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.
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD’S house, which looketh eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, 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 unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city.
3 Boogera nti, ‘Ekiseera tekituuse tuzimbe amayumba? Ekibuga kino ye ntamu, ffe nnyama.’
which say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
4 Kyonoova obawa obunnabbi; era yogera ggwe omwana w’omuntu.”
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O 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 he said unto me, Speak, Thus saith the LORD: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 Musse abantu bangi mu kibuga kino, ne mujjuza enguudo zaakyo abafu.
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye 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 ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this [city] is the caldron: but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
8 Mutya ekitala, era ekitala kye ndibaleetako, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Ye 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 bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 Muligwa n’ekitala, era ndibasalira omusango ku nsalo ya Isirayiri, ne mumanya nga nze Mukama.
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye 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 [city] shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
12 Mulitegeera nga nze Mukama, kubanga temugoberedde biragiro byange newaakubadde amateeka gange, naye mukoze ng’amawanga amalala agabeetoolodde bwe gakola.”
and ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither have ye executed my judgments, but have done after the ordinances 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 Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the LORD came unto 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, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, [are they] unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD; unto us is this land given for a possession:
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 say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where 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 say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been 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 come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof 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 I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an 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 statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will 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 the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, 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.
Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
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 upon the mountain which 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 in the vision by the spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 Awo okwolesebwa kwe nafuna ne nkuvaako, ne ntegeeza abaawaŋŋangusibwa byonna Mukama bye yali andaze.
Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
