< Jezekiel 39 >

1 And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, Rhos prince of Mesoch and Thobel:
“Kisha wewe, mwanadamu, tabiri dhidi ya Gogu na sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Tazama! ni kinyume nawe, Gogu, mkuu wa Mesheki na Tubali.
2 and I will assemble you, and guide you, and raise you up on the extremity of the north, and I will bring you up upon the mountains of Israel.
Nitakugeuza na kukuongoza; nitakupandisha juu kutoka mbali kaskazini na kukuleta hata milima ya Israeli.
3 And I will destroy the bow out of your left hand, and your arrows out of your right hand, and I will cast you down on the mountains of Israel;
Kisha nitaufunga upinde wako utoke katika mkono wako wa kushoto na kuifanya mishale kuanguka kutoka kwenye mkono wako wa kuume.
4 and you and all that belong to you shall fall, and the nations that are with you shall be given to multitudes of birds, [even] to every fowl, and I have given you to all the wild beasts of the field to be devoured.
Utaanguka juu ya milima ya Israeli-wewe na jeshi lako late na maaskari walio pamoja nawe. Nitawapatia ndege mbua na wanyama pori wa mashambani kwa ajili ya chakula.
5 You shall fall on the face of the field: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord.
Utaanguka juu ya uso wa shamba, kwa kuwa mimi mwenyewe nimesema hivyo-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
6 And I will send a fire upon Gog, and the islands shall be securely inhabited: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Kisha nitapeleka moto juu ya Magogu na kwa wale waishio salama juu ya pwani, na watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
7 And my holy name shall be known in the midst of my people Israel; and my holy name shall no more be profaned: and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy [One] in Israel.
Kwa kuwa nitalifanya jina langu takatifu lijulikane kati ya watu wangu Israeli, na sitaruhusu tena jina langu takatifu litukanwe; mataifa watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe, Mtakatifu katika Israeli.
8 Behold it is come, and you shall know that it shall be, says the Lord God; this is the day concerning which I have spoken.
Tazama! Siku inakuja, na itachukua nafasi-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
9 And they that inhabit the cities of Israel shall come forth, and make a fire with the arms, the shields and the spears, and bows and arrows, and hand-staves, and lances, and they shall keep fire burning with them for seven years:
Hao wakaao katika miji ya Israeli watatoka nje na watatumia silaha kuwasha moto na kutengeneza moto na kuwachoma-ngao ndogo, ngao kubwa, pinde, mishale, rungu, na mikuki; watatengeneza mioto pamoja nao kwa muda wa siku saba.
10 and they shall not take any wood out of the field, neither shall they cut any out of the forests, but they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and spoil those that spoiled them, says the Lord.
Hawatakusanya kuni kutoka mashambani wala kukata miti kutoka kwenye misitu, kwa kuwa watazichoma hizo silaha; watawateka nyara wale watakaotaka kuwateka nyara-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”
11 And it shall come to pass [that] in that day I will give to Gog a place of renown, a tomb in Israel, the burial-place of them that approach the sea: and they shall build round about the outlet of the valley, and there they shall bury Gog and all his multitude: and [the place] shall then be called the burial-place of Gog.
Kisha itakuwa katika hiyo siku ambayo nitaifanya sehemu huko kwa ajili ya Gogu-kaburi la Israeli, bonde kwa ajili ya wale wanaosafiri hata mashariki ya bahari. Litawazuia wale wanaotegemea kupita. Huko watamzika Gogu pamoja na kundi lake lote. Watapaita bonde la Hamon-Gogu.
12 And the house of Israel shall bury them, that the land may be cleansed in the space of seven months.
Kwa muda wa siku saba nyumba ya Israeli itawazika ili kuitakasa nchi.
13 Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a [place] of renown in the day wherein it was glorified, says the Lord.
Kwa kuwa watu wa nchi watawazika; itakuwa siku ya kukumbukwa kwao wakati nitakapotukuzwa-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
14 And they shall appoint men continually to go over the land, to bury them that have been left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it after the space of seven months, and they shall seek [them] out.
Kisha watawateua watu kuendelea kwenda kwenye nchi, kuwatafuta wale waliokuwa wakisafiri, lakini waliokufa na miili yao kubaki juu ya uso wa nchi, ili kwamba waweze kuwazika, kwa ajili ya kusafisha nchi. Katika siku ya mwisho ya mwezi wa saba wataanza kutafuta.
15 And every one that goes through the land, and sees a man's bone, shall set up a mark by it, until the buriers shall have buried it in the valley, the burial place of Gog.
