1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 What? [is] to you you [are] speaking a proverb the proverb this on [the] land of Israel saying parents they eat sour grape[s] and [the] teeth of the children (they are blunt. *LA(bh)*)
“Mutegeeza ki bwe mugerera olugero luno ensi ya Isirayiri nti, “‘Bakitaabwe balidde ezabbibu ezikaawa, n’amannyo g’abaana ganyenyeera’?
3 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if it will belong to you again to speak a proverb the proverb this in Israel.
“Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, temuliddayo kugera lugero olwo mu Isirayiri.
4 Here! all lives [belong] to me they as [the] life of the parent and as [the] life of the child [belong] to me they the soul which sins it it will die.
Buli kiramu, kyange; obulamu bw’omuzadde n’obw’omwana bwonna nabwo bwange.
5 And anyone for he will be righteous and he will do justice and righteousness.
“Emmeeme eyonoona ye erifa, omuntu bw’abeera omutuukirivu n’akola ebyalagirwa era ebituufu;
6 To the mountains not he has eaten and eyes his not he has lifted up to [the] idols of [the] house of Israel and [the] wife of neighbor his not he has defiled and to a woman menstruation not he drew near.
nga talya mu masabo agali ku nsozi newaakubadde okusinza bakatonda abalala ab’ennyumba ya Isirayiri; n’atayenda ne mukazi wa muliraanwa we, newaakubadde okwebaka n’omukazi ali mu biseera bye eby’abakyala;
7 And anyone not he oppressed pledge his a debt he returned robbery not he robbed food his to [the] hungry he gave and [the] naked he covered clothing.
omuntu atalyazaamaanya muntu yenna, naye asasula ebbanja lye lyonna, atanyaga muntu yenna, naye emmere ye agigabira abayala, n’ayambaza n’abali obwereere;
8 For interest not he lent and interest not he took from injustice he turned away hand his justice of faithfulness he did between a person and a person.
atawola lwa magoba newaakubadde okutwala ensimbi ezisukkamu mu ezo ze yawola. Yeewala okukola ekibi, era asala emisango egy’ensonga.
9 In statutes my he walked and judgments my he has kept by doing faithfulness [is] righteous he certainly he will live [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Agoberera ebiragiro byange, n’akuuma amateeka gange n’obwesigwa, oyo ye muntu omutuukirivu era aliba mulamu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
10 And he will father a son violent [who] sheds blood and he will do alas! any one of these [things].
“Bw’aba n’omwana omulalu, ayiwa omusaayi, oba akola ebifaanana ng’ebyo,
11 And he all these [things] not he did for also to the mountains he has eaten and [the] wife of neighbor his he has defiled.
newaakubadde nga kitaawe ebyo tabikola: “N’alya mu masabo agali ku nsozi, n’ayenda ku mukazi wa muliraanwa we,
12 [the] poor And [the] needy he has oppressed robberies he has robbed a pledge not he returned and to the idols he has lifted up eyes his abomination he has done.
n’anyigiriza omwavu n’omunaku, n’okubba n’abba, n’atasasula kye yeeyama, n’asinza bakatonda abalala, n’akola eby’ekivve,
13 For interest he has lent and interest he has taken and will he live? not he will live all the abominations these he has done certainly he will be put to death blood his on him it will be.
n’awola ng’asuubira amagoba, oba n’okutwala ensimbi ezisukka mu ezo ze yawola; omuntu ng’oyo aliba mulamu? Taliba mulamu. Kubanga akoze ebintu ebyo byonna eby’ekivve, kyaliva attibwa, n’omusaayi gwe guliba ku mutwe gwe ye.
14 And there! he has fathered a child and he has seen all [the] sins of father his which he did and he saw and not he did like them.
“Naye bw’aba n’omuzzukulu, alaba ebibi byonna kitaawe by’akola, n’atakola bya ngeri eyo;
15 On the mountains not he has eaten and eyes his not he has lifted up to [the] idols of [the] house of Israel [the] wife of neighbor his not he has defiled.
“N’atalya mu masabo agali ku nsozi newaakubadde okusinza bakatonda abalala ab’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, n’atayenda na mukazi wa muliraanwa we,
16 And anyone not he has oppressed a pledge not he has taken as pledge and robbery not he has robbed food his to [the] hungry he has given and [the] naked he has covered clothing.
atanyigiriza muntu yenna newaakubadde okusaba amagoba ku bbanja lye yawola, atabba, naye agabira emmere abayala n’abali obwereere n’abambaza.
17 From [the] poor he has turned away hand his interest and interest not he has taken judgments my he has done in statutes my he has walked he not he will die for [the] iniquity of father his certainly he will live.
Yeekuuma obutakola kibi, n’atalya magoba ku bbanja newaakubadde okutwala ensimbi ezisukiridde, era akuuma amateeka gange n’agoberera n’ebiragiro byange. Talifa olw’ebibi bya kitaawe, naye aliba mulamu.
18 Father his for he has extorted extortion he has robbed robbery of a brother and [that] which not [was] good he has done in among people his and there! he will die for iniquity his.
Naye kitaawe alifa olw’ebibi bye ye kubanga yalyazaamanya, n’anyaga muliraanwa we, n’akola ebitaali birungi mu bantu banne.
