Ezeekyeri 30
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, wa obunnabbi oyogere nti: ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Mwekaabireko mwogere nti, “Zibasanze ku lunaku olwo”
“Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Wail: ‘Woe, woe to the day!’
3 kubanga olunaku luli kumpi, olunaku lwa Mukama luli kumpi, olunaku olw’ebire eri bannaggwanga.
For the day is near, and the day of the Lord is approaching! It is a day of gloom; it will be the time of the Gentiles.
4 Ekitala kirirumba Misiri, n’ennaku eribeera mu Buwesiyopya. Bwe balifiira mu Misiri, obugagga bwe bulitwalibwa n’emisingi gyayo girimenyebwa.’
And the sword will come to Egypt. And there will be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded will have fallen in Egypt, and its multitude will have been taken away, and its foundations will have been destroyed.
5 Obuwesiyopya, ne Puuti, ne Luudi ne Buwalabu yonna, ne Kubu n’abantu bonna ab’ensi ey’endagaano balittibwa ekitala awamu ne Misiri.
Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the common people, and Chub, and the sons of the land of the covenant, will fall with them by the sword.
6 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “‘Abawagira Misiri baligwa, n’amaanyi ge yeewaana nago galimuggwa. Okuva ku mulongooti ogw’e Sevene baligwa n’ekitala, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Thus says the Lord God: And those who prop up Egypt will fall, and the arrogance of its reign will be brought down. They will fall in it by the sword, before the tower of Syene, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
7 Balirekebwawo wakati mu nsi endala ezalekebwawo, n’ebibuga byabwe biribeera ebimu ku ebyo ebyasaanawo.
And they will be scattered into the midst of desolate lands, and its cities will be in the midst of cities that have been deserted.
8 Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndikuma ku Misiri omuliro, n’ababeezi baayo bonna balibetentebwa.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have brought a fire into Egypt, and when all its helpers will have been worn away.
9 “‘Ku lunaku olwo ndiweereza ababaka mu byombo okutiisatiisa Obuwesiyopya buve mu bugayaavu bwabwo. Entiisa eribakwata ku lunaku Misiri lwe linakuwala, kubanga entiisa erina okujja.
In that day, messengers will go forth from my face in Greek warships, in order to crush the confidence of Ethiopia. And there will be dread among them in the day of Egypt; for without doubt, it will happen.
10 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ndimalawo ebibinja by’Abamisiri nga nkozesa omukono gwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni.
Thus says the Lord God: By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, I will cause the multitude of Egypt to cease.
11 Ye n’eggye lye, ensi esinga okuba enkambwe mu mawanga, balireetebwa okuzikiriza ensi. Baligyayo ebitala byabwe ne bajjuza ensi ey’e Misiri emirambo.
He, and his people with him, the strongest of the Gentiles, will be brought forth in order to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords over Egypt. And they will fill the land with the slain.
12 Ndikaza emigga gya Kiyira, ne ntunda ensi eri abantu ababi; nga nkozesa bannaggwanga, ndizikiriza ensi na buli kintu ekigirimu. Nze Mukama nkyogedde.
And I will cause the channels of the rivers to dry up. And I will deliver the land into the hand of the most wicked. And by the hands of foreigners, I will utterly destroy the land and its plenitude. I, the Lord, have spoken.
13 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ndizikiriza bakatonda baabwe ne nzikiriza bakatonda abakole n’emikono mu Noofu. Temulibaamu mulangira mu nsi ey’e Misiri nate, era ensi yonna ndigireetako entiisa.
Thus says the Lord God: And I will destroy the graven images, and I will cause the idols of Memphis to cease. And there will no longer be a commander of the land of Egypt. And I will send terror upon the land of Egypt.
14 Ndifuula Pasulo okuba amatongo, ne Zowani ndikikumako omuliro ne mbonereza n’ab’omu No.
And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and I will send a fire upon Tahpanhes, and I will execute judgments in Alexandria.
15 Ndifuka ekiruyi kyange ku Sini, ekigo kya Misiri eky’amaanyi, era ndimalawo n’ebibinja bya No.
And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I will kill the multitude of Alexandria.
16 Ndikuma omuliro ku Misiri, ne Sini baliba mu bubalagaze bungi, ne No balitwalibwa omuyaga, ne Noofu baliba mu kubonaabona okw’olubeerera.
And I will send a fire upon Egypt. Pelusium will be in pain, like a woman giving birth. And Alexandria will be utterly destroyed. And in Memphis, there will be anguish every day.
17 Abavubuka ab’e Oni n’ab’e Pibesesi baligwa n’ekitala, n’ebibuga biriwambibwa.
The young men of Heliopolis and Pibeseth will fall by the sword, and the young women will be led into captivity.
18 Enzikiza eriba ku Tapaneese emisana, bwe ndimenya ekikoligo kya Misiri, era n’amaanyi ge yeewaana nago galimuggwaamu. Alibikkibwa n’ebire era n’ebyalo bye biriwambibwa.
And in Tahpanhes, the day will grow black, when, in that place, I will break the scepters of Egypt. And the arrogance of her authority will fail within her; a gloom will cover her. Then her daughters will be led into captivity.
19 Bwe ntyo bwe ndibonereza Misiri, bategeere nga nze Mukama.’”
And I will execute judgments in Egypt. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
20 Awo mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu, mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye ku lunaku olw’omusanvu, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
21 “Omwana w’omuntu, mmenye omukono gwa Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri, era laba tegusibiddwa okusiigako eddagala, n’okugussaako ekiwero okugusiba, guleme okufuna amaanyi okukwata ekitala.
“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And behold, it has not been wrapped, so that it might be restored to health; it has not been bound with cloths, or bandaged with linen, so that, having recovered strength, it would be able to hold the sword.
22 Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Nnina ensonga ne Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri, era ndimenya emikono gye, omulamu ogw’amaanyi n’ogwo ogwamenyekako, ne nsuula ekitala okuva mu mukono gwe.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will shatter his strong arm, which has already been broken. And I will cast the sword away from his hand.
23 Ndisaasaanya Abamisiri mu mawanga ne mu nsi ennyingi.
And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.
24 Ndinyweza emikono gya kabaka w’e Babulooni ne nteeka ekitala mu mukono gwe, naye ndimenya emikono gya Falaawo, era alisindira mu maaso ga kabaka w’e Babulooni, ng’omuntu afumitiddwa anaatera okufa.
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And I will put my sword into his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh. And they will groan acutely, when they are slain before his face.
25 Ndinyweza emikono gya kabaka w’e Babulooni, naye emikono gya Falaawo giriremala, balyoke bamanye nga nze Mukama. Nditeeka ekitala mu mikono gya kabaka w’e Babulooni, n’akigololera ku nsi y’e Misiri.
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and when he will have extended it over the land of Egypt.
26 Ndibunya Abamisiri mu mawanga ne mbasaasaanya ne mu nsi yonna, era balimanya nga nze Mukama.”
And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
