Ezekiel 17
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
2 and he seide, Sone of man, sette forth a derk speche, and telle thou a parable to the hous of Israel;
“Mwanadamu, tega kitendawili na sema fumbo kwa nyumba ya Israeli.
3 and thou schalt seie, The Lord God seith these thingis. A greet egle of grete wyngis, with long stretchyng out of membris, ful of fetheris and of dyuersite, cam to the Liban, and took awei the merowe of the cedre.
Sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Tai mkubwa pamoja na mabawa makubwa na vipapatio virefu, mwenye kujaa manyoya, na aliyekuwa na rangi nyingi alienda Lebanoni na kuchukua kilele cha mti wa mkangazi.
4 He pullide awei the hiynesse of boowis therof, and bar it ouer in to the lond of Chanaan, and settide it in the citee of marchauntis.
Akakata ncha za matawi na kuzichukua hata nchi ya Kanaani; akaipanda katika mji wa manahodha.
5 And he took of the seed of the lond, and settide it in the lond for seed, that it schulde make stidfast roote on many watris; he settide it in the hiyere part.
Pia akachukua mbegu ya nchi na kuipanda katika udongo wenye rutuba. Akaiweka kando ya maji mengi kama mti umeao karibu na maji.
6 And whanne it hadde growe, it encreesside in to a largere vyner, in lowe stature; for the boowis therof bihelden to that egle, and the rootis therof weren vndur that egle; therof it was maad a vyner, and it made fruyt in to siouns, and sente out boowis.
Kisha ukachipusha na mzabibu wenye kusambaa chini kwenye aridhi. Matawi yake yakamwelekea yeye, na mizizi yake ikakua chini yake. Hivyo ukawa mzabibu na kuzaa matawi na kutoa matawi.
7 And another greet egle was maad, with grete wyngis, and many fetheris; and lo! this vyner as sendynge hise rootis to that egle, stretchide forth his siouns to that egle, that he schulde moiste it of the cornfloris of his seed.
Lakini kulikuwa na tai mwingine mkubwa wenye mabawa makubwa na manyoya mengi. Tazama! Huu mzabibu ukabadilisha mizizi yake kumwelekea tai, na ukasamabaza matawi yake kumwelekea tai kutoka mahali ulipokuwa umepandwa basi upate kumwagiliwa.
8 Which is plauntid in a good lond on many watris, that it make boowis, and bere fruyt, that it be in to a greet vyner.
Ulikuwa umepandwa kwenye udongo mzuri kando ya maji mengi hivyo ungezaa matawi na kuanza kutoa matunda, ili kuwa mzabibu mzuri kabisa.'
9 Seie thou, Ezechiel, The Lord God seith these thingis, Therfor whether he schal haue prosperite? Whether Nabugodonosor schal not pulle awei the rootis of hym, and schal streyne the fruytis of hym? And he schal make drie alle the siouns of buriowning therof, and it schal be drie; and not in greet arm, nether in myche puple, that he schulde drawe it out bi the rootis.
Waambie watu, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Je! huo utafanikiwa? Je! Haitaing'oa mizizi yake na kuyakata matunda yake ili kwamba unyauke, na majani yake yote mabichi yanyauke? Hakuna jeshi imara au watu wengi watahitajika kuivuta kwa mizizi yake.
10 Lo! it is plauntid, therfor whether it schal haue prosperite? Whether not whanne brennynge wynd schal touche it, it schal be maad drye, and schal wexe drie in the cornfloris of his seed?
Basi tazama! Baada ya kuwa umepandwa, je utakuwa? Je hautanyauka wakati upepo wa mashariki utakapoupiga? Utanyauka kabisa katika kiwanja chake.”'
11 And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide, Seie thou to the hous terrynge to wraththe,
Kisha neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
12 Witen ye not what these thingis signefien? Seie thou, Lo! the king of Babiloyne cometh in to Jerusalem; and he schal take the kyng and the princis therof, and he schal leede hem to hym silf in to Babiloyne.
“Waambie nyumba ya uasi, 'Je! hamjui haya mambo yana gana gani? Tazama! Mfalme wa Babeli amekuja Yerusalemu na kumchukua mfalme wake na wakuu wake na kuwaleta kwake mpaka Babebli.
13 And he schal take of the seed of the rewme, and schal smyte with it a boond of pees, and he schal take of it an ooth; but also he schal take awei the stronge men of the lond,
Kisha akauchukua ukoo wa kifalme, akafanya agano pamoja naye, na kumleta chini ya kiapo. Akawachukua watu wa nchi wenye nguvu,
14 that it be a meke rewme, and be not reisid, but that it kepe the couenaunt of hym, and holde it.
basi ufalme uwe duni na usijiinue wenyewe. Kwa kulitunza agano lake nchi itaokoka.
