Ezeekyeri 30
1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, ha! for the day!
3 kubanga olunaku luli kumpi, olunaku lwa Mukama luli kumpi, olunaku olw’ebire eri bannaggwanga.
For near [is] a day, near [is] a day to Jehovah! A day of clouds, the time of nations it is.
4 Ekitala kirirumba Misiri, n’ennaku eribeera mu Buwesiyopya. Bwe balifiira mu Misiri, obugagga bwe bulitwalibwa n’emisingi gyayo girimenyebwa.’
And come in hath a sword to Egypt, And there hath been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And broken down have been its foundations.
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 with them by sword do fall,
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 Jehovah: And — fallen have supporters of Egypt, And come down hath the arrogance of her strength, From Migdol to Syene, by sword they fall in her, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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 wasted cities.
8 Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama bwe ndikuma ku Misiri omuliro, n’ababeezi baayo bonna balibetentebwa.
And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving fire against Egypt, And broken have been all her helpers.
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 go forth do messengers from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there hath been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for lo, it hath come.
10 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “‘Ndimalawo ebibinja by’Abamisiri nga nkozesa omukono gwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 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 evil doers, And I have made desolate the land, And its fulness, by the hand of strangers, I, Jehovah, 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 the Lord Jehovah: And — I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And a prince of the land of Egypt there is no more, 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, Greatly pained is Sin, and No is to be rent, And Noph hath daily distresses.
17 Abavubuka ab’e Oni n’ab’e Pibesesi baligwa n’ekitala, n’ebibuga biriwambibwa.
The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth by sword do fall, And these into captivity do go.
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 Tehaphnehes hath the day been dark, In My breaking there the yokes of Egypt, And ceased in her hath the excellency of her strength, She — a cloud doth cover her, And her daughters into captivity do go.
19 Bwe ntyo bwe ndibonereza Misiri, bategeere nga nze Mukama.’”
And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
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 cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto 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.
The arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, I have broken, And lo, it hath 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 the Lord Jehovah: Lo, 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 scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I 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 strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And I have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he hath 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 do fall down, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he hath 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] Jehovah!'
