Jezekiel 25

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Kisha neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,

2 Son of man, set thy face steadfastly against the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

“Mwanadamu, weka uso wako juu ya watu wa Amoni na tabiri juu yao.

3 and thou shalt say to the children of Ammon, Hear ye the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord; Forasmuch as ye have rejoiced against my sanctuary, because it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, because it was laid waste; and against the house of Juda, because they went into captivity;

Waambie watu wa Amoni, 'Sikiliza neno la Bwana Yahwe. Hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo: Kwa sababu umesema, “Aha!” juu ya patakatifu pangu wakati palipotiwa unajisi, na juu ya nchi ya Israeli wakati ilipokuwa ukiwa, na juu ya nyumba ya Yuda wakati walipoenda utumwani,

4 therefore, behold, I [will] deliver you to the children of Kedem for an inheritance, and they shall lodge in thee with their stuff, and they shall pitch their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits, and they shall drink thy milk.

kwa hiyo, tazama, nitakupatia kwa watu katika mashariki kama milki yao. Watafanya kambi juu yako na kuweka mahema miongoni mwako. Watakula matunda yako na watakunywa maziwa yako.

5 And I will give up the city of Ammon for camels' pastures, and the children of Ammon for a pasture of sheep: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Nitamfanya Raba malisho ya ngamia na watu wa Amoni shamba la mifugo. Kisha utajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.

6 For thus saith the Lord; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with thy foot, and heartily rejoiced against the land of Israel;

Kwa kuwa Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Umepigia makofi mikono yako na kupiga chapa miguu yako, na kufurahi pamoja na dharau ndani yako dhidi ya nchi ya Israeli.

7 therefore I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a spoil to the nations; and I will utterly destroy thee from among the peoples, and I will completely cut thee off from out of the countries: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Kwa hiyo, tazama! Nitanyoosha mkono wangu na kukupatia kama mateka kwa mataifa. Nitakukatilia mbali kutoka watu na kukuangamiza kutoka miongoni mwa nchi! Nitakuharibu, na utajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.'

8 Thus saith the Lord; Because Moab has said, Behold, are not the house of Israel and Juda like all the [other] nations?

Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, 'Kwa sababu Moabu na Seiri husema “Tazama! Nyumba ya Yuda ni kama kila taifa jingine.”

9 Therefore, behold, I will weaken the shoulder of Moab from his frontier cities, [even] the choice land, the house of Bethasimuth above the fountain of the city, by the sea-side.

Kwa hiyo, tazama! ntafungua miteremko ya Moabu, kuanzia kwenye miji yake juu ya mpaka-uzuri wa Beth Yeshimothi, Baal Meoni, na Kiriathaimu-

10 I have given him the children of Kedem in addition to the children of Ammon for an inheritance, that there may be no remembrance of the children of Ammon.

kwa watu wa mashariki waliokuwa juu ya watu wa Amoni. Nitawapatia kama milki ili kwamba watu wa Amoni hawatakumbukwa miongoni mwa mataifa.

11 And I will execute vengeance on Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Hivyo nitafanya hukumu juu ya Moabu, na watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.'

12 Thus saith the Lord; Because of what the Idumeans have done in taking vengeance on the house of Juda, and [because they] have remembered injuries, and have exacted full recompense;

Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, Edomu amelipiza kisasi juu ya nyumba ya Yuda na amefanya makosa katika kufanya hivyo.

13 therefore thus saith the Lord; I will also stretch out my hand upon Idumea, and will utterly destroy out of it man and beast; and will make it desolate; and they that are pursued out of Thaeman shall fall by the sword.

Kwa hiyo, Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitaunyoosha mkono wangu juu ya Edomu na kumharibu kila mtu na wanyama huko. Nitawaharibu, sehemu ya ukiwa, kutoka Temani hata Dedani. Wataanguka kwa upanga.

14 And I will execute my vengeance on Idumea by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall deal in Idumea according to mine anger and according to my wrath, and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord.

Nitaweka kisasi changu juu ya Edomu kwa mkono wa watu wangu Israeli, na watafanya kwa Edomu kulingana na hasira yangu na ghadhabu yangu, na wakitajua kisasi changu-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.'

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Because the Philistines have wrought revengefully, and raised up vengeance rejoicing from their heart to destroy [the Israelites] to a man;

Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, 'Wafilisti wamelipiza kisasi pamoja na uovu na kutoka ndani yao wamejaribu kuiharibu Yuda tena na tena.

16 therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and will utterly destroy the Cretans, and will cut off the remnant that dwell by the sea-coast.

Basi hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo: Tazam! Nitanyoosha mkono wangu dhidi ya Wafilisti, na nitakalia mbali Wakerethi na kuwaharibu mabaki yaliyobaki karibu na pwani.

17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have brought my vengeance upon them.

Kwa kuwa nitalipiza kisasi kikubwa dhidi yao pamoja na matendo ya ghadhabu kubwa ya adhabu, hivyo watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe, nitakapolipiza kisasi juu yao.”'
