< Ezekiel 32 >

1 And it happened that, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wa khumi ndi chiwiri, chaka chakhumi ndi chiwiri, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him: You are like the lion of the Gentiles, and like the dragon that is in the sea. And you brandished a horn among your rivers, and you disturbed the waters with your feet, and you trampled upon their rivers.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu imba nyimbo ya maliro a Farao mfumu ya Igupto ndipo uyiwuze kuti, “Iwe umadziyesa ngati mkango pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. Koma iwe uli ngati ngʼona mʼnyanja. Umakhuvula mʼmitsinje yako, kuvundula madzi ndi mapazi ako ndi kudetsa madzi mʼmitsinje.
3 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: I will spread my net over you, with the multitude of many peoples, and I will draw you into my dragnet.
“Tsono Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Pogwiritsa ntchito gulu la anthu a mitundu yambiri, ndidzakuponyera khoka langa ndi kukugwira mu ukonde wanga.
4 And I will throw you upon the land. I will cast you upon the surface of the field. And I will cause all the birds of the air to live upon you. And I will satiate the beasts of the entire earth with you.
Ndidzakuponya ku mtunda ndi kukutayira pansi. Ndidzabweretsa mbalame zamumlengalenga kuti zidzatere pa iwe, ndipo zirombo zonse za dziko lapansi zidzakudya.
5 And I will place your flesh upon the mountains. And I will fill up your hills with your decaying flesh.
Ndidzayanika mnofu wako pa mapiri ndipo zigwa zidzadzaza ndi zotsalira zako.
6 And I will irrigate the earth with your rotting blood upon the mountains. And the valleys will be filled with you.
Ndidzanyowetsa dziko ndi magazi ako, mpaka kumapiri komwe, ndipo mitsinje idzadzaza ndi mnofu wako.
7 And I will cover heaven, when you will have been extinguished. And I will cause its stars to grow dark. I will shroud the sun with gloom, and the moon will not give her light.
Ndikadzakuwononga, ndidzaphimba miyamba ndikudetsa nyenyezi zake. Ndidzaphimba dzuwa ndi mtambo, ndipo mwezi sudzawala.
8 I will cause all the lights of heaven to grieve over you. And I will bring darkness upon your land, says the Lord God, when your wounded will have fallen in the midst of the land, says the Lord God.
Zowala zonse zamumlengalenga ndidzazizimitsa; ndidzachititsa mdima pa dziko lako, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
9 And I will provoke the heart of many peoples to anger, when I will have led in your destruction among the Gentiles, over the lands that you have not known.
Ndidzasautsa mitima ya anthu a mitundu yambiri pamene ndidzakupititsa ku ukapolo pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ku mayiko amene iwe sunawadziwe.
10 And I will cause many peoples to be stupefied over you. And their kings will be afraid, with great horror, over you, when my sword will begin to fly above their faces. And suddenly, they will be struck with astonishment, each one concerning his own life, on the day of their ruination.
Ine ndidzachititsa kuti anthu a mitundu yambiri adabwe nawe, ndipo mafumu awo adzanjenjemera ndi mantha aakulu chifukwa cha iwe pamene ndidzaonetsa lupanga langa pamaso pawo. Pa nthawi ya kugwa kwako, aliyense wa iwo adzanjenjemera moyo wake wonse.
11 For thus says the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylon will come to you.
“‘Pakuti ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova kuti, “‘Lupanga la mfumu ya ku Babuloni lidzabwera kudzalimbana nawe.
12 By the swords of the strong, I will cast down your multitude. All these nations are invincible, and they will lay waste to the arrogance of Egypt, and so its multitude will be destroyed.
Ndidzachititsa gulu lako lankhondo kuti ligwe ndi lupanga la anthu amphamvu, anthu ankhanza kwambiri pakati pa mitundu yonse ya anthu. Adzathetsa kunyada kwa Igupto, ndipo gulu lake lonse la nkhondo lidzagonjetsedwa.
13 And I will perish all its cattle, which were above the many waters. And the foot of man will no longer disturb them, and the hoof of cattle will no longer trouble them.
Ndidzawononga ziweto zake zonse zokhala mʼmbali mwa madzi ambiri. Ku madziko sikudzaonekanso phazi la munthu kapena kudetsedwa ndi phazi la ziweto.
14 Then I will cause their waters to be very pure, and their rivers to be like oil, says the Lord God,
Pambuyo pake ndidzayeretsa madzi ake ndipo mitsinje yake idzayenda mokometsera ngati mafuta, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
15 when I will have set the land of Egypt in desolation. And the land will be deprived of her plenitude, when I will have struck all its inhabitants. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
Ndikadzasandutsa dziko la Igupto kukhala bwinja; ndikadzawononga dziko lonse ndi kukantha onse okhala kumeneko, adzadziwa kuti ndine Yehova.’
16 This is the lamentation. And they shall lament it. The daughters of the Gentiles shall lament it. They shall lament it over Egypt and over its multitude, says the Lord God.”
“Mawu angawa adzakhala nyimbo ya maliro. Ana a akazi amitundu ya anthu adzayimba, kuyimbira Igupto ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo, akutero Ambuye Yehova.”
