< Ezekiel 28 >

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 O son of humankind say to [the] ruler of Tyre thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh because it has been haughty heart your and you have said [am] a god I [the] seat of gods I sit in [the] heart of [the] seas and you [are] a human being and not a god and you have made heart your like [the] heart of a god.
“Mwanadamu, mwambie mfalme wa Tiro, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Kwa sababu moyo wako umejivuna na umesema, “Mimi ni mungu; nami ninaketi katika kiti cha enzi cha mungu katika moyo wa bahari.” Lakini wewe ni mwanadamu, wala si mungu, ingawa unafikiri kuwa una hekima kama mungu.
3 There! [are] wise you (more than Daniel *Q(K)*) any secret [thing] not people hold dark from you.
Je, wewe una hekima kuliko Danieli? Je, hakuna siri iliyofichika kwako?
4 By wisdom your and by understanding your you have acquired for yourself wealth and you have acquired gold and silver in treasuries your.
Kwa hekima yako na ufahamu wako, umejipatia utajiri, nawe umejikusanyia dhahabu na fedha katika hazina zako.
5 By [the] greatness of skill your by trading your you have increased wealth your and it has been haughty heart your in wealth your.
Kwa werevu wako mwingi katika biashara, umeongeza utajiri wako na kwa sababu ya utajiri wako moyo wako umekuwa na kiburi.
6 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because making you heart your like [the] heart of a god.
“‘Kwa hiyo, hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Kwa sababu unafikiri una hekima, mwenye hekima kama mungu,
7 Therefore here I [am] about to bring on you strangers ruthless [ones] of nations and they will draw swords their on [the] beauty of wisdom your and they will profane splendor your.
mimi nitawaleta wageni dhidi yako, taifa katili kuliko yote; watafuta panga zao dhidi ya uzuri wa hekima yako, na kuchafua fahari yako inayongʼaa.
8 To the pit they will bring down you and you will die [the] death of [the] slain in [the] heart of [the] seas.
Watakushusha chini shimoni, nawe utakufa kifo cha kikatili katika moyo wa bahari.
9 ¿ Really will you say [am] a god I before killer your and you [are] a human being and not a god in [the] hand of [those who] pierce you.
Je, wakati huo utasema, “Mimi ni mungu,” mbele ya wale wanaokuua? Utakuwa mwanadamu tu, wala si mungu, mikononi mwa hao wanaokuua.
10 [the] deaths of Uncircumcised [men] you will die by [the] hand of strangers for I I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Utakufa kifo cha wasiotahiriwa kwa mkono wa wageni. Kwa kuwa mimi nimenena, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.’”
11 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
12 O son of humankind take up a lamentation on [the] king of Tyre and you will say to him thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh you [were one who] seals an example full of wisdom and perfect of beauty.
“Mwanadamu, mfanyie maombolezo mfalme wa Tiro, nawe umwambie: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Ulikuwa kipeo cha ukamilifu, ukiwa umejaa hekima na mkamilifu katika uzuri.
13 In Eden [the] garden of God you were [was] every stone precious covering your ruby topaz and emerald chrysolite onyx and jasper sapphire turquoise and beryl and gold [the] workmanship of tambourines your and settings your on you on [the] day are created you they were prepared.
Ulikuwa ndani ya Edeni, bustani ya Mungu; kila kito cha thamani kilikupamba: akiki nyekundu, yakuti manjano na zumaridi, krisolitho, shohamu na yaspi, yakuti samawi, almasi na zabarajadi. Kuwekwa kwa hayo mapambo na kushikizwa kwake kulifanywa kwa dhahabu; siku ile ulipoumbwa yaliandaliwa tayari.
14 You [were] a cherub of expansion [one which] covers and I appointed you on [the] mountain of [the] holiness of God you were in [the] middle of stones of fire you walked about.
Ulitiwa mafuta kuwa kerubi mlinzi, kwa kuwa hivyo ndivyo nilivyokuweka wakfu. Ulikuwa kwenye mlima mtakatifu wa Mungu; ulitembea katikati ya vito vya moto.
