Ezeekyeri 22
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Omwana w’omuntu, olikisalira omusango? Olisalira omusango ekibuga ekiyiwa omusaayi? Kale mulumbe wakati mu bikolwa bye byonna eby’ekivve;
“You, son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 mugambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ggwe ekibuga ekittira abantu mu kyo era ekyeyonoonesa olwa bakatonda abalala be beekolera, weeleeseeko wekka ekivume,
You shall say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “A city that sheds blood within herself, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
4 era osingiddwa olw’omusaayi gw’oyiye era weeyonoonyesezza olwa bakatonda abalala be weekolera. Ennaku zo ozikomekkerezza, enkomerero ye myaka gyo etuuse. Kyendiva nkuswaza eri amawanga, n’ofuuka eky’okusekererwa eri ensi zonna.
You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made! You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5 Abali okumpi n’abali ewala balikukudaalira, ggwe ekibuga ekinyoomebwa era ekijjudde emivuyo.
Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you, you infamous one, full of tumult.
6 “‘Laba, buli mulangira wa Isirayiri bw’akozesa obuyinza bwe okuyiwa omusaayi.
“‘“Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
7 Bataata ne bamaama banyoomebwa, era n’abagenyi mu mmwe banyigirizibwa, era babonyaabonya bamulekwa ne bannamwandu.
In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Among you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8 Munyoomye ebintu byange ebitukuvu, ne mwonoona Ssabbiiti zange.
You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
9 Mu mmwe mulimu abantu abawaayiriza abaamalirira okuyiwa omusaayi, era mulimu n’abo abaliira ku nsozi, ne bakola eby’obugwagwa.
Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood. In you they have eaten on the mountains. They have committed lewdness among you.
10 Era mu mmwe mulimu abajerega obwereere bwa bakitaabwe, era mulimu n’abo abeebaka n’abakazi abali mu nsonga zaabwe ez’abakazi nga si balongoofu.
In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness. In you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
11 Mu mmwe mulimu omusajja akola ebibi eby’obwenzi ne muka muliraanwa we, omulala n’ayonoonyesa muka mwana mu buswavu, ate omulala n’akwata mwannyina muwala wa kitaawe.
One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law. Another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
12 Mu mmwe mulimu abantu abalya enguzi okuyiwa omusaayi, ne basolooza amagoba agasukkiridde ne bafuna ekisukkiridde okuva ku baliraanwa baabwe mu ngeri ey’obukumpanya, era munneerabidde, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord GOD.
13 “‘Kale nno ndikuba mu ngalo olw’amagoba agatasaanidde ge mukoze n’omusaayi ogwayiyibwa wakati mu mmwe.
“‘“Behold, therefore I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at the blood which has been shed within you.
14 Obuvumu bwo bulibeerera, oba emikono gyo giriba n’amaanyi olunaku lwe ndikubonereza? Nze Mukama nkyogedde, era ndikikola.
Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I will deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 Ndibabunya mu mawanga ne mbasaasaanya mu nsi, era ndikomya obutali bulongoofu bwo.
I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries. I will purge your filthiness out of you.
16 Bw’oliggwaamu ekitiibwa mu maaso g’amawanga, olimanya nga Nze Mukama.’”
You will be profaned in yourself in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”
17 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
18 “Omwana w’omuntu, ennyumba ya Isirayiri efuuse amasengere gye ndi; bonna bali ng’ebikomo, masasi, n’ebyuma ebisigalira wansi mu kikoomi ky’ekyokero. Bali ng’amasengere ga ffeeza.
“Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are bronze, tin, iron, and lead in the middle of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
19 Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, ‘Kubanga mwenna mufuuse masengere, kyendiva mbakuŋŋaanya ne mbateeka wakati mu Yerusaalemi.
Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the middle of Jerusalem.
20 Ng’omuntu bw’okuŋŋaanya effeeza, n’ebikomo, n’ebyuma, n’amasasi mu kyokero okubisaanuusa n’omuliro ogw’amaanyi, nange bwe ntyo bwe ndibakuŋŋaanya nga ndiko obusungu n’ekiruyi, ne mbateeka mu kibuga ne mbasaanuusa.
As they gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the middle of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there and melt you.
21 Ndibakuŋŋaanya, ne mbafukuta mu muliro ogw’ekiruyi kyange, ne musaanuukira munda mu kyo.
Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you will be melted in the middle of it.
22 Era ng’effeeza bw’esaanuusibwa mu kyokero, nammwe bwe mutyo bwe mulisaanuusibwa munda mu kyo, era mulimanya nga Nze Mukama mbafuseeko ekiruyi kyange.’”
As silver is melted in the middle of the furnace, so you will be melted in the middle of it; and you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my wrath on you.’”
23 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nate, n’aŋŋamba nti,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
24 “Omwana w’omuntu, yogera eri ensi nti, ‘Ggwe oli nsi eteri nongoose, era etetonnyebwako nkuba ku lunaku olw’ekiruyi.’
“Son of man, tell her, ‘You are a land that is not cleansed nor rained on in the day of indignation.’
25 Bannabbi b’ensi balina enkwe, bali ng’empologoma ewuluguma etaagulataagula omuyiggo gwayo; bavaabira abantu, ne batwala eby’obugagga n’ebintu eby’omuwendo, ne bafuula abakazi bangi mu kyo okuba bannamwandu.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it.
26 Bakabona baakyo bajeemedde amateeka gange era boonoonye ebintu byange ebitukuvu; tebaawuddeemu bitukuvu na bya bulijjo; bayigiriza nti tewali njawulo wakati wa bitali birongoofu n’ebirongoofu, so tebassaayo mwoyo okukuuma Ssabbiiti zange, ne banswaza Nze mu bo.
Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths. So I am profaned among them.
27 Abakungu baakyo bali ng’emisege egitaagulataagula omuyiggo gwagyo; bayiwa omusaayi ne batta abantu okukola amagoba mu butali bwenkanya.
Her princes within it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
28 Bannabbi baakyo bakkiriza ebikolwa ebyo, nga babalimba n’okwolesebwa okukyamu n’okuwa obunnabbi obw’obulimba, nga boogera nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda,’ so nga Mukama tayogedde.
Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
29 Abantu ab’omu nsi bakola eby’obukumpanya ne babba; banyigiriza omwavu ne babonyaabonya ne munnaggwanga ne batabasalira musango mu bwenkanya.
The people of the land have used oppression and exercised robbery. Yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.
30 “Ne nnoonya omuntu mu bo ayinza okuzimba ekisenge era ayinza okubeeyimiririra mu maaso gange ku lw’ensi, naye ne siraba n’omu.
“I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.
31 Kyendiva mbayiwako ekiruyi kyange, ne mbamalawo n’omuliro ogw’obusungu bwange, ne mbaleetako ebyo byonna bye baakola,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Therefore I have poured out my indignation on them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way on their heads,” says the Lord GOD.
