< Ezekiel 38 >
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 O son of humankind set face your to Gog [the] land of Magog [the] prince of [the] head of Meshech and Tubal and prophesy on him.
“Mwanadamu, kaza uso wako dhidi ya Gogu, katika nchi ya Magogu, mkuu wa Roshi, Mesheki na Tubali, tabiri dhidi yake
3 And you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against you O Gog [the] prince of [the] head of Meshech and Tubal.
na useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Ee Gogu, mimi ni kinyume nawe, mtawala mkuu wa Roshi, Mesheki na Tubali.
4 And I will turn around you and I will put hooks in jaws your and I will bring out you and all army your horses and horsemen clothed of perfection all of them a company great body shield and shield wielders of swords all of them.
Nitakugeuza kuelekea ulikotoka na kukutia ndoana kwenye mataya yako na kukutoa nje wewe pamoja na jeshi lako lote, yaani, farasi wako, wapanda farasi wako waliojiandaa tayari kwa vita, pamoja na kundi kubwa la wajeuri wakiwa na ngao na vigao, wote wakipunga panga zao.
5 Persia Cush and Put [will be] with them all of them shield and helmet.
Uajemi, Kushi na Putu watakuwa pamoja nao, wote wakiwa na ngao na kofia za chuma,
6 Gomer and all troops its Beth Togarmah [the] remotest parts of [the] north and all troops its peoples many [will be] with you.
pia Gomeri pamoja na vikosi vyake vyote, na Beth-Togarma kutoka kaskazini ya mbali pamoja na vikosi vyake vyote, mataifa mengi wakiwa pamoja nawe.
7 Be prepared and prepare for yourself O you and all company your that have assembled with you and you will become for them a guard.
“‘Jiandae, uwe tayari, wewe na makundi yako yote ya wajeuri yaliyokusanyika pamoja nawe, nawe waamrishe.
8 From days many you will be mustered at [the] end of the years you will go - into a land - restored from [the] sword gathered together from peoples many on [the] mountains of Israel which they had become a desolation continually and it from peoples it had been brought out and they will be dwelling to security all of them.
Baada ya siku nyingi utaitwa vitani. Katika miaka ijayo, utaivamia nchi ile ambayo imepona kutoka vita, ambayo watu wake walikusanywa kutoka mataifa mengi kuja katika milima ya Israeli, ambayo kwa muda mrefu ilikuwa imeachwa ukiwa. Wameletwa kutoka mataifa na sasa wote wanaishi katika hali ya salama.
9 And you will go up like storm you will go like cloud [about] to cover the land you are you and all troops your and peoples many with you.
Wewe na vikosi vyako vyote na mataifa mengi yaliyo pamoja nawe mtapanda juu, mtawazoa kama tufani na kuifunika nchi kama wingu.
10 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and it will be - on the day that they will come up words on heart your and you will plan a plan evil.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Katika siku ile mawazo yataingia moyoni mwako nawe utapanga mipango mibaya.
11 And you will say I will go up on a land of villages I will go those at peace [who] dwell to security all of them [are] dwelling with not a wall and bar[s] and gates not [belong] to them.
Utasema, “Nitapigana vita na nchi ambayo vijiji vyake havina maboma. Nitawashambulia watu wanaoishi kwa amani na wasiotarajia vita: wote wanaishi bila maboma na bila malango na makomeo.
12 To plunder plunder and to take as spoil spoil to turn hand your on waste places inhabited and against a people gathered from nations [who] have acquired livestock and possession[s] [who] dwell at [the] center of the earth.
Nitateka mateka na kuchukua nyara mali za wale waliorudi kuishi katika mahame na wale watu waliokusanywa kutoka kwa mataifa, ambao sasa wana mifugo na mali nyingi, wanaoishi katikati ya nchi.”
13 Sheba and Dedan and [the] traders of Tarshish and all young lions its they will say to you ¿ to plunder plunder [are] you coming ¿ to take as spoil spoil have you assembled company your to carry away - silver and gold to take livestock and possession[s] to plunder plunder great.