15 [were] blameless You in ways your from [the] day are created you until it was found unrighteousness in you.
Ulikuwa mnyofu katika njia zako tangu siku ile ya kuumbwa kwako, hadi uovu ulipoonekana ndani yako.
16 In [the] abundance of trading your people filled [the] middle of you violence and you sinned and I profaned you from [the] mountain of God and I destroyed you O cherub [one which] covers from [the] middle of [the] stones of fire.
Kutokana na biashara yako iliyoenea, ulijazwa na dhuluma, nawe ukatenda dhambi. Hivyo nilikuondoa kwa aibu kutoka mlima wa Mungu, nami nikakufukuza, ee kerubi mlinzi, kutoka katikati ya vito vya moto.
17 It was haughty heart your in beauty your you perverted wisdom your on splendor your on [the] ground I threw you before kings I put you to look on you.
Moyo wako ukawa na kiburi kwa ajili ya uzuri wako, nawe ukaiharibu hekima yako kwa sababu ya fahari yako. Kwa hiyo nikakutupa chini; nimekufanya kioja mbele ya wafalme.
18 From [the] greatness of iniquities your by [the] unrighteousness of trading your you profaned sanctuaries your and I brought out fire from [the] midst of you it it consumed you and I made you into ash[es] on the ground to [the] eyes of all [those who] saw you.
Kwa dhambi zako nyingi na biashara yako ya dhuluma, umenajisi mahali pako patakatifu. Kwa hiyo nilifanya moto utoke ndani yako, nao ukakuteketeza, nami nikakufanya majivu juu ya nchi, machoni pa wote waliokuwa wakitazama.
19 All [those who] knew you among the peoples they were appalled on you terrors you became and there not [will be] you until perpetuity.
Mataifa yote yaliyokujua yanakustajabia; umefikia mwisho wa kutisha na hutakuwepo tena milele.’”
20 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
21 O son of humankind set face your to Sidon and prophesy on it.
“Mwanadamu, elekeza uso wako juu ya Sidoni, ukatabiri dhidi yake,
22 And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you O Sidon and I will gain glory in [the] midst of you and people will know that I [am] Yahweh when bring about I on it judgments and I will show myself holy in it.
nawe useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Mimi ni kinyume chako, ee Sidoni, nami nitapata utukufu ndani yako. Nao watajua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapotekeleza hukumu zangu na kuonyesha utakatifu wangu ndani yake.
23 And I will send on it a pestilence and blood in streets its and it will fall [the] slain in [the] midst of it by [the] sword on it from round about and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
Nitapeleka tauni ndani yake na kufanya damu itiririke katika barabara zake. Waliochinjwa wataanguka ndani yake, kwa upanga dhidi yake kila upande. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.
24 And not it will belong again to [the] house of Israel a brier [which] pricks and a thorn [which] causes pain from all around them who despise them and they will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.
“‘Nyumba ya Israeli hawatakuwa tena na majirani wenye nia ya kuwadhuru wanaoumiza kama michongoma na miiba mikali. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana Mwenyezi.
25 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh when gather I - [the] house of Israel from the peoples which they have been scattered among them and I will show myself holy among them to [the] eyes of the nations and they will dwell on own land their which I gave to servant my to Jacob.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Nitakapoikusanya nyumba ya Israeli kutoka mataifa ambako wametawanyika, nitajionyesha kuwa mtakatifu miongoni mwao machoni pa mataifa. Ndipo watakapoishi katika nchi yao wenyewe, niliyompa mtumishi wangu Yakobo.
26 And they will dwell on it to security and they will build houses and they will plant vineyards and they will dwell to security when bring about I judgments on all those [who] despise them from around them and they will know that I [am] Yahweh God their.
Wataishi humo kwa salama na watajenga nyumba na kupanda mashamba ya mizabibu, wataishi kwa salama nitakapowaadhibu majirani zao wote ambao waliwafanyia uovu. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wao.’”
