Ezekieli 32
1 Kisha ikawa katika mwezi wa kumi na mbili wa mwaka wa kumi na mbili, siku ya kwanza ya mwezi, lile neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 “Mwanadamu, inua maombolezo kuhusu Farao mfalme wa Misri; mwambie, 'Wewe ni kama simba mdogo juu ya mataifa, lakini kama jitu la kutisha, unatoka kwenye maji, unayachafua maji kwa miguu yako na kuyachafua maji yao.
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou wast like a young lion among the nations, and thou wast as a monster in the seas; and thou didst break forth in thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
3 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Basi nitautandaza wavu wangu juu yako katika kusanyiko la watu wengi, na watawainua juu katika wavu wangu.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also spread out my net over thee with an assemblage of many peoples; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
4 Nitakuacha katika nchi. Nitakutupa kwenye shamba na kufanya ndege wote wa angani watue juu yako; njaa ya wanyama wote waishio juu ya nchi watashibishwa na wewe.
And I will leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowl of the heavens to settle upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
5 Kwa kuwa nitaiweka nyama yako juu ya milima, na nitayajaza mabonde kwa funza wako waliokufa.
And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with the heap of thy [members];
6 Kisha nitamwaga damu yako juu ya milima, na vitanda vya kijito vitajazwa kwa damu yako.
and I will water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the water-courses shall be full of thee.
7 Kisha wakati nitakapokuzimisha, nitazifunika mbingu na kuzitia giza nyota zake; nitalifunika jua kwa mawingu, na mwezi hautatoa nuru yake usiku.
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heavens, and make the stars thereof black; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8 Mianga ya mbinguni nitaiweka giza juu yako, na nitaweka giza juu ya nchi-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe.
All the bright lights of the heavens will I make black over thee, and bring darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord Jehovah.
9 Hivyo nitaitisha mioyo ya watu wengi katika nchi ambao huwajui, wakati nitakapoleta kuhusu uvunjifu miongoni mwa mataifa, miongoni mwa nchi ambazo hukuzijua.
And I will vex the heart of many peoples, when I bring [the news of] thy destruction among the nations, into the countries that thou hast not known.
10 Nitawashangaza watu wengi kuhusiana na wewe; wafalme wao watatetemeka kwa hofu kuhusiana na wewe nitakapoutikisa upanga wangu mbele yao. Kila wakati kila mmoja atatetemeka kwa sababu yako, katika siku ya kuanguka kwako.
And I will make many peoples amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid at thee, when I brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, each one for his life, in the day of thy fall.
11 Kwa kuwa Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Upanga wa mfalme wa Babeli utakuja juu yako.
For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
12 Nitawafanya watu wako kuanguka kwa panga za mashujaa-kila shujaa ni tishio la mataifa. Hawa mashujaa watateketeza kiburi cha Misri na kuangamiza watu wake wote.
By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall: the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall spoil the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
13 Kwa kuwa nitaiharibu mifugo yote kutoka karibu na maji mengi; na mguu wa mtu hautayatibua tena, wala kwato za wanyama hazitayatibua.
And I will destroy all the beasts thereof, from beside the great waters; and the foot of man shall not trouble them any more, nor shall the cloven hoofs of beasts trouble them.
14 Kisha nitayafanya maji yao kuwa matulivu na kufanya mito yao kukimbia kama mafuta-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe.
Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15 Wakati nitakapoifanya nchi ya Misri sehemu iliyojitenga, wakati nchi iliyopungukiwa na vitu viijazavyo, wakati nitakapo washambulia wakaao ndani yake, watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
When I shall make the land of Egypt a desolation, and the country shall be left desolate of all that was in it, when I have smitten all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I [am] Jehovah.
16 Kutakuwa na maombolezo; binti za mataifa wataomboleza juu yake; wataomboleza juu ya Misri, juu ya watu wake wote wataomboleza-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”'
It is a lamentation, and [thus] they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall say it in lamenting; they shall say it in lamenting over Egypt and over all her multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.
17 Kisha ikawa katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi, lile neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
18 “Mwanadamu, omboleza kwa ajili watu wa misri na walete chini-yeye na binti za mataifa mashuhuri-hata chini ya dunia pamoja na wale walioshuka chini kwenye shimo.
Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, her and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the lower parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19 'Je! wewe ni mzuri zaidi kuliko mtu mwingine yeyote? Nenda chini na lala chini pamoja na wasiotahiriwa.'
Whom dost thou surpass in beauty? Go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
20 Wataanguka miongoni mwao waliokuwa wameuawa kwa upanga. Upanga ulikuwa umewekwa! Alikuwa amepatiwa upanga; watamkamata na watu wake.
