< Ezekiel 16 >
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 O son of humankind make known to Jerusalem abominations its.
“Mwanadamu, ijulishe Yerusalemu kuhusu mwenendo wake wa machukizo
3 And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem origins your and birth your [were] from [the] land of the Canaanite[s] father your [was] Amorite and mother your [was] a Hittite.
na useme, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi, analomwambia Yerusalemu: Wewe asili yako na kuzaliwa kwako ni katika nchi ya Kanaani, baba yako alikuwa Mwamori, naye mama yako alikuwa Mhiti.
4 And birth your on [the] day were born you not it was cut off umbilical cord your and with water not you were washed for cleansing and certainly not you were rubbed with salt and certainly not you were wrapped.
Siku uliyozaliwa kitovu chako hakikukatwa, wala hukuogeshwa kwa maji ili kukufanya safi, wala hukusuguliwa kwa chumvi wala kufunikwa kwa nguo.
5 Not it looked with compassion on you an eye to do for you one of these [things] for compassion on you and you were thrown out to [the] surface of the field in [the] loathing of life your on [the] day were born you.
Hakuna yeyote aliyekuonea huruma au kukusikitikia kiasi cha kukutendea mojawapo ya mambo haya. Badala yake, ulipozaliwa ulitupwa nje penye uwanja, kwa kuwa katika siku uliyozaliwa ulidharauliwa.
6 And I passed by at you and I saw you kicking about in blood your and I said to you in blood your live and I said to you in blood your live.
“‘Ndipo nilipopita karibu nawe nikakuona ukigaagaa kwenye damu yako, nawe ulipokuwa umelala hapo penye hiyo damu nikakuambia, “Ishi!”
7 Ten thousand like [the] growth of the field I made you and you grew and you grew up and you came into adornment ornaments breasts they were firm and hair your it had grown and you [were] nakedness and bareness.
Nilikufanya uote kama mmea wa shambani. Ukakua na kuongezeka sana, ukawa kito cha thamani kuliko vyote. Matiti yako yakatokeza na nywele zako zikaota, wewe uliyekuwa uchi na bila kitu chochote.
8 And I passed by at you and I saw you and there! time your [was] a time of love and I spread out [the] skirt of garment my over you and I covered nakedness your and I swore an oath to you and I came in a covenant with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and you belonged to me.
“‘Baadaye nikapita karibu nawe, nilipokutazama na kukuona kuwa umefikia umri wa kupendwa, nililitandaza vazi langu juu yako na kuufunika uchi wako. Nikakuapia na kuingia kwenye Agano na wewe, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, nawe ukawa wangu.
9 And I washed you with water and I washed off blood your from on you and I anointed you with oil.
“‘Nilikuogesha kwa maji, nikakuosha ile damu na kukupaka mafuta.
10 And I clothed you multicolored cloth and I shod you leather and I wrapped head your with fine linen and I covered you silk.
Nikakuvika vazi lililotariziwa na kukuvalisha viatu vya kamba vya ngozi. Nikakuvika nguo za kitani safi na kukufunika kwa mavazi ya thamani kubwa.
11 And I ornamented you ornament[s] and I put! bracelets on hands your and a chain on neck your.
Nikakupamba kwa vito: nikakuvika bangili mikononi mwako na mkufu shingoni mwako,
12 And I put a ring on nose your and earrings on ears your and a crown of beauty on head your.
nikaweka hazama puani mwako, vipuli masikioni mwako na taji nzuri sana kichwani mwako.
13 And you ornamented yourself gold and silver and clothing your ([was] fine linen *Q(K)*) and silk and multicolored cloth fine flour and honey and oil (you ate *Q(k)*) and you were beautiful with muchness muchness and you prospered into kingship.
Kwa hiyo ulipambwa kwa dhahabu na fedha, nguo zako zilikuwa za kitani safi, hariri na nguo iliyokuwa imetariziwa. Chakula chako kilikuwa unga laini, asali na mafuta ya zeituni. Ukawa mzuri sana ukainuka kuwa malkia.
