Ezekiel 28
1 The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 “Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
“Omwana w’omuntu, gamba omufuzi w’e Ttuulo nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kubanga olina amalala mu mutima gwo kyova oyogera nti, ‘Ndi katonda, era ntuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka eya Katonda wakati mu nnyanja,’ songa oli muntu buntu, so si katonda, newaakubadde ng’olowooza nga oli mugezi nga katonda.
3 behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
Oli mugezi okusinga Danyeri? Tewali kyama kikukwekeddwa?
4 By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
Mu magezi go ne mu kutegeera kwo weefunidde eby’obugagga, n’okuŋŋaanya ezaabu n’effeeza n’obitereka mu mawanika go.
5 By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
Olw’obukujjukujju bwo mu by’obusuubuzi oyongedde okugaggawala, era n’omutima gwo gwenyumiririza mu byobugagga bwo.”
6 “‘therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, “Kubanga olowooza ng’oli mugezi, ng’oli mugezi nga katonda,
7 therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
kyendiva nkuleetera bannaggwanga ne bakulumba, ab’omu mawanga agasinga obukambwe, ne basowola ebitala byabwe eri obulungi n’amagezi go, ne boonoona okumasamasa kwo.
8 They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.
Balikusuula mu bunnya n’ofiira eyo okufa okubi wakati mu gayanja.
9 Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
Olyogera nate nti, ‘Ndi katonda,’ mu maaso gaabo abakutta? Oliba muntu buntu so si katonda mu mikono gy’abo abakutta.
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
Olifa okufa okw’abatali bakomole, mu mikono gya bannaggwanga, nze nkyogedde, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
11 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
“Omwana w’omuntu kungubagira kabaka w’e Ttuulo, omutegeeze nti, Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ggwe wali ekyokulabirako ekituukiridde ng’ojjudde amagezi era nga watuukirira mu bulungi.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.
Wali mu Adeni, ennimiro ya Katonda; buli jjinja ery’omuwendo nga likubikako, sadio, topazi, alimasi, berulo, onuku, yasipero, safiro, ejjinja erya nnawandagala. Okuteekebwateekebwa kwo n’ebikunyweza byakolebwa mu zaabu. Era ku lunaku lwe watondebwa, byategekebwa.
14 You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
Wali kerubi omukuumi eyafukibwako amafuta, nakwawula lwa nsonga eyo. Wabeeranga ku lusozi olutukuvu olwa Katonda, n’otambulira wakati mu mayinja ag’omuliro.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Tewaliiko kya kunenyezebwa kyonna okuva ku lunaku lwe watondebwa, okutuusa obutali butuukirivu bwe bwalabika mu ggwe.
16 By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
Mu bikolwa byo ebingi, wajjula empisa embi, era n’okola ebibi. Kyennava nkugoba ku lusozi lwa Katonda, mu buswavu obungi ne nkugoba ggwe kerubi eyakuumanga okuva mu mayinja ag’omuliro.
17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendour. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
Omutima gwo gwalina amalala olw’obulungi bwo, ne weelimbalimba olw’ekitiibwa kyo. Kyennava nkukanyuga ku nsi ne nkufuula eky’okusekererwa mu maaso ga bakabaka.
18 By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
Olw’ebibi byo ebingi n’olw’obukumpanya bwo oyonoonye ebifo byo ebitukuvu. Kyenava nziggya omuliro mu ggwe ne gukusaanyaawo, ne nkufuula evvu ku nsi wakati mu abo bonna abaakulabanga.
19 All those who know you amongst the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”
Amawanga gonna agaakumanya gaatya nnyo; otuuse ku nkomerero embi, so tolibeerawo nate ennaku zonna.’”
20 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
21 “Son of man, set your face towards Sidon, and prophesy against it,
“Omwana w’omuntu kyuka otunuulire Sidoni, obawe obunnabbi,
22 and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified amongst you. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have executed judgements in her, and am sanctified in her.
oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Nkulinako ensonga, ggwe Sidoni, era ndyegulumiza mu ggwe. Balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndimubonereza, ne neeraga mu ye okuba omutukuvu.
23 For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
Ndiweereza kawumpuli ku ye, era ndikulukusa omusaayi mu nguudo ze. Abafu baligwa wakati mu ye, ekitala kimulumbe enjuuyi zonna. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.
24 “‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
“‘Tewalibaawo nate eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri omweramannyo ogufumita newaakubadde eriggwa eribafumita okuva mu baliraanwa abalina ettima. Era balimanya nga nze Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
25 “‘The Lord GOD says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples amongst whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy amongst them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Bwe ndikuŋŋaanya abantu ba Isirayiri okubaggya mu mawanga gye baasaasaanyizibwa, nditukuzibwa mu bo mu maaso g’amawanga, era balituula mu nsi eyaabwe gye nawa omuddu wange Yakobo.
26 They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgements on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
Balituula omwo mirembe, era balizimba amayumba ne basimba n’ennimiro ez’emizabbibu. Bwe ndibonereza baliraanwa baabwe bonna abaabayisa obubi, bo baliba batudde mirembe. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda waabwe.’”
