Ezekieli 16
1 Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
Again the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, udzudzule Yerusalemu za ntchito zake zonyansa.
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 Umuwuze kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akukuwuza, iwe Yerusalemu kuti: Kwawo kwa makolo ako ndi ku Kanaani ndipo iwe unabadwira komweko. Abambo ako anali Mwamori, amayi ako anali Mhiti.
And say, Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
4 Pa tsiku lomwe unabadwa sanadule mchombo wako. Sanakusambitse mʼmadzi kuti uyere. Sanakuthire mchere kapena kukukulunga mʼnsalu.
And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe anakusamala kapena kukumvera chisoni kuti akuchitire zimenezi. Mʼmalo mwake anakutaya panja poyera, chifukwa ananyansidwa nawe pa tsiku lako lobadwa.
None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
6 “‘Tsono pamene ndinkadutsa, ndinakuona ukuvimvinizika mʼmagazi ako. Ndinakuyankhula uli mʼmagazi ako omwewo kuti, ‘Khala ndi moyo,’
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
7 ndi kuti ukule ngati mbewu ya mʼmunda. Iwe unakula ndipo unatalika ndi kutha msinkhu. Mawere ako anayamba kumera ndi tsitsi lakonso linayamba kutalika. Komabe unali wamaliseche ndi wausiwa.
I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.
8 “‘Tsono pamene ndinkadutsanso ndinaona kuti nthawi yako yomanga banja inakwana. Tsono ndinakufunditsa chovala changa ndi kubisa umaliseche wako. Ndinachita nawe pangano la ukwati ndipo unakhala wanga, akutero Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse.
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Sovereign YHWH, and thou becamest mine.
9 “‘Ine ndinakusambitsa mʼmadzi kutsuka magazi ako ndikukudzoza mafuta.
Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 Ndinakuveka zovala zopetapeta ndi nsapato za chikopa. Ndinakuveka zovala zabafuta ndi kukuveka zovala za bafuta.
I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
11 Ndinakukongoletsa ndi zokometsera zamtengowapatali: ndinakuveka zibangiri mʼmanja mwako ndi mkanda mʼkhosi mwako,
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 ndipo ndinakuveka chipini pa mphuno yako, ndolo ku makutu ako ndiponso chipewa chaufumu pa mutu wako.
And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
13 Choncho unavala zokongoletsa zagolide ndi siliva. Zovala zako zinali zabafuta, zasilika ndi za nsalu zopetapeta. Chakudya chako chinali ufa wosalala uchi ndi mafuta a olivi. Motero unakhala wokongola kwambiri ndipo unasanduka mfumukazi.
Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
14 Ndipo mbiri ya kukongola kwako inawanda pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina, chifukwa ulemerero umene ndinakupatsa unapititsa patsogolo kukongola kwako, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
15 “‘Koma iwe unatama kukongola kwako ndipo unayamba kuchita zadama chifukwa cha kutchuka kwako. Unkachita chigololo ndi kumangodzipereka kwa aliyense wodutsa ndipo kukongola kwako kunakhala kwake.
But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 Unatenga zovala zako zina nukakongoletsera malo opembedzerako mafano, ndipo kumeneko umachitirako zigololo. Zinthu izi sizinachitikepo nʼkale lomwe ndipo sizidzachitikanso.
And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Unatenga zokongoletsera zopangidwa ndi golide ndi siliva zimene ndinakupatsa ndipo unadzipangira wekha mafano aamuna amene unkachita nawo za dama.
Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
18 Ndipo iwe unatenga zovala zako zopetapeta ndi kuveka mafano. Mafuta anga ndi lubani wanga unapereka kwa mafanowo.
And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
19 Chakudya chimene ndinakupatsa, ufa, mafuta ndi uchi, zimene ndinkakudyetsa nazo unazitenga nʼkuzipereka kwa mafanowo ngati nsembe ya fungo lokoma. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
20 “‘Ndipo unatenga ana ako aamuna ndi ana aakazi amene unandibalira ine, ndipo unakawapereka ngati nsembe kwa mafanowo. Kodi zigololo zakozo sizinakukwanire
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,
21 kuti uziphanso ana anga ndi kuwapereka ngati nsembe kwa mafano akowo?
That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
22 Chifukwa cha zadama zako zonyansazi unayiwala masiku a ubwana wako pamene unali wamaliseche, wausiwa ndiponso womangovivinizika mʼmagazi.
