Ezekiel 11
1 And [the] Spirit lifts me up, and it brings me to the east gate of the house of YHWH, that is facing the east, and behold, at the opening of the gate [are] twenty-five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people.
Kisha Roho akaniacha juu na kunileta kwenye lango la mashariki la nyumba ya Yahwe, kuelekea mashariki, na tazama, kwenye njia ya mlango wa lango kulikuwa na watu ishirini na tano. Nikamwona Yaazania mwana wa Azuri na Pelatia mwana wa Benaya, viongozi wa watu, miongoni mwao.
2 And He says to me, “Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;
Mungu akanambia, “Mwana wa adamu, hawa ndio wale watu walioshauri udhalimu, na kuamua mipango miovu kwenye huu mji.
3 who are saying, It [is] not near—to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we [are] the flesh.
Wakisema, 'Mda wa kujenga nyumba sio sasa; huu mji ni sufuria, na sisi ni nyama.'
4 Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.”
Kwa hiyo tabiri juu yao. Tabiri, mwana wa adamu.”'
5 And [the] Spirit of YHWH falls on me, and He says to me, “Say, Thus said YHWH: You have said correctly, O house of Israel, And I have known the steps of your spirit.
Kisha Roho wa Yahwe akanijaza na akaniambia, “akisema: Hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo: kama usemavyo, nyumba ya Israeli; kwa kuwa najua kinachoendelea kwenye fikra zenu.
6 You multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.
Mmewazidisha watu mliowaua kwenye huu mji na kuijaza mitaa kwa hao.
7 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Your wounded whom you placed in its midst, They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, And He has brought you out from its midst.
Kwa hiyo, Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Wale watu milowaua, ambao mmeilaza miili yao kati ya Yerusalemu, ni nyama, na huu mji ni sufuria. Lakini mnaenda kutolewa nje kutoka kati ya huu mji.
8 You have feared a sword, And I bring in a sword against you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Mmeuogopa upanga, kwa hiyo nauleta huo upanga juu yenu-huu ndio usemi wa Bwana Yahwe.
9 And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done judgments among you.
Nitawatoa nje kutoka kati ya mji, na kuwaweka kwenye mikono ya wageni, kwa kuwa nitaleta hukumu dhidi yenu.
10 You fall by the sword, I judge you on the border of Israel, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
Mtaanguka kwa upanga. Nitawahukumu kati ya mipaka ya Israeli hivyo mtajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
11 It is not for a pot for you, Nor are you for flesh in its midst, I judge you at the border of Israel.
Huu mji hautakua sufuria yenu ya kupikia, wala hamtakuwa nyama ndani yake. Nitawahukumu kati ya mipaka ya Israeli.
12 And you have known that I [am] YHWH, For you have not walked in My statutes, And you have not done My judgments, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are around you, you have done!”
Kisha mtajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe, yule ambaye hamuishe kwenye amri zake na ambaye hamkuzishika sheria zake. Badala yake, mmebeba hukumu za mataifa wanayowazunguka.”
13 And it comes to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry—a loud voice—and say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, You are making an end of the remnant of Israel.”
Ikawa kwamba nilipokuwa natabiri, Pelatia mwana wa Benaya, akafa. Hivyo nikaanguka kwenye uso wangu na kulia kwa sauti na kusema, “Ee, Bwana Yahwe, Je utayaharibu kabisa mabaki ya Israeli?”
14 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Neno la Yahwe likanijia, likisema,
15 “Son of man, your brothers, your brothers, men of your family, and all the house of Israel—all of it—[are] they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from YHWH;
“Mwana wa adamu, ndugu zako! Ndugu zako! Watu wa ukoo wako na nyumba yote ya Israeli! Wote hao ndio hao ambao inasemekana wale wanaoishi Yerusalemu, 'Wako mbali sana kutoka kwa Yahwe! Hii nchi tulipewa sisi kama milki yetu.'
16 it [is] ours, the land has been given for an inheritance; therefore say, Thus said Lord YHWH: Because I put them far off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I am also for a little sanctuary to them, In lands to where they have gone in.
Kwa hiyo sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: kote nimewapitisha mbali kati ya mataifa, na kote nimewasambaza kati ya nchi, bado nimekuwa patakatifu kwa ajili yao kwa mda kidogo kwenye nchi ambazo walizoenda.'
17 Therefore say, Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which you have been scattered, And I have given the ground of Israel to you.
Kwa hiyo sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitawakusanya kutoka kwa watu, na kuwakutanisha kutoka kwenye nchi mlizokuwa mmetawanyika, na nitawapatia nchi ya Israeli.'
18 And they have gone in there, And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations—out of it.
Kisha wataenda huko na kuondoa kila kitu chenye karaha na kila chukizo kutoka hiyo sehemu.
19 And I have given one heart to them, And I give a new spirit in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given a heart of flesh to them.
Nitawapatia moyo mmoja, na nitaweka roho mpya kati yao. Nitaondoa moyo wa jiwe kutoka kwenye miili wao na kuwapatia moyo wa nyama,
20 So that they walk in My statutes, And keep My judgments, and have done them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God.
ili kwamba waweze kutembea kwenye amri zangu, watayachukua maagizo yangu na kuyatenda. Kisha watakuwa watu wangu, na nitakuwa Mungu wao.
21 As for those whose heart is going to the heart Of their detestable things and their abominations, I have put their way on their head, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
Lakini kwa wale watembeao kwa kujifanya kuendeleza mambo yao ya karaha na machukizo yao, nitaleta tabia yao kwenye vichwa vyao-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”
22 And the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels [are] alongside them, and the glory of the God of Israel [is] over them above.
Makerubi wakainua mabawa yao na magurudumu yaliyokuwa karibu nao, na utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeli ulikuwa juu yao.
23 And the glory of YHWH goes up from off the midst of the city, and stands on the mountain, that [is] on the east of the city.
Kisha utukufu wa Yahwe ukaenda juu kutoka katikati ya mji na kusimama kwenye mlima hata mashariki mwa mji.
24 And [the] Spirit has lifted me up, and brings me to Chaldea, to the expulsion, in a vision, by [the] Spirit of God, and the vision that I have seen goes up from off me;
Roho akanichukua juu na kunileta hata Ukaldayo, hata uhamishoni, katika maono kutoka kwa Roho wa Mungu, na maono niliyokuwa nimeyaona yakaenda juu yakaniacha.
25 and I speak to the expulsion all the matters of YHWH that He has showed me.
Kisha nikawaambia wale watumwa mambo yote ya Yahwe niliyokuwa nimeyaona.
