Ezekiel 36
1 You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, “You mountains of Israel, hear Yahweh’s word.
“Omwana w’omuntu, yogera obunnabbi eri ensozi za Isirayiri, ogambe nti, Mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama.
2 The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because the enemy has said against you, “Aha!” and, “The ancient high places are ours in possession!”’
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, omulabe yayogera nti, ‘Otyo, ensozi ez’edda kaakano zaffe.’
3 therefore prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;”
Kyemwava muwa obunnabbi ne mwogera nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kubanga baabacocca ne babayigganya enjuuyi zonna amawanga amalala ne gabeetwalira, era ne mufuuka eky’okwogerwako era ne baboogerako eby’obulimba,
4 therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
kyemunaava muwulira ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti eri ensozi n’obusozi, n’eri enzizi n’ebiwonvu, n’eri ebifulukwa n’ebibuga ebyafuuka amatongo ebyanyagibwa ne bifuuka eby’okusekererwa eri amawanga gonna okwetooloola
5 therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.”’
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti; Njogerera mu busungu bwange obungi eri amawanga amalala n’eri Edomu yonna, abajjula okusanyuka n’ettima mu mitima gyabwe, ne baddira ensi yange ne bagifuula eyaabwe banyage obugagga bwayo.’
6 Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains, the hills, the watercourses and the valleys, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations.”
Kyonoova owa obunnabbi eri ensi ya Isirayiri n’oyogera eri ensozi n’obusozi, n’eri enzizi n’ebiwonvu nti, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Njogera nga nzijudde obuggya n’obusungu kubanga mwasekererwa nnyo amawanga.
7 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “I have sworn, ‘Surely the nations that are around you will bear their shame.’
Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Ndayira nti amawanga agabeetoolodde nago galisekererwa.
8 “‘“But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot out your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
“‘Naye mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri mulireeta amatabi gammwe ne mubalira abantu bange Isirayiri ebibala byammwe kubanga banaatera okudda ewaabwe.
9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will come to you, and you will be tilled and sown.
Mbalumirwa era ndibatunuulira n’ekisa, era abalimi balikabala ettaka lyammwe ne basigamu ensigo,
10 I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. The cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be built.
era ndibaaza mmwe, ennyumba yonna eya Isirayiri. Ebibuga birituulwamu, n’ebyali ebifulukwa biriddaabirizibwa.
11 I will multiply man and animal on you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before, and you will do better than at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
Ndyaza abantu n’ensolo, era abantu balyeyongera n’ensolo ne zeeyongera. Ndibazzaayo mu bifo byammwe eby’edda, era ndibakolera ebirungi ebisingawo ku bye nabakolera, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama.
12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will never again bereave them of their children.”
Ndikkiriza abantu bange, Isirayiri babatambulireko, era balibeddiza, nammwe muliba mugabo gwabwe nga temukyaddamu kubaggyako baana baabwe.
13 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;’
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kubanga abantu baboogerako nti, “Musaanyaawo abantu ne mumalawo ezzadde lye ggwanga lyammwe,”
14 therefore you shall devour men no more, and not bereave your nation any more,” says the Lord Yahweh.
kyemuliva mutaddayo kusaanyaawo bantu newaakubadde okubamalako ezzadde ly’eggwanga lyo, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
15 “I won’t let you hear the shame of the nations any more. You won’t bear the reproach of the peoples any more, and you won’t cause your nation to stumble any more,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
Toliwulira nate okusekererwa kw’amawanga newaakubadde okunyoomebwa wadde eggwanga lyo okugwa, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
16 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Nate ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and by their deeds. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
“Omwana w’omuntu, abantu ba Isirayiri bwe baaberanga mu nsi yaabwe, baagyonoona olw’empisa zaabwe n’ebikolwa byabwe, era n’ebikolwa byabwe byali ng’obutali bulongoofu obw’omukazi mu biseera bye.
18 Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.
Olw’omusaayi gwe baayiwa mu nsi, ate n’olw’okusinza bakatonda abalala kwe beeyonoonyesa, kyennava mbayiwako ekiruyi kyange.
19 I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their deeds.
Naye mbasaasaanyiza mu mawanga, ne basaasaana mu nsi. Era nabasalira omusango ng’empisa zaabwe n’ebikolwa byabwe bwe byali.