14 And it went out of you name among the nations on beauty your for - [was] perfect it on splendor my which I had put on you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Umaarufu wako ulifahamika miongoni mwa mataifa kwa ajili ya uzuri wako, kwani ulikuwa mkamilifu kwa ajili ya utukufu wangu niliokuwa nimeuweka juu yako, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
15 And you trusted in beauty your and you acted as a prostitute on name your and you poured out prostitution your on every [one who] passed by to him let it belong.
“‘Lakini ulitumainia uzuri wako na kutumia umaarufu wako kuwa kahaba. Ulifanya uzinzi kwa kila mtu aliyepita, uzuri wako ukawa kwa ajili yake.
16 And you took some of clothes your and you made for yourself high places multicolored and you acted as a prostitute on them not coming and not it will be.
Ulichukua baadhi ya mavazi yako ukayatumia kupamba mahali pako pa juu pa kuabudia miungu, mahali ambapo ulifanyia ukahaba wako. Mambo ya namna hiyo hayastahili kutendeka wala kamwe kutokea.
17 And you took [the] articles of beauty your some of gold my and some of silver my which I had given to you and you made for yourself images of a male and you acted as a prostitute with them.
Pia ulichukua vito vizuri nilivyokupa, vito vilivyotengenezwa kwa dhahabu yangu na fedha yangu, ukajitengenezea navyo sanamu za kiume na ukafanya ukahaba nazo.
18 And you took [the] clothes of multicolored cloth your and you covered them and oil my and incense my (you put *Q(k)*) before them.
Ukayachukua mavazi yako niliyokupa yaliyotariziwa na ukazivalisha hizo sanamu, ukatoa mbele ya hizo sanamu mafuta yangu na uvumba wangu.
19 And food my which I had given to you fine flour and oil and honey [which] I had given to eat you and you put it before them to an odor of soothing and it was [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Pia chakula changu nilichokupa ili ule: unga laini, mafuta ya zeituni na asali, ulivitoa mbele yao kuwa uvumba wa harufu nzuri. Hayo ndiyo yaliyotokea, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
20 And you took sons your and daughters your whom you had borne to me and you sacrificed them to them to devour ¿ little (from prostitution your. *Q(K)*)
“‘Nawe uliwachukua wanao na binti zako ulionizalia mimi na kuwatoa kafara kuwa chakula kwa sanamu. Je, ukahaba wako haukukutosha?
21 And you slaughtered children my and you gave them when made pass through them to them.
Uliwachinja watoto wangu na kuwatoa kafara kwa sanamu.
22 And with all abominations your and prostitution your not (you remembered *Q(k)*) [the] days of youth your when were you nakedness and bareness kicking about in blood your you were.
Katika matendo yako yote ya machukizo, pamoja na ukahaba wako hukukumbuka siku za ujana wako, wakati ulipokuwa uchi kabisa bila kitu chochote, ulipokuwa ukigaagaa kwenye damu yako.
23 And it was after all wickedness your woe! woe! to you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
“‘Ole! Ole wako! Asema Bwana Mwenyezi. Pamoja na maovu yako yote mengine,
24 And you built for yourself a mound and you made for yourself a high place in every open place.
Ukajijengea jukwaa na kujifanyia mahali pa fahari pa ibada za miungu kwenye kila uwanja wa mikutano.
25 To every head of a road you built high place your and you made abominable beauty your and you opened wide feet your for every [one who] passed by and you increased (prostitution your. *Q(K)*)
Katika kila mwanzo wa barabara ulijenga mahali pa fahari pa ibada za miungu na kuaibisha uzuri wako, ukiutoa mwili wako kwa kuzidisha uzinzi kwa kila apitaye.
26 And you acted as a prostitute to [the] people of Egypt neighbors your becoming great of flesh and you increased prostitution your to provoke to anger me.
Ulifanya ukahaba wako na Wamisri, jirani zako waliojaa tamaa, ukaichochea hasira yangu kwa kuongezeka kwa uzinzi wako.
27 And there! I stretched out hand my on you and I diminished allotment your and I gave you in [the] will of [those who] hate you [the] daughters of [the] Philistines who were ashamed from conduct your licentiousness.
