Ezeekyeri 7
1 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nti,
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 “Omwana w’omuntu, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda eri ensi ya Isirayiri nti: “‘Enkomerero! Enkomerero etuuse ku nsonda ennya ez’ensi.
Thou son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the land of Israel: —
3 Enkomerero ebatuuseeko era ndibasumulurira obusungu bwange, ne mbasalira omusango ng’engeri zammwe bwe ziri era ndibabonereza ng’ebikolwa byammwe eby’ekkive byonna bwe biri.
The end cometh, the end cometh, Upon the four corners of the land! Now cometh the end upon thee! For I will send my anger upon thee, And will judge thee according to thy ways, And will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
4 Siribatunuulira na liiso lya kisa newaakubadde okubasonyiwa; naye ndibasasula ng’engeri zammwe, n’ebikolwa byammwe eby’ekkive bwe biri mu mmwe. Mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama.’
And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; But I will recompense thy ways upon thee, And thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
5 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: “‘Okuzikirizibwa okutali kumu laba kujja.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an unheard-of evil, behold, it cometh!
6 Enkomerero etuuse, enkomerero etuuse! Ebagolokokeddeko era ejja.
The end cometh, the end cometh! It awaketh against thee, behold, it cometh!
7 Akabi kabajjidde, mmwe abatuuze. Ekiseera kituuse era olunaku luli kumpi, olunaku olw’okutya so si olw’okujaguliriza ku nsozi.
Thy fate cometh upon thee, thou that dwellest in the land! The time is come, The day of tumult is near, When no sound of joy shall be upon the mountains.
8 Nnaatera okubalaga obusungu bwange, n’ekiruyi kyange. Ndibasalira omusango ng’enneeyisa yammwe bw’eri, ne mbasasula ng’ebikolwa byammwe byonna eby’ekkive bwe biri.
Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, And accomplish mine anger against thee; And I will judge thee according to thy ways, And recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
9 Siribatunuulira na liiso lya kisa newaakubadde okubasonyiwa. Ndibabonereza ng’engeri zammwe bwe ziri n’ebikolwa byammwe eby’ekkive bwe biri mu mmwe. Mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama Katonda, era mbonereza.
And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; I will recompense thee according to thy ways, And thine abominations shall come upon thee; And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, smite you.
10 “‘Olunaku luuluno lutuuse. Akabi kabajjidde, obutali bwenkanya bumeze, n’amalala gamulisizza.
Behold, the day, behold, it cometh! The destiny draweth near; The rod hath blossomed, pride hath flourished.
11 Obusungu bweyongedde ne bufuuka omuggo okubonereza obutali butuukirivu; tewaliba n’omu alisigalawo; tewaliba n’omu ku kibiina newaakubadde ku byobugagga byabwe, newaakubadde eky’omuwendo.
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; None of them shall remain, none of their multitude, none of their crowd; Nor shall there be wailing for them.
12 Ekiseera kituuse, n’olunaku lutuuse. Agula aleme okusanyukirira, n’oyo atunda aleme okunakuwala, kubanga obusungu bubuubuukidde ku kibiina kyonna.
The time cometh, the day draweth near! Let not the buyer rejoice, Nor the seller mourn; For wrath is against their whole multitude.
13 Atunda taliddizibwa kintu kye yatunda, bombi bwe banaaba nga bakyali balamu. Kubanga okubonerezebwa kuli ku kibiina kyonna so tekukyajulukuka. Era olw’ebibi byabwe tewaliba n’omu aliwonya obulamu bwe.
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, Though he be yet alive; For the vision against their whole multitude shall not return void, And none that liveth in his iniquity shall strengthen himself
14 “‘Ne bwe balifuuwa ekkondeere ne bateekateeka buli kimu, tewaliba n’omu aligenda mu lutalo, kubanga obusungu bwange bubuubuukidde ku kibiina kyonna.
“Blow ye the trumpet, and let all be ready!” Yet none goeth to the battle; For mine anger is against their whole multitude.
