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.
“You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.
2 Nitakugeuza kuelekea ulikotoka na kukuburuta. Nitakuleta kutoka kaskazini ya mbali na kukupeleka wewe dhidi ya milima ya Israeli.
I will turn you around, will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you onto the mountains of Israel.
3 Kisha nitaupiga upinde wako kutoka mkono wako wa kushoto na kuifanya mishale ianguke kutoka mkono wako wa kuume.
I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.
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.
You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the animals of the field to be devoured.
5 Utaanguka katika uwanja, kwa kuwa nimenena, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
You will fall on the open field, for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.
6 Nitatuma moto juu ya Magogu na kwa wale wanaoishi kwa salama huko pwani, nao watajua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.
“I will send a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then they will 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.
“‘“I will make my holy name known among my people Israel. I won’t allow my holy name to be profaned any more. Then the nations will 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 comes, and it will be done,” says the Lord GOD. “This is the day about 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.
“‘“Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and will make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs and the spears, and they will make fires 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.
so that they will take no wood out of the field, and not cut down any out of the forests; for they will make fires with the weapons. They will plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them,” says the Lord GOD.
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.
“‘“It will happen in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it will stop those who pass through. They will bury Gog and all his multitude there, and they will call it ‘The valley of Hamon Gog’.
12 “‘Kwa miezi saba nyumba ya Israeli itakuwa ikiwazika ili kuisafisha nchi.
“‘“The house of Israel will be burying them for seven months, that they may cleanse the land.
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 will bury them; and they will become famous in the day that I will be glorified,” says the Lord GOD.
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.
“‘“They will set apart men of continual employment who will pass through the land. Those who pass through will go with those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it. After the end of seven months they will search.
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.
Those who search through the land will pass through; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, then he will set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.
16 (Pia mji uitwao Hamona utakuwa humo.) Hivyo ndivyo watakavyoisafisha nchi.’
Hamonah will also be the name of a city. Thus they will cleanse the land.”’
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.
“You, son of man, the Lord GOD says: ‘Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, “Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat meat 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 the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 Katika dhabihu ninayoandaa kwa ajili yenu, mtakula mafuta mpaka mkinai na kunywa damu mpaka mlewe.
You shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Kwenye meza yangu watajishibisha kwa farasi na wapanda farasi, watu mashujaa na askari wa kila aina,’ asema Bwana Mwenyezi.
You shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men, and with all men of war,” says the Lord GOD.’
21 “Nitauonyesha utukufu wangu miongoni mwa mataifa, nayo mataifa yote wataiona adhabu nitakayotoa na mkono wangu nitakaouweka juu yao.
“I will set my glory among the nations. Then all the nations will see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.
22 Kuanzia siku ile na kuendelea nyumba ya Israeli itajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wao.
So the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God, from that day and forward.
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.
The nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword.
24 Niliwatendea sawasawa na uchafu wao na makosa yao, nami nikawaficha uso wangu.
I did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions. I hid 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel. I will be jealous for 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.
They will forget their shame and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwell securely in their land. No one will make them afraid
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 peoples, gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am shown holy among them in the sight of many 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.
They will know that I am the LORD their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land. Then I will leave none of them captive any more.
29 Sitawaficha tena uso wangu, kwa maana nitamimina Roho wangu juu ya nyumba ya Israeli, asema Bwana Mwenyezi.”
I won’t hide my face from them any more, for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord GOD.”
