Ezekiel 5
1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife that shaveth the hair: and cause it to pass over thy head, and over thy beard: and take thee a balance to weigh in, and divide the hair.
“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.
2 A third part thou shalt burn with fire in the midst of the city, according to the fulfilling of the days of the siege: and thou shalt take a third part, and cut it in pieces with the knife all round about: and the other third part thou shalt scatter in the wind, and I will draw out the sword after them.
Ennaku ez’obusibe bwo bwe ziriggwaako, oyokere kimu kya kusatu ku nviiri ezo mu kibuga. Ekimu kya kusatu ekirala okisaasaanye mu mpewo. Ndibagobesa ekitala.
3 And thou shalt take thereof a small number: and shalt bind them in the skirt of thy cloak.
Naye ddira ku miguwa mitono, egy’enviiri ogifundikire mu kyambalo kyo.
4 And thou shalt take of them again, and shalt cast them in the midst of the fire, and shalt burn them with fire: and out of it shall come forth a fire into all the house of Israel.
Ate era ddira mitono ku egyo, ogisuule mu muliro, ogyokye. Omuliro gulibuna ennyumba ya Isirayiri yonna okuva okwo.
5 Thus saith the Lord God: This is Jerusalem, I have set her in the midst of the nations, and the countries round about her.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Eno ye Yerusaalemi gye nateeka wakati mu mawanga, ng’ensi zonna zigyetoolodde.
6 And she hath despised my judgments, so as to be more wicked than the Gentiles; and my commandments, more than the countries that are round about her: for they have cast off my judgments, and have not walked in my commandments.
Naye, boonoonye okusinga amawanga n’ensi abemwetoolodde bwe boonoonye ne bajeemera amateeka n’ebiragiro byange. Ajeemedde amateeka gange, n’atagoberera biragiro byange.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have surpassed the Gentiles that are round about you, and have not walked in my commandments, and have not kept my judgments, and have not done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you:
“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.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, and I myself will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the Gentiles.
“Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nze kennyini ndi mulabe wo, Yerusaalemi, era ndikubonerereza mu maaso g’amawanga.
9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done: and the like to which I will do no more, because of all thy abominations.
Olwa bakatonda bo abalala bonna ab’emizizo, ndikukola ekyo kye sikolanga, era kye siriddayo kukola.
10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers: and I will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter thy whole remnant into every wind.
Bakitaabwe baliriira abaana baabwe mu maaso gammwe, ate n’abaana balirya bakitaabwe, era ndikubonereza ne nsasaanya abalisigalawo eri empewo.
11 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God: Because thou hast violated my sanctuary with all thy offences, and with ail thy abominations: I will also break thee in pieces, and my eye shall not spare, and I will not have any pity.
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.
12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and shall be consumed with famine in the midst of thee: and a third part of thee shall fall by the sword round about thee: and a third part of thee will I scatter into every wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
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.
13 And I will accomplish my fury, and will cause my indignation to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I shall have accomplished my indignation in them.
“Olwo nno obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi kyange birikkakkana, era ndiba nesasuzza. Era bwe ndibasunguwalira balimanya nga nze Mukama nkyogeredde mu buggya.
14 And I will make thee desolate, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of every one that passeth by.
“Ndikufuula ekyazikirira era ekivume mu mawanga agakwetoolodde, mu maaso g’abo bonna abayitawo.
15 And thou shalt be a reproach, and a scoff, an example, and an astonishment amongst the nations that are round about thee, when I shall have executed judgments in thee in anger, and in indignation, and in wrathful rebukes.
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.
16 I the Lord have spoken it: When I shall send upon them the grievous arrows of famine, which shall bring death, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will gather together famine against you: and I will break among you the staff of bread.
Bwe ndirasa obusaale obutta era obuzikiriza obw’ekyeya ndirasa okubazikiriza. Ndyongera okuleeta ekyeya, ne nsalako n’emmere ebaweebwa.
17 And I will send in upon you famine, and evil beasts unto utter destruction: and pestilence, and blood shall pass through thee, and I will bring in the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
Ndibaleetera ekyeya n’ensolo enkambwe ez’omu nsiko, ne zibaleka nga temulina baana. Kawumpuli n’okuyiwa omusaayi biribatuukako, ne mbaleetako ekitala. Nze Mukama nkyogedde.”
