Ezeekyeri 36
1 “Omwana w’omuntu, yogera obunnabbi eri ensozi za Isirayiri, ogambe nti, Mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama.
And thou, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah.
2 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, omulabe yayogera nti, ‘Otyo, ensozi ez’edda kaakano zaffe.’
Thus says the lord Jehovah: Because the enemy has said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are ours in possession,
3 Kyemwava muwa obunnabbi ne mwogera nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kubanga baabacocca ne babayigganya enjuuyi zonna amawanga amalala ne gabeetwalira, era ne mufuuka eky’okwogerwako era ne baboogerako eby’obulimba,
therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people,
4 kyemunaava muwulira ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti eri ensozi n’obusozi, n’eri enzizi n’ebiwonvu, n’eri ebifulukwa n’ebibuga ebyafuuka amatongo ebyanyagibwa ne bifuuka eby’okusekererwa eri amawanga gonna okwetooloola
therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the lord Jehovah. Thus says the lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about,
5 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; Njogerera mu busungu bwange obungi eri amawanga amalala n’eri Edomu yonna, abajjula okusanyuka n’ettima mu mitima gyabwe, ne baddira ensi yange ne bagifuula eyaabwe banyage obugagga bwayo.’
therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, who have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with spite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.
6 Kyonoova owa obunnabbi eri ensi ya Isirayiri n’oyogera eri ensozi n’obusozi, n’eri enzizi n’ebiwonvu nti, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Njogera nga nzijudde obuggya n’obusungu kubanga mwasekererwa nnyo amawanga.
Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because ye have borne the shame of the nations.
7 Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Ndayira nti amawanga agabeetoolodde nago galisekererwa.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: I have sworn, saying, Surely the nations that are round about you, they shall bear their shame.
8 “‘Naye mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri mulireeta amatabi gammwe ne mubalira abantu bange Isirayiri ebibala byammwe kubanga banaatera okudda ewaabwe.
But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for they are at hand to come.
9 Mbalumirwa era ndibatunuulira n’ekisa, era abalimi balikabala ettaka lyammwe ne basigamu ensigo,
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn into you, and ye shall be tilled and sown.
10 era ndibaaza mmwe, ennyumba yonna eya Isirayiri. Ebibuga birituulwamu, n’ebyali ebifulukwa biriddaabirizibwa.
And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it, and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
11 Ndyaza abantu n’ensolo, era abantu balyeyongera n’ensolo ne zeeyongera. Ndibazzaayo mu bifo byammwe eby’edda, era ndibakolera ebirungi ebisingawo ku bye nabakolera, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama.
And I will multiply upon you man and beast, and they shall increase and be fruitful. And I will cause you to be inhabited according to your former estate, and will do better to you than at your beginnings. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
12 Ndikkiriza abantu bange, Isirayiri babatambulireko, era balibeddiza, nammwe muliba mugabo gwabwe nga temukyaddamu kubaggyako baana baabwe.
Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel, and they shall possess thee, and thou shall be their inheritance, and thou shall no more henceforth bereave them of sons.
13 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kubanga abantu baboogerako nti, “Musaanyaawo abantu ne mumalawo ezzadde lye ggwanga lyammwe,”
Thus says the lord Jehovah: Because they say to you, Thou O land are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of thy nation,
14 kyemuliva mutaddayo kusaanyaawo bantu newaakubadde okubamalako ezzadde ly’eggwanga lyo, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
therefore thou shall no more devour men, nor bereave thy nation any more, says the lord Jehovah.
15 Toliwulira nate okusekererwa kw’amawanga newaakubadde okunyoomebwa wadde eggwanga lyo okugwa, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
Neither will I let thee hear any more the shame of the nations, nor shall thou bear the reproach of the peoples any more, nor shall thou cause thy nation to stumble any more, says the lord Jehovah.
16 Nate ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
17 “Omwana w’omuntu, abantu ba Isirayiri bwe baaberanga mu nsi yaabwe, baagyonoona olw’empisa zaabwe n’ebikolwa byabwe, era n’ebikolwa byabwe byali ng’obutali bulongoofu obw’omukazi mu biseera bye.
Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
18 Olw’omusaayi gwe baayiwa mu nsi, ate n’olw’okusinza bakatonda abalala kwe beeyonoonyesa, kyennava mbayiwako ekiruyi kyange.
Therefore I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood which they had poured out upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.
19 Naye mbasaasaanyiza mu mawanga, ne basaasaana mu nsi. Era nabasalira omusango ng’empisa zaabwe n’ebikolwa byabwe bwe byali.
