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 lift me up doth a spirit, and it bringeth me in unto the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that is facing the east, and lo, at the opening of the gate twenty and five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads 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 saith unto me, 'Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;
3 Boogera nti, ‘Ekiseera tekituuse tuzimbe amayumba? Ekibuga kino ye ntamu, ffe nnyama.’
who are saying, It [is] not near — to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we the flesh.
4 Kyonoova obawa obunnabbi; era yogera ggwe omwana w’omuntu.”
Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, 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 fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith unto me, 'Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known.
6 Musse abantu bangi mu kibuga kino, ne mujjuza enguudo zaakyo abafu.
Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.
7 “Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Emirambo gye musuddemu ye nnyama, n’ekibuga kino ye ntamu, naye ndikibagobamu.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye placed in its midst, They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, And you he hath brought out from its midst.
8 Mutya ekitala, era ekitala kye ndibaleetako, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
9 Ndibagoba mu kibuga, ne mbawaayo mu mukono gwa bannamawanga ne bababonereza.
And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done among you judgments.
10 Muligwa n’ekitala, era ndibasalira omusango ku nsalo ya Isirayiri, ne mumanya nga nze Mukama.
By the sword ye do fall, On the border of Israel I do judge you, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
11 Ekibuga kino tekiriba ntamu yammwe, era nammwe temuliba nnyama yaakyo. Ndibasalira omusango ku nsalo ya Isirayiri.
It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you.
12 Mulitegeera nga nze Mukama, kubanga temugoberedde biragiro byange newaakubadde amateeka gange, naye mukoze ng’amawanga amalala agabeetoolodde bwe gakola.”
And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, For in My statutes ye have not walked, And My Judgments ye have not done, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are round about you — ye have done!'
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 cometh to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry — a loud voice — and say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, an end Thou art making of the remnant of Israel.'
14 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And there is a word of Jehovah 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, thy brethren, men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel — all of it, [are] they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from Jehovah;
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.’
it [is] ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance; therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands whither they have gone in.
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 said the Lord Jehovah: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which ye have been scattered, And I have given to you the ground of Israel.
18 “Bwe balikomawo, baliggyamu ebitali bya butuukirivu byonna n’eby’emizizo ebirimu byonna.
And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations — out of it.
19 Ndibawa omutima gumu ne mbateekamu omwoyo omuggya; ndibaggyamu omutima ogw’ejjinja, ne mbawa omutima ogw’ennyama.
And I have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given to them a heart of flesh.
20 Oluvannyuma baligoberera ebiragiro byange, ne bagenderera okukuuma amateeka gange, era baliba bantu bange, nange ndiba Katonda waabwe.
So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.
21 Naye abo abanaagoberera ebitali bya butuukirivu n’eby’emizizo, ndibaleetako ebyo bye baakola ku mitwe gyabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
22 Awo bakerubi, ne zinnamuziga nga ziri ku mabbali gaabwe ne bayimusa ebiwaawaatiro byabwe, ng’ekitiibwa kya Katonda wa Isirayiri kibali waggulu.
And the cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels [are] over-against them, and the honour of the God of Israel [is] 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 honour of Jehovah goeth up from off the midst of the city, and standeth on the mountain, that [is] on the east of the city.
24 Omwoyo n’ansitula mu kwolesebwa okw’Omwoyo wa Katonda n’antwala mu Bukaludaaya eri abaawaŋŋangusibwa.
And a spirit hath lifted me up, and bringeth me in to Chaldea, unto the Removed, in a vision, by the Spirit of God, and go up from off me doth the vision that I have seen;
25 Awo okwolesebwa kwe nafuna ne nkuvaako, ne ntegeeza abaawaŋŋangusibwa byonna Mukama bye yali andaze.
and I speak unto the Removed all the matters of Jehovah that He hath shewed me.
