Ezeekyeri 2
1 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, yimirira njogere naawe.”
And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
2 Awo bwe yali ng’akyayogera nange, Omwoyo nanzikako n’annyimusa, ne mpulira ng’ayogera nange.
And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto me.
3 N’ayogera nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, nkutuma eri Abayisirayiri, eri eggwanga ejeemu eryanjeemera, era bo ne bajjajjaabwe banjeemera okuva edda n’okutuusa olunaku lwa leero.
And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me unto this very day;
4 Abantu be nkutumamu bakakanyavu era bakozi ba bibi. Bategeeze nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti,’
and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.
5 Oba banaawuliriza oba tebaawulirize, kubanga nnyumba njeemu, balimanya nga mu bo musituseemu nnabbi.
And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall they know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6 Kaakano ggwe omwana w’omuntu, tobatya newaakubadde ebigambo bye banaayogera, newaakubadde emyeramannyo n’amaggwa nga bikwetoolodde, era ng’obeera wakati mu njaba ez’obusagwa. Totya bigambo bye banaayogera newaakubadde okutekemuka kubanga nnyumba njeemu.
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for they are a rebellious house.
7 Oteekwa okubategeeza ebigambo byange, oba banaawuliriza oba tebaawulirize, kubanga bajeemu.
And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.
8 Naye ggwe omwana w’omuntu wuliriza kye nkugamba. Tojeema ng’ennyumba eyo bwe yanjeemera. Yasamya akamwa ko olye bye nkuwa.”
And thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9 Awo ne ntunula, ne ndaba omukono nga gugoloddwa gye ndi, mu gwo nga mulimu omuzingo gw’ekitabo.
And I looked, and behold, a hand was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book therein.
10 N’agwanjuluriza mu maaso gange, munda nga muwandiikibbwamu ne kungulu nga kuwandiikibbwako ebigambo eby’okukungubaga n’okukuba ebiwoobe, n’okukaaba.
And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
