Ezekiel 7
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Neno la Yahwe likanijia, likisema,
2 And you, son of man, say, This is what the Lord has said to the land of Israel: An end has come, the end has come on the four quarters of the land.
Wewe, mwanadamu-Bwana Yahwe asema hivi kwa nchi ya Israeli.”'Mwisho! Mwisho umekuja kwenye mipaka minne ya nchi.
3 Now the end has come on you, and I will send my wrath on you, judging you for your ways, I will send punishment on you for all your disgusting acts.
Sasa mwisho uko juu yako, kwa kuwa natuma ghadhabu yangu juu yako, nitakuhukumu kulingana na njia zako; nitaleta machukizo yako yote juu yako.
4 My eye will not have mercy on you, and I will have no pity: but I will send the punishment of your ways on you, and your disgusting works will be among you: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Kwa kuwa macho yangu hayatakuhurumia, na sitakuharibu. Badala yake, nitaleta njia zako zote juu yako, na machukizo yako yote yatakuwa katikati yako, hivyo utajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
5 This is what the Lord has said: An evil, even one evil; see, it is coming.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Msiba! Msiba wa pekee! Tazama, unakuja.
6 An end has come, the end has come; see, it is coming on you.
Mwisho unakuja hakika. Mwisho umeamsha dhidi yenu. Tazama! unakuja!
7 The crowning time has come on you, O people of the land: the time has come, the day is near; the day will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
Kifo chako kinakuja kwako ukaaye kwenye nchi. Mda umefika; siku ya uharibifu iko karibu, na milima haitakuwa na shangwe tena.
8 Now, in a little time, I will let loose my passion on you, and give full effect to my wrath against you, judging you for your ways, and sending punishment on you for all your disgusting works.
Sasa baada ya mda mfupi nitamwaga dhahabu yangu juu yako na kujaza hasira yangu juu yako wakati nitakapokuhukumu kulingana na njia zako na kuleta machukizo yako yote juu yako.
9 My eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity: I will send on you the punishment of your ways, and your disgusting works will be among you; and you will see that I am the Lord who gives punishment.
Kwa kuwa jicho langu halitaona kwa huruma, sitakuharibu, kama ulivyofanya, nitafanya kwako; na machukizo yako yatakuwa katikati yako hivyo utajua kwamba ni mimi Yahwe, anayekuadhibu.
10 See, the day; see, it is coming: the crowning time has gone out; the twisted way is flowering, pride has put out buds.
Tazama, siku! Tazama, inakuja! Kifo kimetoka! fimbo ya kuadhibia imechanua, kiburi kimechipua!
11 Violent behaviour has been lifted up into a rod of evil; it will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.
Udhalimu umekua kwenye fimbo ya udhaifu-hakuna kati yao, na hakuna katika ya kundi lao, hakuna katika utajiri wao, na hakuna wa muhimu wao atakaye baki!
12 The time has come, the day is near: let not him who gives a price for goods be glad, or him who gets the price have sorrow:
Muda unakuja; siku imekaribia. Usimuache anayenunua shangwe, wala asihuzunike auzaye, kwa kuwa hasira yangu iko juu ya kikundi kizima!
13 For the trader will not go back to the things for which he had his price, even while he is still living:
Kwa kuwa muuzaji hatarudia kile kilichouzwa, kadiri wanapoendelea kuishi, kwa kuwa maono yako juu yako kikundi kizima. Hawatarudi, kwa kuwa hakuna mtu anayeishi kwenye dhambi atakayejitia nguvu!
14 And he who has given a price for goods will not get them, for my wrath is on all of them.
Wamepiga tarumbeta na kufanya kila kitu tayari, lakini hakuna mtu anayeenda kupigana; kwa kuwa hasira yangu iko juu ya kundi zima.
15 Outside is the sword, and inside disease and need of food: he who is in the open country will be put to the sword; he who is in the town will come to his end through need of food and disease.
