Ezeekyeri 19
1 Kungubagira abalangira ba Isirayiri,
And you take up a lamentation because of [the] princes of Israel.
2 oyogere nti, “‘Maama wo nga yali mpologoma nkazi, mu mpologoma! Yagalamiranga wakati mu mpologoma ento, n’erabirira abaana baayo.
And you will say what? [was] mother your a lioness between lions she lay down in among young lions she reared cubs her.
3 N’ekuza emu ku baana baayo n’efuuka empologoma ey’amaanyi, n’eyiga okuyigga ebisolo, n’okulya abantu.
And she brought up one of cubs her a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
4 Amawanga gaawulira ebimufaako, n’akwatirwa mu kinnya kye yali asimye, ne bamusibamu amalobo ne bamuleeta mu nsi y’e Misiri.
And they heard concerning it nations in pit their it was caught and they brought it with hooks to [the] land of Egypt.
5 “‘Awo bwe yalaba essuubi lye nga terituukiridde, ne bye yali alindirira nga biyise, n’eddira emu ku baana baayo ab’empologoma endala, n’egifuula empologoma ey’amaanyi.
And she saw that she waited it was lost hope her and she took one of cubs her a young lion she made it.
6 N’etambulatambula mu mpologoma, kubanga yali efuuse empologoma ey’amaanyi, era n’eyiga okuyigga ensolo, n’okulya abantu.
And it went about in among lions a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
7 N’emenyaamenya ebifo byabwe eby’amaanyi, n’ezikiriza n’ebibuga byabwe; ensi n’abo bonna abaagibeerangamu, ne batya olw’okuwuluguma kwayo.
And it knew widows its and cities their it laid waste and it was desolate [the] land and what fills it from [the] sound of roaring its.
8 Awo amawanga gonna ne gagirumba, okuva mu bitundu ebyali byetooloddewo, ne bayanjuluza ekitimba kyabwe, ne bagikwatira mu kinnya kyabwe.
And they set on it nations all around from provinces and they spread out over it net their in pit their it was caught.
9 Ne bakozesa amalobo okugisikayo, ne bagiteeka mu kayumba ak’ebyuma, ne bagitwala eri kabaka w’e Babulooni; n’eteekebwa mu kkomera, n’etaddayo kuwulikika nate ku nsozi za Isirayiri.
And they put it in cage with hooks and they brought it to [the] king of Babylon they brought it in strongholds so that not it will be heard voice its again to [the] mountains of Israel.
10 “‘Maama wo yali ng’omuzabbibu mu nnimiro ogwasimbibwa okumpi n’amazzi; ne gubala ebibala ne bijjula amatabi, kubanga waaliwo amazzi mangi.
Mother your like vine in blood your at water planted fruitful and full of branches it was from waters many.
11 Amatabi gaagwo gaali magumu, era nga gasaanira okukolebwamu omuggo gw’obwakabaka. Omuzabbibu ogwo gwali muwanvu ne guyitamu okusinga emiti emirala, ne gumanyibwa olw’obuwanvu bwagwo, n’olw’amatabi gaagwo amangi.
And they belonged to it branches of strength to scepters of rulers and it was lofty stature its above between branches and it was seen by height its by [the] abundance of branches its.
12 Naye gwasigulibwa n’ekiruyi ne gusuulibwa wansi; embuyaga ez’Ebuvanjuba ne zigukaza, ebibala byagwo ne biggwaako, n’amatabi gaakwo amagumu ne gakala, era ne gwokebwa omuliro.
And it was plucked up in rage to the ground it was thrown down and [the] wind of the east it dried up fruit its they were torn off and they became dry [the] branch of strength its a fire it consumed it.
13 Kaakano gusimbiddwa mu ddungu, awakalu awatali mazzi.
And now [it is] planted in the wilderness in a land dry and thirst.
14 Omuliro gwava ku limu ku matabi, ne gwokya amatabi gaagwo n’ebibala byagwo. Tewasigadde ttabi ggumu na limu ku gwo eriyinza okukolwamu omuggo ogw’obwakabaka.’ Kuno kukungubaga, era kukozesebwa ng’okukungubaga.”
And it went out fire from [the] branch of shoots its fruit its it consumed and not it was in it a branch of strength a scepter to rule [is] a lamentation it and it has become a lamentation.
