Ezeekyeri 13
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
2 “Omwana w’omuntu, yogera ebyobunnabbi eri bannabbi ba Isirayiri aboogera obunnabbi kaakano. Tegeeza abo aboogera obunnabbi bwe bayiiyizza nti, ‘Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama.
"Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, 'Hear the word of YHWH:
3 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, zibasanze bannabbi abasirusiru abagoberera omwoyo gwabwe ate nga tebalina kye balabye.
Thus says YHWH, "Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing.
4 Isirayiri, bannabbi bo bali ng’ebibe ebitambulatambula mu bifulukwa.
Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.
5 Temwambuse kuddaabiriza bbugwe n’okuziba ebituli ebirimu ku lw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, esobole okuyimirira nga ngumu mu lutalo ku lunaku lwa Mukama Katonda.
You have not gone up into the breaches, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of YHWH."
6 Okwolesebwa kwabwe kukyamu, n’okubikkulirwa kwabwe kwa bulimba. Mukama ne bw’aba tabatumye boogera nti, “bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda,” ne bamusuubira okutuukiriza ebyo bye boogedde.
They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, "YHWH says"; but YHWH has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.
7 Temulabye kwolesebwa kukyamu ne mwogera n’okubikkulirwa okw’obulimba, bwe mwogedde nti, “Mukama bw’ati bw’ayogera,” newaakubadde nga mba soogedde?
"Haven't you seen a false vision, and haven't you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, "YHWH says"; but I have not spoken?
8 “‘Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, olw’ebigambo byo ebikyamu n’olw’okwolesebwa kwo okw’obulimba, ndi mulabe wo.
Therefore thus says YHWH: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, look, I am against you, says YHWH.
9 Omukono gwange gulibeera ku bannabbi abalaba okwolesebwa okukyamu era aboogera okubikkulirwa okw’obulimba. Tebalituula mu kibiina eky’abantu bange newaakubadde okuwandiikibwa ku nkalala z’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, wadde okuyingira mu nsi ya Isirayiri. Olwo olimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda.
My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am YHWH.
10 “‘Olw’okuba nga babuzaabuza abantu bange nga boogera nti, “Mirembe,” ate nga tewali mirembe, ate bwe bazimba bbugwe omunafu, ne basiigako langi okubikka bye batazimbye bulungi,
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, 'Peace'; and there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, look, they plaster it with whitewash:
11 kyonoova ogamba abo ababikkirira ne langi nti bbugwe aligwa. Enkuba eritonnya nnyo, era ndisindika omuzira, n’embuyaga ez’amaanyi zirikunta.
tell those who plaster it with whitewash, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind break out.
12 Bbugwe bw’aligwa, abantu tebalikubuuza nti, “Langi gye wasiigako eruwa?”
Look, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, 'Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?'
13 “‘Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Mu kiruyi kyange ndisindika kibuyaga ow’amaanyi, ne mu busungu bwange ndisindika omuzira, ne mu bukambwe obungi enkuba ennyingi ennyo eritonnya okukizikiriza.
"'"Therefore thus says YHWH: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.
14 Ndimenya bbugwe gwe mwasiiga langi musaasaanye ku ttaka, n’omusingi gwe gusigale nga gwasaamiridde. Bw’aligwa, alikugwiira n’ozikirizibwa, olyoke omanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.
So will I break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in its midst: and you shall know that I am YHWH.
15 Ndimalira ekiruyi kyange ku bbugwe ne ku abo abaakisiiga langi, nga ŋŋamba nti, “Bbugwe agenze, era abaamusiiga langi nabo balugenze,
Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, 'The wall is no more, neither those who plastered it;
16 abo bannabbi ba Isirayiri abaayogera eby’obunnabbi eri Yerusaalemi ne balabikirwa okwolesebwa ow’emirembe gye bali, ate nga tewaaliwo mirembe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”’
to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,'"' says YHWH."
17 “Kaakano omwana w’omuntu, amaaso go gateeke ku bawala b’abantu bo aboogera eby’obunnabbi bye bayiiyizza. Bawe obunnabbi, oyogere nti,
"You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,
18 ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Zibasanze abakazi abatunga ebikomo eby’obulogo ku mikono gyabwe ne batunga ebyokwebikkirira ku mutwe ebiwanvu mu ngeri ez’enjawulo basobole okutega abantu. Olitega obulamu bw’abantu bange, naye ne weesigaliza obubwo?
and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Woe to the women who sew pillows on all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls. Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?
19 Onswazizza mu bantu bange olw’embatu entono eza sayiri n’olw’obukunkumuka bw’emigaati, bw’osse abantu abatateekwa kuttibwa, ate n’oleka abatateekwa kuba balamu, ng’obalimba nabo ne bawuliriza eby’obulimba.
You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies."
20 “‘Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndi mulabe w’obulogo bwo, bw’okozesa okuteega abantu ng’ateega ebinyonyi, era ndibaggya mu mikono gyo. Ndinunula abantu be wateega ng’ebinyonyi n’obasiba.
"'Therefore thus says YHWH: "Look, I am against your pillows, with which you there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt to make them fly.
21 Ndiyuza ebyambalo byo ebyokwebikkirira, ne mponya abantu bange mu mikono gyo, ne bataddayo kugwa mu mutego gwa buyinza bwo, olyoke omanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.
Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am YHWH.
22 Kubanga wanakuwaza abatuukirivu n’obulimba bwo, ate nga nnali sibanakuwazza. Olw’okuleetera abakozi b’ebibi okweyongera mu ngeri zaabwe ezitali za butuukirivu, n’owonya obulamu bwabwe,
Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:
23 ky’oliva olemwa okulaba okwolesebwa okukyamu wadde okufuna okubikkulirwa. Ndiwonya abantu bange okuva mu mikono gyo, olyokye omanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.’”
Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am YHWH."'"
