111:1 Ez 31:3Ggulawo enzigi zo ggwe Lebanooni,
omuliro gwokye emivule gyo.
211:2 Is 32:19Kaaba ggwe omuberosi, kubanga emivule gigudde!
Emiti emirungi ennyo gyonoonese.
Mukube ebiwoobe mmwe emyera gya Basani,
kubanga ekibira ekikwafu kigudde.
311:3 Yer 2:15; 50:44Wuliriza ebiwoobe by’abasumba,

Wuliriza okuwuluguma kw’empologoma.
Omuddo omulungi oguli ku Yoludaani guzikirizibbwa.
Abasumba Ababiri
4Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wange nti, “Lunda endiga zigejje ezinaatwalibwa okuttibwa. 511:5 Yer 50:7; Ez 34:2-3Abo abazigula bazitta ne batabaako musango. N’abo abazitunda ne bagamba nti, ‘Mukama atenderezebwe ngaggawadde!’ Abasumba baazo bennyini tebazikwatirwa kisa. 611:6 a Zek 14:13 b Is 9:19-21; Yer 13:14; Mi 5:8; 7:2-6Kubanga sikyaddayo kukwatirwa bantu ba nsi eno kisa,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Ndiwaayo buli muntu okugwa mu mikono gya muliraanwa we, ne mu mikono gya kabaka we. Nabo balijooga ensi era sirigiwonya kuva mu mikono gwabwe.”
7Awo ne nunda ekisibo ekyateekebwateekebwa okuttibwa, okusingira ddala ezaali zijoogebwa. Ne ntwala emiggo gy’abasumba ebiri, ogumu ne ngutuuma erinnya Kisa, omulala ne ngutuuma Kwegatta era ne ndiisa endiga. 8Mu mwezi gumu ne neegobako abasumba basatu, emmeeme yange ng’ebakyaye era nabo nga bankyaye. 911:9 Yer 15:2; 43:11Awo ne ndyoka ŋŋamba nti, “Siibeere musumba wammwe, ekinaafa leka kife, ekyokwonooneka kyonooneke, era leka ebyo ebisigaddewo biryaŋŋane, buli kimu kirye kinnaakyo.”
1011:10 a nny 7 b Zab 89:39; Yer 14:21Ne ndyoka nkwata omuggo gwange Kisa ne ngumenya, ne mmenya endagaano gye nnali nkoze n’abantu bonna. 11Endagaano n’agikomya ku lunaku olwo era abasuubuzi b’endiga abaali bandaba ne bamanya nti ekyo kyali kigambo kya Katonda.
1211:12 Kuv 21:32; Mat 26:15Ne ndyoka mbagamba nti, “Bwe kiba nga kisaanidde mu maaso gammwe mumpe empeera yange; naye obanga temusiimye mulekeeyo.” Awo ne bambalira ensimbi eza ffeeza amakumi asatu.
1311:13 Mat 27:9-10*; Bik 1:18-19Awo Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Zisuulire omubumbi,” omuwendo guno ogw’ekitalo gwe bansasula! Kale ne ntwala ensimbi amakumi asatu eza ffeeza ne nzisuulira omubumbi mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
14Awo ne mmenya omuggo gwange ogwokubiri Kwegatta, okulaga nti obumu obwali wakati wa Yuda ne Isirayiri bwali bukomye. 15Mukama n’alyoka aŋŋamba nti, “Twala nate ebintu eby’omusumba omusirusiru bye yandikozesezza. 16Kubanga laba, nze nyimusizza omusumba mu nsi atafaayo ku ndiga ezizikirira era atanoonya zisaasaanye, era atayunga zimenyese wadde okuliisa ennamu, naye alya ensolo ensava ng’aziyuzaako ebinuulo.
1711:17 a Yer 23:1 b Ez 30:21-22 c Yer 23:1“ ‘Zimusanze omusumba wange ataliiko ky’agasa
agayaalirira ekisibo!
Ekitala kifumite omukono gwe ogwa ddyo, kiggyemu n’eriiso lye erya ddyo!
Omukono gwe gukalire ddala,
n’eriiso lye erya ddyo lizibire ddala!’ ”
1Open your doors, Lebanon,
so that fire may devour your cedars!
2Wail, you juniper, for the cedar has fallen;
the stately trees are ruined!
Wail, oaks of Bashan;
the dense forest has been cut down!
3Listen to the wail of the shepherds:
their rich pastures are destroyed!
Listen to the roar of the lions;
the lush thicket of the Jordan is ruined!
Two shepherds
4This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter. 5Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, “Praise the Lord, I am rich!” Their own shepherds do not spare them. 6For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land,’ declares the Lord. ‘I will give everyone into the hands of their neighbours and their king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue anyone from their hands.’
7So I shepherded the flock marked for slaughter, particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favour and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock. 8In one month I got rid of the three shepherds.
The flock detested me, and I grew weary of them 9and said, ‘I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another’s flesh.’
10Then I took my staff called Favour and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations. 11It was revoked on that day, and so the oppressed of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of the Lord.
12I told them, ‘If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.’ So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.
13And the Lord said to me, ‘Throw it to the potter’ – the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the Lord.
14Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the family bond between Judah and Israel.
15Then the Lord said to me, ‘Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hooves.
17‘Woe to the worthless shepherd,
who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm and his right eye!
May his arm be completely withered,
his right eye totally blinded!’
