Ezekieli 36
1 “Mwanadamu, itabirie milima ya Israeli na useme, ‘Ee milima ya Israeli, sikieni neno la Bwana.
And you O son of humankind prophesy to [the] mountains of Israel and you will say O mountains of Israel hear [the] word of Yahweh.
2 Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Kwa sababu adui wanasema juu yako, “Aha! Mahali palipoinuka pa zamani pamekuwa milki yetu.”’
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because he has said the enemy on you aha! and [the] high places of antiquity a possession it has become of us.
3 Kwa hiyo tabiri na useme, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Kwa sababu wamewafanya ukiwa na kuwagandamiza kila upande ili mpate kuwa milki ya mataifa mengine na kuwa kitu cha kusimangwa na kudhihakiwa miongoni mwa watu,
Therefore prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because by cause to desolate and to crush you from round about to be you a possession of [the] rest of the nations and you have been taken up on a lip of a tongue and [the] whispering of [the] people.
4 kwa hiyo, ee milima ya Israeli, sikieni neno la Bwana Mwenyezi: Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo kwa milima na vilima, kwa makorongo na mabonde, kwa mahame yaliyo ukiwa, miji iliyoachwa ambayo imetekwa nyara na kudharauliwa na mataifa mengine yanayowazunguka,
Therefore O mountains of Israel hear [the] word of [the] Lord Yahweh thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills to the ravines and to the valleys and to the waste places desolate and to the cities forsaken which they have become spoil and mockery to [the] rest of the nations which [are] from round about.
5 hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Katika wivu wangu uwakao nimenena dhidi ya mataifa mengine na dhidi ya Edomu yote, kwa maana kwa furaha na hila katika mioyo yao waliifanya nchi yangu kuwa milki yao ili wapate kuteka nyara sehemu yake ya malisho.’
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh if not in [the] fire of jealousy my I have spoken on [the] rest of the nations and on Edom all of it which they made land my - for themselves into a possession with joy of every heart with scorn of self so that pastureland its [becomes] spoil.
6 Kwa hiyo tabiri kuhusu nchi ya Israeli na uiambie milima na vilima, makorongo na vijito na mabonde: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Ninanena katika wivu wa ghadhabu yangu kwa sababu mmedharauliwa na mataifa.
Therefore prophesy on [the] land of Israel and you will say to the mountains and to the hills to the ravines and to the valleys thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I in jealousy my and in rage my I have spoken because [the] insult[s] of nations you have borne.
7 Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Ninaapa kwa mkono wangu ulioinuliwa kwamba mataifa wanaowazunguka nao pia watadharauliwa.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh I I lift up hand my if not the nations which to you [are] from round about they insult[s] their they will bear.
8 “‘Lakini ninyi, ee milima ya Israeli, mtatoa matawi na matunda kwa ajili ya watu wangu Israeli, kwa sababu hivi karibuni watakuja nyumbani.
And you O mountains of Israel branch[es] your you will extend and fruit your you will bear for people my Israel for they have brought near to come.
9 Mimi ninawajibika nanyi na nitawaangalia kwa upendeleo, mtalimwa na kupandwa mbegu,
For here I [am] with you and I will turn to you and you will be tilled and you will be sown.
10 nami nitaizidisha idadi ya watu kwenu, naam, nyumba yote ya Israeli. Miji itakaliwa na watu na magofu yatajengwa upya.
And I will multiply on you human[s] all [the] house of Israel all of it and they will be inhabited the cities and the waste places they will be rebuilt.
11 Nitaongeza idadi ya watu na wanyama juu yenu, nao watazaana sana na kuwa wengi mno. Nitawakalisha watu ndani yenu kama ilivyokuwa wakati uliopita, nami nitawafanya mfanikiwe kuliko hapo kwanza. Ndipo mtakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And I will multiply on you human[s] and animal[s] and they will increase and they will be fruitful and I will cause to dwell you like former state your and I will do good more than beginnings your and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
12 Nitawafanya watu, watu wangu Israeli, kutembea juu yenu. Watawamiliki ninyi, nanyi mtakuwa urithi wao, kamwe hamtawaondolea tena watoto wao.
