1 Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
Habari za Moabu. Bwana wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, Ole wake Nebo! Kwa maana umeharibika; Kiriathaimu umeaibishwa, umetwaliwa; Misgabu umeaibishwa, nao umebomolewa.
2 There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
Sifa za Moabu haziko tena; katika Heshboni wameazimia mabaya juu yake, Haya! Njoni, na tumkatilie mbali asiwe taifa. Wewe nawe, Ee Madmena, utanyamazishwa; upanga utakufuatia.
3 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
Sauti ya kilio toka Horonaimu, Ya kutekwa na uharibifu mkuu.
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
Moabu umeharibika; Wadogo wake wamewasikiza watu kilio.
5 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
Kwa maana watu wapandapo huko Luhithi Watapanda wasiache kulia; Nao watu watelemkapo huko Horonaimu Wameisikia huzuni ya kilio cha uharibifu.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
Haya! Kimbieni! Jiokoeni nafsi zenu! Mkawe kama mtu aliye mkiwa.
7 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.
Maana, kwa kuwa umeyatumainia matendo yako, na hazina zako, wewe nawe utatwaliwa; na Kemoshi atatoka aende katika uhamisho, makuhani wake na wakuu wake pamoja.
8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
Naye mwenye kuteka nyara atakuja juu ya kila mji, wala hapana mji utakaookoka; bonde nalo litaangamia, nayo nchi tambarare itaharibiwa; kama Bwana alivyosema.
9 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
Mpe Moabu mabawa, apate kuruka na kwenda zake; na miji yake itakuwa ukiwa, isiwe na mtu wa kukaa ndani yake.
10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
Na alaaniwe mtu afanyaye kazi ya Bwana kwa ulegevu; na alaaniwe auzuiaye upanga wake usimwage damu.
11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
Moabu amestarehe tangu ujana wake, naye ametulia juu ya sira zake, wala hakumiminwa kutoka chombo kimoja kutiwa chombo kingine, wala hakwenda kufungwa; kwa hiyo ladha yake anakaa nayo, wala harufu yake haikubadilika.
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
Basi, tazama, siku zinakuja, asema Bwana, ambazo nitampelekea wamiminao, nao watammimina, nao watamwaga vyote vilivyomo vyomboni mwake, na kuzivunja chupa zake vipande vipande.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
Na Moabu ataona haya kwa ajili ya Kemoshi, kama nyumba ya Israeli ilivyoona haya kwa ajili ya Betheli, matumaini yao.
14 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
Mwasemaje ninyi, Sisi tu mashujaa, watu hodari wa vita.
15 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
Moabu ameharibika, na moshi wa miji yake umepanda; na vijana wake wateule wametelemka kwenda kuchinjwa, asema Mfalme, ambaye jina lake ni Bwana wa majeshi.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
Msiba wa Moabu umefika karibu, Na mateso yake yanafanya haraka.
17 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!
Ninyi nyote mnaomzunguka, mlilieni, Nanyi nyote mlijuao jina lake, semeni, Jinsi ilivyovunjika fimbo ya enzi, Fimbo ile iliyokuwa nzuri!
18 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.
Ee binti ukaaye Diboni, Shuka toka utukufu wako, ukae katika kiu; Maana atekaye Moabu amepanda juu yako, Ameziharibu ngome zako.
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?
Wewe ukaaye Aroeri, Simama kando ya njia upeleleze; Mwulize mwanamume akimbiaye na mwanamke atorokaye, Sema, Imetendeka nini?
20 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
Moabu ameaibishwa, kwa maana amevunjika; Pigeni yowe na kulia; Tangazeni habari hii katika Arnoni, Ya kuwa Moabu ameharibika.
21 and judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
Na hukumu imeifikilia nchi tambarare; juu ya Holoni, na juu ya Yasa, na juu ya Mefaathi;
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,
na juu ya Diboni, na juu ya Nebo, na juu ya Beth-diblathaimu;
23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
na juu ya Kiriathaimu, na juu ya Beth-gamuli, na juu ya Beth-meoni;
24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
na juu ya Keriothi, na juu ya Bozra, na juu ya miji yote ya nchi ya Moabu, iliyo mbali na iliyo karibu.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.
Pembe ya Moabu imekatika, na mkono wake umevunjika, asema Bwana. Mlevyeni; kwa maana alijitukuza juu ya Bwana
26 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
na Moabu atagaa-gaa katika matapiko yake, naye atadhihakiwa. Kwa maana Israeli, je! Hakuwa dhihaka kwako?
