Ezekieli 23
1 Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, panali atsikana awiri ana a mayi mmodzi.
Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:
3 Iwo ankachita za chiwerewere ku Igupto. Za chiwerewerezo anayamba ali achichepere. Kumeneko anthu ankangowasisita pa chifuwa ndi kuwagwiragwira mawere awo aja.
and they went a-whoring in Egypt in their youth: there their breasts fell, there they lost their virginity.
4 Wamkulu dzina lake anali Ohola, ndipo mngʼono wakeyo anali Oholiba. Ine ndinawakwatira ndipo anabereka ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi. Ohola ndiye Samariya, ndipo Yerusalemu ndiye Oholiba.
And their names were Oola the elder, and Ooliba her sister: and they were mine, and bore sons and daughters: and [as for] their names, Samaria was Oola, and Jerusalem was Ooliba.
5 “Ohola anachita zachiwerewere ngakhale anali mkazi wanga; ndipo iye anakangamira abwenzi ake a ku Asiriya.
And Oola went a-whoring from me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbors,
6 Amenewo anali asilikali ovala zibakuwa zamlangali, abwanamkubwa ndiponso atsogoleri a nkhondo. Onsewo anali anyamata osiririka ndipo ankakwera pa akavalo.
clothed with purple, princes and captains; [they were] young men and choice, all horseman riding on horses.
7 Ohola anachita zachiwerewere ndi onsewa, anthu otchuka a ku Asiriya. Iye anadziyipitsa ndi mafano a munthu aliyense amene anagona naye.
And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all [their] devices.
8 Iye sanaleke za chiwerewere zimene anaziphunzira ku Igupto. Paja akanali mtsikana anyamata ankagona naye. Iwo ankamusisita mawere akanali anthete nachita naye zachiwerewere.
And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her.
9 “Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndinamupereka kwa achikondi ake, Asiriya, amene iye ankawalakalaka.
Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
10 Iwowa anamuvula, namulanda ana ake aamuna ndi aakazi ndipo anamupha ndi lupanga. Ndipo atalangidwa choncho, iye anasanduka chinthu chonyozeka pakati pa akazi.
They uncovered her shame: they took her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword: and she became a byword among women: and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters.
11 “Mphwake Oholiba anaona zimenezi natengerako. Koma iye anachita zachiwerewere kuposa mkulu wake.
And her sister Ooliba saw [it], and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.
12 Iyenso anakangamira Asiriya, abwanamkubwa, olamulira asilikali, ankhondo ovala zovala zonse za nkhondo ndi okwera pa akavalo. Onsewa anali anyamata osiririka.
She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbors, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; [they were] all choice young men.
13 Ndinaona kuti iyenso anadziyipitsa; ndipo onse awiriwo anatsata njira imodzi.
And I saw that they were defiled, [that] the two [had] one way.
14 “Koma Oholiba uja anachita chigololo kopitirira mkulu wake. Iye anaona zithunzi za amuna pa khoma, zithunzi za Ababuloni zolembedwa ndi inki yofiira,
And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil,
15 atamanga malamba mʼchiwuno mwawo ndi kuvala nduwira pa mitu yawo. Onse amaoneka ngati atsogoleri a magaleta a Ababuloni, mbadwa za ku Kaldeya.
having variegated girdles on their loins, having also richly dyed [attire] upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land.
16 Oholiba atangowaona, anawalakalaka ndipo anatuma amithenga ku Kaldeya kukawayitana.
And she doted upon them as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans.
17 Ndipo Ababuloni anabwera nʼkudzagona naye. Choncho mwa chilakolako chawo anamuyipitsa. Koma atamuyipitsa choncho, iye ananyansidwa nawo.
And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18 Iye atachita chiwerewere chake poyera ndi kuonetsa umaliseche wake, Ine ndinamuchokera monyansidwa monga mmene ndinachitira ndi mʼbale wake.
And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame: and my soul was alienated from her, even as my soul was alienated from her sister.
19 Koma anachitabe zachiwerewere osalekeza. Ankakumbukira masiku a ubwana wake pamene ankachita za chiwerewere mʼdziko la Igupto.
And you did multiply your fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of your youth, wherein you did commit whoredom in Egypt,
20 Kumeneko iye ankalakalaka zibwenzi zake, amene ziwalo zawo zinali ngati za abulu ndipo kutentha kwawo kunali ngati kwa akavalo.
and you did dote upon the Chaldeans, whose flesh is as the flesh of the asses, and their members [as] the members of horses.