And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
23 “‘Tsoka! Tsoka kwa iwe, akutero Ambuye Yehova chifukwa powonjezera pa zoyipa zako zonse,
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Sovereign YHWH; )
24 wadzimangira wekha nsanja ndi guwa pa mabwalo onse.
That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
25 Pa msewu uliwonse wamanga nsanjazo. Motero wanyazitsa kukongola kwako podzipereka kwa aliyense amene adutsapo.
Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
26 Umachita chigololo ndi Aigupto, anthu adama oyandikana nawe. Choncho unandikwiyitsa chifukwa unachulukitsa za dama zako.
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
27 Nʼchifukwa chake ndinatambasula dzanja langa kukukantha ndi kuchepetsa dziko lako. Ndinakupereka kwa adani ako, Afilisti amene amayipidwa ndi makhalidwe ako onyansa.
Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28 Chifukwa cha chilakolako chako unachitanso zadama ndi Aasiriya. Ngakhale unachita nawo chigololo koma sunakhutitsidwebe.
Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
29 Choncho unapitirirabe kuchita chigololo ndi Ababuloni, anthu a mʼdziko lokonda zamalonda. Ngakhale unachita izi, komabe sunakhutitsidwe.
Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
30 “‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Mtima wako ndi wofowoka kwambiri chifukwa unachita zonsezo monga ngati mkazi wopanga manyazi.
How weak is thine heart, saith the Sovereign YHWH, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
31 Unamanga nsanja pa msewu uliwonse. Unamanganso kachisi pabwalo lililonse. Komabe sunachite ngati mkazi wadama chifukwa unakana malipiro.
In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
32 “‘Iwe mkazi wachigololo! Umakonda amuna achilendo kupambana mwamuna wakowako!
But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
33 Amuna ndiwo amapereka malipiro kwa mkazi wadama. Koma iwe ndi amene ukupereka mphatso kwa zibwenzi zako zonse. Choncho umazinyengerera kuti zizibwera kwa iwe kuchokera mbali zonse kudzagona nawe.
They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
34 Chotero iwe ukusiyana ndi akazi ena achigololo, pakuti palibe amene ankakunyengerera kuti uchite naye chigololo. Iweyo ndiye unkapereka ndalama osati ena kukupatsa ndalama ayi. Motero unalidi wosiyana kwambiri ndi akazi ena.
And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
35 “‘Tsono mkazi wachigololo iwe, imva mawu a Yehova!
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of YHWH:
36 Ambuye Yehova akuti, popeza unavula ndi kuonetsa umaliseche wako mopanda manyazi, unachita chigololo ndi zibwenzi zako pamodzi ndi mafano ako onyansa, komanso popeza unapereka ana ako kuti aphedwe ngati nsembe zoperekedwa kwa mafano,
Thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
37 nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndidzasonkhanitsa zibwenzi zako zonse, zimene unkasangalala nazo, amene unkawakonda ndi amene unkawada. Ndidzawasonkhanitsa motsutsana nawe kuchokera ku madera onse okuzungulira ndipo Ine ndidzakuvula pamaso pawo, ndipo iwo adzaona umaliseche wako wonse.
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38 Ine ndidzakulanga monga mmene amalangira akazi amene amachita chigololo ndiponso opha anthu. Chifukwa cha ukali wanga ndi nsanje yanga, ndidzakhetsa magazi ako mokwiya kwambiri.
And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
39 Ndidzakupereka mʼmanja mwa zibwenzi zako ndi kuwononga nyumba zopembedzera mafano ako. Iwo adzakuvula zovala zako ndi kutenga zodzikometsera zako zabwino. Choncho adzakusiya wa maliseche ndi wausiwa.
And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
40 Iwo adzabweretsa gulu la anthu limene lidzakuponya miyala ndi kukutematema ndi malupanga awo.
They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
41 Adzatentha nyumba zako ndi kukulanga iwe pamaso pa akazi ambiri. Ndidzathetsa chigololo chako, ndipo sudzalipiranso zibwenzi zako.
And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
42 Ukali wanga udzalekera pamenepo ndipo sindidzakuchitiranso nsanje. Ndidzakhala chete osakwiyanso.
So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 “‘Popeza sunakumbukire masiku a ubwana wako koma unandikwiyitsa ndi zinthu zonsezi, Ine ndidzakubwezera ndithu chilango pamutu pako chifukwa cha zimene wachita, akutero Ambuye Yehova. Paja unawonjezera chigololo pa machitidwe ako onyansa.
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Sovereign YHWH: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.
