< Ezekiel 29 >

1 In the tenth year, on the twelfth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Pa tsiku lakhumi ndi chiwiri la mwezi wakhumi, chaka chakhumi, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, tembenukira kwa Farao, mfumu ya Igupto, ndipo unenere modzudzula mfumuyo pamodzi ndi dziko lake.
3 Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it myself.’
Uyiwuze mfumuyo kuti, ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Ndine mdani wako, iwe Farao mfumu ya Igupto, iwe ngʼona yayikulu yogona pakati pa mitsinje yako. Umanena kuti, ‘Mtsinje wa Nailo ndi wanga; ndinadzipangira ndekha.’
4 But I will put hooks in your jaws and cause the fish of your streams to cling to your scales. I will haul you up out of your rivers, and all the fish of your streams will cling to your scales.
Koma ndidzakukola ndi mbedza mʼkamwa mwako ndipo nsomba za mʼmitsinje yako zidzakangamira ku mamba ako. Tsono ndidzakutulutsa mu mtsinje mwakomo pamodzi ndi nsomba zimene zakangamira ku mamba ako.
5 I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams. You will fall on the open field and will not be taken away or gathered for burial. I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air.
Ndidzakutaya ku chipululu, iwe pamodzi ndi nsomba zonse za mʼmitsinje yako. Udzagwera pamtetete kuthengo popanda munthu woti akutole kuti akayike maliro ako. Ndidzakusandutsa chakudya cha zirombo za pa dziko lapansi ndi mbalame za mlengalenga.
6 Then all the people of Egypt will know that I am the LORD. For you were only a staff of reeds to the house of Israel.
Motero aliyense amene amakhala mu Igupto adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova. “‘Iwe unakhala ngati ndodo yabango ku Aisraeli.
7 When Israel took hold of you with their hands, you splintered, tearing all their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke, and their backs were wrenched.
Pamene anakugwira unathethekera mʼmanja mwawo ndi kucheka mapewa awo. Pamene anakutsamira, unathyoka ndipo misana yawo inagwedezeka.
8 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will bring a sword against you and cut off from you man and beast.
“‘Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, ndikubweretsera lupanga kuti lidzaphe anthu pamodzi ndi nyama zomwe.
9 The land of Egypt will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it,’
Dziko la Igupto lidzasanduka lopanda anthu. Pamenepo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova. “‘Popeza iwe unati, ‘Mtsinje wa Nailo ndi wanga; ndinawupanga ndine,’
10 therefore I am against you and against your rivers. I will turn the land of Egypt into a ruin, a desolate wasteland from Migdol to Syene, and as far as the border of Cush.
nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndikudana nawe pamodzi ndi mitsinje yakoyo, ndipo ndidzasandutsa dziko la Igupto bwinja kuyambira chipululu cha Migidoli mpaka ku mzinda wa Asiwani, kukafika ku malire a Kusi.
11 No foot of man or beast will pass through, and it will be uninhabited for forty years.
Palibe phazi la munthu kapena la nyama limene lidzapondepo. Kudzakhala kopanda anthu kwa zaka makumi anayi.
12 I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and her cities will lie desolate for forty years among the ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
Ndidzasandutsa dziko la Igupto kukhala chipululu ngati zipululu za mayiko ena. Kwa zaka makumi anayi mizinda yakenso idzakhala yopasuka pakati pa mizinda yopasuka. Ndipo ndidzathamangitsira Aigupto pakati pa mitundu ya anthu ndi kuwabalalitsira mʼmayiko.
13 For this is what the Lord GOD says: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations to which they were scattered.
“‘Komabe Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pakutha pa zaka makumi anayi ndidzasonkhanitsa Aigupto onse kuchokera ku mayiko amene ndinawabalalitsirako.
14 I will restore Egypt from captivity and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
Ndidzachotsa Aiguptowo ku ukapolo ndipo ndidzawabwezera ku Patirosi kumene anachokera. Kumeneko iwo adzakhala ufumu wotsika.
15 Egypt will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the nations. For I will diminish Egypt so that it will never again rule over the nations.
Udzakhala ufumu wotsika kwambiri kupambana maufumu ena onse ndipo sudzadzitukumula pakati pa mitundu ina. Ndidzawufowoketsa kwambiri kotero kuti sudzathanso kulamulira mitundu ya anthu.
16 Egypt will never again be an object of trust for the house of Israel, but will remind them of their iniquity in turning to the Egyptians. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
Aisraeli sadzadaliranso Aigupto. Koma kuti chilango chawo chidzawakumbutsa tchimo lawo lija lofunafuna thandizo kuchokera ku Igupto. Pamenepo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Ambuye Yehova.’”
17 In the twenty-seventh year, on the first day of the first month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba, chaka cha 27, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, kale Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni inagwiritsa ntchito ankhondo ake kukathira nkhondo mzinda wa Turo, mpaka munthu aliyense anachita dazi chifukwa chosenza katundu, ndipo ananyuka pa phewa. Komabe ngakhale iyeyo, kapena gulu lake lankhondo sanaphulepo kanthu pa ntchito yonse imene anayigwira polimbana ndi mzindawo.
19 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seize its spoil, and remove its plunder. This will be the wages for his army.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, Ine ndidzapereka Igupto kwa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni, ndipo iyo idzatenga chuma chake ndi kuchifunkha ngati malipiro a gulu lake lankhondo.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his labor, because it was done for Me, declares the Lord GOD.
Ndamupatsa Nebukadinezara Igupto ngati mphotho ya kulimbika kwake chifukwa iyo ndi gulu lake lankhondo anandigwirira ntchito, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
21 In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth to speak among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
“Pa nthawi imeneyo ndidzapereka mphamvu yatsopano pa Aisraeli, ndipo ndidzatsekula pakamwa pako, iwe, Ezekieli kuti uthe kuyankhula pakati pawo. Pamenepo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
