Ezekiel 28
1 The word of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
2 Sonne of man, say vnto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saieth the Lord God, Because thine heart is exalted, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God in ye mids of the sea, yet thou art but a man and not God, and though thou didest thinke in thine heart, that thou wast equall with God,
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, iwuze mfumu ya ku Turo mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova akuti, “‘Iwe ndi mtima wako wodzikuza umanena kuti, ‘Ine ndine mulungu; ndimakhala pa mpando wa mulungu pakati pa nyanja.’ Koma ndiwe munthu chabe osati mulungu, ngakhale ukuganiza kuti ndiwe wanzeru ngati mulungu.
3 Behold, thou art wiser then Daniel: there is no secrete, that they can hide from thee.
Taona, ndiwedi wanzeru kupambana Danieli. Ndipo palibe chinsinsi chobisika kwa iwe.
4 With thy wisedome and thine vnderstanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten golde and siluer into thy treasures.
Mwa nzeru zako ndi kumvetsa kwako unadzipezera chuma ndipo unasonkhanitsa golide ndi siliva mʼnyumba zosungira chuma chako.
5 By thy great wisedome and by thine occupying hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted vp because of thy riches.
Ndi nzeru zako zochitira malonda unachulukitsa chuma chako ndipo wayamba kunyada chifukwa cha chuma chakocho.
6 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because thou didest thinke in thine heart, that thou wast equall with God,
“‘Choncho Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Popeza umadziganizira kuti ndiwe mulungu,
7 Behold, therefore I wil bring strangers vpon thee, euen the terrible nations: and they shall drawe their swordes against the beautie of thy wisedome, and they shall defile thy brightnes.
Ine ndidzabwera ndi anthu achilendo, anthu ankhanza, kuti adzalimbane nawe. Adzakuthira nkhondo kuti awononge zonse zimene unazipeza ndi nzeru zako, ndipo adzawononga kunyada kwakoko.
8 They shall cast thee downe to the pit, and thou shalt die the death of them, that are slaine in the middes of the sea.
Iwo adzakuponyera ku dzenje ndipo udzafa imfa yoopsa mʼnyanja yozama.
9 Wilt thou say then before him, that slayeth thee, I am a god? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hands of him that slayeth thee.
Kodi udzanenabe kuti, ‘Ine ndine mulungu,’ pamaso pa iwo amene akukupha? Iwe udzaoneka kuti ndiwe munthu chabe, osati mulungu, mʼmanja mwa iwo amene akukuphawo.
10 Thou shalt die the death of the vncircumcised by the hands of stragers: for I haue spoken it, sayth the Lord God.
Udzafa imfa ya anthu osachita mdulidwe mʼmanja mwa anthu achilendo. Ine ndayankhula zimenezi, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
11 Moreouer the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
12 Sonne of man, take vp a lamentation vpon the King of Tyrus, and say vnto him, Thus sayeth the Lord God, Thou sealest vp the summe, and art full of wisedome and perfite in beautie.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira mfumu ya Turo ndipo uyiwuze mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova akuti, “‘Iwe unali chitsanzo cha ungwiro weniweni, wodzaza ndi nzeru ndi wokongola kwambiri.
13 Thou hast ben in Eden the garden of God: euery precious stone was in thy garment, the rubie, the topaze and the diamonde, the chrysolite, the onix, and the iasper, the saphir, emeraude, and the carbuncle and golde: the woorkemanship of thy timbrels, and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Iwe unkakhala ngati mu Edeni, munda wa Mulungu. Miyala yokongola ya mitundu yonse: rubi, topazi ndi dayimondi, kirisoliti, onikisi, yasipa, safiro, kalineliyoni ndi berili ndiwo inali zofunda zako. Ndipo zoyikamo miyalayo zinali zagolide. Anakupangira zonsezi pa tsiku limene unalengedwa.
14 Thou art the anointed Cherub, that couereth, and I haue set thee in honour: thou wast vpon the holy mountaine of God: thou hast walked in the middes of the stones of fire.
Ndinayika kerubi kuti azikulondera. Unkakhala pa phiri langa lopatulika, ndipo unkayendayenda pakati pa miyala ya moto.