Hivyo nilinyoosha mkono wangu dhidi yako na kuipunguza nchi yako, nikakutia kwenye ulafi wa adui zako, binti za Wafilisti, walioshtushwa na tabia yako ya uasherati.
28 And you acted as a prostitute to [the] people of Assyria from not satiety your and you acted as a prostitute with them and also not you were satisfied.
Ulifanya ukahaba na Waashuru pia, kwa kuwa hukuridhika, hata baada ya hayo, ukawa bado hukutosheleka.
29 And you increased prostitution your to a land of merchant[s] Chaldea towards and also by this not you were satisfied.
Ndipo ukaongeza uzinzi wako kwa Wakaldayo nchi ya wafanyabiashara, hata katika hili hukutosheka.
30 How! hot [is] anger your [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh when do you all these [things] [the] deed[s] of a woman a prostitute imperious.
“‘Tazama jinsi ulivyo na dhamiri dhaifu, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, unapofanya mambo haya yote, ukifanya kama kahaba asiyekuwa na aibu!
31 When built you mound your at [the] head of every road and high place your (you made *Q(k)*) in every open place and not (you were *Q(k)*) like prostitute to scorn [the] hire of a prostitute.
Unapojenga jukwaa lako kila mwanzo wa barabara na kufanyiza mahali pa fahari pa ibada za miungu katika kila kiwanja cha wazi, lakini hukuwa kama kahaba, kwa sababu ulidharau malipo.
32 O wife adulterous [who] in place of husband her she takes strangers.
“‘Wewe mke mzinzi! Unapenda wageni, kuliko mume wako mwenyewe.
33 To all prostitutes men give a gift and you you have given gift your to all lovers your and you have bribed them to come to you from round about by prostitution your.
Kila kahaba hupokea malipo, lakini wewe hutoa zawadi kwa wapenzi wako wote, ukiwahonga ili waje kwako kutoka kila mahali kwa ajili ya ukahaba wako.
34 And it was in you contrariness from the women in prostitution your and after you not it was approached for prostitution and because gave you [the] hire of a prostitute and [the] hire of a prostitute not it was given to you and you became contrariness.
Kwa hiyo wewe ulikuwa tofauti na wanawake wengine kwenye ukahaba wako, hakuna aliyekutongoza ili kuzini naye, wewe ndiye uliyelipa wakati hakuna malipo uliyolipwa wewe. Wewe ulikuwa tofauti.
35 Therefore O prostitute hear [the] word of Yahweh.
“‘Kwa hiyo, wewe kahaba, sikia neno la Bwana!
36 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because was poured out lust your and it was uncovered nakedness your in prostitution your with lovers your and on all [the] idols of abominations your and according to [the] blood of children your which you gave to them.
Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Kwa kuwa umemwaga tamaa zako na kuonyesha uchi wako katika uzinzi wako kwa wapenzi wako na kwa sababu ya sanamu zako zote za machukizo na kwa sababu uliwapa damu ya watoto wako,
37 Therefore here I [am] about to gather all lovers your whom you were pleasing to them and all [those] whom you loved to all [those] whom you hated and I will gather them on you from round about and I will uncover nakedness your to them and they will see all nakedness your.
kwa hiyo nitawakusanya wapenzi wako wote, wale ambao ulijifurahisha nao, wale uliowapenda na wale uliowachukia pia. Nitawakusanya wote dhidi yako kutoka pande zote na nitakuvua nguo mbele yao, nao wataona uchi wako wote.
38 And I will judge you judgments of adulteresses and [women who] shed blood and I will put on you blood of rage and jealousy.
Nitakuhukumia adhabu wanayopewa wanawake wafanyao uasherati na hao wamwagao damu, nitaleta juu yenu kisasi cha damu cha ghadhabu yangu na wivu wa hasira yangu.
39 And I will give you in hand their and they will tear down mound your and they will be broken down high places your and they will strip off you clothes your and they will take [the] articles of beauty your and they will leave you nakedness and bareness.