44 “‘Taona, onse onena miyambi adzakuphera mwambi wakuti, ‘Make mbuu, mwana mbuu.’
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 Ndiwedi mwana weniweni wamkazi wa mayi wako, amene amanyoza mwamuna wake ndi ana ake. Ndiwe mʼbale weniweni wa abale ako, amene amanyoza amuna awo ndi ana awo. Amayi ako anali Mhiti ndipo abambo ako anali Mwamori.
Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Mkulu wako anali Samariya, ndipo iye pamodzi ndi ana ake aakazi ankakhala cha kumpoto kwako. Mngʼono wako, Sodomu ankakhala cha kummwera kwako pamodzi ndi ana ake aakazi.
And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Iwe sunangotsatira kokha njira zawo zoyipa ndi kuchita zonyansa zawo, koma patangopita nthawi pangʼono machitidwe ako oyipa anaposa awo.
Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
48 Ndithu pali Ine wamoyo, akutero Ambuye Yehova, ngakhale mʼbale wako Sodomu ndi ana ake aakazi sanachitepo zimene iwe ndi ana ako aakazi munachita.
As I live, saith the Sovereign YHWH, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
49 “‘Tsono tchimo la mʼbale wako Sodomu linali ili: Iye ndi ana ake aakazi ankanyadira kuchuluka kwa chakudya ndi chuma chawo. Koma sanalabadireko kuthandiza osauka ndi aumphawi.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 Anali odzitukumula ndipo ankachita zonyansa pamaso panga. Nʼchifukwa chake ndinawachotsa monga mmene waoneramu.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
51 Samariya sanachite ngakhale theka la machimo amene unachita. Iwe wachita zinthu zonyansa zambiri kuposa iwo, motero kuti abale ako awiriwo amaoneka ngati olungama kuyerekeza ndi iye.
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
52 Tsono iwenso uyenera kuchita manyazi popeza waonetsa abale ako ngati osachimwa. Popeza kuti machimo ako ndi onyansa kwambiri kupambana awo, tsonotu iwowo akuoneka olungama kupambana iweyo. Choncho iwenso uchite manyazi ndi kunyozedwa popeza unaonetsa abale ako ngati olungama.
Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
53 “‘Koma, ndidzadalitsanso Sodomu ndi ana ake aakazi. Ndidzadalitsanso Samariya ndi ana ake aakazi. Pa nthawi yomweyo ndidzakudalitsanso iwe Yerusalemu.
When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
54 Ndidzatero kuti uchite manyazi ndi kunyozeka chifukwa cha zonse zimene unachita powatonthoza anthuwa.
That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
55 Motero mʼbale wako Sodomu ndi ana ake akadzakhala monga mmene analili poyamba paja, ndiponso mʼbale wako Samariya akadzakhalanso monga mmene anali poyamba paja, ndiye kuti iwenso ndi ana ako mudzakhala monga mmene munalili payamba paja.
When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Kale lija pamene unkanyada, suja unkanyogodola mʼbale wako Sodomu
For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
57 kuyipa kwako kusanadziwike? Koma tsopano wafanana naye. Wasandukano chinthu chonyozeka kwa anthu a ku Edomu ndi kwa onse owazungulira ndiponso kwa Afilisti. Ndithu onse amene akuzungulira amakunyoza.
Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.
58 Choncho udzalangidwa chifukwa cha zigololo zako ndi machitidwe anu onyansa, akutero Yehova.
Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith YHWH.
59 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzakulanga molingana ndi zimene unachita. Iwe unanyoza lumbiro lako pophwanya pangano langa.
For thus saith the Sovereign YHWH; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Komabe, Ine ndidzakumbukira pangano limene ndinachita nawe mʼmasiku a unyamata wako, ndipo ndidzakhazikitsa pangano losatha ndi iwe.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
61 Tsono udzakumbukira njira zako zakale. Udzachita manyazi polandiranso abale ako, wamkulu ndi wamngʼono yemwe. Ndidzawaperekanso kwa iwe kuti akhale ngati ana ako ngakhale kuti sali a mʼpangano langa ndi iwe.
Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
62 Kotero ndidzakhazikitsa pangano langa ndi iwe, ndipo iwe udzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am YHWH:
63 Ndikadzakukhululukira zoyipa zako zonse zimene unachita, udzazikumbukira ndipo udzachita manyazi kwambiri, kotero kuti sudzatha nʼkuyankhula komwe, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Sovereign YHWH.
