Ezeekyeri 16
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 “Omwana w’omuntu manyisa Yerusaalemi ebikolwa bye eby’ekivve,
“Son of man, inform Jerusalem about her abominations,
3 oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri Yerusaalemi: Wasibuka era n’ozaalibwa mu nsi ey’Abakanani; Kitaawo yali Mwamoli, ne nnyoko nga Mukiiti.
and declare, 'The Lord Yahweh says this to Jerusalem: Your beginning and your birth took place in the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
4 Ku lunaku kwe wazaalirwa, tewasalibwa kkundi, so tewanaazibwa na mazzi kutukula, newaakubadde okusiigibwa omunnyo, newaakubadde okubikkibwa mu ngoye.
On the day of your birth, your mother did not cut your navel, nor did she purify you in water or rub you down with salt, or wrap cloth around you.
5 Tewali yakusaasira so tewali yakukwatirwa kisa kukukolera ebintu ebyo byonna, naye wasuulibwa ebweru ku ttale, kubanga wanyoomebwa okuva ku lunaku kwe wazaalirwa.
No eye had compassion for you to do any of these things for you, to be compassionate toward you. On the day that you were born, with loathing for your life, you were thrown out into the open field.
6 “‘Bwe nnali nga mpitaayita ne nkulaba ng’osambagala mu musaayi gwo, ne nkugamba nti, “Ba mulamu!”
But I passed by you, and I saw you writhing in your own blood; so I said to you in your blood, “Live!” I said to you in your blood, “Live!”
7 Ne nkukuza ne nkulabirira ng’ekimuli mu nnimiro. N’okula n’owanvuwa n’olabika bulungi nnyo mu maaso ng’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi; n’osuna amabeere, n’enviiri zo ne zikula, ggwe eyali obwereere nga tobikkiddwako.
I made you grow like a plant in a field. You multiplied and became great, and you became the jewel of jewels. Your breasts became firm, and your hair grew thick, though you had been naked and bare.
8 “‘Oluvannyuma lwa bbanga, bwe nnali nga mpitaayita, ne nkulengera ne ndaba ng’okuze era ng’otuuse okufumbirwa, ne nkwaliirako ekirenge kyange ne mbikka ku bwereere bwo; ne nkulayirira ne nkola naawe endagaano, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, n’ofuuka wange.
I passed by you again, and I saw you. See! the time of love came for you, so I spread my robe over you and covered your nakedness. Then I swore to you and brought you into a covenant—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and you became mine.
9 “‘Ne nkunaaza n’amazzi, ne nkunaazaako omusaayi, ne nkusiigako amafuta.
So I washed you with water and rinsed your blood off you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 Ne nkwambaza olugoye oluliko omudalizo, ne nkuwa n’engatto ez’amaliba; ne nkwambaza olugoye olwa linena ne nkubikkako engoye ez’omuwendo omungi.
I dressed you in embroidered clothes and placed leather sandals on your feet. I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 Ne kunaanika amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi; ne nkuteeka ebikomo ku mukono, n’omukuufu mu bulago,
Next I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain around your neck.
12 ne nkuteeka empeta mu nnyindo, n’eby’omu matu ku matu, ne nkutikkira n’engule ku mutwe.
I put a nose ring in your nostrils and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Wayonjebwa ne zaabu n’effeeza, n’engoye zo zaali za linena, n’ebyambalo byo byali byamuwendo mungi era nga biriko omudalizo. Walyanga emmere ey’obutta obulungi, n’omubisi gw’enjuki n’omuzigo ogw’omuzeyituuni. Walungiwa nnyo n’otuuka ku mwaliiro ery’obwa kabaka omukazi.
So you were adorned with gold and silver, and you were dressed in fine linen, silk, and embroidered clothes; you ate fine flour, honey, and oil, and you were very beautiful, and you became a queen.
14 Ettutumu lyo lyabuna mu mawanga olw’obulungi bwo, kubanga nakuwa ekitiibwa kyange, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect in the majesty that I had given to you—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
15 “‘Naye weesiga obulungi bwo, n’okozesa ettutumu lyo okukola obwenzi, n’ofuka obukaba bwo ku buli eyayitangawo obulungi bwo ne bufuuka bubwe.
But you trusted in your own beauty, and you acted like a prostitute because of your fame; you poured out your acts of prostitution on everyone who passed by, so that your beauty became his.
16 Waddira ebimu ku byambalo byo ne weekolera ebifo ebigulumivu nga byamabala mangi, gye wakoleranga obwenzi bwo. Ebintu bwe bityo tebikolebwa, era tebikolebwanga.
