Ezekiel 30
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 “Son of man, prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Wail, ‘Alas for that day!’
“Mwanadamu, toa unabii na sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Maombolezo. “Ole unakuja siku hiyo.”
3 For the day is near, the Day of the LORD is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.
siku ikaribu. Siku ikaribu kwa ajili ya Yahwe. Itakuwa siku ya mawingu, mda wa hukumu kwa ajili ya mataifa.
4 A sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the slain fall in Egypt, its wealth is taken away, and its foundations are torn down.
Kisha upanga utakuja dhidi ya Misri, na huko kutakuwa na maumivu makali katika Kushi wakati wauaji wa watu watakapoanguka katika Misri-wakati watakapochukua utajiri, na wakati misingi yake itakapoharibiwa.
5 Cush, Put, and Lud, and all the various peoples, as well as Libya and the men of the covenant land, will fall with Egypt by the sword.
Kushi, Putu, na Ludi, na wageni wote, pamoja na watu wa nyumba ya agano-wote wataanguka chini kwa upanga.
6 For this is what the LORD says: The allies of Egypt will fall, and her proud strength will collapse. From Migdol to Syene they will fall by the sword within her,
Yahwe asema hivi: Basi wale wanaoisaidia Misri wataanguka, na kiburi cha uweza wake kitashuka chini. Kutoka Migdoli hata Sewene maaskari wao wataanguka kwa upanga-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
7 They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities.
Wataogofya kati ya nchi zilizotupwa, na miji yao itakuwa miongoni mwa miji yote iliharibika.
8 Then they will know that I am the LORD when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are shattered.
Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe, nitakapouweka moto katika Misri, na wakati wasaidizi wake wote watakapoharibiwa.
9 On that day messengers will go out from Me in ships to frighten Cush out of complacency. Anguish will come upon them on the day of Egypt’s doom. For it is indeed coming.
Katika siku hiyo wajumbe watatoka mbele yangu katika meli ili kuitia hofu Kushi iliyo salama, na kutakuwa na maumivu makali miongoni mwao katika siku ya kuangamizwa Misri. Kwa kuwa tazama! inakuja.
10 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitaufanya mwisho wa watu wa Misri kwa mkono wa Nebukadreza, mfalme wa Babeli.
11 He and his people with him, the most ruthless 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 pamoja naye, hofu ya mataifa, italetwa kuiharibu nchi; watafuta panga zao juu ya Misri na kuijaza nchi pamoja na watu waliokufa.
12 I will make the streams dry up and sell the land to the wicked. By the hands of foreigners I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it.
Nitaifanya mito kuwa nchi kavu, na nitaiuza nchi kwenye mkono wa watu waovu. Nitaifanya nchi na viijazavyo ukiwa kwa mkono wa wageni-mimi, Yahwe, nimesema.
13 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in Egypt, and I will instill fear in that land.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitaziharibu sanamu, na nitaleta mwisho wa sanamu za ubatili za Nofu. Hakutakuwa na mkuu katika Misri, na nitaweka hofu katika nchi ya Misri.
14 I will lay waste Pathros, set fire to Zoan, and execute judgment on Thebes.
Kisha nitaifanya Pathrosi ukiwa na kuweka moto katika Soani, nitatekeleza matendo ya hukumu katika No.
15 I will pour out My wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the crowds of Thebes.
Kwa kuwa nitamwaga ghadhabu yangu juu Sini, ngome ya Misri, na kuwakatilia mbali watu wa mataifa.
16 I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, Thebes will be split open, and Memphis will face daily distress.
Kisha nitaweka moto katika Misri; Sini itakuwa katika dhiki kuu, No itavunjika, na Nofu itakabiliana na maadui kila siku.
17 The young men of On and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and those cities will go into captivity.
Vijana katika Oni na Pi-besethi wataanguka kwa upanga, na miji yao itaenda utumwani.
18 The day will be darkened in Tahpanhes when I break the yoke of Egypt and her proud strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
Huko Tapanesi, siku itabadilika kuwa usiku nitakapo ivunja nira ya Misri huko, na kiburi cha uwezo wake kitaisha. Kutakuwa na wingu likimfunika, na binti zake wataenda utumwani.
19 So I will execute judgment on Egypt, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
Nitatekeleza matendo ya hukumu katika Misri, hivyo watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”'
20 In the eleventh year, on the seventh day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Kisha ikawa katika mwaka wa kumi na moja, katika mwezi wa kwanza, katika siku ya saba ya mwezi, lile neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. See, it has not been bound up for healing, or splinted for strength to hold the sword.
“Mwanadamu, nimeuvunja mkono wa Farao, mfalme wa Misri. Tazama! Haukufungwa, au kufungwa kwa kitambaa cha bendeji ili upone, hivyo basi uweze kuwa imara kushika upanga.
22 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand.
Kwa hiyo Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, 'Tazama, mimi niko juu ya Farao, mfalme wa Misri. Kwa kuwa nitauvunja mkono wake, wote yule aliye hodari na yule aliyevunjika, nitaufanya upanga wangu kuanguka kutoka kwenye mkono wake.
23 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
Kisha nitaitawanya Misri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwatawanya katika nchi mbali mbali.
24 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king and place My sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, who will groan before him like a mortally wounded man.
Nitaunyoosha mikono kwa mfalme wa Babeli na kuweka upanga wangu katika mkono wake ili kwamba niweze kuiharibu mikono ya Farao. Atagugumia mbele ya mfalme wa Babeli kwa mgumio wa mtu anayekufa.
25 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s king, but Pharaoh’s arms will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon’s king, and he wields it against the land of Egypt.
Kwa kuwa nitainyoosha mikono ya mfalme wa Babeli, wakati mkono wa Farao utakapoanguka. Kisha watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe, nitakapoweka upanga wangu kwenye mkono wa mfalme wa Babeli; kwa kuwa ataishambulia nchi ya Misri kwa huo.
26 I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
Hivyo nitaitawanya miongoni mwa mataifa na kuyatawanya kwenye nchi tofauti tofauti. Kisha watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”'
