Ezekieli 39
1 “Mwanadamu, tabiri dhidi ya Gogu useme: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Ee Gogu mimi ni kinyume nawe, mtawala mkuu wa Roshi, Mesheki na Tubali.
And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, Rhos prince of Mesoch and Thobel:
2 Nitakugeuza kuelekea ulikotoka na kukuburuta. Nitakuleta kutoka kaskazini ya mbali na kukupeleka wewe dhidi ya milima ya Israeli.
and I will assemble you, and guide you, and raise you up on the extremity of the north, and I will bring you up upon the mountains of Israel.
3 Kisha nitaupiga upinde wako kutoka mkono wako wa kushoto na kuifanya mishale ianguke kutoka mkono wako wa kuume.
And I will destroy the bow out of your left hand, and your arrows out of your right hand, and I will cast you down on the mountains of Israel;
4 Utaanguka kwenye milima ya Israeli, wewe pamoja na vikosi vyako vyote na yale mataifa yaliyo pamoja nawe. Nitakutoa uwe chakula cha ndege wa aina zote walao nyama na cha wanyama wa mwituni.
and you and all that belong to you shall fall, and the nations that are with you shall be given to multitudes of birds, [even] to every fowl, and I have given you to all the wild beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Utaanguka katika uwanja, kwa kuwa nimenena, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
You shall fall on the face of the field: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord.
6 Nitatuma moto juu ya Magogu na kwa wale wanaoishi kwa salama huko pwani, nao watajua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And I will send a fire upon Gog, and the islands shall be securely inhabited: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 “‘Nitalifanya Jina langu takatifu lijulikane miongoni mwa watu wangu Israeli. Sitaliacha tena Jina langu takatifu litiwe unajisi, nayo mataifa watajua kuwa Mimi Bwana ndimi Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli.
And my holy name shall be known in the midst of my people Israel; and my holy name shall no more be profaned: and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy [One] in Israel.
8 Hili jambo linakuja! Hakika litatokea, asema Bwana Mwenyezi. Hii ndiyo siku ile niliyosema habari zake.
Behold it is come, and you shall know that it shall be, says the Lord God; this is the day concerning which I have spoken.
9 “‘Ndipo wale wanaoishi katika miji ya Israeli watakapotoka na kutumia hizo silaha kuwashia moto na kuziteketeza, yaani, kigao na ngao, pinde na mishale, rungu za vita na mikuki. Kwa miaka saba watavitumia kama kuni.
And they that inhabit the cities of Israel shall come forth, and make a fire with the arms, the shields and the spears, and bows and arrows, and hand-staves, and lances, and they shall keep fire burning with them for seven years:
10 Hawatahitaji kukusanya kuni kutoka mashambani wala kukata kuni kutoka kwenye misitu, kwa sababu watatumia silaha kuwa kuni. Nao watawateka mateka wale waliowateka na kuchukua nyara mali za wale waliochukua mali zao nyara, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
and they shall not take any wood out of the field, neither shall they cut any out of the forests, but they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and spoil those that spoiled them, says the Lord.
11 “‘Siku ile nitampa Gogu mahali pa kuzikia katika Israeli, katika bonde la wale wasafirio upande wa mashariki kuelekea baharini. Jambo hili litazuia njia ya wasafiri kwa sababu Gogu na makundi yake yote ya wajeuri watazikwa huko. Kwa hiyo litaitwa Bonde la Hamon-Gogu.
And it shall come to pass [that] in that day I will give to Gog a place of renown, a tomb in Israel, the burial-place of them that approach the sea: and they shall build round about the outlet of the valley, and there they shall bury Gog and all his multitude: and [the place] shall then be called the burial-place of Gog.
12 “‘Kwa miezi saba nyumba ya Israeli itakuwa ikiwazika ili kuisafisha nchi.
And the house of Israel shall bury them, that the land may be cleansed in the space of seven months.
13 Watu wote wa nchi watawazika, nayo siku nitakayotukuzwa itakuwa siku ya kumbukumbu kwa ajili yao, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a [place] of renown in the day wherein it was glorified, says the Lord.
14 “‘Watu wataajiriwa mara kwa mara kuisafisha nchi. Baadhi yao watapita nchini kote na zaidi yao hao wengine, watawazika wale waliosalia juu ya uso wa nchi. Mwisho wa hiyo miezi saba wataanza upekuzi wao.
And they shall appoint men continually to go over the land, to bury them that have been left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it after the space of seven months, and they shall seek [them] out.
