Ezekieli 35
1 Kisha neno la Yahwe likanijia, kusema,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 “Mwanadamu, weka uso wako juu ya Mlima Seiri na tabiri dhidi yake.
“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 Uiambie, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Tazama! ni juu yako, Mlima Seiri, nitakupiga kwa mkono wangu na kukufanya ukiwa na tishio.
and you have said to it, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against you, And made you a desolation and an astonishment.
4 Nitaiharibu miji yenu, na wewe mwenyewe utakuwa ukiwa; kisha utajua kuwa mimi ni Yahwe.
I make your cities a ruin, and you are a desolation, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
5 Kwa sababu umekuwa adui kwa watu wangu Israeli siku zote, na kwa sababu umewatoa kwenye mikono ya upanga wakati wa mateso yao, wakati adhabu yao itakapokuwa katika ukubwa wake.
Because of your having continuous enmity, And you saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end:
6 Kwa hiyo, kama niishivyo-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-nitaandaa kwa ajili ya damu, na damu na kukufutilia! Kwa kuwa hukuchukia damu, damu itakufuatilia.
Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Surely I appoint you for blood, And blood pursues you, If you have not hated blood, Blood also pursues you.
7 Nitaufanya Mlima Seiri mkamilifu na ukiwa wakati nitakapoukatilia mbali kutoka huo yeyote apitaye na arudiye tena.
And I have given Mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning,
8 Kisha nitaijaza milima kwa watu wao waliokufa. Milima yako na mabonde na mifereji-wale walioawa kwa upanga wataanguka kati yao.
And filled his mountains with his wounded, Your hills, and your valleys, and all your streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them.
9 Nitakufanya mkiwa daima. Miji yako haitakaliwa na watu, lakini mtajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
I make you continuous desolations, And your cities do not return, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
10 Umesema, “Haya mataifa mawili na hizi nchi mbili zitakuwa zangu, na tutazimiliki,” hata wakati Yahwe alipokuwa pamoja nao.
Because of your saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And YHWH has been there;
11 Kwa hiyo, kama niishivyo-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo-hivyo nitafanya kulingana na hasira yako na kulingana na wivu wako ambao uliousikia katika chuki yako ya Israeli, na nitajidhihirisha kwao nitakapokuhukumu.
Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, And I have done according to your anger, And according to your envy, With which you have worked, Because of your hatred against them, And I have been known among them when I judge you.
12 Hivyo utajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe. Nimeyasikia matukano yako yote uliyasema dhidi ya milima ya Israeli, uliposema, “Wameharibiwa; wametolewa kwetu tuwale.
And you have known that I [am] YHWH, I have heard all your despisings that you have spoken Against mountains of Israel, saying, A desolation—they were given to us for food.
13 “Nanyi mmejitukuza juu yangu kwa kile mlichokisema, na mmeongeza maneno juu yangu; na kuyasikia yote.
And you magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made your words abundant against Me; I have heard.
14 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitakufanya ukiwa, wakati dunia nzima itakapofurahi.
Thus said Lord YHWH: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, I make a desolation of you.
15 Kama vile unavyofurahi juu ya urithi wa watu wa Israeli kwa sababu ukiwa ya wake, ndivyo nitakavyokutenda wewe. Utakuwa ukiwa, Mlima Seiri, na Edomu yote! Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe.”'
According to your joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, So I do to you—you are a desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom—all of it, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
