< Ezeekyeri 5 >

1 “Kaakano, omwana w’omuntu, ddira ekitala ekyogi, okikozese nga weembe ya kinyoozi okwemwa omutwe n’ekirevu. N’oluvannyuma oteeke enviiri ku minzaani ozipime era ozigabanyeemu.
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp instrument, even a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thy head and thy beard; and take thee weighing-balances, and divide the hair.
2 Ennaku ez’obusibe bwo bwe ziriggwaako, oyokere kimu kya kusatu ku nviiri ezo mu kibuga. Ekimu kya kusatu ekirala okisaasaanye mu mpewo. Ndibagobesa ekitala.
A third part shalt thou burn with fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part and smite it round about with the sword; and a third part shalt thou scatter in the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Naye ddira ku miguwa mitono, egy’enviiri ogifundikire mu kyambalo kyo.
Thou shalt also take thereof a small number, and bind them in thy skirts.
4 Ate era ddira mitono ku egyo, ogisuule mu muliro, ogyokye. Omuliro gulibuna ennyumba ya Isirayiri yonna okuva okwo.
And of these again take some and cast them into the fire, and burn them in the fire. From them shall a fire come forth upon the whole house of Israel.
5 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Eno ye Yerusaalemi gye nateeka wakati mu mawanga, ng’ensi zonna zigyetoolodde.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem; in the midst of the nations have I set her, and countries are round about her.
6 Naye, boonoonye okusinga amawanga n’ensi abemwetoolodde bwe boonoonye ne bajeemera amateeka n’ebiragiro byange. Ajeemedde amateeka gange, n’atagoberera biragiro byange.
But she hath wickedly resisted my ordinances more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries, that are round about her. For they have refused my ordinances, and have not walked in my statutes.
7 “Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Mubadde bajeemu nnyo n’okusinga amawanga agabeetoolodde ne mutagoberera biragiro byange wadde okukuuma amateeka gange. Mukoze ebibi okusinga amawanga agabeetoolodde ne mutagoberera biragiro byange wadde okukuuma amateeka gange. Mwonoonye okukira amawanga agabeetoolodde bwe gakola.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have been rebellious more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, nor kept my ordinances, but have done according to the ordinances of the nations which are round about you,
8 “Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nze kennyini ndi mulabe wo, Yerusaalemi, era ndikubonerereza mu maaso g’amawanga.
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments against thee in the sight of the nations.
9 Olwa bakatonda bo abalala bonna ab’emizizo, ndikukola ekyo kye sikolanga, era kye siriddayo kukola.
I will do to thee that which I have not yet done, and the like of which I shall not do again, because of all thine iniquities.
10 Bakitaabwe baliriira abaana baabwe mu maaso gammwe, ate n’abaana balirya bakitaabwe, era ndikubonereza ne nsasaanya abalisigalawo eri empewo.
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter the whole remnant of thee to all the winds.
11 Noolwekyo nga bwe ndi omulamu, olw’okuyonoonesa awatukuvu wange ne bakatonda abalala ab’ekivve, n’ebikolwa byammwe eby’ekivve, nze kennyini kyendiva nnema okukulaga ekisa, era sirikulaga kisa wadde okukusaasira, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, because thou hast polluted my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also withdraw mine eye from thee; neither will I spare, neither will I have any pity.
12 Kimu kya kusatu ku bantu bo balifa kawumpuli oba bazikirire olw’ekyeya nga bali mu ggwe. Kimu kya kusatu ekirala kirittibwa ekitala ebweru wa bbugwe, ne kimu kya kusatu ekirala ndikisaasaanya eri empewo ne mbagoba n’ekitala ekisowole.
A third part of thee shall die by the pestilence, or be consumed with hunger in the midst of thee; and a third part shall die by the sword round about thee; and a third part will I scatter to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13 “Olwo nno obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi kyange birikkakkana, era ndiba nesasuzza. Era bwe ndibasunguwalira balimanya nga nze Mukama nkyogeredde mu buggya.
Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will satiate my fury upon them, and receive satisfaction; and they shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it in my zeal, when I shall have accomplished my fury upon them.
14 “Ndikufuula ekyazikirira era ekivume mu mawanga agakwetoolodde, mu maaso g’abo bonna abayitawo.
Moreover, I will make thee a waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 Bwe ndikubonerereza mu busungu bwange, ne mu kiruyi kyange nga nnyiize, oliba kivume, oyogerebweko oyeeyerezebwe. Oliba kyakulabula era ekintu ekitiisa eri amawanga agakwetoolodde. Nze Mukama nkyogedde.
And thou shalt be a reproach, and a reviling, and a warning, and an astonishment to the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments upon thee in anger, and in fury, and in furious rebukes; —I, Jehovah, have spoken it; —
16 Bwe ndirasa obusaale obutta era obuzikiriza obw’ekyeya ndirasa okubazikiriza. Ndyongera okuleeta ekyeya, ne nsalako n’emmere ebaweebwa.
when I shall send upon you the evil arrows of famine which bring destruction, which I send to destroy you, and increase the famine upon you, and break your staff of bread.
17 Ndibaleetera ekyeya n’ensolo enkambwe ez’omu nsiko, ne zibaleka nga temulina baana. Kawumpuli n’okuyiwa omusaayi biribatuukako, ne mbaleetako ekitala. Nze Mukama nkyogedde.”
And I will send upon you famine, and evil beasts, which shall make thee childless; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and the sword will I bring upon thee. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