And I will cause to walk on you human[s] people my Israel and they will dispossess you and you will become of them an inheritance and not you will repeat again to bereave them.
13 “‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Kwa sababu watu wanakuambia, “Unawala watu na kuliondolea taifa lako watoto wake,”
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because [people are] saying to you [are] devouring human[s] (you *Q(K)*) and bereaving (nations your *Q(K)*) you have been.
14 kwa hiyo hutakula tena watu wala kulifanya tena taifa lako lisiwe na watoto, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
Therefore human[s] not you will devour again (and nations your *Q(K)*) not (you will bereave *Q(K)*) again [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
15 Sitakufanya tena usikie dhihaka za mataifa, wala kudharauliwa na kabila za watu, wala kulifanya taifa lako lianguke, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.’”
And not I will make heard to you again [the] insult[s] of the nations and [the] reproach of peoples not you will bear again (and nations your *Q(K)*) not you will cause to stumble again [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
16 Neno la Bwana likanijia tena, kusema:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
17 “Mwanadamu, nyumba ya Israeli walipokuwa wakiishi katika nchi yao wenyewe, waliinajisi kwa mwenendo wao na matendo yao. Mwenendo wao mbele zangu ulikuwa kama mwanamke aliye katika hedhi.
O son of humankind [the] house of Israel [were] dwelling on own land their and they made unclean it by conduct their and by practices their like [the] uncleanness of menstruation it was conduct their before me.
18 Hivyo nilimwaga ghadhabu yangu juu yao kwa sababu walikuwa wamemwaga damu katika nchi na kwa sababu walikuwa wameitia nchi unajisi kwa sanamu zao.
And I poured out rage my on them on the blood which they had poured out on the land and by idols their they made unclean it.
19 Nikawatawanya miongoni mwa mataifa, nao wakaenda huku na huko katika nchi mbalimbali, nikawahukumu sawasawa na mwenendo wao na matendo yao.
And I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed among the lands according to conduct their and according to practices their I judged them.
20 Tena popote walipokwenda miongoni mwa mataifa walilitia unajisi Jina langu takatifu, kwa kuwa watu walisema kuwahusu, ‘Hawa ndio watu wa Bwana, lakini imewapasa kuondoka katika nchi yake.’
And it came to the nations where they went there and they profaned [the] name of holiness my when said of them [are] [the] people of Yahweh these and from land his they have come out.
21 Lakini niliwahurumia kwa ajili ya Jina langu takatifu, ambalo nyumba ya Israeli imelitia unajisi miongoni mwa mataifa huko walikokwenda.
And I showed pity on [the] name of holiness my which they had profaned it [the] house of Israel among the nations where they had gone there towards.
22 “Kwa hiyo iambie nyumba ya Israeli, ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Si kwa ajili yako, ee nyumba ya Israeli, kwamba ninafanya mambo haya, bali ni kwa ajili ya Jina langu takatifu, ambalo mmelitia unajisi miongoni mwa mataifa mliyoyaendea.
Therefore say to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh not for sake your I [am] about to act O house of Israel that except for [the] name of holiness my which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone there.
23 Nitauonyesha utakatifu wa Jina langu kuu, ambalo limetiwa unajisi miongoni mwa mataifa, jina ambalo limetiwa unajisi miongoni mwao. Ndipo mataifa watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana, asema Bwana Mwenyezi, nitakapojionyesha mwenyewe kuwa mtakatifu kwa kuwapitia ninyi mbele ya macho yao.
And I will show holy name my great that has been] profaned among the nations which you have profaned in midst of them and they will know the nations that I [am] Yahweh [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh when I show holy myself by you to eyes their.
24 “‘Kwa kuwa nitawaondoa ninyi toka mataifa, nitawakusanya kutoka nchi zote na kuwarudisha kwenye nchi yenu wenyewe.
And I will take you from the nations and I will gather you from all the lands and I will bring you into own land your.
25 Nitawanyunyizia maji safi, nanyi mtakuwa safi, nitawatakasa kutoka uchafu wenu wote na kutoka sanamu zenu zote.
And I will sprinkle on you water pure and you will be pure from all uncleanness your and from all idols your I will purify you.
