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 to thee a sharp weapon, the barber's razor thou dost take to thee, and thou hast caused [it] to pass over thy head, and over thy beard, and thou hast taken to thee weighing scales, and apportioned them.
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 with fire thou dost burn in the midst of the city, at the fulness of the days of the siege; and thou hast taken the third part, thou dost smite with a weapon round about it; and the third part thou dost scatter to the wind, and a weapon I draw out after them.
3 Naye ddira ku miguwa mitono, egy’enviiri ogifundikire mu kyambalo kyo.
And thou hast taken thence a few in number — and hast bound 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 thou dost take again, and hast cast them unto the midst of the fire, and hast burned them in the fire — out of it cometh 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 said the Lord Jehovah: this [is] Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations I have set her, And round about her [are] the lands.
6 Naye, boonoonye okusinga amawanga n’ensi abemwetoolodde bwe boonoonye ne bajeemera amateeka n’ebiragiro byange. Ajeemedde amateeka gange, n’atagoberera biragiro byange.
And she changeth My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, And My statutes more than the lands that [are] round about her, For against My judgments they have kicked, And My statutes — they have not walked in them.
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 said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your multiplying above the nations that [are] around you, In My statutes ye have not walked, And My judgments ye have not done, According to the judgments of the nations That [are] round about you ye 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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, even I, And I have done in thy midst judgments, Before the eyes of the nations.
9 Olwa bakatonda bo abalala bonna ab’emizizo, ndikukola ekyo kye sikolanga, era kye siriddayo kukola.
And I have done in thee that which I have not done, And that which I do not its like 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 do eat sons in thy midst, And sons eat their fathers, And I have done in thee judgments, And have scattered all thy remnant 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, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah: Because My sanctuary thou hast defiled, With all thy detestable things, And with all thine abominations, Mine eye pitieth not, and I also spare not. Do not even I also diminish?
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.
Thy third part — by pestilence they die, And by famine are consumed in thy midst, And the third part, by sword they fall round about thee, And the third part, to every wind I scatter, And a sword I draw out after them.
13 “Olwo nno obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi kyange birikkakkana, era ndiba nesasuzza. Era bwe ndibasunguwalira balimanya nga nze Mukama nkyogeredde mu buggya.
And completed hath been Mine anger, And I have caused My fury to rest on them, And I have been comforted, And they have known that I, Jehovah, have spoken in My zeal, In My completing My fury on them.
14 “Ndikufuula ekyazikirira era ekivume mu mawanga agakwetoolodde, mu maaso g’abo bonna abayitawo.
And I give thee for a waste, And for a reproach among nations that [are] round about thee, Before 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.
And it hath been a reproach and a reviling, An instruction and an astonishment, To nations that [are] round about thee, In My doing in thee judgments, In anger and fury, and in furious reproofs, I, Jehovah, have spoken.
16 Bwe ndirasa obusaale obutta era obuzikiriza obw’ekyeya ndirasa okubazikiriza. Ndyongera okuleeta ekyeya, ne nsalako n’emmere ebaweebwa.
In My sending the evil arrows of famine among them, That have been for destruction, That I send to destroy you, And famine I am adding upon you, And I have broken to 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.”
And I have sent on you famine and evil beasts, And they have bereaved thee, And pestilence and blood pass over on thee, And a sword I do bring in against thee, I, Jehovah, have spoken!'
