Na wewe, mwanadamu, tabiri juu ya Gogu, useme, Bwana MUNGU asema hivi, Tazama,
“As for you, O son of man, prophesy against Gog and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
2
nami nitakugeuza na kukuongoza, nami nitakupandisha toka pande za mwisho za
I will turn you around, drive you along, bring you up from the far north, and send you against the mountains of Israel.
3
nami nitaupiga upinde wako, utoke katika mkono wako wa kushoto, na mishale yako
Then I will strike the bow from your left hand and dash down the arrows from your right hand.
4
Utaanguka juu ya milima ya Israeli, wewe, na vikosi vyako vyote, na watu wa
On the mountains of Israel you will fall—you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to every kind of ravenous bird and wild beast.
5
Utaanguka katika uwanda; kwa maana mimi nimenena neno hili, asema Bwana MUNGU.
You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.
6
Nami nitapeleka moto juu ya Magogu; na juu ya watu wote wakaao salama katika
I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD.
7
Na jina langu takatifu nitalifanya kuwa limejulika kati ya watu wangu Israeli;
So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8
Tazama, linakuja, nalo litatendeka, asema Bwana MUNGU; hii ndiyo siku ile
Yes, it is coming, and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD. This is the day of which I have spoken.
9
Hao wakaao katika miji ya Israeli watatoka, nao watafanya mioto kwa silaha za
Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, kindle fires, and burn up the weapons—the bucklers and shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.
10
hata hawataokota kuni mashambani, wala hawatakata kuni msituni; maana watafanya
They will not gather wood from the countryside or cut it from the forests, for they will use the weapons for fuel. They will loot those who looted them and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord GOD.
11
Tena, itakuwa katika siku hiyo, nitampa Gogu pa kuzikia katika Israeli, bonde la
And on that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the Sea. It will block those who travel through, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog.
12
Na kwa muda wa miezi saba nyumba ya Israeli watakuwa wakiwazika, wapate
For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.
13
Naam, watu wote wa nchi hiyo watawazika; itakuwa ni sifa kwao katika siku ile
All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day I display My glory, declares the Lord GOD.
14
Nao watawachagua watu wa kufanya kazi ya daima, watakaopita kati ya nchi, ili
And men will be employed to continually pass through the land to cleanse it by burying the invaders who remain on the ground. At the end of the seven months they will begin their search.
15
Na hao wapitao kati ya nchi watatafuta; na mtu ye yote aonapo mfupa wa mtu,
As they pass through the land, anyone who sees a human bone will set up a pillar next to it, until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog.
16
Tena, Hamona litakuwa jina la mji. Hivyo ndivyo watakavyosafisha nchi.
(Even the city will be named Hamonah.) And so they will cleanse the land.
17
Na wewe, mwanadamu, Bwana MUNGU asema hivi; Sema na ndege wa kila namna, na kila
And as for you, son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: Call out to every kind of bird and to every beast of the field: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great feast on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood.
18
Mtakula nyama yao walio hodari, na kunywa damu ya wakuu wa dunia, ya kondoo
You will eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all the fattened animals of Bashan.
19
Nanyi mtakula mafuta na kushiba, mtakunywa damu na kulewa, na sadaka yangu
At the sacrifice I am preparing, you will eat fat until you are gorged and drink blood until you are drunk.
20
Nanyi mtashibishwa mezani pangu kwa farasi, na magari ya vita, na mashujaa, na
And at My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and warriors of every kind,’ declares the Lord GOD.
21
Nami nitauweka utukufu wangu kati ya mataifa, na mataifa wote wataiona hukumu
I will display My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I execute and the hand that I lay upon them.
22
Basi, nyumba ya Israeli watajua ya kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wao, tangu siku
From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.
23
Nao mataifa watajua ya kuwa nyumba ya Israeli walihamishwa, na kwenda kifungoni,
And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I hid My face from them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword.
24
Kwa kadiri ya uchafu wao, kwa kadiri ya makosa yao, ndivyo nilivyowatenda, nami
I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and transgressions, and I hid My face from them.
25
Kwa sababu hiyo, Bwana MUNGU asema hivi, Sasa nitawarejeza watu wa Yakobo
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Now I will restore Jacob from captivity and will have compassion on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for My holy name.
26
Nao watachukua aibu yao, na makosa yao yote waliyoniasi, watakapokaa salama
They will forget their disgrace and all the treachery they committed against Me, when they dwell securely in their land, with no one to frighten them.
27
nitakapokuwa nimewaleta tena kutoka kabila za watu, na kuwakusanya kwa kuwatoa
When I bring them back from the peoples and gather them out of the lands of their enemies, I will show My holiness in them in the sight of many nations.
28
Nao watajua ya kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wao, kwa kuwa naliwahamisha, waende
Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, when I regather them to their own land, not leaving any of them behind after their exile among the nations.
29
wala sitawaficha uso wangu tena; kwa maana nimemwaga roho yangu juu ya nyumba ya
And I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD.”
