Ezeekyeri 4

1 “Kaakano omwana w’omuntu, ddira ekipande eky’ebbumba okiteeke mu maaso go, okikubeko ekifaananyi ky’ekibuga Yerusaalemi,

You also, son of man, take you a tile, and lay it before you, and illustrate upon it the city, even Jerusalem:

2 okizingize, okizimbeko bbugwe okukyetooloola, okituumeko ekifunvu, era oteekewo ensiisira okukyetooloola n’ebifunvu bye banaatomera enjuuyi zonna.

And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.

3 “Oluvannyuma oddire olukalango olw’ekyuma, oluteeke okuba bbugwe ow’ekyuma wakati wo n’ekibuga, okyuke okitunuulire. Kiriba mu mbeera ey’okuzingizibwa, era naawe kizingize. Ako kaliba kabonero eri ennyumba ya Isirayiri.

Moreover take you unto you an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

4 “N’oluvannyuma oligalamira ku lubiriizi lwo olwa kkono n’oddira ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Isirayiri okyeteekeko. Olyetikka ekibi kyabwe ennaku z’olimala ng’ogalamidde ku lubiriizi lwo.

Lie you also upon your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that you shall lie upon it you shall bear their iniquity.

5 Ennaku z’olimala ezenkanankana emyaka gye baamala nga boonoona. Noolwekyo olimala ennaku ebikumi bisatu mu kyenda nga weetisse ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Isirayiri.

For I have laid upon you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6 “Ekyo bw’olikimala, oligalamira nate, ku mulundi guno ku lubiriizi lwo olwa ddyo, ne weetikka ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Yuda. Olimala ennaku amakumi ana, buli lunaku mwaka.

And when you have accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.

7 Olikyusa amaaso go n’otunula eri okuzingizibwa kwa Yerusaalemi, okyogerereko ebigambo n’omukono gwo ogutali mubikkeko,

Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.

8 Ndikusiba emiguwa n’otosobola kwekyusa okuva ku luuyi olumu okudda ku lulala, okutuusa ennaku ez’obusibe bwo lwe ziriggwaako.

And, behold, I will lay bands upon you, and you shall not turn you from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your siege.

9 “Ddira eŋŋaano ne sayiri, n’obulo, n’omukyere, n’ebijanjalo, n’enva endiirwa endala obisse mu kibya omuterekebwa, obikozese okwefumbira omugaati. Oligulya mu nnaku ezo ebikumi ebisatu mu ekyenda z’oliba ogalamidde ku luuyi olw’omubiri gwo.

Take you also unto you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make you bread thereof, according to the number of the days that you shall lie upon your side, three hundred and ninety days shall you eat thereof.

10 Opime gulaamu ebikumi bibiri mu amakumi asatu ez’emmere gy’olirya buli lunaku, era gy’oliriira mu biseera ebigere.

And your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat it.

11 Ate opime nga kitundu kya lita ey’amazzi, oganywe mu biseera ebigere.

You shall drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shall you drink.

12 Olye emmere nga bwe wandiridde keeke eya sayiri; ogifumbe n’obusa bw’omuntu, ng’abantu balaba.”

And you shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it with dung that comes out of man, in their sight.

13 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Mu ngeri eno abantu ba Isirayiri baliriira emmere etali nnongoofu mu mawanga gye ndibasindika.”

And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.

14 Ne njogera nti, “Nedda Ayi Mukama Katonda. Sseeyonoonesanga, era okuva mu buto bwange n’okutuusa kaakano siryanga kifu wadde ekitaaguddwataaguddwa ensolo enkambwe. Siryanga nnyama etali nnongoofu.”

Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.

15 N’ayogera nti, “Weewaawo, nnaakukkiriza okukozesa obusa bw’ente okufumba omugaati mu kifo ky’obusa bw’abantu.”

Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread therewith.

16 N’oluvannyuma n’aŋŋamba nti, “Omwana w’omuntu, ndisalako emmere eri mu Yerusaalemi. Abantu balirya emmere engere mu kutya, ne banywa amazzi amapime mu kutya,

Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

17 kubanga emmere n’amazzi biriba bya bbula. Tebalyagala kwetunulako, era baliggwaawo olw’ekibi kyabwe.”

That they may lack bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