20 When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, ‘These are Yahweh’s people, and have left his land.’
Buli gye baagendanga mu mawanga baaswazanga erinnya lyange ettukuvu, kubanga kyayogerwanga nti, ‘Bano bantu ba Mukama, naye baagobebwa mu nsi ye.’
21 But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.
Nafaayo ku linnya lyange ettukuvu, ennyumba ya Isirayiri lye yaswaza mu mawanga gye baagenda.
22 “Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.
“Kale nno gamba ennyumba ya Isirayiri nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: Ggwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri bino sibikola ku lulwo, naye ku lw’erinnya lyange ettukuvu lye mwavumisa mu mawanga gye mwagenda.
23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh,” says the Lord Yahweh, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes.
Ndiraga obutukuvu bw’erinnya lyange ekkulu, eryavumisibwa mu mawanga, erinnya lye mwavumisa mu bo, era amawanga galimanya nga nze Mukama, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, bwe ndyolesa obutukuvu bwange mu mmwe mu maaso gaabwe.
24 “‘“For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
“‘Ndibaggya mu mawanga ne mbakuŋŋaanya okuva mu nsi zonna ne mbakomyawo mu nsi yammwe.
25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
Ndibamaansirako amazzi amayonjo, era ndibaggyako obutali bulongoofu bwammwe bwonna n’okuva ku bakatonda abalala bonna, ne mbafuula abalongoofu.
26 I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Ndibawa omutima omuggya era ne nteeka n’omwoyo omuggya mu mmwe. Ndibaggyamu omutima ogw’ejjinja ne mbawa omutima ogw’ennyama.
27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.
Era ndibawa Omwoyo wange alibakubiriza okugoberera ebiragiro byange n’okukuuma obulungi amateeka gange.
28 You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Mulibeera mu nsi gye nawa bajjajjammwe, nammwe mulibeera bantu bange, nange ne mbeera Katonda wammwe.
29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.
Ndibalokola mu butali bulongoofu bwammwe bwonna, era nditumya emmere ey’empeke ne ngyaza nnyo muleme okulumwa enjala.
30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
Ndyaza ebibala eby’oku miti n’ebimera eby’omu nnimiro, nga temukyasekererwa nate mu mawanga olw’enjala.
31 “‘“Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Olwo mulijjukira amakubo gammwe amabi n’ebikolwa byammwe ebitali birungi, era mulyetamwa olw’ebibi byammwe n’olw’ebikolwa byammwe eby’emizizo.
32 I don’t do this for your sake,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel.”
Mukimanye ng’ebyo sibikola ku lwammwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Muswale olw’ebikolwa byammwe, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
33 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be built.
“‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: Ku lunaku lwe ndibanaalizaako ebibi byammwe byonna, abantu balidda mu bibuga byammwe n’ebifulukwa biriddaabirizibwa.
34 The land that was desolate will be tilled instead of being a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
Ensi eyazika eririmibwa, ereme kuba nga bwe yali mu maaso gaabo bonna abaagiyitangamu.
35 They will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The waste, desolate, and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.’
Balyogera nti, “Ensi eno eyali ezise, kaakano efuuse ng’ennimiro Adeni, n’ebifulukwa n’ebibuga ebyali bifuuse amatongo, kaakano mulimu ababibeeramu, era biriko ne bbugwe.”
36 Then the nations that are left around you will know that I, Yahweh, have built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and I will do it.”
Olwo n’amawanga agaasigalawo agabeetoolodde galimanya nga nze Mukama, naddaabiriza ebyayonoonebwa, n’ennimiro n’ebyali bizise. Nze Mukama nkyogedde, era ndikituukiriza.’
37 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “For this, moreover, I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti: Nate ndiwuliriza ennyumba ya Isirayiri ne mbakolera kino, era ndyaza abantu baabwe babeere bangi ng’ekisibo ky’endiga.
38 As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the waste cities will be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’”
Balyala ng’ebisibo eby’endiga ez’okuweebwayo e Yerusaalemi ku mbaga ezaalagirwa, era n’ebibuga ebyali amatongo ndibijjuza ebibinja by’abantu. Kale balimanya nga nze Mukama.”
