Ezekiel 30
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 Son of man prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Howl ye, Woe, woe to the day:
“Mwanadamu, toa unabii na useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Ombolezeni ninyi na mseme, “Ole wa siku ile!”
3 For the day is near, yea the day of the Lord is near: a cloudy day, it shall be the time of the nations.
Kwa kuwa siku ile imekaribia, siku ya Bwana imekaribia, siku ya mawingu, siku ya maangamizi kwa mataifa.
4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt: and there shall be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded shall fall in Egypt, and the multitude thereof shall be taken away, and the foundations thereof shall be destroyed.
Upanga utakuja dhidi ya Misri, nayo maumivu makuu yataijia Ethiopia. Mauaji yatakapoangukia Misri, utajiri wake utachukuliwa na misingi yake itabomolewa.
5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the crowd, and Chub, and the children of the land of the covenant, shall fall with them by the sword.
Kushi na Putu, Ludi na Arabia yote, Libya na watu wa nchi ya Agano watauawa kwa upanga pamoja na Misri.
6 Thus saith the Lord God: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her empire shall be brought down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: “‘Wale walioungana na Misri wataanguka na kiburi cha nguvu zake kitashindwa. Kutoka Migdoli hadi Aswani, watauawa ndani yake kwa upanga, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
“‘Hizo nchi zitakua ukiwa miongoni mwa nchi zilizo ukiwa, nayo miji yao itakuwa magofu miongoni mwa miji iliyo magofu.
8 And they shall know that I am the Lord: when I shall have set a fire in Egypt, and all the helpers thereof shall be destroyed.
Ndipo watakapojua kwamba mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapoiwasha Misri moto na wote wamsaidiao watapondwa.
9 In that day shall messengers go forth from my face in ships to destroy the confidence of Ethiopia, and there shall be dread among them in the day of Egypt: because it shall certainly come.
“‘Siku hiyo wajumbe watatoka kwangu kwa merikebu, ili kuwatia hofu Ethiopia, wakiwa katika hali yao ya kuridhika. Maumivu makali yatawapata siku ya maangamizi ya Misri, kwa kuwa hakika itakuja.
10 Thus saith the Lord God: I will make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Nitakomesha makundi ya wajeuri ya Misri kwa mkono wa Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli.
11 He and his people with him, the strongest of nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords upon Egypt: and shall fill the land with the slain.
Yeye na jeshi lake, taifa lililo katili kuliko mataifa yote, litaletwa ili kuangamiza nchi. Watafuta panga zao dhidi ya Misri na kuijaza nchi kwa waliouawa.
12 And I will make the channels of the rivers dry, and will deliver the land into the hand of the wicked: and will lay waste the land and all that is therein by the hands of strangers, I the Lord have spoken it.
Nitakausha vijito vya Naili na nitaiuza nchi kwa watu waovu, kwa mkono wa wageni, nitaifanya nchi ukiwa na kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake. Mimi Bwana nimenena haya.
13 Thus saith the Lord God: I will also destroy the idols, and I will make an end of the idols of Memphis: and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will cause a terror in the land of Egypt.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Nitaangamiza sanamu na kukomesha vinyago katika Memfisi Hapatakuwepo tena na mkuu katika nchi ya Misri, nami nitaeneza hofu katika nchi nzima.
14 And I will destroy the land of Phatures, and will make a fire in Taphnis, and will execute judgments in Alexandria.
Nitaifanya Pathrosi kuwa ukiwa na kuitia moto Soani, nami nitaipiga kwa adhabu Thebesi
15 And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium the strength of Egypt, and will cut off the multitude of Alexandria.
Nitaimwaga ghadhabu yangu juu ya Pelusiumu, ngome ya Misri, nami nitakatilia mbali makundi ya wajeuri wa Thebesi.
16 And I will make a fire in Egypt: Pelusium shall be in pain like a woman in labour, and Alexandria shall be laid waste, and in Memphis there shall be daily distresses.
Nitaitia moto nchi ya Misri; Pelusiumu itagaagaa kwa maumivu makuu. Thebesi itachukuliwa na tufani, Memfisi itakuwa katika taabu daima.
17 The young men of Heliopolis, and of Bubastus shall fall by the sword, and they themselves shall go into captivity.
Wanaume vijana wa Oni na wa Pi-Besethi wataanguka kwa upanga nayo hiyo miji itatekwa.
18 And in Taphnis the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the sceptres of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be led into captivity.
Huko Tahpanhesi mchana utatiwa giza nitakapovunja kongwa la Misri; hapo kiburi cha nguvu zake kitakoma. Atafunikwa na mawingu na vijiji vyake vitatekwa.
19 And I will execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Kwa hiyo nitaipiga Misri kwa adhabu, nao watajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Katika mwaka wa kumi na moja, mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya saba, neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharao king of Egypt: and behold it is not bound up, to be healed, to be tied up with clothes, and swathed with linen, that it might recover strength, and hold the sword.
“Mwanadamu, nimevunja mkono wa Farao mfalme wa Misri. Haukufungwa ili upone au kuwekewa kipande cha ubao ili upate nguvu za kuweza kuchukua upanga.
22 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break into pieces his strong arm, which is already broken: and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand:
Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Mimi ni kinyume na Farao mfalme wa Misri. Nitavunja mikono yake yote miwili, ule mkono ulio mzima pia na ule uliovunjika na kuufanya upanga uanguke toka mkononi mwake.
23 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
Nitawatawanya Wamisri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwafukuza huku na huko katika nchi zote.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and will put my sword in his hand: and I will break the arms of Pharao, and they shall groan bitterly being slain before his face.
Nitaitia nguvu mikono ya mfalme wa Babeli na kuutia upanga wangu mkononi mwake, lakini nitavunja mikono ya Farao, naye atalia kwa huzuni mbele yake kama mtu aliyetiwa jeraha la kumfisha.
25 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fall: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall have stretched it forth upon the land of Egypt.
Nitaitia nguvu mikono ya mfalme wa Babeli, lakini mikono ya Farao italegea. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapoutia upanga wangu mkononi mwa mfalme wa Babeli, naye ataunyoosha dhidi ya Misri.
26 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will scatter them through the countries, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Nitawatawanya Wamisri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwafukuza huku na huko katika nchi mbalimbali. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
