Ezekiel 35
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Kisha neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
“Mwanadamu, weka uso wako juu ya Mlima Seiri na tabiri dhidi yake.
3 and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.
Uiambie, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Tazama! ni juu yako, Mlima Seiri, nitakupiga kwa mkono wangu na kukufanya ukiwa na tishio.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be a desolation: and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah.
Nitaiharibu miji yenu, na wewe mwenyewe utakuwa ukiwa; kisha utajua kuwa mimi ni Yahwe.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword, in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
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, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will certainly appoint thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou hast not hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.
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 desolation and an astonishment, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth;
Nitaufanya Mlima Seiri mkamilifu na ukiwa wakati nitakapoukatilia mbali kutoka huo yeyote apitaye na arudiye tena.
8 and I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are 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 thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
Nitakufanya mkiwa daima. Miji yako haitakaliwa na watu, lakini mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was there:
Umesema, “Haya mataifa mawili na hizi nchi mbili zitakuwa zangu, na tutazimiliki,” hata wakati Yahwe alipokuwa pamoja nao.
11 therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy, as thou hast done out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.
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 thou shalt know that I Jehovah have heard all thy reproaches, which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.
Hivyo utajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe. Nimeyasikia matukano yako yote uliyasema dhidi ya milima ya Israeli, uliposema, “Wameharibiwa; wametolewa kwetu tuwale.
13 And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].
“Nanyi mmejitukuza juu yangu kwa kile mlichokisema, na mmeongeza maneno juu yangu; na kuyasikia yote.
14 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitakufanya ukiwa, wakati dunia nzima itakapofurahi.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolated, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be a desolation, O mount Seir, and all Edom, the whole of it: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
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.”'
