Jezekiel 6
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Neno la Yahwe likanijia, likisema,
2 Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them;
“Mwana wa adamu, weka uso wako dhidi ya milima ya Israeli na uwatabirie.
3 and you shall say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests; Behold, I bring a sword upon you, and your high places shall be utterly destroyed.
Sema, 'Milima ya Israeli, silikilizeni neno la Bwana Yahwe! Bwana Yahwe asema hivi kwenye milima kwenye vilele, kwenye vijito na kwenye mabonde: Tazama! Naleta upanga dhidi yenu, na nitapaharibu pahali penu pa juu.
4 And your altars shall be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats; and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.
Kisha madhabahu zenu zitakuwa ukiwa na nguzo zenu zitaharibiwa, na nitatupa chini wafu wenu mbele ya sanamu zao.
5 And I will scatter your bones round about your altars,
Nitalaza miili iliyokufa kwa watu wa Israeli mbele ya sanamu zao, na kuitawanya mifupa yenu kuzizunguka madhabahu zenu.
6 and in all your habitations: the cities shall be made desolate, and the high places utterly laid waste; that your altars may be destroyed, and your idols be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats be abolished.
Kila mahali utaishi, miji itaharibiwa na mahali pa juu kuangamia, hivyo basi madhabahu zenu zitaharibiwa na kufanywa ukiwa. Kisha zitavunjwa na kupotea, nguzo zenu zitaangushwa chini na kazi zenu zitafutwa mbali.
7 And slain [men] shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Waliokufa wataanguka chini kati yenu nanyi mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
8 When there are [some] of you escaping from the sword amongst the Gentiles, and when you are scattered in the countries;
Lakini nitahifadhi mabaki kwenu, na kutakuwa na wale watakao toroka upanga miongoni mwa mataifa,
9 then they of you that escape amongst the nations whither they were carried captive shall remember me; (I have sworn [an oath] against their heart that goes a-whoring from me, and their eyes that go a-whoring after their practices; ) and they shall mourn over themselves for all their abominations.
Kisha wale watakao toroka watanikumbuka miongoni mwa mataifa amabapo watakapochukuliwa mateka, ndivyo nitakavoyowaponda mioyo yao ya kikahaba ambayo imeniacha, na kwa macho yao ya kikahaba kufuata sanamu zao. Kisha wataonyesha chuki kwenye nyuso zao kwa udhaifu walioufanya kwa machukizo yao yote.
10 And they shall know that I the Lord have spoken.
Hivyo watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe. Kulikuwa na sababu kwamba nimesema nitaleta huu uovu kwao.
11 Thus says the Lord; Clap with [your] hand, and stamp with [your] foot and say, Aha, aha! for all the abominations of the house of Israel: they shall fall by the sword, and by pestilence, and by famine.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Piga makofi na kanyaga kwa mguu wako! Sema! 'Ole!' kwa sababu ya uovu wote wa chukizo wa nyumba ya Israeli! Wataanguka kwa upanga, njaa, na tauni.
12 He that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is in the siege shall be consumed with famine: and I will accomplish mine anger upon them.
Yule aliye mbali sana atakufa kwa tauni, na yule aliyekaribu ataanguka kwa upanga. Wale watakaobaki na kuishi watakufa kwa upanga. Kwa njia hii ndivyo nitakavyo kamilisha madhabahu yangu dhidi yao.
13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain are in the midst of your idols round about your altars, on every high hill, and under [every] shady tree, where they offered a sweet savour to all their idols.
Kisha mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe, wakati waliokufa watakapolala kati ya sanamu zao, kuzizunguka madhabahu, kwa kila mlima mrefu-juu ya vilele vya mlima, na chini ya mti wenye majani mabichi na mwalo mnene-sehemu wanapochomea ubani kwa sanamu zao zote.
14 And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land desolate and ruined from the wilderness of Deblatha, in all their habitations: [and] you shall know that I am the Lord.
Nitapiga kwa mkono wangu na kuifanya nchi ukiwa na isiyofaa, kutoka jangwa hata Dibla, kupita sehemu zote wanapoishi. Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”