Then you took your clothes and with them you made high places for yourself decorated in various colors, and there you acted like a prostitute. This should not have happened. Nor should such a thing exist.
17 Ate era waddira emikuufu emirungi gye nnali nkuwadde, egyakolebwa mu zaabu n’effeeza bye nakuwa, ne weekolera bakatonda abalala abali mu bifaananyi eby’ekisajja, bw’otyo n’okola eby’obwenzi nabyo,
You took the fine jewels of the gold and silver that I gave you, and you made for yourself male figures, and you did with them as a prostitute would do.
18 n’oddira ebyambalo byo ebiriko emidalizo n’obibikkako, n’oteeka omuzigo gwange n’obubaane bwange mu maaso gaabyo.
You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set my oils and perfumes before them.
19 N’emmere gye nnali nkuwadde, obuwunga obw’obutta, n’omuzigo ogw’omuzeyituuni n’omubisi gw’enjuki bye nnali nkuwadde okulya, wabiwaayo okuba ebiweebwayo eby’evvumbe eddungi eri bbyo. Era bw’otyo bwe wakola, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
My bread I gave you—made with fine flour, oil, and honey—you set before them for a fragrant aroma, for this is what happened—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
20 “‘Waddira batabani bo ne bawala bo be wanzaalira, n’obawaayo ng’ebiweebwayo eby’emmere eri bakatonda abalala. Obwenzi bwe wakola bwali tebumala?
Then you took your sons and daughters whom you bore for me, and you sacrificed them to the images to be devoured as food. Are your acts of prostitution a small matter?
21 Watta abaana bange n’obawaayo ng’ebiweebwayo eri bakatonda abalala.
You slaughtered my children to the idols and made them pass through the fire.
22 Mu bikolwa byo byonna eby’ekivve n’obwenzi bwo, tewajjukira biseera eby’obuvubuka bwo, bwe wali obwereere nga toliiko bw’oli, era ng’osambagala mu musaayi gwo.
In all your abominations and your acts of prostitution you have not thought about the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare as you thrashed about in your blood.
23 “‘Zikusanze! Zikusanze, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Mu bikolwa byo ebibi byonna,
Woe! Woe to you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—therefore, in addition to all this wickedness,
24 weezimbira ekifo ekigulumivu ne weekolera n’essabo mu buli kibangirizi ekigazi eky’ekibuga.
you built yourself a vaulted chamber in every public place.
25 Buli luguudo we lusibuka, wazimbawo essabo lyo, n’okolerawo obwenzi, ng’owaayo omubiri gwo mu bukaba obungi eri buli eyayitangawo.
You built your high place at the head of every road and made your beauty a disgrace, and you spread your legs to anyone who passed by, and you multiplied your acts of prostitution.
26 Weetaba mu bwenzi ne baliraanwa bo abakaba Abamisiri, n’oyongera ku bukaba bwo n’onsunguwaza.
You have acted like a prostitute with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and you committed many more acts of prostitution, provoking me to anger.
27 Kyenava nkugololerako omukono gwange ne nkendeeza ku nsalo yo, ne nkuwaayo eri omululu gw’abalabe bo abawala b’Abafirisuuti, abeekanga olw’obukaba bwo.
See! I will strike you with my hand and cut off your food. I will hand your life over to your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your obscene behavior.
28 Weetaba mu bikolwa eby’obwenzi n’Abasuuli, kubanga tewamalibwa, ate n’oluvannyuma lw’ekyo n’otamatira.
You have acted like a prostitute with the Assyrians because you could not be satisfied. You acted like a prostitute and still were not satisfied.
29 N’oluvannyuma n’oyongerayo ebikolwa byo eby’obukaba mu Bakaludaaya, ensi ey’ebyamaguzi, naye era n’otamalibwa.
You performed many more acts of prostitution in the land of the merchants of Chaldea, and even this did not satisfy you.
30 “‘Omutima gwo nga munafu, n’okwewaayo ne weewaayo okukola ebintu ebyo byonna, ne weeyisa ng’omwenzi ow’amawaggali ateefiirayo.
How sick is your heart—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—that you would do all these things, deeds of a shameless prostitute?
31 Bwe wazimba ebifo byo ebigulumivu buli luguudo we lusibuka, n’oteeka amasabo go mu buli kibangirizi ekigazi, tewafaanana ng’omwenzi kubanga wanyoomanga empeera.
You have built your high places at the head of every street and made your vaulted chamber in every public place. Yet you were not like a prostitute because you refused to take payment.
32 “‘Ggwe omukazi omwenzi eyeegomba abatambuze okusinga balo!
You adulterous woman, you accept strangers instead of your husband.