Sheba na Dedani pamoja na wafanyabiashara wa Tarshishi na vijiji vyake vyote watakuambia, “Je, umekuja kuteka mateka? Je, umekusanya makundi yako ya wajeuri ili kuchukua nyara mali, kutwaa fedha na dhahabu, kutunyangʼanya mifugo na mali na kuteka nyara nyingi zaidi?”’
14 Therefore prophesy O son of humankind and you will say to Gog thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ not - on the day that when dwell people my Israel to security will you know.
“Kwa hiyo, mwanadamu, tabiri na umwambie Gogu: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Katika siku ile, watu wangu Israeli watakapokuwa wanaishi salama, Je, wewe mwenyewe hutalijua hilo?
15 And you will come from place your from [the] remotest parts of [the] north you and peoples many with you riders of horses all of them a company great and an army great.
Utakuja kutoka kwako huko kaskazini ya mbali, ukiwa pamoja na mataifa mengi, wote wakiwa wamepanda farasi, kundi kubwa, jeshi kuu.
16 And you will go up on people my Israel like cloud to cover the land at [the] end of the days it will happen and I will bring you on land my so as to know the nations me when I show holy myself by you to eyes their O Gog.
Utakuja dhidi ya watu wangu Israeli kama wingu lifunikavyo nchi. Siku zijazo, ee Gogu, nitakuleta wewe dhidi ya nchi yangu, ili kwamba mataifa wapate kunijua Mimi nitakapojionyesha mtakatifu kwa kukupitia wewe mbele ya macho yao.
17 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ [are] you he whom I spoke in days former by [the] hand of servants my [the] prophets of Israel who prophesied in the days those years to bring you on them.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Je, wewe si yule niliyenena juu yako katika siku za zamani kwa kupitia kwa watumishi wangu manabii wa Israeli? Wakati ule walitabiri kwa miaka mingi kwamba ningekuleta upigane nao.
18 And it will be - on the day that on [the] day comes Gog on [the] land of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh it will rise rage my in anger my.
Hili ndilo litakalotokea katika siku ile: Gogu atakaposhambulia nchi ya Israeli, hasira yangu kali itaamka, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
19 And in jealousy my in [the] fire of wrath my I have spoken if not - on the day that it will be an earthquake great on [the] land of Israel.
Katika wivu wangu na ghadhabu yangu kali ninasema kuwa wakati ule patakuwepo tetemeko kuu katika nchi ya Israeli.
20 And they will shake from before me [the] fish of the sea and [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] animal[s] of the field and every creeping thing which creeps on the ground and all humankind which [is] on [the] surface of the ground and they will be thrown down the mountains and they will fall the steep places and every wall to the ground it will fall.
Samaki wa baharini, ndege wa angani, wanyama wa kondeni, kila kiumbe kitambaacho ardhini, na watu wote walio juu ya uso wa nchi watatetemeka mbele zangu. Milima itapinduka, majabali yatapasuka na kila ukuta utaanguka chini.
21 And I will summon on him to all mountains my a sword [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh [the] sword of each on brother his it will be.
Nitaita upanga vita dhidi ya Gogu juu ya milima yangu yote, asema Bwana Mwenyezi. Upanga wa kila mtu utakuwa dhidi ya ndugu yake.
22 And I will enter into judgment with him by pestilence and by blood and rain overflowing and stones of hail fire and sulfur I will rain down on him and on troops his and on peoples many which [are] with him.
Nitatekeleza hukumu juu yake kwa tauni na kwa umwagaji wa damu. Nitaifanya mvua ya mafuriko kunyesha, mvua ya mawe na moto wa kiberiti juu yake na juu ya vikosi vyake na juu ya mataifa mengi walio pamoja naye.
23 And I will show myself great and I will show myself holy and I will make myself known to [the] eyes of nations many and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
Nami hivyo ndivyo nitakavyoonyesha ukuu wangu na utakatifu wangu, nami nitajijulisha mbele ya macho ya mataifa mengi. Ndipo watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’
