< Ezekieli 29 >
1 Katika siku ya kumi, katika mwezi wa kumi siku ya kumi na moja ya mwezi, neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
In the year tenth in the tenth [month] on [day] two [plus] ten of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Mwanadamu, weka uso wako juu ya Farao, mfalme wa Misri; toa unabii juu yake na juu ya Israeli yote.
O son of humankind set face your on Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and prophesy on him and on Egypt all of it.
3 Nena na sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Tazama! Ni juu yako, Farao, mfalme wa Misri. Wewe joka kubwa ambaye ujifichaye kati ya mto, husema, “Mto wangu ni wangu mwenyewe. Nimeufanya kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe.”
Speak and you will say thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you O Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt the sea monster great which lies in among canals its which it has said [belongs] to me River my and I I made for myself.
4 Kwa kuwa nitaweka kalabu katika taya zako, nasamaki za mto wako zitashikamana na magamba yako; nitakuinua juu kutoka kati ya mto wako karibu na samaki zote za mto walioshikamana na maganda yako.
And I will put (hooks *Q(k)*) in jaws your and I will make cling [the] fish of canals your to scales your and I will bring up you from among canals your and all [the] fish of canals your to scales your it will cling.
5 Nitakutupa chini kwenye jangwa, wewe pamoja na samaki wako wote kutoka kwenye mto wako. Utaanguka kwenye shamba la wazi; hutakusanya wala kuinua. Nitakupatia kama chakula kwa viumbe hai vya dunia na kwenye ndege wa angani.
And I will abandon you the wilderness towards you and all [the] fish of canals your on [the] surface of the field you will fall not you will be gathered and not you will be gathered to [the] animal[s] of the earth and to [the] bird[s] of the heavens I will give you for food.
6 Kisha wote wakaao Misri watajua kwamba mimi Yahwe, kwa sababu wamekuwa mwanzi wa kutegemewa hata kwenye nyumba ya Israeli.
And they will know all [the] inhabitants of Egypt that I [am] Yahweh because have been they a staff of reed for [the] house of Israel.
7 Wakati watakapokushika kwa mkono wao, ulivunjika na kurarua wazi mabega yao; na watakapojifunza juu yako, ulivunjika, na kusababisha miguu yao kutokuwa imara.
When seized they you (by the hand *Q(K)*) you were crushed and you broke of them every shoulder and when leaned they on you you were broken and you caused to stand of them all hips.
8 Kwa hiyo Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Tazama! nitaleta upanga juu yako. Nitawakatilia mbali wote mwanadamu na mnyama mbali nawe.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to bring on you a sword and I will cut off from you humankind and animal[s].
9 Hivyo nchi ya Misri itakuwa ukiwa na jangwa. Ndipo watakapojua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe, kwa sababu jitu la kutisha liliseama, “Huu mto ni wangu, kwa kuwa nimeufanya mimi.”
And it will become [the] land of Egypt a desolation and a ruin and they will know that I [am] Yahweh because he said [the] River [belongs] to me and I I made [it].
10 Kwa hiyo, tazama! Ni juu yako na juu ya mto wako, hivyo nitaitoa nchi ya Misri juu ya ukiwa na jangwa, na utakuwa nchi yenye jangwa kutoka Migdoli hata Sewene na mipaka ya Kushi.
Therefore here I [am] against you and against canals your and I will make [the] land of Egypt ruins of destruction a desolation from Migdol Syene and to [the] border of Cush.
11 Hakutakuwa na mguu wa mtu kupitia, na hakuna mguu wa wanyama pori watakao upitia. Haitakuwa makao kwa miaka arobaini.
Not it will pass in it [the] foot of human[s] and [the] foot of animal[s] not it will pass in it and not it will remain forty year[s].
12 Kwa kuwa nitaifanya nchi ya Misri kuwa ukiwa kati ya nchi zilizoharibiwa, na miji yake kati ya miji isiyotumika itakuwa ukiwa kwa miaka arobaini; kisha nitaitawanya Misri miongoni mwa mataifa, nitawatapanya kati ya nchi mbali mbali.
And I will make [the] land of Egypt a desolation in midst of - lands made desolate and cities its in midst of cities laid waste they will be a desolation forty year[s] and I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.
13 Kwa kuwa Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Mwisho wa miaka arobaini nitaikusanya Misri kutoka kwa watu miongoni mwao wale waliokuwa wametawanyika.
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh from [the] end of forty year[s] I will gather Egypt from the peoples where they were scattered there towards.
14 Nitawarudisha wageni wa Misri na kuwarudisha hata mkoa wa Pathrosi, hata kwenye nchi ya asili yao. Kisha huko watakuwa ufalme wa chini.
And I will turn back [the] captivity of Egypt and I will bring back them [the] land of Pathros to [the] land of origin their and they will be there a kingdom lowly.
15 Utakuwa chini ya falme, na hautajiinua tena juu ya mataifa. Nitawapunguza hivyo hawatatawala tena juu ya mataifa.
More than the kingdoms it will be lowly and not it will exalt itself again over the nations and I will make small them to not to rule over the nations.
16 Wamisri hawatakuwa sababu kwa ajili ya imani kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Israeli. Badala yake, watakuwa kumbusho la uovu ambao Israeli umeufanya walipogeukia Misri kwa ajili ya msaada. Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Bwana Yahwe.”'
And not it will become again for [the] house of Israel a confidence bringing to remembrance iniquity when turned they after them and they will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.
17 Kisha ikawa katika mwaka wa ishirini na saba siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, lile neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
And it was in twenty and seven year in the first [month] on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
18 “Mwanadamu, Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli amelinda jeshi lake kufanya kazi ngumu juu ya Tiro. Kila kichwa kilitiwa upara, na kila bega lilifanywa mali ghafi. Kisha yeye na jeshi lake hawakupokea malipo kutoka Tiro kwa kazi ngumu aliyokuwa ameimaliza dhidi yake.
O son of humankind Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon he made to labor army his labor great against Tyre every head [was] made bald and every shoulder [was] made bare and wage[s] not it belonged to him and to army his from Tyre on the labor which he had labored on it.
19 Kwa hiyo Bwana Mungu asema hivi, 'Tazama! ninawapatia Nebukadreza nchi ya Misri mfalme wa Babeli, na atachukua utajiri wake, kuziteka nyara milki zake, na kuchukua yote atakayoyakuta huko; nayo yatakuwa mshahara wa jeshi lake.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to give to Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon [the] land of Egypt and he will carry off wealth its and he will plunder plunder its and he will take as spoil spoil its and it will be wage[s] for army his.
20 Nimempatia nchi ya Misri kama mshahara kwa ajili ya kazi waliyonifanyia-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
Recompense his which he served for it I have given to him [the] land of Egypt that they acted for me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
21 siku hiyo nitachipusha pembe kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Israeli, na nitakufanya uzungumze kati yao, ili kwamba wajue yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”'
On the day that I will make grow a horn for [the] house of Israel and to you I will give opening of mouth in midst of them and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
