Jezekiel 35
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Kisha neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
“Mwanadamu, weka uso wako juu ya Mlima Seiri na tabiri dhidi yake.
3 and say to it, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and will make you a waste, and you shall be made desolate.
Uiambie, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Tazama! ni juu yako, Mlima Seiri, nitakupiga kwa mkono wangu na kukufanya ukiwa na tishio.
4 And I will cause desolation in your cities, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Nitaiharibu miji yenu, na wewe mwenyewe utakuwa ukiwa; kisha utajua kuwa mimi ni Yahwe.
5 Because you have been a perpetual enemy, and have 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 umekuwa adui kwa watu wangu Israeli siku zote, na kwa sababu umewatoa kwenye mikono ya upanga wakati wa mateso yao, wakati adhabu yao itakapokuwa katika ukubwa wake.
6 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, verily you have sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.
Kwa hiyo, kama niishivyo-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-nitaandaa kwa ajili ya damu, na damu na kukufutilia! Kwa kuwa hukuchukia damu, damu itakufuatilia.
7 And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:
Nitaufanya Mlima Seiri mkamilifu na ukiwa wakati nitakapoukatilia mbali kutoka huo yeyote apitaye na arudiye tena.
8 and I will fill your hills and your valleys with slain men, and in all your plains there shall fall in you men slain with the sword.
Kisha nitaijaza milima kwa watu wao waliokufa. Milima yako na mabonde na mifereji-wale walioawa kwa upanga wataanguka kati yao.
9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited any more: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Nitakufanya mkiwa daima. Miji yako haitakaliwa na watu, lakini mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
10 Because you said, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:
Umesema, “Haya mataifa mawili na hizi nchi mbili zitakuwa zangu, na tutazimiliki,” hata wakati Yahwe alipokuwa pamoja nao.
11 therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord, I will even deal with you according to your enmity, and I will be made known to you when I shall judge you:
Kwa hiyo, kama niishivyo-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-hivyo nitafanya kulingana na hasira yako na kulingana na wivu wako ambao uliousikia katika chuki yako ya Israeli, na nitajidhihirisha kwao nitakapokuhukumu.
12 and you shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of your blasphemies, whereas you have said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;
Hivyo utajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe. Nimeyasikia matukano yako yote uliyasema dhidi ya milima ya Israeli, uliposema, “Wameharibiwa; wametolewa kwetu tuwale.
13 and you have spoken swelling words against me with your mouth: I have heard [them].
“Nanyi mmejitukuza juu yangu kwa kile mlichokisema, na mmeongeza maneno juu yangu; na kuyasikia yote.
14 Thus says the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make you desert.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitakufanya ukiwa, wakati dunia nzima itakapofurahi.
15 You shall be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and you shall know that I am the Lord their God.
Kama vile unavyofurahi juu ya urithi wa watu wa Israeli kwa sababu ukiwa ya wake, ndivyo nitakavyokutenda wewe. Utakuwa ukiwa, Mlima Seiri, na Edomu yote! Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”'
