< Ezekiel 26 >
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Awo olwatuuka mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu ku lunaku olw’olubereberye mu mwezi, ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 Son of man, Because Tyre hath said concerning Jerusalem. Aha! She is broken that was the doors of the peoples. She is turned unto me, — I shall be filled, She is laid waste,
“Omwana w’omuntu, kubanga Ttuulo yakuba mu ngalo n’ayogera ku Yerusaalemi nti, ‘Otyo! Omulyango ogw’amawanga gumenyeddwa, era n’enzigi zinzigguliddwa kaakano nga bw’afuuse amatongo, ndigaggawala,’
3 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against thee O Tyre, — So then I will bring up against thee many nations, As the sea bringeth up its rolling waves;
Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Nkuvunaana ggwe Ttuulo, ndiyimusa amawanga mangi gakulumbe, ng’ennyanja bw’esitula amayengo gaayo.
4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre. And break down her towers, And I will scrape clean her dust from off her, —And make of her the glaring face of a cliff:
Balimenya bbugwe wa Ttuulo, ne basuula n’emirongooti gye, era ndiggyawo ebifunfugu bye byonna ne mmufuula olwazi olwereere.
5 A place for the spreading of nets, shall she become, in the midst of the sea, For, I, have spoken Declareth My Lord. Yahweh, -And she shall become a prey to the nations.
Wakati mu nnyanja alibeera ekifo eky’okwanjulurizangamu obutimba obw’ebyennyanja, kubanga nze njogedde bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Alifuuka omunyago ogw’amawanga,
6 And her daughters that are in the field: with the sword shall be slain: So shall they know that I am Yahweh.
era ebifo bye eby’oku lukalu kw’abeera birimalibwawo ekitala. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.
7 For thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! bringing against Tyre. Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon out of the North. a king of kings, —with horses and with chariots and with horsemen, and a gathered host, and much people.
“Era Mukama Katonda agamba nti, ‘Ndiweereza Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni kabaka wa bakabaka, eri Ttuulo okuva mu bukiikakkono, ng’alina embalaasi n’amagaali, n’abeebagala embalaasi n’eggye eddene.
8 Thy daughters in the field—with the sword, shall he slay, - And shall set against thee a siege-wall And cast up against thee an earthwork, And set up against thee a large shield;
Alitta n’ekitala abatuuze bo ababeera ku lukalu, era alizimba ebigo okukwolekera, n’ateekawo n’ebitindiro okutuuka ku bbugwe wo n’akwolekeza n’engabo.
9 And the stroke of his attacking-engine, will he direct against thy walls, — And thy towers, will he break down with his axes.
Alitunuza ebintu bye ebitomera eri bbugwe wo, n’amenyaamenya emirongooti gyo n’ebyokulwanyisa bye.
10 By reason of the multitude of his horses, their dust shall cover thee, — At the noise of horseman and wheel and chariot, shall thy walls tremble, when he entereth into thy gates Just as they do who enter a city broken open.
Embalaasi ze ziriba nnyingi nnyo, n’enfuufu yaazo erikubikka era ne bbugwe wo alinyeenyezebwa olw’amaloboozi g’embalaasi ennwanyi, n’olw’ebiwalulibwa n’amagaali bw’aliyingira mu wankaaki wo, ng’abasajja bwe bayingira mu kibuga, nga bbugwe waakyo abotoddwamu ekituli.
11 With the hoofs of his horses, shall he tread down all thy streets, — Thy people-with the sword, shall he slay, And thy pillars of strength to the earth, shall go down.
Embalaasi ze ziririnyirira enguudo zo; n’abantu bo alibatta n’ekitala era n’empagi zo ez’amaanyi zirisuulibwa ku ttaka.
12 And they shall spoil thy wealth And make a prey of thy merchandise, And break down thy walls And thy pleasant houses, shall they lay in ruins; And thy stones and thy timber and thy dust—in the midst of the waters, shall they lay.