Kisha nitakutia mikononi mwa wapenzi wako, nao watabomoa majukwaa yako na kuharibu mahali pako pa fahari pa ibada ya miungu. Watakuvua nguo zako na kuchukua vito vyako vya thamani na kukuacha uchi na bila kitu.
40 And they will bring up on you a company and they will stone you with stone[s] and they will cut to pieces you with swords their.
Wataleta kundi la watu dhidi yako, watakaokupiga kwa mawe na kukukatakata vipande vipande kwa panga zao.
41 And they will burn houses your with fire and they will bring about on you judgments to [the] eyes of women many and I will cause to cease you from a prostitute and also [the] hire of a prostitute not you will give again.
Watachoma nyumba zako na kutekeleza adhabu juu yako machoni pa wanawake wengi. Nitakomesha ukahaba wako, nawe hutawalipa tena wapenzi wako.
42 And I will give rest to rage my on you and it will turn aside jealousy my from you and I will be at peace and not I will be angry again.
Ndipo ghadhabu yangu dhidi yako itakapopungua na wivu wa hasira yangu utaondoka kwako. Nitatulia wala sitakasirika tena.
43 Because that not (you remembered *Q(k)*) [the] days of youth your and you were enraged to me in all these [things] and also I there! conduct your - on [the] head I will requite [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and not (did you do? *Q(k)*) the licentiousness to all abominations your.
“‘Kwa sababu hukuzikumbuka siku za ujana wako, lakini ulinikasirisha kwa mambo haya yote, hakika nitaleta juu ya kichwa chako yale uliyotenda, asema Bwana Mwenyezi. Je hukuongeza uasherati juu ya matendo yako yote ya kuchukiza?
44 There! every [one who] speaks a proverb on you he will speak a proverb saying [is] like mother her daughter her.
“‘Kila mtu atumiaye maneno ya mithali hii, atayatumia juu yako: “Alivyo mama, ndivyo alivyo bintiye.”
45 [are] [the] daughter of Mother your you [who] loathed husband her and children her and [are] [the] sister of sister your you who they loathed husbands their and children their mother your [was] a Hittite and father your [was] an Amorite.
Wewe ni binti halisi wa mama yako, ambaye alimchukia kabisa mume wake na watoto wake, tena wewe ni dada halisi wa dada zako, waliowachukia kabisa waume zao na watoto wao. Mama yako alikuwa Mhiti na baba yako alikuwa Mwamori.
46 And sister your old [was] Samaria she and daughters her who dwelt on north your and sister your young more than you who dwelt from south your [was] Sodom and daughters her.
Dada yako mkubwa alikuwa Samaria, aliyeishi upande wako wa kaskazini na binti zake, pamoja na dada yake, naye dada yako mdogo, aliyeishi kusini yako pamoja na binti zake, alikuwa Sodoma.
47 And not in ways their did you walk? and in abominations their (did you do? *Q(k)*) like a little only and you behaved corruptly more than them in all ways your.
Hukuziendea njia zao tu na kuiga matendo yao ya kuchukiza, bali kwa muda mfupi katika njia zako zote uliharibika tabia zaidi kuliko wao.
48 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if she did Sodom sister your she and daughters her just as you have done you and daughters your.
Hakika kama niishivyo, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, dada yako Sodoma pamoja na binti zake, kamwe hawakufanya yale ambayo wewe na binti zako mmefanya.
49 Here! this it was [the] iniquity of Sodom sister your pride surfeit of food and ease of quietness it belonged to her and to daughters her and [the] hand of [the] poor and [the] needy not she strengthened.
“‘Sasa hii ilikuwa ndiyo dhambi ya dada yako Sodoma: yeye na binti zake walikuwa na majivuno, walafi na wazembe, hawakuwasaidia maskini na wahitaji.
50 And they were haughty and they did abomination before me and I removed them just when I saw.
Walijivuna na kufanya mambo ya machukizo sana mbele zangu. Kwa hiyo niliwakatilia mbali nami kama mlivyoona.