15 Thou wast perfite in thy wayes from the day that thou wast created, till iniquitie was found in thee.
Makhalidwe ako anali abwino kuyambira pamene unalengedwa mpaka nthawi imene unayamba kuchita zoyipa.
16 By the multitude of thy marchandise, they haue filled the middes of thee with crueltie, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as prophane out of the mountaine of God: and I will destroy thee, O couering Cherub from the mids of the stones of fire.
Unatanganidwa ndi zamalonda. Zotsatira zake zinali zoti unachulukitsa zandewu ndi kumachimwa. Choncho ndinakuchotsa ku phiri langa lopatulika. Mkerubi amene ankakulondera uja anakupirikitsa kukuchotsa ku miyala yamoto.
17 Thine heart was lifted vp because of thy beautie, and thou hast corrupted thy wisedome by reason of thy brightnes: I wil cast thee to ye grounde: I will lay thee before Kinges that they may beholde thee.
Unkadzikuza mu mtima mwako chifukwa cha kukongola kwako, ndipo unayipitsa nzeru zako chifukwa chofuna kutchuka. Kotero Ine ndinakugwetsa pansi kuti ukhala chenjezo pamaso pa mafumu.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctification by the multitude of thine iniquities, and by the iniquitie of thy marchandise: therefore wil I bring forth a fire from the mids of thee, which shall deuoure thee: and I wil bring thee to ashes vpon the earth, in the sight of all them that beholde thee.
Ndi malonda ako achinyengo unachulukitsa machimo ako. Motero unayipitsa malo ako achipembedzo. Choncho ndinabutsa moto pakati pako, ndipo unakupsereza, ndipo unasanduka phulusa pa dziko lapansi pamaso pa anthu onse amene amakuona.
19 All they that knowe thee among the people, shalbe astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terrour, and neuer shalt thou be any more.
Anthu onse amitundu amene ankakudziwa akuchita mantha chifukwa cha iwe. Watheratu mochititsa mantha ndipo sudzakhalaponso mpaka muyaya.’”
20 Againe, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
21 Sonne of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesie against it,
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, utembenukire ku mzinda wa Sidoni ndipo unenere mowudzudzula kuti,
22 And say, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, O Zidon, and I will be glorified in the mids of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall haue executed iudgements in her, and shalbe sanctified in her.
‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Ndine mdani wako, iwe Sidoni, ndipo ndidzalemekezedwa chifukwa cha iwe. Anthu adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova ndikadzakulanga ndi kudzionetsa kuti ndine woyera pakati pako.
23 For I wil send into her pestilence, and blood into her streetes, and the slaine shall fall in the middes of her: the enemie shall come against her with the sword on euery side, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Ndidzatumiza mliri pa iwe ndi kuchititsa magazi kuti ayende mʼmisewu yako. Anthu ophedwa ndi lupanga adzagwa mbali zonse. Pamenepo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
24 And they shalbe no more a pricking thorne vnto the house of Israel, nor any grieuous thorne of all that are round about them, and despised them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord God.
“‘Nthawi imeneyo Aisraeli sadzakhalanso ndi anthu pafupi achipongwe amene ali ngati nthula zowawa ndi ngati minga zopweteka. Pamenepo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Ambuye Yehova.
25 Thus saith the Lord God, When I shall haue gathered the house of Israel from the people where they are scattered, and shalbe sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwel in the land, that I haue giuen to my seruant Iaakob.
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova mawu anga ndi awa: Nditasonkhanitsa Aisraeli kuchoka ku mayiko kumene anamwazikira, ndidzadzionetsa kuti ndine woyera pakati pawo pamaso pa anthu a mitundu ina. Adzakhala mʼdziko lawo, limene ndinalipereka kwa mtumiki wanga Yakobo.
26 And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall builde houses, and plant vineyards: yea, they shall dwell safely, when I haue executed iudgements vpon al round about them that despise them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord their God.
Adzakhala kumeneko mwamtendere ndipo adzamanga nyumba ndi kulima minda ya mpesa. Adzakhala kumeneko mwamtendere pamene ndidzalange anthu oyandikana nawo, amene ankawanyoza. Motero iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wawo.’”