Upanga uko nje, na tauni na njaa viko nje kwenye jengo. Wale walioko shambani watakufa kwa upanga, wakati njaa na tauni zitakapowala wale waliopo kwenye mji.
16 And those of them who get away safely will go and be in the secret places like the doves of the valleys, all of them will come to death, every one in his sin.
Lakini watakao salia watatoroka kutoka miongoni mwao, na watakwenda kwenye milima. Kama hua wa mabondeni, wote watalia-kila mtu kwa ajili ya uovu wake.
17 All hands will be feeble and all knees without strength, like water.
Kila mkono utasita na kila goti litakuwa dhaifu kama maji, na watavaa nguo za magunia, na hofu kuu itawafunika,
18 And they will put haircloth round them, and deep fear will be covering them; and shame will be on all faces, and the hair gone from all their heads.
na aibu itakuwa juu ya kila uso, na upara juu ya vichwa vyao vyote.
19 They will put out their silver into the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they will not get their desire or have food for their need: because it has been the cause of their falling into sin.
Watatupa fedha yao kwenye mitaa na dhahabu yao itakuwa kama jalala. Fedha yao na dhahabu yao haitaweza kuwaokoa katika siku ya ghadhabu ya Yahwe. Maisha yao hayataokolewa, na njaa yao haitashiba, kwa sababu uovu wao umekuwa kizuizi.
20 As for their beautiful ornament, they had put it on high, and had made the images of their disgusting and hated things in it: for this cause I have made it an unclean thing to them.
Kwenye fahari yao walichukua kito yake nzuri za mapambo, pamoja nao wakatengeza sanamu zao za vinyago, na vitu vyao vichukizavyo. Kwa hiyo, nayabadilisha haya kuwa kitu najisi kwao.
21 And I will give it into the hands of men from strange lands who will take it by force, and to the evil-doers of the earth to have for themselves; and they will make it unholy.
Kisha nitawapatia hivyo vitu kwenye mikono ya wageni kama mateka na kwa waovu wa dunia kama mateka, na watapanajisi.
22 And my face will be turned away from them, and they will make my secret place unholy: violent men will go into it and make it unholy.
Kisha nitaugeuza uso wangu mbali kutoka kwao watakapo najisi mahali pangu pa siri; maharamia wataingia humo na kupanajisi.
23 Make the chain: for the land is full of crimes of blood, and the town is full of violent acts.
Tengeneza mnyororo, kwa sababu nchi imejaa hukumu ya damu, na mji umejaa udhalimu.
24 For this reason I will send the worst of the nations and they will take their houses for themselves: I will make the pride of their strength come to an end; and their holy places will be made unclean.
Hivyo nitaleta waovu wengi wa mataifa, na watamilki nyumba zao, na nitaleta mwisho kwenye fahari ya uweza, kwenda mahali pao patakatifu patanajisiwa!
25 Shaking fear is coming; and they will be looking for peace, and there will be no peace.
Hofu itakuja! Wataitafuta amani, lakini haitakuwepo.
26 Destruction will come on destruction, and one story after another; and the vision of the prophet will be shamed, and knowledge of the law will come to an end among the priests, and wisdom among the old.
Majanga juu ya majanga yatakuja juu yangu, na kutakuwa na tetesi juu ya tetesi. Kisha watatafuta ono moja kutoka kwa nabii, lakini sheria itawaangamiza kutoka kwa kuhani na shauri kutoka kwa wazee.
27 The king will give himself up to sorrow, and the ruler will be clothed with wonder, and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled: I will give them punishment for their ways, judging them as it is right for them to be judged; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
Mfalme ataomboleza na mwana wa mfalme atakata tamaa, wakati mikono ya watu wa nchi itatetemeka kwa hofu. Kulingana na njia zao wenyewe nitafanya hivi kwao! Nitawahukumu sawa sawa na wanavyostahili hadi watakapojua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.'”