51 And Samaria according to [the] half of sins your not it sinned and you have increased abominations your more than them and you have made appear righteous (sisters your *Q(K)*) by all abominations your which (you have done. *Q(k)*)
Samaria hakufanya hata nusu ya dhambi ulizofanya. Wewe umefanya mambo mengi sana ya kuchukiza kuwaliko wao, nawe umewafanya dada zako waonekane kama wenye haki kwa ajili ya mambo haya yote uliyoyafanya.
52 Also you - bear disgrace your that you have mediated for sister your by sins your which you have acted abominably more than them they are righteous more than you and also you be ashamed and bear disgrace your because have made appear righteous you sisters your.
Chukua aibu yako, kwa kuwa umefanya uovu wa dada zako uwe si kitu, nao waonekane kama wenye haki. Kwa kuwa dhambi zako zilikuwa mbaya zaidi kuliko zao, wameonekana wenye haki zaidi kuliko wewe. Kwa hiyo basi, chukua aibu yako, kwa kuwa umewafanya dada zako waonekane wenye haki.
53 And I will turn back captivity their ([the] captivity of *Q(k)*) Sodom and daughters her and ([the] captivity of *Q(k)*) Samaria and daughters her (and [the] captivity of *Q(k)*) captivities your in midst of them.
“‘Lakini nitarudisha baraka za Sodoma na binti zake na za Samaria na binti zake, nami nitarudisha baraka zako pamoja na zao,
54 So that you may bear disgrace your and you will be ashamed from all that you have done when comfort you them.
ili upate kuchukua aibu yako na kufedheheka kwa ajili ya yote uliyotenda ambayo yamekuwa faraja kwao wakijilinganisha na wewe.
55 And sisters your Sodom and daughters her they will return to former state their and Samaria and daughters her they will return to former state their and you and daughters your you will return to former state your.
Nao dada zako, Sodoma na binti zake na Samaria na binti zake, watarudishwa kama vile walivyokuwa mwanzoni, nawe pamoja na binti zako mtarudishwa kama mlivyokuwa hapo awali.
56 And not did she become? Sodom sister your a mention in mouth your in [the] day of pride your.
Hukuweza hata kumtaja dada yako Sodoma kwa sababu ya dharau yako katika siku za kiburi chako,
57 Before it was uncovered wickedness your like [the] time of [the] reproach of [the] daughters of Aram and all around it [the] daughters of [the] Philistines who despise you from round about.
kabla uovu wako haujafunuliwa. Hata hivyo, sasa unadhihakiwa na binti za Edomu na jirani zake wote, na binti za Wafilisti, wale wote wanaokuzunguka wanakudharau.
58 Licentiousness your and abominations your you you will bear them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Utachukua matokeo ya uasherati wako na matendo yako ya kuchukiza, asema Bwana.
59 That thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh (and I will deal with *Q(K)*) with you just as you have done [you] who you despised an oath by breaking a covenant.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Nitakushughulikia kama unavyostahili, kwa kuwa umedharau kiapo changu kwa kuvunja Agano.
60 And I will remember I covenant my with you in [the] days of youth your and I will establish for you a covenant of perpetuity.
Lakini nitakumbuka Agano nililolifanya nawe wakati wa ujana wako, nami nitaweka nawe Agano imara la milele.
61 And you will remember ways your and you will be ashamed when receive you sisters your old more than you to young more than you and I will give them to you to daughters and not from covenant your.
Ndipo utakapozikumbuka njia zako na kuona aibu utakapowapokea dada zako, wale walio wakubwa wako na wadogo wako. Nitakupa hao wawe binti zako, lakini si katika msingi wa Agano langu na wewe.
62 And I will establish I covenant my with you and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
Hivyo nitalifanya imara Agano langu na wewe, nawe utajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
63 So that you may remember and you will be ashamed and not it will belong to you again an opening of a mouth because of disgrace your when make atonement I for you for all that you have done [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Basi, nitakapofanya upatanisho kwa ajili yako, kwa yale yote uliyoyatenda, utakumbuka na kuaibika, nawe kamwe hutafumbua tena kinywa chako kwa sababu ya aibu yako, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.’”