Kama hawa watu wapitao kwenye nchi, watakapoona mfupa wowote wa binadamu, wataweka alama kwa huo, hadi wachimba kaburi watakapokuja na kuizika katika bonde la Hamoni Gogu.
16 For the name of the city [shall be] Burial-place: so shall the land be cleansed.
Kutakuwa na mji huko unaitwa Hamona. Wataitakasa nchi kwa njia hii.
17 And you, son of man, say, Thus says the Lord; Say to every winged bird, and to all the wild beasts of the field, Gather yourselves, and come; gather yourselves from all [places] round about to my sacrifice, which I have made for you, [even] a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh, and drink blood.
Kwako wewe, mwanadamu, Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Waambie ndege wote wenye mabawa na wanyama wote wa porini katika mashamba, 'Kusanyikeni pamoja na mje. Kusanyikeni kutoka pande zote kwenda kwenye dhabihu yote ambayo mimi mwenyewe ninayoifanya kwa ajili yako, dhabihu kubwa juu ya milima ya Israeli, ili kwamba mle nyama na kunywa damu.
18 You shall eat the flesh of mighty men, and you shall drink the blood of princes of the earth, rams, and calves and goats, and they are all fatted calves.
Mtakula nyama ya walio hodari na kunywa damu ya wakuu wa dunia; watakuwa kondoo waume, wana kondoo, mbuzi, na ng'ombe, wote walikuwa wanene katika Basheni.
19 And you shall eat fat till you are full, and shall drink wine till you are drunken, of my sacrifice which I have prepared for you.
Kisha mtakula mafuta hata kuridhika kwenu; mtakunywa damu hadi kulewa; hii itakuwa dhabihu nitakayoichinja kwa ajili yenu.
20 And you shall be filled at my table, [eating] horse, and rider, and mighty man, and every warrior, says the Lord.
Mtatosheka kwenye meza yangu pamoja na farasi, magari ya farasi, shujaa, na kila mtu wa vita-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.'
21 And I will set my glory among you, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have wrought, and my hand which I have brought upon them.
Nitauweka utukufu wangu kati ya mataifa, na mataifa yote yataona hukumu yangu ninayoionyesha na mkono wangu nimeuweka juu yao.
22 And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from this day and onwards.
Nyumba ya Israeli itajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe Mungu wao kutoka hiyo siku na kuendelea.
23 And all the nations shall know that the house of Israel were led captive because of their sins, because they rebelled against me, and I turned away my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.
Mataifa yatajua kwamba nyumba ya Israeli wameenda uhamishoni kwa sababu ya udhalimu wao kwa kunisaliti, hivyo naficha uso wangu kwao na kuwaweka kwenye mkono wa maadui zao ili kwamba wote waanguke kwa upanga.
24 According to their uncleannesses and according to their transgressions did I deal with them, and I turned away my face from them.
Nimewafanyia kutokana na uchafu wao na dhambi zao, nitakapokuwa nimeuficha uso wangu kwao.
25 Therefore thus says the Lord God, Now will I turn back captivity in Jacob, and will have mercy on the house of Israel, and will be jealous for the sake of my holy name.
Kwa hiyo Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Sasa nitawarudisha watu wa Yakobo, na kuwa na huruma juu ya nyumba yote ya Israeli, wakati nitakapoona wivu kwa ajili ya jina langu.
26 And they shall bear their reproach, and the iniquity which they committed when they lived upon their land in peace. Yet there shall be none to terrify [them]
Kisha watabeba aibu yao na uhaini mkubwa walio nihaini. Watayasahau haya yote watakapopumzika katika nchi yao katika usalama, wala hakuna mtu atakaye waogofya.
27 when I have brought them back from the nations, and gathered them out of the countries of the nations: and I will be sanctified among them in the presence of the nations.
Wakati nitakapokuwa nimewarudisha kutoka kwa watu na kuwakusanya kutoka kwenye nchi za maadui zao, nitajionyesha mimi mwenyewe kuwa mtakatifu kwenye uso wa mataifa mengi.
28 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, when I have been manifested to them among the nations.
Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe Mungu wao, kwa kuwa nimewapeleka utumwani kati ya mataifa, lakini kisha nitawakusanya kuwarudisha hata nchi yao. Sitamuacha hata mmoja wao kati ya mataifa.
29 And I will no more turn away my face from them, because I have poured out my wrath upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God.
Sitawaficha uso wangu kwao wakati nitakapomwaga Roho wangu katika nyumba ya Israeli-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”
