Ezekiel 44
1 And he causes me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
Awo omusajja n’ankomyawo ku mulyango ogw’ebweru ogw’Awatukuvu ogutunuulira obuvanjuba; gwali muggale.
2 And YHWH says to me, “This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none go in by it, for YHWH, God of Israel, has come in by it, and it has been shut.
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omulyango guno gwa kusigalanga nga muggale. Teguteekwa kugulwanga newaakubadde omuntu yenna okuguyitangamu. Gwa kusigalanga nga muggale kubanga Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri yaguyitamu.
3 The prince, who [is] prince, he sits by it to eat bread before YHWH, he comes in by the way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he goes out.”
Omulangira yennyini, ye yekka anaatulanga mu mulyango n’aliira mu maaso ga Mukama, era nnaayingiranga ng’ayita mu kkubo ery’ekisasi eky’omulyango, ne mu kkubo eryo mw’anaafulumiranga.”
4 And he brings me in the way of the north gate to the front of the house, and I look, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH, and I fall on my face.
Awo omusajja n’ankulembera ne tuyita mu kkubo ery’omulyango ogw’Obukiikakkono n’antwala mu maaso ga yeekaalu. Ne ntunula ne ndaba ekitiibwa kya Mukama nga kijjudde yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne nvuunama.
5 And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, set your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, all that I am speaking with you, all of the statutes of the house of YHWH, and all of its laws; and you have set your heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, tunula weetegereze, owulirize bulungi era osseeyo omwoyo eri buli kye n’akugamba ku biragiro ebikwata ku nzirukanya ya yeekaalu ya Mukama. Tunula weetegereze bulungi awayingirirwa mu yeekaalu n’awafulumirwa wonna aw’Awatukuvu.
6 and have said to [the] rebellion, to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Enough from you—of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
Tegeeza ennyumba ya Isirayiri enjeemu nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; ebikolwa byammwe eby’emizizo bikome, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri.’
7 In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to defile it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,
Ate n’okwogera ku ebyo ebikolwa byammwe eby’emizizo byonna, mukkiriza bannaggwanga, abatali bakomole mu mutima newaakubadde omubiri okuyingira Awatukuvu wange, ne boonoona eyeekaalu yange nga mmwe bwe mumpeerayo emmere, amasavu n’omusaayi ne mumenya endagaano yange.
8 and you have not kept [the] charge of My holy things, and you set [others] for keeping My charge in My sanctuary for you.
Mu kifo eky’okukola ebibagwanira ng’ebintu byange ebitukuvu bwe biri, abalala bannaggwanga be mwakwasa okuvunaanyizibwa empya zange.
9 Thus said Lord YHWH: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, comes into My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Kale Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Tewaliba munnaggwanga n’omu atali mukomole mu mutima newaakubadde omubiri aliyingira mu Watukuvu wange, newaakubadde bannaggwanga ababeera mu Bayisirayiri wakati.
10 And the Levites who have gone far off from Me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
“‘Naye Abaleevi abanvaako, Isirayiri bwe yakyama, ne bagoberera bakatonda abalala, balibonerezebwa.
11 And they have been servants in My sanctuary, overseers at the gates of the house, and servants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.
Baliba baweereza mu watukuvu wange, nga balabirira emiryango gya yeekaalu, era ng’omwo mwe baweerereza; banattiranga abantu ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ne ssaddaaka, era banabaweerezanga.
12 Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been for a stumbling-block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up My hand against them—a declaration of Lord YHWH—and they have borne their iniquity.
Naye kubanga baabaweerereza mu maaso ga bakatonda abalala, ne baleetera ennyumba ya Isirayiri okugwa mu kibi, kyendiva mbalayirira okubabonereza olw’ekibi kyabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
13 And they do not draw near to Me to act as My priest, and to draw near to any of My holy things, to the Holy of Holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
Tebalinsemberera kumpeereza nga bakabona newaakubadde okusemberera ekintu kyonna ku bintu byange ebitukuvu, oba ebiweebwayo byange ebitukuvu ennyo; kubanga baakola ebiswaza n’eby’ekivve.
14 and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
Naye ndibalonda okuvunaanyizibwa emirimu gya yeekaalu, n’eby’okukola byonna ebiteekwa okukolebwa mu yo.
15 And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near to Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring fat and blood near to Me—a declaration of Lord YHWH:
“‘Naye bakabona Abaleevi ne bazzukulu ba Zadooki, abavunaanyizibwa emirimu mu watukuvu wange n’obwesigwa, ng’abaana ba Isirayiri banjeemedde, balisembera okumpi nange ne bampeereza, era be baliyimirira mu maaso gange okuwangayo gye ndi amasavu n’omusaayi, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
16 they come into My sanctuary, and they draw near to My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.
