Ezekiel 16

1 Again the word of YHWH came to me, saying,

Kisha neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,

2 "Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;

“Mwanadamu, mwambie Yerusalemu kuhusu machukizo yake,

3 and say, 'Thus says YHWH to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hethite.

na useme, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi kwa Yerusalemu: Mwanzo wako na kuzaliwa kwako kulichukua nafasi katika nchi ya Kanaani; baba yako alikuwa Mwamori, na mama yako alikuwa Mhiti.

4 As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren't salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

Katika siku ya kuzaliwa kwako, mama yako hakukata kitovu chako, wala hakukuosha kwenye maji usafishwe au kukuchua kwa chumvi, wala kukusitiri nguo.

5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.

Hakuna jicho lililokuhurumia kufanya haya mambo kwa ajili yako, kukuhurumia wewe. Katika siku uliyozaliwa, kwa kuchukiwa uhai wako, ulitupwa nje uwandani.

6 "'And I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, and I said to you in your blood: 'Live.'

Lakini nilipita karibu nawe, nalikuona ukijinyonga kwa damu yako mwenyewe, “kubaki hai!”

7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

Nimekufanya ukue kama mmea katika shamba. Umeongezeka na kuwa mkubwa, na umekuwa mzuri wa wazuri. Maziwa yako yakawa thabiti, na nywele zako zikawa nyingi, ingawa ulikuwa uchi huna nguo.

8 "'Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, look, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you,' says YHWH, 'and you became mine.

Nilipita karibu nawe tena, na nalikuona. Tazama! wakati wa upendo umefika kwako, hivyo nikatandika joho langu juu yako na kufunika uchi wako. Kisha nikaapa kwako na kukuleta kwenye agano-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-na ukawa wangu.

9 "'Then I washed you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

Basi nilikuosha kwa maji na kukufuta damu yako, na kukupaka mafuta.

10 I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

Nilikuvalisha nguo ya taraza na kukuwekea makuzi ya ngozi kwenye miguu yako. Nilikufungia kwa kitani kizuri na kukufunika kwa hariri.

11 I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

Kisha nalikupamba kwa vito, na kukuvalisha vikuku kwenye mikono yako, na mkufu kwenye shingo yako.

12 I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

Nalitia hazama katika pua yako na hereni katika masikio yako, na taji nzuri juu ya kichwa chako.

13 Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.

Hivyo ulipambwa kwa dhahabu na fedha, na ulivaa kitani safi, hariri, na ngu za taraza; ulikula unga mzuri, asali, na mafuta, na ulikuwa mzuri sana, na ukawa malkia.

14 Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,' says YHWH.

Umaarufu wako ukaenda miongoni mwa mataifa kwa sababu ya uzuri wako, kwa kuwa ulikuwa mkamili katika ukuu niliokuwa nimekupa-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.

15 "'But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.

Lakini ulitumaini uzuri wako, na ukafanya kama kahaba kwa sababu ya umaarufu wako; umeyamwaga matendo yako ya kikahaba kwa kila aliyepita karibu, ili kwamba uzuri wako uwe wake.

16 You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

Kisha ulichukua nguo zako na pamoja nao umepatengeneza mahali pa juu kwa ajili yako palipambwa kwa rangi tofauti tofauti, na hapo ulifanya kama kahaba. Hii haitatokea. Wala haitatokea.

17 You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;

Umevichukua vito vizuri vya dhahabu na fedha nilizowapatia, na umejitengenezea sanamu za wanaume, na umefanya pamoja nao ukahaba afanyao.

18 and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.

Ulichukua nguo zako za tarizi na kuwafunika, na kuwawekea mafuta yangu na manukato mbele yao.

19 My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and thus it was,' says YHWH.

Mkate wangu niliokupatia-ulitengenezwa kwa unga mzuri, mafuta, na asali-umeviweka mbele yao kwa ajili ya kunukia harufu nzuri, kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo ilivyotokea-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.

20 "'Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,

Kisha uliwachukua watoto wako ulionizalia, na kuwatoa sadaka kwa picha ili waliwe kama chakula. Je! matendo yako ya kikahaba ni kitu kidogo?

21 that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?

Umewachinja watoto wangu na kuwatupia kwenye moto.

22 In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.

Katika machukizo yako yote na matendo yako ya kikahaba hukutafakari kuhusu siku za ujana wako, wakati ulipokuwa uchi na bila nguo kama kama umepigwa katika damu.

