Jezekiel 30

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,

2 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord; Woe, woe [worth] the day!

“Mwanadamu, toa unabii na sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Maombolezo. “Ole unakuja siku hiyo.”

3 For the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it shall be the end of the nations.

siku ikaribu. Siku ikaribu kwa ajili ya Yahwe. Itakuwa siku ya mawingu, mda wa hukumu kwa ajili ya mataifa.

4 And the sword shall come upon the Egyptians, and there shall be tumult in Ethiopia, and in Egypt [men] shall fall down slain together, and her foundations shall fall.

Kisha upanga utakuja dhidi ya Misri, na huko kutakuwa na maumivu makali katika Kushi wakati wauaji wa watu watakapoanguka katika Misri-wakati watakapochukua utajiri, na wakati misingi yake itakapoharibiwa.

5 Persians, and Cretans, and Lydians, and Libyans, and all the mixed multitude, and they of the children of my covenant, shall fall by the sword therein.

Kushi, Putu, na Ludi, na wageni wote, pamoja na watu wa nyumba ya agano-wote wataanguka chini kwa upanga.

6 And the supports of Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her strength shall come down from Magdol to Syene: they shall fall by the sword in it, says the Lord.

Yahwe asema hivi: Basi wale wanaoisaidia Misri wataanguka, na kiburi cha uweza wake kitashuka chini. Kutoka Migdoli hata Sewene maaskari wao wataanguka kwa upanga-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.

7 And it shall be made desolate in the midst of desolate countries, and their cities shall be [desolate] in the midst of desolate cities:

Wataogofya kati ya nchi zilizotupwa, na miji yao itakuwa miongoni mwa miji yote iliharibika.

8 and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall send fire upon Egypt, and [when] all that help her shall be broken.

Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe, nitakapouweka moto katika Misri, na wakati wasaidizi wake wote watakapoharibiwa.

9 In that day shall messengers go forth hasting to destroy Ethiopia utterly, and there shall be tumult among them in the day of Egypt: for, behold it comes.

Katika siku hiyo wajumbe watatoka mbele yangu katika meli ili kuitia hofu Kushi iliyo salama, na kutakuwa na maumivu makali miongoni mwao katika siku ya kuangamizwa Misri. Kwa kuwa tazama! inakuja.

10 Thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the multitude of the Egyptians by the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,

Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitaufanya mwisho wa watu wa Misri kwa mkono wa Nebukadreza, mfalme wa Babeli.

11 his [hand] and his people's; [they are] plagues sent forth from the nations to destroy the land: and they all shall unsheath their swords against Egypt, and the land shall be filled with slain.

Yeye na jeshi lake pamoja naye, hofu ya mataifa, italetwa kuiharibu nchi; watafuta panga zao juu ya Misri na kuijaza nchi pamoja na watu waliokufa.

12 And I will make their rivers desolate, and will destroy the land and the fulness of it by the hands of strangers: I the Lord have spoken.

Nitaifanya mito kuwa nchi kavu, na nitaiuza nchi kwenye mkono wa watu waovu. Nitaifanya nchi na viijazavyo ukiwa kwa mkono wa wageni-mimi, Yahwe, nimesema.

13 For thus says the Lord God; I will also destroy the nobles from Memphis, and the princes of Memphis out of the land of Egypt; and they shall be no more.

Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitaziharibu sanamu, na nitaleta mwisho wa sanamu za ubatili za Nofu. Hakutakuwa na mkuu katika Misri, na nitaweka hofu katika nchi ya Misri.

14 And I will destroy the land of Phathore, and will send fire upon Tanis, and will execute vengeance on Diospolis.

Kisha nitaifanya Pathrosi ukiwa na kuweka moto katika Soani, nitatekeleza matendo ya hukumu katika No.

15 And I will pour out my wrath upon Sais the strength of Egypt, and will destroy the multitude of Memphis.

Kwa kuwa nitamwaga ghadhabu yangu juu Sini, ngome ya Misri, na kuwakatilia mbali watu wa mataifa.

16 And I will send fire upon Egypt; and Syene shall be sorely troubled; and there shall be a breaking in Diospolis, and waters shall be poured out.

Kisha nitaweka moto katika Misri; Sini itakuwa katika dhiki kuu, No itavunjika, na Nofu itakabiliana na maadui kila siku.

17 The youths of Heliopolis and Bubastum shall fall by the sword, and the women shall go into captivity.

Vijana katika Oni na Pi-besethi wataanguka kwa upanga, na miji yao itaenda utumwani.

18 And the day shall be darkened in Taphnae, when I have broken there the scepters of Egypt: and the pride of her strength shall perish there: and a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be taken prisoners.

Huko Tapanesi, siku itabadilika kuwa usiku nitakapo ivunja nira ya Misri huko, na kiburi cha uwezo wake kitaisha. Kutakuwa na wingu likimfunika, na binti zake wataenda utumwani.

19 And I will execute judgment on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Nitatekeleza matendo ya hukumu katika Misri, hivyo watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”'

20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Kisha ikawa katika mwaka wa kumi na moja, katika mwezi wa kwanza, katika siku ya saba ya mwezi, lile neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,

21 Son of man, I have broken the arms of Pharao, king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up to be healed, to have a plaster put upon it, [or] to be strengthened to lay hold of the sword.

“Mwanadamu, nimeuvunja mkono wa Farao, mfalme wa Misri. Tazama! Haukufungwa, au kufungwa kwa kitambaa cha bendeji ili upone, hivyo basi uweze kuwa imara kushika upanga.

22 Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break his strong and outstretched arms, and will strike down his sword out of his hand.

Kwa hiyo Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, 'Tazama, mimi niko juu ya Farao, mfalme wa Misri. Kwa kuwa nitauvunja mkono wake, wote yule aliye hodari na yule aliyevunjika, nitaufanya upanga wangu kuanguka kutoka kwenye mkono wake.

23 And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and will utterly scatter them among the countries.

Kisha nitaitawanya Misri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwatawanya katika nchi mbali mbali.

24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword into his hand: and he shall bring it upon Egypt, and shall take her plunder and seize her spoils.

Nitaunyoosha mikono kwa mfalme wa Babeli na kuweka upanga wangu katika mkono wake ili kwamba niweze kuiharibu mikono ya Farao. Atagugumia mbele ya mfalme wa Babeli kwa mgumio wa mtu anayekufa.

25 Yes, I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fail: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have put my sword into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out over the land of Egypt.

Kwa kuwa nitainyoosha mikono ya mfalme wa Babeli, wakati mkono wa Farao utakapoanguka. Kisha watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe, nitakapoweka upanga wangu kwenye mkono wa mfalme wa Babeli; kwa kuwa ataishambulia nchi ya Misri kwa huo.

26 And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations, and utterly scatter them among the countries; and they all shall know that I am the Lord.

Hivyo nitaitawanya miongoni mwa mataifa na kuyatawanya kwenye nchi tofauti tofauti. Kisha watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”'
