Ezeekyeri 38
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Omwana w’omuntu tunuuliza amaaso go eri Googi ow’omu nsi ya Magoogi, omulangira omukulu owa Meseki ne Tubali, owe obunnabbi gy’ali,
“Son of man, set your face towards Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nkulinako ensonga ggwe Googi omulangira omukulu owa Meseki ne Tubali.
and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
4 Ndikwetoolooza, ne nteeka amalobo mu mba zo, era ndibakulembera n’eggye lyo lyonna, n’embalaasi n’abeebagala embalaasi, bonna nga bambadde ebyokulwanyisa mu kibinja ekinene ekirina engabo ennene n’entono, nga bakutte n’ebitala.
I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armour, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;
5 Obuperusi, ne Kuusi ne Puuti balibeera wamu nabo, bonna nga balina engabo n’enkuufiira;
Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
6 era ne Gomeri n’eggye lye lyonna, n’ennyumba ya Togaluma okuva mu bukiikakkono obw’ewala ddala n’eggye lyabwe lyonna, amawanga mangi nga gali wamu nammwe.
Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes—even many peoples with you.
7 “‘Weeteeketeeke beera bulindaala ggwe n’ekibinja kyonna ekikwetoolodde; obaduumire.
“‘“Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies who are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
8 Oluvannyuma olw’ennaku ennyingi mulikuŋŋaanyizibwa era mu myaka egy’oluvannyuma mulirumba ensi eyaakava mu lutalo, ensi abantu mwe baakuŋŋanyizibwa okuva mu mawanga amangi ku nsozi za Isirayiri ezalekebwawo. Abantu baayo baggyibwa mu mawanga, kaakano bonna batudde mirembe.
After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out of the peoples and they will dwell securely, all of them.
9 Ggwe n’eggye lyo lyonna n’amawanga agali awamu naawe, muliyambuka mubalumbe, era mulibalumba ng’omuyaga, era muliba ng’ekire ekibisse ku nsi.
You will ascend. You will come like a storm. You will be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.”
10 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ku lunaku olwo ebirowoozo biribajjira ne muteesa okukola akabi.
“‘The Lord GOD says: “It will happen in that day that things will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
11 Muligamba nti, “Ndirumba ensi ey’ebyalo ebitaliiko nkomera, ndirumba eggwanga erijjudde emirembe era eriteeteeseteese, bonna nga babeera mu bigango okutali nkomera newaakubadde ebyuma eby’amaanyi.
You will say, ‘I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 Ndibba ne nnyaga ne nnumba ebifo ebyazika, kaakano ebibeeramu abantu, abantu abaakuŋŋaanyizibwa okuva mu mawanga ag’enjawulo gye babeera, abalina obugagga bw’ente n’ebintu ebirala, ababeera wakati mu nsi.”
to take the plunder and to take prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth.’
13 Seeba ne Dedani n’abasuubuzi ab’e Talusiisi n’ab’ebyalo bye bonna balibabuuza nti, “Muzze kunyaga? Mukuŋŋaanyizza ebibinja byammwe mutunyage, mutwale effeeza yaffe ne zaabu yaffe, n’ebisolo byaffe n’ebintu byaffe ebirala, mutwale omunyago omunene?”’
Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, will ask you, ‘Have you come to take the plunder? Have you assembled your company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’
14 “Noolwekyo omwana w’omuntu kyonoova owa obunnabbi, n’ogamba Googi nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ku lunaku olwo abantu bange Isirayiri bwe baliba ng’abatudde mirembe, temulikiraba?
“Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, ‘The Lord GOD says: “In that day when my people Israel dwells securely, will you not know it?
15 Olijja okuva mu kifo kyo mu bukiikakkono obuli ewala ennyo, ggwe n’amawanga mangi wamu naawe, bonna nga beebagadde embalaasi, enkuyanja y’abantu, era eggye eddene.
You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16 Mulitabaala abantu bange Isirayiri ng’ekire ekibikka ku nsi. Era mu nnaku ez’oluvannyuma ndikulinnyisa n’olumba ensi yange, ggwe Googi, amawanga gamanye. Era ndyolesa obutukuvu bwange mu maaso gaabwe.
You will come up against my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land. It will happen in the latter days that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me when I am sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes.”
17 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Si mmwe be nayogerako edda nga mpita mu baddu bange bannabbi ba Isirayiri, abaawa obunnabbi mu biro ebyo okumala ebbanga, nga ŋŋenda kubasindika mubalumbe?
“‘The Lord GOD says: “Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for years that I would bring you against them?
18 Naye ku lunaku olwo, Googi bw’alirumba ensi ya Isirayiri, ndiraga obusungu bwange, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
It will happen in that day, when Gog comes against Eretz-Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that my wrath will come up into my nostrils.
19 Mu buggya bwange ne mu busungu bwange nnangirira nga njogera nti walibaawo musisi ow’amaanyi mu nsi ya Isirayiri;
For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in Eretz-Israel,
20 n’ebyennyanja ebiri mu nnyanja, n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga, n’ensolo enkambwe ez’omu nsiko, ne buli kyewalulira ku ttaka, n’abantu bonna abali ku nsi balikankana olw’okujja kwange. Ensozi zirisuulibwa n’ebbanga liribulunguka, ne buli bbugwe aligwa ku ttaka.
so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth will shake at my presence. Then the mountains will be thrown down, the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.
21 Nditumira Googi ekitala okuva mu nsozi zange zonna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, era buli muntu alirwana ne muganda we.
I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
22 Ndibabonereza ne kawumpuli n’okuyiwa omusaayi, era nditonnyesa amatondo ag’enkuba amanene nga mulimu omuzira n’omuliro ku ye, n’eggye lye ne ku mawanga amangi agaamwegattako.
I will enter into judgement with him with pestilence and with blood. I will rain on him, on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains with great hailstones, fire, and sulphur.
23 Olwo ndyolesa obukulu bwange n’obutukuvu bwange, era ndyeraga eri amawanga mangi, ne balyoka bamanya nga Nze Mukama Katonda.’”
I will magnify myself and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”’
