Ezeekyeri 2
1 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, yimirira njogere naawe.”
He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you."
2 Awo bwe yali ng’akyayogera nange, Omwoyo nanzikako n’annyimusa, ne mpulira ng’ayogera nange.
The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to 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.
He said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the house of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
4 Abantu be nkutumamu bakakanyavu era bakozi ba bibi. Bategeeze nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti,’
The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah.'
5 Oba banaawuliriza oba tebaawulirize, kubanga nnyumba njeemu, balimanya nga mu bo musituseemu nnabbi.
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has 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.
You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7 Oteekwa okubategeeza ebigambo byange, oba banaawuliriza oba tebaawulirize, kubanga bajeemu.
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
8 Naye ggwe omwana w’omuntu wuliriza kye nkugamba. Tojeema ng’ennyumba eyo bwe yanjeemera. Yasamya akamwa ko olye bye nkuwa.”
But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you."
9 Awo ne ntunula, ne ndaba omukono nga gugoloddwa gye ndi, mu gwo nga mulimu omuzingo gw’ekitabo.
When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.
10 N’agwanjuluriza mu maaso gange, munda nga muwandiikibbwamu ne kungulu nga kuwandiikibbwako ebigambo eby’okukungubaga n’okukuba ebiwoobe, n’okukaaba.
He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
