< Ezeekyeri 3 >
1 Awo n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, lya ekiri mu maaso go, lya omuzingo gw’empapula guno; oluvannyuma ogende oyogere eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri.”
Moreover he saide vnto me, Sonne of man, eate that thou findest: eate this roule, and goe, and speake vnto the house of Israel.
2 Ne njasama, n’ampa omuzingo gw’empapula ne ngulya.
So I opened my mouth, and he gaue mee this roule to eate.
3 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, lya omuzingo gw’empapula gwe nkuwa, ojjuze olubuto lwo.” Ne ngulya, ne guwoomerera ng’omubisi gw’enjuki.
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, cause thy belly to eate, and fill thy bowels with this roule that I giue thee. Then did I eate it, and it was in my mouth as sweete as honie.
4 Oluvannyuma n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, kaakano laga eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri oyogere ebigambo byange gye bali.
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, goe, and enter into the house of Israel, and declare them my wordes.
5 Sikutuma eri eggwanga eririna enjogera etategeerekeka era abalina olulimi oluzibu, b’otayinza kutegeera mu njogera, naye eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri,
For thou art not sent to a people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an hard language, but to the house of Israel,
6 so si eri abantu abangi abalina enjogera etategeerekeka era abalina olulimi oluzibu, b’otayinza kutegeera bye bagamba. Mazima singa nakutuma gye bali, bandikuwulirizza.
Not to many people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an harde language, whose wordes thou canst not vnderstand: yet if I should sende thee to them, they would obey thee.
7 Naye ennyumba ya Isirayiri si beetegefu kukuwuliriza kubanga si beetegefu kumpuliriza; era ennyumba ya Isirayiri yonna balina ekyenyi kikalubo n’emitima mikakanyavu.
But the house of Israel will not obey thee: for they will not obey me: yea, all the house of Israel are impudent and stiffe hearted.
8 Naye naawe ndikufuula omukalubo era omukakanyavu mu mutima nga bo.
Beholde, I haue made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead harde against their foreheads.
9 Ndifuula ekyenyi kyo okuba ng’ejjinja erikaluba ennyo, erikaluba ng’ejjinja ery’embaalebaale. Tobatya so totiisibwatiisibwa, newaakubadde nga nnyumba njeemu.”
I haue made thy forehead as the adamant, and harder then the flint: feare them not therefore, neither be afraid at their lookes: for they are a rebellious house.
10 N’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, wuliriza bulungi era okwate ebigambo byonna bye njogera naawe.
He said moreouer vnto me, Sonne of man, receiue in thine heart al my words that I speake vnto thee, and heare them with thine eares,
11 Genda kaakano eri abantu bo, mu buwaŋŋanguse, oyogere nabo. Bagambe nti, Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, obanga banaawulira, obanga tebaawulire.”
And goe and enter to them that are led away captiues vnto the children of thy people, and speake vnto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease.
12 Awo Omwoyo n’ansitula, ne mpulira emabega wange eddoboozi ng’okuwuluguma okunene nga lyogera nti, “Ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyebazibwe mu kifo gy’abeera.”
Then the spirite tooke me vp, and I heard behinde me a noise of a great russhing, saying, Blessed be ye glorie of the Lord out of his place.
13 Okuwuuma okw’ebiwaawaatiro by’ebiramu nga bikuubagana, n’okuwuuma kwa zinnamuziga ku mabbali gaabyo kwali ng’okuwuluguma okw’amaanyi.
I heard also the noyse of the wings of the beasts, that touched one another, and the ratling of the wheeles that were by them, euen a noyse of a great russhing.
14 Omwoyo n’ansitula n’antwala, ne ŋŋendera mu buyinike ne mu busungu, ng’omukono gwa Mukama ogw’amaanyi guli ku nze.
So the spirit lift me vp, and tooke me away and I went in bitternesse, and indignation of my spirite, but the hand of the Lord was strong vpon me.
15 Ne ntuuka mu kifo ekimu awaali abawaŋŋanguse e Terabibu ku mugga Kebali, ne ntuula mu bo okumala ennaku musanvu, nga nsamaaliridde.
