Ezekieli 39
1 “Kisha wewe, mwanadamu, tabiri dhidi ya Gogu na sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Tazama! ni kinyume nawe, Gogu, mkuu wa Mesheki na Tubali.
And thou, son of man, prophesy concerning Gog, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal,
2 Nitakugeuza na kukuongoza; nitakupandisha juu kutoka mbali kaskazini na kukuleta hata milima ya Israeli.
And have turned thee back, and enticed thee, And caused thee to come up from the sides of the north, And brought thee in against mountains of Israel,
3 Kisha nitaufunga upinde wako utoke katika mkono wako wa kushoto na kuifanya mishale kuanguka kutoka kwenye mkono wako wa kuume.
And have smitten thy bow out of thy left hand, Yea, thine arrows out of thy right I cause to fall.
4 Utaanguka juu ya milima ya Israeli-wewe na jeshi lako late na maaskari walio pamoja nawe. Nitawapatia ndege mbua na wanyama pori wa mashambani kwa ajili ya chakula.
On mountains of Israel thou fallest, Thou, and all thy bands, and the peoples who [are] with thee, To ravenous fowl — a bird of every wing, And [to] a beast of the field, I have given thee for food.
5 Utaanguka juu ya uso wa shamba, kwa kuwa mimi mwenyewe nimesema hivyo-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
On the face of the field thou fallest, for I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
6 Kisha nitapeleka moto juu ya Magogu na kwa wale waishio salama juu ya pwani, na watajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
And I have sent a fire against Magog, And against the confident inhabitants of the isles, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.
7 Kwa kuwa nitalifanya jina langu takatifu lijulikane kati ya watu wangu Israeli, na sitaruhusu tena jina langu takatifu litukanwe; mataifa watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe, Mtakatifu katika Israeli.
And My holy name I make known in the midst of My people Israel, And I pollute not My holy name any more, And known have the nations that I, Jehovah, the Holy One, [am] in Israel.
8 Tazama! Siku inakuja, na itachukua nafasi-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
Lo, it hath come, and it hath been done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, It [is] the day of which I spake.
9 Hao wakaao katika miji ya Israeli watatoka nje na watatumia silaha kuwasha moto na kutengeneza moto na kuwachoma-ngao ndogo, ngao kubwa, pinde, mishale, rungu, na mikuki; watatengeneza mioto pamoja nao kwa muda wa siku saba.
And gone out have the inhabitants of cities of Israel, And they have burned and kindled [a fire], With armour, and shield, and buckler, With bow, and with arrows, And with hand-staves, and with javelins, And they have caused a fire to burn with them seven years,
10 Hawatakusanya kuni kutoka mashambani wala kukata miti kutoka kwenye misitu, kwa kuwa watazichoma hizo silaha; watawateka nyara wale watakaotaka kuwateka nyara-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”
And they do not take wood out of the field, Nor do they hew out of the forests, For with armour they cause the fire to burn, And they have spoiled their spoilers, And they have plundered their plunderers, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
11 Kisha itakuwa katika hiyo siku ambayo nitaifanya sehemu huko kwa ajili ya Gogu-kaburi la Israeli, bonde kwa ajili ya wale wanaosafiri hata mashariki ya bahari. Litawazuia wale wanaotegemea kupita. Huko watamzika Gogu pamoja na kundi lake lote. Watapaita bonde la Hamon-Gogu.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, I give to Gog a place there — a grave in Israel, the valley of those passing by, east of the sea, and it is stopping those passing by, and they have buried there Gog, and all his multitude, and have cried, O valley of the multitude of Gog!
12 Kwa muda wa siku saba nyumba ya Israeli itawazika ili kuitakasa nchi.
And the house of Israel have buried them — in order to cleanse the land — seven months.
13 Kwa kuwa watu wa nchi watawazika; itakuwa siku ya kukumbukwa kwao wakati nitakapotukuzwa-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.
Yea, all the people of the land have buried them, and it hath been to them for a name — the day of My being honoured — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
14 Kisha watawateua watu kuendelea kwenda kwenye nchi, kuwatafuta wale waliokuwa wakisafiri, lakini waliokufa na miili yao kubaki juu ya uso wa nchi, ili kwamba waweze kuwazika, kwa ajili ya kusafisha nchi. Katika siku ya mwisho ya mwezi wa saba wataanza kutafuta.
And men for continual employment they separate, passing on through the land, burying with those passing by those who are left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it: at the end of seven months they search.
15 Kama hawa watu wapitao kwenye nchi, watakapoona mfupa wowote wa binadamu, wataweka alama kwa huo, hadi wachimba kaburi watakapokuja na kuizika katika bonde la Hamoni Gogu.
