Ezekieli 35
1 Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 “Mwanadamu, elekeza uso wako juu ya mlima Seiri, utabiri dhidi yake
“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 na useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Mimi ni kinyume nawe, ee mlima Seiri, nami nitanyoosha mkono wangu dhidi yako na kukufanya ukiwa na usiyekaliwa na watu wala kulimika.
and you have said to it, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against you, And made you a desolation and an astonishment.
4 Nitaifanya miji yako kuwa magofu nawe utakuwa ukiwa. Ndipo utakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
I make your cities a ruin, and you are a desolation, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
5 “‘Kwa sababu ulificha moyoni uadui wa siku nyingi nawe ukawatoa Waisraeli wauawe kwa upanga wakati wa maafa yao, wakati adhabu yake ilipofikia kilele chake,
Because of your having continuous enmity, And you saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end:
6 kwa hiyo hakika kama niishivyo, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, nitakutia katika umwagaji damu nao utakufuatia. Kwa kuwa hakuchukia kumwaga damu, kumwaga damu kutakufuatia.
Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Surely I appoint you for blood, And blood pursues you, If you have not hated blood, Blood also pursues you.
7 Nitaufanya Mlima Seiri ukiwa na usiokaliwa na watu wala kulimika na kuukatilia mbali na wote wanaokuja na wanaokwenda.
And I have given Mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning,
8 Nitaijaza milima yenu kwa watu wake waliouawa, wale waliouawa kwa upanga wataanguka juu ya vilima vyako na katika mabonde yako na katika makorongo yako yote.
And filled his mountains with his wounded, Your hills, and your valleys, and all your streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them.
9 Nitakufanya ukiwa milele, watu hawataishi katika miji yako. Ndipo utakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
I make you continuous desolations, And your cities do not return, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
10 “‘Kwa sababu umesema, “Mataifa haya mawili na nchi hizi zitakuwa zetu nasi tutazimiliki,” ingawa hata mimi Bwana nilikuwa huko,
Because of your saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And YHWH has been there;
11 kwa hiyo hakika kama niishivyo, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, nitakutenda kwa kadiri ya hasira na wivu uliouonyesha katika chuki yako juu yao nami nitafanya nijulikane miongoni mwao wakati nitakapokuhukumu.
Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, And I have done according to your anger, And according to your envy, With which you have worked, Because of your hatred against them, And I have been known among them when I judge you.
12 Ndipo utakapojua kuwa Mimi Bwana nimesikia mambo yote ya dharau uliyosema dhidi ya milima ya Israeli. Ulisema, “Wamefanyika ukiwa na kutiwa mikononi mwetu tuwararue.”
And you have known that I [am] YHWH, I have heard all your despisings that you have spoken Against mountains of Israel, saying, A desolation—they were given to us for food.
13 Ulijigamba dhidi yangu na kusema maneno dhidi yangu bila kujizuia, nami nikayasikia.
And you magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made your words abundant against Me; I have heard.
14 Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Wakati dunia yote inashangilia nitakufanya ukiwa.
Thus said Lord YHWH: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, I make a desolation of you.
15 Kwa sababu ulishangilia wakati urithi wa nyumba ya Israeli ulipofanyika ukiwa, hivyo ndivyo nitakavyokutendea. Utakuwa ukiwa, ee mlima Seiri, wewe na Edomu yote. Kisha ndipo watajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
According to your joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, So I do to you—you are a desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom—all of it, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
