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,

Then it happened in the twelfth month of the twelfth year, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to 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, lift up a lament concerning Pharaoh the king of Egypt; say to him, 'You are like a young lion among the nations, but you are like a monster in the seas; you churn up the water, you stir up the waters with your feet and muddy their waters.

3 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Basi nitautandaza wavu wangu juu yako katika kusanyiko la watu wengi, na watawainua juu katika wavu wangu.

The Lord Yahweh says this: So I will spread my net over you in the assembly of many peoples, and they will lift you 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.

I will abandon you in the land. I will throw you into a field and cause all the birds of the heavens to settle on you; the hunger of all living animals on earth will be satisfied by you.

5 Kwa kuwa nitaiweka nyama yako juu ya milima, na nitayajaza mabonde kwa funza wako waliokufa.

For I will put your flesh on the mountains, and I will fill the valleys with your worm-filled corpse.

6 Kisha nitamwaga damu yako juu ya milima, na vitanda vya kijito vitajazwa kwa damu yako.

Then I will pour your blood over the mountains, and the stream beds will be filled with your blood.

7 Kisha wakati nitakapokuzimisha, nitazifunika mbingu na kuzitia giza nyota zake; nitalifunika jua kwa mawingu, na mwezi hautatoa nuru yake usiku.

Then when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with clouds, and the moon will not shine its light.

8 Mianga ya mbinguni nitaiweka giza juu yako, na nitaweka giza juu ya nchi-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe.

All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will put darkness over your land—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

9 Hivyo nitaitisha mioyo ya watu wengi katika nchi ambao huwajui, wakati nitakapoleta kuhusu uvunjifu miongoni mwa mataifa, miongoni mwa nchi ambazo hukuzijua.

So I will terrify the heart of many peoples in lands that you do not know, when I bring about your collapse among the nations, among lands that you have 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.

I will shock many peoples concerning you; their kings will shudder in horror concerning you when I swing my sword before them. Every moment each one will tremble because of you, on the day of your downfall.

11 Kwa kuwa Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Upanga wa mfalme wa Babeli utakuja juu yako.

For the Lord Yahweh says this: The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you.

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.

I will cause your multitudes to fall by warriors' swords—each warrior a terror of nations. These warriors will devastate the pride of Egypt and destroy all of its multitudes.

13 Kwa kuwa nitaiharibu mifugo yote kutoka karibu na maji mengi; na mguu wa mtu hautayatibua tena, wala kwato za wanyama hazitayatibua.

For I will destroy all the livestock from beside the plentiful waters; the foot of man will no longer stir the waters up, neither will the hooves of cattle stir them.

14 Kisha nitayafanya maji yao kuwa matulivu na kufanya mito yao kukimbia kama mafuta-hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Yahwe.

Then I will calm their waters and make their rivers run like oil— this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

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 make the land of Egypt an abandoned place, when the land is made bare of all its fullness, when I attack all the inhabitants in her, they will know that I am Yahweh.

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.”'

There will be a lament; the daughters of the nations will lament over her; they will lament over Egypt, over all her multitudes they will lament—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”

17 Kisha ikawa katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili, siku ya kumi na tano ya mwezi, lile neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,

Then it happened in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to 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, weep for the multitudes of Egypt and bring them down— her and the daughters of majestic nations—to the lowest earth with those who have gone down to the pit.

19 'Je! wewe ni mzuri zaidi kuliko mtu mwingine yeyote? Nenda chini na lala chini pamoja na wasiotahiriwa.'

'Are you really more beautiful than anyone else? Go down and lie down with the uncircumcised.'

20 Wataanguka miongoni mwao waliokuwa wameuawa kwa upanga. Upanga ulikuwa umewekwa! Alikuwa amepatiwa upanga; watamkamata na watu wake.

They will fall among those who were killed by the sword. The sword has been drawn! She has been given to the sword; they will seize her and 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 strongest of the warriors in Sheol will declare about Egypt and her allies, 'They have come down here! They will lie with the uncircumcised, with those who were killed by the sword.' (Sheol h7585)

22 Ashuru yupo huko pamoja na kusanyiko lake. Makaburi yake yamemzunguka; wote waliuawa kwa upanga.

Assyria is there with all her assembly. Her graves surround her; all of them were killed 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.

Those whose graves are set in the recesses of the pit are there, with all her assembly. Her graves surround all of those who were killed, who fell by the sword, those who brought terror on 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.

Elam is there with all her multitudes. Her graves surround her; all of them were killed. Those who fell by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised to the lowest parts of the earth, who brought their terrors on the land of the living and who carry their own shame, together with the ones going 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 set a bedroll for Elam and all her multitudes in the midst of the slain; her graves surround her. All of them are uncircumcised, pierced by the sword, because they had brought their terrors on the land of the living. So they carry their own shame, together with the ones going down to the pit among all those who have been killed, those who are going down to the pit. Elam is among all those who were killed.

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.

Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitudes are there! Their graves surround them. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword, because they had brought their terrors on 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)

They do not lie with the fallen warriors of the uncircumcised who have gone down to Sheol with all their weapons of war, and with their swords placed under their heads and their iniquities over their bones. For they were the terror of warriors 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.

So you, Egypt, will be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised! You will lie alongside those who were pierced by 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.

Edom is there with her kings and all her leaders. They have been placed in their strength with those killed by the sword. With the uncircumcised they lie, with those who have gone 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.

The princes of the north are there—all of them and all the Sidonians who went down with the ones who had been pierced. They were powerful and made others to be afraid, but now they are there in shame, uncircumcised with those who were pierced by the sword. They carry their own shame, together with the ones going 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 will look and be comforted about all his multitudes who were pierced by the sword—Pharaoh and all his army—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

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.

I put him as my terrifying one in the land of the living, but he will be laid down in the midst of the uncircumcised, among those pierced by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitudes—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