19 And you say why? not has he borne the child in [the] iniquity of the parent and the child justice and righteousness he has done all statutes my he has kept and he has done them certainly he will live.
“Mubuuza nti, ‘Lwaki omwana tabonaabona olw’ebibi bya kitaawe?’ Omwana bw’aba akoze eby’ensonga era ebituufu, ng’agoberedde ebiragiro byange, aliba mulamu.
20 The soul which sins it it will die a child not he will bear - in [the] iniquity of the parent and a parent not he will bear in [the] iniquity of the child [the] righteousness of the righteous [person] on him it will be and [the] wickedness of (the wicked [person] *Q(K)*) on him it will be.
Emmeeme eyonoona ye erifa. Omwana talibonaabona olw’ebibi bya kitaawe, so ne kitaawe talibonaabona olw’ebibi eby’omwana we. Obutuukirivu bw’omuntu omutuukirivu bulibalirwa ye, n’obutali butuukirivu bw’oyo atali mutuukirivu bulibalirwa ye.
21 And the wicked [person] if he will turn away from all (sins his *Q(K)*) which he has done and he will keep all (statutes my *LAB(h)*) and he will do justice and righteousness certainly he will live not he will die.
“Naye omuntu atali mutuukirivu bw’alikyuka n’alekeraawo okukola ebibi byonna, n’akuuma ebiragiro byange byonna n’akola eby’ensonga era ebituufu, aliba mulamu, talifa.
22 All transgressions his which he has done not they will be remembered to him for righteousness his which he has done he will live.
Tewaliba kyonoono na kimu ku ebyo bye baakola ebirijjukirwa, naye olw’eby’obutuukirivu bye baliba bakoze, baliba balamu.
23 ¿ Really do I take pleasure in [the] death of [the] wicked [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ not when turning back he from ways his and he will live.
Mulowooza nga nsanyukira okufa kw’atali mutuukirivu? Bw’ayogera Mukama. Sisinga kusanyuka nnyo bwe ndaba ng’akyuse okuva mu ngeri ze n’aba omulamu?
24 And when turns away [the] righteous from righteousness his and he will do injustice according to all the abominations which he did the wicked [person] he will do and will he live? all (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which he did not they will be remembered for unfaithfulness his which he has acted unfaithfully and for sin his which he has sinned for them he will die.
“Naye omuntu omutuukirivu bw’alekeraawo okukola eby’obutuukirivu, n’akola eby’ekivve bye bimu n’eby’omuntu atali mutuukirivu, aliba mulamu? Tewaliba ne kimu ku ebyo eby’obutuukirivu bye yakola, ebirijjukirwa: Olw’obutaba mwesigwa aliba n’omusango, era n’olw’ebibi bye yakola, alifa.
25 And you say not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord listen please O house of Israel ¿ way my not is it correct ¿ not ways your not are they correct.
“Mugamba nti, ‘Mukama si mwenkanya.’ Kaakano muwulire mwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, enkola yange y’etali ya bwenkanya oba mmwe mutali benkanya?
26 When turns away [the] righteous from righteousness his and he will do injustice and he will die on them for injustice his which he has done he will die.
Omuntu omutuukirivu bw’aleka okukola ebikolwa bye eby’obutuukirivu n’akola ebibi, mw’alifiira, kubanga ebibi by’akoze bye birimuleetera okufa.
27 And when turns away [the] wicked from wickedness his which he has done and he did justice and righteousness he life his he will preserve alive.
Naye bw’alikyuka okuva mu butali butuukirivu bwe bw’akoze, n’akola eby’ensonga era ebituufu, alirokola obulamu bwe.
28 And he saw (and he turned away *Q(k)*) from all transgressions his which he had done certainly he will live not he will die.
Era bw’alirowooza ku bibi byonna by’akoze, n’akyuka n’alekeraawo okubikola, mazima ddala aliba mulamu, talifa.
29 And they say [the] house of Israel not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord ¿ ways my not are they correct O house of Israel ¿ not ways your not is it correct.
Naye oluvannyuma ennyumba ya Isirayiri ne mwogera nti, ‘Ekkubo lya Mukama si lya bwenkanya.’ Mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, engeri zange ze zitali za bwenkanya? Engeri zammwe si ze zitali za bwenkanya?
30 Therefore everyone according to ways his I will judge you O house of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh turn back and turn away from all transgressions your and not it will become for you a stumbling block iniquity.
“Kyendiva mbasalira omusango, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, buli muntu ng’ebikolwa byammwe bwe biri, bw’ayogera Mukama. Mwenenye, muleke ebikolwa ebitali bya butuukirivu, oba nga ssi weewaawo ebibi byammwe biribaleetera okuzikirira.
31 Throw away from with you all transgressions your which you have transgressed by them and make for yourselves a heart new and a spirit new and why? will you die O house of Israel.
Mweggyeeko ebikolwa byonna ebitali bya butuukirivu, bye mukoze, mufune omutima omuggya n’omwoyo omuggya. Kiki ekibaleetera okufa, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri?
32 For not I take pleasure in [the] death of the [one who] dies [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and turn away and live.
Sisanyukira kufa kwa muntu yenna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Mwenenye mube balamu.”
