Ezekieli 7
1 Yehova anandipatsa uthenga uwu kuti,
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, you, son of man, say,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuwuza dziko la Israeli kuti: “Chimaliziro! Chimaliziro chafika ku ngodya zinayi za dziko.
Thus says the Lord; An end is come to the land of Israel, the end is come on the four corners of the land.
3 Chimaliziro chili pa iwe tsopano. Mkwiyo wanga ndidzawuthira pa iwe. Ndidzakuweruza molingana ndi machitidwe ako ndi kukulanga chifukwa cha zonyansa zako.
The end is come on you,
4 Ine sindidzakumvera chisoni kapena kukuleka. Ndidzakulanga ndithu chifukwa cha ntchito zako zoyipa komanso chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa imene ili pakati pako. Pamenepo udzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn near, not with tumult, nor with pangs.
5 “Zimene ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova ndi izi: “Chiwonongeko! Chiwonongeko chimene sichinamvekepo! Taona chikubwera!
Now I will pour out my anger upon you near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on you: and I will judge you for your ways, and recompense upon you all your abominations.
6 Chimaliziro chafika! Chimaliziro chafika! Chiwonongeko chakugwera. Taona chafika!
Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike [you].
7 Inu anthu okhala mʼdziko, chiwonongeko chakugwerani. Nthawi yafika, tsiku layandikira; tsiku la chisokonezo osati la chimwemwe pa mapiri.
Now the end [is come] to you, and I will send [judgment] upon you: and I will take vengeance on your ways, and will recompense all your abominations upon you.
8 Ine ndili pafupi kukukwiyirani, ndipo ukali wanga udzathera pa iwe; Ine ndidzakuweruza molingana ndi machitidwe ako ndiponso ndidzakulanga chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa.
Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your way upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
9 Ine sindidzakumvera chisoni kapena kukuleka. Ndidzakulanga malingana ndi ntchito zako ndiponso chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa pakati pako.
For thus says the Lord; Behold, the end is come.
10 “Taona, tsikulo! Taona, lafika! Chiwonongeko chako chabwera. Ndodo yaphuka mphundu za maluwa. Kudzitama kwaphuka.
Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed,
11 Chiwawa chasanduka ndodo yowakwapulira chifukwa cha kuyipa kwawo. Palibe mwa anthu amenewo amene adzatsale. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa unyinji wawo. Palibiretu ndipo sipadzapezeka munthu wowalira maliro.
pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and [that] not with tumult, nor with haste.
12 Nthawi yafika! Tsiku layandikira! Munthu wogula asakondwere ndipo wogulitsa asamve chisoni, popeza ukali wanga uli pa gulu lonse.
The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn.
13 Wogulitsa sadzazipezanso zinthu zimene anagulitsa kwa wina chinkana onse awiri akanali ndi moyo, pakuti chilango chidzagwera onsewo ndipo sichingasinthike. Chifukwa cha machimo awo, palibe aliyense amene adzapulumutsa moyo wake.
For the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye [of hope] to his life.
14 “Lipenga lalira, ndipo zonse zakonzeka. Koma palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene akupita ku nkhondo, pakuti mkwiyo wanga uli pa gulu lonse.
Sound you the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together.
15 Ku bwalo kuli kumenyana ndipo mʼkati muli mliri ndi njala. Anthu okhala ku midzi adzafa ndi nkhondo. Iwo okhala ku mizinda adzafa ndi mliri ndi njala.
[There shall be] war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city.
16 Onse amene adzapulumuka ndi kumakakhala ku mapiri, azidzalira ngati nkhunda za ku zigwa. Aliyense azidzabuwula chifukwa cha machimo ake.
But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will kill all [the rest], every one for his iniquities.
17 Dzanja lililonse lidzalefuka, ndipo bondo lililonse lidzalobodoka ngati madzi.
All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture.
18 Iwo adzavala ziguduli ndipo adzagwidwa ndi mantha. Adzakhala ndi nkhope zamanyazi ndipo mitu yawo adzameta mpala.
And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, [even] upon every face, and baldness upon every head.
19 “Iwo adzataya siliva wawo mʼmisewu ndipo golide wawo adzakhala chinthu chonyansa. Siliva ndi golide wawo sizidzatha kuwapulumutsa pa tsiku la ukali wa Yehova. Chuma chawochi sichidzawathandiza kuthetsa njala, kapena kukhala okhuta, pakuti ndicho chinawagwetsa mʼmachimo.
Their silver shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities.
20 Iwo ankanyadira zodzikongoletsera zawo zamakaka ndipo ankazigwiritsa ntchito kupanga mafano awo onyansa ndi zonyansa zawo zina. Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndidzazisandutsa kukhala zowanyansa.
[As for] their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them.
21 Ndidzazipereka kwa alendo kuti azifunkhe. Anthu oyipa a dziko lapansi adzazilanda ndi kudziyipitsa.
And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them.
22 Ine ndidzawalekerera anthuwo ndipo adzayipitsa malo anga apamtima. Adzalowamo ngati mbala ndi kuyipitsamo.
And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them.
23 “Konzani maunyolo, chifukwa dziko ladzaza ndi anthu opha anzawo ndipo mzinda wadzaza ndi chiwawa.
And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity.
24 Ndidzabweretsa mitundu ya anthu oyipitsitsa kuti idzalande nyumba zawo. Ndidzathetsa kunyada kwa anthu amphamvu pamene anthu akunja adzalowa mʼmalo awo achipembedzo ndi kuyipitsamo.
And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled.
25 Nkhawa ikadzawafikira adzafunafuna mtendere koma osawupeza.
And [though] propitiation shall come, and [one] shall seek peace, yet there shall be none.
26 Tsoka lidzatsatana ndi tsoka linzake, ndipo mphekesera idzatsatana ndi mphekesera inzake. Iwo adzayesa kufuna masomphenya kuchokera kwa mneneri. Adzasowa ansembe owaphunzitsa malamulo, ndipo anthu akuluakulu sadzakhalanso ndi uphungu.
There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
27 Mfumu idzalira, kalonga adzagwidwa ndi mantha. Manja a anthu a mʼdzikomo azidzangonjenjemera ndi mantha. Ine ndidzawalanga molingana ndi machitidwe awo, ndipo ndidzawaweruza molingana ndi momwe anaweruzira anzawo.
The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgments will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
