Ezekiel 5
1 And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, using it like a haircutter's blade, and making it go over your head and the hair of your chin: and take scales for separating the hair by weight.
Tsiku lina Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, tsopano tenga lupanga lakuthwa ndipo uligwiritse ntchito ngati lumo lometera. Umete tsitsi ndi ndevu zako. Kenaka utenge sikelo ndipo ugawe tsitsilo patatu.
2 You are to have a third part burned with fire inside the town, when the days of the attack are ended; and a third part you are to take and give blows with the sword round about it; and give a third part for the wind to take away, and let loose a sword after them.
Kuzinga mzinda kuja kukatha, chimodzi cha zigawo zitatu za tsitsilo uchitenthe pakati pa mzinda. Chigawo chachiwiri uchiduledule ndi lupanga, poyenda muzungulire mzinda wonsewo. Chigawo chachitatu uchimwazire ku mphepo, ndidzachitsata nditasolola lupanga.
3 And take from them a small number of hairs, folding them in your skirts.
Koma utengeko tsitsi pangʼono, ulimange mu mpindiro wa mkanjo wako.
4 And again take some of these and put them in the fire, burning them up in the fire; and say to all the children of Israel,
Pa tsitsi limeneli utapepo lina, uliponye pa moto ndi kulitentha. Moto udzayambira pamenepo mpaka ku nyumba yonse ya Israeli.”
5 This is what the Lord has said: This is Jerusalem: I have put her among the nations, and countries are round her on every side;
Ambuye Yehova akunena kuti, “Uyu ndi Yerusalemu amene ndamuyika pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ndipo mayiko onse amuzungulira.
6 And she has gone against my orders by doing evil more than the nations, and against my rules more than the countries round her: for they have given up my orders, and as for my rules, they have not gone in the way of them.
Koma anthu a Yerusalemu aphwanya malamulo anga pochita zoyipa kuposa anthu a mitundu ina. Iwo anandipandukira kupambana anthu ena amene awazungulira. Iwo anakana malamulo anga ndipo sanasunge malangizo anga.
7 For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have been more uncontrolled than the nations round about you, and have not been guided by my rules or kept my orders, but have kept the orders of the nations round about you;
“Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti: Popeza mwakhala osamvera kupambana anthu a mitundu ina amene akuzungulirani, popeza simunatsate malamulo anga kapena kusunga malangizo anga, mʼmalo mwake mwakhala mukutsata makhalidwe a anthu a mitundu ina amene akuzungulirani.
8 For this cause the Lord has said: See, I, even I, am against you; and I will be judging among you before the eyes of the nations.
“Tsono Ambuye Yehova akuti: Ine mwini ndikutsutsana nawe, Yerusalemu, choncho Ine ndidzakulangani. Ine ndidzakulangani anthu a mitundu ina akuona.
9 And I will do in you what I have not done and will not do again, because of all your disgusting ways.
Chifukwa cha ntchito zanu zonyansa ndidzakulangani ndi chilango chimene sindinakulangeni nacho nʼkale lomwe ndipo sindidzakulangani ndi chofanana nacho mʼtsogolomo.
10 For this cause fathers will take their sons for food among you, and sons will make a meal of their fathers; and I will be judge among you, and all the rest of you I will send away to every wind.
Tsono pakati panu makolo adzadya ana awo, ndipo ana adzadya makolo awo. Ndidzakulanga ndipo otsala onse ndidzawabalalitsa ku mphepo zonse zinayi.
11 For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have made my holy place unclean with all your hated things and all your disgusting ways, you will become disgusting to me; my eye will have no mercy and I will have no pity.
Ndithu, pali Ine, akutero Ambuye Yehova Wamoyo, pakuti mwayipitsa Nyumba yanga ndi mafano ano oyipa ndi miyambo yanu yonyansa, Inenso ndidzakulangani. Sindidzakulekererani kapena kukumverani chisoni.
12 A third of you will come to death from disease, wasting away among you through need of food; a third will be put to the sword round about you; and a third I will send away to every wind, letting loose a sword after them.
Chimodzi mwa zigawo zitatu za anthu ako chidzafa ndi mliri, kapena chidzawonongeka ndi njala; chigawo china chidzaphedwa ndi lupanga kunja kwa mzinda, ndipo chigawo china ndidzachibalalitsira ku mphepo zonse zinayi pochita kuchithamangitsa.
13 So my wrath will be complete and my passion will come to rest on them; and they will be certain that I the Lord have given the word of decision, when my wrath against them is complete.
“Ndi mmene udzachitire mkwiyo wanga. Ndikadzatsiriza kuwalanga, pamenepo mtima wanga udzakhala pansi. Adzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova ndinawayankhula mwa nsanje ndikadzawalanga.
14 And I will make you a waste and a name of shame among the nations round about you, in the eyes of everyone who goes by.
“Ndidzakusandutsa iwe bwinja ndi chinthu chonyozeka pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina amene akuzungulira, ndi kwa onse odutsapo
15 And you will be a name of shame and a cause of bitter words, an example and a wonder to the nations round about you, when I give effect to my judging among you in wrath and in passion and in burning protests: I the Lord have said it:
Udzakhala chinthu chonyozeka ndi chonyogodoledwa. Udzakhala chenjezo ndi chinthu choopsa kwa anthu a mitundu ina amene akuzungulira ndikadzakulanga mokwiya ndi mwaukali ndi kugamula mlandu wako mokwiya. Ine Yehova ndayankhula.
16 When I send on you the evil arrows of disease, causing destruction, which I will send to put an end to you; and, further, I will take away your necessary food.
Pamene ndidzakulasa ndi njala yolasa ngati mivi yoopsa ndi yosakaza ndidzatero nʼcholinga choti ndikuwonongeni. Ndidzagwetsa njalayo pa iwe mowirikiza pochepetsa chakudya chako cha tsiku ndi tsiku.
17 And I will send on you need of food and evil beasts, and they will be a cause of loss to you; and disease and violent death will go through you; and I will send the sword on you: I the Lord have said it.
Ndidzatumiza njala ndi zirombo za kuthengo, ndipo zidzakulanda ana ako. Mliri ndi kuphana zidzakhala pakati pako, ndipo ndidzakubweretsera nkhondo. Ine Yehova ndayankhula.”
