Ezekiel 26
1 And it was in one [plus] ten year on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Mwaka wa kumi na moja, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 O son of humankind because that it said Tyre on Jerusalem aha! it is broken [the] doors of the peoples it has been turned over to me I will be filled it has been laid waste.
“Mwanadamu, kwa sababu Tiro amesema kuhusu Yerusalemu, ‘Aha! Lango la kwenda kwa mataifa limevunjika, nayo milango yake iko wazi mbele yangu, sasa kwa kuwa amekuwa magofu nitastawi.’
3 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you O Tyre and I will bring up on you nations many as brings up the sea waves its.
Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Mimi niko kinyume na wewe, ee Tiro, nami nitaleta mataifa mengi dhidi yako, kama bahari inayovurumisha mawimbi yake.
4 And they will destroy [the] walls of Tyre and they will tear down towers its and I will scrape away dust its from it and I will make it into bareness of rock.
Watavunja kuta za Tiro na kuibomoa minara yake, nitakwangua udongo wake na kuufanya mwamba mtupu.
5 A spreading place of nets it will be in [the] middle of the sea for I I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and it will become spoil for the nations.
Itakuwa huko katikati ya bahari patakuwa mahali pa kutandaza nyavu za kuvulia samaki, kwa maana nimenena, asema Bwana Mwenyezi. Atakuwa nyara kwa mataifa,
6 And daughters its which [are] on the land with the sword they will be killed and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
nayo makao yake huko bara yataangamizwa kwa upanga. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.
7 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon from [the] north [the] king of kings with horse[s] and with chariotry and with horsemen and a company and a people numerous.
“Kwa maana hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Kutoka kaskazini nitamleta dhidi ya Tiro Mfalme Nebukadneza wa Babeli, mfalme wa wafalme, akiwa na farasi na magari ya vita, wapanda farasi na jeshi kubwa.
8 Daughters your on the land with the sword he will kill and he will make on you a siege-wall and he will pour out on you a mound and he will raise up on you a body shield.
Atayaharibu makao yako huko bara kwa upanga, ataweka jeshi kukuzingira, atakuzingira mpaka kwenye kuta za ngome zako na kuinua ngao zake dhidi yako.
9 And [the] blow of battering-ram his he will set on walls your and towers your he will break down with swords his.
Ataelekeza mapigo ya vyombo vyake vya kubomolea dhidi ya kuta zako na kubomoa minara yako kwa silaha zake.
10 From [the] abundance of horses his it will cover you dust their from [the] sound of a horseman and wheel[s] and chariot[s] they will shake walls your when comes he in gates your like [the] entering of a city broken into.
Farasi zake zitakuwa nyingi sana kiasi kwamba utafunikwa na mavumbi watakayotimua. Kuta zako zitatikisika kwa mshindo wa farasi wa vita, magari makubwa na magari ya vita wakati aingiapo malango yako kama watu waingiao mji ambao kuta zake zimebomolewa kote.
11 With [the] hooves of horses his he will trample all streets your people your with the sword he will kill and [the] pillars of strength your to the ground it will come down.
“Kwato za farasi zake zitakanyaga barabara zako zote, atawaua watu wako kwa upanga na nguzo zako zilizo imara zitaanguka chini.
12 And they will plunder wealth your and they will take as spoil merchandise your and they will tear down walls your and [the] houses of desire your they will pull down and stones your and wood your and dust your in [the] midst of [the] waters they will put.
Watateka utajiri wako na kuchukua nyara bidhaa zako, watazivunja kuta zako na kuzibomoa nyumba zako nzuri, watatupa baharini mawe yako, mbao zako na kifusi chako.
13 And I will put an end to [the] noise of songs your and [the] sound of harps your not it will be heard again.
Nitakomesha kelele za nyimbo zako, na uimbaji wako wa kinubi kamwe hautasikika tena.
14 And I will make you into bareness of rock a spreading place of nets you will be not you will be built again for I Yahweh I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Nitakufanya mwamba mtupu, nawe utakuwa mahali pa kutandazia nyavu za kuvulia samaki. Kamwe hutajengwa tena, kwa maana Mimi Bwana nimenena, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
15 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to Tyre ¿ not - from [the] sound of downfall your when groan [the] fatally wounded when is killed a slaughter in [the] midst of you will they quake the islands.
“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo kwa Tiro: ‘Je, nchi za pwani hazitatetemeka kwa kishindo cha anguko lako, wakati majeruhi wanapolia kwa maumivu makali na wakati mauaji yanaendelea ndani yako?
16 And they will go down from on thrones their all [the] princes of the sea and they will remove robes their and [the] clothes of multicolored cloth their they will strip off trembling - they will be clothed on the ground they will sit and they will tremble to moments and they will be appalled on you.
Ndipo wakuu wote wa mataifa ya pwani watashuka kutoka kwenye viti vyao vya enzi na kuweka kando majoho yao na kuvua nguo zao zilizotariziwa. Wakiwa wamevikwa hofu kuu, wataketi chini ardhini, wakiwa wanatetemeka kila dakika na wakikustajabia.
17 And they will take up on you a lamentation and they will say to you how! you have perished O inhabited [city] from [the] seas O city that was praised which it was mighty in the sea it and inhabitants its which they gave terror their to all inhabitants its.
Ndipo wao watakuombolezea na kukuambia: “‘Tazama jinsi ulivyoharibiwa, ee mji uliokuwa na sifa, wewe uliyekaliwa na mabaharia! Ulikuwa na nguvu kwenye bahari, wewe na watu wako; wote walioishi huko, uliwatia hofu kuu.
18 Now they will tremble the islands [the] day of downfall your and they will be terrified the islands which [are] in the sea because went out you.
Sasa nchi za pwani zinatetemeka katika siku ya anguko lako; visiwa vilivyomo baharini vinaogopa kwa kuporomoka kwako.’
19 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh when make I you a city desolate like cities which not they are inhabited when bring up over you [the] deep and they will cover you the waters many.
“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Nitakapokufanya uwe mji wa ukiwa, kama miji isiyokaliwa tena na watu, nitakapoleta vilindi vya bahari juu yako na maji yake makuu yatakapokufunika,
20 And I will send down you with [those who] have gone down of [the] pit to a people of antiquity and I will cause to dwell you in [the] earth of [the] lowest parts like waste places from long ago with [those who] have gone down of [the] pit so that not you will remain and I will put splendor in [the] land of [the] living.
ndipo nitakapokushusha chini pamoja na wale washukao shimoni, kwa watu wa kale, nami nitakufanya uishi katika pande za chini za nchi kama katika magofu ya kale, pamoja na wale washukao shimoni, nawe hutarudi au kurejea kwenye makao yako katika nchi ya walio hai.
21 Terrors I will give to you and there not [will be] you so you may be sought and not you will be found again for ever [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Nitakufikisha mwisho wa kutisha wala hutakuwepo tena. Watu watakutafuta, lakini kamwe hutaonekana tena, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.”
