Ezekieli 25

1 Kisha neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Mwanadamu, weka uso wako juu ya watu wa Amoni na tabiri juu yao.

“Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them.

3 Waambie watu wa Amoni, 'Sikiliza neno la Bwana Yahwe. Hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo: Kwa sababu umesema, “Aha!” juu ya patakatifu pangu wakati palipotiwa unajisi, na juu ya nchi ya Israeli wakati ilipokuwa ukiwa, na juu ya nyumba ya Yuda wakati walipoenda utumwani,

Tell the Ammonites to hear the word of the Lord GOD, for this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you exclaimed, “Aha!” when My sanctuary was profaned, when the land of Israel was laid waste, and when the house of Judah went into exile,

4 kwa hiyo, tazama, nitakupatia kwa watu katika mashariki kama milki yao. Watafanya kambi juu yako na kuweka mahema miongoni mwako. Watakula matunda yako na watakunywa maziwa yako.

therefore I will indeed give you as a possession to the people of the East. They will set up their camps and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

5 Nitamfanya Raba malisho ya ngamia na watu wa Amoni shamba la mifugo. Kisha utajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.

I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’

6 Kwa kuwa Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Umepigia makofi mikono yako na kupiga chapa miguu yako, na kufurahi pamoja na dharau ndani yako dhidi ya nchi ya Israeli.

For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you clapped your hands and stomped your feet and rejoiced over the land of Israel with a heart full of contempt,

7 Kwa hiyo, tazama! Nitanyoosha mkono wangu na kukupatia kama mateka kwa mataifa. Nitakukatilia mbali kutoka watu na kukuangamiza kutoka miongoni mwa nchi! Nitakuharibu, na utajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.'

therefore I will indeed stretch out My hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD.’

8 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, 'Kwa sababu Moabu na Seiri husema “Tazama! Nyumba ya Yuda ni kama kila taifa jingine.”

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,”

9 Kwa hiyo, tazama! ntafungua miteremko ya Moabu, kuanzia kwenye miji yake juu ya mpaka-uzuri wa Beth Yeshimothi, Baal Meoni, na Kiriathaimu-

therefore I will indeed expose the flank of Moab beginning with its frontier cities—Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim—the glory of the land.

10 kwa watu wa mashariki waliokuwa juu ya watu wa Amoni. Nitawapatia kama milki ili kwamba watu wa Amoni hawatakumbukwa miongoni mwa mataifa.

I will give it along with the Ammonites as a possession to the people of the East, so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations.

11 Hivyo nitafanya hukumu juu ya Moabu, na watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.'

So I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.’

12 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, Edomu amelipiza kisasi juu ya nyumba ya Yuda na amefanya makosa katika kufanya hivyo.

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah, and in so doing incurred grievous guilt,

13 Kwa hiyo, Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitaunyoosha mkono wangu juu ya Edomu na kumharibu kila mtu na wanyama huko. Nitawaharibu, sehemu ya ukiwa, kutoka Temani hata Dedani. Wataanguka kwa upanga.

therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off from it both man and beast. I will make it a wasteland, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

14 Nitaweka kisasi changu juu ya Edomu kwa mkono wa watu wangu Israeli, na watafanya kwa Edomu kulingana na hasira yangu na ghadhabu yangu, na wakitajua kisasi changu-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.'

I will take My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath. Then they will know My vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.’

15 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, 'Wafilisti wamelipiza kisasi pamoja na uovu na kutoka ndani yao wamejaribu kuiharibu Yuda tena na tena.

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because the Philistines acted in vengeance, taking vengeance with malice of soul to destroy Judah with ancient hostility,

16 Basi hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo: Tazam! Nitanyoosha mkono wangu dhidi ya Wafilisti, na nitakalia mbali Wakerethi na kuwaharibu mabaki yaliyobaki karibu na pwani.

therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant along the coast.

17 Kwa kuwa nitalipiza kisasi kikubwa dhidi yao pamoja na matendo ya ghadhabu kubwa ya adhabu, hivyo watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe, nitakapolipiza kisasi juu yao.”'

I will execute great vengeance against them with furious reproof. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay My vengeance upon them.’”
