< Ezekieli 9 >
1 Kisha akalia kwa sauti kubwa nikasikia kwenye masikio yangu, huku akisema, “Waache walinzi waje kwenye mji, kila mmoja na silaha yake ya uharibifu kwenye mkono wake.”
καὶ ἀνέκραγεν εἰς τὰ ὦτά μου φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγων ἤγγικεν ἡ ἐκδίκησις τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἕκαστος εἶχεν τὰ σκεύη τῆς ἐξολεθρεύσεως ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ
2 Kisha tazama! watu wanne watakuja kutokea njia ya lango la juu linaloelekea kaskazini, kila mmoja na silaha yake ya kuchinjia kwenye mkono wake. Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja miongoni mwao alikuwa amevaa nguo ya kitani pamoja na kifaa cha uandishi ubavuni mwake. Hivyo waliingia na kusimama karibu na madhabahu ya shaba.
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἓξ ἄνδρες ἤρχοντο ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς πύλης τῆς ὑψηλῆς τῆς βλεπούσης πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ ἑκάστου πέλυξ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἷς ἀνὴρ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἐνδεδυκὼς ποδήρη καὶ ζώνη σαπφείρου ἐπὶ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσήλθοσαν καὶ ἔστησαν ἐχόμενοι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ χαλκοῦ
3 Kisha utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeli ukapanda juu kutoka kwa kerubi ambapo ilikuwa kwenye kisingiti cha nyumba. Akamwita yule mtu aliyekuwa amevaa nguo ya kitani na kifaa cha uandishi ubavuni mwake.
καὶ δόξα θεοῦ τοῦ Ισραηλ ἀνέβη ἀπὸ τῶν χερουβιν ἡ οὖσα ἐπ’ αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ αἴθριον τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν ἐνδεδυκότα τὸν ποδήρη ὃς εἶχεν ἐπὶ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ τὴν ζώνην
4 Yahwe akamwambia, “Pita kati ya mji-kati ya Yerusalemu-na weka alama katika vipaji vya uso vya wale waliolemewa na kuona kuhusu machukizo yote yanafanyika kati ya mji.”
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν δίελθε μέσην τὴν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ δὸς τὸ σημεῖον ἐπὶ τὰ μέτωπα τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν καταστεναζόντων καὶ τῶν κατωδυνωμένων ἐπὶ πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις ταῖς γινομέναις ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς
5 Kisha akaongea na wengine kupitia kusikia kwangu, “Pita kwenye mji baada ya yeye na kuua. Msiache macho yenu yawe na huruma, na msiogope kuharibu
καὶ τούτοις εἶπεν ἀκούοντός μου πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ κόπτετε καὶ μὴ φείδεσθε τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν καὶ μὴ ἐλεήσητε
6 iwe mzee, kijana, msichana, mtoto mdogo au wanawake. Waueni watu wote! Lakini msimkaribie mtu yeyote ambaye mwenye alama kwenye kichwa chake. Anzeni katika patakatifu pangu!” Hivyo wakaanza na wazee waliokuwa mbele ya nyumba.
πρεσβύτερον καὶ νεανίσκον καὶ παρθένον καὶ νήπια καὶ γυναῖκας ἀποκτείνατε εἰς ἐξάλειψιν ἐπὶ δὲ πάντας ἐφ’ οὕς ἐστιν τὸ σημεῖον μὴ ἐγγίσητε καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μου ἄρξασθε καὶ ἤρξαντο ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων οἳ ἦσαν ἔσω ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ
7 Akawaambia, “Najisi nyumba, na kujaza zio zake kwa waliokufa. Endeleeni!” Hivyo wakaenda na kuushambulia mji.
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς μιάνατε τὸν οἶκον καὶ πλήσατε τὰς ὁδοὺς νεκρῶν ἐκπορευόμενοι καὶ κόπτετε
8 Walipokuwa wakiushambulia, nikajikuta mwenyewe na nikaangukia kwenye uso wangu na kulia kwa sauti na kusema, “Ee, Bwana Yahwe, utayaharibu mabaki yote ya Israeli wakati wa kumwaga ghadhabu yao juu ya Yerusalemu?”
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ κόπτειν αὐτοὺς καὶ πίπτω ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου καὶ ἀνεβόησα καὶ εἶπα οἴμμοι κύριε ἐξαλείφεις σὺ τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ἐκχέαι σε τὸν θυμόν σου ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ
9 Akanambia, “Uovu wa nyumba ya Israeli na Yuda unaongezeka sana. Nchi imejaa damu na mji umejaa upotovu, tangu waliposema, 'Yahwe ameisahau nchi; na Yahwe haoni!'
καὶ εἶπεν πρός με ἀδικία τοῦ οἴκου Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδα μεμεγάλυνται σφόδρα σφόδρα ὅτι ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ λαῶν πολλῶν καὶ ἡ πόλις ἐπλήσθη ἀδικίας καὶ ἀκαθαρσίας ὅτι εἶπαν ἐγκαταλέλοιπεν κύριος τὴν γῆν οὐκ ἐφορᾷ ὁ κύριος
10 Hivyo kisha, macho yangu hataangalia kwa huruma, na sintoacha kuwaharibu. Badala yake nitaileta juu ya vichwa vyao.”
καὶ οὐ φείσεταί μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός οὐδὲ μὴ ἐλεήσω τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν εἰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν δέδωκα
11 Tazama! yule mtu aliyekuwa amevaa nguo ya kitani aliyekuwa na kifaa cha uandishi kwa uapende wa ubavuni mwake. Alitoa taarifa na kusema, “Nimemaliza yale yote uliyoniamuru.”
καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ἐνδεδυκὼς τὸν ποδήρη καὶ ἐζωσμένος τῇ ζώνῃ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπεκρίνατο λέγων πεποίηκα καθὼς ἐνετείλω μοι