Abo bokka be banaayingiranga mu watukuvu wange, era be banaasemberanga okumpi n’emmeeza yange okumpeerezanga, n’okukuumanga ebyo bye mbalagira.
17 And it has come to pass, in their going into the gates of the inner court, they put on linen garments; and no wool comes up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.
“‘Bwe banaayingiranga mu miryango egy’oluggya olw’omunda banaayambalanga ebyambalo ebya linena; tebateekwa kwambalanga byambalo bya byoya by’endiga, nga baweerereza mu miryango egy’oluggya olw’omunda ne munda wa yeekaalu.
18 Linen headdresses are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.
Baneesibanga ebitambala ku mutwe nga bya linena, n’engoye ez’omunda nga za linena. Tebateekwa kwambalanga kintu n’ekimu ekibatuuyanya.
19 And in their going forth to the outer court—to the outer court to the people—they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.
Bwe banaabanga bafuluma nga balaga mu luggya olw’ebweru eri abantu, banaayambulangamu ebyambalo byabwe bye baweererezaamu, ne babitereka mu bisenge ebyatukuzibwa, ne bambala engoye endala balemenga okutukuza abantu n’ebyambalo byabwe.
20 And they do not shave their head, and they do not send forth the lock; they certainly trim their heads.
“‘Tebateekwa kumwa mitwe gyabwe newaakubadde okuleka enviiri zaabwe okukula ennyo, naye banaazisalangako ne zisigala nga nto.
21 And no priest drinks wine in their coming into the inner court.
Tewabanga kabona n’omu anywa nvinnyo ng’ayingidde mu luggya olw’omunda.
22 And they do not take a widow or divorced woman to themselves for wives, but they take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest.
Tebateekeddwa kuwasa bannamwandu newaakubadde eyanoba, naye banaawasanga abawala embeerera nga ba lulyo lwa Isirayiri oba nga bannamwandu ba bakabona.
23 And they direct My people between holy and common, and they cause them to discern between unclean and clean.
Banaayigirizanga abantu bange enjawulo wakati w’ekitukuvu n’ekitali kitukuvu, era nga babalaga enjawulo wakati w’ekirongoofu n’ekitali kirongoofu.
24 And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; they judge it with My judgments; and they keep My law and My statutes in all My appointed places; and they sanctify My Sabbaths.
“‘Bwe wanaabangawo enkaayana, bakabona be banaabanga abalamuzi, okusalawo ng’ebiragiro byange bwe biri. Banaakumanga amateeka gange n’ebiragiro byange ku mbaga zange zonna ezaalagirwa, era banaakumanga Ssabbiiti zange nga ntukuvu.
25 And he does not come near to any dead man to be defiled, but if for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who has not been to a man, they may defile themselves.
“‘Kabona taasembererenga mulambo aleme okweyonoonyesa, naye kitaawe bw’anaabanga y’afudde, oba nnyina, oba mutabani we oba muwala we, oba muganda we, oba mwannyina atafumbirwangako, kale aneeyonoonesanga.
26 And after his cleansing, they number seven days to him.
Oluvannyuma olw’okwetukuza, anaalindanga ennaku musanvu ziyite.
27 And in the day of his coming into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he brings his sin-offering near—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
Awo ku lunaku lw’anaalaganga mu luggya olw’omunda olwa watukuvu okuweereza mu watukuvu, aneweerangayo ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
28 And it has been for an inheritance to them; I [am] their inheritance, and you do not give a possession to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.
“‘Nze nnaabanga omugabo gwa bakabona. Temuubawenga mugabo na gumu mu Isirayiri; nze mugabo gwabwe.
29 The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.
Banaalyanga ebiweebwayo eby’obutta, n’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, n’ebiweebwayo olw’omusango, ne buli kintu mu Isirayiri ekiwonge eri Mukama kinaabanga kyabwe.
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every raised-offering of all, of all your raised-offerings, are the priests’; and you give the first of your dough to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
Ebisinga obulungi ku bibala byonna ebisooka ebya buli kika n’ebirabo byonna eby’omuwendo binaabanga bya bakabona. Munaabawanga obutta bwammwe obwasooka okugoyebwa, omukisa gubeerenga ku nnyumba zammwe.
31 The priests do not eat any carcass or torn thing, from the bird or from the beast.”
Bakabona tebaalyenga kintu na kimu, oba nnyonyi oba nsolo, ebisangiddwa nga bifu olumbe lwabyo nga byataagulwa nsolo.
