Ezekieli 11

1 Pamenepo Mzimu wa Mulungu unandinyamula ndi kubwera nane ku chipata cha kummawa cha Nyumba ya Yehova. Kumeneko pa khomo la chipata panali anthu 25, ndipo ndinaona pakati pawo atsogoleri awa: Yaazaniya mwana wa Azuri ndi Pelatiya mwana wa Benaya.

Moreover, the Spirite lift me vp, and brought me vnto the East gate of the Lordes house, which lyeth Eastwarde, and beholde, at the entrie of the gate were fiue and twentie men: among whome I sawe Iaazaniah the sonne of Azur, and Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah, the princes of the people.

2 Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, awa ndi anthu amene akukonza zoyipa ndi kupereka malangizo oyipa mu mzindamo.

Then said he vnto me, Sonne of man, these are the men that imagine mischiefe, and deuise wicked counsell in this citie.

3 Iwo amawuza anthu kuti, ‘Nthawi sinafike yoti timange Nyumba? Mzindawu uli ngati mʼphika umene uli pa moto ndipo ife tili ngati nyama mu mʼphikamo.

For they say, It is not neere, let vs builde houses: this citie is the caldron, and wee be the flesh.

4 Choncho iwe mwana wa munthu, unenere mowadzudzula. Nenera ndithu.’”

Therefore prophesie against them, sonne of man, prophesie.

5 Ndipo Mzimu wa Yehova unandigwera ndipo unandiwuza kuti, “Unene kuti zimene akunena Yehova ndi izi. Iye akuti. ‘Izi ndi zimene mukunena, Inu Aisraeli, koma Ine ndikudziwa zimene zili mu mtima mwanu.’

And the Spirite of the Lord fell vpon me, and said vnto me, Speake, Thus saith the Lord, O ye house of Israel, this haue ye said, and I know that which riseth vp of your mindes.

6 Mwapha anthu ambiri mu mzinda muno ndipo mwadzaza misewu yake ndi mitembo.

Many haue ye murthered in this citie, and ye haue filled the streets thereof with the slaine.

7 “Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Mitembo imene mwayiponya mʼmisewuyo ndiyo nyama ndipo mzinda uno ndiwo mʼphika, koma Ine ndidzakuthamangitsanimo.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, They that ye haue slaine, and haue layed in the middes of it, they are the flesh, and this citie is the caldron, but I wil bring you foorth of the mids of it.

8 Inu mumaopa lupanga, koma lupangalo ndi limene ndidzakubweretsereni, akutero Ambuye.

Ye haue feared the sworde, and I wil bring a sworde vpon you, saith the Lord God.

9 Ine ndidzakuthamangitsani mu mzinda ndipo ndidzakuperekani mʼdzanja la alendo kuti akulangeni.

And I will bring you out of the middes thereof, and deliuer you into the hands of strangers, and will execute iudgements among you.

10 Mudzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo ndidzakulangani mpaka kumalire a Israeli. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.

Ye shall fall by the sworde, and I wil iudge you in the border of Israel, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.

11 Mzinda uno sudzakhala ngati mʼphika wokutetezani ndipo simudzakhalanso ngati nyama ya mʼmenemo. Ndidzakulangani mpaka kumalire a Israeli.

This citie shall not be your caldron, neyther shall ye be the flesh in the middes thereof, but I will iudge you in the border of Israel.

12 Ndipo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova. Inu simunatsatire malangizo anga kapena kusunga malamulo anga koma mwakhala mukutsata zochita za mitundu ina ya anthu imene yakuzungulirani.’”

And ye shall knowe that I am the Lord: for ye haue not walked in my statutes, neither executed my iudgements, but haue done after the maners of the heathen, that are round about you.

13 Tsono pamene ndinkanenera, Pelatiya mwana wa Benaya anafa. Pomwepo ndinadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba ndipo ndinafuwula ndi mawu aakulu kuti “Mayo, Ambuye Yehova! Kodi mudzawatheratu Aisraeli onse otsala?”

