Ezeekyeri 11
1 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.
And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people.
2 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, bano be basajja abeekobaana okukola ebitali bya butuukirivu era abawabya ekibuga kino.
And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city,
3 Boogera nti, ‘Ekiseera tekituuse tuzimbe amayumba? Ekibuga kino ye ntamu, ffe nnyama.’
Saying: Were not houses lately built? This city is the caldron, and we the flesh.
4 Kyonoova obawa obunnabbi; era yogera ggwe omwana w’omuntu.”
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, thou son of man.
5 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.
And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart.
6 Musse abantu bangi mu kibuga kino, ne mujjuza enguudo zaakyo abafu.
You have killed a great many in this city, and you have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
7 “Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Emirambo gye musuddemu ye nnyama, n’ekibuga kino ye ntamu, naye ndikibagobamu.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst thereof, they are the flesh, and this is the caldron: and I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof.
8 Mutya ekitala, era ekitala kye ndibaleetako, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord God.
9 Ndibagoba mu kibuga, ne mbawaayo mu mukono gwa bannamawanga ne bababonereza.
And I will cast you out of the midst thereof, and I will deliver you into the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments upon you.
10 Muligwa n’ekitala, era ndibasalira omusango ku nsalo ya Isirayiri, ne mumanya nga nze Mukama.
You shall fall by the sword: I will judge you in the borders of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
11 Ekibuga kino tekiriba ntamu yammwe, era nammwe temuliba nnyama yaakyo. Ndibasalira omusango ku nsalo ya Isirayiri.
This shall not be as a caldron to you, and you shall not be as flesh in the midst thereof: I will judge you in the borders of Israel.
12 Mulitegeera nga nze Mukama, kubanga temugoberedde biragiro byange newaakubadde amateeka gange, naye mukoze ng’amawanga amalala agabeetoolodde bwe gakola.”
And you shall know that I am the Lord: because you have not walked in my commandments, and have not done my judgments, but you have done according to the judgments of the nations that; are round about you.
13 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?”
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pheltias the son of Banaias died: and I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice: and said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God: wilt thou make an end of all the remnant of Israel?
14 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
15 “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.’”
Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, thy kinsmen, and all the house of Israel, all they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get ye far from the Lord, the land is given in possession to us.
16 “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.’
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because I have removed them far off among the Gentiles, and because I have scattered them among the countries: I will be to them a little sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.
17 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.’
Therefore speak to them: Thus saith the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 “Bwe balikomawo, baliggyamu ebitali bya butuukirivu byonna n’eby’emizizo ebirimu byonna.
And they shall go in thither, and shall take away all the scandals, and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19 Ndibawa omutima gumu ne mbateekamu omwoyo omuggya; ndibaggyamu omutima ogw’ejjinja, ne mbawa omutima ogw’ennyama.
And I will give them one heart, and will put a new spirit in their bowels: and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:
20 Oluvannyuma baligoberera ebiragiro byange, ne bagenderera okukuuma amateeka gange, era baliba bantu bange, nange ndiba Katonda waabwe.
That they may walk in my commandments, and keep my judgments, and do them: and that they may be my people, and I may be their God.
21 Naye abo abanaagoberera ebitali bya butuukirivu n’eby’emizizo, ndibaleetako ebyo bye baakola ku mitwe gyabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
But as for them whose heart walketh after their scandals and abominations, I will lay their way upon their head, saith the Lord God.
22 Awo bakerubi, ne zinnamuziga nga ziri ku mabbali gaabwe ne bayimusa ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ng’ekitiibwa kya Katonda wa Isirayiri kibali waggulu.
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and the wheels with them: and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.
23 Ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kiva wakati mu kibuga ne kiyimirira waggulu w’olusozi oluli ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba w’ekibuga.
And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood over the mount that is on the east side of the city.
24 Omwoyo n’ansitula mu kwolesebwa okw’Omwoyo wa Katonda n’antwala mu Bukaludaaya eri abaawaŋŋangusibwa.
And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into Chaldea, to them of the captivity, in vision, by the spirit of God: and the vision which I had seen was taken up from me.
25 Awo okwolesebwa kwe nafuna ne nkuvaako, ne ntegeeza abaawaŋŋangusibwa byonna Mukama bye yali andaze.
And I spoke to them of the captivity all the words of the Lord, which he had shewn me.
