Ezekiel 29
1 In the year tenth in the tenth [month] on [day] two [plus] ten of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Katika mwaka wa kumi, mwezi wa kumi, siku ya kumi na mbili, neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 O son of humankind set face your on Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and prophesy on him and on Egypt all of it.
“Mwanadamu, elekeza uso wako juu ya Farao mfalme wa Misri na utabiri dhidi yake na dhidi ya Misri yote.
3 Speak and you will say thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you O Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt the sea monster great which lies in among canals its which it has said [belongs] to me River my and I I made for myself.
Nena, nawe useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Mimi ni kinyume nawe, Farao, mfalme wa Misri, joka kubwa ulalaye katikati ya vijito vyako. Unasema, “Mto Naili ni wangu mwenyewe; niliufanya kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe.”
4 And I will put (hooks *Q(k)*) in jaws your and I will make cling [the] fish of canals your to scales your and I will bring up you from among canals your and all [the] fish of canals your to scales your it will cling.
Lakini nitatia ndoana katika mataya yako nami nitawafanya samaki wa vijito vyako washikamane na magamba yako. Nitakutoa katikati ya vijito vyako, pamoja na samaki wote walioshikamana na magamba yako.
5 And I will abandon you the wilderness towards you and all [the] fish of canals your on [the] surface of the field you will fall not you will be gathered and not you will be gathered to [the] animal[s] of the earth and to [the] bird[s] of the heavens I will give you for food.
Nitakutupa jangwani, wewe pamoja na samaki wote wa vijito vyako. Utaanguka uwanjani, nawe hutakusanywa au kuchukuliwa. Nitakutoa uwe chakula kwa wanyama wa nchi na ndege wa angani.
6 And they will know all [the] inhabitants of Egypt that I [am] Yahweh because have been they a staff of reed for [the] house of Israel.
Ndipo wale wote waishio Misri watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana. “‘Umekuwa fimbo ya tete kwa nyumba ya Israeli.
7 When seized they you (by the hand *Q(K)*) you were crushed and you broke of them every shoulder and when leaned they on you you were broken and you caused to stand of them all hips.
Walipokushika kwa mikono yao, ulivunjika na kuchana mabega yao; walipokuegemea, ulivunjika na migongo yao ikateguka.
8 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to bring on you a sword and I will cut off from you humankind and animal[s].
“‘Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Nitaleta upanga juu yako na kuua watu wako na wanyama wao.
9 And it will become [the] land of Egypt a desolation and a ruin and they will know that I [am] Yahweh because he said [the] River [belongs] to me and I I made [it].
Misri itakuwa ukiwa na isiyolimwa wala kukaliwa na watu. Ndipo watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana. “‘Kwa sababu ulisema, “Mto Naili ni wangu; mimi niliufanya,”
10 Therefore here I [am] against you and against canals your and I will make [the] land of Egypt ruins of destruction a desolation from Migdol Syene and to [the] border of Cush.
kwa hiyo mimi ni kinyume nawe na kinyume na vijito vyako, nami nitaifanya nchi ya Misri kuwa magofu na ukiwa isiyolimwa wala kukaliwa na watu kuanzia Migdoli hadi Aswani, hata kufikia mpakani wa Ethiopia.
11 Not it will pass in it [the] foot of human[s] and [the] foot of animal[s] not it will pass in it and not it will remain forty year[s].
Hakuna unyayo wa mtu au mnyama utakaopita ndani yake, wala hakuna yeyote atakayeishi humo kwa muda wa miaka arobaini.
12 And I will make [the] land of Egypt a desolation in midst of - lands made desolate and cities its in midst of cities laid waste they will be a desolation forty year[s] and I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.
Nitaifanya nchi ya Misri ukiwa, miongoni mwa nchi zilizo ukiwa, nayo miji yake itabaki ukiwa miaka arobaini miongoni mwa miji iliyo magofu. Nami nitawatawanya Wamisri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwafukuza huku na huko katika nchi nyingine.
13 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh from [the] end of forty year[s] I will gather Egypt from the peoples where they were scattered there towards.
“‘Lakini hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Mwishoni mwa hiyo miaka arobaini, nitawakusanya Wamisri kutoka mataifa walikotawanywa.
14 And I will turn back [the] captivity of Egypt and I will bring back them [the] land of Pathros to [the] land of origin their and they will be there a kingdom lowly.
Nitawarudisha hao Wamisri kutoka kwenye kutekwa kwao na kuwaweka katika Pathrosi, nchi ya baba zao. Huko watakuwa na ufalme usiokuwa na nguvu.
15 More than the kingdoms it will be lowly and not it will exalt itself again over the nations and I will make small them to not to rule over the nations.
Utakuwa ufalme dhaifu kuliko zote na kamwe Misri haitajikweza tena juu ya mataifa mengine. Nitaufanya ufalme wake dhaifu sana kiasi kwamba kamwe hautatawala tena juu ya mataifa mengine.
16 And not it will become again for [the] house of Israel a confidence bringing to remembrance iniquity when turned they after them and they will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.
Misri haitakuwa tena tumaini la watu wa Israeli bali itakuwa kumbukumbu ya dhambi yao kwa kuigeukia kuomba msaada. Ndipo watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana Mwenyezi.’”
17 And it was in twenty and seven year in the first [month] on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba, mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya kwanza, neno la Bwana likanijia, kusema:
18 O son of humankind Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon he made to labor army his labor great against Tyre every head [was] made bald and every shoulder [was] made bare and wage[s] not it belonged to him and to army his from Tyre on the labor which he had labored on it.
“Mwanadamu, Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli aliongoza jeshi lake kufanya kazi ngumu dhidi ya Tiro; kila kichwa kilipata upaa na kila bega likachunika. Lakini yeye na jeshi lake hawakupata malipo yoyote kutokana na muda wote aliongoza hiyo vita dhidi ya Tiro.
19 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to give to Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon [the] land of Egypt and he will carry off wealth its and he will plunder plunder its and he will take as spoil spoil its and it will be wage[s] for army his.
Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Nitaitia Misri mikononi mwa Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli, naye atachukua utajiri wa Misri. Atateka mateka na kuchukua nyara mali za Misri kama ujira kwa ajili ya jeshi lake.
20 Recompense his which he served for it I have given to him [the] land of Egypt that they acted for me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Nimempa mfalme wa Babeli nchi ya Misri kuwa ujira kwa juhudi zake kwa sababu yeye na jeshi lake walifanya kwa ajili yangu, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
21 On the day that I will make grow a horn for [the] house of Israel and to you I will give opening of mouth in midst of them and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
“Katika siku hiyo nitaifanya nyumba ya Israeli iwe na nguvu nami nitakifungua kinywa chako miongoni mwao. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
