< Ezeekyeri 6 >

1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira nti,
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Omwana w’omuntu tunuulira ensozi za Isirayiri,
“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,
3 oyogere nti, ‘Mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri ensozi n’obusozi, eri emigga n’ebiwonvu, nti, Nze kennyini ndibaleetako ekitala ne nzikiriza n’ebifo byammwe ebigulumivu.
and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: “Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.
4 Ebyoto byammwe birimenyebwamenyebwa, n’ebyoto kwe mwotereza obubaane birimenyebwamenyebwa; ndittira abantu bo mu maaso ga bakatonda bo abalala.
Your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken. I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5 Ndiddira emirambo gy’Abayisirayiri ne ngiteeka mu maaso ga bakatonda baabwe abalala, era ndisaasaanya amagumba go okwetooloola ebyoto byo.
I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols. I will scatter your bones around your altars.
6 Buli gye mubeera ebibuga biriyonoonebwa n’ebifo byammwe ebigulumivu birisaanyizibwawo, n’ebyoto byammwe ne byonoonebwa ne bimenyebwamenyebwa, ne bakatonda bammwe ne bamenyebwamenyebwa ne boonoonebwa, era n’ebyoto byammwe ebyokerwako obubaane ne bimenyebwa ne bye mukoze ne bisaanawo.
In all your dwelling places, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
7 Abantu bo balittibwa wakati mu mmwe, ne mulyoka mumanya nga nze Mukama.
The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.
8 “‘Naye ndirekawo abamu ku mmwe, era muliba bakaawonawo nga musaasaanye mu nsi ne mu mawanga.
“‘“Yet I will leave a remnant, in that you will have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.
9 Era eyo mu mawanga bakaawonawo gye mwatwalibwa mu busibe, mulinzijukira, kubanga nnumwa olw’emitima gyabwe eginjeemedde egyegomba era egisinza bakatonda abalala. Balikyama olw’obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, n’olwebikolwa byabwe byonna ebigwenyufu.
Those of you that escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols. Then they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
10 Era balimanya nga nze Mukama; saabatiisiza bwereere okubaleetako akabi kano.
They will know that I am the LORD. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.”’
11 “‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kuba mu ngalo zo, osambagale era okaabire waggulu oyogere nti, “Woowe”; olw’ebikolwa byonna ebitali bya butuukirivu n’ebintu byonna eby’ekkive eby’ennyumba ya Isirayiri; abamu baligwa n’ekitala, abalala balifa enjala, n’abalala balifa kawumpuli.
“The Lord GOD says: ‘Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, “Alas!”, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they will fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
12 Ali ewala alifa kawumpuli, n’oyo ali okumpi aligwa n’ekitala, n’oyo alisigalawo alifa enjala. Bwe ntyo bwe ndiraga obusungu bwange.
He who is far off will die of the pestilence. He who is near will fall by the sword. He who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus I will accomplish my wrath on them.
13 Mulitegeera nga nze Mukama, abantu baabwe bwe balisangibwa nga bafiiridde wakati mu bakatonda baabwe be baakola n’emikono okwetooloola ebyoto byabwe, ne ku buli lusozi oluwanvu, ne ku buli ntikko ez’ensozi, ne buli wansi w’omuti oguliko ebikoola, n’omwera oguliko ebikoola, ebifo gye baali nga bootereza obubaane eri bakatonda baabwe be baakola n’emikono.
You will know that I am the LORD when their slain men are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree, and under every thick oak—the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.
14 Era ndigolola omukono gwange ku bo, ensi ne yonooneka ne tebalamu kintu okuva ku ddungu okutuuka e Dibula, ne buli gye babeera. Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama.’”
I will stretch out my hand on them and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
