Ezeekyeri 29
1 Awo mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi, mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ebbiri, ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Omwana w’omuntu, tunula eri Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri olangirire obunnabbi gy’ali n’eri Misiri yonna.
Son of man, set thy face against Pharao king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt:
3 Yogera gy’ali nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Nkulinako ensonga, Falaawo, ggwe kabaka w’e Misiri, ggwe ogusota ogunene ogugalamidde wakati mu migga gyagwo, ogwogera nti, “Kiyira wange, era nze nnamwekolera.”
and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharao, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
4 Nditeeka amalobo mu mba zo, era ndireetera n’ebyennyanja eby’omu migga gyo okukwatira ku magamba go. Ndikusikayo mu migga gyo ng’ebyennyanja byonna bikwatidde ku magamba go.
And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy river to stick to thy sides, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy river:
5 Ndikutwala mu ddungu, ggwe n’ebyennyanja byonna eby’omu migga gyo. Oligwa ku ttale, so tolikuŋŋaanyizibwa newaakubadde okulondebwalondebwa. Ndikuwaayo okuba emmere eri ensolo enkambwe ez’oku nsi n’eri ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga.
and I will quickly cast down thee and all the fish of thy river: thou shalt fall on the face of the plain, and shalt by no means be gathered, and shalt not be brought together: I have given thee for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.
6 Awo bonna ababeera mu Misiri balimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda. “‘Obadde muggo gwa lumuli eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because thou hast been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Bwe bakunyweza n’emikono gyabwe, n’omenyekamenyeka, n’oyuza ebibegabega byabwe; bwe baakwesigamako, n’omenyeka, era n’okutula n’emigongo gyabwe.
When they took hold of thee with their hand, thou didst break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on thee, thou wast utterly broken, and didst crush the loins of them all.
8 “‘Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti: Ndikujjira n’ekitala, n’enzita abantu bo n’ebisolo byabwe.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast;
9 Ensi ey’e Misiri erifuuka matongo era ensiko, balyoke bamanye nga nze Mukama Katonda. “‘Kubanga wayogera nti, “Kiyira wange, nze namukola,”
and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because thou sayest, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
10 kyennaava mbeera n’ensonga eri ggwe n’eri emigga gyo, era ndifuula ensi ey’e Misiri okuba ensiko enjereere ejjudde amatongo okuva ku mulongooti ogw’e Sevene okutuuka ku nsalo ey’e Buwesiyopya.
Therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against all thy rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.
11 Tewaliba kigere kya muntu newaakubadde ky’ensolo ekiri giyitamu, so teribeerwamu okumala emyaka amakumi ana.
No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for forty years.
12 Ndifuula ensi ey’e Misiri okuba amatongo wakati mu nsi ezaazika, era n’ebibuga byakyo biriba byereere okumala emyaka amakumi ana. Ndibunya Abamisiri mu mawanga ne mbataataanyiza mu nsi nnyingi.
And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be [desolate] forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries.
13 “‘Naye Mukama Katonda agamba nti; Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka amakumi ana ndikuŋŋaanya Abamisiri okuva mu mawanga gye baasaasaanira,
Thus saith the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations among whom they have been scattered;
14 era ndibakomyawo okuva mu busibe ne mbazza mu nsi ey’e Pasulo, ensi eya bajjajjaabwe, era eyo baliba bwakabaka obwajeezebwa.
and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;
15 Bulisinga obwakaba bwonna okujeezebwa, so tebulyegulumiza nate okusinga amawanga amalala. Ndiginafuyiza ddala, era tebalifuga nate amawanga.
and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all [other] kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be [great] among the nations.
16 Misiri talyesigibwa nate abantu ba Isirayiri, naye eriba kijjukizo eky’ekibi kubanga baabakyukira nga banoonya okuyambibwa. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda.’”
And they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Awo mu mwaka ogw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu, mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye ku lunaku olusooka mu mwezi, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 “Omwana w’omuntu, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni yaweereza eggye lye ne lirumba Ttuulo, buli mutwe ne gufuna ekiwalaata ne buli kibegabega ne kimenyebwa, naye ye n’eggye lye ne bataweebwa mpeera olw’okulumba Ttuulo.
Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army [serving] against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they served against it.
19 Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni ndimuwa Misiri ne yeetikka obugagga bwe, n’abanyagira ddala era y’eriba empeera ey’eggye lye.
Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I [will] give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and [it] shall be a reward for his army.
20 Mmuwadde ensi ey’e Misiri okuba empeera ye gye yafubirira kubanga ye n’eggye lye bankolera omulimu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus saith the Lord God:
21 “Ku lunaku olwo ndiyimusa ejjembe ery’amaanyi mu nnyumba ya Isirayiri, era ndiyasamya akamwa ko mu bo. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.”
In that day shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
