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.
Thou therefore son of man Take thee a sharp cutting instrument, a barber’s razor, shalt thou take thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy chin, —and shalt take the balances for weighing, and shalt 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 in the fire, shalt thou burn in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled, —and thou shalt take a third part, thou shalt smite it with the cuting instrument round about it, and a third part, shalt thou scatter to the wind, and, a sword, will I, make bare after them;
3 Naye ddira ku miguwa mitono, egy’enviiri ogifundikire mu kyambalo kyo.
and thou shalt take from thence, a few in number, —and shalt 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 them, again take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire, -therefrom, shall go forth a fire unto all the 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 My Lord, Yahweh, This, is Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations, I placed her, — and of the countries 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 changed my regulations into lawlessness, more than the nations, And my statutes more than the countries which are round bout her, For my regulations, have they rejected, And in my statutes, have they not walked.
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 My Lord, Yahweh. Because ye have become more rebellious than the nations who are round about you, In my statutes, have not walked. And my regulations, have not done, And according to the regulations of the nations which are round about you, have not done:
8 “Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nze kennyini ndi mulabe wo, Yerusaalemi, era ndikubonerereza mu maaso g’amawanga.
Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I am against thee, even I, Therefore will I, execute in thy midst, judgments, in the eyes of the nations;
9 Olwa bakatonda bo abalala bonna ab’emizizo, ndikukola ekyo kye sikolanga, era kye siriddayo kukola.
Yea I will execute upon thee that which I have not executed, And like unto which I will not execute again, - Because of all thine abominations.
10 Bakitaabwe baliriira abaana baabwe mu maaso gammwe, ate n’abaana balirya bakitaabwe, era ndikubonereza ne nsasaanya abalisigalawo eri empewo.
Therefore, fathers will eat sons in thy midst, And sons will eat fathers, — And I will execute upon thee judgments, And will scatter the whole remnant of thee, to every wind.
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, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, — Surely because my sanctuary, thou hast defiled, with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations Even I also, will cut off, and mine eye, shall not spare, Yea even I will not 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.
The third part of thee by pestilence, shall die, and by famine, be consumed in thy midst And the third part by the sword, shall fall round about thee, - And the third part to every wind, will I scatter, and a sword, will I make bare after them.
13 “Olwo nno obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi kyange birikkakkana, era ndiba nesasuzza. Era bwe ndibasunguwalira balimanya nga nze Mukama nkyogeredde mu buggya.
So shall mine anger have an end, And I will cause mine indignation, to find rest, upon them, and will console myself, - And they shall know that, I, Yahweh, have spoken in my jealousy, when mine indignation hath come to an end, upon them.
14 “Ndikufuula ekyazikirira era ekivume mu mawanga agakwetoolodde, mu maaso g’abo bonna abayitawo.
And I will deliver thee up to desolation and reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, —in the eyes of every passer-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.
So shall it become a reproach and an insult a warning and an astonishment, to the nations that are round about thee, —in that I have executed upon thee judgments in anger and in indignation and in rebukes of indignation, I, Yahweh have spoken:
16 Bwe ndirasa obusaale obutta era obuzikiriza obw’ekyeya ndirasa okubazikiriza. Ndyongera okuleeta ekyeya, ne nsalako n’emmere ebaweebwa.
In that I have sent the malignant arrows of famine among them which were for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, —and famine, will I increase upon you, and will break for you the 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.”
So will I send upon you famine and mischievous beast and they shall bereave thee, —and pestilence and blood, shall pass through thee, —and a sword, will I bring in upon thee, I Yahweh, have spoken.
