Ezekieli 12
1 Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
The word of the LORD also came to me, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, ukukhala pakati pa anthu owukira, iwowo maso openyera ali nawo, koma sakuona ndipo makutu omvera ali nawo, koma sakumva chifukwa choti ndi anthu owukira.
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
3 “Choncho, iwe mwana wa munthu, longedza katundu wako wopita naye ku ukapolo. Unyamuke nthawi yamasana iwo akuona. Uchite ngati wanyamuka kuchoka kumene ukukhala kupita ku dziko lachilendo iwowo akuona. Mwina adzamvetsetsa, paja ndi anthu aupandu.
Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee thy baggage for captivity, and move by day in their sight; and thou shalt move from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
4 Utulutse katundu wako wopita naye ku ukapolo nthawi ya masana iwo akuona. Ndipo nthawi ya madzulo, iwo akuona, uchoke monga ngati ukupita ku ukapolo.
Then shalt thou bring forth thy baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for captivity: and thou shalt go forth at evening in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
5 Iwo akuona, ubowole pa khoma ndipo utulutsirepo katundu wako.
Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry them out through it.
6 Usenze katundu wako pa phewa iwo akuona, ndipo upite kunja ku mdima. Uphimbe nkhope yako kuti usaone pansi, pakuti ndakusandutsa iwe chizindikiro chochenjeza Aisraeli.”
In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou mayest not see the ground: for I have set thee for a sign to the house of Israel.
7 Choncho ine ndinachita monga momwe anandilamulira. Nthawi yamasana ndinatulutsa zinthu zanga nditazimanga ngati ndikupita ku ukapolo. Ndipo nthawi yamadzulo ndinabowola khoma ndi manja anga. Pamene chisisira chinkayamba, ndinasenza katundu wanga pa phewa kutuluka naye iwo akuona.
And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my baggage by day, as baggage for captivity, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8 Mmawa mwake Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
And in the morning came the word of the LORD to me, saying,
9 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi anthu aupandu a Israeli sanakufunse kuti ukuchita chiyani?
Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to thee, What doest thou?
10 “Uwawuze kuti, ‘zimene ndikunena Ine Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse ndi izi: Uthengawu ndi wonena za kalonga wa ku Yerusalemu pamodzi ndi banja lonse la Israeli amene akukhala kumeneko.’
Say thou to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
11 Uwawuze kuti, ‘Ndiwe chizindikiro chowachenjeza.’ “Zidzakuchitikirani monga momwe zakuchitikira iwemu. Iwo adzatengedwa kupita ku ukapolo.”
Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall move and go into captivity.
12 “Kalonga wawo adzatenga katundu wake nʼchisisira nʼkunyamuka. Adzatulukira pa bowo limene anthu anabowola pa khoma. Adzaphimba nkhope yake kuti asaone kumene akupita.
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry them out through it: he shall cover his face, that he may not see the ground with his eyes.
13 Ndidzayala ukonde wanga pa iye ndi kumukola mu msampha wanga. Ndidzabwera naye ku Babuloni, dziko la Akaldeya, koma sadzaliona dzikolo, ndipo adzafera kumeneko.
My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
14 Ine ndidzabalalitsa kumbali zonse zinayi onse okhala naye pafupi, ndiwo omuthandiza ake pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake. Ndidzawalondola ndi lupanga losolola.
And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
15 “Iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova, ndikadzawamwaza pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndi kuwabalalitsira ku mayiko ena.
And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
16 Koma ndidzasiyako ena pangʼono amene adzapulumuke ku lupanga, njala ndi mliri, kuti akafotokoze ntchito zawo zonse zonyansa pakati pa anthu achilendo kumene akupitako. Pamenepo adzadziwa kuti ndine Yehova.”
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen where they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
17 Pambuyo pake Yehova anandiyankhulanso nati,
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, uzinjenjemera ukamadya chakudya chako, ndipo uzinthunthumira ndi mantha ukamamwa madzi ako.
Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and anxious care;
19 Uwawuze anthu a mʼdzikomo kuti izi ndi zimene Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse akunena za anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu ndi dziko la Israeli: Iwo adzadya chakudya chawo ndi mantha ndi kumwa madzi awo ndi nkhawa. Zonse za mʼdziko lawo zidzalandidwa chifukwa cha ziwawa za anthu onse okhala mʼmenemo.
And say to the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with anxious care, and drink their water with horror, that her land may be desolate from all that is in it, because of the violence of all them that dwell in it.
20 Mizinda imene ili ndi anthu idzasakazika ndipo dziko lidzasanduka chipululu. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
21 Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
22 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi mwambi umene ukunenedwa mu Israeli ndi wotani: ‘Masiku akupita koma masomphenya onse sakukwaniritsidwa?’
Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23 Choncho uwawuze anthuwo kuti, ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndidzawuthetsa mwambi umenewu ndipo sadzawunenanso mu Israeli.’ Uwawuze kuti, ‘masiku ayandikira oti zonse zimene ndinanena mʼmasomphenya zichitikedi.
Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24 Pakuti masiku amenewo sikudzakhalanso masomphenya abodza kapena kuwombeza kwa chinyengo pakati pa anthu a Israeli.
For there shall no more be any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25 Koma Ine Ambuye ndidzayankhula chimene ndikufuna, ndipo chidzachitikadi, osachedwa ayi. Pakuti mʼmasiku anu omwe ano, inu anthu opanduka, ndidzakwaniritsa chilichonse chimene ndidzanena. Ndikutero Ine Yehova.’”
For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall no more be prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
26 Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
27 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, Aisraeli akunena kuti, ‘masomphenya amene ukuona sadzachitika kwa zaka zambiri. Iwo akuti ukulosa za zinthu zimene zidzachitika ku tsogolo kwambiri.’
Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are distant.
28 “Choncho uwawuze kuti, ‘zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena ndi izi: Zonena zanga sizidzachedwanso; chilichonse chimene ndikunena chidzachitikadi. Ndikutero Ine Yehova.’”
Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be further deferred, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
