< 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 in the twelfth yeere in the twelfth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth, the worde of the Lord came vnto 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.
Sonne of man, take vp a lamentation for Pharaoh King of Egypt, and say vnto him, Thou art like a lyon of the nations and art as a dragon in the sea: thou castedst out thy riuers and troubledst the waters with thy feete, and stampedst in their riuers.
3 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Basi nitautandaza wavu wangu juu yako katika kusanyiko la watu wengi, na watawainua juu katika wavu wangu.
Thus sayth the Lord God, I will therefore spread my net ouer thee with a great multitude of people, and they shall make thee come vp into 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.
Then will I leaue thee vpon the land, and I will cast thee vpon the open field, and I wil cause all the foules of the heauen to remaine vpon thee, and I will fill all the beastes of the field with thee.
5 Kwa kuwa nitaiweka nyama yako juu ya milima, na nitayajaza mabonde kwa funza wako waliokufa.
And I will lay thy flesh vpon the mountaines, and fill the valleys with thine height.
6 Kisha nitamwaga damu yako juu ya milima, na vitanda vya kijito vitajazwa kwa damu yako.
I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, euen to ye mountaines, and the riuers 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 couer the heauen, and make the starres thereof darke: I will couer the sunne with a cloude, and the moone shall not giue her light.
8 Mianga ya mbinguni nitaiweka giza juu yako, na nitaweka giza juu ya nchi-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe.
All the lightes of heauen will I make darke for thee, and bring darkenesse vpon thy lande, sayeth the Lord God.
9 Hivyo nitaitisha mioyo ya watu wengi katika nchi ambao huwajui, wakati nitakapoleta kuhusu uvunjifu miongoni mwa mataifa, miongoni mwa nchi ambazo hukuzijua.
I will also trouble the heartes of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations and vpon the countries which thou hast not knowen.
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.
Yea, I will make many people amased at thee, and their Kings shalbe astonished with feare for thee, when I shall make my sworde to glitter against their faces, and they shall be afraide at euery moment: euery man for his owne life in the day of thy fall.
11 Kwa kuwa Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Upanga wa mfalme wa Babeli utakuja juu yako.
For thus sayth the Lord God, The sworde of the King of Babel shall come vpon 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 swordes of the mightie will I cause thy multitude to fall: they all shall be terrible nations, and they shall destroy the pompe of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shalbe consumed.
13 Kwa kuwa nitaiharibu mifugo yote kutoka karibu na maji mengi; na mguu wa mtu hautayatibua tena, wala kwato za wanyama hazitayatibua.
I will destroy also all the beastes thereof from the great watersides, neither shall the foote of man trouble them any more, nor the hooues of beast 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 deepe, and cause their riuers to runne like oyle, sayeth the Lord God.
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 desolate, and the countrey with all that is therein, shall be laid waste: when I shall smite all them which dwell therein, then shall they know that I am ye Lord.
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.”'
This is the mourning wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for Egypt, and for all her multitude, sayeth the Lord God.
17 Kisha ikawa katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi, lile neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
In the twelfth yeere also in the fifteenth day of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord vnto 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.
Sonne of man, lament for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them downe, euen them and the daughters of the mighty nations vnto the nether partes of the earth, with them that goe downe into the pit.
19 'Je! wewe ni mzuri zaidi kuliko mtu mwingine yeyote? Nenda chini na lala chini pamoja na wasiotahiriwa.'
Whome doest thou passe in beautie? goe downe and sleepe with the vncircumcised.
20 Wataanguka miongoni mwao waliokuwa wameuawa kwa upanga. Upanga ulikuwa umewekwa! Alikuwa amepatiwa upanga; watamkamata na watu wake.
They shall fall in the middes of them that are slaine by the sword: shee is deliuered to the sword: draw her downe, and all her multitude.
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 )
The most mighty and strong shall speake to him out of the mids of hell with them that helpe her: they are gone downe and sleepe with the vncircumcised that be slaine by the sworde. (Sheol )
22 Ashuru yupo huko pamoja na kusanyiko lake. Makaburi yake yamemzunguka; wote waliuawa kwa upanga.
Asshur is there and all his companie: their graues are about him: all they are slaine and fallen by the sworde.
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.
Whose graues are made in the side of the pit, and his multitude are rounde about his graue: all they are slaine and fallen by the sworde, which caused feare to be in the land of the liuing.
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 his multitude round about his graue: al they are slaine and fallen by the sword which are gone downe with the vncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused themselues to be feared in the land of the liuing, yet haue they borne their shame with them that are gone downe 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 haue made his bed in the mids of the slaine with al his multitude: their graues are round about him: all these vncircucised are slaine by the sworde: though they haue caused their feare in the land of ye liuing, yet haue they borne their shame with them that goe downe to the pitte: they are laide in the middes of them, that be slaine.
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 graues are round about them: al these vncircumcised were slaine by the sworde, though they caused their feare to be in ye land of the liuing.
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 )
And they shall not lie with the valiant of the vncircumcised, that are fallen, which are gone down to the graue, with their weapons of warre, and haue laied their swords vnder their heads, but their iniquitie shalbe vpon their bones: because they were the feare of the mighty in the lande of the liuing. (Sheol )
28 Basi wewe, Misri, utavunjika kati yao wasiotahiriwa! Utalala karibu nao waliokuwa wamekatwa vipande vipande kwa upanga.
Yea, thou shalt be broken in the middes of the vncircumcised, and lie with them that are slaine by the sworde.
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, his Kings, and all his princes, which with their strength are laied by them that were slaine by the sworde: they shall sleepe with the vncircumcised, and with them that goe downe 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 be al the princes of the North, with al the Zidonians, which are gone downe with the slaine, with their feare: they are ashamed of their strength, and the vncircumcised sleepe with them that be slaine by the sword, and beare their shame with them that goe downe 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 hee shall be comforted ouer all his multitude: Pharaoh, and all his armie shall be slaine by the sword, saieth the Lord God.
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 haue caused my feare to be in the lande of the liuing: and he shall be laid in the mids of the vncircumcised with them, that are slaine by the sword, euen Pharaoh and all his multitude, sayeth the Lord God.
