Ezeekyeri 28
1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Omwana w’omuntu, gamba omufuzi w’e Ttuulo nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kubanga olina amalala mu mutima gwo kyova oyogera nti, ‘Ndi katonda, era ntuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka eya Katonda wakati mu nnyanja,’ songa oli muntu buntu, so si katonda, newaakubadde ng’olowooza nga oli mugezi nga katonda.
Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am God, and I sit in the chair of God in the heart of the sea: whereas thou art a man, and not God: and hast set thy heart as if it were the heart of God.
3 Oli mugezi okusinga Danyeri? Tewali kyama kikukwekeddwa?
Behold thou art wiser than Daniel: no secret is hid from thee.
4 Mu magezi go ne mu kutegeera kwo weefunidde eby’obugagga, n’okuŋŋaanya ezaabu n’effeeza n’obitereka mu mawanika go.
In thy wisdom and thy understanding thou hast made thyself strong: and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures.
5 Olw’obukujjukujju bwo mu by’obusuubuzi oyongedde okugaggawala, era n’omutima gwo gwenyumiririza mu byobugagga bwo.”
By the greatness of thy wisdom, and by thy traffic thou hast increased thy strength: and thy heart is lifted up with thy strength.
6 Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, “Kubanga olowooza ng’oli mugezi, ng’oli mugezi nga katonda,
Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up as the heart of God:
7 kyendiva nkuleetera bannaggwanga ne bakulumba, ab’omu mawanga agasinga obukambwe, ne basowola ebitala byabwe eri obulungi n’amagezi go, ne boonoona okumasamasa kwo.
Therefore behold, I will bring upon thee strangers the strongest of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy beauty.
8 Balikusuula mu bunnya n’ofiira eyo okufa okubi wakati mu gayanja.
They shall kill thee, and bring thee down: and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain in the heart of the sea.
9 Olyogera nate nti, ‘Ndi katonda,’ mu maaso gaabo abakutta? Oliba muntu buntu so si katonda mu mikono gy’abo abakutta.
Wilt thou yet say before them that slay thee: I am God; whereas thou art a man, and not God, in the hand of them that slay thee?
10 Olifa okufa okw’abatali bakomole, mu mikono gya bannaggwanga, nze nkyogedde, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
11 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre:
12 “Omwana w’omuntu kungubagira kabaka w’e Ttuulo, omutegeeze nti, Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ggwe wali ekyokulabirako ekituukiridde ng’ojjudde amagezi era nga watuukirira mu bulungi.
And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Thou wast the seal of resemblance, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Wali mu Adeni, ennimiro ya Katonda; buli jjinja ery’omuwendo nga likubikako, sadio, topazi, alimasi, berulo, onuku, yasipero, safiro, ejjinja erya nnawandagala. Okuteekebwateekebwa kwo n’ebikunyweza byakolebwa mu zaabu. Era ku lunaku lwe watondebwa, byategekebwa.
Thou wast in the pleasures of the paradise of God: every precious stone teas thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the jasper, the chrysolite, and the onyx, and the beryl, the sapphire, and the carbuncle, and the emerald: gold the work of thy beauty: and thy pipes were prepared in the day that thou wast created.
14 Wali kerubi omukuumi eyafukibwako amafuta, nakwawula lwa nsonga eyo. Wabeeranga ku lusozi olutukuvu olwa Katonda, n’otambulira wakati mu mayinja ag’omuliro.
Thou a cherub stretched out, and protecting, and I set thee in the holy mountain of God, thou hast walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Tewaliiko kya kunenyezebwa kyonna okuva ku lunaku lwe watondebwa, okutuusa obutali butuukirivu bwe bwalabika mu ggwe.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day of thy creation, until iniquity was found in thee.
16 Mu bikolwa byo ebingi, wajjula empisa embi, era n’okola ebibi. Kyennava nkugoba ku lusozi lwa Katonda, mu buswavu obungi ne nkugoba ggwe kerubi eyakuumanga okuva mu mayinja ag’omuliro.
By the multitude of thy merchandise, thy inner parts were filled with iniquity, and thou hast sinned: and I cast thee out from the mountain of God, and destroyed thee, O covering cherub, out of the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Omutima gwo gwalina amalala olw’obulungi bwo, ne weelimbalimba olw’ekitiibwa kyo. Kyennava nkukanyuga ku nsi ne nkufuula eky’okusekererwa mu maaso ga bakabaka.
And thy heart was lifted up with thy beauty: thou best lost thy wisdom in thy beauty, I have cast thee to the ground: I have set thee before the face of kings, that they might behold thee.
18 Olw’ebibi byo ebingi n’olw’obukumpanya bwo oyonoonye ebifo byo ebitukuvu. Kyenava nziggya omuliro mu ggwe ne gukusaanyaawo, ne nkufuula evvu ku nsi wakati mu abo bonna abaakulabanga.
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thy iniquities, and by the iniquity of thy traffic: therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, to devour thee, and I will make thee as ashes upon the earth in the sight of all that see thee.
19 Amawanga gonna agaakumanya gaatya nnyo; otuuse ku nkomerero embi, so tolibeerawo nate ennaku zonna.’”
All that shall see thee among the nations, shall be astonished at thee: thou art brought to nothing, and thou shalt never be any more.
20 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira, n’aŋŋamba nti,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 “Omwana w’omuntu kyuka otunuulire Sidoni, obawe obunnabbi,
Son of man, set thy face against Sidon: and thou shalt prophesy of it,
22 oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Nkulinako ensonga, ggwe Sidoni, era ndyegulumiza mu ggwe. Balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndimubonereza, ne neeraga mu ye okuba omutukuvu.
And shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall execute judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
23 Ndiweereza kawumpuli ku ye, era ndikulukusa omusaayi mu nguudo ze. Abafu baligwa wakati mu ye, ekitala kimulumbe enjuuyi zonna. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.
And I will send into her pestilence, and blood in her streets: and they shall fall being slain by the sword on all sides in the midst thereof: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 “‘Tewalibaawo nate eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri omweramannyo ogufumita newaakubadde eriggwa eribafumita okuva mu baliraanwa abalina ettima. Era balimanya nga nze Katonda Ayinzabyonna.
And the house of Israel shall have no more a stumblingblock of bitterness, nor a thorn causing pain on every side round about them, of them that are against them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God.
25 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Bwe ndikuŋŋaanya abantu ba Isirayiri okubaggya mu mawanga gye baasaasaanyizibwa, nditukuzibwa mu bo mu maaso g’amawanga, era balituula mu nsi eyaabwe gye nawa omuddu wange Yakobo.
Thus saith the Lord God: When I shall have gathered together the house of Israel out of the people among whom they are scattered: I will be sanctified in them before the Gentiles: and they shall dwell in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Balituula omwo mirembe, era balizimba amayumba ne basimba n’ennimiro ez’emizabbibu. Bwe ndibonereza baliraanwa baabwe bonna abaabayisa obubi, bo baliba batudde mirembe. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda waabwe.’”
And they shall dwell therein secure, and they shall build houses, and shall plant vineyards, and shall dwell with confidence, when I shall have executed judgments upon all that are their enemies round about: and they shall know that I am the Lord their God.
