Jezekiel 35
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
“Mwanadamu, elekeza uso wako juu ya mlima Seiri, utabiri dhidi yake
3 and say to it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and will make thee a waste, and thou shalt be made desolate.
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 And I will cause desolation in thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Nitaifanya miji yako kuwa magofu nawe utakuwa ukiwa. Ndipo utakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
5 Because thou hast been a perpetual enemy, and hast laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:
“‘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, saith the Lord God, verily thou hast sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.
kwa hiyo hakika kama niishivyo, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, nitakutia katika umwagaji damu nao utakufuatia. Kwa kuwa hakuchukia kumwaga damu, kumwaga damu kutakufuatia.
7 And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:
Nitaufanya Mlima Seiri ukiwa na usiokaliwa na watu wala kulimika na kuukatilia mbali na wote wanaokuja na wanaokwenda.
8 and I will fill thy hills and thy valleys with slain men, and in all thy plains there shall fall in thee men slain with the sword.
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 thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited any more: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Nitakufanya ukiwa milele, watu hawataishi katika miji yako. Ndipo utakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
10 Because thou saidst, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is 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, saith the Lord, I will even deal with thee according to thine enmity, and I will be made known to thee when I shall judge thee:
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 and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of thy blasphemies, whereas thou hast said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;
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 and thou hast spoken swelling words against me with thy mouth: I have heard [them].
Ulijigamba dhidi yangu na kusema maneno dhidi yangu bila kujizuia, nami nikayasikia.
14 Thus saith the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make thee desert.
Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Wakati dunia yote inashangilia nitakufanya ukiwa.
15 Thou shalt be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord their God.
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.’”
