Ezekiel 7
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Neno la Yahwe likanijia, likisema,
2 Thou therefore O son of man. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, To the so of Israel, there is an end, - The end hath come upon the four skirts of the land.
Wewe, mwanadamu-Bwana Yahwe asema hivi kwa nchi ya Israeli.”'Mwisho! Mwisho umekuja kwenye mipaka minne ya nchi.
3 Now is the end upon thee, Therefore will I send mine anger against thee, And judge thee according to thy ways, - And lay upon thee all thine abominations;
Sasa mwisho uko juu yako, kwa kuwa natuma ghadhabu yangu juu yako, nitakuhukumu kulingana na njia zako; nitaleta machukizo yako yote juu yako.
4 And mine eye shall not shield thee. Neither will I pity, —. For thy ways—upon thee, will I lay. And thine abominations in thy midst, shall be found, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Kwa kuwa macho yangu hayatakuhurumia, na sitakuharibu. Badala yake, nitaleta njia zako zote juu yako, na machukizo yako yote yatakuwa katikati yako, hivyo utajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
5 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh: A calamity, a sole calamity, lo! it hath come.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Msiba! Msiba wa pekee! Tazama, unakuja.
6 An end hath come, Come hath the end It hath roused itself up against thee, — Lo! it hath come.
Mwisho unakuja hakika. Mwisho umeamsha dhidi yenu. Tazama! unakuja!
7 The circle hath come round unto thee. O inhabitant of the land, - The time, hath come, The day of consternation, hath drawn near. And not the joyful shout of the mountains.
Kifo chako kinakuja kwako ukaaye kwenye nchi. Mda umefika; siku ya uharibifu iko karibu, na milima haitakuwa na shangwe tena.
8 Now shortly, will I pour out mine indignation upon thee, And will bring to an end mine anger against thee, And will judge thee according to thy ways, - And will lay upon thee all thine abominations.
Sasa baada ya mda mfupi nitamwaga dhahabu yangu juu yako na kujaza hasira yangu juu yako wakati nitakapokuhukumu kulingana na njia zako na kuleta machukizo yako yote juu yako.
9 And mine eye shall not shield thee Neither will I have pity, — According to thy ways, unto thee will I render, And thine abominations, in thy midst shall be found, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh am smiting.
Kwa kuwa jicho langu halitaona kwa huruma, sitakuharibu, kama ulivyofanya, nitafanya kwako; na machukizo yako yatakuwa katikati yako hivyo utajua kwamba ni mimi Yahwe, anayekuadhibu.
10 Lo! the day, Lo! it hath come, The circle, hath gone forth, The sceptre, hath blossomed, Insolence hath sprouted:
Tazama, siku! Tazama, inakuja! Kifo kimetoka! fimbo ya kuadhibia imechanua, kiburi kimechipua!
11 Violence hath risen up as a sceptre of lawlessness, —There are none of them And none of their multitude And none of their throngs And no lamentation over them.
Udhalimu umekua kwenye fimbo ya udhaifu-hakuna kati yao, na hakuna katika ya kundi lao, hakuna katika utajiri wao, na hakuna wa muhimu wao atakaye baki!
12 The time hath come. The day hath arrived, The buyer, let him not rejoice, and The seller, let him not mourn, — For indignation, is against all her multitude.
Muda unakuja; siku imekaribia. Usimuache anayenunua shangwe, wala asihuzunike auzaye, kwa kuwa hasira yangu iko juu ya kikundi kizima!
13 For the seller, unto that which is to be sold, shall not return, though yet among the living, were their life, for the vision is against all her multitude. He shall not return, And, no man, by his punishment, shall strengthen, his life.
Kwa kuwa muuzaji hatarudia kile kilichouzwa, kadiri wanapoendelea kuishi, kwa kuwa maono yako juu yako kikundi kizima. Hawatarudi, kwa kuwa hakuna mtu anayeishi kwenye dhambi atakayejitia nguvu!
14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make All ready, Yet is there none going to the battle; For mine indignation is against all her multitude.
Wamepiga tarumbeta na kufanya kila kitu tayari, lakini hakuna mtu anayeenda kupigana; kwa kuwa hasira yangu iko juu ya kundi zima.
