Ezekiel 32
1 It happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili, mwezi wa kumi na mbili, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, neno la Bwana likanijia, kusema:
2 "Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, 'You were likened to a young lion of the nations: yet you are as a monster in the seas; and you broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.'
“Mwanadamu, fanya maombolezo kwa ajili ya Farao mfalme wa Misri na umwambie: “‘Wewe ni kama simba miongoni mwa mataifa, wewe ni kama joka kubwa baharini, unayevuruga maji kwa miguu yako na kuchafua vijito.
3 "Thus says the LORD: 'I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring you up in my net.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Nikiwa pamoja na wingi mkubwa wa watu nitautupa wavu wangu juu yako, nao watakukokota katika wavu wangu.
4 I will leave you on the land, I will cast you forth on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.
Nitakutupa nchi kavu na kukuvurumisha uwanjani. Nitawafanya ndege wote wa angani watue juu yako na wanyama wote wa nchi watajishibisha nyama yako.
5 I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
Nitatawanya nyama yako juu ya milima na kujaza mabonde kwa mabaki yako.
6 I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of you.
Nitailowanisha nchi kwa damu yako inayotiririka njia yote hadi milimani, nayo mabonde yatajazwa na nyama yako.
7 When I shall extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.
Nitakapokuzimisha, nitafunika mbingu na kuzitia nyota zake giza; nitalifunika jua kwa wingu, nao mwezi hautatoa nuru yake.
8 All the bright lights of the sky will I make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the LORD.
Mianga yote itoayo nuru angani nitaitia giza juu yako; nitaleta giza juu ya nchi yako, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
9 I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
Nitaifadhaisha mioyo ya mataifa mengi nitakapokuangamiza miongoni mwa mataifa, nikikuleta uhamishoni miongoni mwa nchi ambazo haujapata kuzijua.
10 Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.'
Nitayafanya mataifa mengi wakustaajabie, wafalme wao watatetemeka kwa hofu kwa ajili yako nitakapotikisa upanga wangu mbele yao. Siku ya anguko lako kila mmoja wao atatetemeka kila dakika kwa ajili ya maisha yake.
11 "For thus says the LORD: 'The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.
“‘Kwa kuwa hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Upanga wa mfalme wa Babeli utakuja dhidi yako.
12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.
Nitafanya makundi yako ya wajeuri kuanguka kwa panga za watu mashujaa, taifa katili kuliko mataifa yote. Watakivunjavunja kiburi cha Misri, nayo makundi yake yote ya wajeuri yatashindwa.
13 I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of animals trouble them.
Nitaangamiza mifugo yake yote wanaojilisha kando ya maji mengi, hayatavurugwa tena kwa mguu wa mwanadamu wala kwato za mnyama hazitayachafua tena.
14 Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil,' says the LORD.
Kisha nitafanya maji yake yatulie na kufanya vijito vyake vitiririke kama mafuta, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
15 'When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall strike all those who dwell in it, then shall they know that I am the LORD.
Nitakapoifanya Misri kuwa ukiwa na kuiondolea nchi kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake, nitakapowapiga wote waishio humo, ndipo watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’
16 This is the lamentation with which they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith,' says the LORD."
“Hili ndilo ombolezo watakalomwimbia. Binti za mataifa wataliimba, kwa kuwa Misri na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri wataliimba, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.”
17 It happened also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili, mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi, neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
18 "Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
“Mwanadamu, omboleza kwa ajili ya makundi ya wajeuri wa Misri na uwatupe kuzimu yeye na binti za mataifa yenye nguvu, waende huko pamoja nao washukao shimoni. (questioned)
19 'Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.'
Je, ninyi mnamzidi nani kwa uzuri? Shukeni chini! Nanyi mkalazwe pamoja na hao wasiotahiriwa!
20 They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes.
Wataanguka miongoni mwa wale waliouawa kwa upanga. Upanga umefutwa, mwache aburutwe mbali pamoja na hao wajeuri wake wote.
21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol with those who help him: 'They are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.' (Sheol h7585)
Kutoka kuzimu viongozi hodari watanena kuhusu Misri pamoja na wale walioungana nao, ‘Wameshuka chini, nao wamelala kimya pamoja na hao wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga.’ (Sheol h7585)
22 "Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are all around her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword;
“Ashuru yuko huko pamoja na jeshi lake lote, amezungukwa na makaburi ya watu wake wote waliouawa, wale wote walioanguka kwa upanga.
23 whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.
Makaburi yao yako kwenye kina cha chini cha shimo na jeshi lake limelala kulizunguka kaburi lake. Wote waliokuwa wameeneza hofu kuu katika nchi ya walio hai wameuawa, wameanguka kwa upanga.
24 "There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
“Elamu yuko huko, pamoja na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri wakiwa wamelizunguka kaburi lake. Wote wameuawa, wameanguka kwa upanga. Wote waliokuwa wameeneza hofu katika nchi ya walio hai walishuka kuzimu bila kutahiriwa. Wanaichukua aibu yao pamoja na wale washukao shimoni. (questioned)
25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude; her graves are around her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of those who are slain.
Kitanda kimetandikwa kwa ajili yake miongoni mwa waliouawa, pamoja na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri wakiwa wamelizunguka kaburi lake. Wote ni watu wasiotahiriwa, wameuawa kwa upanga. Kwa sababu vitisho vyao vilienea katika nchi ya walio hai, wameichukua aibu yao pamoja na wale washukao shimoni, nao wamewekwa miongoni mwa waliouawa.
26 "There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude around her grave; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.
“Mesheki na Tubali wako humo, pamoja na makundi yao ya wajeuri wakiwa wameyazunguka makaburi yao. Wote hawakutahiriwa, wameuawa kwa upanga kwa sababu walieneza vitisho vyao katika nchi ya walio hai.
27 And they are not buried with the fallen warriors of ancient times, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and having their swords placed under their heads, but the punishment for their iniquity rested on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
Je, hawakulala na mashujaa wengine wasiotahiriwa waliouawa, ambao wameshuka kaburini wakiwa na silaha zao za vita, ambao panga zao ziliwekwa chini ya vichwa vyao na uovu wao juu ya mifupa yao? Adhabu kwa ajili ya dhambi zao ilikuwa juu ya mifupa yao, ingawa vitisho vya mashujaa hawa vilikuwa vimeenea hadi kwenye nchi ya walio hai. (Sheol h7585)
28 "But you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with those who are slain by the sword.
“Wewe pia, ee Farao, utavunjwa nawe utalala miongoni mwa wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga.
29 "There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.
“Edomu yuko humo, wafalme wake wote na wakuu wake wote, ambao ijapokuwa wana nguvu, wamelazwa pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga. Wamelala pamoja na wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale washukao shimoni.
30 "There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to shame; and they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
“Wakuu wote wa kaskazini na Wasidoni wote wako huko, wameshuka chini pamoja na waliouawa kwa aibu ijapokuwa kuna vitisho vilivyosababishwa na nguvu zao. Wamelala bila kutahiriwa pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga na kuchukua aibu yao pamoja na wale washukao chini shimoni.
31 "Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword," says the LORD.
“Farao, yeye pamoja na jeshi lake lote, atakapowaona atafarijiwa kwa ajili ya makundi yake yote ya wajeuri, wale waliouawa kwa upanga, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
32 "For I have put his terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude," says the LORD.
Ingawa nilimfanya Farao aeneze vitisho vyake katika nchi ya walio hai, Farao pamoja na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri watalazwa miongoni mwa wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale waliouawa kwa upanga, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.”
