Ezekieli 7
1 Yehova anandipatsa uthenga uwu kuti,
Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuwuza dziko la Israeli kuti: “Chimaliziro! Chimaliziro chafika ku ngodya zinayi za dziko.
"You, son of man, say, 'Thus says Jehovah to the land of Israel: An end has come. The end has come on the four quarters 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.
Now is the end on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
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.”
My eye shall not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Jehovah.'"
5 “Zimene ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova ndi izi: “Chiwonongeko! Chiwonongeko chimene sichinamvekepo! Taona chikubwera!
"Thus says Jehovah: 'A disaster, a unique disaster; look, it comes.
6 Chimaliziro chafika! Chimaliziro chafika! Chiwonongeko chakugwera. Taona chafika!
An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; look, it comes.
7 Inu anthu okhala mʼdziko, chiwonongeko chakugwerani. Nthawi yafika, tsiku layandikira; tsiku la chisokonezo osati la chimwemwe pa mapiri.
Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains.
8 Ine ndili pafupi kukukwiyirani, ndipo ukali wanga udzathera pa iwe; Ine ndidzakuweruza molingana ndi machitidwe ako ndiponso ndidzakulanga chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa.
Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
9 Ine sindidzakumvera chisoni kapena kukuleka. Ndidzakulanga malingana ndi ntchito zako ndiponso chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa pakati pako.
My eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, Jehovah, do strike.
10 “Taona, tsikulo! Taona, lafika! Chiwonongeko chako chabwera. Ndodo yaphuka mphundu za maluwa. Kudzitama kwaphuka.
Look, the day, look, it comes: your doom is gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.'
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.
"Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There shall be nothing of value among them.
12 Nthawi yafika! Tsiku layandikira! Munthu wogula asakondwere ndipo wogulitsa asamve chisoni, popeza ukali wanga uli pa gulu lonse.
The time has come, the day draws near: do not let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.
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 not return to the seller while they live. For the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 “Lipenga lalira, ndipo zonse zakonzeka. Koma palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene akupita ku nkhondo, pakuti mkwiyo wanga uli pa gulu lonse.
They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.
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.
The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die with the sword: and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 Onse amene adzapulumuka ndi kumakakhala ku mapiri, azidzalira ngati nkhunda za ku zigwa. Aliyense azidzabuwula chifukwa cha machimo ake.
But those of those who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.
17 Dzanja lililonse lidzalefuka, ndipo bondo lililonse lidzalobodoka ngati madzi.
All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 Iwo adzavala ziguduli ndipo adzagwidwa ndi mantha. Adzakhala ndi nkhope zamanyazi ndipo mitu yawo adzameta mpala.
They shall also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.
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.
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
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 the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things. Therefore I will render it an unclean thing to them.
21 Ndidzazipereka kwa alendo kuti azifunkhe. Anthu oyipa a dziko lapansi adzazilanda ndi kudziyipitsa.
I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
22 Ine ndidzawalekerera anthuwo ndipo adzayipitsa malo anga apamtima. Adzalowamo ngati mbala ndi kuyipitsamo.
My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.
23 “Konzani maunyolo, chifukwa dziko ladzaza ndi anthu opha anzawo ndipo mzinda wadzaza ndi chiwawa.
"Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24 Ndidzabweretsa mitundu ya anthu oyipitsitsa kuti idzalande nyumba zawo. Ndidzathetsa kunyada kwa anthu amphamvu pamene anthu akunja adzalowa mʼmalo awo achipembedzo ndi kuyipitsamo.
Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.
25 Nkhawa ikadzawafikira adzafunafuna mtendere koma osawupeza.
Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and 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.
Disaster shall come upon disaster, and rumor shall follow rumor; and they shall seek a vision 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 king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgments will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