23 "'It has happened after all your wickedness, ("Woe, woe to you." says YHWH),

Ole! Ole wako! -hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-kwahiyo, zaidi ya hapo kwa haya maovu yote,

24 that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.

umejijengea chumba cha chini kwa chini katika kila sehemu ya watu wengi.

25 You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.

Umepajenga mahali pako palipoinuka kwenye kichwa cha kila njia na kuunajisi uzuri wako, kwa kuwa umeutoa mwili wako kwa kila mtu apitaye karibu na umefanya matendo mengi zaidi ya ukahaba.

26 You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.

Umetenda kama kahaba pamoja na Wamisri, tamaa ya jirani zako, na umetenda matendo mengi zaidi ya kikahaba, ili kuchochea hasira yangu.

27 See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.

Tazama! Nitakunyooshea mkono wangu na kupunguza chakula chako. Nitauchukua uhai wako juu ya adui zako, binti za Wafilisti, ambao walikuwa na haya ya tabia yako ya uchafu.

28 You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren't satisfied.

Umetenda kama kahaba pamoja na Waashuru kwa sababu hukuweza kuridhika. Umetenda kama kahaba na bado hukuridhika.

29 You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren't satisfied with this.

Umefanya matendo mengi zaidi ya kikahaba katika nchi ya jamii ya wana maji wa Ukaldayo, na wala hukuridhika kwa hayo.

30 "'How weak is your heart, says YHWH, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;

Jinsi moyo wako ulivyo dhaifu-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-kwamba utaweza kuyafanya haya mambo yote, matendo ya aibu ya kikahaba?

31 in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.

Mmepajenga mahali penu pa juu kwenye kichwa cha kila mtaa na kufanya chumba cha chini kwa chini katika kila sehemu ya watu wengi. Bado hukuwa kama kahaba kwa sababu ulikataa kulipwa ujira.

32 "'A wife who commits adultery, who takes strangers instead of her husband.

Wewe mwanamke mzinifu, wewe upokeaye wageni badala ya mume wako.

33 They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.

Watu hulipa kwa kila kahaba, lakini wewe huwapa mshara wako wapenzi wako wote na kuwapa rushwa ili waje kwako pande zote kwa matendo yako ya kikahaba.

34 You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.'

Hivyo kuna tofauti kati yako na hao wanawake wengine, kwa kuwa hakuna hata mmoja ajaye kwako kukuuliza kulala pamoja nao. Badala yake, unawalipa. Hakuna akulipaye.

35 "Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of YHWH:

Kwa hiyo, wewe kahaba, lisikilize neno la Yahwe.

36 Thus says YHWH, 'Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;

Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Kwa sababu umemwaga tamaa yako na kuonyesha sehemu zako za siri kupitia matendo yako ya ukahaba pamoja na wapenzi wako wote pamoja na sanamu zako za chukizo, na kwa sababu ya damu ya watoto wako uliyowapatia sanamu zako,

37 therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.

kwa hiyo, tazama! Nitawakusanya wapenzi wako wote uliokutana nao, wote ambao uliowapenda na wote uliowachukia, na nitawakusanya juu yako kila upande. Nitawaonyesha wazi sehemu zako za siri hivyo wanaweza kuona uchi wako wote.

38 I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

Kwa kuwa nitakuadhibu kwa uasherati na kumwaga damu, na nitaleta juu yako damu ya hasira yangu na hasira kali.

39 I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.

Nitakutia kwenye mikono yao hivyo watakutupa chini kwenye chumba cha chini kwa chini na kupavunja mahali pako pa juu na watakuvua nguo zako na kuchukua vito vyako vyote. watakuacha uchi bila nguo.

40 They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

Kisha wataleta kundi la watu juu yako na kukupiga kwa mawe, na kukukata kwa panga zao.

41 They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.

Watachoma nyumba zako na kufanya matendo mengi ya adhabu juu yako kwenye uso wa wanawake wengi, kwa kuwa nitakusimamisha ukahaba wako, na hutawalipa tena wapenzi wako.

42 So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

Kisha nitatuliza ghadhabu yangu juu yako; hasira yangu itakuacha, kwa kuwa nitaridhika, na sitakuwa na hasira tena.

43 "'Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, look, I also will bring your way on your head,' says YHWH: 'and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.

Kwa sababu hukuzikumbuka siku za ujana wako na kunifanya nitetemeke kwa hasira kwa sababu ya haya mambo yote, kwa hiyo, tazama! Mimi mwenyewe nitashusha kwa kichwa chako mwenyewe adhabu kwa kile ulichokifanya-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo. Hutaongeza ukahaba kwa matendo yako yote ya machukizo?

