< Ezekiel 3 >

1 And he said to me O son of humankind [that] which you find eat eat the scroll this and go speak to [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 And I opened mouth my and he caused to eat me the scroll this.
Ne njasama, n’ampa omuzingo gw’empapula ne ngulya.
3 And he said to me O son of humankind belly your may you cause to eat and inward parts your may you fill the scroll this which I [am] giving to you and I ate [it]! and it was in mouth my like honey to sweet.
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 to me O son of humankind go go to [the] house of Israel and you will speak with words my to them.
Oluvannyuma n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, kaakano laga eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri oyogere ebigambo byange gye bali.
5 For not to a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue you [are] being sent 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 peoples many deep of lip and heavy of tongue whom not you will understand words their if not to them I had sent you they they will listen to you.
so si eri abantu abangi abalina enjogera etategeerekeka era abalina olulimi oluzibu, b’otayinza kutegeera bye bagamba. Mazima singa nakutuma gye bali, bandikuwulirizza.
7 And [the] house of Israel not they will be willing to listen to you for not they [are] willing to listen to me for all [the] house of Israel [are] hard of forehead and stern of heart they.
Naye ennyumba ya Isirayiri si beetegefu kukuwuliriza kubanga si beetegefu kumpuliriza; era ennyumba ya Isirayiri yonna balina ekyenyi kikalubo n’emitima mikakanyavu.
8 Here! I make face your hard corresponding to faces their and forehead your hard corresponding to forehead their.
Naye naawe ndikufuula omukalubo era omukakanyavu mu mutima nga bo.
9 Like diamond hard more than flint I make forehead your not you must fear them and not you must be dismayed from faces their for [are] a house of rebellion they.
Ndifuula ekyenyi kyo okuba ng’ejjinja erikaluba ennyo, erikaluba ng’ejjinja ery’embaalebaale. Tobatya so totiisibwatiisibwa, newaakubadde nga nnyumba njeemu.”
10 And he said to me O son of humankind all words my which I will speak to you take in heart your and with ears your hear.
N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, wuliriza bulungi era okwate ebigambo byonna bye njogera naawe.
11 And go go to the exile[s] to [the] children of people your and you will speak to them and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh whether they will listen and or they will refrain.
Genda kaakano eri abantu bo, mu buwaŋŋanguse, oyogere nabo. Bagambe nti, Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, obanga banaawulira, obanga tebaawulire.”
12 And it lifted up me a spirit and I heard behind me a sound of rumbling great [be] blessed [the] glory of Yahweh from place its.
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 [the] sound of - [the] wings of the living creatures touching closely each sister its and [the] sound of the wheels close by them and a sound of rumbling great.
Okuwuuma okw’ebiwaawaatiro by’ebiramu nga bikuubagana, n’okuwuuma kwa zinnamuziga ku mabbali gaabyo kwali ng’okuwuluguma okw’amaanyi.
14 And a spirit it lifted up me and it took me and I went bitter in [the] rage of spirit my and [the] hand of Yahweh on me it was strong.
Omwoyo n’ansitula n’antwala, ne ŋŋendera mu buyinike ne mu busungu, ng’omukono gwa Mukama ogw’amaanyi guli ku nze.
15 And I came to the exile[s] Tel Abib who were dwelling to [the] river of Kebar (and I sat *Q(K)*) they [were] dwelling there and I sat there seven days appalled in midst of them.
Ne ntuuka mu kifo ekimu awaali abawaŋŋanguse e Terabibu ku mugga Kebali, ne ntuula mu bo okumala ennaku musanvu, nga nsamaaliridde.
16 And it was from [the] end of seven days. And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku omusanvu ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira:
17 O son of humankind a watchman I appoint you for [the] house of Israel and you will hear from mouth my a word and you will warn them from me.
“Omwana w’omuntu, nkufudde omukuumi w’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, era buli lw’onoowuliranga ekigambo kye nnaayogeranga, balabulenga.
18 When say I to wicked [person] surely you will die and not you have warned him and not you have spoken to warn a wicked [person] from way his wicked to preserve alive him that wicked [person] for iniquity his he will die and blood his from hand your I will require.
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 And you if you have warned a wicked [person] and not he has turned away from wickedness his and from way his wicked he for iniquity his he will die and you life your you have delivered.
Naye bw’olirabula omuntu atali mutuukirivu, n’atalekaayo obutali butuukirivu, newaakubadde engeri ze embi, alifa olw’ekibi kye, naye obulamu bwo bulilokolebwa.
20 And when turns away a righteous [person] from righteousness his and he will do injustice and I will put an obstacle before him he he will die if not you warned him for sin his he will die and not they will be remembered (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which he did and blood his from hand your I will require.
“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 And you if you have warned him a righteous [person] to not to sin a righteous [person] and he not he has sinned certainly he will live for he has been warned and you life your you have delivered.
Kyokka bw’olabulanga omutuukirivu obutayonoona, n’atayonoona, ddala ddala aliba mulamu kubanga yawulira okulabula kwo, era naawe oliba weerokodde.”
22 And it was on me there [the] hand of Yahweh and he said to me arise go out to the plain and there I will speak with you.
Omukono gwa Mukama gw’andiko eyo, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Golokoka olage ku ttale, era eyo gye nnaayogerera naawe.”
23 And I arose and I went out to the plain and there! there [the] glory of Yahweh [was] standing like the glory which I had seen at [the] river of Kebar and I fell on face my.
Ne nsituka ne ndaga ku ttale. Ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyaliwo, nga kifaanana ekitiibwa kye nalaba ku Mugga Kebali; ne neeyala wansi.
24 And it came in me a spirit and it made stand up me on feet my and he spoke with me and he said to me go shut yourself up in [the] midst of house your.
Awo Omwoyo n’anzikako, n’annyimusa okuva we nnali, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Genda weggalire mu nnyumba yo.
25 And you O son of humankind there! people will put on you ropes and they will bind you with them and not you will go out in midst of them.
Ggwe omwana w’omuntu balikusiba emiguwa, n’olemwa okugenda okulaba abantu bo.
26 And tongue your I will make stick to palate your and you will be dumb and not you will become to them a person [who] reproves for [are] a house of rebellion they.
Ndiziba akamwa ko, n’osirikira ddala, n’olema okubanenya, newaakubadde nga nnyumba njeemu.
27 And when speak I with you I will open mouth your and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh the [one who] hears - let him hear and the [person] who refrains - let him refrain for [are] a house of rebellion they.
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.”