Then I came to them that were led away captiues to Tel-abib, that dwelt by the riuer Chebar, and I sate where they sate, and remained there astonished among them seuen dayes.
16 Oluvannyuma lw’ennaku omusanvu ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira:
And at the ende of seuen dayes, the worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
17 “Omwana w’omuntu, nkufudde omukuumi w’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, era buli lw’onoowuliranga ekigambo kye nnaayogeranga, balabulenga.
Sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore heare the worde at my mouth, and giue them warning from me.
18 Bwe ŋŋamba atali mutuukirivu nti, ‘Mazima tolirema kufa,’ n’otamulabula newaakubadde okwogera naye ng’omulabula alekeyo engeri ze ezitali za butuukirivu asobole okuwonya obulamu bwe, omuntu oyo atali mutuukirivu alifa olw’obutali butuukirivu bwe, naye omusaayi gwe ndiguvunaana ggwe.
When I shall say vnto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die, and thou giuest not him warning, nor speakest to admonish the wicked of his wicked way, that he may liue, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquitie: but his blood will I require at thine hande.
19 Naye bw’olirabula omuntu atali mutuukirivu, n’atalekaayo obutali butuukirivu, newaakubadde engeri ze embi, alifa olw’ekibi kye, naye obulamu bwo bulilokolebwa.
Yet if thou warne the wicked, and he turne not from his wickednesse, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquitie, but thou hast deliuered thy soule.
20 “Ate era bw’alireka ebikolwa bye eby’obutuukirivu n’akola ebibi, ne nteeka enkonge mu maaso ge, alifa. Olw’okubanga tewamulabula, alifa olw’ekibi kye. Ebikolwa eby’obutuukirivu bye yakola tebirijjukirwa, era ndikuvunaana olw’omusaayi gwe.
Likewise if a righteous man turne from his righteousnesse, and commit iniquitie, I will lay a stumbling blocke before him, and he shall die, because thou hast not giuen him warning: he shall die in his sinne, and his righteous deedes, which he hath done, shall not be remembred: but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Kyokka bw’olabulanga omutuukirivu obutayonoona, n’atayonoona, ddala ddala aliba mulamu kubanga yawulira okulabula kwo, era naawe oliba weerokodde.”
Neuerthelesse, if thou admonish that righteous man, that the righteous sinne not, and that he doeth not sinne, he shall liue because he is admonished: also thou hast deliuered thy soule.
22 Omukono gwa Mukama gw’andiko eyo, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Golokoka olage ku ttale, era eyo gye nnaayogerera naawe.”
And the hande of the Lord was there vpon me, and he said vnto me, Arise, and goe into the fielde, and I will there talke with thee.
23 Ne nsituka ne ndaga ku ttale. Ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyaliwo, nga kifaanana ekitiibwa kye nalaba ku Mugga Kebali; ne neeyala wansi.
So when I had risen vp, and gone foorth into the fielde, beholde, the glorie of the Lord stoode there, as the glorie which I sawe by the riuer Chebar, and I fell downe vpon my face.
24 Awo Omwoyo n’anzikako, n’annyimusa okuva we nnali, n’aŋŋamba nti, “Genda weggalire mu nnyumba yo.
Then the Spirit entred into me, which set me vp vpon my feete, and spake vnto me, and said to me, Come, and shut thy selfe within thine house.
25 Ggwe omwana w’omuntu balikusiba emiguwa, n’olemwa okugenda okulaba abantu bo.
But thou, O sonne of man, beholde, they shall put bandes vpon thee, and shall binde thee with them, and thou shalt not goe out among them.
26 Ndiziba akamwa ko, n’osirikira ddala, n’olema okubanenya, newaakubadde nga nnyumba njeemu.
And I will make thy tongue cleaue to the roofe of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dume, and shalt not be to them as a man that rebuketh: for they are a rebellious house.
27 Kyokka bwe ndyogera gy’oli, ndizibula akamwa ko era olibagamba nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Ayinzabyonna.’ Aliwuliriza kale aliwuliriza, n’oyo aligaana okuwuliriza naye muleke agaane okuwuliriza; nnyumba njeemu.”
But when I shall haue spoken vnto thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, He that heareth, let him heare, and he that leaueth off, let him leaue: for they are a rebellious house.