27 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
Alionekana kati ya wevi? Maana kila umtajapo watikisa kichwa chako.
28 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
Enyi mkaao Moabu, iacheni miji, Enendeni kukaa majabalini; Mkawe kama njiwa afanyaye kioto chake Katika ubavu wa mdomo wa shimo.
29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
Tumesikia habari za kiburi cha Moabu; Ya kuwa ana kiburi kingi; Jeuri yake, na kiburi chake, na majivuno yake, Na jinsi alivyotakabari moyoni mwake.
30 I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it .
Najua ghadhabu yake, asema Bwana, ya kuwa si kitu; majisifu yake hayakutenda neno lo lote.
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kir-heres.
Kwa sababu hiyo nitampigia yowe Moabu, naam, nitapiga kelele kwa ajili ya Moabu yote; nitawaombolezea watu wa Kir-heresi.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
Nitakulilia, Ee mzabibu wa Sibma, kwa vilio vipitavyo vilio vya Yazeri; matawi yako yalipita juu ya bahari, yalifika hata bahari ya Yazeri; atekaye nyara ameyaangukia matunda yako ya wakati wa jua, na mavuno yako ya zabibu.
33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.
Furaha na shangwe zimeondoshwa, katika shamba lizaalo sana, na katika nchi ya Moabu; nami nimeikomesha divai katika mashinikizo; hapana mtu atakayekanyaga zabibu kwa shangwe; shangwe ile itakuwa si shangwe.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
Toka kilio cha Heshboni mpaka Eleale, naam, mpaka Yahasa, wametoa sauti zao, toka Soari mpaka Horonaimu, hata Eglath-shelishia; maana maji ya Nimrimu nayo yatakuwa ukiwa.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
Pamoja na hayo, asema Bwana, nitamkomesha katika Moabu mtu atoaye sadaka katika mahali pa juu, naye awafukiziaye uvumba miungu yake.
36 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.
Kwa sababu hiyo moyo wangu watoa sauti kama filimbi kwa ajili ya Moabu, na kwa ajili ya watu wa Kir-heresi, moyo wangu watoa sauti kama filimbi; kwa kuwa wingi aliojipatia umepotea.
37 For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
Maana kila kichwa kina upaa, na ndevu zote zimenyolewa; mikono yote ina alama za chale, na viuno vyote vimevikwa nguo za magunia.
38 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.
Juu ya dari zote za nyumba za Moabu, na katika njia kuu zake, pana maombolezo, kila mahali; kwa maana nimevunja Moabu kama chombo kisichopendeza, asema Bwana.
39 They shall howl, saying , How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
Jinsi alivyovunjika! Pigeni yowe! Jinsi Moabu alivyogeuza kisogo kwa haya! Hivyo ndivyo Moabu atakavyokuwa dhihaka, na sababu ya kuwashangaza watu wote wamzungukao.
40 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
Maana Bwana asema hivi, Tazama, ataruka kama tai, na kutandaza mabawa yake juu ya Moabu.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Miji imetwaliwa, ngome zimeshambuliwa, na mioyo ya mashujaa wa Moabu siku hiyo itakuwa kama moyo wa mwanamke katika utungu wake.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.
Na Moabu ataangamizwa, asiwe taifa tena, kwa sababu alijitukuza juu ya Bwana.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.
Hofu, na shimo, na mtego, zaja juu yako, Ee mwenyeji wa Moabu, asema Bwana.
44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
Aikimbiaye hofu ataanguka shimoni; na yeye atokaye shimoni atanaswa kwa mtego; maana nitaleta juu yake, yaani, juu ya Moabu, mwaka wa kujiliwa kwake, asema Bwana.
45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
Wamekimbia, wasio na nguvu Wanasimama chini ya kivuli cha Heshboni; Ila moto umetoka katika Heshboni, Na mwali wa moto toka kati ya Sihoni Nao umekula pembe ya Moabu, Na utosi wa kichwa wa watu wapigao kelele.
46 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
Ole wako! Ee Moabu, Watu wa Kemoshi wamepotea; Maana wana wako wamechukuliwa mateka, Na binti zako wamekwenda utumwani.
47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
Lakini nitawarudisha watu wa Moabu walio utumwani, siku za mwisho, asema Bwana. Hukumu ya Moabu imefikilia hapa.
