Ezekiel 30
1 The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 “Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’
“Mwanadamu, toa unabii na useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Ombolezeni ninyi na mseme, “Ole wa siku ile!”
3 For the day is near, even the LORD’s day is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.
Kwa kuwa siku ile imekaribia, siku ya Bwana imekaribia, siku ya mawingu, siku ya maangamizi kwa mataifa.
4 A sword will come on Egypt, and anguish will be in Ethiopia, when the slain fall in Egypt. They take away her multitude, and her foundations are broken down.
Upanga utakuja dhidi ya Misri, nayo maumivu makuu yataijia Ethiopia. Mauaji yatakapoangukia Misri, utajiri wake utachukuliwa na misingi yake itabomolewa.
5 “‘“Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all the mixed people, Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, will fall with them by the sword.”
Kushi na Putu, Ludi na Arabia yote, Libya na watu wa nchi ya Agano watauawa kwa upanga pamoja na Misri.
6 “‘The LORD says: “They also who uphold Egypt will fall. The pride of her power will come down. They will fall by the sword in it from the tower of Seveneh,” says the Lord GOD.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: “‘Wale walioungana na Misri wataanguka na kiburi cha nguvu zake kitashindwa. Kutoka Migdoli hadi Aswani, watauawa ndani yake kwa upanga, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
7 “They will be desolate in the middle of the countries that are desolate. Her cities will be among the cities that are wasted.
“‘Hizo nchi zitakua ukiwa miongoni mwa nchi zilizo ukiwa, nayo miji yao itakuwa magofu miongoni mwa miji iliyo magofu.
8 They will know that I am the LORD when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
Ndipo watakapojua kwamba mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapoiwasha Misri moto na wote wamsaidiao watapondwa.
9 “‘“In that day messengers will go out from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid. There will be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, behold, it comes.”
“‘Siku hiyo wajumbe watatoka kwangu kwa merikebu, ili kuwatia hofu Ethiopia, wakiwa katika hali yao ya kuridhika. Maumivu makali yatawapata siku ya maangamizi ya Misri, kwa kuwa hakika itakuja.
10 “‘The Lord GOD says: “I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Nitakomesha makundi ya wajeuri ya Misri kwa mkono wa Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli.
11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
Yeye na jeshi lake, taifa lililo katili kuliko mataifa yote, litaletwa ili kuangamiza nchi. Watafuta panga zao dhidi ya Misri na kuijaza nchi kwa waliouawa.
12 I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men. I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of foreigners. I, the LORD, have spoken it.”
Nitakausha vijito vya Naili na nitaiuza nchi kwa watu waovu, kwa mkono wa wageni, nitaifanya nchi ukiwa na kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake. Mimi Bwana nimenena haya.
13 “‘The Lord GOD says: “I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis. There will be no more a prince from the land of Egypt. I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Nitaangamiza sanamu na kukomesha vinyago katika Memfisi Hapatakuwepo tena na mkuu katika nchi ya Misri, nami nitaeneza hofu katika nchi nzima.
14 I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.
Nitaifanya Pathrosi kuwa ukiwa na kuitia moto Soani, nami nitaipiga kwa adhabu Thebesi
15 I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt. I will cut off the multitude of No.
Nitaimwaga ghadhabu yangu juu ya Pelusiumu, ngome ya Misri, nami nitakatilia mbali makundi ya wajeuri wa Thebesi.
16 I will set a fire in Egypt Sin will be in great anguish. No will be broken up. Memphis will have adversaries in the daytime.
Nitaitia moto nchi ya Misri; Pelusiumu itagaagaa kwa maumivu makuu. Thebesi itachukuliwa na tufani, Memfisi itakuwa katika taabu daima.
17 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth will fall by the sword. They will go into captivity.
Wanaume vijana wa Oni na wa Pi-Besethi wataanguka kwa upanga nayo hiyo miji itatekwa.
18 At Tehaphnehes also the day will withdraw itself, when I break the yokes of Egypt there. The pride of her power will cease in her. As for her, a cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
Huko Tahpanhesi mchana utatiwa giza nitakapovunja kongwa la Misri; hapo kiburi cha nguvu zake kitakoma. Atafunikwa na mawingu na vijiji vyake vitatekwa.
19 Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”’”
Kwa hiyo nitaipiga Misri kwa adhabu, nao watajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
20 In the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Katika mwaka wa kumi na moja, mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya saba, neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Behold, it has not been bound up, to apply medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it may become strong to hold the sword.
“Mwanadamu, nimevunja mkono wa Farao mfalme wa Misri. Haukufungwa ili upone au kuwekewa kipande cha ubao ili upate nguvu za kuweza kuchukua upanga.
22 Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken. I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Mimi ni kinyume na Farao mfalme wa Misri. Nitavunja mikono yake yote miwili, ule mkono ulio mzima pia na ule uliovunjika na kuufanya upanga uanguke toka mkononi mwake.
23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Nitawatawanya Wamisri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwafukuza huku na huko katika nchi zote.
24 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand; but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before the king of Babylon with the groaning of a mortally wounded man.
Nitaitia nguvu mikono ya mfalme wa Babeli na kuutia upanga wangu mkononi mwake, lakini nitavunja mikono ya Farao, naye atalia kwa huzuni mbele yake kama mtu aliyetiwa jeraha la kumfisha.
25 I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh will fall down. Then they will know that I am the LORD when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he stretches it out on the land of Egypt.
Nitaitia nguvu mikono ya mfalme wa Babeli, lakini mikono ya Farao italegea. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapoutia upanga wangu mkononi mwa mfalme wa Babeli, naye ataunyoosha dhidi ya Misri.
26 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
Nitawatawanya Wamisri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwafukuza huku na huko katika nchi mbalimbali. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