21 Motero, iwe Oholiba unafuna kuchitanso zadama monga unkachitira ku Igupto pamene unali mtsikana. Nthawi imene ija ankakusisita pa chifuwa ndi kugwiragwira mawere ako osagwa aja.
And you did look upon the iniquity of your youth, [the things] which you wrought in Egypt in your lodgings, where were the breasts of your youth.
22 “Tsono iwe Oholiba, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzakudzutsira zibwenzi zako zimene unkanyansidwa nazo zija kuti zilimbane nawe. Ndidzaziyitana kuti zibwere kuchokera mbali zonse.
Therefore, Ooliba, thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon you round about,
23 Ndidzayitana anthu a ku Babuloni ndi Akaldeya onse, anthu a ku Pekodi, Sowa ndi Kowa pamodzi ndi Asiriya onse. Onsewa ndi amuna osiririka, abwanamkubwa, atsogoleri a ankhondo, oyenda pa magaleta, anthu a maudindo akuluakulu. Onsewa ndi okwera akavalo.
the children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Phacuc, and Sue, and Hychue, and all the sons of the Assyrians with them; choice young men, governors and captains, all princes and renowned, riding on horses.
24 Iwo adzabwera kudzalimbana nawe ndi zida za nkhondo, magaleta ndi ngolo, pamodzi ndi anthu ambiri. Adzakuzinga mbali zonse atavala zishango zankhondo ndi zipewa zankhondo. Ndidzakupereka kwa iwo kuti akulange ndipo adzakulanga monga momwe adzafunire.
And they all shall come upon you from the north, chariots and wheels, with a multitude of nations, shields and targets; and [the enemy] shall set a watch against you round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall take vengeance on you with their judgments.
25 Ndidzaonetsa mkwiyo wanga pa iwe ndipo iwo adzakulanga iwe mwankhanza. Adzadula mphuno zanu ndi makutu anu, ndipo amene adzatsalira mwa iwe adzaphedwa ndi lupanga. Iwo adzakulanda ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi ndipo amene adzatsalira adzaphedwa ndi moto.
And I will bring upon you my jealousy, and they shall deal with you in great wrath: they shall take away your nose and your ears; and shall cast down your remnant with the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your remnant fire shall devour.
26 Adzakuvulaninso zovala zanu ndikukulandani zodzikongoletsera zanu zamtengowapatali.
And they shall strip you of your raiment, and take [away] your ornaments.
27 Motero ndidzathetsa zonyansa zako ndi zachigololo zomwe unaziyamba ku Igupto. Choncho sudzalakalaka za ku Igupto kapena kuzikumbukiranso.
So I will turn back your ungodliness from you, and your fornication from the land of Egypt: and you shall not lift up your eyes upon them, and shall no more remember Egypt.
28 “Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndikukupereka mʼmanja mwa amene amadana nawe, kwa iwo amene unawafulatira moyipidwa nawo.
Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, from whom your soul is alienated.
29 Adzachita nawe mwachidani. Adzakulanda zonse zimene unagwirira ntchito. Adzakusiya wamaliseche ndiponso wausiwa. Kuyipa kwa makhalidwe ako achiwerewere kudzakhala pammbalambanda. Zonyansa zako ndi chiwerewere chako,
And they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take all [the fruits] of your labors and your toils, and you shall be naked and bare: and the shame of your fornication shall be exposed: and your ungodliness and your fornication
30 zabweretsa izi pa iwe chifukwa unachita zonyansa ndi anthu a mitundu ndi kudziyipitsa ndi mafano awo.
brought this upon you, in that you went a-whoring after the nations, and did defile yourself with their devices.
31 Unatsata zochita za mkulu wako; choncho Ine ndidzayika chikho cha chilango chake mʼdzanja lako.
You did walk in the way of your sister; and I will put her cup into your hands.
32 “Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: “Udzamwera chikho cha mkulu wako, chikho chachikulu ndi chakuya; anthu adzakuseka ndi kukunyoza, pakuti chikhocho ndi chodzaza kwambiri.
Thus says the Lord; Drink your sister's cup, deep and large, and full, to cause complete drunkenness.
33 Udzaledzera ndipo mtima wako udzadzaza ndi chisoni. Chimenechi ndi chikho chachiwonongeko ndi chipasupasu, chikho cha mkulu wako Samariya.
And you shall be thoroughly weakened; and the cup of destruction, the cup of your sister Samaria,
34 Udzamwa chikhocho mpaka kugugudiza. Tsono udzaphwanyaphwanya chikhocho ndipo udzangʼamba mawere ako ndi zigoba zake. Ine ndayankhula, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
drink you it, and I will take away her feasts and her new moons: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord.
