Ezekiel 13
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
2 Son of man. prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, —and say unto them who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Yahweh,
“Omwana w’omuntu, yogera ebyobunnabbi eri bannabbi ba Isirayiri aboogera obunnabbi kaakano. Tegeeza abo aboogera obunnabbi bwe bayiiyizza nti, ‘Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama.
3 Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Alas for the base prophets, —who follow their own spirit and have seen, nothing.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, zibasanze bannabbi abasirusiru abagoberera omwoyo gwabwe ate nga tebalina kye balabye.
4 As jackals, among ruins, thy prophets O Israel have been.
Isirayiri, bannabbi bo bali ng’ebibe ebitambulatambula mu bifulukwa.
5 Ye have not gone up into the breaches, Nor built a wall about the house of Israel, - to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.
Temwambuse kuddaabiriza bbugwe n’okuziba ebituli ebirimu ku lw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, esobole okuyimirira nga ngumu mu lutalo ku lunaku lwa Mukama Katonda.
6 They have had Visions of falsehood, and Divinations of lies, Who say. Declareth Yahweh, when, Yahweh, hath not sent them, — Yet have they waited for a fulfilling of the word.
Okwolesebwa kwabwe kukyamu, n’okubikkulirwa kwabwe kwa bulimba. Mukama ne bw’aba tabatumye boogera nti, “bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda,” ne bamusuubira okutuukiriza ebyo bye boogedde.
7 Is it not a Vision of falsehood, ye have seen, and a Divination of lies, ye have spoken, Since ye are saying. Declareth Yahweh! when I have not spoken?
Temulabye kwolesebwa kukyamu ne mwogera n’okubikkulirwa okw’obulimba, bwe mwogedde nti, “Mukama bw’ati bw’ayogera,” newaakubadde nga mba soogedde?
8 Therefore Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Because ye have spoken falsehood, And have had visions of lies, Therefore behold me! against you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
“‘Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, olw’ebigambo byo ebikyamu n’olw’okwolesebwa kwo okw’obulimba, ndi mulabe wo.
9 So then my hand shall be against the prophets who have Visions of falsehood and who divine Divinations of lies— In the council of my people, shall they not be found. And in the register of the house of Israel, shall they not be written, And Upon the so of Israel, shall they not enter, — So shall ye know that, I, am The Lord Yahweh,
Omukono gwange gulibeera ku bannabbi abalaba okwolesebwa okukyamu era aboogera okubikkulirwa okw’obulimba. Tebalituula mu kibiina eky’abantu bange newaakubadde okuwandiikibwa ku nkalala z’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, wadde okuyingira mu nsi ya Isirayiri. Olwo olimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda.
10 Because, yea, even because, they have led astray my people saying. Prosperity! when there was no prosperity, —and one man, was building a partition wall, when there they were! eating it with whitewash
“‘Olw’okuba nga babuzaabuza abantu bange nga boogera nti, “Mirembe,” ate nga tewali mirembe, ate bwe bazimba bbugwe omunafu, ne basiigako langi okubikka bye batazimbye bulungi,
11 Say thou unto them who are coating with whitewash It shall fall, - There hath come an overflowing rain And I will make hail-stones fall, And a tempestuous wind shall break it down.
kyonoova ogamba abo ababikkirira ne langi nti bbugwe aligwa. Enkuba eritonnya nnyo, era ndisindika omuzira, n’embuyaga ez’amaanyi zirikunta.
12 Lo! when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the coating, wherewith ye coated it?
Bbugwe bw’aligwa, abantu tebalikubuuza nti, “Langi gye wasiigako eruwa?”
13 Therefore Thus saith my Lord, Yahweh, So will I break down with a tempestuous wind. in mine indignation, — And an overflowing rain in mine anger, shall there be, With hailstones in wrath to make an end;
“‘Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Mu kiruyi kyange ndisindika kibuyaga ow’amaanyi, ne mu busungu bwange ndisindika omuzira, ne mu bukambwe obungi enkuba ennyingi ennyo eritonnya okukizikiriza.
