Ezekiel 35
1 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
“Mwanadamu, elekeza uso wako juu ya mlima Seiri, utabiri dhidi yake
3 and tell it, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
na useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Mimi ni kinyume nawe, ee mlima Seiri, nami nitanyoosha mkono wangu dhidi yako na kukufanya ukiwa na usiyekaliwa na watu wala kulimika.
4 I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Nitaifanya miji yako kuwa magofu nawe utakuwa ukiwa. Ndipo utakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
5 “‘“Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
“‘Kwa sababu ulificha moyoni uadui wa siku nyingi nawe ukawatoa Waisraeli wauawe kwa upanga wakati wa maafa yao, wakati adhabu yake ilipofikia kilele chake,
6 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.
kwa hiyo hakika kama niishivyo, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, nitakutia katika umwagaji damu nao utakufuatia. Kwa kuwa hakuchukia kumwaga damu, kumwaga damu kutakufuatia.
7 Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
Nitaufanya Mlima Seiri ukiwa na usiokaliwa na watu wala kulimika na kuukatilia mbali na wote wanaokuja na wanaokwenda.
8 I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.
Nitaijaza milima yenu kwa watu wake waliouawa, wale waliouawa kwa upanga wataanguka juu ya vilima vyako na katika mabonde yako na katika makorongo yako yote.
9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Nitakufanya ukiwa milele, watu hawataishi katika miji yako. Ndipo utakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
10 “‘“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although the LORD was there,
“‘Kwa sababu umesema, “Mataifa haya mawili na nchi hizi zitakuwa zetu nasi tutazimiliki,” ingawa hata mimi Bwana nilikuwa huko,
11 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
kwa hiyo hakika kama niishivyo, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, nitakutenda kwa kadiri ya hasira na wivu uliouonyesha katika chuki yako juu yao nami nitafanya nijulikane miongoni mwao wakati nitakapokuhukumu.
12 You will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’
Ndipo utakapojua kuwa Mimi Bwana nimesikia mambo yote ya dharau uliyosema dhidi ya milima ya Israeli. Ulisema, “Wamefanyika ukiwa na kutiwa mikononi mwetu tuwararue.”
13 You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”
Ulijigamba dhidi yangu na kusema maneno dhidi yangu bila kujizuia, nami nikayasikia.
14 The Lord GOD says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Wakati dunia yote inashangilia nitakufanya ukiwa.
15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
Kwa sababu ulishangilia wakati urithi wa nyumba ya Israeli ulipofanyika ukiwa, hivyo ndivyo nitakavyokutendea. Utakuwa ukiwa, ee mlima Seiri, wewe na Edomu yote. Kisha ndipo watajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
