Ezekiel 23
1 Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
“Omwana w’omuntu waaliwo abakazi babiri, nnyabwe omu,
3 They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
abeewaayo mu Misiri, ne bakola obwamalaaya okuviira ddala mu buto bwabwe, era eyo gye baakwatirakwatira ku mabeere ne batandika n’okumanya abasajja.
4 Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
Erinnya ly’omukulu nga ye Okola, ne muto we nga ye Okoliba. Baali bange, era banzalira abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala. Okola ye yali ayitibwa Samaliya, Okoliba nga ye Yerusaalemi.
5 “Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
“Okola n’akola obwamalaaya ng’akyali wange, n’akabawala ku baganzi be Abasuuli,
6 who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
abaserikale abaayambalanga kaniki, n’abaamasaza, n’abaduumizi b’eggye, bonna nga basajja balabika bulungi era nga beebagala embalaasi.
7 She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
Yeewaayo okubeera malaaya eri abakulembeze ab’e Bwasuli, ne yeeyonoonyesa ne bakatonda abalala bonna aba buli muntu gwe yakabawalanga naye.
8 She hasn’t left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her.
Teyalekayo bwamalaaya bwe yatandikira mu Misiri.
9 “Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted.
“Kyenava muwaayo eri baganzi be Abasuuli, be yakabawalanga nabo.
10 These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
Baamwambula, ne batwala batabani be ne bawala be, ye ne bamutta n’ekitala. Yafuuka ekivume mu bakazi ne bamuwa n’ekibonerezo.
11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution of her sister.
“Newaakubadde nga muganda we Okoliba, yabiraba ebyo, yeeyongera mu bukaba bwe ne mu bwamalaaya bwe n’okusinga muganda we.
12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
Yakabawala n’Abasuuli, n’abaamasaza n’abaduumizi b’eggye n’abaserikale abaali bambadde obulungi engoye ennungi n’abeebagalanga embalaasi n’abaalabikanga obulungi abeegombebwanga.
13 I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way.
Ne ndaba nga naye yeeyonoonye, era bombi nga bakutte ekkubo lye limu.
14 “She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red,
“Naye wakati mu ebyo byonna, ne yeeyongeranga mu bwamalaaya bwe; n’alaba ebifaananyi eby’abasajja ebyasiigibwa ku bisenge, n’ebifaananyi eby’Abakaludaaya ebyatonebwa mu langi emyufu,
15 dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
nga beesibye enkoba mu biwato, nga beesibye n’ebiremba ku mitwe, bonna nga bafaanana ng’abakungu ba Babulooni abavuga amagaali ab’omu nsi ey’Abakaludaaya.
16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
Awo olwatuuka, n’abeegomba, n’abatumira ababaka mu Bukaludaaya.
17 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
Era Abababulooni ne bajja gy’ali, ne beebaka naye, era mu kwegomba kwe ne bamwonoona. Bwe baamusobyako n’abaviira, nga yeetamiddwa.
18 So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like my soul was alienated from her sister.
Bwe yagenda mu maaso n’obwamalaaya bwe mu lwatu, n’ayolesa obwereere bwe, ne mmuviira nga nennyamidde, nga bwe nnava ku muganda we.
19 Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
Newaakubadde nga namukola ebyo byonna, yeeyongeranga bweyongezi mu maaso, nga bwe yejjukanya ennaku ez’omu buvubuka bwe, bwe yakola obwamalaaya mu Misiri,
20 She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
gye yakabawalira ku baganzi be, abaalina entula ez’ekisajja nga zifaanana ez’endogoyi, n’amaanyi agabavaamu ng’ag’embalaasi.
21 Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.
Bw’otyo n’oyaayaanira okwegomba okw’omu buvubuka bwo, bwe wali mu Misiri ne bakukwatirira mu ngeri ey’obukaba, ne bakwatirira n’amabeere go amato.
22 “Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
“Kale ggwe Okoliba, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndikuma mu baganzi bo omuliro, ne bakulumba ku njuyi zonna:
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
Abababulooni, n’Abakaludaaya bonna, n’abasajja ab’e Pekodi ne Sara ne Kowa, n’Abaasuli bonna wamu nabo, n’abavubuka abalabika obulungi, n’abaamasaza n’abaduumizi b’eggye bonna, n’abakungu abavuga amagaali n’abaserikale ab’oku ntikko bonna, nga beebagadde embalaasi bonna.
24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their judgments.
Balikulumba nga balina amagaali, n’ebiwalulibwa n’ekibiina eky’abantu; balyesega ne beetereeza mu bifo byabwe ne bakulumba enjuuyi zonna nga bakutte engabo ennene n’entono nga bambadde n’enkuufiira ez’ebyuma. Ndikuwaayo mu mukono gwabwe ne bakusalira omusango, era balikubonereza ng’amateeka gaabwe bwe gali.
