Ezeekyeri 30
1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And there is a word of YHWH 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 you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Howl, Aah! For the day!
3 kubanga olunaku luli kumpi, olunaku lwa Mukama luli kumpi, olunaku olw’ebire eri bannaggwanga.
For a day [is] near, a day [is] near to YHWH! It is a time of cloud [over] the nations.
4 Ekitala kirirumba Misiri, n’ennaku eribeera mu Buwesiyopya. Bwe balifiira mu Misiri, obugagga bwe bulitwalibwa n’emisingi gyayo girimenyebwa.’
And a sword has come into Egypt, And there has been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And its foundations have been broken down.
5 Obuwesiyopya, ne Puuti, ne Luudi ne Buwalabu yonna, ne Kubu n’abantu bonna ab’ensi ey’endagaano balittibwa ekitala awamu ne Misiri.
Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant fall by sword with them,
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 said YHWH: And those supporting Egypt have fallen, And the arrogance of her strength has come down, From Migdol to Syene, they fall by sword in her, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
7 Balirekebwawo wakati mu nsi endala ezalekebwawo, n’ebibuga byabwe biribeera ebimu ku ebyo ebyasaanawo.
And they have been desolated in the midst of desolate lands, And its cities are in the midst of cities [that are] laid waste.
8 Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndikuma ku Misiri omuliro, n’ababeezi baayo bonna balibetentebwa.
And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving fire against Egypt, And all her helpers have been broken.
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 go forth from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there has been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for behold, it has come.
10 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ndimalawo ebibinja by’Abamisiri nga nkozesa omukono gwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni.
Thus said Lord YHWH: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
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 terrible of nations, Are brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the wounded.
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 have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evildoers, And I have made the land desolate, And its fullness, by the hand of strangers, I, YHWH, 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 said Lord YHWH: And I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And there is no longer a prince of the land of Egypt, And I give fear in the land of Egypt.
14 Ndifuula Pasulo okuba amatongo, ne Zowani ndikikumako omuliro ne mbonereza n’ab’omu No.
And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,
15 Ndifuka ekiruyi kyange ku Sini, ekigo kya Misiri eky’amaanyi, era ndimalawo n’ebibinja bya No.
And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No.
16 Ndikuma omuliro ku Misiri, ne Sini baliba mu bubalagaze bungi, ne No balitwalibwa omuyaga, ne Noofu baliba mu kubonaabona okw’olubeerera.
And I have given fire against Egypt, Sin is greatly pained, and No is to be broken, And Noph has daily distresses.
17 Abavubuka ab’e Oni n’ab’e Pibesesi baligwa n’ekitala, n’ebibuga biriwambibwa.
The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth fall by sword, And these go 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 the day has been dark in Tehaphnehes, In My breaking the yokes of Egypt there, And the excellence of her strength has ceased in her, Her! A cloud covers her, And her daughters go into captivity.
19 Bwe ntyo bwe ndibonereza Misiri, bategeere nga nze Mukama.’”
And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
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 comes to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying, “Son of man,
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.
I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And behold, it has not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it—to lay hold on 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.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of his hand,
23 Ndisaasaanya Abamisiri mu mawanga ne mu nsi ennyingi.
And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And have spread them through 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 have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he has groaned the groans of a pierced one—before him.
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 have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh fall down, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has stretched it out toward the land of Egypt.
26 Ndibunya Abamisiri mu mawanga ne mbasaasaanya ne mu nsi yonna, era balimanya nga nze Mukama.”
And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
