Ezekiel 11
1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of Yahweh’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Awo Omwoyo n’ansitula n’antwala ku luggi olw’ebuvanjuba olw’ennyumba ya Mukama. Ku mulyango awo waaliwo abasajja amakumi abiri mu bataano wakati mu bo nga mwe muli Yaazaniya mutabani wa Azuli ne Peratiya mutabani wa Benaya, abakulembeze b’abantu.
2 He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, bano be basajja abeekobaana okukola ebitali bya butuukirivu era abawabya ekibuga kino.
3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
Boogera nti, ‘Ekiseera tekituuse tuzimbe amayumba? Ekibuga kino ye ntamu, ffe nnyama.’
4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
Kyonoova obawa obunnabbi; era yogera ggwe omwana w’omuntu.”
5 Yahweh’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘Yahweh says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
Awo Omwoyo wa Mukama n’anzikako, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Bwe mutyo bwe mwogera, ggwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, naye mmanyi ebirowoozo byammwe.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
Musse abantu bangi mu kibuga kino, ne mujjuza enguudo zaakyo abafu.
7 “‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
“Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Emirambo gye musuddemu ye nnyama, n’ekibuga kino ye ntamu, naye ndikibagobamu.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord Yahweh.
Mutya ekitala, era ekitala kye ndibaleetako, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
9 “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Ndibagoba mu kibuga, ne mbawaayo mu mukono gwa bannamawanga ne bababonereza.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
Muligwa n’ekitala, era ndibasalira omusango ku nsalo ya Isirayiri, ne mumanya nga nze Mukama.
11 This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
Ekibuga kino tekiriba ntamu yammwe, era nammwe temuliba nnyama yaakyo. Ndibasalira omusango ku nsalo ya Isirayiri.
12 You will know that I am Yahweh, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
Mulitegeera nga nze Mukama, kubanga temugoberedde biragiro byange newaakubadde amateeka gange, naye mukoze ng’amawanga amalala agabeetoolodde bwe gakola.”
13 When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
Awo bwe nnali nkyayogera ebyobunnabbi, Peratiya mutabani wa Benaya n’afa. Ne ngwa bugazi wansi ne nkaaba n’eddoboozi ddene, nga njogera nti, “Ayi Mukama Katonda, olimalirawo ddala ekitundu kya Isirayiri ekyasigalawo?”
14 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
15 “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from Yahweh. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
“Omwana w’omuntu, baganda bo, baganda bo ab’enda yo n’ennyumba yonna eya Isirayiri, beebo abantu ab’omu Yerusaalemi be baayogerako nti, ‘Bali wala ne Mukama, era ensi eno yatuweebwa okuba omugabo gwaffe.’”
16 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
“Kyonoova oyogera nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Newaakubadde nga nabasindika mu mawanga ne mbasaasaanya mu nsi nnyingi, naye mbalabiriridde mu nsi gye baagenda.’
17 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”
Era kyonoova oyogera nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: ndibakuŋŋaanya okuva mu mawanga ne mbaggya mu nsi gye mwasaasaanyizibwa, ne mbaddiza ensi ya Isirayiri.’
18 “‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
“Bwe balikomawo, baliggyamu ebitali bya butuukirivu byonna n’eby’emizizo ebirimu byonna.
19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
Ndibawa omutima gumu ne mbateekamu omwoyo omuggya; ndibaggyamu omutima ogw’ejjinja, ne mbawa omutima ogw’ennyama.
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Oluvannyuma baligoberera ebiragiro byange, ne bagenderera okukuuma amateeka gange, era baliba bantu bange, nange ndiba Katonda waabwe.
21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”
Naye abo abanaagoberera ebitali bya butuukirivu n’eby’emizizo, ndibaleetako ebyo bye baakola ku mitwe gyabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Awo bakerubi, ne zinnamuziga nga ziri ku mabbali gaabwe ne bayimusa ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ng’ekitiibwa kya Katonda wa Isirayiri kibali waggulu.
23 Yahweh’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kiva wakati mu kibuga ne kiyimirira waggulu w’olusozi oluli ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba w’ekibuga.
24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Omwoyo n’ansitula mu kwolesebwa okw’Omwoyo wa Katonda n’antwala mu Bukaludaaya eri abaawaŋŋangusibwa.
25 Then I spoke to the captives all the things that Yahweh had shown me.
Awo okwolesebwa kwe nafuna ne nkuvaako, ne ntegeeza abaawaŋŋangusibwa byonna Mukama bye yali andaze.
