Ezekiel 30
1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 “Son of man, prophesy and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Wail, “Woe is the coming day.”
“Mwanadamu, toa unabii na useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Ombolezeni ninyi na mseme, “Ole wa siku ile!”
3 The day is near. The day is near for Yahweh. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for nations.
Kwa kuwa siku ile imekaribia, siku ya Bwana imekaribia, siku ya mawingu, siku ya maangamizi kwa mataifa.
4 Then a sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when the killed people fall in Egypt— when they take her wealth, and when her foundations are ruined.
Upanga utakuja dhidi ya Misri, nayo maumivu makuu yataijia Ethiopia. Mauaji yatakapoangukia Misri, utajiri wake utachukuliwa na misingi yake itabomolewa.
5 Cush and Put, Lydia and all Arabia, and Libya, together with the people belonging to the covenant—they will all fall by the sword.
Kushi na Putu, Ludi na Arabia yote, Libya na watu wa nchi ya Agano watauawa kwa upanga pamoja na Misri.
6 Yahweh says this: So the ones who support Egypt will fall, and the pride of her strength will go down. From Migdol to Syene their soldiers will fall by the sword—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: “‘Wale walioungana na Misri wataanguka na kiburi cha nguvu zake kitashindwa. Kutoka Migdoli hadi Aswani, watauawa ndani yake kwa upanga, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
7 They will be appalled in the midst of the abandoned lands, and their cities will be among all the ruined cities.
“‘Hizo nchi zitakua ukiwa miongoni mwa nchi zilizo ukiwa, nayo miji yao itakuwa magofu miongoni mwa miji iliyo magofu.
8 Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I set fire in Egypt, and when all of her helpers are destroyed.
Ndipo watakapojua kwamba mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapoiwasha Misri moto na wote wamsaidiao watapondwa.
9 In that day messengers will go out from before me in ships to terrorize a secure Cush, and there will be anguish among them on the day of Egypt's doom. For behold! It is coming.
“‘Siku hiyo wajumbe watatoka kwangu kwa merikebu, ili kuwatia hofu Ethiopia, wakiwa katika hali yao ya kuridhika. Maumivu makali yatawapata siku ya maangamizi ya Misri, kwa kuwa hakika itakuja.
10 The Lord Yahweh says this: I will make an end of the multitudes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Nitakomesha makundi ya wajeuri ya Misri kwa mkono wa Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli.
11 He and his army with him, the terror of nations, will be brought to destroy the land; they will draw out their swords against Egypt and fill the land with those who have been killed.
Yeye na jeshi lake, taifa lililo katili kuliko mataifa yote, litaletwa ili kuangamiza nchi. Watafuta panga zao dhidi ya Misri na kuijaza nchi kwa waliouawa.
12 I will make the rivers into dry ground, and I will sell the land into the hand of wicked men. I will make the land and its fullness desolate by the hand of strangers—I, Yahweh, have spoken.
Nitakausha vijito vya Naili na nitaiuza nchi kwa watu waovu, kwa mkono wa wageni, nitaifanya nchi ukiwa na kila kitu kilichomo ndani yake. Mimi Bwana nimenena haya.
13 The Lord Yahweh says this: I will destroy idols, and I will bring an end to the worthless idols of Memphis. There will no longer be a prince in the land of Egypt, and I will put terror on the land of Egypt.
“‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: “‘Nitaangamiza sanamu na kukomesha vinyago katika Memfisi Hapatakuwepo tena na mkuu katika nchi ya Misri, nami nitaeneza hofu katika nchi nzima.
14 Then I will make Pathros desolate and set fire in Zoan, and I will execute acts of judgment on Thebes.
Nitaifanya Pathrosi kuwa ukiwa na kuitia moto Soani, nami nitaipiga kwa adhabu Thebesi
15 For I will pour out my fury on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and cut off the multitude of Thebes.
Nitaimwaga ghadhabu yangu juu ya Pelusiumu, ngome ya Misri, nami nitakatilia mbali makundi ya wajeuri wa Thebesi.
16 Then I will set fire in Egypt; Pelusium will be in great agony, Thebes will be broken up, and Memphis will face enemies every day.
Nitaitia moto nchi ya Misri; Pelusiumu itagaagaa kwa maumivu makuu. Thebesi itachukuliwa na tufani, Memfisi itakuwa katika taabu daima.
17 The young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and their cities will go into captivity.
Wanaume vijana wa Oni na wa Pi-Besethi wataanguka kwa upanga nayo hiyo miji itatekwa.
18 In Tahpanhes, the day will hold back its light when I break the yoke of Egypt there, and the pride of her strength will be finished. There will be a cloud covering her, and her daughters will walk into captivity.
Huko Tahpanhesi mchana utatiwa giza nitakapovunja kongwa la Misri; hapo kiburi cha nguvu zake kitakoma. Atafunikwa na mawingu na vijiji vyake vitatekwa.
19 I will execute acts of judgment in Egypt, so they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
Kwa hiyo nitaipiga Misri kwa adhabu, nao watajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
20 Then it came about in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Katika mwaka wa kumi na moja, mwezi wa kwanza, siku ya saba, neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Behold! It has not been bound up, or set to heal with a bandage, so that it will become strong enough to grasp a sword.
“Mwanadamu, nimevunja mkono wa Farao mfalme wa Misri. Haukufungwa ili upone au kuwekewa kipande cha ubao ili upate nguvu za kuweza kuchukua upanga.
22 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. For I will break his arm, both the strong one and the broken one, and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Mimi ni kinyume na Farao mfalme wa Misri. Nitavunja mikono yake yote miwili, ule mkono ulio mzima pia na ule uliovunjika na kuufanya upanga uanguke toka mkononi mwake.
23 Then I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
Nitawatawanya Wamisri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwafukuza huku na huko katika nchi zote.
24 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and place my sword in his hand so that I might destroy Pharaoh's arms. He will groan before the king of Babylon with the groans of a dying man.
Nitaitia nguvu mikono ya mfalme wa Babeli na kuutia upanga wangu mkononi mwake, lakini nitavunja mikono ya Farao, naye atalia kwa huzuni mbele yake kama mtu aliyetiwa jeraha la kumfisha.
25 For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, while Pharaoh's arms will fall. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon; for he will attack the land of Egypt with it.
Nitaitia nguvu mikono ya mfalme wa Babeli, lakini mikono ya Farao italegea. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana, nitakapoutia upanga wangu mkononi mwa mfalme wa Babeli, naye ataunyoosha dhidi ya Misri.
26 So I will scatter Egypt among the nations and disperse them through the lands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
Nitawatawanya Wamisri miongoni mwa mataifa na kuwafukuza huku na huko katika nchi mbalimbali. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
