Ezekiel 32
1 In the twelfth year, on the first day of the twelfth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Kisha ikawa katika mwezi wa kumi na mbili wa mwaka wa kumi na mbili, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, lile neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 “Son of man, take up a lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: ‘You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a monster in the seas. You thrash about in your rivers, churning up the waters with your feet and muddying the streams.’
“Mwanadamu, inua maombolezo kuhusu Farao mfalme wa Misri; mwambie, 'Wewe ni kama simba mdogo juu ya mataifa, lakini kama jitu la kutisha, unatoka kwenye maji, unayachafua maji kwa miguu yako na kuyachafua maji yao.
3 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will spread My net over you with a company of many peoples, and they will draw you up in My net.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Basi nitautandaza wavu wangu juu yako katika kusanyiko la watu wengi, na watawainua juu katika wavu wangu.
4 I will abandon you on the land and hurl you into the open field. I will cause all the birds of the air to settle upon you, and all the beasts of the earth to eat their fill of you.
Nitakuacha katika nchi. Nitakutupa kwenye shamba na kufanya ndege wote wa angani watue juu yako; njaa ya wanyama wote waishio juu ya nchi watashibishwa na wewe.
5 I will put your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.
Kwa kuwa nitaiweka nyama yako juu ya milima, na nitayajaza mabonde kwa funza wako waliokufa.
6 I will drench the land with the flow of your blood, all the way to the mountains— the ravines will be filled.
Kisha nitamwaga damu yako juu ya milima, na vitanda vya kijito vitajazwa kwa damu yako.
7 When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.
Kisha wakati nitakapokuzimisha, nitazifunika mbingu na kuzitia giza nyota zake; nitalifunika jua kwa mawingu, na mwezi hautatoa nuru yake usiku.
8 All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,’
Mianga ya mbinguni nitaiweka giza juu yako, na nitaweka giza juu ya nchi-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe.
9 ‘I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, in countries you do not know.
Hivyo nitaitisha mioyo ya watu wengi katika nchi ambao huwajui, wakati nitakapoleta kuhusu uvunjifu miongoni mwa mataifa, miongoni mwa nchi ambazo hukuzijua.
10 I will cause many peoples to be appalled over you, and their kings will shudder in horror because of you when I brandish My sword before them. On the day of your downfall each of them will tremble every moment for his life.’
Nitawashangaza watu wengi kuhusiana na wewe; wafalme wao watatetemeka kwa hofu kuhusiana na wewe nitakapoutikisa upanga wangu mbele yao. Kila wakati kila mmoja atatetemeka kwa sababu yako, katika siku ya kuanguka kwako.
11 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you!
Kwa kuwa Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Upanga wa mfalme wa Babeli utakuja juu yako.
12 I will make your hordes fall by the swords of the mighty, the most ruthless of all nations. They will ravage the pride of Egypt and all her multitudes will be destroyed.
Nitawafanya watu wako kuanguka kwa panga za mashujaa-kila shujaa ni tishio la mataifa. Hawa mashujaa watateketeza kiburi cha Misri na kuangamiza watu wake wote.
13 I will slaughter all her cattle beside the abundant waters. No human foot will muddy them again, and no cattle hooves will disturb them.
Kwa kuwa nitaiharibu mifugo yote kutoka karibu na maji mengi; na mguu wa mtu hautayatibua tena, wala kwato za wanyama hazitayatibua.
14 Then I will let her waters settle and will make her rivers flow like oil,’
Kisha nitayafanya maji yao kuwa matulivu na kufanya mito yao kukimbia kama mafuta-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe.
15 ‘When I make the land of Egypt a desolation and empty it of all that filled it, when I strike down all who live there, then they will know that I am the LORD.’
Wakati nitakapoifanya nchi ya Misri sehemu iliyojitenga, wakati nchi iliyopungukiwa na vitu viijazavyo, wakati nitakapo washambulia wakaao ndani yake, watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
16 This is the lament they will chant for her; the daughters of the nations will chant it. Over Egypt and all her multitudes they will chant it, declares the Lord GOD.”
Kutakuwa na maombolezo; binti za mataifa wataomboleza juu yake; wataomboleza juu ya Misri, juu ya watu wake wote wataomboleza-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”'
17 In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Kisha ikawa katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi, lile neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
18 “Son of man, wail for the multitudes of Egypt, and consign her and the daughters of the mighty nations to the depths of the earth with those who descend to the Pit:
“Mwanadamu, omboleza kwa ajili watu wa misri na walete chini-yeye na binti za mataifa mashuhuri-hata chini ya dunia pamoja na wale walioshuka chini kwenye shimo.
19 Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down and be placed with the uncircumcised!
