Ezekiel 13
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear the LORD’s word:
“Omwana w’omuntu, yogera ebyobunnabbi eri bannabbi ba Isirayiri aboogera obunnabbi kaakano. Tegeeza abo aboogera obunnabbi bwe bayiiyizza nti, ‘Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama.
3 The Lord GOD says, “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, zibasanze bannabbi abasirusiru abagoberera omwoyo gwabwe ate nga tebalina kye balabye.
4 Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.
Isirayiri, bannabbi bo bali ng’ebibe ebitambulatambula mu bifulukwa.
5 You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the LORD’s day.
Temwambuse kuddaabiriza bbugwe n’okuziba ebituli ebirimu ku lw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, esobole okuyimirira nga ngumu mu lutalo ku lunaku lwa Mukama Katonda.
6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘The LORD says;’ but the LORD has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.
Okwolesebwa kwabwe kukyamu, n’okubikkulirwa kwabwe kwa bulimba. Mukama ne bw’aba tabatumye boogera nti, “bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda,” ne bamusuubira okutuukiriza ebyo bye boogedde.
7 Have not you seen a false vision, and have not you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, ‘The LORD says;’ but I have not spoken?”
Temulabye kwolesebwa kukyamu ne mwogera n’okubikkulirwa okw’obulimba, bwe mwogedde nti, “Mukama bw’ati bw’ayogera,” newaakubadde nga mba soogedde?
8 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,” says the Lord GOD.
“‘Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, olw’ebigambo byo ebikyamu n’olw’okwolesebwa kwo okw’obulimba, ndi mulabe wo.
9 “My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who utter lying divinations. They will not be in the council of my people, neither will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither will they enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
Omukono gwange gulibeera ku bannabbi abalaba okwolesebwa okukyamu era aboogera okubikkulirwa okw’obulimba. Tebalituula mu kibiina eky’abantu bange newaakubadde okuwandiikibwa ku nkalala z’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, wadde okuyingira mu nsi ya Isirayiri. Olwo olimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda.
10 “‘Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, “Peace;” and there is no peace. When one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash.
“‘Olw’okuba nga babuzaabuza abantu bange nga boogera nti, “Mirembe,” ate nga tewali mirembe, ate bwe bazimba bbugwe omunafu, ne basiigako langi okubikka bye batazimbye bulungi,
11 Tell those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, will fall. A stormy wind will tear it.
kyonoova ogamba abo ababikkirira ne langi nti bbugwe aligwa. Enkuba eritonnya nnyo, era ndisindika omuzira, n’embuyaga ez’amaanyi zirikunta.
12 Behold, when the wall has fallen, will not it be said to you, “Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?”
Bbugwe bw’aligwa, abantu tebalikubuuza nti, “Langi gye wasiigako eruwa?”
13 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath. There will be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.
“‘Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Mu kiruyi kyange ndisindika kibuyaga ow’amaanyi, ne mu busungu bwange ndisindika omuzira, ne mu bukambwe obungi enkuba ennyingi ennyo eritonnya okukizikiriza.
14 So I will break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered. It will fall, and you will be consumed in the middle of it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Ndimenya bbugwe gwe mwasiiga langi musaasaanye ku ttaka, n’omusingi gwe gusigale nga gwasaamiridde. Bw’aligwa, alikugwiira n’ozikirizibwa, olyoke omanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.
15 Thus I will accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is no more, nor those who plastered it—
Ndimalira ekiruyi kyange ku bbugwe ne ku abo abaakisiiga langi, nga ŋŋamba nti, “Bbugwe agenze, era abaamusiiga langi nabo balugenze,
16 to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,’” says the Lord GOD.’”
abo bannabbi ba Isirayiri abaayogera eby’obunnabbi eri Yerusaalemi ne balabikirwa okwolesebwa ow’emirembe gye bali, ate nga tewaaliwo mirembe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”’
17 You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,
“Kaakano omwana w’omuntu, amaaso go gateeke ku bawala b’abantu bo aboogera eby’obunnabbi bye bayiiyizza. Bawe obunnabbi, oyogere nti,
18 and say, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all elbows and make veils for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people and save souls alive for yourselves?
‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Zibasanze abakazi abatunga ebikomo eby’obulogo ku mikono gyabwe ne batunga ebyokwebikkirira ku mutwe ebiwanvu mu ngeri ez’enjawulo basobole okutega abantu. Olitega obulamu bw’abantu bange, naye ne weesigaliza obubwo?
19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.’
Onswazizza mu bantu bange olw’embatu entono eza sayiri n’olw’obukunkumuka bw’emigaati, bw’osse abantu abatateekwa kuttibwa, ate n’oleka abatateekwa kuba balamu, ng’obalimba nabo ne bawuliriza eby’obulimba.
20 “Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against your magic bands, with which you hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms. I will let the souls fly free, even the souls whom you ensnare like birds.
“‘Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ndi mulabe w’obulogo bwo, bw’okozesa okuteega abantu ng’ateega ebinyonyi, era ndibaggya mu mikono gyo. Ndinunula abantu be wateega ng’ebinyonyi n’obasiba.
21 I will also tear your veils and deliver my people out of your hand; and they will no longer be in your hand to be ensnared. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Ndiyuza ebyambalo byo ebyokwebikkirira, ne mponya abantu bange mu mikono gyo, ne bataddayo kugwa mu mutego gwa buyinza bwo, olyoke omanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.
22 Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive.
Kubanga wanakuwaza abatuukirivu n’obulimba bwo, ate nga nnali sibanakuwazza. Olw’okuleetera abakozi b’ebibi okweyongera mu ngeri zaabwe ezitali za butuukirivu, n’owonya obulamu bwabwe,
23 Therefore you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
ky’oliva olemwa okulaba okwolesebwa okukyamu wadde okufuna okubikkulirwa. Ndiwonya abantu bange okuva mu mikono gyo, olyokye omanye nga nze Mukama Katonda.’”