17 And it happened that, in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying:
Pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi woyamba, chaka cha khumi ndi chiwiri, Yehova anayankhula kuti:
18 “Son of man, sing mournfully over the multitude of Egypt. And cast her down, both her and the daughters of the robust nations, to the lowest part of the earth, with those who descend into the pit.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, lirira gulu lankhondo la Igupto ndipo uwalowetse pamodzi ndi anthu ena amphamvu a mayiko ena ku dziko la anthu akufa.
19 Whom do you exceed in beauty? Descend and sleep with the uncircumcised!
Ufunse kuti, ‘Ndani amene akukuposa kukongola? Tsikirani ku manda ndi kukhala pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe.’
20 They will fall by the sword in the midst of the slain. The sword has been given. They have dragged her down, with all her people.
Aigupto adzagwa pakati pa amene akuphedwa ndi lupanga. Lupanga ndi losololedwa kale. Iye adzaphedwa pamodzi ndi gulu lake lankhondo.
21 The most powerful among the strong will speak to him from the midst of hell, those who descended with his helpers and who went to sleep uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)
Mʼkati mwa manda atsogoleri amphamvu pamodzi ndi ogwirizana nawo azidzakambirana za Igupto nʼkumati, ‘Afika kuno anthu osachita mdulidwe aja! Ndi awa agona apawa, ophedwa pa nkhondo.’ (Sheol h7585)
22 Assur is in that place, with all his multitude. Their graves are all around him: all of the slain and those who fell by the sword.
“Asiriya ali komweko ndipo ankhondo ake onse ali mʼmanda omuzungulira. Onsewo anaphedwa pa nkhondo.
23 Their graves have been placed in the lowest parts of the pit. And his multitude was stationed on all sides of his grave: all of the slain, and those who fell by the sword, who formerly spread terror in the land of the living.
Manda awo ali kumalo ozama a dzenje, ndipo ankhondo ake azungulira manda ake. Onse amene anaopseza dziko la anthu amoyo aphedwa, agwa ndi lupanga.
24 Elam is in that place, with all his multitude, on all sides of his grave, all those who were slain or who fell by the sword, who descended uncircumcised to the lowest part of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living. And they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit.
“Elamu ali komweko ndipo ankhondo ake ali mʼmanda omuzungulira. Onsewa anaphedwa pa nkhondo, natsikira ku manda ali osachita mdulidwe. Iwowa kale ankaopseza anthu pa dziko lapansi. Tsopano akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi amene ali mʼmanda.
25 They have appointed him a place to lie among all his people, in the midst of the slain. Their graves are all around him. All these are uncircumcised and were slain by the sword. For they spread their terror in the land of the living, and they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit. They have been stationed in the midst of the slain.
Amukonzera pogona pakati pa anthu ophedwa, pamodzi ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo litazungulira manda ake. Onsewo ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe ophedwa ndi lupanga. Paja anthuwa ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu a moyo. Koma tsopano akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi amene ali mʼmanda. Iwo ayikidwa pakati pa anthu ophedwa.
26 Meshech and Tubal are in that place, with all their multitude. Their graves are all around him: all these are uncircumcised, and they were slain and fell by the sword. For they spread their terror in the land of the living.
“Mesaki ndi Tubala ali komweko, pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo litazungulira manda awo. Onsewo ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, ophedwa ndi lupanga. Paja ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo.
27 But they shall not sleep with the strong, and with those who also fell uncircumcised, who descended to hell with their weapons, and who placed their swords under their heads, while their iniquities were in their bones. For they were the terror of the strong in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
Iwo sanayikidwe mwaulemu ngati ankhondo amphamvu amakedzana, amene anatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa ndi zida zawo zomwe za nkhondo. Malupanga awo anawayika ku mitu yawo, ndipo zishango zawo anaphimba mafupa awo. Kale anthu amphamvu amenewa ankaopsa dziko la anthu amoyo. (Sheol h7585)
28 Therefore, you also will be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and you will sleep with those who were slain by the sword.
“Iwenso Farao, udzaphwanyidwa ndi kuyikidwa pakati pa anthu osachita mdulidwe, amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga.
29 Idumea is in that place, with her kings and all her commanders, who with their army have been given to those who were slain by the sword. And they have slept with the uncircumcised and with those who descend into the pit.
“Edomu ali kumeneko pamodzi ndi mafumu ake ndi akalonga ake onse. Ngakhale anali amphamvu, koma anayikidwa. Ayikidwa pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, pamodzi ndi iwo amene akutsikira ku dzenje.
30 All the leaders of the north are in that place, with all the hunters, who were brought down with the slain, fearful and confounded in their strength, who have gone to sleep uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword. And they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit.
“Akalonga onse akumpoto pamodzi ndi anthu onse a ku Sidoni ali kumeneko. Anatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa mwamanyazi ngakhale anali owopsa ndi mphamvu zawo. Iwo akugona osachita mdulidwe pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi iwo amene anatsikira kale ku manda.
31 Pharaoh saw them, and he was consoled over all his multitude, which was slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his army, says the Lord God.
“Farao ndi gulu lake lankhondo akadzawaona iwowa adzathunza mtima pokumbukira kuchuluka kwa gulu lake lankhondo limene linaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
32 For I have spread my terror in the land of the living, and he has gone to sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord God.”
Paja ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo. Koma Faraoyo pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse adzayikidwa pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”
