Ezekiel 13
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Tena, neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 and he seide, Sone of man, profesie thou to the profetis of Israel that profesien; and thou schalt seie to hem that profesien of her herte,
“Mwanadamu, tabiri dhidi ya manabii wanaotabiri katika Israeli, na uwaambie wale wanotabiri nje ya fikra zao wenyewe, 'Lisikilizeni neno la Yahwe.
3 Here ye the word of the Lord. The Lord God seith these thingis, Wo to the vnwise profetis, that suen her spirit, and seen no thing;
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Ole wao manbii wajinga ambao wafwatao roho zao wenyewe, lakini wale wasioona kitu!
4 Israel, thi profetis weren as foxis in desert.
Israeli, manabii zako wamekuwa kama mbeha kwenye aridhi iliyoharibiwa na vita.
5 Ye stieden not euene ayens, nether ayensettiden a wal for the hous of Israel, that ye shulden stonde in batel in the dai of the Lord.
Hamkwenda kwenye nyufa katika ukuta uliozunguka nyumba ya Israeli kwa ajili ya kuukarabati, ili kupigana katika vita katika siku ya Yahwe.
6 Thei seen veyn thingis, and deuynen a leesyng, and seien, The Lord seith, whanne the Lord sente not hem; and thei contynueden to conferme the word.
Watu wameona uongo na kufanya utabiri wa uongo, wale wasemao, “Hivi na hivi ndvyo Yahwe asemavyo.” Yahwe hajawatuma, lakini hata hivyo wamewafanya watu kutumaini kwamba ujumbe wao utakuwa kweli.
7 Whether ye seen not a veyn visioun, and spaken fals diuynyng, and seiden, The Lord seith, whanne Y spak not?
Je hamkusikia maono ya uongo na kufanya utabiri wa uongo, ninyi msemao, “Hivi na hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo” Wakati mimi mwenyewe sikuongea?'
8 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, For ye spaken veyn thingis, and sien a leesyng, therfor lo! Y to you, seith the Lord God.
Kwa hiyo Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, 'Kwa sababu mmesikia maono ya uongo na kuwaambia uongo-kwa hiyo hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo dhidi yenu:
9 And myn hond schal be on the profetis that seen veyn thingis, and dyuynen a leesyng; thei schulen not be in the councel of my puple, and thei schulen not be writun in the scripture of the hous of Israel, nether thei schulen entre in to the lond of Israel; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord God.
Mkono wangu utakuwa juu yenu ninyi manabii mliodanganya maono na wale waliofanya unabii wa uongo. Hawatakuwepo kwenye kusanyiko la watu wangu, au kuandikishwa katika kumbukumbu ya nyumba ya Israeli; hawataenda kwenye nchi ya Israeli. Kwa kuwa mtajua yakwamba mimi ni Bwana Yahwe!
10 For thei disseyueden my puple, and seiden, Pees, pees, and no pees is; and it bildide a wal, but thei pargitiden it with fen with out chaffis.
Kwa sababu hiyo, na kwa sababu wamewaongoza watu wangu kuwapotosha na kusema, “Amani!” wakati hakuna amani, wanajenga ukuta ambao wataupaka rangi ya chokaa.'
11 Seie thou to hem that pargiten with out temperure, that it schal falle doun; for a strong reyn schal be flowynge, and I shal yyue ful grete stoones fallinge fro aboue, and Y schal yyue a wynd of tempest that distrieth.
Waambie wale wanaopaka chokaa ukuta, 'Utaanguka chini; kutakuwa na mvua ya kufurika, na nitaleta mvua ya mawe kuufanya uanguke chini, na upepo wa dhoruba kupuliza hata kuuvunja chini.
12 For lo! the wal felle doun. Whether it schal not be seid to you, Where is the pargetyng, which ye pargetiden?
Tazama, ukuta utaanguka chini. Je wengine hawakuwaambia, “Iko wapi chokaa mliyoipaka juu yake?”
13 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, And Y schal make the spirit of tempestis to breke out in myn indignacioun, and strong reyn flowynge in my strong veniaunce schal be, and greet stoonys in wraththe in to wastyng.
Kwa hiyo Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitaleta upepo wa dhoruba katika ghadhabu yangu, na kutakuwa na mafuriko ya mvua kwenye ghadhabu yangu! Mvua ya mawe katika ghadhabu yangu itauharibu kabisa.
