< Ezekieli 30 >
1 Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, nenera ndipo ulengeze zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena. “‘Ufuwule mawu awa akuti, ‘Kalanga, tsiku lafika!’
Son of man, be a prophet, and say, These are the words of the Lord: Give a cry, Aha, for the day!
3 Pakuti tsiku layandikira, tsiku la Yehova lili pafupi, tsiku la mitambo yakuda, tsiku lachiwonongeko cha mitundu ya anthu.
For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it will be the time of the nations.
4 Lupanga lidzabwera kudzalimbana ndi Igupto ndipo mavuto adzafika pa Kusi. Pamene anthu ambiri adzaphedwa mu Igupto, chuma chake chidzatengedwa ndipo maziko ake adzagumuka.
And a sword will come on Egypt, and cruel pain will be in Ethiopia, when they are falling by the sword in Egypt; and they will take away her wealth and her bases will be broken down.
5 Kusi, Puti, Ludi ndi Arabiya yense, Libiya ndiponso anthu a mʼdziko logwirizana naye adzaphedwa ndi lupanga pamodzi ndi Igupto.
Ethiopia and Put and Lud and all the mixed people and Libya and the children of the land of the Cherethites will all be put to death with them by the sword.
6 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: “‘Onse othandiza Igupto adzaphedwa ndipo kunyadira mphamvu zake kudzatheratu. Adzaphedwa ndi lupanga kuyambira ku Migidoli mpaka ku mzinda wa Asiwani,’” ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
This is what the Lord has said: The supporters of Egypt will have a fall, and the pride of her power will come down: from Migdol to Syene they will be put to the sword in it, says the Lord.
7 “‘Dziko la Igupto lidzasanduka bwinja kupambana mabwinja ena onse opasuka, ndipo mizinda yake idzakhala yopasuka kupambana mizinda ina yonse.
And she will be made waste among the countries which have been made waste, and her towns will be among the towns which are unpeopled.
8 Nditatha kutentha Igupto ndi kupha onse omuthandiza, pamenepo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have put a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are broken.
9 “‘Nthawi imeneyo ikadzafika, amithenga adzapita mofulumira kuchokera kwa Ine kukaopseza Kusi, iwowo osadziwako kanthu. Ndipo adzada nkhawa pa tsiku limene Igupto adzawonongedwa, chifukwa tsikulo lidzafika ndithu.
In that day men will go out quickly to take the news, causing fear in untroubled Ethiopia; and bitter pain will come on them as in the day of Egypt; for see, it is coming.
10 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Ndidzagwiritsa ntchito Nebukadinezara, mfumu ya ku Babuloni kuti ndithetse gulu lankhondo la Igupto.
This is what the Lord has said: I will put an end to great numbers of the people of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.
11 Iye ndi gulu lake lankhondo, mtundu wa anthu ankhanza kwambiri aja adzabwera kudzawononga dzikolo. Adzasolola malupanga awo kulimbana ndi Igupto ndipo dziko lidzadzaza ndi mitembo.
He and the people with him, causing fear among the nations, will be sent for the destruction of the land; their swords will be let loose against Egypt and the land will be full of dead.
12 Ndidzawumitsa mtsinje wa Nailo ndi kugulitsa dziko la Igupto kwa anthu oyipa. Ndidzagwiritsa ntchito anthu achilendo kuti ndiwononge dzikolo pamodzi ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo. Ine Yehova ndayankhula.
And I will make the Nile streams dry, and will give the land into the hands of evil men, causing the land and everything in it to be wasted by the hands of men from a strange country: I the Lord have said it.
13 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Ndidzawononga mafano ndi kuthetsa milungu yosema ya ku Mefisi. Simudzakhalanso mfumu mu Igupto, ndipo ndidzaopseza dziko lonse.
This is what the Lord has said: In addition to this, I will give up the images to destruction and put an end to the false gods in Noph; never again will there be a ruler in the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
14 Ndidzasandutsa chipululu mzinda wa Patirosi, ndi kutentha mzinda wa Zowani. Ndidzalanga mzinda wa Thebesi.
And I will make Pathros a waste, and put a fire in Zoan, and send my punishments on No.
15 Ndidzakhuthulira ukali wanga pa mzinda wa Peluziumu, linga lolimba la Igupto, ndi kuwononga gulu lankhondo la Thebesi.
I will let loose my wrath on Sin, the strong place of Egypt, cutting off the mass of the people of No.
16 Ndidzatentha ndi moto dziko la Igupto; Peluziumu adzazunzika ndi ululu. Malinga a Thebesi adzagumuka, ndipo mzindawo udzasefukira ndi madzi.
And I will put a fire in Egypt; Syene will be twisting in pain, and No will be broken into, as by the onrush of waters.
17 Anyamata a ku Oni ndi ku Pibeseti adzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo okhala mʼmizinda yake adzatengedwa ukapolo.
The young men of On and Pi-beseth will be put to the sword: and these towns will be taken away prisoners.
18 Ku Tehafinehezi kudzakhala mdima pamene ndidzathyola goli la Igupto; motero kunyada kwake kudzatha. Iye adzaphimbidwa ndi mitambo yakuda, ndipo okhala mʼmizinda yake adzapita ku ukapolo.
And at Tehaphnehes the day will become dark, when the yoke of Egypt is broken there, and the pride of her power comes to an end: as for her, she will be covered with a cloud, and her daughters will be taken away prisoners.
19 Kotero ndidzalanga dziko la Igupto, ndipo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’”
And I will send my punishments on Egypt: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
20 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri la mwezi woyamba wa chaka chakhumi ndi chimodzi, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
Now in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, ndathyola dzanja la Farao mfumu ya Igupto. Taona, silinamangidwe kuti lipole, ngakhale kulilimbitsa ndi nsalu kuti lithe kugwiranso lupanga.
Son of man, the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, has been broken by me, and no band has been put round it to make it well, no band has been twisted round it to make it strong for gripping the sword.
22 Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, Ine ndikudana ndi Farao mfumu ya Igupto. Ndidzathyola manja ake onse; dzanja labwino pamodzi ndi lothyokalo, ndipo lupanga lidzagwa mʼmanja mwake.
For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and by me his strong arm will be broken; and I will make the sword go out of his hand.
23 Ndidzamwaza Aigupto pakati pa mitundu ya anthu ndikuwabalalitsira ku mayiko ambiri.
And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries.
24 Ndidzalimbitsa manja a mfumu ya ku Babuloni, ndipo mʼmanja mwake ndidzayikamo lupanga langa. Koma ndidzathyola manja a Farao, ndipo adzabuwula ngati wolasidwa koopsa pamaso pa mfumu ya ku Babuloniyo.
And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and will put my sword in his hand: but Pharaoh's arms will be broken, and he will give cries of pain before him like the cries of a man wounded to death.
25 Ndidzalimbitsa manja a mfumu ya ku Babuloni, koma manja a Farao adzafowoka. Motero anthu adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova, ndikadzayika lupanga langa mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Ndipo adzaligwiritsa ntchito pothira nkhondo dziko la Igupto.
And I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and the arms of Pharaoh will be hanging down; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and it is stretched out against the land of Egypt.
26 Ndidzamwaza Aigupto pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ndikuwabalalitsira ku mayiko ambiri. Motero adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
And I will send the Egyptians in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
