Ezekiel 26
1 In the eleventh month of the twelfth year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD 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 of Jerusalem, ‘Aha! The gate to the nations is broken; it has swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will be filled,’
“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 this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, O Tyre, I am against you, and I will raise up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.
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 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil 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 will become a place to spread nets in the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. She will become plunder for the nations,
Udzakhala poyanikapo makoka pakati pa nyanja. Ine Ambuye Yehova ndayankhula zimenezo. Udzasanduka chofunkha cha anthu a mitundu ina.
6 and the villages on her mainland will be slain by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’
Anthu okhala ku mtunda adzasakazidwa ndi lupanga. Pamenepo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
7 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops.
“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 will slaughter the villages of your mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp to your walls, and raise his shields against you.
Anthu okhala ku mtunda adzawapha ndi lupanga. Adzapanga mitumbira yankhondo ndi kukukwezera zishango kuti alimbane nawe.
9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his axes.
Adzagwetsa makoma ako ndi zida zogumulira khoma ndi kugwetsa nsanja zako ndi nkhwangwa zake.
10 His multitude of horses will cover you in their dust. When he enters your gates as an army entering a breached city, your walls will shake from the noise of cavalry, wagons, and chariots.
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 The hooves of his horses will trample all your streets. He will slaughter your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground.
Akavalo ake adzapondaponda mʼmisewu yako yonse ndi ziboda zawo. Adzapha anthu ako ndi lupanga. Mizati yako yolimba idzagwetsedwa.
12 They will plunder your wealth and pillage your merchandise. They will demolish your walls, tear down your beautiful homes, and throw your stones and timber and soil into the water.
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 So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the music of your lyres will no longer be heard.
Choncho ndidzathetsa phokoso la nyimbo zanu, ndipo kulira kwa apangwe ako sikudzamvekanso.
14 I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’
Ndidzakusandutsa thanthwe losalala, ndipo udzakhala malo woyanikapo makoka a nsomba. Sudzamangidwanso, pakuti Ine Yehova ndayankhula, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
15 This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst?
“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 All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled over you.
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 Then they will lament for you, saying, “How you have perished, O city of renown inhabited by seafaring men— she who was powerful on the sea, along with her people, who imposed terror on all peoples!
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 coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall; the islands in the sea are dismayed by your demise.”’
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 this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city like other deserted cities, and when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,
“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 you down with those who descend to the Pit, to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the earth below like the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or set in splendor 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 you an object of horror, and you will be no more. You will be sought, but will never be found,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
Ine ndidzakuthetsa mochititsa mantha, ndipo sudzakhalaponso. Anthu adzakufunafuna, koma sudzapezekanso, akutero Ambuye Yehova.”