15 Wakati wanapopita nchini kote na mmoja wao akaona mfupa wa mwanadamu, ataweka alama kando yake mpaka wachimba kaburi wawe wameuzika katika Bonde la Hamon-Gogu.
And every one that goes through the land, and sees a man's bone, shall set up a mark by it, until the buriers shall have buried it in the valley, the burial place of Gog.
16 (Pia mji uitwao Hamona utakuwa humo.) Hivyo ndivyo watakavyoisafisha nchi.’
For the name of the city [shall be] Burial-place: so shall the land be cleansed.
17 “Mwanadamu, hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Ita kila aina ya ndege na wanyama wote wa mwituni, waambie: ‘Kusanyikeni mje pamoja kutoka pande zote kwa ajili ya dhabihu ninayowaandalia, dhabihu kuu katika milima ya Israeli. Huko mtakula nyama na kunywa damu.
And you, son of man, say, Thus says the Lord; Say to every winged bird, and to all the wild beasts of the field, Gather yourselves, and come; gather yourselves from all [places] round about to my sacrifice, which I have made for you, [even] a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Mtakula nyama za watu mashujaa na kunywa damu za wakuu wa dunia kana kwamba ni za kondoo dume na kondoo wake, mbuzi na mafahali, wote walionona kutoka Bashani.
You shall eat the flesh of mighty men, and you shall drink the blood of princes of the earth, rams, and calves and goats, and they are all fatted calves.
19 Katika dhabihu ninayoandaa kwa ajili yenu, mtakula mafuta mpaka mkinai na kunywa damu mpaka mlewe.
And you shall eat fat till you are full, and shall drink wine till you are drunken, of my sacrifice which I have prepared for you.
20 Kwenye meza yangu watajishibisha kwa farasi na wapanda farasi, watu mashujaa na askari wa kila aina,’ asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
And you shall be filled at my table, [eating] horse, and rider, and mighty man, and every warrior, says the Lord.
21 “Nitauonyesha utukufu wangu miongoni mwa mataifa, nayo mataifa yote wataiona adhabu nitakayotoa na mkono wangu nitakaouweka juu yao.
And I will set my glory among you, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have wrought, and my hand which I have brought upon them.
22 Kuanzia siku ile na kuendelea nyumba ya Israeli itajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wao.
And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from this day and onwards.
23 Na mataifa watajua kuwa nyumba ya Israeli walikwenda utumwani kwa ajili ya dhambi yao, kwa sababu hawakuwa waaminifu kwangu. Hivyo niliwaficha uso wangu na kuwatia mikononi mwa adui zao, nao wote wakaanguka kwa upanga.
And all the nations shall know that the house of Israel were led captive because of their sins, because they rebelled against me, and I turned away my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.
24 Niliwatendea sawasawa na uchafu wao na makosa yao, nami nikawaficha uso wangu.
According to their uncleannesses and according to their transgressions did I deal with them, and I turned away my face from them.
25 “Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Sasa nitamrudisha Yakobo kutoka utumwani, nami nitawahurumia watu wote wa Israeli, nami nitakuwa na wivu kwa ajili ya Jina langu takatifu.
Therefore thus says the Lord God, Now will I turn back captivity in Jacob, and will have mercy on the house of Israel, and will be jealous for the sake of my holy name.
26 Wataisahau aibu yao na jinsi walivyoonyesha kutokuwa waaminifu kwangu mimi wakati waliishi salama katika nchi yao, bila kuwa na mtu yeyote wa kuwatia hofu.
And they shall bear their reproach, and the iniquity which they committed when they lived upon their land in peace. Yet there shall be none to terrify [them]
27 Nitakapokuwa nimewarudisha kutoka mataifa na kuwakusanya kutoka nchi za adui zao, mimi nitajionyesha kuwa mtakatifu kwa kupitia kwao machoni mwa mataifa mengi.
when I have brought them back from the nations, and gathered them out of the countries of the nations: and I will be sanctified among them in the presence of the nations.
28 Ndipo watakapojua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wao, ingawa niliwapeleka uhamishoni miongoni mwa mataifa, nitawakusanya tena katika nchi yao wenyewe, bila kumwacha yeyote nyuma.
And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, when I have been manifested to them among the nations.
29 Sitawaficha tena uso wangu, kwa maana nitamimina Roho wangu juu ya nyumba ya Israeli, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.”
And I will no more turn away my face from them, because I have poured out my wrath upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God.
