36 “Omwana w’omuntu, yogera obunnabbi eri ensozi za Isirayiri, ogambe nti, Mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri, muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama. (A)Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, omulabe yayogera nti, ‘Otyo, ensozi ez’edda kaakano zaffe.’ (B)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, (C)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 (D)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.’ (E)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. Mukama Katonda kyava ayogera nti, Ndayira nti amawanga agabeetoolodde nago galisekererwa.

(F)“ ‘Naye mmwe ensozi za Isirayiri mulireeta amatabi gammwe ne mubalira abantu bange Isirayiri ebibala byammwe kubanga banaatera okudda ewaabwe. Mbalumirwa era ndibatunuulira n’ekisa, era abalimi balikabala ettaka lyammwe ne basigamu ensigo, 10 (G)era ndibaaza mmwe, ennyumba yonna eya Isirayiri. Ebibuga birituulwamu, n’ebyali ebifulukwa biriddaabirizibwa. 11 (H)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 (I)Ndikkiriza abantu bange, Isirayiri babatambulireko, era balibeddiza, nammwe muliba mugabo gwabwe nga temukyaddamu kubaggyako baana baabwe.

13 (J)“ ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kubanga abantu baboogerako nti, “Musaanyaawo abantu ne mumalawo ezzadde lye ggwanga lyammwe,” 14 kyemuliva mutaddayo kusaanyaawo bantu newaakubadde okubamalako ezzadde ly’eggwanga lyo, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. 15 (K)Toliwulira nate okusekererwa kw’amawanga newaakubadde okunyoomebwa wadde eggwanga lyo okugwa, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’ ”

16 Nate ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti, 17 (L)“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 (M)Olw’omusaayi gwe baayiwa mu nsi, ate n’olw’okusinza bakatonda abalala kwe beeyonoonyesa, kyennava mbayiwako ekiruyi kyange. 19 (N)Naye mbasaasaanyiza mu mawanga, ne basaasaana mu nsi. Era nabasalira omusango ng’empisa zaabwe n’ebikolwa byabwe bwe byali. 20 (O)Buli gye baagendanga mu mawanga baaswazanga erinnya lyange ettukuvu, kubanga kyayogerwanga nti, ‘Bano bantu ba Mukama, naye baagobebwa mu nsi ye.’ 21 (P)Nafaayo ku linnya lyange ettukuvu, ennyumba ya Isirayiri lye yaswaza mu mawanga gye baagenda.

22 (Q)“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 (R)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 (S)“ ‘Ndibaggya mu mawanga ne mbakuŋŋaanya okuva mu nsi zonna ne mbakomyawo mu nsi yammwe. 25 (T)Ndibamaansirako amazzi amayonjo, era ndibaggyako obutali bulongoofu bwammwe bwonna n’okuva ku bakatonda abalala bonna, ne mbafuula abalongoofu. 26 (U)Ndibawa omutima omuggya era ne nteeka n’omwoyo omuggya mu mmwe. Ndibaggyamu omutima ogw’ejjinja ne mbawa omutima ogw’ennyama. 27 (V)Era ndibawa Omwoyo wange alibakubiriza okugoberera ebiragiro byange n’okukuuma obulungi amateeka gange. 28 (W)Mulibeera mu nsi gye nawa bajjajjammwe, nammwe mulibeera bantu bange, nange ne mbeera Katonda wammwe. 29 (X)Ndibalokola mu butali bulongoofu bwammwe bwonna, era nditumya emmere ey’empeke ne ngyaza nnyo muleme okulumwa enjala. 30 (Y)Ndyaza ebibala eby’oku miti n’ebimera eby’omu nnimiro, nga temukyasekererwa nate mu mawanga olw’enjala. 31 (Z)Olwo mulijjukira amakubo gammwe amabi n’ebikolwa byammwe ebitali birungi, era mulyetamwa olw’ebibi byammwe n’olw’ebikolwa byammwe eby’emizizo. 32 (AA)Mukimanye ng’ebyo sibikola ku lwammwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Muswale olw’ebikolwa byammwe, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri.

33 “ ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: Ku lunaku lwe ndibanaalizaako ebibi byammwe byonna, abantu balidda mu bibuga byammwe n’ebifulukwa biriddaabirizibwa. 34 Ensi eyazika eririmibwa, ereme kuba nga bwe yali mu maaso gaabo bonna abaagiyitangamu. 35 (AB)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 (AC)Olwo n’amawanga agaasigalawo agabeetoolodde galimanya nga nze Mukama, naddaabiriza ebyayonoonebwa, n’ennimiro n’ebyali bizise. Nze Mukama nkyogedde, era ndikituukiriza.’

37 “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 (AD)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.”

Hope for the Mountains of Israel

36 “Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel(A) and say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says:(B) The enemy said of you, “Aha!(C) The ancient heights(D) have become our possession.(E)”’ Therefore prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because they ravaged(F) and crushed you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and the object of people’s malicious talk and slander,(G) therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord: This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys,(H) to the desolate ruins(I) and the deserted(J) towns that have been plundered and ridiculed(K) by the rest of the nations around you(L) this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my burning(M) zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.’(N) Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations.(O) Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I swear with uplifted hand(P) that the nations around you will also suffer scorn.(Q)

“‘But you, mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit(R) for my people Israel, for they will soon come home. I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown,(S) 10 and I will cause many people to live on you—yes, all of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins(T) rebuilt.(U) 11 I will increase the number of people and animals living on you, and they will be fruitful(V) and become numerous. I will settle people(W) on you as in the past(X) and will make you prosper more than before.(Y) Then you will know that I am the Lord. 12 I will cause people, my people Israel, to live on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance;(Z) you will never again deprive them of their children.

13 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because some say to you, “You devour people(AA) and deprive your nation of its children,” 14 therefore you will no longer devour people or make your nation childless, declares the Sovereign Lord. 15 No longer will I make you hear the taunts of the nations, and no longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples or cause your nation to fall, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AB)’”

Israel’s Restoration Assured

16 Again the word of the Lord came to me: 17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their conduct and their actions. Their conduct was like a woman’s monthly uncleanness(AC) in my sight.(AD) 18 So I poured out(AE) my wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land and because they had defiled it with their idols. 19 I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered(AF) through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions.(AG) 20 And wherever they went among the nations they profaned(AH) my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the Lord’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’(AI) 21 I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.(AJ)

22 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name,(AK) which you have profaned(AL) among the nations where you have gone.(AM) 23 I will show the holiness of my great name,(AN) which has been profaned(AO) among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord,(AP) declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy(AQ) through you before their eyes.(AR)

24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.(AS) 25 I will sprinkle(AT) clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse(AU) you from all your impurities(AV) and from all your idols.(AW) 26 I will give you a new heart(AX) and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone(AY) and give you a heart of flesh.(AZ) 27 And I will put my Spirit(BA) in you and move you to follow my decrees(BB) and be careful to keep my laws.(BC) 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people,(BD) and I will be your God.(BE) 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine(BF) upon you. 30 I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.(BG) 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices.(BH) 32 I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed(BI) and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel!(BJ)

33 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day I cleanse(BK) you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins(BL) will be rebuilt.(BM) 34 The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. 35 They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden;(BN) the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.(BO) 36 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’(BP)

37 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Once again I will yield to Israel’s plea(BQ) and do this for them: I will make their people as numerous as sheep,(BR) 38 as numerous as the flocks for offerings(BS) at Jerusalem during her appointed festivals. So will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(BT)