26 Nitawapa moyo mpya na kuweka roho mpya ndani yenu, nitaondoa ndani yenu moyo wenu wa jiwe na kuwapa moyo wa nyama.
And I will give to you a heart new and a spirit new I will put in inner being your and I will remove [the] heart of stone from flesh your and I will give to you a heart of flesh.
27 Nami nitaweka Roho yangu ndani yenu na kuwafanya ninyi mfuate amri zangu na kuwafanya kuwa waangalifu kuzishika sheria zangu.
And spirit my I will put in inner being your and I will bring about this: in statutes my you will walk and judgments my you will keep and you will do [them].
28 Mtaishi katika nchi niliyowapa baba zenu, ninyi mtakuwa watu wangu nami nitakuwa Mungu wenu.
And you will dwell in the land which I gave to ancestors your and you will become for me a people and I I will become for you God.
29 Nitawaokoa ninyi kutoka unajisi wenu wote. Nitaiita nafaka na kuiongeza iwe nyingi sana nami sitaleta njaa juu yenu.
And I will save you from all uncleanness your and I will summon the grain and I will increase it and not I will give to you famine.
30 Nitaongeza matunda ya miti na mazao ya mashamba, ili kwamba msipate tena aibu miongoni mwa mataifa kwa ajili ya njaa.
And I will increase [the] fruit of the tree and [the] produce of the field so that that not you may receive again [the] reproach of famine among the nations.
31 Ndipo mtakapozikumbuka njia zenu za uovu na matendo yenu maovu, nanyi mtajichukia wenyewe kwa ajili ya dhambi zote na matendo yenu ya kuchukiza.
And you will remember ways your evil and deeds your which not [were] good and you will loathe faces your on iniquities your and on abominations your.
32 Ninataka ninyi mjue kwamba sifanyi hili kwa ajili yenu, asema Bwana Mwenyezi. Oneni aibu na mkatahayari kwa ajili ya mwenendo wenu, ee nyumba ya Israeli!
Not for sake your I [am] about to act [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh let it be known to you be ashamed and be humiliated from ways your O house of Israel.
33 “‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Siku ile nitakapowasafisha kutoka dhambi zenu zote, nitarudisha watu waishi katika miji yenu na magofu yatajengwa upya.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day cleanse I you from all iniquities your and I will cause to be inhabited the cities and they will be rebuilt the waste places.
34 Nchi iliyokuwa ukiwa italimwa badala ya kukaa ukiwa machoni mwa wale wote wanaopita ndani yake.
And the land desolated it will be tilled in place of that it was a desolation to [the] eyes of every [one who] passes by.
35 Watasema, “Hii nchi iliyokuwa imeachwa ukiwa sasa imekuwa kama bustani ya Edeni, miji ile iliyokuwa magofu, ukiwa na kuangamizwa, sasa imejengewa ngome na kukaliwa na watu.”
And people will say the land this desolated it has become like [the] garden of Eden and the cities wasted and desolated and broken down [are] fortified they have remained.
36 Ndipo mataifa yanayowazunguka yaliyobakia watakapojua kuwa Mimi Bwana nimejenga tena kile kilichoharibiwa na nimepanda tena kile kilichokuwa ukiwa. Mimi Bwana nimenena, nami nitalifanya.’
And they will know the nations which they will be left around you that - I Yahweh I have rebuilt the broken down [cities] I have planted the desolated [places] I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act.
37 “Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Mara nyingine tena nitasikia maombi ya nyumba ya Israeli na kuwatendea jambo hili: Nitawafanya watu wake kuwa wengi kama kondoo,
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh again this I will let myself be sought by [the] house of Israel to act for them I will increase them like flock human[s].
38 kuwa wengi kama kundi la kondoo kwa ajili ya dhabihu huko Yerusalemu wakati wa sikukuu zao za wakati ulioamriwa. Hivyo ndivyo miji iliyokuwa magofu itajazwa na makundi ya watu. Ndipo watakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
Like sheep of holiness like [the] sheep of Jerusalem at appointed times its so they will be the cities wasted full of flock[s] of human[s] and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