And those passing by have passed through the land, and seen a bone of man, and one hath constructed near it a sign till those burying have buried it in the valley of the multitude of Gog.
16 Kutakuwa na mji huko unaitwa Hamona. Wataitakasa nchi kwa njia hii.
And also the name of the city [is] The multitude; and they have cleansed the land.
17 Kwako wewe, mwanadamu, Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Waambie ndege wote wenye mabawa na wanyama wote wa porini katika mashamba, 'Kusanyikeni pamoja na mje. Kusanyikeni kutoka pande zote kwenda kwenye dhabihu yote ambayo mimi mwenyewe ninayoifanya kwa ajili yako, dhabihu kubwa juu ya milima ya Israeli, ili kwamba mle nyama na kunywa damu.
And thou, son of man, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Say to the bird — every wing, and to every beast of the field: Be assembled and come in, Be gathered from round about, For My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrifice on mountains of Israel, And ye have eaten flesh, and drunk blood.
18 Mtakula nyama ya walio hodari na kunywa damu ya wakuu wa dunia; watakuwa kondoo waume, wana kondoo, mbuzi, na ng'ombe, wote walikuwa wanene katika Basheni.
Flesh of the mighty ye do eat, And blood of princes of the earth ye drink, Of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, Of calves, fatlings of Bashan — all of them.
19 Kisha mtakula mafuta hata kuridhika kwenu; mtakunywa damu hadi kulewa; hii itakuwa dhabihu nitakayoichinja kwa ajili yenu.
And ye have eaten fat to satiety, And ye have drunk blood — to drunkenness, Of My sacrifice that I sacrificed for you.
20 Mtatosheka kwenye meza yangu pamoja na farasi, magari ya farasi, shujaa, na kila mtu wa vita-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.'
And ye have been satisfied at My table with horse and rider, Mighty man, and every man of war, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
21 Nitauweka utukufu wangu kati ya mataifa, na mataifa yote yataona hukumu yangu ninayoionyesha na mkono wangu nimeuweka juu yao.
And I have given My honour among nations, And seen have all the nations My Judgment that I have done, And My hand that I have laid on them.
22 Nyumba ya Israeli itajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe Mungu wao kutoka hiyo siku na kuendelea.
And known have the house of Israel that I [am] Jehovah their God, From that day and henceforth.
23 Mataifa yatajua kwamba nyumba ya Israeli wameenda uhamishoni kwa sababu ya udhalimu wao kwa kunisaliti, hivyo naficha uso wangu kwao na kuwaweka kwenye mkono wa maadui zao ili kwamba wote waanguke kwa upanga.
And known have the nations that for their iniquity, Removed have the house of Israel, Because they have trespassed against Me, And I do hide My face from them, And give them into the hand of their adversaries, And they fall by sword — all of them.
24 Nimewafanyia kutokana na uchafu wao na dhambi zao, nitakapokuwa nimeuficha uso wangu kwao.
According to their uncleanness, And according to their transgressions, I have done with them, And I do hide My face from them.
25 Kwa hiyo Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Sasa nitawarudisha watu wa Yakobo, na kuwa na huruma juu ya nyumba yote ya Israeli, wakati nitakapoona wivu kwa ajili ya jina langu.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Now do I bring back the captivity of Jacob, And I have pitied all the house of Israel, And have been zealous for My holy name.
26 Kisha watabeba aibu yao na uhaini mkubwa walio nihaini. Watayasahau haya yote watakapopumzika katika nchi yao katika usalama, wala hakuna mtu atakaye waogofya.
And they have forgotten their shame, And all their trespass that they trespassed against Me, In their dwelling on their land confidently and none troubling.
27 Wakati nitakapokuwa nimewarudisha kutoka kwa watu na kuwakusanya kutoka kwenye nchi za maadui zao, nitajionyesha mimi mwenyewe kuwa mtakatifu kwenye uso wa mataifa mengi.
In My bringing them back from the peoples, I have assembled them from the lands of their enemies, And I have been sanctified in them before the eyes of the many nations,
28 Kisha watajua kwamba mimi ni Yahwe Mungu wao, kwa kuwa nimewapeleka utumwani kati ya mataifa, lakini kisha nitawakusanya kuwarudisha hata nchi yao. Sitamuacha hata mmoja wao kati ya mataifa.
And they have known that I [am] Jehovah their God, In My removing them unto the nations, And I have gathered them unto their land, And I leave none of them any more there.
29 Sitawaficha uso wangu kwao wakati nitakapomwaga Roho wangu katika nyumba ya Israeli-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”
And I hide not any more My face from them, In that I have poured out My spirit on the house of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