'Je! wewe ni mzuri zaidi kuliko mtu mwingine yeyote? Nenda chini na lala chini pamoja na wasiotahiriwa.'
20 They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.
Wataanguka miongoni mwao waliokuwa wameuawa kwa upanga. Upanga ulikuwa umewekwa! Alikuwa amepatiwa upanga; watamkamata na watu wake.
21 Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’ (Sheol h7585)
Hodari wa wapiganaji katika Sheoli atasema kuhusu Misri na rafiki zake, 'Wameshuka chini hapa! Watalala pamoja na wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale waliokuwa wameuawa kwa upanga.' (Sheol h7585)
22 Assyria is there with her whole company; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.
Ashuru yupo huko pamoja na kusanyiko lake. Makaburi yake yamemzunguka; wote waliuawa kwa upanga.
23 Her graves are set in the depths of the Pit, and her company is all around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword— those who once spread terror in the land of the living.
Wale ambao makaburi yao yamewekwa katika maficho ya mashimo yaliyo huko, pamoja na kusanyiko lake. Makaburi yake yakiwazunguka wote waliokuwa wameuawa, walioanguka kwa upanga, wale walioleta hofu juu ya nchi ya walio hai.
24 Elam is there with all her multitudes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword— those who went down uncircumcised to the earth below, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
Elamu yupo huko pamoja na watu wake wote. Makaburi yake yamemzunguka; wote walikuwa wameuawa. Wale walioawa kwa upanga, walioshuka chini wasiotahiriwa hata sehemu ya chini kabisa ya dunia, waliowatia hofu juu ya nchi ya walio hai na wale waliobeba aibu yao wenyewe, pamoja na wale washukao chini kwenye shimo.
25 Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.
Wamemuwekea kitanda kwa ajili ya Elamu na watu wake wote kati ya wachinjaji; kaburi lake limemzunguka. Wote hawajatahiriwa, kukatwa vipande kwa upanga, kwa sababu waliwaleta mashujaa wao juu ya nchi ya walio hai. Hivyo wamechukua aibu yao wenyewe, pamoja na wale washukao kwenye shimo miongoni mwa wote waliouawa, wale washukao kwenda shimoni. Elamu yu miongoni mwa wale waliokuwa wameuawa.
26 Meshech and Tubal are there with all their multitudes, with their graves all around them. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
Mesheki, Tubali, na watu wake wote wako huko! Makaburi yao yamewazunguka. Wote hawajatahiriwa, wameuawa kwa upanga, kwa sababu walileta utiisho wao juu ya nchi ya walio hai.
27 They do not lie down with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
Wasilale pamoja mashujaa walioanguka wa wasiotahiriwa walioshuka chini kwa Sheoli pamoja na silaha zao zote za vita, na pamoja na panga zao zote walizoziweka chini ya vichwa vyao na maovu yao juu ya mifupa yao. Kwa kuwa walikuwa tishio kwa mashujaa katika nchi ya walio hai. (Sheol h7585)
28 But you too will be shattered and lie down among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.
Basi wewe, Misri, utavunjika kati yao wasiotahiriwa! Utalala karibu nao waliokuwa wamekatwa vipande vipande kwa upanga.
29 Edom is there, and all her kings and princes, who despite their might are laid among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.
Edomu yuko huko na wafalme na viongozi wake wote. Walikuwa wamehifadhiwa katika uwezo wao pamoja na wale walioawa kwa upanga. Pamoja na wasiotahiriwa wamelala, pamoja na wale walioshuka kwenye shimo.
30 All the leaders of the north and all the Sidonians are there; they went down in disgrace with the slain, despite the terror of their might. They lie uncircumcised with those slain by the sword and bear their shame with those who descend to the Pit.
Wakuu wa kaskazini wako huko-wote na Wasidoni wote walioshuka chini pamoja na hao waliokuwa wamekatwa vipande vipande. Walikuwa na nguvu na kuwafanya wengine kuogopa, lakini sasa wako huko kwa aibu, wasiotahiriwa pamoja na wale waliokatwa vipande vipande kwa upanga. Wamebeba aibu yao wenyewe, pamoja nao waendao kwenye shimo.
31 Pharaoh will see them and be comforted over all his multitude— Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword,
Farao ataona na kupata faraja kuhusu kundi lake waliokatwa vipande vipande kwa upanga -Farao na jeshi lake lote-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
32 For I will spread My terror in the land of the living, so that Pharaoh and all his multitude will be laid to rest among the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword,
Natamuweka kama utiisho wangu katika nchi ya walio hai, lakini atakuwa amelazwa chini katikati yao wasiotahiriwa, miongoni mwa wale walio katwa vipande kwa upanga, Farao na makundi yake yote-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
