Ezekiel 30
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 “Son of man, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Howl, Aah! For the day!
“Mwanadamu, toa unabii na useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Ombolezeni ninyi na mseme, “Ole wa siku ile!”
3 For a day [is] near, a day [is] near to YHWH! It is a time of cloud [over] the nations.
Kwa kuwa siku ile imekaribia, siku ya Bwana imekaribia, siku ya mawingu, siku ya maangamizi kwa mataifa.
4 And a sword has come into Egypt, And there has been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And its foundations have been broken down.
Upanga utakuja dhidi ya Misri, nayo maumivu makuu yataijia Ethiopia. Mauaji yatakapoangukia Misri, utajiri wake utachukuliwa na misingi yake itabomolewa.
5 Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant fall by sword with them,
Kushi na Putu, Ludi na Arabia yote, Libya na watu wa nchi ya Agano watauawa kwa upanga pamoja na Misri.
6 Thus said YHWH: And those supporting Egypt have fallen, And the arrogance of her strength has come down, From Migdol to Syene, they fall by sword in her, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
“‘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 have been desolated in the midst of desolate lands, And its cities are in the midst of cities [that are] laid waste.
“‘Hizo nchi zitakua ukiwa miongoni mwa nchi zilizo ukiwa, nayo miji yao itakuwa magofu miongoni mwa miji iliyo magofu.
8 And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving fire against Egypt, And all her helpers have been broken.
Ndipo watakapojua kwamba mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapoiwasha Misri moto na wote wamsaidiao watapondwa.
9 In that day messengers go forth from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there has been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for behold, it has 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 said Lord YHWH: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar 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 terrible of nations, Are brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the wounded.
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 have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evildoers, And I have made the land desolate, And its fullness, by the hand of strangers, I, YHWH, have spoken.
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 said Lord YHWH: And I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And there is no longer a prince of the land of Egypt, And I give fear 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 have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,
Nitaifanya Pathrosi kuwa ukiwa na kuitia moto Soani, nami nitaipiga kwa adhabu Thebesi
15 And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No.
Nitaimwaga ghadhabu yangu juu ya Pelusiumu, ngome ya Misri, nami nitakatilia mbali makundi ya wajeuri wa Thebesi.
16 And I have given fire against Egypt, Sin is greatly pained, and No is to be broken, And Noph has daily distresses.
Nitaitia moto nchi ya Misri; Pelusiumu itagaagaa kwa maumivu makuu. Thebesi itachukuliwa na tufani, Memfisi itakuwa katika taabu daima.
17 The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth fall by sword, And these go into captivity.
Wanaume vijana wa Oni na wa Pi-Besethi wataanguka kwa upanga nayo hiyo miji itatekwa.
18 And the day has been dark in Tehaphnehes, In My breaking the yokes of Egypt there, And the excellence of her strength has ceased in her, Her! A cloud covers her, And her daughters go 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 have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Kwa hiyo nitaipiga Misri kwa adhabu, nao watajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
20 And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying, “Son of man,
Katika mwaka wa kumi na moja, mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya saba, neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
21 I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And behold, it has not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it—to lay hold on 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 said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused 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 have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And have spread them through lands,
Nitawatawanya Wamisri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwafukuza huku na huko katika nchi zote.
24 And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he has groaned the groans of a pierced one—before him.
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 have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh fall down, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has stretched it out toward 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 have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
Nitawatawanya Wamisri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwafukuza huku na huko katika nchi mbalimbali. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