15 Which yede awei fro hym, and sente messangeris in to Egipt, that it schulde yyue to hym horsis and miche puple. Whether he that dide these thingis, schal haue prosperite, ether schal gete helthe? and whether he that brekith couenaunt, schal ascape?
Lakini mfalme wa Yerusalemu ameasi juu yake kwa kupeleka mabalozi kwenda Misri ili kujipatia farasi na jeshi. Je! Atafanikiwa? Je! yeye anayeyafanya haya mambo ataokoka?
16 Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for in the place of the king that made hym kyng, whos ooth he made voide, and brak the couenaunt, which he hadde with hym, in the myddis of Babiloyne he schal die.
Kama niishivyo! -hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-atakufa hakika katika nchi ya mfalme aliyemfanya mfalme, yule mfalme ambaye aliyekidharau kiapo chake, na ambaye aliyevunja agano lake. atakufa kati ya Babeli.
17 And not in greet oost, nether in myche puple Farao schal make batel ayens hym, in the castyng of erthe, and in bildyng of palis, that he sle many persones.
Farao na jeshi lake lenye nguvu na kusanyiko la watu wengi kwa ajili ya vita hawatamlinda katika vita, wakati jeshi la Wababeli watakapojenga tuta la ngome na kuta za ngome ili kuyaharibu maisha ya wengi.
18 For he dispiside the ooth, that he schulde breke the boond of pees, and lo! he yaf his hond; and whanne he hath do alle these thingis, he schal not ascape.
Kwa kuwa mfalme amedharau kiapo chake kwa kulivunja agano. Tazama, ameunyoosha kwa mkono wake ili kufanya ahadi na bado ameyafanya haya mambo yote. Hataokoka.
19 Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, Y lyue, for Y schal sette on his heed the ooth which he dispiside, and the boond of pees which he brak.
Kwa hiyo Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Kama niishivyo, Je! hiki hakikuwa kiapo changu kwamba alidharau agano langu alilo livunja? Basi nitaleta nitamwadhibu juu ya kichwa chake!
20 And Y schal spredde abrood my net on hym, and he schal be takun in my net, and Y schal brynge hym in to Babiloyne; and there Y schal deme hym in the trespassyng, bi which he dispiside me.
Nitausambaza wavu wangu juu yake, na atanaswa katika wavu wangu wa kutegea. Kisha nitamleta hata Babeli na kuzitekeleza hukumu juu yake huko kwa ajili ya uhaini wake alioufanya amenisaliti!
21 And alle hise flieris a wei with al his cumpenye schulen falle doun bi swerd, forsothe the remenauntis schulen be schaterid in to ech wynd; and ye schulen wite, that Y the Lord spak.
Wakimbizi wake wote katika majeshi yake yataanguka kwa upanga, na wale watakaobakia watatawanyika kila mahali. Kisha utajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe; nimesema hili litatokea.”
22 The Lord God seith these thingis, And Y schal take of the merowe of an hiy cedre, and Y schal sette a tendir thing of the cop of hise braunchis; Y schal streyne, and Y schal plaunte on an hiy hil, and apperynge fer.
Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, 'Basi mimi mwenyewe nitaichukua sehemu ya juu ya mti wa mkangazi, na nitaupanda mbali na matawi yake laini. Nitaukata, na mimi mwenyewe nitaupanda juu ya mlima mrefu.
23 In the hiy hil of Israel Y schal plaunte it; and it schal breke out in to buriownyng, and it schal make fruyt, and it schal be in to a greet cedre, and alle briddis schulen dwelle vndur it; ech volatil schal make nest vndur the schadewe of hise boowis.
Nitaupanda juu ya milima ya Israeli hivyo utazaa matawi na kuzaa matunda, na utakuwa mkangazi wa fahari ili kwamba kila ndege arukaye ataishi chini ya huo. Watajenga viota chini ya kivuli cha matawi yake.
24 And alle trees of the cuntrei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord; Y made low the hiy tre, and Y enhaunside the low tre, and Y made drie the greene tree, and Y made the drie tree to brynge forth boowis; Y the Lord haue spoke, and Y haue do.
Kisha miti yote ya shambani itajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe. Nimeishusha miti mirefu na nimeiinua juu miti mifupi. Naunyausha mti mbichi na kuufanya mti mkavu kuchanua. Mimi Yahwe, nimesema hivyo hii itatokea; nami nimelifanya hili.'”
