Ezekiel 7
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]
Neno la Bwana likanijia kusema:
2 “You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to [the people] [MTY] of Israel: All of Israel will soon be destroyed.
“Mwanadamu, hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo kwa nchi ya Israeli: Mwisho! Mwisho umekuja juu ya pembe nne za nchi.
3 [people of Israel], the end has come. I will punish you severely. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done, and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
Sasa mwisho umekuja juu yenu nami nitamwaga hasira yangu dhidi yenu. Nitawahukumu sawasawa na matendo yenu na kuwalipiza kwa ajili ya desturi zenu zote za kuchukiza.
4 I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will [surely] punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have done it].”
Sitawaonea huruma wala sitawarehemu, hakika nitalipiza kwa ajili ya matendo yenu na desturi zenu za machukizo miongoni mwenu. Ndipo mtakapojua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana.
5 This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “You will soon experience many terrible disasters!
“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenyezi asemalo: Maafa! Maafa ambayo hayajasikiwa yanakuja.
6 This will be the [of Israel]; your country will be finished! And your [lives] will be ended [PRS]!
Mwisho umewadia! Mwisho umewadia! Umejiinua wenyewe dhidi yenu. Umewadia!
7 It will be the end of you people who live in the [of Israel]. The time has come; the [when you will be destroyed] is near. At that time [the people who worship idols] on the mountains will not be happy; they will panic.
Maangamizi yamekuja juu yenu, ninyi mnaoishi katika nchi. Wakati umewadia, siku imekaribia, kuna hofu kuu ya ghafula, wala si furaha, juu ya milima.
8 I am very angry with you and am about to pour out my punishment [MTY] on you. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
Ninakaribia kumwaga ghadhabu yangu juu yenu na kumaliza hasira yangu dhidi yenu, nitawahukumu sawasawa na matendo yenu na kuwalipiza kwa ajili ya desturi zenu zote za machukizo.
9 I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will surely punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have punished you.
Sitawaonea huruma wala sitawarehemu; nitawalipiza sawasawa na matendo yenu na desturi zenu za machukizo miongoni mwenu. Ndipo mtajua kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana ambaye huwapiga kwa mapigo.
10 The [of your punishment] is here! It has arrived! Disasters have come.
“Siku imefika! Imewadia! Maangamizi yamezuka ghafula, fimbo imechanua majivuno yamechipua!
11 People are acting violently and doing more wicked things. And nothing that belongs to those people will be left, none of their money, nothing that is valuable.
Jeuri imeinuka kuwa fimbo ya kuadhibu uovu, hakuna hata mmoja wa hao watu atakayeachwa, hata mmoja wa kundi lile, hakuna utajiri, hakuna chenye thamani.
12 Now is the time; that day has arrived.
Wakati umewadia, siku imefika. Mnunuzi na asifurahi wala muuzaji asihuzunike, kwa maana ghadhabu iko juu ya kundi lote.
13 People who buy things should not [because of buying things very cheaply], and those who sell things should not be [because they had to sell things cheaply], [Yahweh] will be punishing [MTY] everyone. During the rest of their lives, people who sell some of their property will never be able to buy it back, because I, Yahweh, will never change my mind about what I have declared; because of your sins, [I will destroy] all of you people.
Muuzaji hatajipatia tena ardhi aliyoiuza wakati wote wawili wangali hai, kwa kuwa maono kuhusu kundi lote hayatatanguka. Kwa sababu ya dhambi zao, hakuna hata mmoja atakayeokoa maisha yake.
14 Even though [soldiers] blow [to prepare for] a battle, no soldier will go into a battle, because I will have killed all of them.
Wajapopiga tarumbeta na kuweka kila kitu tayari, hakuna hata mmoja atakayekwenda vitani, kwa maana ghadhabu yangu iko juu ya kundi lote.
15 [When those things happen, your enemies] will be [the city] with their swords, and there will be plagues and famines [the city]. [who flee from the city] into the countryside will be killed [their enemies’] swords, and those who stay in the city will die from famines and plagues.
“Nje ni upanga, ndani ni tauni na njaa, wale walioko shambani watakufa kwa upanga, nao wale waliomo mjini njaa na tauni vitawala.
