Ezekiel 12
1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not, which have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.
“Omwana w’omuntu obeera mu bantu abajeemu. Balina amaaso okulaba, naye tebalaba, balina n’amatu okuwulira naye tebawulira, kubanga bantu bajeemu.
3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
“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 thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
Fulumya ebibyo by’otwala mu buwaŋŋanguse emisana, nga balaba. Ate akawungeezi, ofulume nga balaba, ogende ng’abo abagenda mu buwaŋŋanguse.
5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
Botola ekituli mu bbugwe oyiseemu ebibyo, nga balaba.
6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto 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 did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
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 in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
Ku makya, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
“Omwana w’omuntu, ennyumba ya Isirayiri enjeemu teyakubuuza nti, ‘Okola ki ekyo?’
10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: This burden [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
“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: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall go into exile, into captivity.
Bagambe nti, ‘Ndi kabonero gye muli.’ “Nga bwe nkoze, nabo bwe balikibakola. Baliwaŋŋangusibwa ne batwalibwa nga bawambe.
12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the ground with his eyes.
“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 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
Ndimwanjuliriza ekitimba kyange, akwatibwe mu mutego gwange. Ndimutwala e Babulooni, mu nsi ey’Abakaludaaya, naye taligiraba, era eyo gy’alifiira.
14 And I will scatter toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
Ndisaasaanyiza eri empewo zonna, bonna abamwetoolodde, abakozi be n’eggye lye lyonna era ndibawondera n’ekitala ekisowoddwa.
15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
“Balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndibasaasaanya mu mawanga, ne mbabunya mu nsi.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
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 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
“Omwana w’omuntu, lya emmere yo ng’okankana, era nnywa amazzi go ng’ojugumira.”
19 and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
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 shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ebibuga ebituulwamu birizikirizibwa, n’ensi n’efuuka amatongo, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama.”
21 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
22 Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
“Omwana w’omuntu, makulu ki agali mu lugero olukwata ku nsi ya Isirayiri, olugamba nti, ‘Ennaku ziggwaayo naye teri kwolesebwa kutuukirira?’
23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
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 shall be no more any vain vision, nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Tewaliba nate kwolesebwa kwa bulimba newaakubadde obunnabbi obusavuwaze mu bantu ba Isirayiri.
25 For I am the LORD; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
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 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.
“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 unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord GOD.
“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.’”
