turn them aside when I have seen.
Baali baamalala, era baakola ebikolwa eby’ekivve mu maaso gange, kyennava mbaggyawo nga bwe nasiima.
51 And Samaria has not sinned even half of your sins, But you multiply your abominations more than they, And justify your sisters by all your abominations that you have done.
So ne Samaliya teyatuuka awo; wakola ebikolwa eby’ekivve okusinga ne bwe baakola, era n’oleetera baganda bo okulabika ng’abatuukirivu mu ebyo byonna by’okola.
52 You also—bear your shame, That you have adjudged for your sisters, Because of your sins that you have done more abominably than they, They are more righteous than you, And you, also, be ashamed and bear your shame, In your justifying your sisters.
Kaakano naawe k’ojjule ensonyi, kubanga owolereza baganda bo, ate n’ebibi bye wakola biswaza okusinga ebyabwe, kyebaliva balabika nga batuukirivu okukusinga. Kyonoova oswala, ne weetikka obuswavu bwo, kubanga oleetedde baganda bo okulabika ng’abatuukirivu.
53 And I have turned back [to] their captivity, The captivity of Sodom and her daughters, And the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, And the captivity of your captives in their midst,
“‘Wabula ndizzaawo obugagga bwa Sodomu ne bawala be, n’obwa Samaliya ne bawala be, ate ne nzizaawo n’obubwo,
54 So that you bear your shame, And have been ashamed of all that you have done, In your comforting them.
olyoke weetikke obuswavu bwo, oswale mu maaso gaabwe olw’ebyo byonna bye wakola ng’obawooyawooya.
55 And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Return to their former state, And Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, And you and your daughters return to your former state.
Baganda bo, Sodomu wamu ne bawala be, ne Samaliya wamu ne bawala be baliddayo nga bwe baali edda, ate naawe oliddayo n’obeera nga bwe wali edda.
56 And your sister Sodom has not been for a report in your mouth, In the day of your arrogancy,
Lwaki muganda wo Sodomu teyayogerwako ku lunaku olw’amalala go,
57 Before your wickedness is revealed, As [at] the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, And of all her neighbors, the daughters of the Philistines, Who are despising you all around.
okwonoona kwo nga tekunnabikkulwa? Kaakano ofuuse kyakusekererwa eri abawala ab’e Busuuli ne baliraanwa be bonna, n’eri abawala aba Bufirisuuti, abo bonna abakwetoolodde abakunyooma.
58 Your wicked plans and your abominations, You have borne them, a declaration of YHWH.
Olibonerezebwa olw’obukaba bwo n’ebikolwa byo eby’ekivve, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
59 For thus said Lord YHWH: I have dealt with you as you have done, In that you have despised an oath—to break covenant.
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndikukola nga bwe kikusaanira, kubanga wanyooma ekirayiro kyange, bwe wamenya endagaano.
60 And I have remembered My covenant with you, In the days of your youth, And I have established a perpetual covenant for you.
Naye ndijjukira endagaano gye nakola naawe mu biseera eby’obuvubuka bwo, era ndissaawo endagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.
61 And you have remembered your ways, And you have been ashamed, In your receiving your sisters—Your older with your younger, And I have given them to you for daughters, And not by your covenant.
Olwo olijjukira engeri zo, n’oswala bw’olitwala baganda bo abakusinga obukulu ne bato bo, ne mbankuwa babeere bawala bo, naye si lwa ndagaano yange naawe.
62 And I have established My covenant with you, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
Ndinyweza endagaano yange naawe, era olimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda,
63 So that you remember, And you have been ashamed, And there is not an opening of the mouth to you anymore because of your shame, In My receiving atonement for you, For all that you have done, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
n’oluvannyuma olw’okutangiririrwa, olijjukira ne wejjusa n’otaddayo kwasamya nate kamwa ko, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