And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their doings.
20 Buli gye baagendanga mu mawanga baaswazanga erinnya lyange ettukuvu, kubanga kyayogerwanga nti, ‘Bano bantu ba Mukama, naye baagobebwa mu nsi ye.’
And when they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and have gone forth out of his land.
21 Nafaayo ku linnya lyange ettukuvu, ennyumba ya Isirayiri lye yaswaza mu mawanga gye baagenda.
But I had regard for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.
22 “Kale nno gamba ennyumba ya Isirayiri nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: Ggwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri bino sibikola ku lulwo, naye ku lw’erinnya lyange ettukuvu lye mwavumisa mu mawanga gye mwagenda.
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the lord Jehovah: I do this not for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations where ye went.
23 Ndiraga obutukuvu bw’erinnya lyange ekkulu, eryavumisibwa mu mawanga, erinnya lye mwavumisa mu bo, era amawanga galimanya nga nze Mukama, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, bwe ndyolesa obutukuvu bwange mu mmwe mu maaso gaabwe.
And I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them. And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, says the lord Jehovah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24 “‘Ndibaggya mu mawanga ne mbakuŋŋaanya okuva mu nsi zonna ne mbakomyawo mu nsi yammwe.
For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 Ndibamaansirako amazzi amayonjo, era ndibaggyako obutali bulongoofu bwammwe bwonna n’okuva ku bakatonda abalala bonna, ne mbafuula abalongoofu.
And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness, and from all your idols.
26 Ndibawa omutima omuggya era ne nteeka n’omwoyo omuggya mu mmwe. Ndibaggyamu omutima ogw’ejjinja ne mbawa omutima ogw’ennyama.
I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
27 Era ndibawa Omwoyo wange alibakubiriza okugoberera ebiragiro byange n’okukuuma obulungi amateeka gange.
And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
28 Mulibeera mu nsi gye nawa bajjajjammwe, nammwe mulibeera bantu bange, nange ne mbeera Katonda wammwe.
And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 Ndibalokola mu butali bulongoofu bwammwe bwonna, era nditumya emmere ey’empeke ne ngyaza nnyo muleme okulumwa enjala.
And I will save you from all your uncleannesses. And I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine upon you.
30 Ndyaza ebibala eby’oku miti n’ebimera eby’omu nnimiro, nga temukyasekererwa nate mu mawanga olw’enjala.
And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye may no more receive the reproach of famine among the nations.
31 Olwo mulijjukira amakubo gammwe amabi n’ebikolwa byammwe ebitali birungi, era mulyetamwa olw’ebibi byammwe n’olw’ebikolwa byammwe eby’emizizo.
Then ye shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good. And ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Mukimanye ng’ebyo sibikola ku lwammwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Muswale olw’ebikolwa byammwe, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
I do this not for your sake, says the lord Jehovah; be it known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
33 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: Ku lunaku lwe ndibanaalizaako ebibi byammwe byonna, abantu balidda mu bibuga byammwe n’ebifulukwa biriddaabirizibwa.
Thus says the lord Jehovah: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
34 Ensi eyazika eririmibwa, ereme kuba nga bwe yali mu maaso gaabo bonna abaagiyitangamu.
And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
35 Balyogera nti, “Ensi eno eyali ezise, kaakano efuuse ng’ennimiro Adeni, n’ebifulukwa n’ebibuga ebyali bifuuse amatongo, kaakano mulimu ababibeeramu, era biriko ne bbugwe.”
And they shall say, This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. And the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.
36 Olwo n’amawanga agaasigalawo agabeetoolodde galimanya nga nze Mukama, naddaabiriza ebyayonoonebwa, n’ennimiro n’ebyali bizise. Nze Mukama nkyogedde, era ndikituukiriza.’
Then the nations that are left round about you shall know that I, Jehovah, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate. I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.
37 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti: Nate ndiwuliriza ennyumba ya Isirayiri ne mbakolera kino, era ndyaza abantu baabwe babeere bangi ng’ekisibo ky’endiga.
Thus says the lord Jehovah: For this, moreover, I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them. I will increase them with men like a flock.
38 Balyala ng’ebisibo eby’endiga ez’okuweebwayo e Yerusaalemi ku mbaga ezaalagirwa, era n’ebibuga ebyali amatongo ndibijjuza ebibinja by’abantu. Kale balimanya nga nze Mukama.”
As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
