Ezekieli 8
1 Tsiku lachisanu la mwezi wachisanu ndi chimodzi, mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chimodzi, ndinakhala mʼnyumba mwanga pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a ku Yuda. Tsono mphamvu za Ambuye Yehova zinandifikira.
Now it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell there upon me.
2 Nditayangʼana ndinangoona chinthu chooneka ngati munthu. Kuchokera pamene pamaoneka ngati chiwuno chake kumatsika mʼmunsi anali ngati moto, ndipo kuchokera mʼchiwuno kukwera mmwamba amaoneka mowala ngati mkuwa wonyezimira.
And I looked, and lo, a form having the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins downward, of fire; and from his loins upward, of a bright light, like the splendor of shining brass.
3 Iye anatambasula chinthu chooneka ngati dzanja ndipo anagwira tsitsi la pamutu panga. Nthawi yomweyo Mzimu unandikweza mlengalenga. Tsono ndikumachita ngati ndikuona Mulungu kutulo, Mzimu uja unapita nane ku Yerusalemu nundiyika pa khomo la chipata chamʼkati choyangʼana kumpoto. Kumeneko kunali fano limene limaputa mkwiyo wa Mulungu.
And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head. And the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me, in the visions of God, to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate, that looketh toward the north, where stood the idol of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
4 Kumeneko ndinaona ulemerero wa Mulungu wa Israeli ngati momwe ndinaonera mʼmasomphenya mʼchigwa muja.
And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain.
5 Tsono Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, tayangʼana kumpoto.” Choncho ndinayangʼana kumpoto ndipo ndinaona pa khomo la chipata pafupi ndi guwa lansembe ndinaona fano loputa mkwiyo wa Mulungu lija.
Then said he to me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes toward the north! And I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, northward from the gate of the altar was this idol of jealousy, at the entrance.
6 Ndipo Yehova anandifunsa kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi ukuona zimene akuchitazi, zonyansa zazikulu zimene Aisraeli akuchita kuno, zinthu zondichotsa Ine kumalo anga opatulika? Koma iwe udzaona zinthu zimene zili zonyansa kwambiri.”
And he said to me: Son of man, seest thou what they do? Great are the abominations which the house of Israel commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary. But thou shalt yet again see great abominations.
7 Kenaka Iye anandipititsa ku khomo lolowera ku bwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu. Nditayangʼanitsitsa ndinangoona dzenje pa khomapo.
And he brought me to the door of the court, and I looked, and behold, a hole in the wall.
8 Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, tsopano bowola pa khomapo.” Ndinabowoladi pa khomapo ndipo ndinapezapo khomo.
And he said to me, Son of man, break now through the wall. And when I had broken through the wall, behold, a door.
9 Ndipo Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Lowa, ndipo ona zinthu zonyansa zimene akuchita pamenepa.”
And he said to me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations which they practise here.
10 Motero Ine ndinalowa ndi kuyangʼana, ndipo ndinaona pa makoma onse zithunzi za zinthu zosiyanasiyana zokwawa pansi, za nyama zonyansa ndiponso za mafano onse amene Aisraeli ankapembedza.
So I went in and saw, and behold, every form of creeping things, and of abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.
11 Patsogolo pa zimenezi panayima akuluakulu makumi asanu ndi awiri a Aisraeli, ndipo Yaazaniya mwana wa Safani anali atayima pakati pawo. Aliyense wa iwo anali ndi chofukizira lubani mʼdzanja lake ndipo utsi wa fungo lokoma la lubani unkafuka.
And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, standing in the midst of them, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
12 Tsono Yehova anandifunsa kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi waona zimene akuluakulu a Aisraeli akuchita mu mdima, aliyense akupembedza fano lakelake mʼnyumbamo? Iwo akuti, ‘Yehova sakutiona; Yehova walisiya dziko!’
Then said he to me: Son of man, seest thou what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, each one in his image-chamber? For they say, “Jehovah seeth us not; Jehovah hath forsaken the land.”
13 Iye anandiwuzanso kuti, ‘Iwe udzawaonanso akuchita zinthu zonyansa kwambiri.’”
And he said to me, Thou shalt yet again see the great abominations which they practise.
14 Kenaka anapita nane pa khomo la ku khomo la chipata cha Nyumba ya Mulungu choyangʼana kumpoto, ndipo kumeneko ndinaona akazi ena atakhala pansi, akulira mulungu wawo wotchedwa Tamuzi.
Then he brought me to the entrance of the gate of the house of Jehovah, which was toward the north, and behold, there sat women, weeping for Thammuz.
15 Yehova anandifunsa kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi ukuziona zimenezi? Iwe udzaona zinthu zimene zili zonyansa kwambiri kuposa izi.”
And he said to me, Seest thou this, O son of man? Thou shalt yet again see greater abominations than these.
16 Kenaka Iye anapita nane mʼkati mwa bwalo la Nyumba ya Yehova. Kumeneko ku khomo lolowera ku Nyumba ya Yehova pakati pa khonde ndi guwa lansembe, panali amuna 25. Anafulatira Nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yehova ndipo nkhope zawo zinaloza kummawa, ndipo ankapembedza dzuwa choyangʼana kummawa.
And he brought me into the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and behold, at the entrance of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces toward the east; and they bowed themselves eastward toward the sun.
17 Yehova anandifunsa kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi waziona zimenezi? Kodi nʼchinthu chopepuka kuti anthu a ku Yuda azichita zonyansa zimene akuchitazi pano? Kodi afike mpaka pomafalitsa za ndewu mʼdziko lonse? Iwotu akuwutsa ukali wanga. Akundipsetsa mtima ndi zochita zawo!
And he said to me: Seest thou, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah, that they commit the abominations which they commit here, that they fill the land with violence, and continually provoke me to anger? And behold, they put the blanch to their nostrils.
18 Choncho Ine ndidzawalanga ndili wokwiya. Sindidzawamvera chisoni kapena kuwaleka. Ngakhale atandifuwulira mʼmakutu mwanga sindidzawamvera.”
Therefore will I also deal with them in fury; mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