14 And Y schal distrie the wal, which ye pargetiden with out temperure, and Y schal make it euene with the erthe; and the foundement therof schal be schewid, and it schal falle doun, and it schal be wastid in the myddis therof; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
Kwa kuwa nitaurarua chini ukuta ambao mlioufunika kwa chokaa, na nitaubomoa hata kwenye nchi na kuifunua misingi yake. Hivyo utaanguka, nanyi nyote mtaangamizwa katikati ya huo.
15 And Y schal fille myn indignacioun in the wal, and in hem that pargeten it with out temperure; and Y schal seie to you, The wal is not, and thei ben not,
Ndivyo nitakavouangamiza kwa ghadhabu yangu ukuta na wale walioupaka chokaa. Nitawaambia, “Ukuta hautaonekana tena, wala watu wanaoupaka chokaa-
16 that pargeten it, the profetis of Israel, that profesien to Jerusalem, and seen to it the visioun of pees, and pees is not, seith the Lord God.
manabii wa Israeli wale waliotabiri kuhusu Yerusalemu na wale waliokuwa wameona amani kwa ajili yake. Lakini hakuna amani! -hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”
17 And thou, sone of man, sette thi face ayens the douytris of thi puple, that profesien of her herte; and profesie thou on hem,
Hivyo wewe, mwanadamu, weka uso wako dhidi ya binti za watu wako wale wanaotabiri kwa akili zao wenyewe, na kutabiri dhidi yao.
18 and seie thou, The Lord God seith these thingis, Wo to hem that sowen togidere cuschens vndur ech cubit of hond, and maken pilewis vndur the heed of ech age, to take soulis; and whanne thei disseyueden the soulis of my puple, thei quykenyden the soulis of hem.
Sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Ole kwa wanawake washonao hiziri kwenye kila sehemu ya mkono wao na kutengeza vitambaa vya shela kwa ajili ya vichwa vyao kwa kila kipimo, ili kuwinda watu. Je mtawawinda watu wangu ila kuokoa maisha yenu wenyewe?
19 And thei defouliden me to my puple, for an handful of barli, and for a gobet of breed, that thei schulden sle soulis that dien not, and quykene soulis that lyuen not; and thei lieden to my puple, bileuynge to leesyngis.
Ninyi mmenikufuru mbele ya watu wangu kwa ajili ya makonzi ya shayiri na vipande vya mkate, kuwaua watu ambao hawakutakiwa kufa, na kuyalinda maisha ya wale ambao hawatakiwi kuendelea kuishi, kwa sababu ya uongo wenu kwa watu wangu walio wasikiliza.
20 For this thing the Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y to youre cuschens, bi whiche ye disseyuen soulis fliynge; and Y schal al to-breke tho fro youre armes, and Y schal delyuere soulis which ye disseyuen, soulis to fle.
Kwa hiyo Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Niko kinyume dhidi ya hirizi ambazo mlizozitumia kuyakamata kwa hila maisha ya watu kana kwamba wamekuwa ndege. Naam, nitazichana kutoka kwenye mikono yenu; na wale watu mlio watega kama ndege-nitawaacha waende huru.
21 And Y schal al to-breke youre pilewis, and Y schal delyuere my puple fro youre hond; and thei schulen no more be in youre hondis, to be robbid; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
Nitavichana mbali vitambaa vya shela na kuwaokoa watu wangu kutoka kwenye mikono yangu, kwa hiyo hawatategwa tena kwenye mikono yenu. Mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
22 For that that ye maden falsli the herte of a iust man to morene, whom Y made not sori; and ye coumfortiden the hondis of a wickid man, that he schulde not turne ayen fro his yuel weie, and lyue.
Kwa sababu mmeuvunja moyo wa mtu mwenye haki kwa uongo, ingawa hata mimi sikutamani kuvunjwa kwake moyo, na kwa sababu mmemtia moyo badala yake matendo ya mtu mwovu ili kwamba asitaweze kurudi kutoka kwenye njia yake kuokoa maisha yake-
23 Therfor ye schulen not se veyn thingis, and ye schulen no more dyuyne false dyuynyngis; and Y schal delyuere my puple fro youre hond, and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
kwa hiyo hamtayaona tena maono ya uongo au kuendelea kufanya utabiri, kwa kuwa nitawaokoa watu wangu kutoka kwenye mkono wako. Nanyi mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.'”
