Ezekiel 12
1 The worde of the Lord also came vnto me, saying,
Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
2 Sonne of man, thou dwellest in the middes of a rebellious house, which haue eyes to see, and see not: they haue eares to heare, and heare not: for they are a rebellious house.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, ukukhala pakati pa anthu owukira, iwowo maso openyera ali nawo, koma sakuona ndipo makutu omvera ali nawo, koma sakumva chifukwa choti ndi anthu owukira.
3 Therefore thou sonne of man, prepare thy stuffe to goe into captiuitie, and goe foorth by day in their sight: and thou shalt passe from thy place to another place in their sight, if it be possible that they may consider it: for they are a rebellious house.
“Choncho, iwe mwana wa munthu, longedza katundu wako wopita naye ku ukapolo. Unyamuke nthawi yamasana iwo akuona. Uchite ngati wanyamuka kuchoka kumene ukukhala kupita ku dziko lachilendo iwowo akuona. Mwina adzamvetsetsa, paja ndi anthu aupandu.
4 Then shalt thou bring foorth thy stuffe by day in their sight as the stuffe of him that goeth into captiuitie: and thou shalt go forth at euen in their sight, as they that go foorth into captiuitie.
Utulutse katundu wako wopita naye ku ukapolo nthawi ya masana iwo akuona. Ndipo nthawi ya madzulo, iwo akuona, uchoke monga ngati ukupita ku ukapolo.
5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and cary out thereby.
Iwo akuona, ubowole pa khoma ndipo utulutsirepo katundu wako.
6 In their sight shalt thou beare it vpon thy shoulders, and carie it foorth in the darke: thou shalt couer thy face that thou see not the earth: for I haue set thee as a signe vnto the house of Israel.
Usenze katundu wako pa phewa iwo akuona, ndipo upite kunja ku mdima. Uphimbe nkhope yako kuti usaone pansi, pakuti ndakusandutsa iwe chizindikiro chochenjeza Aisraeli.”
7 And as I was commanded, so I brought forth my stuffe by day, as ye stuffe of one that goeth into captiuitie: and by night I digged through the wall with mine hand, and brought it forth in ye darke, and I bare it vpon my shoulder in their sight.
Choncho ine ndinachita monga momwe anandilamulira. Nthawi yamasana ndinatulutsa zinthu zanga nditazimanga ngati ndikupita ku ukapolo. Ndipo nthawi yamadzulo ndinabowola khoma ndi manja anga. Pamene chisisira chinkayamba, ndinasenza katundu wanga pa phewa kutuluka naye iwo akuona.
8 And in the morning came the word of the Lord vnto me, saying,
Mmawa mwake Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
9 Sonne of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, sayde vnto thee, What doest thou?
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi anthu aupandu a Israeli sanakufunse kuti ukuchita chiyani?
10 But say thou vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, This burden concerneth the chiefe in Ierusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
“Uwawuze kuti, ‘zimene ndikunena Ine Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse ndi izi: Uthengawu ndi wonena za kalonga wa ku Yerusalemu pamodzi ndi banja lonse la Israeli amene akukhala kumeneko.’
11 Say, I am your signe: like as I haue done, so shall it be done vnto them: they shall goe into bondage and captiuitie.
Uwawuze kuti, ‘Ndiwe chizindikiro chowachenjeza.’ “Zidzakuchitikirani monga momwe zakuchitikira iwemu. Iwo adzatengedwa kupita ku ukapolo.”
12 And the chiefest that is among them, shall beare vpon his shoulder in the darke, and shall goe forth: they shall digge through the wall, to cary out thereby: he shall couer his face, that he see not the ground with his eies.
“Kalonga wawo adzatenga katundu wake nʼchisisira nʼkunyamuka. Adzatulukira pa bowo limene anthu anabowola pa khoma. Adzaphimba nkhope yake kuti asaone kumene akupita.
13 My net also will I spread vpon him, and he shall be taken in my net, and I will bring him to Babel to the lande of the Caldeans, yet shall he not see it, though he shall dye there.
Ndidzayala ukonde wanga pa iye ndi kumukola mu msampha wanga. Ndidzabwera naye ku Babuloni, dziko la Akaldeya, koma sadzaliona dzikolo, ndipo adzafera kumeneko.
