< Ezekiel 26 >

1 And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, there has been a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
Awo olwatuuka mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu ku lunaku olw’olubereberye mu mwezi, ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 Because that Tyre has said of Jerusalem: Aha, she has been broken, The doors of the peoples, She has turned around to me, I am filled—she has been laid waste,
“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 said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Tyre, And have caused many nations to come up against you, As the sea causes its billows to come up.
Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Nkuvunaana ggwe Ttuulo, ndiyimusa amawanga mangi gakulumbe, ng’ennyanja bw’esitula amayengo gaayo.
4 And they have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her, And made her for a clear place of a rock.
Balimenya bbugwe wa Ttuulo, ne basuula n’emirongooti gye, era ndiggyawo ebifunfugu bye byonna ne mmufuula olwazi olwereere.
5 She is a spreading place of nets in the midst of the sea, For I have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “And she has been for a spoil to 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 who [are] in the field, are slain by sword, And they have known that I [am] YHWH,”
era ebifo bye eby’oku lukalu kw’abeera birimalibwawo ekitala. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.
7 For thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I am bringing Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Tyre, From the north—a king of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even an assembly, 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 He slays your daughters in the field by sword, And he has made a fort against you, And has poured out a mound against you, And has raised a buckler against you.
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 he places a battering-ram before him against your walls, And he breaks your towers with his weapons.
Alitunuza ebintu bye ebitomera eri bbugwe wo, n’amenyaamenya emirongooti gyo n’ebyokulwanyisa bye.
10 From the abundance of his horses their dust cover you, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Your walls shake, in his coming into your gates, As the coming into a city that has been broken-up.
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 He treads all your out-places with [the] hooves of his horses, He slays your people by sword, And the pillars of your strength come down to the earth.
Embalaasi ze ziririnyirira enguudo zo; n’abantu bo alibatta n’ekitala era n’empagi zo ez’amaanyi zirisuulibwa ku ttaka.
12 And they have spoiled your wealth, And they have plundered your merchandise, And they have thrown down your walls, And they break down your desirable houses, And your stones, and your wood, and your dust, They place in the midst of the waters.
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 have caused the noise of your songs to cease, And the voice of your harps is heard no more.
Ndikomya okuyimba kwo, era n’amaloboozi ag’ennanga zo tegaliwulirwa nate.
14 And I have given you up for a clear place of a rock, You are a spreading-place of nets, You are not built up anymore, For I, YHWH, have spoken,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Ndikufuula olwazi olwereere, era olibeera ekifo eky’okwanjulurizangamu obutimba obw’ebyennyanja. Tolizimbibwa nate, kubanga nze Mukama njogedde, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’
15 Thus said Lord YHWH to Tyre: “Do not—from the noise of your fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the slaying of the slaughter in your midst—The islands shake?
“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 And all princes of the sea have come down from off their thrones, And they have turned their robes aside, And strip off their embroidered garments, They put on trembling, They sit on the earth, And they have trembled every moment, And they have been astonished at you,
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 have lifted up a lamentation for you, And said to you: How you have perished, That are inhabited from the seas, The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who put their terror on all her inhabitants!
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 the islands tremble [on the] day of your fall; The islands that [are] in the sea have been troubled at your outgoing.”
Kaakano olubalama lw’ennyanja lukankana ku lunaku olw’okugwa kwo, era n’ebizinga ebiri mu nnyanja bitidde olw’okugwa kwo.’
19 For thus said Lord YHWH: “In My making you a city dried up, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing up the deep against you, Then the great waters have covered you.
“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 And I have caused you to go down, With those going down to the pit, To the people of old, And I have caused you to dwell In the lower parts of the earth—in ancient ruins, With those going down to the pit, So that you are not inhabited, And I have given beauty in the land of the living.
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 I make you a terror, and you are not, And you are sought, and are not found anymore—for all time,” A declaration of Lord YHWH!
Ndikutuusa ku nkomerero embi, so toliwulirwa nate. Balikunoonya, naye toliddayo kulabika,’ bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
