Ezekiel 25

1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:

2 "Son of man, set your face toward the people of Ammon, and prophesy against them:

“Mwanadamu, elekeza uso wako juu ya Waamoni utabiri dhidi yao.

3 and tell the people of Ammon, 'Hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the LORD, "Because you said, 'Aha,' against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity:

Waambie, ‘Sikieni neno la Bwana Mwenyezi. Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Kwa sababu ulisema, “Aha!” juu ya mahali pangu patakatifu palipotiwa unajisi, na juu ya nchi ya Israeli ilipoangamizwa, na juu ya watu wa Yuda walipokwenda uhamishoni,

4 therefore, look, I will deliver you to the people of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in you, and make their dwellings in you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.

kwa hiyo nitawatia mikononi mwa watu wa mashariki mkawe mali yao. Watapiga kambi zao katikati yenu na kufanya makazi miongoni mwenu, watakula matunda yenu na kunywa maziwa yenu.

5 I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the people of Ammon a resting place for flocks: and you shall know that I am the LORD."

Nitaufanya mji wa Raba kuwa malisho ya ngamia na Amoni kuwa mahali pa kondoo pa kupumzikia. Ndipo mtakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.

6 For thus says the LORD: "Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of your soul against the land of Israel;

Kwa kuwa hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Kwa kuwa umepiga makofi yako na kufanya kishindo kwa miguu, mkifurahia kwa mioyo yenu miovu juu ya yale mabaya yaliyoipata nchi ya Israeli,

7 therefore, look, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you; and you shall know that I am the LORD."'"

hivyo nitaunyoosha mkono wangu dhidi yako na kukutoa kuwa nyara kwa mataifa. Nitakukatilia mbali kutoka kwenye mataifa na kukungʼoa katika nchi. Nitakuangamiza, nawe utajua ya kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”

8 "Thus says the LORD: 'Because Moab and Seir say, "Look, the house of Judah is like all the nations";

“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: ‘Kwa sababu Moabu na Seiri wamesema, “Tazama, nyumba ya Yuda imekuwa kama mataifa mengine yote,”

9 therefore, look, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim,

kwa hiyo nitaiondoa ile miji iliyo kando ya Moabu, kuanzia miji iliyoko mipakani, yaani: Beth-Yeshimothi, Baal-Meoni na Kiriathaimu, iliyo utukufu wa nchi hiyo.

10 to the people of the east, to go against the people of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the people of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.

Nitaitia Moabu pamoja na Waamoni mikononi mwa watu wa Mashariki kuwa milki yao, ili kwamba Waamoni wasikumbukwe miongoni mwa mataifa,

11 and I will execute judgments on Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'"

nami nitatoa adhabu kwa Moabu. Ndipo watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”

12 "Thus says the LORD: 'Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself on them';

“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: ‘Kwa sababu Edomu ulilipiza kisasi juu ya nyumba ya Yuda na kukosa sana kwa kufanya hivyo,

13 therefore thus says the LORD, 'I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even to Dedan shall they fall by the sword.

kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Nitaunyoosha mkono wangu dhidi ya Edomu na kuua watu wake na wanyama wao. Nitaufanya ukiwa, kuanzia Temani hadi Dedani wataanguka kwa upanga.

14 I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, says the LORD.'"

Nitalipiza Edomu kisasi kwa mkono wa watu wangu Israeli, nao watawatendea Edomu sawasawa na hasira yangu na ghadhabu yangu, nao watakijua kisasi changu, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.’”

15 "Thus says the LORD: 'Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;

“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: ‘Kwa sababu Wafilisti wamewalipiza kisasi kwa uovu wa mioyo yao na kwa uadui wa siku nyingi wakataka kuangamiza Yuda,

16 therefore thus says the LORD, Look, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Mimi ninakaribia kuunyoosha mkono wangu dhidi ya Wafilisti, nami nitawakatilia mbali Wakerethi na kuwaangamiza wale waliosalia katika pwani.

17 I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.'"

Nitalipiza kisasi kikubwa juu yao na kuwaadhibu katika ghadhabu yangu. Ndipo watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapolipiza kisasi juu yao.’”
