Ezekiel 16
1 Again the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
Kisha neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
“Mwanadamu, mwambie Yerusalemu kuhusu machukizo yake,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
na useme, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi kwa Yerusalemu: Mwanzo wako na kuzaliwa kwako kulichukua nafasi katika nchi ya Kanaani; baba yako alikuwa Mwamori, na mama yako alikuwa Mhiti.
4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
Katika siku ya kuzaliwa kwako, mama yako hakukata kitovu chako, wala hakukuosha kwenye maji usafishwe au kukuchua kwa chumvi, wala kukusitiri nguo.
5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
Hakuna jicho lililokuhurumia kufanya haya mambo kwa ajili yako, kukuhurumia wewe. Katika siku uliyozaliwa, kwa kuchukiwa uhai wako, ulitupwa nje uwandani.
6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
Lakini nilipita karibu nawe, nalikuona ukijinyonga kwa damu yako mwenyewe, “kubaki hai!”
7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.
Nimekufanya ukue kama mmea katika shamba. Umeongezeka na kuwa mkubwa, na umekuwa mzuri wa wazuri. Maziwa yako yakawa thabiti, na nywele zako zikawa nyingi, ingawa ulikuwa uchi huna nguo.
8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Yhwh, and thou becamest mine.
Nilipita karibu nawe tena, na nalikuona. Tazama! wakati wa upendo umefika kwako, hivyo nikatandika joho langu juu yako na kufunika uchi wako. Kisha nikaapa kwako na kukuleta kwenye agano-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-na ukawa wangu.
9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
Basi nilikuosha kwa maji na kukufuta damu yako, na kukupaka mafuta.
10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
Nilikuvalisha nguo ya taraza na kukuwekea makuzi ya ngozi kwenye miguu yako. Nilikufungia kwa kitani kizuri na kukufunika kwa hariri.
11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
Kisha nalikupamba kwa vito, na kukuvalisha vikuku kwenye mikono yako, na mkufu kwenye shingo yako.
12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
Nalitia hazama katika pua yako na hereni katika masikio yako, na taji nzuri juu ya kichwa chako.
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
Hivyo ulipambwa kwa dhahabu na fedha, na ulivaa kitani safi, hariri, na ngu za taraza; ulikula unga mzuri, asali, na mafuta, na ulikuwa mzuri sana, na ukawa malkia.
14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Yhwh.
Umaarufu wako ukaenda miongoni mwa mataifa kwa sababu ya uzuri wako, kwa kuwa ulikuwa mkamili katika ukuu niliokuwa nimekupa-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
Lakini ulitumaini uzuri wako, na ukafanya kama kahaba kwa sababu ya umaarufu wako; umeyamwaga matendo yako ya kikahaba kwa kila aliyepita karibu, ili kwamba uzuri wako uwe wake.
16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
Kisha ulichukua nguo zako na pamoja nao umepatengeneza mahali pa juu kwa ajili yako palipambwa kwa rangi tofauti tofauti, na hapo ulifanya kama kahaba. Hii haitatokea. Wala haitatokea.
17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
Umevichukua vito vizuri vya dhahabu na fedha nilizowapatia, na umejitengenezea sanamu za wanaume, na umefanya pamoja nao ukahaba afanyao.
18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
Ulichukua nguo zako za tarizi na kuwafunika, na kuwawekea mafuta yangu na manukato mbele yao.
19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord Yhwh.
Mkate wangu niliokupatia-ulitengenezwa kwa unga mzuri, mafuta, na asali-umeviweka mbele yao kwa ajili ya kunukia harufu nzuri, kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo ilivyotokea-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,
Kisha uliwachukua watoto wako ulionizalia, na kuwatoa sadaka kwa picha ili waliwe kama chakula. Je! matendo yako ya kikahaba ni kitu kidogo?
21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
Umewachinja watoto wangu na kuwatupia kwenye moto.
22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
Katika machukizo yako yote na matendo yako ya kikahaba hukutafakari kuhusu siku za ujana wako, wakati ulipokuwa uchi na bila nguo kama kama umepigwa katika damu.
