Ezeekyeri 22
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Omwana w’omuntu, olikisalira omusango? Olisalira omusango ekibuga ekiyiwa omusaayi? Kale mulumbe wakati mu bikolwa bye byonna eby’ekivve;
And you, son of man, will you judge the bloody city? yes, declare you to her all her iniquities.
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,
And you shall say, Thus says the Lord God: O city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time should come, and that forms devices against herself, to defile herself;
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.
in their blood which you have shed, you have transgressed; and in your devices which you have formed, you have polluted yourself; and you have brought near your days, and have brought on the time of your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all the countries,
5 Abali okumpi n’abali ewala balikukudaalira, ggwe ekibuga ekinyoomebwa era ekijjudde emivuyo.
to those near you, and to those far distant from you; and they shall mock you, [you that are] notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.
6 “‘Laba, buli mulangira wa Isirayiri bw’akozesa obuyinza bwe okuyiwa omusaayi.
Behold, the princes of the house of Israel have conspired in you each one with his kindred, that they might shed blood.
7 Bataata ne bamaama banyoomebwa, era n’abagenyi mu mmwe banyigirizibwa, era babonyaabonya bamulekwa ne bannamwandu.
In you they have reviled father and mother; and in you they have behaved unjustly towards the stranger: they have oppressed the orphan and widow.
8 Munyoomye ebintu byange ebitukuvu, ne mwonoona Ssabbiiti zange.
And they have set at nothing my holy things, and in you they have profaned my sabbaths.
9 Mu mmwe mulimu abantu abawaayiriza abaamalirira okuyiwa omusaayi, era mulimu n’abo abaliira ku nsozi, ne bakola eby’obugwagwa.
[There are] robbers in you, to shed blood in you; and in you they have eaten upon the mountains: they have wrought ungodliness in the midst of 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 they have uncovered the father's shame; and in you they have humbled her that was set apart for uncleanness.
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.
They have dealt unlawfully each one with his neighbour's wife; and each one in ungodliness has defiled his daughter-in-law: and in you they have humbled each one his sister, the daughter of his father.
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 they have received gifts to shed blood; they have received in you interest and usurious increase; and by oppression you have brought your wickedness to the full, and have forgotten me, says the Lord.
13 “‘Kale nno ndikuba mu ngalo olw’amagoba agatasaanidde ge mukoze n’omusaayi ogwayiyibwa wakati mu mmwe.
And if I shall strike my hand at [your iniquities] which you have accomplished, which you have wrought, and at your blood that has been shed in the midst of you,
14 Obuvumu bwo bulibeerera, oba emikono gyo giriba n’amaanyi olunaku lwe ndikubonereza? Nze Mukama nkyogedde, era ndikikola.
shall your heart endure? shall your hands be strong in the days which I bring upon you? I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
15 Ndibabunya mu mawanga ne mbasaasaanya mu nsi, era ndikomya obutali bulongoofu bwo.
And I will scatter you amongst the nations, and disperse you in the countries, and your uncleanness shall be removed out of you.
16 Bw’oliggwaamu ekitiibwa mu maaso g’amawanga, olimanya nga Nze Mukama.’”
And I will give heritages in you in the sight of the nations, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the Lord 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, behold, the house of Israel are all become to me [as it were] mixed with brass, and iron, and tin, and lead; they are mixed up in the midst of the silver.
19 Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, ‘Kubanga mwenna mufuuse masengere, kyendiva mbakuŋŋaanya ne mbateeka wakati mu Yerusaalemi.
Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God; Because you have become one mixture, therefore I will gather you into the midst 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 silver, and brass, and iron, and tin, and lead, are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow fire into it, that they may be melted: so will I take [you] in my wrath, and I will gather and melt you.
21 Ndibakuŋŋaanya, ne mbafukuta mu muliro ogw’ekiruyi kyange, ne musaanuukira munda mu kyo.
And I will blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof.
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 midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in the midst thereof; and you shall know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath upon you.
23 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nate, n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the Lord 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, say to her, You are the land that is not rained upon, neither has rain come upon you in the day of wrath;
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.
whose princes in the midst of her are as roaring lions seizing prey, devouring souls by oppression, and taking bribes; and your widows are multiplied in the midst of you.
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 also have set at nothing my law, and profaned my holy things: they have not distinguished between the holy and profane, nor have they distinguished between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.
27 Abakungu baakyo bali ng’emisege egitaagulataagula omuyiggo gwagyo; bayiwa omusaayi ne batta abantu okukola amagoba mu butali bwenkanya.
Her princes in the midst of her are as wolves ravening to shed blood, 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.
And her prophets that daub them shall fall, that see vanities, that prophesy falsehoods, saying, Thus says the Lord, 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.
That sorely oppress the people of the land with injustice, and commit robbery; oppressing the poor and needy, and not dealing justly with the stranger.
30 “Ne nnoonya omuntu mu bo ayinza okuzimba ekisenge era ayinza okubeeyimiririra mu maaso gange ku lw’ensi, naye ne siraba n’omu.
And I sought from amongst them a man behaving uprightly, and standing before me perfectly in the time of wrath, so that I should not utterly destroy her: but I found [him] not.
31 Kyendiva mbayiwako ekiruyi kyange, ne mbamalawo n’omuliro ogw’obusungu bwange, ne mbaleetako ebyo byonna bye baakola,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
So I have poured out my wrath upon her in the fury of mine anger, to accomplish [it]. I have recompensed their ways on their own heads, says the Lord God.
