< Ezekieli 25 >
1 Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, tembenukira anthu a ku Amoni ndipo unenere mowadzudzula.
“Ndodana yomuntu, khangelisa ubuso bakho umelane lama-Amoni, uphrofithe okubi ngawo.
3 Awawuze kuti, ‘Inu anthu a ku Amoni, imvani zimene Ambuye Yehova akunena. Iye akuti: Inu munanena mawu onyoza pamene Nyumba yanga yopatulika inkayipitsidwa. Munanyozanso dziko la Israeli pamene linaguga ndiponso anthu a ku Yuda pamene anatengedwa ukapolo.
Tshono kuwo uthi, ‘Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo Wobukhosi. Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngoba lina lathi “Aha!” ngendlu yami engcwele lapho yayingcolisiwe langelizwe lako-Israyeli lapho lalichithiwe kanye langabantu bakoJuda lapho babethunjiwe,
4 Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndidzakuperekani mʼmanja mwa anthu akummawa ngati cholowa chawo. Iwo adzamanga misasa yawo ndi kukhoma matenti awo pakati panu. Adzadya zipatso zanu ndi kumwa mkaka wanu.
ngakho ngizalinikela ebantwini baseMpumalanga njengenotho yabo. Bazakwakha izihonqo zabo bamise amathente abo phakathi kwenu; bazakudla izithelo zenu banathe lochago lwenu.
5 Ndidzasandutsa Raba kuti akhale busa la ngamira ndi mizinda ya Aamoni kuti ikhale makola a nkhosa. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
Ngizakwenza iRabha ibe lidlelo lamakamela le-Amoni ibe yindawo yokuphumulela izimvu. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.
6 Zimene ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova ndi izi: Inu munawomba mʼmanja ndi kumalumphalumpha. Munkakondwa mu mtima mwanu pamene munkanyoza dziko la Israeli.
Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngoba liqakeze izandla zenu lagida langezinyawo zenu, lithokoza ngabo bonke ububi benhliziyo yenu ngelizwe lako-Israyeli,
7 Nʼchifukwa chake ndidzatambasula dzanja langa kuti ndikulangeni, ndipo ndidzakuperekani kuti mukhale chofunkha cha anthu a mitundu ina. Ndidzakuchotsani pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndi kukufafanizani mʼmayiko onse. Ndidzakuwonongani, ndipo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova!’”
ngakho ngizakwelula isandla sami ngimelane lani, ngilinikele ezizweni. Ngizaliqeda du phakathi kwezizwe, ngibuye ngilisuse emazweni enu. Ngizaliqothula, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.’”
8 “Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Anthu a ku Mowabu ndi a ku Seiri ananena kuti anthu a ku Yuda ali ngati mayiko ena onse.’
“Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: ‘Ngenxa yokuthi iMowabi kanye leSeyiri athi, “Khangelani, indlu kaJuda isinjengezinye izizwe zonke,”
9 Nʼchifukwa chake ndidzagumula mbali ina ya Mowabu, kuyambira ku mizinda yake ya kumalire; mizinda yokongola ya Beti-Yesimoti, Baala-Meoni ndi Kiriataimu.
ngakho-ke ngizakwambula uhlangothi lweMowabi, kusukela emadolobheni asemingceleni yeBhethi-Jeshimothi, leBhali-Meyoni kanye leKhiriyathayimi, udumo lwelizwe.
10 Ndidzapereka Amowabu pamodzi ndi Aamoni mʼmanja mwa anthu akummawa kotero kuti Aamoni adzayiwalikiratu pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.
Ngizanikela iMowabi ndawonye lama-Amoni ebantwini baseMpumalanga njengenotho, ukuze ama-Amoni angakhunjulwa phakathi kwezizwe;
11 Ndidzawalangadi Amowabuwo. Pamenepo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
njalo ngizaletha isijeziso eMowabi. Bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
12 “Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Pakuti Edomu analipsira Ayuda, ndiye kuti analakwa kwambiri pochita zimenezi.
“Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: ‘Ngoba i-Edomi yaphindisela endlini kaJuda yasisiba lecala elikhulu ngokwenza njalo,
13 Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzatambasula dzanja langa kulanga Edomu ndi kupha anthu ake ndiponso nyama zawo. Ndidzawonongeratu Edomu ndipo adzaphedwa ndi lupanga kuchokera ku Temani mpaka ku Dedani.
ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizakwelula isandla sami ngimelane le-Edomi ngibulale abantu bayo kanye lezifuyo. Ngizayichitha, njalo kusukela eThemani kusiya eDedani, bazabulawa ngenkemba.
14 Ndidzalanga Edomu ndi dzanja la anthu anga Aisraeli. Adzalanga anthu a ku Edomu molingana ndi mkwiyo ndi ukali wanga. Choncho adzaona kulipsira kwanga akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
Ngizaphindisela e-Edomi ngesandla sabantu bami u-Israyeli, njalo i-Edomi bazayiphatha mayelana lentukuthelo yami kanye lolaka lwami; bazayazi impindiselo yami, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
15 “Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Afilisti analanga anthu anga mwankhanza ndi kuwalipsira.
“Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: ‘Ngoba amaFilistiya enza impindiselo njalo aphindisela ngolunya ezinhliziyweni zawo, njalo ngenzondo yasendulo afuna ukuchitha uJuda,
16 Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzatambasula dzanja langa kukantha Afilistiwo. Ndidzafafaniza Akereti ndi kuwononga iwo amene amakhala mʼmbali mwa nyanja.
ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Sekuseduze ukuba ngelule ingalo yami ngimelane lamaFilistiya, njalo ngizaqothula amaKherethi ngichithe lalabo abaseleyo ngasolwandle.
17 Ndidzawabwezera chilango choopsa ndipo ndidzawalanga mu mkwiyo wanga. Ndikadzawalipsira ndipo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’”
Ngizakwenza impindiselo enkulu kubo njalo ngibajezise ekuthukutheleni kwami. Ngakho bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo, lapho sengiphindisela kubo.’”
