Ezekiel 6
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Neno la Yahwe likanijia, likisema,
2 “Son of man, set your face toward mountains of Israel, and prophesy concerning them:
“Mwana wa adamu, weka uso wako dhidi ya milima ya Israeli na uwatabirie.
3 And you have said, Mountains of Israel, Hear a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH, To the mountains, and to the hills, To the streams, and to the valleys: Behold, I am bringing in a sword against you, And I have destroyed your high places.
Sema, 'Milima ya Israeli, silikilizeni neno la Bwana Yahwe! Bwana Yahwe asema hivi kwenye milima kwenye vilele, kwenye vijito na kwenye mabonde: Tazama! Naleta upanga dhidi yenu, na nitapaharibu pahali penu pa juu.
4 And your altars have been desolated, And your images have been broken, And I have caused your wounded to fall before your idols,
Kisha madhabahu zenu zitakuwa ukiwa na nguzo zenu zitaharibiwa, na nitatupa chini wafu wenu mbele ya sanamu zao.
5 And I have put the carcasses of the sons of Israel before their idols, And I have scattered your bones around your altars.
Nitalaza miili iliyokufa kwa watu wa Israeli mbele ya sanamu zao, na kuitawanya mifupa yenu kuzizunguka madhabahu zenu.
6 In all your dwellings the cities are laid waste, And the high places are desolate, So that your altars are dry and desolate, Your idols have broken and ceased, And your images have been cut down, And your works have been blotted out.
Kila mahali utaishi, miji itaharibiwa na mahali pa juu kuangamia, hivyo basi madhabahu zenu zitaharibiwa na kufanywa ukiwa. Kisha zitavunjwa na kupotea, nguzo zenu zitaangushwa chini na kazi zenu zitafutwa mbali.
7 And the wounded has fallen in your midst, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
Waliokufa wataanguka chini kati yenu nanyi mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
8 And I have caused [some] to remain, In their being for you the escaped of the sword among nations, In your being scattered through lands.
Lakini nitahifadhi mabaki kwenu, na kutakuwa na wale watakao toroka upanga miongoni mwa mataifa,
9 And your escaped have remembered Me among nations, To where they have been taken captive, Because I have been broken with their heart that is going whoring, That has turned aside from off Me, And with their eyes they are going whoring after their idols, And they have been loathsome in their own faces, For the evils that they have done—all their abominations.
Kisha wale watakao toroka watanikumbuka miongoni mwa mataifa amabapo watakapochukuliwa mateka, ndivyo nitakavoyowaponda mioyo yao ya kikahaba ambayo imeniacha, na kwa macho yao ya kikahaba kufuata sanamu zao. Kisha wataonyesha chuki kwenye nyuso zao kwa udhaifu walioufanya kwa machukizo yao yote.
10 And they have known that I [am] YHWH, I have not spoken to do this evil to them for nothing.
Hivyo watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe. Kulikuwa na sababu kwamba nimesema nitaleta huu uovu kwao.
11 Thus said Lord YHWH: Strike with your palm, and stamp with your foot, And say: Aah! For all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, Which falls by sword, by famine, and by pestilence.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Piga makofi na kanyaga kwa mguu wako! Sema! 'Ole!' kwa sababu ya uovu wote wa chukizo wa nyumba ya Israeli! Wataanguka kwa upanga, njaa, na tauni.
12 The far-off dies by pestilence, And the near falls by sword, And the left and the besieged dies by famine, And I have completed My fury on them.
Yule aliye mbali sana atakufa kwa tauni, na yule aliyekaribu ataanguka kwa upanga. Wale watakaobaki na kuishi watakufa kwa upanga. Kwa njia hii ndivyo nitakavyo kamilisha madhabahu yangu dhidi yao.
13 And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In their wounded being in the midst of their idols, Around their altars, On every high hill, on all tops of mountains, And under every green tree, and under every thick oak, The place where they gave refreshing fragrance to all their idols.
Kisha mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe, wakati waliokufa watakapolala kati ya sanamu zao, kuzizunguka madhabahu, kwa kila mlima mrefu-juu ya vilele vya mlima, na chini ya mti wenye majani mabichi na mwalo mnene-sehemu wanapochomea ubani kwa sanamu zao zote.
14 And I have stretched out My hand against them, And have made the land a desolation, Even a desolation from the wilderness to Diblath, In all their dwellings, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
Nitapiga kwa mkono wangu na kuifanya nchi ukiwa na isiyofaa, kutoka jangwa hata Dibla, kupita sehemu zote wanapoishi. Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”