15 The sword without, and Pestilence and famine within, — He that is in the field by the sword, shall die, and He that is in the city famine or pestilence shall devour him;
Upanga uko nje, na tauni na njaa viko nje kwenye jengo. Wale walioko shambani watakufa kwa upanga, wakati njaa na tauni zitakapowala wale waliopo kwenye mji.
16 While they who escape of them shall escape and become on the mountains as the doves of the valleys, all of them cooing, —each one in his punishment.
Lakini watakao salia watatoroka kutoka miongoni mwao, na watakwenda kwenye milima. Kama hua wa mabondeni, wote watalia-kila mtu kwa ajili ya uovu wake.
17 All hands shall be unnerved; and All knees shall be weak as water,
Kila mkono utasita na kila goti litakuwa dhaifu kama maji, na watavaa nguo za magunia, na hofu kuu itawafunika,
18 Therefore shall they gird themselves with sackcloth, And shuddering shall cover them, -And in all faces, shall be paleness, And in all their heads, baldness.
na aibu itakuwa juu ya kila uso, na upara juu ya vichwa vyao vyote.
19 Their silver into the streets, shall they cast and Their gold for throwing away, shall serve, Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh, Their craving, shall they not satisfy, and Their belly, shall they not fill, For a stumbling-block, hath their iniquity become.
Watatupa fedha yao kwenye mitaa na dhahabu yao itakuwa kama jalala. Fedha yao na dhahabu yao haitaweza kuwaokoa katika siku ya ghadhabu ya Yahwe. Maisha yao hayataokolewa, na njaa yao haitashiba, kwa sababu uovu wao umekuwa kizuizi.
20 When, the beauty of his own ornament, he had, in majesty, placed, Then, the images, of their abominations Their detestable things, Made they therein, — For this cause have I delivered it up to them for removal;
Kwenye fahari yao walichukua kito yake nzuri za mapambo, pamoja nao wakatengeza sanamu zao za vinyago, na vitu vyao vichukizavyo. Kwa hiyo, nayabadilisha haya kuwa kitu najisi kwao.
21 Yea I will deliver it Into the hand of foreigners for a prey, And to the lawless ones of the earth for a spoil, And they will profane it;
Kisha nitawapatia hivyo vitu kwenye mikono ya wageni kama mateka na kwa waovu wa dunia kama mateka, na watapanajisi.
22 And I will turn away my face from them, And they will profane my cherished place, —Yea there will enter it violent men Who will profane it.
Kisha nitaugeuza uso wangu mbali kutoka kwao watakapo najisi mahali pangu pa siri; maharamia wataingia humo na kupanajisi.
23 Prepare thou a chain, — For, the land, is full of the crime of bloodshed, And, the city, is full of violence.
Tengeneza mnyororo, kwa sababu nchi imejaa hukumu ya damu, na mji umejaa udhalimu.
24 So then I will bring in the wicked ones of the nations, And they shall take possession of their houses, —And I will cause to cease the pomp of the strong ones, And their holy places shall be profaned.
Hivyo nitaleta waovu wengi wa mataifa, na watamilki nyumba zao, na nitaleta mwisho kwenye fahari ya uweza, kwenda mahali pao patakatifu patanajisiwa!
25 Destruction, hath entered, - And they shall seek welfare and there be none.
Hofu itakuja! Wataitafuta amani, lakini haitakuwepo.
26 Disaster upon disaster, shall come, And report after report shall arise, Therefore shall they seek a vision from prophet, And law shall perish from priest. And counsel from elders.
Majanga juu ya majanga yatakuja juu yangu, na kutakuwa na tetesi juu ya tetesi. Kisha watatafuta ono moja kutoka kwa nabii, lakini sheria itawaangamiza kutoka kwa kuhani na shauri kutoka kwa wazee.
27 The king, shall mourn and, The chief, shall clothe himself with astonishment, and, the hands of the people of the land, shall be wrung in anguish, — After their own way, will I deal with them and, With their own sentences, will I sentence them, And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
Mfalme ataomboleza na mwana wa mfalme atakata tamaa, wakati mikono ya watu wa nchi itatetemeka kwa hofu. Kulingana na njia zao wenyewe nitafanya hivi kwao! Nitawahukumu sawa sawa na wanavyostahili hadi watakapojua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.'”
