Ezeekyeri 12
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
2 “Omwana w’omuntu obeera mu bantu abajeemu. Balina amaaso okulaba, naye tebalaba, balina n’amatu okuwulira naye tebawulira, kubanga bantu bajeemu.
Son of man, you dwell in the middle of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
3 “Noolwekyo omwana w’omuntu, sibako ebibyo ogende mu buwaŋŋanguse, ate kikole misana, nga balaba ogende mu kifo ekirala. Oboolyawo balitegeera, newaakubadde nga nnyumba njeemu.
Therefore, you son of man, prepare you stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and you shall remove from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
4 Fulumya ebibyo by’otwala mu buwaŋŋanguse emisana, nga balaba. Ate akawungeezi, ofulume nga balaba, ogende ng’abo abagenda mu buwaŋŋanguse.
Then shall you bring forth your stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and you shall go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
5 Botola ekituli mu bbugwe oyiseemu ebibyo, nga balaba.
Dig you through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
6 Biteeke ku kibegabega kyo nga balaba, obifulumye obudde nga buwungeera. Bikka ku maaso oleme okulaba ensi, kubanga nkufudde akabonero eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri.”
In their sight shall you bear it on your shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: you shall cover your face, that you see not the ground: for I have set you for a sign to the house of Israel.
7 Ne nkola nga bwe ndagiddwa. Emisana, ne nfulumya ebintu byange nga neetegese okugenda mu buwaŋŋanguse. Akawungeezi ne nkuba ekituli mu bbugwe n’engalo zange, ne nfulumya ebyange nga mbitadde ku kibegabega kyange nga balaba, obudde nga buwungedde, enjuba ng’ebuliddeyo.
And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I dig through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bore it on my shoulder in their sight.
8 Ku makya, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
And in the morning came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
9 “Omwana w’omuntu, ennyumba ya Isirayiri enjeemu teyakubuuza nti, ‘Okola ki ekyo?’
Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What do you?
10 “Bagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, obubaka buno bukwata ku mufuzi ali mu Yerusaalemi, n’abantu ba Isirayiri bonna abaliyo.’
Say you to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
11 Bagambe nti, ‘Ndi kabonero gye muli.’ “Nga bwe nkoze, nabo bwe balikibakola. Baliwaŋŋangusibwa ne batwalibwa nga bawambe.
Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall remove and go into captivity.
12 “Omufuzi ali mu bo aliteeka ebintu bye ku kibegabega kye agende ng’obudde buwungedde, enjuba ng’ebuliddeyo, balibotola ekituli mu bbugwe ayitemu agende. Alibikka amaaso ge, aleme kulaba nsi.
And the prince that is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
13 Ndimwanjuliriza ekitimba kyange, akwatibwe mu mutego gwange. Ndimutwala e Babulooni, mu nsi ey’Abakaludaaya, naye taligiraba, era eyo gy’alifiira.
My net also will I spread on him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
14 Ndisaasaanyiza eri empewo zonna, bonna abamwetoolodde, abakozi be n’eggye lye lyonna era ndibawondera n’ekitala ekisowoddwa.
And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15 “Balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndibasaasaanya mu mawanga, ne mbabunya mu nsi.
And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
16 Kyokka ndirekawo batono ku bo abaliwona ekitala, n’abaliwona enjala n’abaliwona kawumpuli, balyoke bejjuse olw’ebikolwa byabwe eby’emizizo, nga bali eyo mu mawanga. Olwo balitegeera nga nze Mukama.”
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen where they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
17 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “Omwana w’omuntu, lya emmere yo ng’okankana, era nnywa amazzi go ng’ojugumira.”
Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with carefulness;
19 Tegeeza abantu ab’omu nsi nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ku abo ababeera mu Yerusaalemi ne mu nsi ya Isirayiri nti, Balirya emmere yaabwe nga beeraliikirira, banywe n’amazzi gaabwe nga batya, kubanga ensi yaabwe erinyagibwa mu buli kintu ekirimu, olw’obukambwe bw’abo bonna ababeera eyo.
And say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
20 Ebibuga ebituulwamu birizikirizibwa, n’ensi n’efuuka amatongo, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama.”
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
21 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
22 “Omwana w’omuntu, makulu ki agali mu lugero olukwata ku nsi ya Isirayiri, olugamba nti, ‘Ennaku ziggwaayo naye teri kwolesebwa kutuukirira?’
Son of man, what is that proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
23 Bagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ŋŋenda kukomya olugero luno, era tebaliddayo nate kulwogera, mu Isirayiri.’ Bagambe nti, ‘Ebiro binaatera okutuuka, okwolesebwa kwonna lwe kulituukirira.
Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24 Tewaliba nate kwolesebwa kwa bulimba newaakubadde obunnabbi obusavuwaze mu bantu ba Isirayiri.
For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 Naye nze Mukama ndyogera kye ndisiima, era kirituukirira amangu ddala. Mu nnaku zo ggwe ennyumba enjeemu, ndyogera ekigambo era ndikituukiriza, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, says the Lord GOD.
26 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying.
27 “Omwana w’omuntu, laba, ennyumba ya Isirayiri egamba nti, ‘Okwolesebwa kwalaba kw’amyaka mingi okuva ne kaakano, era ayogera obunnabbi obulibaawo mu bbanga ery’ewala.’
Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of the times that are far off.
28 “Noolwekyo bagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, tewalibaawo nate kigambo kyange na kimu ekirirwisibwa, buli kye njogera kirituukirira, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, says the Lord GOD.
