Ezekieli 2
1 Iye anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, imirira kuti ndiyankhule nawe.”
He said to me, “You human, stand up while I speak to you.”
2 Pamene ankayankhula nane, Mzimu wa Mulungu unalowa mwa ine ndipo unandiyimiritsa, ndipo ndinamva Iye akundiyankhula.
While he spoke to me, [God’s] Spirit entered me and enabled me to stand up. Then I heard him speak to me.
3 Iye anati, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, Ine ndikukutuma kwa Aisraeli, mtundu wa anthu owukira umene wandiwukira Ine; Iwo ndi makolo awo akhala akundiwukira Ine mpaka lero lino.
He said, “You human, I will send you to the Israeli people. They are people who have turned away from me and rebelled against me. Their ancestors rebelled against me, and they themselves are still rebelling against me.
4 Ndikukutuma kwa anthu okanika ndiponso nkhutukumve. Ndikukutuma kuti akawawuze zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena.
The people to whom I will send you are very stubborn [DOU]. But say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you.’
5 Kaya akamva kaya sakamvera, pakuti iwo ndi anthu opanduka, komabe adzadziwa kuti mneneri ali pakati pawo.
[when you tell them my messages], perhaps those rebellious people will heed those messages and perhaps they will not heed them, but they will know [you are] a prophet who has been among them.
6 Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, usachite nawo mantha kapena kuopa zimene azikanena. Usachite mantha, ngakhale minga ndi mkandankhuku zikuzinge ndipo ukukhala pakati pa zinkhanira. Usachite mantha ndi zimene akunena kapena kuopsedwa ndi nkhope zawo, popeza anthuwa ndi awupandu.
And you human, you must not be afraid of them or afraid of what they say. [Living among them will be like] living in the midst of briers or scorpions, but do not be afraid of them. They are rebellious people [MTY], but do not allow them to cause you to become afraid.
7 Ukawawuze ndithu mawu anga, kaya akamva kaya sakamva. Paja anthuwa ndi awupandu.
Tell them my message, but do not expect them to pay attention to it, because they [very] rebellious.
8 Koma iwe mwana wa munthu, mvetsera zimene ndikukuwuza. Usakhale wowukira ngati iwowo. Tsono yasama pakamwa pako kuti udye chimene ndikukupatsa.”
But human, you must pay attention to what I say. Do not be rebellious like they are. [Now] open your mouth and eat what I give to you.”
9 Nditayangʼana ndinangoona dzanja litaloza ine, litagwira mpukutu wolembedwa.
Then, as I watched, I saw his hand that was stretched toward me. In his hand was a scroll.
10 Anawufunyulura pamaso panga. Mpukutu wonse unali wolembedwa kuseri nʼkuseri. Ndipo mawu amene analembedwa mʼmenemo anali a madandawulo, maliro ndi matemberero.
He unrolled the scroll. On both sides of it were written words that expressed sorrow and mourning and words about trouble/disaster.