Balinyaga obugagga bwo ne babba n’ebyamaguzi byo; balimenya bbugwe wo ne basaanyaawo n’ennyumba zo ennungi, n’amayinja go n’embaawo zo era n’ebifunfugu birisuulibwa wakati mu nnyanja.
13 And I will cause to cease the hum of thy songs; And the sound of thy lyres, shall not be heard any more.
Ndikomya okuyimba kwo, era n’amaloboozi ag’ennanga zo tegaliwulirwa nate.
14 And I will make of thee the glaring face of a cliff. A place for the spreading of nets, shalt thou become, Thou shalt not be but any more, For I. Yahweh have spoken it, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Ndikufuula olwazi olwereere, era olibeera ekifo eky’okwanjulurizangamu obutimba obw’ebyennyanja. Tolizimbibwa nate, kubanga nze Mukama njogedde, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’
15 Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, to Tyre: Shall it not be that. At the sound of thy fall. With the groan of thy pierced one. With the slaughter made in thy midst, The Coastlands shall tremble?
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri Ttuulo nti, Ebifo ebiri ku lubalama lw’ennyanja tebirikankana olw’okubwatuka olw’okugwa kwo, abaliba balumizibbwa bwe balisinda, n’abalala ne battibwa wakati mu ggwe?
16 Then shall come down from off their thrones all the princes of the sea, And shall lay aside their robes. And their embroidered garments, shall strip off, — With tremblings, shall they clothe them. selves Upon the ground, shall they sit, And shall tremble every moment and be astonished over thee.
Olwo abalangira bonna ab’oku lukalu lw’ennyanja baliva ku ntebe zaabwe ez’obwakabaka ne bambulamu ebyambalo byabwe ne baggyako n’engoye zaabwe ez’emiddalizo. Mu kutya okungi, balituula wansi ku ttaka, nga bakankana buli kaseera nga basamaaliridde.
17 Then shall they take up over thee a dirge, And say to thee, - How hast thou perished, And ceased from the seas, - The city renowned which was strong in the sea She and they who dwelt in her, Who imparted their terror To all who dwelt in her.
Balikukungubagira ne bakugamba nti, “‘Ng’ozikiriziddwa, ggwe ekibuga ekyatutumuka, ekyabeerangamu abantu abalunnyanja. Wali wa maanyi ku nnyanja, ggwe n’abantu bo, watiisatiisanga bonna abaabeeranga ku lubalama lw’ennyanja.
18 Now, shall tremble the Coastlands, In the day of thy fall, - And shall shudder the isles that are in the sea. At thine exit!
Kaakano olubalama lw’ennyanja lukankana ku lunaku olw’okugwa kwo, era n’ebizinga ebiri mu nnyanja bitidde olw’okugwa kwo.’
19 For thus saith My Lord Yahweh, When I make thee a desolate city, Like cities which cannot be dwelt in, - When I bring up over thee the roaring deep, And the mighty waters cover thee,
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Bwe ndikufuula ekibuga ekirimu ebifulukwa, ng’ebibuga ebitakyabaamu bantu era bwe ndikuyimusizaako obuziba bw’ennyanja, n’amazzi gaayo ne gakubikka,
20 Then will I bring thee down with them that go down into the pit. Unto the people of age-past times And cause thee to dwell in the earth below Among the desolations from age-past times With them that go down into the pit That thou mayest not be dwelt in, Nor yet present thyself in the land of the living.
kale ndikussa wansi ng’abo abagenda mu bunnya eri abaafa edda. Olibeera wansi mu ttaka, mu bifo ebyazika edda ennyo, n’abo abaserengeta mu bunnya, so tojja kudda wadde okufuna ekifo mu nsi ya balamu.
21 A terror, will I make thee And thou shalt not be: Though thou be sought for, Thou shalt not be found any more To times age-abiding, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
Ndikutuusa ku nkomerero embi, so toliwulirwa nate. Balikunoonya, naye toliddayo kulabika,’ bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
