Ezeekyeri 25

1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Omwana w’omuntu, simba amaaso go eri abaana ba Amoni obawe obunnabbi.

“Son of man, face towards the Ammonites and prophesy against them.

3 Bagambe nti, ‘Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, kubanga mwakuba mu ngalo ne mwogera nti, “Otyo!” ku watukuvu wange bwe wayonooneka, n’ensi ya Isirayiri bwe yafuuka amatongo, ne ku bantu ba Yuda bwe baatwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse,

Tell the Ammonites to listen to the message from the Lord God, for this is what the Lord God says: Because you said, ‘Oh good!’ when my sanctuary was made unclean, when the country of Israel was turned into a wasteland, and when the people of Judah were taken into exile,

4 kyendiva mbawaayo eri abantu ab’Ebuvanjuba mube bantu baabwe ab’obwannanyini. Balikola olusiisira mu mmwe ne basiisira wakati mu mmwe, era balirya ebibala byammwe ne banywa n’amata gammwe.

this is why I will make you subject to the people of the East. They will make camp and set up their tents right where you live. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

5 Ndifuula Labba okubeera eddundiro ly’eŋŋamira ne Amoni ne mufuula ekifo endiga we ziwummulira. Olwo mulimanya nga nze Mukama.

I will make Rabbah a camel pasture, and Ammon a sheep-pen. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

6 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: kubanga wakuba mu ngalo, n’osambagala n’ebigere, n’osanyuka n’ettima lyonna ery’omutima gwo n’osekerera ensi ya Isirayiri,

For this is what the Lord God says: Because you clapped your hands and stamped your feet in a celebration of hate over what happened to Israel,

7 kyendiva nkugololerako omukono gwange era ndikuwaayo okuba omunyago eri amawanga. Ndikusalirako ddala ku mawanga era nkumalirewo ddala okuva mu nsi. Ndikuzikiriza, era olimanya nga nze Mukama.’”

this is why I will reach out and attack you, and hand you over to be looted by other nations. I will wipe you out so completely that you will no longer exist as a nation. I will destroy you, and then you will know that I am the Lord.

8 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Kubanga Mowaabu ne Seyiri baayogera nti, “Laba ennyumba ya Yuda efuuse ng’amawanga amalala gonna,”

This is what the Lord God says: Because the people of Moab and Seir said, ‘Look, the people of Judah are just like everybody else,’

9 kyendiva nswaza oluuyi olumu olwa Mowaabu okutandika n’ebibuga ebiri ku nsalo yaakyo, Besu Yesimosi, ne Baalu Myoni, ne Kiriyasayimu, ekitiibwa ky’ensi eyo.

that's why I will open Moab's border to attack, including Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, the country's famous cities.

10 Ndiwaayo abantu ab’e Mowaabu wamu n’abantu ab’e Amoni eri abantu ab’Ebuvanjuba mube bantu baabwe ab’obwannanyini, abantu ba Amoni balemenga okujjukirwanga mu mawanga,

I will hand Moab over to the people of the East for them to rule so that will no longer exist as a nation just like the Ammonites.

11 era ne Mowaabu ndimubonereza. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.’”

This is how I'm going to punish the Moabites, and they will know that I am the Lord.

12 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Kubanga Edomu yawoolera eggwanga ku nnyumba ya Yuda, bw’etyo n’esingibwa omusango olw’ekikolwa ekyo,

This is what the Lord God says: Because Edom committed serious sins by taking vicious revenge on the people of Judah,

13 Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Ndigololera ku Edomu omukono gwange, ne nzita abantu be n’ebisolo byabwe. Ndigisaanyaawo, n’abo abaliba mu Temani okutuuka e Dedani balifa ekitala.

this is why the Lord God says: I will reach out to attack Edom and destroy all its people and animals. I will turn it into a wasteland. All the way from Teman in the north to Dedan in the south they will die by the sword.

14 Ndiwoolera eggwanga ku Edomu nga nkozesa omukono gw’abantu bange Isirayiri, era balikola ku Edomu ng’obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi kyange bwe byenkana; balimanya okuwoolera eggwanga kwange bwe kwenkana, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”

I will take revenge on the Edomites through my people Israel. They will deal with the Edomites so that they experience my anger. Then they will know what my vengeance is like, declares the Lord God.

15 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ‘Kubanga Abafirisuuti beesasuza nga bawoolera eggwanga ne beesasuza n’ettima, ne banoonya okuzikiriza Yuda, n’obukambwe obw’edda,

This is what the Lord God says: Because the Philistines in their hatred repeatedly took revenge on Judah, trying to destroy the people,

16 Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Nnaatera okugololera omukono gwange ku Bafirisuuti, era nditta Abakeresi, n’abaliba basigaddewo ku mabbali g’ennyanja ndibazikiriza.

this is why the Lord God says: Watch out! I'm going to reach out to attack the Philistines, and I will wipe out the Kerethites and destroy those who are left along the coast.

17 Ndibawoolera eggwanga n’ebibonerezo eby’amaanyi eby’ekiruyi. Balimanya nga nze Mukama, bwe ndiwoolera eggwanga ku bo.’”

My revenge against them will be severe as I punish them in my anger. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when they experience my anger.”