And when I prophesied, Pelatiah the sonne of Benaiah dyed: then fell I downe vpon my face, and cryed with a loude voyce, and saide, Ah Lord God, wilt thou then vtterly destroy all the remnant of Israel?

14 Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,

Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

15 “Anthu okhala ku Yerusalemu akuwanena abale ako, anthu a ku ukapolo, onse a banja la Israeli, kuti, ‘Anthu onse amene anatengedwa ukapolo ali kutali ndi Yehova. Dziko lanu Yehova anatipatsa kuti likhale lathulathu.’”

Sonne of man, thy brethren, euen thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, wholy are they vnto whome the inhabitants of Ierusalem haue said, Depart ye farre from the Lord: for the lande is giuen vs in possession.

16 “Nʼchifukwa chake nena kwa anzako a ku ukapolo kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Ine ndinawatumiza kutali pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Ndinawabalalitsa ku mayiko ambiri. Komabe ndakhala ndikuwasunga ku mayiko kumene anapitako!’

Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, Although I haue cast them farre off among the heathen, and although I haue scattered them among the countreis, yet wil I be to them as a litle Sanctuarie in ye countreis where they shall come.

17 “Nʼchifukwa chake uwawuze zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena kuti, Ndidzawasonkhanitsa kuchokera kwa anthu a mitundu inayo ndi kuwasonkhanitsira pamodzi kuchokera ku mayiko kumene ndinawabalalitsirako. Pambuyo pake ndidzawapatsa dziko la Israeli.

Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God, I will gather you againe from the people, and assemble you out of the countreis where ye haue bene scattered, and I will giue you ye land of Israel.

18 “Akadzalowa mʼdzikomo adzachotsa mafano awo onse oyipa ndi onyansa.

And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the idoles thereof, and all the abominations thereof from thence.

19 Ndidzawapatsa mtima watsopano ndipo ndidzayika mzimu watsopano mwa iwo. Ndidzachotsa mtima wowuma ngati mwala mwa iwo, ndipo ndidzawapatsa mtima wofewa ngati mnofu.

And I will giue them one heart, and I will put a newe spirit within their bowels: and I will take the stonie heart out of their bodies, and will giue them an heart of flesh,

20 Motero adzatsata malamulo anga ndipo adzasunga mosamala malamulo anga. Adzakhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo.

That they may walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements, and execute them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

21 Koma kunena za amene akupembedza mafano oyipa ndi onyansa, ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha zimene achita. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”

But vpon them, whose heart is towarde their idoles, and whose affection goeth after their abominations, I will lay their way vpon their owne heades, saith the Lord God.

22 Tsono akerubi aja anatambasula mapiko awo kuyamba kuwuluka, mikombero ili mʼmbali mwawo. Ulemerero wa Mulungu wa Israeli unali pamwamba pawo.

Then did the Cherubims lift vp their wings, and the wheeles besides them, and the glorie of the God of Israel was vpon them on hie.

23 Ulemerero wa Yehova unakwera ndi kusiya mzindawo ndipo unakayima pa phiri cha kummawa kwake kwa mzindawo.

And the glorie of the Lord went vp from the middes of the citie, and stoode vpon the moutaine which is towarde the East side of the citie.

24 Pambuyo pake Mzimu wa Mulungu unandinyamula ndi kukandifikitsa. Zimenezi zinkachitika mʼmasomphenya monga mmene Mzimu wa Mulungu unkandionetsera. Kenaka masomphenya amene ndinkawaonawo anayamba kuzimirira.

Afterwarde the Spirite tooke me vp, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Caldea to them that were led away captiues: so the vision that I had seene, went vp from me.

25 Ndipo ndinafotokozera akapolowo zonse zimene Yehova anandionetsa.

Then I declared vnto them that were led away captiues, all the things that the Lord had shewed me.
