Ezekiel 5
1 And you O son of humankind take yourself - a sword sharp razor of barbers you will take it yourself and you will make [it] pass over head your and over beard your and you will take yourself scales of weight and you will divide them.
“Mwanadamu, sasa chukua upanga mkali na uutumie kama wembe wa kinyozi ili kunyolea nywele za kichwa chako na ndevu zako. Kisha uchukue mizani ya kupimia ukazigawanye nywele hizo.
2 A third [part] in the fire you will burn in [the] midst of the city when are completed [the] days of the siege and you will take third [part] you will strike [it] with the sword around it and third [part] you will disperse to the wind and a sword I will draw after them.
Wakati siku zako za kuzingirwa zitakapokwisha, choma theluthi moja ya hizo nywele zako kwa moto ndani ya mji. Chukua theluthi nyingine ya hizo nywele uzipige kwa upanga kuuzunguka mji wote na theluthi nyingine ya mwisho utaitawanya kwa upepo. Kwa kuwa nitawafuatia kwa upanga uliofutwa.
3 And you will take from there a few in number and you will confine them in skirts your.
Lakini chukua nywele chache uzifungie ndani ya pindo la vazi lako.
4 And some of them again you will take and you will throw them into [the] middle of the fire and you will burn them in the fire from it it will go out a fire to all [the] house of Israel.
Tena chukua nywele nyingine chache uzitupe motoni uziteketeze. Moto utaenea kutoka humo na kufika katika nyumba yote ya Israeli.
5 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh this [is] Jerusalem in [the] middle of the nations I have set it and [are] around it lands.
“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Huu ndio Yerusalemu ambao nimeuweka katikati ya mataifa ukiwa umezungukwa na nchi pande zote.
6 And it has rebelled against judgments my to wickedness more than the nations and statutes my more than the lands which [are] around it for judgments my they have rejected and statutes my not they have walked in them.
Lakini katika uovu wake umeasi sheria na amri zangu kuliko mataifa na nchi zinazouzunguka. Umeasi sheria zangu wala haukufuata amri zangu.
7 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh because tumult your [is] more than the nations which [are] around you in statutes my not you have walked and judgments my not you have observed and according to [the] judgments of the nations which [are] around you not you have done.
“Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Ninyi mmekuwa wakaidi kuliko mataifa yanayowazunguka na hamkufuata amri zangu wala kuzishika sheria zangu. Wala hamkuweza hata kuzifuata kawaida za mataifa yanayowazunguka.
8 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you also I and I will bring about in [the] midst of you judgments to [the] eyes of the nations.
“Kwa hiyo, hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo, Mimi mwenyewe, niko kinyume nanyi Yerusalemu, nitawapiga kwa adhabu yangu mbele ya mataifa.
9 And I will bring about in you [that] which not I have brought about and [that] which not I will do like it again because of all abominations your.
Kwa ajili ya sanamu zenu zote za machukizo, nitawafanyia kile ambacho kamwe sijawafanyia kabla wala kamwe sitawafanyia tena.
10 Therefore parents they will eat children in [the] midst of you and children they will eat parents their and I will bring about on you judgments and I will disperse all [the] rest of you to every wind.
Kwa hiyo katikati yenu baba watakula watoto wao na watoto watakula baba zao. Nitawapiga kwa adhabu, nami nitawatawanya watu wenu walionusurika pande zote za dunia.
11 Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if not because sanctuary my you have made unclean by all detestable things your and by all abominations your and also I I will shave [you] and not it will look with compassion eye my and also I not I will show pity.
Kwa hiyo hakika kama niishivyo, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, kwa kuwa mmenajisi mahali pangu patakatifu kwa sanamu zenu mbaya sana na desturi zenu za machukizo, mimi mwenyewe nitaondoa fadhili zangu kwenu.
12 third [part] of You by pestilence they will die and by famine they will come to an end in [the] midst of you and third [part] by the sword they will fall around you and third [part] to every wind I will disperse and a sword I will draw after them.
Theluthi ya watu wako watakufa kwa tauni au kwa njaa humu ndani yako, theluthi nyingine itaanguka kwa upanga nje ya kuta zako, nayo theluthi nyingine nitaitawanya kwenye pande nne kuwafuatia kwa upanga uliofutwa.
13 And it will be spent anger my and I will give rest to rage my on them and I will gain relief and they will know that I Yahweh I have spoken in jealousy my when complete I rage my on them.
“Ndipo hasira yangu itakapokoma na ghadhabu yangu dhidi yao itatulia, nami nitakuwa nimelipiza kisasi. Baada ya kuimaliza ghadhabu yangu juu yao, watajua kuwa mimi Bwana nimenena katika wivu wangu.
14 And I will make you into a ruin and into a reproach among the nations which [are] around you to [the] eyes of every [one who] passes by.
“Nitakuangamiza na kukufanya kitu cha kudharauliwa miongoni mwa mataifa yanayokuzunguka, machoni pa watu wote wapitao karibu nawe.
15 And it will be a reproach and a taunt a warning and a horror to the nations which [are] around you when bring about I on you judgments in anger and in rage and with rebukes of rage I Yahweh I have spoken.
Utakuwa kitu cha kudharauliwa na cha aibu, cha dhihaka, ovyo na kitu cha kutisha kwa mataifa yanayokuzunguka, nitakapokupiga kwa adhabu yangu katika hasira na ghadhabu yangu kwa kukukemea kwa ukali. Mimi Bwana nimesema.
16 When shoot I [the] arrows of famine harmful on them which they will be for destruction which I will shoot them to destroy you and famine I will increase on you and I will break of you staff of bread.
Nitakapokupiga kwa mishale yangu ya kufisha na yenye kuharibu ya njaa, nitaipiga ili kukuangamiza. Nitaleta njaa zaidi na zaidi juu yako na kukomesha upatikanaji wa chakula kwako.
17 And I will send on you famine and animal[s] wild and they will make childless you and pestilence and blood it will pass in you and sword I will bring on you I Yahweh I have spoken.
Nitapeleka njaa na wanyama wa mwituni dhidi yenu, navyo vitawaacha bila watoto. Tauni na umwagaji wa damu utapita katikati yenu, nami nitaleta upanga juu yenu. Mimi Bwana nimenena haya.”