25 I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.
Ndikuyiwako ekiruyi kyange, nabo ne bakubonereza mu busungu. Balibasalako ennyindo zammwe n’amatu gammwe, n’abalisigalawo balifa n’ekitala. Balitwala batabani bammwe ne bawala bammwe, n’abaliba basigaddewo, balyokebwa omuliro.
26 They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
Balibambulamu engoye zammwe, ne batwala n’eby’omu bulago.
27 Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.’
Era ndikomya obukaba n’obwamalaaya bwe waleeta okuva mu Misiri, so tolibuyaayaanira nate newaakubadde okujjukira Misiri.
28 “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nnaatera okukuwaayo eri abo abakukyawa n’eri abo be weetamwa.
29 They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
Balikukwata n’obukyayi obuyitiridde, ne batwala ebintu byonna bye wakolerera, ne bakuleka bwereere nga tolina kantu, n’ensonyi z’obwamalaaya zirabibwe buli muntu. Obukaba bwo n’obugwagwa bwo
30 These things will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
bwe bukuleetedde ebyo, kubanga weegomba amawanga ne weeyonoona ne bakatonda baabwe.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.’
Kubanga wagoberera ekkubo lya muganda wo, kyendiva nkuwa ekikompe kye mu mukono gwo.
32 “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains much.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Olinywa ekikompe kya muganda wo, ekikompe ekigazi era ekinene; kirikuleetera okusekererwa n’okuduulirwa kubanga kirimu ebintu bingi.
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
Olijjuzibwa okutamiira n’ennaku, ekikompe eky’obuyinike era eky’okunakuwala, ekyo kye kikompe kya muganda wo Samaliya.
34 You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord Yahweh.
Olikinywa n’okikaliza; olikyasaayasa, ne weeyuzaayuza amabeere. Nze Mukama Katonda, nkyogedde.
35 “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
“Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Kubanga mwanneerabira ne munkuba amabega, kyemuliva mubonaabona olw’okwegomba kwammwe.”
36 Yahweh said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu olisalira Okola ne Okoliba omusango? Kale nno baŋŋange olw’ebikolwa byabwe eby’ekivve,
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
kubanga bakoze eby’obwenzi, n’engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi. Benze ne bakatonda baabwe, ne basaddaaka n’abaana baabwe ng’emmere y’abakatonda baabwe, abaana be banzalira.
38 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
Ne kino bakinkoze. Mu kiseera kyekimu boonoonye ekifo kyange ekitukuvu, era boonoonye ne Ssabbiiti zange.
39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle of my house.
Ku lunaku kwe baassaddaakira abaana baabwe eri bakatonda baabwe, baayingira mu watukuvu ne bayonoonawo. Ebyo bye baakola mu nnyumba yange.
40 “Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself with ornaments,
“Baatuma ababaka okuleeta abasajja okuva ewala ennyo, era bwe baatuuka, ne munaaba ku lwabwe ne mweyonja mu maaso, ne mwambala n’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi.
41 and sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.
Watuula ku kitanda ekinene eky’ekitiibwa, n’oyalirira n’emmeeza mu maaso go ng’etegekeddwako obubaane bwange n’amafuta gange.
42 “The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
“Oluyoogaano olw’ekibinja ky’abantu abatalina nnyo kye bakola ne Abaseba ne lumwetooloola; Abaseba ne baleetebwa okuva mu ddungu wamu n’abasajja abaalyanga mu kasasiro, ne bambaza ebintu eby’ebikomo ku mikono gy’omukazi ne muganda we, ne babatikkira n’engule ennungi ku mitwe gyabwe.
43 Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’
Awo ne njogera ku oyo eyali akaddiye olw’obwenzi nti, ‘Bamukozeseze ddala nga malaaya kubanga ekyo kyali.’
44 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
Ne beebaka naye. Ng’abasajja bwe beebaka ne malaaya, bwe batyo beebaka n’abakazi abo abagwenyufu, Okola ne Okoliba.
45 Righteous men will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
Naye abatuukirivu balisalira omusango abakazi abenzi era abassi kubanga benzi era n’engalo zaabwe zijjudde omusaayi.
46 “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Mukuŋŋaanye ekibiina ekinene mubaleeteko entiisa era mubanyage.
47 The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
Ekibiina ekyo kiribakuba amayinja ne babatemaatema n’ebitala; balitta batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe ne bookya n’ennyumba zaabwe.’
48 “‘Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you.
“Bwe ntyo bwe ndikomya obukaba mu nsi, abakazi bonna bakitwale ng’ekyokulabula, baleme okukola ebyo bye mwakola.
49 They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.’”
Mulisasulibwa olw’obukaba bwammwe, era mulibonerezebwa olw’ebibi byammwe eby’okusinza bakatonda abalala, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.”