33 Buli mwenzi afuna empeera, naye ggwe owa baganzi bo bonna ebirabo, ng’obagulirira okujja gy’oli okuva buli wamu olw’obwenzi bwo.
People give payment to every prostitute, but you give your wages to all your lovers and bribe them to come to you from all around for your acts of prostitution.
34 Era mu bikolwa byo eby’obwenzi tofaanana ng’abalala; tewali akusindika kukola bwenzi. Oli wanjawulo okuva ku balala kubanga osasula empeera, naye ate nga tewali akusasula.
So there is a difference between you and those other women, since no one goes to you to ask you to sleep with them. Instead, you pay them. No one pays you.
35 “‘Kale nno, wulira ekigambo kya Mukama ggwe omwenzi.
Therefore, you prostitute, listen to the word of Yahweh.
36 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Olw’obugagga bwo bwe walaga, n’oyanika obwereere bwo wakati mu baganzi bo ng’okola ebikolwa eby’obwenzi, n’olwa bakatonda bo abalala ab’ekivve, n’okuwaayo omusaayi gw’abaana bo,
The Lord Yahweh says this: Because you have poured out your lust and uncovered your nakedness through your acts of prostitution with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children's blood,
37 kyendiva nkuŋŋaanya baganzi bo bonna, be wasinza, bonna be wayagala ne be wakyawa, gy’oli ne bakwetooloola, ne nkufungulirira mu maaso gaabwe, balabe obwereere bwo.
therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers that you have met, all those whom you loved and all those whom you hated, and I will gather them against you on every side. I will uncover your nakedness to them so they see all your nakedness.
38 Ndikusalira omusango ne nkuwa ekibonerezo ng’eky’abakazi abenzi n’abo abayiwa omusaayi, ne nkuleetako omusaayi ogw’ekiruyi n’obuggya.
For I will punish you for adultery and the shedding of blood, and I will bring on you the bloodshed of my anger and passion.
39 N’oluvannyuma ndikuwaayo mu mukono gw’abaganzi bo; balimenyaamenya ebifo byo ebigulumivu, ne bazikiriza amasabo go. Era balikwambula ebyambalo byo, ne batwala eby’omuwendo byo, ne bakuleka ng’oli bukunya.
I will give you into their hands so they will throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your high places and they will strip you of your clothes and take all of your jewelry. They will leave you naked and bare.
40 Balisendasenda enkuyanja y’abantu, ne bakukuba amayinja, ne bakutemaatema obufiififi n’ebitala byabwe.
Then they will bring up a crowd against you and stone you with stones, and they will cut you apart with their swords.
41 Balyokya amayumba go ne bakubonereza mu maaso g’abakyala abangi, era ndikulesaayo ebikolwa byo eby’obwenzi so tolisasula baganzi bo mpeera.
They will burn your houses and will perform many acts of punishment on you in the sight of many women, for I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers.
42 N’oluvannyuma obusungu bwange bulikendeera, n’obuggya bwange bulikuvaako, era ndiba mukkakkamu, nga sirina busungu.
Then I will calm my fury against you; my anger will leave you, for I will be satisfied, and will no longer be angry.
43 “‘Kubanga tojjukira biseera eby’obuvubuka bwo, n’onnyiiza n’ebintu ebyo byonna; kyendiva nkuleetako omusango olw’ebikolwa byo, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Ku bukaba obwo bwonna si kwe wayongera ebikolwa ebyo byonna eby’ekivve?
Because you did not call to mind the days of your youth and have made me shake with anger because of all these things, therefore, behold! I myself will bring down on your own head the punishment for what you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration. Have you not added prostitution to all your other detestable practices?
44 “‘Buli agera engero anaakugereranga olugero luno nga boogera nti, “Nnyina ne muwala we batyo.”
Behold! Everyone who speaks proverbs concerning you will say, “As the mother is, so also is her daughter.”
45 Oli muwala wa nnyoko ddala, eyanyooma bba n’abaana be, era oli mwannyina ddala owa baganda bo abanyooma ba bbaabwe n’abaana baabwe. Nnyoko yali Mukiiti, kitaawo nga Mwamoli.
You are the daughter of your mother, who detested her husband and her children, and you are the sister of your sisters who detested their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father was an Amorite.
46 Mukulu wo yali Samaliya eyabeeranga ne bawala be ku luuyi lwo olw’Obukiikakkono, ne muto wo ne bawala be nga babeera ku luuyi lwo olw’Obukiikaddyo, era nga ye Sodomu.
Your older sister was Samaria and her daughters were the ones living in the north, while your younger sister was the one living south of you, that is, Sodom and her daughters.