16 Those who survive and escape will flee to the mountains, and they all will moan like doves because of their sins.
Wale wote watakaopona na kutoroka watakuwa milimani, wakiomboleza kama hua wa mabondeni, kila mmoja kwa sababu ya dhambi zake.
17 [Because everyone will be very afraid, ] all the people’s hands will become limp and their knees will become very weak.
Kila mkono utalegea na kila goti litakuwa dhaifu kama maji.
18 They will put on clothes made from rough cloth, and they will be terrified. Their faces will show that they are ashamed, and they will shave their [to show that they are very sad].
Watavaa nguo ya gunia na kufunikwa na hofu. Nyuso zao zitafunikwa na aibu na nywele za vichwa vyao zitanyolewa.
19 They will throw their silver into the streets, and consider that their gold is only like [SIM] garbage, because they will realize that their silver and gold will not be able to rescue them when I, Yahweh, punish them. They will not be able to use their gold and silver to buy things to fill their stomachs, because having a lot of gold and silver has led them to sin.
Watatupa fedha yao barabarani, nayo dhahabu yao itakuwa najisi. Fedha yao na dhahabu yao havitaweza kuwaokoa katika siku hiyo ya ghadhabu ya Bwana. Hawatashibisha njaa yao au kujaza matumbo yao kwa hiyo fedha wala dhahabu, kwa sababu imewaponza wajikwae dhambini.
20 They were proud of their beautiful jewelry, and they used it to make their detestable idols and disgusting [of their gods]. So I will cause them to be disgusted with those things.
Walijivunia vito vyao vizuri na kuvitumia kufanya sanamu za machukizo na vinyago vya upotovu. Kwa hiyo nitavifanya vitu hivyo kuwa najisi kwao.
21 I will give their silver and gold to foreigners who invade your country and take away your valuable treasures. I will give those things to wicked people, and they will do disgraceful things to those treasures that I give them.
Nitavitia vyote mikononi mwa wageni kuwa nyara na kuwa vitu vilivyotekwa mikononi mwa watu waovu wa dunia, nao watavinajisi.
22 I will not (interfere with/stop) [IDM] robbers when they enter my sacred temple and desecrate it.
Nitageuza uso wangu mbali nao, nao waovu wa dunia watapanajisi mahali pangu pa thamani, wanyangʼanyi watapaingia na kupanajisi.
23 Prepare chains to be fastened on you. People are being murdered [MTY] throughout the country, and people are acting violently throughout the city.
“Andaa minyororo, kwa sababu nchi imejaa umwagaji wa damu na mji umejaa udhalimu.
24 So I will bring armies of the nations whose people are extremely wicked to occupy the houses of the Israeli people. I will cause Israeli [who think that they] are [IRO] strong/mighty to no longer be proud. Your enemies will cause your places of worship to no longer be acceptable to be used.
Nitaleta taifa ovu kuliko yote ili kumiliki nyumba zao, nitakomesha kiburi cha wenye nguvu na mahali pao patakatifu patatiwa unajisi.
25 When your enemies cause you to be terrified, you will plead for them to make peace, but there will be no peace.
Hofu ya ghafula itakapokuja, watatafuta amani, lakini haitakuwepo.
26 You will experience many disasters, and you will continually hear [about disasters that are happening in other places]. People will plead with prophets to tell them what visions they have received, [but the prophets will not have received any visions]. Priests will no longer teach people the [that I gave to Moses].
Maafa juu ya maafa yatakuja, tetesi ya mabaya juu ya tetesi ya mabaya. Watajitahidi kupata maono kutoka kwa nabii, mafundisho ya sheria toka kwa kuhani yatapotea, vivyo hivyo shauri kutoka kwa wazee.
27 Your king will mourn, and his son will no [longer] [that good things will happen]. The hands of people throughout the country will tremble. And I will do to them what they deserve for their wicked behavior. I will [and condemn] them the same way they have [and condemned] others. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
Mfalme ataomboleza, mwana wa mfalme atavikwa kukata tamaa, nayo mikono ya watu wa nchi itatetemeka. Nitawashughulikia sawasawa na matendo yao na kwa kanuni zao wenyewe nitawahukumu. Ndipo watajua kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana.”
