Ezekiel 35
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
“Omwana w’omuntu, tunuulira olusozi Seyiri owe obunnabbi,
3 ‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Nkulinako ensonga, olusozi Seyiri, era ndikugolererako omukono gwange ne nkufuula amatongo.
4 I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Ndifuula ebibuga byo okuba ebifulukwa era olifuuka matongo, omanye nga nze Mukama.’
5 You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
“‘Kubanga wasiba ekiruyi eky’edda n’owaayo Abayisirayiri okuttibwa mu biro mwe baalabira ennaku, mu biro eby’okubonerezebwa kwabwe okwenkomerero,
6 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
nga bwe ndi omulamu, kyendiva mbawaayo muttiŋŋane era okuttiŋŋana kulibalondoola, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Kubanga temwakyawa kuyiwa musaayi, okuyiwa omusaayi kyekuliva kubalondoola.
7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
Ndifuula olusozi Seyiri okuba amatongo, ne nsalako abo bonna abajja n’abagenda.
8 I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
Ndijjuza ensozi zo abafu, n’abattiddwa ekitala baligwa ku busozi bwo, ne mu biwonvu byo, ne mu migga gyo.
9 I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Ndikufuula matongo emirembe gyonna, so tewaliba alibeera mu bibuga byo, olyoke omanye nga nze Mukama.
10 You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
“‘Mwalowooza nga amawanga ga Yuda ne Isirayiri gammwe, era ne mulowooza okugeetwalira. Naye nze ndi Mukama waabwe,
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
era nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, ndibabonereza olw’obusungu n’obuggya bye mwabalaga nga mubakyawa, balyoke bammanye, mmwe bwe ndibasalira omusango.
12 Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
Oluvannyuma olimanya nga nze Mukama mpulidde byonna eby’obunyoomi bye wayogera eri ensozi za Isirayiri. Nagamba nti, “Bafuuse matongo, era baweereddwayo gye tuli okubamalawo.”
13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
Wanneewanirako, n’oteekuma, kyokka ne nkuwulira.
14 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Ensi yonna bw’eriba esanyuka, gwe ndikufuula matongo.
15 You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Olw’okuba nga wasanyuka, omugabo gw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri bwe gwafuuka amatongo nange bwe ntyo bwe ndikukola. Ggwe olusozi Seyiri ne Edomu yonna mulifuuka matongo, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama.’”