14 And I will pull down the wall which ye have coated with whitewash And will bring it unto the ground So shall be discovered its foundation, Yea it shall fall And ye shall come to an end in the midst thereof, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Ndimenya bbugwe gwe mwasiiga langi musaasaanye ku ttaka, n’omusingi gwe gusigale nga gwasaamiridde. Bw’aligwa, alikugwiira n’ozikirizibwa, olyoke omanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.
15 Thus will I bring to an end mine indignation against the wall, and against them who were coating it with whitewash, And will say to you No more is the wall, And no more are they who were coating it:
Ndimalira ekiruyi kyange ku bbugwe ne ku abo abaakisiiga langi, nga ŋŋamba nti, “Bbugwe agenze, era abaamusiiga langi nabo balugenze,
16 to wit the prophets of Israel who are prophesying unto Jerusalem, and are seeing, on her behalf, visions of prosperity, — when there is no prosperity, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
abo bannabbi ba Isirayiri abaayogera eby’obunnabbi eri Yerusaalemi ne balabikirwa okwolesebwa ow’emirembe gye bali, ate nga tewaaliwo mirembe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”’
17 And thou, Son of man Set thy face against the daughters of thy people, Those who are prophesying out of their own heart, — And prophesy thou against them;
“Kaakano omwana w’omuntu, amaaso go gateeke ku bawala b’abantu bo aboogera eby’obunnabbi bye bayiiyizza. Bawe obunnabbi, oyogere nti,
18 and say, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Alas! for the women Who sew oracle, cases on all elbows And prepare wraps upon the head of every stature to hunt souls, — the souls ye hunt, are those of my people, Whereas your own souls: , ye keep alive.
‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Zibasanze abakazi abatunga ebikomo eby’obulogo ku mikono gyabwe ne batunga ebyokwebikkirira ku mutwe ebiwanvu mu ngeri ez’enjawulo basobole okutega abantu. Olitega obulamu bw’abantu bange, naye ne weesigaliza obubwo?
19 Thus have ye profaned me unto my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, Putting to death the souls that should not die, and Keeping alive the souls that should not live, — By your lying to my people, who hearken to lies
Onswazizza mu bantu bange olw’embatu entono eza sayiri n’olw’obukunkumuka bw’emigaati, bw’osse abantu abatateekwa kuttibwa, ate n’oleka abatateekwa kuba balamu, ng’obalimba nabo ne bawuliriza eby’obulimba.
20 Therefore, Thus saith my Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against your oracle-cases wherewith ye are hunting the souls to make them fly, And I will tear them off your arms, And let go the souls of them whose souls ye are hunting as birds;
“‘Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndi mulabe w’obulogo bwo, bw’okozesa okuteega abantu ng’ateega ebinyonyi, era ndibaggya mu mikono gyo. Ndinunula abantu be wateega ng’ebinyonyi n’obasiba.
21 And will tear off your wraps, And deliver my people out of your hand, And they shall be no longer in your hand to be hunted; - So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Ndiyuza ebyambalo byo ebyokwebikkirira, ne mponya abantu bange mu mikono gyo, ne bataddayo kugwa mu mutego gwa buyinza bwo, olyoke omanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.
22 Because of the paining of the heart of the righteous man with falsehood, whom, I, have not pained, — And strengthening the hands of the lawless man, that he should not turn from his wicked way. by letting him live
Kubanga wanakuwaza abatuukirivu n’obulimba bwo, ate nga nnali sibanakuwazza. Olw’okuleetera abakozi b’ebibi okweyongera mu ngeri zaabwe ezitali za butuukirivu, n’owonya obulamu bwabwe,
23 Therefore—of falsehood: , shall ye have no vision, And a divination: , shall ye not divine any more, — So will I deliver my people out of your hand, And ye shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
ky’oliva olemwa okulaba okwolesebwa okukyamu wadde okufuna okubikkulirwa. Ndiwonya abantu bange okuva mu mikono gyo, olyokye omanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.’”
