Ezekiel 4
1 'And thou, son of man, take to thee a brick, and thou hast put it before thee, and hast graven on it a city — Jerusalem,
“Kaakano omwana w’omuntu, ddira ekipande eky’ebbumba okiteeke mu maaso go, okikubeko ekifaananyi ky’ekibuga Yerusaalemi,
2 and hast placed against it a siege, and builded against it a fortification, and poured out against it a mount, and placed against it camps, yea, set thou against it battering-rams round about.
okizingize, okizimbeko bbugwe okukyetooloola, okituumeko ekifunvu, era oteekewo ensiisira okukyetooloola n’ebifunvu bye banaatomera enjuuyi zonna.
3 And thou, take to thee an iron pan, and thou hast made it a wall of iron between thee and the city; and thou hast prepared thy face against it, and it hath been in a siege, yea, thou hast laid siege against it. A sign it [is] to the house of Israel.
“Oluvannyuma oddire olukalango olw’ekyuma, oluteeke okuba bbugwe ow’ekyuma wakati wo n’ekibuga, okyuke okitunuulire. Kiriba mu mbeera ey’okuzingizibwa, era naawe kizingize. Ako kaliba kabonero eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
4 'And thou, lie on thy left side, and thou hast placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that thou liest on it, thou bearest their iniquity.
“N’oluvannyuma oligalamira ku lubiriizi lwo olwa kkono n’oddira ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Isirayiri okyeteekeko. Olyetikka ekibi kyabwe ennaku z’olimala ng’ogalamidde ku lubiriizi lwo.
5 And I — I have laid on thee the years of their iniquity, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and thou hast borne the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Ennaku z’olimala ezenkanankana emyaka gye baamala nga boonoona. Noolwekyo olimala ennaku ebikumi bisatu mu kyenda nga weetisse ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
6 And thou hast completed these, and hast lain on thy right side, a second time, and hast borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days — a day for a year — a day for a year I have appointed to thee.
“Ekyo bw’olikimala, oligalamira nate, ku mulundi guno ku lubiriizi lwo olwa ddyo, ne weetikka ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Yuda. Olimala ennaku amakumi ana, buli lunaku mwaka.
7 'And unto the siege of Jerusalem thou dost prepare thy face, and thine arm [is] uncovered, and thou hast prophesied concerning it.
Olikyusa amaaso go n’otunula eri okuzingizibwa kwa Yerusaalemi, okyogerereko ebigambo n’omukono gwo ogutali mubikkeko,
8 And lo, I have put on thee thick bands, and thou dost not turn from side to side till thy completing the days of thy siege.
Ndikusiba emiguwa n’otosobola kwekyusa okuva ku luuyi olumu okudda ku lulala, okutuusa ennaku ez’obusibe bwo lwe ziriggwaako.
9 'And thou, take to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and thou hast put them in one vessel, and made them to thee for bread; the number of the days that thou art lying on thy side — three hundred and ninety days — thou dost eat it.
“Ddira eŋŋaano ne sayiri, n’obulo, n’omukyere, n’ebijanjalo, n’enva endiirwa endala obisse mu kibya omuterekebwa, obikozese okwefumbira omugaati. Oligulya mu nnaku ezo ebikumi ebisatu mu ekyenda z’oliba ogalamidde ku luuyi olw’omubiri gwo.
10 And thy food that thou dost eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time thou dost eat it.
Opime gulaamu ebikumi bibiri mu amakumi asatu ez’emmere gy’olirya buli lunaku, era gy’oliriira mu biseera ebigere.
11 'And water by measure thou dost drink, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time thou dost drink [it].
Ate opime nga kitundu kya lita ey’amazzi, oganywe mu biseera ebigere.
12 A barley-cake thou dost eat it, and it with dung — the filth of man — thou dost bake before their eyes.
Olye emmere nga bwe wandiridde keeke eya sayiri; ogifumbe n’obusa bw’omuntu, ng’abantu balaba.”
13 And Jehovah saith, 'Thus do the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations whither I drive them.'
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Mu ngeri eno abantu ba Isirayiri baliriira emmere etali nnongoofu mu mawanga gye ndibasindika.”
14 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, my soul is not defiled, and carcase, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even till now; nor come into my mouth hath abominable flesh.'
Ne njogera nti, “Nedda Ayi Mukama Katonda. Sseeyonoonesanga, era okuva mu buto bwange n’okutuusa kaakano siryanga kifu wadde ekitaaguddwataaguddwa ensolo enkambwe. Siryanga nnyama etali nnongoofu.”
15 And He saith unto me, 'See, I have given to thee bullock's dung instead of man's dung, and thou hast made thy bread by it.'
N’ayogera nti, “Weewaawo, nnaakukkiriza okukozesa obusa bw’ente okufumba omugaati mu kifo ky’obusa bw’abantu.”
16 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, lo, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they do drink;
N’oluvannyuma n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, ndisalako emmere eri mu Yerusaalemi. Abantu balirya emmere engere mu kutya, ne banywa amazzi amapime mu kutya,
17 so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished one with another, and been consumed in their iniquity.
kubanga emmere n’amazzi biriba bya bbula. Tebalyagala kwetunulako, era baliggwaawo olw’ekibi kyabwe.”
