< Ezeekyeri 38 >
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 thy face unto Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him,
3 oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nkulinako ensonga ggwe Googi omulangira omukulu owa Meseki ne Tubali.
and thou hast said: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O 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.
And I have turned thee back, And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And have brought thee out, and all thy force, Horses and horsemen, Clothed in perfection all of them, A numerous assembly, [with] buckler and shield, Handling swords — all of them.
5 Obuperusi, ne Kuusi ne Puuti balibeera wamu nabo, bonna nga balina engabo n’enkuufiira;
Persia, Cush, and Phut, 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 its bands, The house of Togarmah of the sides of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with thee,
7 “‘Weeteeketeeke beera bulindaala ggwe n’ekibinja kyonna ekikwetoolodde; obaduumire.
Be prepared, yea, prepare for thee, Thou and all thine assemblies who are assembled unto thee, And thou hast been to them for a guard.
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 thou art appointed, In the latter end of the years thou comest in unto a land brought back from sword, [A people] gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the peoples hath been brought out, And dwelt safely have 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.
And thou hast gone up — as wasting thou comest in, As a cloud to cover the land art thou, Thou and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee.
10 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ku lunaku olwo ebirowoozo biribajjira ne muteesa okukola akabi.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And it hath come to pass in that day, Come up do things on thy heart, And thou hast thought an evil thought,
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.
And thou hast said: I go up against a land of unwalled villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have not.
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 a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back thy hand on inhabited wastes, And on a people gathered out of nations, Making cattle and substance, Dwelling on a high part of the land.
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, and Dedan, and merchants of Tarshish, And all its young lions say to thee: To take a spoil art thou come in? To take a prey assembled thine assembly? To bear away silver and gold? To take away cattle and substance? To take a great spoil?
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, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said to Gog: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In that day, in the dwelling of My people Israel safely, Dost thou not know?
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.
And thou hast come in out of thy place, From the sides of the north, Thou and many peoples with thee, Riding on horses — all of them, A great assembly, and a numerous force.
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.
And thou hast come up against My people Israel, As a cloud to cover the land, In the latter end of the days it is, And I have brought thee in against My land, In order that the nations may know Me, In My being sanctified in thee before their eyes, O Gog.
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?
Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Art thou he of whom I spake in former days, By the hand of My servants, prophets of Israel, Who are prophesying in those days — years, To bring thee in against them?
18 Naye ku lunaku olwo, Googi bw’alirumba ensi ya Isirayiri, ndiraga obusungu bwange, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, In the day of the coming in of Gog against the land of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Come up doth My fury in My face,
19 Mu buggya bwange ne mu busungu bwange nnangirira nga njogera nti walibaawo musisi ow’amaanyi mu nsi ya Isirayiri;
And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken: Is there not in that day a great rushing on the land of 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.
And rushed from My presence have fishes of the sea, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the field, And every creeping thing that is creeping on the ground, And all men who [are] on the face of the ground, And thrown down have been the mountains, And fallen have the ascents, And every wall to the earth falleth.
21 Nditumira Googi ekitala okuva mu nsozi zange zonna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, era buli muntu alirwana ne muganda we.
And I have called against him, to all My mountains a sword, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, The sword of each is 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.
And I have been judged with him, With pestilence and with blood, And an overflowing rain and hailstones, Fire and brimstone I rain on him, and on his bands, And on many peoples who [are] with him.
23 Olwo ndyolesa obukulu bwange n’obutukuvu bwange, era ndyeraga eri amawanga mangi, ne balyoka bamanya nga Nze Mukama Katonda.’”
And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!
