Ezekiel 3
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.
Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, lya ekiri mu maaso go, lya omuzingo gw’empapula guno; oluvannyuma ogende oyogere eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri.”
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll.
Ne njasama, n’ampa omuzingo gw’empapula ne ngulya.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, lya omuzingo gw’empapula gwe nkuwa, ojjuze olubuto lwo.” Ne ngulya, ne guwoomerera ng’omubisi gw’enjuki.
4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
Oluvannyuma n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, kaakano laga eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri oyogere ebigambo byange gye bali.
5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Sikutuma eri eggwanga eririna enjogera etategeerekeka era abalina olulimi oluzibu, b’otayinza kutegeera mu njogera, naye eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri,
6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee.
so si eri abantu abangi abalina enjogera etategeerekeka era abalina olulimi oluzibu, b’otayinza kutegeera bye bagamba. Mazima singa nakutuma gye bali, bandikuwulirizza.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are of an hard forehead and of a stiff heart.
Naye ennyumba ya Isirayiri si beetegefu kukuwuliriza kubanga si beetegefu kumpuliriza; era ennyumba ya Isirayiri yonna balina ekyenyi kikalubo n’emitima mikakanyavu.
8 Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.
Naye naawe ndikufuula omukalubo era omukakanyavu mu mutima nga bo.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
Ndifuula ekyenyi kyo okuba ng’ejjinja erikaluba ennyo, erikaluba ng’ejjinja ery’embaalebaale. Tobatya so totiisibwatiisibwa, newaakubadde nga nnyumba njeemu.”
10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shalt speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, wuliriza bulungi era okwate ebigambo byonna bye njogera naawe.
11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Genda kaakano eri abantu bo, mu buwaŋŋanguse, oyogere nabo. Bagambe nti, Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, obanga banaawulira, obanga tebaawulire.”
12 Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.
Awo Omwoyo n’ansitula, ne mpulira emabega wange eddoboozi ng’okuwuluguma okunene nga lyogera nti, “Ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyebazibwe mu kifo gy’abeera.”
13 And [I heard] the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
Okuwuuma okw’ebiwaawaatiro by’ebiramu nga bikuubagana, n’okuwuuma kwa zinnamuziga ku mabbali gaabyo kwali ng’okuwuluguma okw’amaanyi.
14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away: and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
Omwoyo n’ansitula n’antwala, ne ŋŋendera mu buyinike ne mu busungu, ng’omukono gwa Mukama ogw’amaanyi guli ku nze.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt; and I sat there astonied among them seven days.
Ne ntuuka mu kifo ekimu awaali abawaŋŋanguse e Terabibu ku mugga Kebali, ne ntuula mu bo okumala ennaku musanvu, nga nsamaaliridde.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku omusanvu ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira:
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
“Omwana w’omuntu, nkufudde omukuumi w’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, era buli lw’onoowuliranga ekigambo kye nnaayogeranga, balabulenga.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood wilt I require at thine hand.
Bwe ŋŋamba atali mutuukirivu nti, ‘Mazima tolirema kufa,’ n’otamulabula newaakubadde okwogera naye ng’omulabula alekeyo engeri ze ezitali za butuukirivu asobole okuwonya obulamu bwe, omuntu oyo atali mutuukirivu alifa olw’obutali butuukirivu bwe, naye omusaayi gwe ndiguvunaana ggwe.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Naye bw’olirabula omuntu atali mutuukirivu, n’atalekaayo obutali butuukirivu, newaakubadde engeri ze embi, alifa olw’ekibi kye, naye obulamu bwo bulilokolebwa.
20 Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
“Ate era bw’alireka ebikolwa bye eby’obutuukirivu n’akola ebibi, ne nteeka enkonge mu maaso ge, alifa. Olw’okubanga tewamulabula, alifa olw’ekibi kye. Ebikolwa eby’obutuukirivu bye yakola tebirijjukirwa, era ndikuvunaana olw’omusaayi gwe.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.
Kyokka bw’olabulanga omutuukirivu obutayonoona, n’atayonoona, ddala ddala aliba mulamu kubanga yawulira okulabula kwo, era naawe oliba weerokodde.”
22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
Omukono gwa Mukama gw’andiko eyo, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Golokoka olage ku ttale, era eyo gye nnaayogerera naawe.”
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar: and I fell on my face.
Ne nsituka ne ndaga ku ttale. Ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyaliwo, nga kifaanana ekitiibwa kye nalaba ku Mugga Kebali; ne neeyala wansi.
24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
Awo Omwoyo n’anzikako, n’annyimusa okuva we nnali, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Genda weggalire mu nnyumba yo.
25 But thou, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
Ggwe omwana w’omuntu balikusiba emiguwa, n’olemwa okugenda okulaba abantu bo.
26 and I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
Ndiziba akamwa ko, n’osirikira ddala, n’olema okubanenya, newaakubadde nga nnyumba njeemu.
27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
Kyokka bwe ndyogera gy’oli, ndizibula akamwa ko era olibagamba nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna.’ Aliwuliriza kale aliwuliriza, n’oyo aligaana okuwuliriza naye muleke agaane okuwuliriza; nnyumba njeemu.”
