Ezekiel 34
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 “Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH to the shepherds: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! Do the shepherds not feed the flock?
“Omwana w’omuntu, yogera ebyobunnabbi eri abasumba ba Isirayiri, obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Zibasanze abasumba ba Isirayiri abeefaako bokka. Abasumba tebasaanye kuliisa ndiga?
3 You eat the fat, and you put on the wool, You slaughter the fed one, You do not feed the flock.
Mulya amasavu, ne mwambala ebyoya, ne mutta ensolo ensava, naye temufaayo ku bisibo.
4 You have not strengthened the weak, And you have not healed the sick one, And you have not bound up the broken, And have not brought back the driven away, And you have not sought the lost, And you have ruled them with might and with rigor.
Ennafu temuzizzaamu maanyi, so n’endwadde temuzijjanjabye, so n’ezirumizibbwa temusibye biwundu byazo, so n’ezibuze temuzikomezzaawo, naye muzifuze n’amaanyi.
5 And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Indeed, they are scattered.
Kyezaava zisaasaana, kubanga tezaalina musumba, ne ziba kya kulya eri ensolo enkambwe zonna ez’omu nsiko.
6 My flock goes astray on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And My flock has been scattered on [the] whole face of the earth, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
Endiga zange zaasaasaana, ne zibuna ku nsozi zonna na ku buli kasozi akawanvu, ne zisaasaana okubuna ensi yonna, ne zibulwako azinoonya wadde okuzibuuliriza.
7 Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:
“‘Noolwekyo mmwe abasumba, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama:
8 [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Indeed, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds feed themselves, And they have not fed My flock.
Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, olw’endiga zange okufuuka omuyiggo, n’ekyokulya eri ensolo enkambwe zonna, kubanga tezirina musumba, ate era n’abasumba ne batazinoonya, naye ne beefaako bokka, ne bataliisa ndiga zange,
9 Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH!
kale mmwe abasumba muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama.
10 Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And the shepherds feed themselves no more, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not for food to them.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nnina ensonga ku basumba, era ndibavunaana olw’ekisibo kyange. Ndibaggyako okulabirira endiga mulekeraawo okuzifuula ekyokulya. Ndiwonya endiga zange mu kamwa kaabwe, zireme okuba ekyokulya kyabwe.
11 For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I—even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.
“‘Era bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nze kennyini ndinoonya endiga zange ne nzirabirira.
12 As a shepherd’s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, To where they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.
Ng’omusumba bw’alabirira ekisibo kye ng’ezimu ku ndiga zisaasaanye okumuvaako, bwe ntyo bwe ndizirabirira. Ndiziggya mu bifo byonna gye zaasaasaanira ku lunaku olw’ebire olw’ekizikiza.
13 And I have brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them to their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.
Ndiziggya mu mawanga ne nzikuŋŋaanya mu nsi gye zaasaasaanira ne nzikomyawo mu nsi yaazo. Ndiziriisiza ku nsozi za Isirayiri okumpi n’enzizi ne mu bifo byonna ebibeerwamu mu nsi.
14 I feed them with good pasture, And their habitation is on mountains of the high place of Israel, There they lie down in a good habitation, And they enjoy fat pastures on mountains of Israel.
Ndizirabiririra mu ddundiro eddungi ne ku ntikko z’ensozi za Isirayiri we zirirundirwa. Eyo gye zirigalamira mu ddundiro eddungi era gye ziririira omuddo omugimu ku nsozi za Isirayiri.
15 I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Nze kennyini ndirabirira endiga zange, ne nzigalamiza wansi mirembe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
16 I seek the lost, and bring back the driven away, And I bind up the broken, and I strengthen the sick, And I destroy the fat and the strong, I feed it with judgment.
Ndinoonya ezaabula, ne nkomyawo ezaawaba. Ndigyanjaba ezaalumizibwa, ne ŋŋumya ennafu, naye ensava era ez’amaanyi ndizizikiriza. Ndirunda ekisibo mu bwenkanya.