14 And I will scatter toward euerie winde all that are about him to helpe him, and all his garisons, and I will drawe out the sworde after them.
Ine ndidzabalalitsa kumbali zonse zinayi onse okhala naye pafupi, ndiwo omuthandiza ake pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake. Ndidzawalondola ndi lupanga losolola.
15 And they shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countreis.
“Iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova, ndikadzawamwaza pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndi kuwabalalitsira ku mayiko ena.
16 But I will leaue a litle nomber of them from the sworde, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all these abominations among the heathen, where they come, and they shall knowe, that I am the Lord.
Koma ndidzasiyako ena pangʼono amene adzapulumuke ku lupanga, njala ndi mliri, kuti akafotokoze ntchito zawo zonse zonyansa pakati pa anthu achilendo kumene akupitako. Pamenepo adzadziwa kuti ndine Yehova.”
17 Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Pambuyo pake Yehova anandiyankhulanso nati,
18 Sonne of man, eate thy bread with trembling and drinke thy water with trouble, and with carefulnesse,
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, uzinjenjemera ukamadya chakudya chako, ndipo uzinthunthumira ndi mantha ukamamwa madzi ako.
19 And say vnto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and of the lande of Israel, They shall eate their bread with carefulnes, and drinke their water with desolation: for the lande shall bee desolate from her abundance because of the crueltie of them that dwell therein.
Uwawuze anthu a mʼdzikomo kuti izi ndi zimene Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse akunena za anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu ndi dziko la Israeli: Iwo adzadya chakudya chawo ndi mantha ndi kumwa madzi awo ndi nkhawa. Zonse za mʼdziko lawo zidzalandidwa chifukwa cha ziwawa za anthu onse okhala mʼmenemo.
20 And the cities that are inhabited, shall be left voyde, and the land shall be desolate, and yee shall knowe that I am the Lord.
Mizinda imene ili ndi anthu idzasakazika ndipo dziko lidzasanduka chipululu. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
21 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,
22 Sonne of man, what is that prouerbe that you haue in the land of Israel, saying, The dayes are prolonged and all visions faile?
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi mwambi umene ukunenedwa mu Israeli ndi wotani: ‘Masiku akupita koma masomphenya onse sakukwaniritsidwa?’
23 Tell them therefore, Thus sayeth the Lord God, I wil make this prouerbe to cease, and they shall no more vse it as a prouerbe in Israel: but say vnto them, The daies are at hand and the effect of euery vision.
Choncho uwawuze anthuwo kuti, ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndidzawuthetsa mwambi umenewu ndipo sadzawunenanso mu Israeli.’ Uwawuze kuti, ‘masiku ayandikira oti zonse zimene ndinanena mʼmasomphenya zichitikedi.
24 For no vision shall be any more in vaine, neither shall there bee any flattering diuination within the house of Israel.
Pakuti masiku amenewo sikudzakhalanso masomphenya abodza kapena kuwombeza kwa chinyengo pakati pa anthu a Israeli.
25 For I am the Lord: I wil speake, and that thing that I shall speake, shall come to passe: it shall be no more prolonged: for in your dayes, O rebellious house, will I saye the thing, and will performe it, sayeth the Lord God.
Koma Ine Ambuye ndidzayankhula chimene ndikufuna, ndipo chidzachitikadi, osachedwa ayi. Pakuti mʼmasiku anu omwe ano, inu anthu opanduka, ndidzakwaniritsa chilichonse chimene ndidzanena. Ndikutero Ine Yehova.’”
26 Againe the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
27 Sonne of man, beholde, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that hee seeth, is for many dayes to come, and he prophecieth of the times that are farre off.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, Aisraeli akunena kuti, ‘masomphenya amene ukuona sadzachitika kwa zaka zambiri. Iwo akuti ukulosa za zinthu zimene zidzachitika ku tsogolo kwambiri.’
28 Therefore say vnto them, Thus sayth the Lord God, All my wordes shall no longer be delayed, but that thing which I haue spoken, shall be done, saith the Lord God.
“Choncho uwawuze kuti, ‘zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena ndi izi: Zonena zanga sizidzachedwanso; chilichonse chimene ndikunena chidzachitikadi. Ndikutero Ine Yehova.’”