44 "'Look, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, "As is the mother, so is her daughter."

Tazama! Kila mtu azungumzaye Mithali kuhusu wewe atasema, “Kama alivyo, hivyo pia ni binti yake.”

45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hethite, and your father an Amorite.

Wewe ni binti wa mama yako, amchukiaye mume wake na mtoto wake, na wewe ni dada wa dada zako aliyewachukia waume zao na watoto wao. Mama yako alikuwa Mhiti, na baba yako alikuwa Mwamori.

46 Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

Dada yako mkubwa alikuwa Samaria na binti zake walikuwa wale waliokuwa wakiishi kaskazini, wakati dada yako mdogo alikuwa ni yule aliyekuwa akiishi kusini mwako, ambaye ni, Sodoma na binti zake.

47 Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing, you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.

Hukuenenda katika njia zao na kuchukua tabia zao na matendo yao, lakini katika njia zako zote ulikuwa mbaya zaidi kuliko walivyokuwa wao.

48 As I live,' says YHWH, 'Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.

Kama niishivyo- hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-dada yako Sodoma na binti zake, hawajafanya uovu mwingi kama wewe ulivyofanya na binti zako walivyofanya.

49 "'Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Tazama! Hii ilikuwa dhambi ya dada yako Sodoma: Alikuwa na kiburi katika mafanikio yake, uzembe na kutojali kuhusu chochote. Hakuitia nguvu mikono ya maskini na watu wahitaji.

50 They were haughty, and committed abomination before me. So I took them away, as you have seen.

Alikuwa na kiburi na kufanya machukizo mbele yangu, hivyo niliwatoa kama nilivyoona.

51 Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.

Samaria hakufanya hata nusu ya dhambi zako; badala yake, umefanya machukizo mengi kuliko walivyofanya, na umewonyesha hayo dada zako walikuwa bora kuliko wewe kwa sababu ya machukizo yako uyafanyayo!

52 You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.

Hasa wewe, umeonyesha aibu yako mwenyewe; kwa njia hii umewaonyesha dada zako walikuwa bora kuliko wewe, kwa sababu ya dhambi ulizozifanya katika hayo machukizo yako yote. Dada zako sasa wanaonekana bora kuliko wewe. Hasa wewe, umeonyesha aibu yako mwenyewe, kwa njia hii umewaonyesha kwamba dada zako walikuwa bora kuliko wewe.

53 "'I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;

Kwa kuwa nitarudisha masalia wao-masalia ya Sodoma na binti zake, na masalia ya Samaria na binti zake; lakini masalia yako yatakuwa miongoni mwao.

54 that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.

Kwa kufikiria haya mambo utaonyesha aibu yako; utakuwa mnyenyekevu kwa sababu ya kila kitu ulichokifanya, na kwa njia hii utakuwa faraja kwao.

55 Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.

Hivyo dada yako Sodoma na binti zake watarudishwa kwenye hali yao ya zamani, na Samaria na binti zake watarudishwa kwenye mashamba yao ya zamani. Kisha wewe na binti zako watarudishwa kwenye hali yako ya kawaida.

56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

Sodoma dada yako hakutajwa hata kwa kinywa chako katika siku ulipojiinua,

57 before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.

kabla uovu wako haujafunuliwa. Lakini sasa wewe ni kitu cha dharau kwa binti za Edomu na binti wote wa Wafilisti waliomzunguka. Watu wote wanakudharau wewe.

58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says YHWH.'

Utaonyesha aibu yako na matendo yako ya machukizo! -hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo!

59 "For thus says YHWH: 'I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitashughulika na wewe kama unavyostahili, wewe uliyedharau kiapo chako kwa kulivunja agano.

60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.

Lakini mimi mwenyewe nitalikumbuka agano langu nililolifanya pamoja nawe katika siku za ujana wako, nitaliimarisha agano la milele pamoja na wewe.

61 Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not by your covenant.

Kisha utazikumbuka njia zako na kuona aibu utakapo wapokea dada zako wakubwa na dada zako wadogo. Nitakupatia wao kama binti zako, lakini kwa sababu ya agano lako.

62 I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am YHWH;

Mimi nitaweka imara agano lango pamoja nawe, nawe utajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.

63 that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says YHWH.'"

Kwa sababu ya haya mambo, utakumbuka kila kitu na kuona aibu, hutafungua mdomo wako tena kuongea kwa sababu ya aibu yako, wakati nitakapokusamehe kwa yale yote uliyoyafanya-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”'