23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, ( woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Yhwh; )
Ole! Ole wako! -hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-kwahiyo, zaidi ya hapo kwa haya maovu yote,
24 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
umejijengea chumba cha chini kwa chini katika kila sehemu ya watu wengi.
25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
Umepajenga mahali pako palipoinuka kwenye kichwa cha kila njia na kuunajisi uzuri wako, kwa kuwa umeutoa mwili wako kwa kila mtu apitaye karibu na umefanya matendo mengi zaidi ya ukahaba.
26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
Umetenda kama kahaba pamoja na Wamisri, tamaa ya jirani zako, na umetenda matendo mengi zaidi ya kikahaba, ili kuchochea hasira yangu.
27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
Tazama! Nitakunyooshea mkono wangu na kupunguza chakula chako. Nitauchukua uhai wako juu ya adui zako, binti za Wafilisti, ambao walikuwa na haya ya tabia yako ya uchafu.
28 Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
Umetenda kama kahaba pamoja na Waashuru kwa sababu hukuweza kuridhika. Umetenda kama kahaba na bado hukuridhika.
29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
Umefanya matendo mengi zaidi ya kikahaba katika nchi ya jamii ya wana maji wa Ukaldayo, na wala hukuridhika kwa hayo.
30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord Yhwh, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
Jinsi moyo wako ulivyo dhaifu-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-kwamba utaweza kuyafanya haya mambo yote, matendo ya aibu ya kikahaba?
31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
Mmepajenga mahali penu pa juu kwenye kichwa cha kila mtaa na kufanya chumba cha chini kwa chini katika kila sehemu ya watu wengi. Bado hukuwa kama kahaba kwa sababu ulikataa kulipwa ujira.
32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
Wewe mwanamke mzinifu, wewe upokeaye wageni badala ya mume wako.
33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
Watu hulipa kwa kila kahaba, lakini wewe huwapa mshara wako wapenzi wako wote na kuwapa rushwa ili waje kwako pande zote kwa matendo yako ya kikahaba.
34 And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
Hivyo kuna tofauti kati yako na hao wanawake wengine, kwa kuwa hakuna hata mmoja ajaye kwako kukuuliza kulala pamoja nao. Badala yake, unawalipa. Hakuna akulipaye.
35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of Yhwh:
Kwa hiyo, wewe kahaba, lisikilize neno la Yahwe.
36 Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Kwa sababu umemwaga tamaa yako na kuonyesha sehemu zako za siri kupitia matendo yako ya ukahaba pamoja na wapenzi wako wote pamoja na sanamu zako za chukizo, na kwa sababu ya damu ya watoto wako uliyowapatia sanamu zako,
37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
kwa hiyo, tazama! Nitawakusanya wapenzi wako wote uliokutana nao, wote ambao uliowapenda na wote uliowachukia, na nitawakusanya juu yako kila upande. Nitawaonyesha wazi sehemu zako za siri hivyo wanaweza kuona uchi wako wote.
38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
Kwa kuwa nitakuadhibu kwa uasherati na kumwaga damu, na nitaleta juu yako damu ya hasira yangu na hasira kali.
39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
Nitakutia kwenye mikono yao hivyo watakutupa chini kwenye chumba cha chini kwa chini na kupavunja mahali pako pa juu na watakuvua nguo zako na kuchukua vito vyako vyote. watakuacha uchi bila nguo.
40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
Kisha wataleta kundi la watu juu yako na kukupiga kwa mawe, na kukukata kwa panga zao.
41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
Watachoma nyumba zako na kufanya matendo mengi ya adhabu juu yako kwenye uso wa wanawake wengi, kwa kuwa nitakusimamisha ukahaba wako, na hutawalipa tena wapenzi wako.
42 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
Kisha nitatuliza ghadhabu yangu juu yako; hasira yangu itakuacha, kwa kuwa nitaridhika, na sitakuwa na hasira tena.
43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord Yhwh: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.
Kwa sababu hukuzikumbuka siku za ujana wako na kunifanya nitetemeke kwa hasira kwa sababu ya haya mambo yote, kwa hiyo, tazama! Mimi mwenyewe nitashusha kwa kichwa chako mwenyewe adhabu kwa kile ulichokifanya-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo. Hutaongeza ukahaba kwa matendo yako yote ya machukizo?
