Ezeekyeri 25
1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
[Some time later, ] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
2 “Omwana w’omuntu, simba amaaso go eri abaana ba Amoni obawe obunnabbi.
“You human, turn toward where the Ammon people- [lives], and prophesy [what will happen to] 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,
Say about them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “You shouted joyfully when my [in Jerusalem] was destroyed, and when the country/land of Israel was ruined, and when the people of Judah were (exiled/forced to go) [to Babylonia].
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.
Therefore, I am going to allow you to be conquered by people [who will come] from the east. They will set up their tents in your country and live there. And they will eat the fruit from [fruit trees] and drink the [from your cattle].
5 Ndifuula Labba okubeera eddundiro ly’eŋŋamira ne Amoni ne mufuula ekifo endiga we ziwummulira. Olwo mulimanya nga nze Mukama.
I will [your capital city] Rabbah to become a pasture for camels, and the rest of Ammon to [only] a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
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,
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “You clapped your [joyfully] and stomped your feet, and laughed because you despised [the people in] the land of 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.’”
Therefore, I will use my power [MTY] against you, and I will enable [other] nations [conquer you and] take away your valuable possessions. I will destroy you completely [DOU], with the result that you no longer will be a nation. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
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 [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[The people of] [south of Ammon] and [the people of] [south of Moab despised Israel and] said, ‘The people [MTY] of Israel have [as unimportant] as all the other nations!’
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.
Therefore, I will destroy the cities that protect the borders of Moab, starting at Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim, the finest cities in Moab.
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 enable people from the east to conquer Moab and also to conquer Ammon. As a result, [I will cause that] Ammon will no longer be remembered by other nations.
11 era ne Mowaabu ndimubonereza. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.’”
I will also punish [the people of] Moab. When that happens, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
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 [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[You people of] Edom are guilty of getting revenge on the people [MTY] 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.
Therefore this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will use my power against [the people of] Edom and will get rid of their men and their animals. I will ruin the land from Teman [region in central Edom] to Dedan [region in the south of Edom], and many of their men will be killed [their enemies] swords.'
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.’”
The Israeli people will use their power [MTY] to get revenge on [the people of] Edom. They will show [the people of] Edom that I have been angry with them, and I will punish [MTY] them. The people of Edom will experience my getting revenge on them. Then they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
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 [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “The Philistia people-group wanted very much to get revenge [on the people of Judah]. They very maliciously wanted to destroy [Judah].
16 Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Nnaatera okugololera omukono gwange ku Bafirisuuti, era nditta Abakeresi, n’abaliba basigaddewo ku mabbali g’ennyanja ndibazikiriza.
Therefore this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I am about to use my power [MTY] against the Philistia people. I will get rid of the Kereth people-group and all [those who live along] the coast of the [Mediterranean] Sea.
17 Ndibawoolera eggwanga n’ebibonerezo eby’amaanyi eby’ekiruyi. Balimanya nga nze Mukama, bwe ndiwoolera eggwanga ku bo.’”
By the way I punish them, I will get great revenge on them and show that I am angry with them. And when I get revenge on them, they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”
