Ezekieli 5
1 Tsiku lina Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, tsopano tenga lupanga lakuthwa ndipo uligwiritse ntchito ngati lumo lometera. Umete tsitsi ndi ndevu zako. Kenaka utenge sikelo ndipo ugawe tsitsilo patatu.
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword, as a barber's razor shalt thou take it unto thee, and cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard; then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
2 Kuzinga mzinda kuja kukatha, chimodzi cha zigawo zitatu za tsitsilo uchitenthe pakati pa mzinda. Chigawo chachiwiri uchiduledule ndi lupanga, poyenda muzungulire mzinda wonsewo. Chigawo chachitatu uchimwazire ku mphepo, ndidzachitsata nditasolola lupanga.
A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, and smite it with the sword round about her; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Koma utengeko tsitsi pangʼono, ulimange mu mpindiro wa mkanjo wako.
Thou shalt also take thereof a few by number, and bind them in thy skirts.
4 Pa tsitsi limeneli utapepo lina, uliponye pa moto ndi kulitentha. Moto udzayambira pamenepo mpaka ku nyumba yonse ya Israeli.”
And of them again shalt thou take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; therefrom shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
5 Ambuye Yehova akunena kuti, “Uyu ndi Yerusalemu amene ndamuyika pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ndipo mayiko onse amuzungulira.
Thus saith the Lord GOD: This is Jerusalem! I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her.
6 Koma anthu a Yerusalemu aphwanya malamulo anga pochita zoyipa kuposa anthu a mitundu ina. Iwo anandipandukira kupambana anthu ena amene awazungulira. Iwo anakana malamulo anga ndipo sanasunge malangizo anga.
And she hath rebelled against Mine ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are round about her; for they have rejected Mine ordinances, and as for My statutes, they have not walked in them.
7 “Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti: Popeza mwakhala osamvera kupambana anthu a mitundu ina amene akuzungulirani, popeza simunatsate malamulo anga kapena kusunga malangizo anga, mʼmalo mwake mwakhala mukutsata makhalidwe a anthu a mitundu ina amene akuzungulirani.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have outdone the nations that are round about you, in that ye have not walked in My statutes, neither have kept Mine ordinances, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you;
8 “Tsono Ambuye Yehova akuti: Ine mwini ndikutsutsana nawe, Yerusalemu, choncho Ine ndidzakulangani. Ine ndidzakulangani anthu a mitundu ina akuona.
therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
9 Chifukwa cha ntchito zanu zonyansa ndidzakulangani ndi chilango chimene sindinakulangeni nacho nʼkale lomwe ndipo sindidzakulangani ndi chofanana nacho mʼtsogolomo.
And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
10 Tsono pakati panu makolo adzadya ana awo, ndipo ana adzadya makolo awo. Ndidzakulanga ndipo otsala onse ndidzawabalalitsa ku mphepo zonse zinayi.
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter unto all the winds.
11 Ndithu, pali Ine, akutero Ambuye Yehova Wamoyo, pakuti mwayipitsa Nyumba yanga ndi mafano ano oyipa ndi miyambo yanu yonyansa, Inenso ndidzakulangani. Sindidzakulekererani kapena kukumverani chisoni.
Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely, because thou hast defiled My sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall Mine eye spare, and I also will have no pity.
12 Chimodzi mwa zigawo zitatu za anthu ako chidzafa ndi mliri, kapena chidzawonongeka ndi njala; chigawo china chidzaphedwa ndi lupanga kunja kwa mzinda, ndipo chigawo china ndidzachibalalitsira ku mphepo zonse zinayi pochita kuchithamangitsa.
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and a third part I will scatter unto all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
13 “Ndi mmene udzachitire mkwiyo wanga. Ndikadzatsiriza kuwalanga, pamenepo mtima wanga udzakhala pansi. Adzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova ndinawayankhula mwa nsanje ndikadzawalanga.
Thus shall Mine anger spend itself, and I will satisfy My fury upon them, and I will be eased; and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them.
14 “Ndidzakusandutsa iwe bwinja ndi chinthu chonyozeka pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina amene akuzungulira, ndi kwa onse odutsapo
Moreover I will make thee an amazement and a reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 Udzakhala chinthu chonyozeka ndi chonyogodoledwa. Udzakhala chenjezo ndi chinthu choopsa kwa anthu a mitundu ina amene akuzungulira ndikadzakulanga mokwiya ndi mwaukali ndi kugamula mlandu wako mokwiya. Ine Yehova ndayankhula.
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury, and in furious rebukes; I the LORD have spoken it;
16 Pamene ndidzakulasa ndi njala yolasa ngati mivi yoopsa ndi yosakaza ndidzatero nʼcholinga choti ndikuwonongeni. Ndidzagwetsa njalayo pa iwe mowirikiza pochepetsa chakudya chako cha tsiku ndi tsiku.
when I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you; and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread;
17 Ndidzatumiza njala ndi zirombo za kuthengo, ndipo zidzakulanda ana ako. Mliri ndi kuphana zidzakhala pakati pako, ndipo ndidzakubweretsera nkhondo. Ine Yehova ndayankhula.”
and I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.'