15 Ebweru waliyo ekitala ne munda waliyo kawumpuli n’enjala. Abali ku ttale balifa kitala, abali mu kibuga balimalibwawo kawumpuli n’enjala.
The sword is without, and pestilence and famine within; He that is in the field shall die by the sword; And he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 N’abo abaliwonawo baliddukira mu nsozi, nga bakaaba nga bukaamukuukulu obw’omu biwonvu, buli omu olw’ebibi bye.
And those of them that escape shall be upon the mountains like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
17 Emikono gyonna giriremala, n’amaviivi gonna galiba ng’amazzi.
All hands shall be feeble, And all knees shall flow with water.
18 Balyambala ebibukutu, ne bakwatibwa ensisi; baliswala, n’emitwe gyabwe girimwebwa.
They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, And horror shall cover them. And upon all their faces shall be shame, And upon all their heads baldness.
19 “‘Balisuula effeeza yaabwe mu nguudo, ne zaabu yaabwe eriba ekitali kirongoofu; effeeza yaabwe ne zaabu yaabwe tebiriyinza kubalokola ku lunaku lwa Mukama olw’obusungu bwe. Era tebalikkuta newaakubadde okukkusibwa. Ebyo bye byabaleetera okugwa mu kibi.
Their silver shall they cast into the streets, And their gold shall be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of Jehovah; Their hunger shall not be satisfied, Nor their body filled with it; For it was the stumbling-block of their iniquity.
20 Ebintu byabwe eby’omuwendo byabaleetera amalala, era ekyavaamu kwe kukola bakatonda abalala ab’emizizo n’ebintu ebirala eby’ekivve, era kyendiva mbifuula ebitali birongoofu gye bali.
For the beauty of their ornaments they turned into pride, And the images of their abominations and of their detestable things they made with it; Therefore will I make it to them as an unclean thing.
21 Ndibiwaayo byonna eri bannamawanga n’eri abakozi b’ebibi ab’omu nsi okuba omunyago era balibyonoona.
And I will give it into the hands of strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the earth for a spoil, And they shall pollute it.
22 Ndikyusa amaaso gange ne si batunuulira, era balyonoona ekifo kyange eky’omuwendo; n’abanyazi balikiyingiramu ne bakyonoona.
And I will turn my face from them, So that my secret place shall be polluted; Robbers shall enter into it, and pollute it.
23 “‘Muteeketeeke enjegere kubanga ensi ejjudde omusango ogw’okuyiwa omusaayi, n’ekibuga kijjudde effujjo.
Make a chain! For the land is full of blood-guiltiness, And the city is full of violence.
24 Ndireeta eggwanga erisingirayo ddala okuba ebbi, ne batwala ennyumba zaabwe, era ndikomya amalala gaabwe n’ebifo byabwe ebitukuvu biryonoonebwa.
Therefore will I bring the most cruel among the nations, And they shall possess your houses; I will also make the pride of the strong to cease, And their holy places shall be defiled.
25 Entiisa bw’erijja, balinoonya emirembe naye tebaligifuna.
Destruction cometh; And they shall seek peace, and not find it.
26 Akabi kalyeyongera ku kabi, ne ŋŋambo ne zeeyongera; balinoonya okwolesebwa okuva eri nnabbi, naye okuyigirizibwa kwa kabona kulibula n’okubuulirira kw’abakadde kulyerabirwa.
Calamity shall come upon calamity, And rumor shall be upon rumor; And they shall seek a vision from the prophet in vain; Instruction shall perish from the priests, And counsel from the elders.
27 Kabaka alikaaba, n’omulangira alijjula obuyinike, n’emikono gy’abantu mu ggwanga girikankana olw’entiisa. Ndibakolako ng’enneeyisa yaabwe bw’eri, era ndibasalira omusango ng’ensala yaabwe bw’eri. Balyoke bamanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.’”
The king shall mourn, And the prince shall be clothed with amazement; And the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them, And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
