Ezekieli 11
1 Kisha Roho akaniacha juu na kunileta kwenye lango la mashariki la nyumba ya Yahwe, kuelekea mashariki, na tazama, kwenye njia ya mlango wa lango kulikuwa na watu ishirini na tano. Nikamwona Yaazania mwana wa Azuri na Pelatia mwana wa Benaya, viongozi wa watu, miongoni mwao.
And it lifted up me a spirit and it brought me to [the] gate of [the] house of Yahweh eastern which faces east-ward and there! [were] at [the] entrance of the gate twenty and five man and I saw in midst of them Jaazaniah [the] son of Azzur and Pelatiah [the] son of Benaiah [the] leaders of the people.
2 Mungu akanambia, “Mwana wa adamu, hawa ndio wale watu walioshauri udhalimu, na kuamua mipango miovu kwenye huu mji.
And he said to me O son of humankind these [are] the people who plan wickedness and who counsel counsel of evil in the city this.
3 Wakisema, 'Mda wa kujenga nyumba sio sasa; huu mji ni sufuria, na sisi ni nyama.'
Who say not [is] in [the] near [future] to build houses it [is] the pot and we [are] the meat.
4 Kwa hiyo tabiri juu yao. Tabiri, mwana wa adamu.”'
Therefore prophesy on them prophesy O son of humankind.
5 Kisha Roho wa Yahwe akanijaza na akaniambia, “akisema: Hivi ndivyo Yahwe asemavyo: kama usemavyo, nyumba ya Israeli; kwa kuwa najua kinachoendelea kwenye fikra zenu.
And it fell on me [the] spirit of Yahweh and he said to me say thus he says Yahweh thus you have said O house of Israel and [the] thoughts of spirit your I I know it.
6 Mmewazidisha watu mliowaua kwenye huu mji na kuijaza mitaa kwa hao.
You have multiplied slain [ones] your in the city this and you have filled streets its [the] slain.
7 Kwa hiyo, Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Wale watu milowaua, ambao mmeilaza miili yao kati ya Yerusalemu, ni nyama, na huu mji ni sufuria. Lakini mnaenda kutolewa nje kutoka kati ya huu mji.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh slain [ones] your which you have put in [the] midst of it they [are] the meat and it [is] the pot and you he will bring out from [the] midst of it.
8 Mmeuogopa upanga, kwa hiyo nauleta huo upanga juu yenu-huu ndio usemi wa Bwana Yahwe.
A sword you have feared and a sword I will bring on you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
9 Nitawatoa nje kutoka kati ya mji, na kuwaweka kwenye mikono ya wageni, kwa kuwa nitaleta hukumu dhidi yenu.
And I will bring out you from [the] midst of it and I will give you in [the] hand of strangers and I will bring about on you judgments.
10 Mtaanguka kwa upanga. Nitawahukumu kati ya mipaka ya Israeli hivyo mtajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe.
By the sword you will fall on [the] territory of Israel I will judge you and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
11 Huu mji hautakua sufuria yenu ya kupikia, wala hamtakuwa nyama ndani yake. Nitawahukumu kati ya mipaka ya Israeli.
It not it will become for you a pot and you you will become in [the] midst of it meat to [the] border of Israel I will judge you.
12 Kisha mtajua yakwamba mimi ni Yahwe, yule ambaye hamuishe kwenye amri zake na ambaye hamkuzishika sheria zake. Badala yake, mmebeba hukumu za mataifa wanayowazunguka.”
And you will know that I [am] Yahweh whom in statutes my not you have walked and judgments my not you have done and according to [the] judgments of the nations which [are] around you you have done.
13 Ikawa kwamba nilipokuwa natabiri, Pelatia mwana wa Benaya, akafa. Hivyo nikaanguka kwenye uso wangu na kulia kwa sauti na kusema, “Ee, Bwana Yahwe, Je utayaharibu kabisa mabaki ya Israeli?”
And it was when prophesied I and Pelatiah [the] son of Benaiah he died and I fell on face my and I cried out a voice great and I said alas! O Lord Yahweh complete destruction [are] you? making with [the] remnant of Israel.
14 Neno la Yahwe likanijia, likisema,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
15 “Mwana wa adamu, ndugu zako! Ndugu zako! Watu wa ukoo wako na nyumba yote ya Israeli! Wote hao ndio hao ambao inasemekana wale wanaoishi Yerusalemu, 'Wako mbali sana kutoka kwa Yahwe! Hii nchi tulipewa sisi kama milki yetu.'
O son of humankind brothers your brothers your [the] people of redemption your and all [the] house of Israel all of it whom they said to them [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem be distant from with Yahweh to us it it has been given the land to a possession.
16 Kwa hiyo sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: kote nimewapitisha mbali kati ya mataifa, na kote nimewasambaza kati ya nchi, bado nimekuwa patakatifu kwa ajili yao kwa mda kidogo kwenye nchi ambazo walizoenda.'
Therefore say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh that I have removed far away them among the nations and that I have scattered them among the lands and I have become for them a sanctuary a little in the lands where they have gone there.
17 Kwa hiyo sema, 'Bwana Yahwe asema hivi: Nitawakusanya kutoka kwa watu, na kuwakutanisha kutoka kwenye nchi mlizokuwa mmetawanyika, na nitawapatia nchi ya Israeli.'
Therefore say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will gather you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them and I will give to you [the] land of Israel.
18 Kisha wataenda huko na kuondoa kila kitu chenye karaha na kila chukizo kutoka hiyo sehemu.
And they will come there towards and they will remove all detestable things its and all abominations its from it.
19 Nitawapatia moyo mmoja, na nitaweka roho mpya kati yao. Nitaondoa moyo wa jiwe kutoka kwenye miili wao na kuwapatia moyo wa nyama,
And I will give to them a heart one and a spirit new I will put in inner being your and I will remove [the] heart of stone from flesh their and I will give to them a heart of flesh.
20 ili kwamba waweze kutembea kwenye amri zangu, watayachukua maagizo yangu na kuyatenda. Kisha watakuwa watu wangu, na nitakuwa Mungu wao.
So that in statutes my they may walk and judgments my they may keep and they will do them and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God.
21 Lakini kwa wale watembeao kwa kujifanya kuendeleza mambo yao ya karaha na machukizo yao, nitaleta tabia yao kwenye vichwa vyao-hivi ndivyo Bwana Yahwe asemavyo.”
And to [the] heart of detestable things their and abominations their heart their [is] going conduct their on own head their I will requite [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
22 Makerubi wakainua mabawa yao na magurudumu yaliyokuwa karibu nao, na utukufu wa Mungu wa Israeli ulikuwa juu yao.
And they lifted up the cherubim wings their and the wheels [were] close by them and [the] glory of [the] God of Israel [was] above them from to above.
23 Kisha utukufu wa Yahwe ukaenda juu kutoka katikati ya mji na kusimama kwenye mlima hata mashariki mwa mji.
And it went up [the] glory of Yahweh from over [the] middle of the city and it stood still over the mountain which [was] from [the] east of the city.
24 Roho akanichukua juu na kunileta hata Ukaldayo, hata uhamishoni, katika maono kutoka kwa Roho wa Mungu, na maono niliyokuwa nimeyaona yakaenda juu yakaniacha.
And a spirit it lifted up me and it brought me Chaldea towards to the exile[s] in the vision by [the] spirit of God and it went up from on me the vision which I had seen.
25 Kisha nikawaambia wale watumwa mambo yote ya Yahwe niliyokuwa nimeyaona.
And I spoke to the exile[s] all [the] words of Yahweh which he had shown me.