47 Tewakoma ku kugoberera ngeri zaabwe kyokka, n’okukoppa ebikolwa byabwe eby’ekivve, naye waayitawo ebbanga ttono engeri zo zonna ne zisukka ku zaabwe obubi.
You not only walked in their ways and copied their behavior and practices, but in all your ways you have been worse than they were.
48 Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, muganda wo Sodomu ne bawala be tebaatuuka ku ssa, ggwe ne bawala bo kwe mwatuuka.
As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—your sister Sodom and her daughters, have not done as much evil as you and your daughters have done.
49 “‘Guno gwe musango muganda wo Sodomu gwe yazza: ye ne bawala be baali baamalala, nga baamululu abatafaayo, wadde okuyamba abaavu abaali mu bwetaavu.
Behold! This was the sin of your sister Sodom that she was arrogant in her leisure, careless and unconcerned about anything. She did not strengthen the hands of the poor and needy people.
50 Baali baamalala, era baakola ebikolwa eby’ekivve mu maaso gange, kyennava mbaggyawo nga bwe nasiima.
She was arrogant and committed disgusting actions before me, so I took them away just as you have seen.
51 So ne Samaliya teyatuuka awo; wakola ebikolwa eby’ekivve okusinga ne bwe baakola, era n’oleetera baganda bo okulabika ng’abatuukirivu mu ebyo byonna by’okola.
Neither did Samaria commit even half of your sins; instead, you have done many more disgusting things than they did, and you have shown that your sisters were better than you because of all the disgusting things that you do!
52 Kaakano naawe k’ojjule ensonyi, kubanga owolereza baganda bo, ate n’ebibi bye wakola biswaza okusinga ebyabwe, kyebaliva balabika nga batuukirivu okukusinga. Kyonoova oswala, ne weetikka obuswavu bwo, kubanga oleetedde baganda bo okulabika ng’abatuukirivu.
Especially you, show your own shame; in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you, because of the sins you committed in all those disgusting ways. Your sisters now seem better than you. Especially you, show your own shame, for in this way you have shown that your sisters were better than you.
53 “‘Wabula ndizzaawo obugagga bwa Sodomu ne bawala be, n’obwa Samaliya ne bawala be, ate ne nzizaawo n’obubwo,
For I will restore their fortunes—the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters; but your fortunes will be among them.
54 olyoke weetikke obuswavu bwo, oswale mu maaso gaabwe olw’ebyo byonna bye wakola ng’obawooyawooya.
On account of these things you will show your shame; you will be humiliated because of everything that you have done, and in this way you will be a comfort to them.
55 Baganda bo, Sodomu wamu ne bawala be, ne Samaliya wamu ne bawala be baliddayo nga bwe baali edda, ate naawe oliddayo n’obeera nga bwe wali edda.
So your sister Sodom and her daughters will be restored to their former condition, and Samaria and her daughters will be restored to their former estate. Then you and your daughters will be restored to your former condition.
56 Lwaki muganda wo Sodomu teyayogerwako ku lunaku olw’amalala go,
Sodom your sister was not even mentioned by your mouth in the days when you were proud,
57 okwonoona kwo nga tekunnabikkulwa? Kaakano ofuuse kyakusekererwa eri abawala ab’e Busuuli ne baliraanwa be bonna, n’eri abawala aba Bufirisuuti, abo bonna abakwetoolodde abakunyooma.
before your wickedness was revealed. But now you are an object of scorn to the daughters of Edom and to all the daughters of the Philistines around her. People all about despise you.
58 Olibonerezebwa olw’obukaba bwo n’ebikolwa byo eby’ekivve, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
You will show your shame and your disgusting actions!—this is Yahweh's declaration!
59 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndikukola nga bwe kikusaanira, kubanga wanyooma ekirayiro kyange, bwe wamenya endagaano.
The Lord Yahweh says this: I will deal with you as you deserve, you who have despised your oath by breaking the covenant.
60 Naye ndijjukira endagaano gye nakola naawe mu biseera eby’obuvubuka bwo, era ndissaawo endagaano ey’emirembe n’emirembe.
But I myself will call to mind my covenant with you made in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Olwo olijjukira engeri zo, n’oswala bw’olitwala baganda bo abakusinga obukulu ne bato bo, ne mbankuwa babeere bawala bo, naye si lwa ndagaano yange naawe.
Then you will call to mind your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older sisters and your younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.
62 Ndinyweza endagaano yange naawe, era olimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda,
I myself will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
63 n’oluvannyuma olw’okutangiririrwa, olijjukira ne wejjusa n’otaddayo kwasamya nate kamwa ko, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
Because of these things, you will call everything to mind and be ashamed, so you will no longer open your mouth to speak because of your shame, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”
