< Ezekieli 33 >
1 Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu awuze anthu a mtundu wako kuti, ‘Paja zimati ndikatumiza nkhondo mʼdziko anthu a mʼdzikomo amasankha munthu mmodzi pakati pawo kuti akhale mlonda.
3 Tsono iyeyo amati akaona nkhondo ikubwera amaliza lipenga kuti achenjeze anthuwo.
4 Wina aliyense akamva lipenga koma osasamala, mdani uja akabwera nʼkumupha, ndiye kuti wadziphetsa yekha.
5 Iye anamva kulira kwa lipenga koma sanalabadire. Ndiye kuti wadziphetsa yekha. Akanasamala kuchenjeza kwa mlonda akanapulumuka.
6 Koma ngati mlondayo aona lupanga likubwera ndipo osawomba lipengalo kuchenjeza anthu, ndipo lupanga libwera ndi kuchotsa moyo wa mmodzi mwa iwo, munthu ameneyo adzafa chifukwa cha tchimo lake, koma ndidzamuyimba mlandu mlondayo chifukwa cha imfa ya mnzakeyo.’
7 “Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, ndakuyika kuti ukhale mlonda wa Aisraeli. Choncho imva mawu amene ndikuyankhula ndipo uwachenjeze.
8 Ndikawuza munthu woyipa kuti, ‘Iwe munthu woyipa, udzafa ndithu,’ ndipo iwe osayankhula kumuchenjeza kuti aleke njira zake, munthu wochimwayo adzafa chifukwa cha tchimo lake, koma Ine ndidzakuyimba mlandu chifukwa cha imfa yake.
9 Koma ngati uchenjeza munthu woyipa kuti aleke njira zake, ndipo iye osatero, adzafa chifukwa cha tchimo lake, koma iwe udzapulumutsa moyo wako.
10 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, akumbutse Aisraeli mawu awo akuti, ‘Ife talemedwa ndi zolakwa zathu ndi machimo athu, ndipo tikuwonda chifukwa cha zimene tachita. Kodi tingakhale ndi moyo bwanji?’”
11 Uwawuze kuti, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: “Pali Ine wamoyo, sindikondwera ndi imfa ya munthu woyipa. Ndimakondwera ndikamaona munthu woyipa akuleka zoyipa zake kuti akhale ndi moyo. Tembenukani! Tembenukani, siyani makhalidwe anu oyipa! Muferanji, Inu Aisraeli?
12 “Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, awuze anthu a mtundu wako kuti, ‘Ngati munthu wolungama achimwa, ndiye kuti ntchito zake zabwino zija sizidzamupulutsa. Koma wochimwa akaleka ntchito zake zoyipazo, sadzalangidwa konse. Ndithu ngati munthu wolungama ayamba kuchimwa sadzatha kukhala ndi moyo chifukwa cha ntchito zake zabwino zija.’
13 Ngati ndiwuza munthu wolungama kuti adzafa ndithu, koma iyeyo nʼkumadalira ntchito zake zabwino zimene anachita kale ndi kuyamba kuchimwa, ndiye kuti ntchito zake zabwinozo zidzayiwalika. Iye adzafa chifukwa cha machimo ake.
14 Ndipo ngati ndiwuza munthu woyipa kuti, ‘Udzafa ndithu,’ tsono iye nʼkutembenuka kuleka machimo ake ndi kuyamba kuchita zimene Yehova afuna,
15 monga kubweza chimene anatenga ngati chikole cha ngongole, kubweza chimene anaba, kutsatira malamulo omwe amapereka moyo ndi kuleka kuchita zoyipa, iye adzakhala ndithu ndi moyo; sadzafa.
16 Ndidzakhululuka machimo ake onse anachita. Iye wachita zimene ndi zolungama ndi zoyenera ndipo iye adzakhala ndi moyo ndithu.
17 “Komabe anthu a mtundu wako akunena kuti, ‘Zimene Ambuye amachita ndi zopanda chilungamo.’ Ayi, koma makhalidwe awo ndiwo ali osalungama.
18 Ngati munthu wolungama atembenuka ndi kuleka ntchito zake zolungama ndi kuyamba kuchita zoyipa, adzafa nazo.
19 Ndipo ngati munthu woyipa atembenuka ndi kuleka ntchito zake zoyipa ndi kuyamba kuchita zolungama ndi zoyenera, iye adzakhala ndi moyo pochita zimenezo.
20 Koma Inu Aisraeli, mukunena kuti, ‘Zimene Ambuye amachita ndi zopanda chilungamo.’ Ayi, inu Aisraeli, Ine ndidzaweruza aliyense wa inu potsata ntchito zake.”
21 Pa tsiku lachisanu la mwezi wakhumi, chaka chakhumi ndi chiwiri cha ukapolo wathu, munthu wina amene anapulumuka ku Yerusalemu anabwera kudzandiwuza kuti, “Mzinda wagwa!”
22 Tsono madzulo ake munthuyo asanafike, dzanja la Yehova linali pa ine. Koma mmawa mwake munthuyo atabwera Yehova anatsekula pakamwa panga, motero kuti sindinakhalenso wosayankhula.
23 Ndipo Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
24 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, anthu amene akukhala mʼmizinda ya mabwinja ya dziko la Israeli akunena kuti, ‘Abrahamu anali munthu mmodzi yekha, ndipo anamupatsa dziko lonse. Koma ife tilipo ambiri, motero tsono dzikolo ndi lathu.’
25 Choncho iwe uwawuze kuti Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, ‘Inu mumadya nyama ili ndi magazi ake, ndipo mumapembedza mafano ndi kukhetsa magazi, kodi tsono inu nʼkulandira dzikoli?
26 Mumadalira lupanga lanu, mumachita zinthu zonyansa, ndipo aliyense wa inu amachita chigololo ndi mkazi wa mnzake. Kodi inu nʼkulandira dzikoli?’
27 “Uwawuze kuti Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, ‘Ndithu pali Ine wamoyo, anthu amene anatsala mʼmizinda ya mabwinja adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, amene ali ku midzi ndidzawapereka kuti adzadyedwe ndi zirombo zakuthengo, ndipo amene ali mʼmalinga ndi mʼmapanga adzafa ndi mliri.
28 Ndidzalisandutsa chipululu dzikolo, ndipo mphamvu zake zimene amanyadira zidzatheratu, ndipo mapiri a Yerusalemu adzasanduka chipululu, kotero kuti palibe amene adzatha kudutsako.
29 Ndikadzasandutsa dzikolo chipululu chifukwa cha zonyansa zimene ankachita, pamenepo ndiye adzadziwa kuti ndine Yehova.’
30 “Koma kunena za iwe, mwana wa munthu, anthu a mtundu wako akumayankhula za iwe akakhala pa makoma a mzinda ndi pa makomo a nyumba zawo. Akumawuzana kuti, ‘Tiyeni tikamve uthenga umene wachokera kwa Yehova.’
31 Anthu anga amabwera kwa iwe, monga momwe amachitira nthawi zonse anthu anga, ndipo amakhala pansi pamaso pako kumvetsera mawu ako. Koma zimene akumvazo sazichita. Zokamba zawo zimaonetsa chikondi, koma mitima yawo imakhala pa phindu lawo.
32 Kunena zoona, kwa iwowo sindiwe kanthu konse, ndiwe munthu wamba chabe womangoyimba nyimbo zachikondi ndi liwu lokoma poyimba zeze. Kumva amamva mawu ako koma sawagwiritsa ntchito.
33 “Koma zonsezi zikadzachitika, ndipo zidzachitika ndithu, pamenepo adzadziwa kuti mneneri anali pakati pawo.”