They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword. The sword hath been given: draw her out, and all her multitudes.
21 Hodari wa wapiganaji katika Sheoli atasema kuhusu Misri na rafiki zake, 'Wameshuka chini hapa! Watalala pamoja na wasiotahiriwa, pamoja na wale waliokuwa wameuawa kwa upanga.' (Sheol h7585)
The strong among the mighty, with them that helped him, shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol: they are gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)
22 Ashuru yupo huko pamoja na kusanyiko lake. Makaburi yake yamemzunguka; wote waliuawa kwa upanga.
There is Asshur and all his assemblage, his graves round about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword;
23 Wale ambao makaburi yao yamewekwa katika maficho ya mashimo yaliyo huko, pamoja na kusanyiko lake. Makaburi yake yakiwazunguka wote waliokuwa wameuawa, walioanguka kwa upanga, wale walioleta hofu juu ya nchi ya walio hai.
their graves are set in the sides of the pit, and his assemblage is round about his grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, — who caused terror in the land of the living.
24 Elamu yupo huko pamoja na watu wake wote. Makaburi yake yamemzunguka; wote walikuwa wameuawa. Wale walioawa kwa upanga, walioshuka chini wasiotahiriwa hata sehemu ya chini kabisa ya dunia, waliowatia hofu juu ya nchi ya walio hai na wale waliobeba aibu yao wenyewe, pamoja na wale washukao chini kwenye shimo.
There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised unto the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their confusion with them that go down to the pit.
25 Wamemuwekea kitanda kwa ajili ya Elamu na watu wake wote kati ya wachinjaji; kaburi lake limemzunguka. Wote hawajatahiriwa, kukatwa vipande kwa upanga, kwa sababu waliwaleta mashujaa wao juu ya nchi ya walio hai. Hivyo wamechukua aibu yao wenyewe, pamoja na wale washukao kwenye shimo miongoni mwa wote waliouawa, wale washukao kwenda shimoni. Elamu yu miongoni mwa wale waliokuwa wameuawa.
They have set him a bed in the midst of the slain, with all his multitude: their graves are round about him, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though their terror was caused in the land of the living; and they have borne their confusion with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that are slain.
26 Mesheki, Tubali, na watu wake wote wako huko! Makaburi yao yamewazunguka. Wote hawajatahiriwa, wameuawa kwa upanga, kwa sababu walileta utiisho wao juu ya nchi ya walio hai.
There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude, their graves round about them, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
27 Wasilale pamoja mashujaa walioanguka wa wasiotahiriwa walioshuka chini kwa Sheoli pamoja na silaha zao zote za vita, na pamoja na panga zao zote walizoziweka chini ya vichwa vyao na maovu yao juu ya mifupa yao. Kwa kuwa walikuwa tishio kwa mashujaa katika nchi ya walio hai. (Sheol h7585)
And they lie not with the mighty, [that are] fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war; and whose swords are laid under their heads, and whose iniquities are upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
28 Basi wewe, Misri, utavunjika kati yao wasiotahiriwa! Utalala karibu nao waliokuwa wamekatwa vipande vipande kwa upanga.
Thou also shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.
29 Edomu yuko huko na wafalme na viongozi wake wote. Walikuwa wamehifadhiwa katika uwezo wao pamoja na wale walioawa kwa upanga. Pamoja na wasiotahiriwa wamelala, pamoja na wale walioshuka kwenye shimo.
There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who in their might are laid with them that are slain by the sword: they lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
30 Wakuu wa kaskazini wako huko-wote na Wasidoni wote walioshuka chini pamoja na hao waliokuwa wamekatwa vipande vipande. Walikuwa na nguvu na kuwafanya wengine kuogopa, lakini sasa wako huko kwa aibu, wasiotahiriwa pamoja na wale waliokatwa vipande vipande kwa upanga. Wamebeba aibu yao wenyewe, pamoja nao waendao kwenye shimo.
There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, that are gone down with the slain — ashamed of the terror which they caused through their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, and bear their confusion with them that go down to the pit.
31 Farao ataona na kupata faraja kuhusu kundi lake waliokatwa vipande vipande kwa upanga -Farao na jeshi lake lote-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah.
32 Natamuweka kama utiisho wangu katika nchi ya walio hai, lakini atakuwa amelazwa chini katikati yao wasiotahiriwa, miongoni mwa wale walio katwa vipande kwa upanga, Farao na makundi yake yote-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
For I have caused my terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.