35 “Chifukwa chake, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Popeza wandiyiwala Ine ndi kundifulatira, chomwecho uyenera kulangidwa chifukwa cha zonyansa zako ndi chiwerewere chako.”
Therefore thus says the Lord; Because you has forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore receive you [the reward] of your ungodliness and your fornication.
36 Yehova anandifunsa kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi udzaweruza Ohola ndi Oholiba? Tsono uwayimbe mlandu chifukwa cha machitidwe awo onyansa.
And the Lord said to me, Son of man, will you not judge Oola and Ooliba? and declare to them their iniquities?
37 Iwo achita chigololo ndipo anapha anthu. Anachita chigololo popembedza mafano awo. Ngakhale ana amene anandiberekera Ine anawapereka kwa mafanowo ngati chakudya chawo.
For they have committed adultery, and blood was in their hands, they committed adultery with their devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to me.
38 Anachitanso izi: Iwo anayipitsa malo anga opatulika ndi kudetsa masabata anga.
So long too as they did these things to me, they defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my sabbaths.
39 Atapereka ana awo kwa mafano, tsiku lomwelo anakalowanso mʼNyumba yanga yopatulika ndi kuyipitsamo. Izi ndi zimene anachita mʼNyumba mwanga.
And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, they also went into my sanctuary to profane it: and whereas they did thus in the midst of my house;
40 “Iwo anatuma amithenga kukayitana amuna a ku mayiko akutali. Anthuwo atabwera, abale awiri aja anasambasamba, kudzola utoto wodzikometsera kumaso, kenaka ndi kuvala zovala zamakaka.
and whereas they did thus to the men that came from afar, to whom they sent messengers, and as soon as they came, immediately you did wash yourself, and did paint your eyes and adorn yourself with ornaments,
41 Anakhala pa bedi lokongola ndipo patsogolo pawo panali tebulo pamene munayikapo lubani ndi mafuta. Zonse zowapatsa Ine.
and sat on a prepared bed, and before it [there was] a table set out, and [as for] mine incense and mine oil, they rejoiced in them,
42 “Mfuwu wa chigulu cha anthu unamveka. Anthu oledzera ochokera ku chipululu anabwera pamodzi ndi anthu wamba ndipo anaveka akaziwo zibangiri kumanja ndi zipewa zaufumu zokongola ku mutu.
and they raised a sound of music, and [that] with men coming from the wilderness out of a multitude of men, and they put bracelets on their hands, and a crown of glory on their heads;
43 Ndipo ine ndinati za mkazi wotheratu ndi chigololoyo, ‘Tsono asiyeni kuti achite naye monga wachiwerewere, pakuti ichi ndi chimene iye ali basi.’
Therefore I said, Do they not commit adultery with these? and has she also gone a-whoring [after] the manner of a harlot?
44 Tsono anapita kwa iwo monga mmene anthu amapitira kwa mkazi wadama. Momwemo anapita kwa Ohola ndi kwa Oholiba kukachita nawo zadama.
And they went in to her, as [men] go in to a harlot; so they went in to Oola and to Ooliba to work iniquity.
45 Koma anthu olungama adzawazenga anthuwa mlandu wa chigololo ndi wa kupha anthu. Ndi iwodi anthu achigololo ndiponso mʼmanja mwawo muli magazi.
And they are just men, and shall take vengeance on them with the judgment of an adulteress and the judgment of blood: for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 “Ambuye Yehova akuti: Itanitsani chigulu cha anthu kuti chidzawalange ndi kulanda chuma chawo.
Thus says the Lord God, Bring up a multitude upon them, and send trouble and plunder into the midst of them.
47 Anthuwo adzawaponye miyala akazi awiriwo ndi kuwatema ndi malupanga awo. Ana awo aamuna ndi aakazi adzawaphe ndi kutentha nyumba zawo.
And stone them with the stones of a multitude, and pierce them with their swords: they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and shall burn up their houses.
48 “Motero Ine ndidzathetsa zachigololo mʼdzikomo, ndipo akazi onse adzatengapo phunziro kuti asadzachite zachigololo monga za iwowo.
And I will remove ungodliness out of the land, and all the women shall be instructed, and shall not do according to their ungodliness.
49 Ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha ntchito zawo za dama ndipo adzazunzika chifukwa cha tchimo lawo lopembedza mafano. Choncho adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Ambuye Yehova.”
And your ungodliness shall be recompensed upon you, and you shall bear the guilt of your devices: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