17 And you, My flock, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and male goats.
“‘Nammwe ekisibo kyange, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndisala omusango wakati w’endiga emu ne ginnaayo ne wakati w’endiga ennume n’embuzi.
18 Is it a little thing for you—[that] you enjoy the good pasture, And tread down the remnant of your pasture with your feet, And drink a depth of waters, And trample the remainder with your feet,
Tekibamala okulya omuddo? Kale ate lwaki mulinnyirira ogusigaddewo mu ddundiro, nga n’okunywa mwanywa amazzi amayonjo, naye ne musiikuula agaasigalawo n’ebigere byammwe!
19 And My flock consumes the trodden thing of your feet, And drinks the trampled thing of your feet?
Olwo endiga zange zirye bye mwalinnyirira n’okunywa zinywe amazzi ge mwasiikuula n’ebigere byammwe?
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH to them: Behold, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.
“‘Mukama Katonda kyava abagamba nti, Laba, nze kennyini ndisala omusango wakati w’endiga ensava n’endiga enkovvu.
21 Because you thrust away with side and with shoulder, And push all the diseased with your horns, Until you have scattered them to the out-place,
Kubanga mwewaana nga muyimusa ebifuba ne musindikiriza ennafu zonna ne muzitomera n’amayembe gammwe okutuusa lwe muzifulumya ebweru,
22 Therefore I have given safety to My flock, And they are not for prey anymore, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.
ndiwonyawo ekisibo kyange so teziriba nate muyiggo. Ndisala omusango mu bwenkanya wakati w’endiga n’endiga.
23 And have raised up one shepherd over them, And he has fed them—My servant David, He feeds them, and he is their shepherd,
Ndiziwa omusumba omu, omuweereza wange Dawudi, alizirunda; alizirabirira era aliba musumba waabwe.
24 And I, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David [is] prince in their midst, I, YHWH, have spoken.
Nze Mukama ndiba Katonda waabwe, n’omuddu wange Dawudi aliba mulangira mu bo. Nze Mukama njogedde.
25 And I have made a covenant of peace with them, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt confidently in a wilderness, And they have slept in forests.
“‘Ndikola endagaano yange ezisuubiza emirembe, era ndigoba mu nsi ensolo enkambwe, zibeerenga mu ddungu era zeebakenga mu bibira mirembe nga tezirumbibwa.
26 And I have given them, and the outskirts of My hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, They are showers of blessing.
Ndiziwa omukisa wamu n’ebifo ebyetoolodde akasozi kange, era ndibatonnyeseza enkuba mu ntuuko yaayo; walibaawo enkuba ey’omukisa.
27 And the tree of the field has given its fruit, And the land gives her increase, And they have been confident on their land, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.
Emiti egy’omu ttale girireeta ebibala byagyo, n’ettaka lirimeza ebimera byalyo, era n’abantu balituula mirembe mu nsi yaabwe. Balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndimenya ebisiba eby’ekikoligo kyabwe ne mbawonya mu mukono gwabwo abaabafuula abaddu.
28 And they are no longer a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth does not devour them, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
Teziriba munyago nate eri amawanga, so n’ensolo enkambwe tezirizitaagulataagula. Zirituula mirembe so tewaliba muntu n’omu azitiisatiisa.
29 And I have raised a plantation of renown for them, And they are no longer consumed by hunger in the land, And they no longer bear the shame of the nations.
Ndiziwa ensi emanyiddwa olw’ebirime byayo, zireme okulumwa enjala nate mu nsi newaakubadde okunyoomebwa amawanga.
30 And they have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Era zirimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda waazo, ndi wamu nazo, era nga zo, ennyumba ya Isirayiri, bantu bange, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
31 And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, You [are] men [and] I [am] your God, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
Mmwe ndiga zange, endiga ez’eddundiro lyange, muli bantu bange, era nze ndi Katonda wammwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
