Ezekiel 26
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Pa chaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi, tsiku loyamba la mwezi, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken, the gate of the peoples. She has turned around to me. I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste,
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, anthu a ku Turo ananyogodola Yerusalemu kuti ‘Hii! Uja amene anali chipata choloweramo anthu a mitundu ina wawonongeka. Zitseko zake zatsekukira ife. Tidzalemera popeza wasanduka bwinja.’
3 therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
Nʼchifukwa chake, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzakulangani, inu anthu a ku Turo. Ndidzakuyitanirani anthu a mitundu ina kuti adzakulangeni monga momwe mafunde amawombera pa Nyanja.
4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.
Anthuwo adzawononga makoma a Turo ndi kugwetsa nsanja zake. Ndidzapala dothi lake ndipo ndidzamusandutsa thanthwe losalala.
5 She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken it, says the lord Jehovah. And she shall become a spoil to the nations,
Udzakhala poyanikapo makoka pakati pa nyanja. Ine Ambuye Yehova ndayankhula zimenezo. Udzasanduka chofunkha cha anthu a mitundu ina.
6 and her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the sword. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Anthu okhala ku mtunda adzasakazidwa ndi lupanga. Pamenepo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
7 For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring upon Tyre, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and many people.
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Iwe Turo, ndidzakubweretsera Nebukadinezara, mfumu ya ku Babuloni mfumu ya mafumu, kuchokera kumpoto pamodzi ndi akavalo ndiponso magaleta, anthu okwera pa akavalo ndi gulu lalikulu la ankhondo.
8 He shall kill thy daughters in the field with the sword. And he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and raise up the buckler against thee.
Anthu okhala ku mtunda adzawapha ndi lupanga. Adzapanga mitumbira yankhondo ndi kukukwezera zishango kuti alimbane nawe.
9 And he shall set his battering engines against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
Adzagwetsa makoma ako ndi zida zogumulira khoma ndi kugwetsa nsanja zako ndi nkhwangwa zake.
10 Because of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee. Thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city in which a breach is made.
Akavalo ake adzakhala ochuluka kwambiri kotero kuti adzakukwirira ndi fumbi lawo. Makoma ako adzagwedezeka ndi mdidi wa akavalo, ngolo ndi magaleta pamene iye adzalowa pa zipata monga mmene amalowera mu mzinda umene makoma ake agwetsedwa.
11 With the hoofs of his horses he shall tread down all thy streets. He shall kill thy people with the sword, and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground.
Akavalo ake adzapondaponda mʼmisewu yako yonse ndi ziboda zawo. Adzapha anthu ako ndi lupanga. Mizati yako yolimba idzagwetsedwa.
12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise. And they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses, and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the waters.
Iwo adzafunkha chuma chako ndipo adzalanda zinthu zako za malonda. Adzagwetsa makoma ako ndi kuwononga nyumba zako zabwino. Adzaponya miyala yako, matabwa ako ndi dothi lako mʼnyanja.
13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease, and the sound of thy harps shall no more be heard.
Choncho ndidzathetsa phokoso la nyimbo zanu, ndipo kulira kwa apangwe ako sikudzamvekanso.
14 And I will make thee a bare rock; thou shall be a place for the spreading of nets. Thou shall be built no more, for I Jehovah have spoken it, says the lord Jehovah.
Ndidzakusandutsa thanthwe losalala, ndipo udzakhala malo woyanikapo makoka a nsomba. Sudzamangidwanso, pakuti Ine Yehova ndayankhula, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
15 Thus says the lord Jehovah to Tyre: Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikukuwuza, iwe mzinda wa Turo, kuti zilumba zidzagwedezeka pakumva za kugwa kwako ndiponso poona anthu opweteka akubuwula ndipo anthu akuphedwa pakati pako.
16 Then all the rulers of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lie aside their robes, and strip off their broidered garments. They shall clothe themselves with trembling. They shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be astonished at thee.
Pamenepo mafumu a mʼmbali mwa nyanja adzatsika pa mipando yawo yaufumu. Adzayika pambali mikanjo yawo ndi kuvala zovala zawo zamakaka. Adzachita mantha ndipo adzakhala pansi akunjenjemera kosalekeza. Adzathedwa nzeru poona zimene zakugwera.
17 And they shall take up a lamentation over thee, and say to thee, How thou are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city that was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who dwelt there!
Pamenepo adzayimba nyimbo yokudandaula ndipo adzati kwa iwe: “‘Nʼkuchita kuwonongeka chotere, iwe mzinda wotchuka, wodzaza ndi anthu a ku nyanja! Unali wamphamvu pa nyanja, iwe ndi nzika zako; unkaopseza anthu onse amene ankakhala kumeneko.
18 Now the isles shall tremble in the day of thy fall. Yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be dismayed at thy departure.
Tsopano mayiko a mʼmbali mwa nyanja akunjenjemera chifukwa cha kugwa kwako; okhala pa zilumba nawonso agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu chifukwa cha kugwa kwako.’
19 For thus says the lord Jehovah: When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and the great waters shall cover thee,
“Mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova ndi awa: Ndidzakusandutsa bwinja, ngati mizinda imene anthu sangathe kukhalamo. Ndidzakuphimba ndi madzi ozama a mʼnyanja, madzi amphamvu woti akumize.
20 then I will bring thee down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make thee to dwell in the nether parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that thou not be inhabited. And I will set glory in the land of the living.
Ndidzakugwetsa pansi kuti ukhale pamodzi ndi anthu amvulazakale amene akutsikira ku manda. Ine ndidzakusunga ku dzenjeko ngati ku bwinja losiyidwa kalekale, pamodzi ndi anthu amene anafa kale motero sudzabwererako kukhala pakati pa anthu amoyo.
21 I will make thee a horror, and thou shall no more have any being. Though thou be sought for, yet thou shall never be found again, says the lord Jehovah.
Ine ndidzakuthetsa mochititsa mantha, ndipo sudzakhalaponso. Anthu adzakufunafuna, koma sudzapezekanso, akutero Ambuye Yehova.”