44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
Tazama! Kila mtu azungumzaye Mithali kuhusu wewe atasema, “Kama alivyo, hivyo pia ni binti yake.”
45 Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Wewe ni binti wa mama yako, amchukiaye mume wake na mtoto wake, na wewe ni dada wa dada zako aliyewachukia waume zao na watoto wao. Mama yako alikuwa Mhiti, na baba yako alikuwa Mwamori.
46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Dada yako mkubwa alikuwa Samaria na binti zake walikuwa wale waliokuwa wakiishi kaskazini, wakati dada yako mdogo alikuwa ni yule aliyekuwa akiishi kusini mwako, ambaye ni, Sodoma na binti zake.
47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
Hukuenenda katika njia zao na kuchukua tabia zao na matendo yao, lakini katika njia zako zote ulikuwa mbaya zaidi kuliko walivyokuwa wao.
48 As I live, saith the Lord Yhwh, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
Kama niishivyo- hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-dada yako Sodoma na binti zake, hawajafanya uovu mwingi kama wewe ulivyofanya na binti zako walivyofanya.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Tazama! Hii ilikuwa dhambi ya dada yako Sodoma: Alikuwa na kiburi katika mafanikio yake, uzembe na kutojali kuhusu chochote. Hakuitia nguvu mikono ya maskini na watu wahitaji.
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Alikuwa na kiburi na kufanya machukizo mbele yangu, hivyo niliwatoa kama nilivyoona.
51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
Samaria hakufanya hata nusu ya dhambi zako; badala yake, umefanya machukizo mengi kuliko walivyofanya, na umewonyesha hayo dada zako walikuwa bora kuliko wewe kwa sababu ya machukizo yako uyafanyayo!
52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
Hasa wewe, umeonyesha aibu yako mwenyewe; kwa njia hii umewaonyesha dada zako walikuwa bora kuliko wewe, kwa sababu ya dhambi ulizozifanya katika hayo machukizo yako yote. Dada zako sasa wanaonekana bora kuliko wewe. Hasa wewe, umeonyesha aibu yako mwenyewe, kwa njia hii umewaonyesha kwamba dada zako walikuwa bora kuliko wewe.
53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
Kwa kuwa nitarudisha masalia wao-masalia ya Sodoma na binti zake, na masalia ya Samaria na binti zake; lakini masalia yako yatakuwa miongoni mwao.
54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
Kwa kufikiria haya mambo utaonyesha aibu yako; utakuwa mnyenyekevu kwa sababu ya kila kitu ulichokifanya, na kwa njia hii utakuwa faraja kwao.
55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
Hivyo dada yako Sodoma na binti zake watarudishwa kwenye hali yao ya zamani, na Samaria na binti zake watarudishwa kwenye mashamba yao ya zamani. Kisha wewe na binti zako watarudishwa kwenye hali yako ya kawaida.
56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
Sodoma dada yako hakutajwa hata kwa kinywa chako katika siku ulipojiinua,
57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.
kabla uovu wako haujafunuliwa. Lakini sasa wewe ni kitu cha dharau kwa binti za Edomu na binti wote wa Wafilisti waliomzunguka. Watu wote wanakudharau wewe.
58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith Yhwh.
Utaonyesha aibu yako na matendo yako ya machukizo! -hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo!
59 For thus saith the Lord Yhwh; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitashughulika na wewe kama unavyostahili, wewe uliyedharau kiapo chako kwa kulivunja agano.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
Lakini mimi mwenyewe nitalikumbuka agano langu nililolifanya pamoja nawe katika siku za ujana wako, nitaliimarisha agano la milele pamoja na wewe.
61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
Kisha utazikumbuka njia zako na kuona aibu utakapo wapokea dada zako wakubwa na dada zako wadogo. Nitakupatia wao kama binti zako, lakini kwa sababu ya agano lako.
62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am Yhwh:
Mimi nitaweka imara agano lango pamoja nawe, nawe utajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Yhwh.
Kwa sababu ya haya mambo, utakumbuka kila kitu na kuona aibu, hutafungua mdomo wako tena kuongea kwa sababu ya aibu yako, wakati nitakapokusamehe kwa yale yote uliyoyafanya-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”'
