Ezekiel 23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
2 'Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother;
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, panali atsikana awiri ana a mayi mmodzi.
3 and they committed harlotries in Egypt; they committed harlotries in their youth; there were their bosoms pressed, and there their virgin breasts were bruised.
Iwo ankachita za chiwerewere ku Igupto. Za chiwerewerezo anayamba ali achichepere. Kumeneko anthu ankangowasisita pa chifuwa ndi kuwagwiragwira mawere awo aja.
4 And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister; and they became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
Wamkulu dzina lake anali Ohola, ndipo mngʼono wakeyo anali Oholiba. Ine ndinawakwatira ndipo anabereka ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi. Ohola ndiye Samariya, ndipo Yerusalemu ndiye Oholiba.
5 And Oholah played the harlot when she was Mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians, warriors,
“Ohola anachita zachiwerewere ngakhale anali mkazi wanga; ndipo iye anakangamira abwenzi ake a ku Asiriya.
6 clothed with blue, governors and rulers, handsome young men all of them, horsemen riding upon horses.
Amenewo anali asilikali ovala zibakuwa zamlangali, abwanamkubwa ndiponso atsogoleri a nkhondo. Onsewo anali anyamata osiririka ndipo ankakwera pa akavalo.
7 And she bestowed her harlotries upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
Ohola anachita zachiwerewere ndi onsewa, anthu otchuka a ku Asiriya. Iye anadziyipitsa ndi mafano a munthu aliyense amene anagona naye.
8 Neither hath she left her harlotries brought from Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised her virgin breasts; and they poured out their lust upon her.
Iye sanaleke za chiwerewere zimene anaziphunzira ku Igupto. Paja akanali mtsikana anyamata ankagona naye. Iwo ankamusisita mawere akanali anthete nachita naye zachiwerewere.
9 Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndinamupereka kwa achikondi ake, Asiriya, amene iye ankawalakalaka.
10 These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, and her they slew with the sword; and she became a byword among women, for judgments were executed upon her.
Iwowa anamuvula, namulanda ana ake aamuna ndi aakazi ndipo anamupha ndi lupanga. Ndipo atalangidwa choncho, iye anasanduka chinthu chonyozeka pakati pa akazi.
11 And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her harlotries more than her sister in her harlotries.
“Mphwake Oholiba anaona zimenezi natengerako. Koma iye anachita zachiwerewere kuposa mkulu wake.
12 She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, warriors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them handsome young men.
Iyenso anakangamira Asiriya, abwanamkubwa, olamulira asilikali, ankhondo ovala zovala zonse za nkhondo ndi okwera pa akavalo. Onsewa anali anyamata osiririka.
13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
Ndinaona kuti iyenso anadziyipitsa; ndipo onse awiriwo anatsata njira imodzi.
14 And she increased her harlotries; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
“Koma Oholiba uja anachita chigololo kopitirira mkulu wake. Iye anaona zithunzi za amuna pa khoma, zithunzi za Ababuloni zolembedwa ndi inki yofiira,
15 girded with girdles upon their loins, with pendant turbans upon their heads, all of them captains to look upon, the likeness of the sons of Babylon, even of Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
atamanga malamba mʼchiwuno mwawo ndi kuvala nduwira pa mitu yawo. Onse amaoneka ngati atsogoleri a magaleta a Ababuloni, mbadwa za ku Kaldeya.
16 And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
Oholiba atangowaona, anawalakalaka ndipo anatuma amithenga ku Kaldeya kukawayitana.
17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their lust; and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
Ndipo Ababuloni anabwera nʼkudzagona naye. Choncho mwa chilakolako chawo anamuyipitsa. Koma atamuyipitsa choncho, iye ananyansidwa nawo.
18 So she uncovered her harlotries, and uncovered her nakedness; then My soul was alienated from her, like as My soul was alienated from her sister.
Iye atachita chiwerewere chake poyera ndi kuonetsa umaliseche wake, Ine ndinamuchokera monyansidwa monga mmene ndinachitira ndi mʼbale wake.
19 Yet she multiplied her harlotries, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
Koma anachitabe zachiwerewere osalekeza. Ankakumbukira masiku a ubwana wake pamene ankachita za chiwerewere mʼdziko la Igupto.
20 And she doted upon concubinage with them, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Kumeneko iye ankalakalaka zibwenzi zake, amene ziwalo zawo zinali ngati za abulu ndipo kutentha kwawo kunali ngati kwa akavalo.
21 Thus thou didst call to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, when they from Egypt bruised thy breasts for the bosom of thy youth.
Motero, iwe Oholiba unafuna kuchitanso zadama monga unkachitira ku Igupto pamene unali mtsikana. Nthawi imene ija ankakusisita pa chifuwa ndi kugwiragwira mawere ako osagwa aja.
22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side:
“Tsono iwe Oholiba, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzakudzutsira zibwenzi zako zimene unkanyansidwa nazo zija kuti zilimbane nawe. Ndidzaziyitana kuti zibwere kuchokera mbali zonse.
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, governors and rulers all of them, captains and councillors, all of them riding upon horses.
Ndidzayitana anthu a ku Babuloni ndi Akaldeya onse, anthu a ku Pekodi, Sowa ndi Kowa pamodzi ndi Asiriya onse. Onsewa ndi amuna osiririka, abwanamkubwa, atsogoleri a ankhondo, oyenda pa magaleta, anthu a maudindo akuluakulu. Onsewa ndi okwera akavalo.
24 And they shall come against thee with hosts, chariots, and wheels, and with an assembly of peoples; they shall set themselves in array against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about; and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
Iwo adzabwera kudzalimbana nawe ndi zida za nkhondo, magaleta ndi ngolo, pamodzi ndi anthu ambiri. Adzakuzinga mbali zonse atavala zishango zankhondo ndi zipewa zankhondo. Ndidzakupereka kwa iwo kuti akulange ndipo adzakulanga monga momwe adzafunire.
25 And I will set My jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; they shall take away thy nose and thine ears, and thy residue shall fall by the sword; they shall take thy sons and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
Ndidzaonetsa mkwiyo wanga pa iwe ndipo iwo adzakulanga iwe mwankhanza. Adzadula mphuno zanu ndi makutu anu, ndipo amene adzatsalira mwa iwe adzaphedwa ndi lupanga. Iwo adzakulanda ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi ndipo amene adzatsalira adzaphedwa ndi moto.
26 They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
Adzakuvulaninso zovala zanu ndikukulandani zodzikongoletsera zanu zamtengowapatali.
27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy harlotry brought from the land of Egypt, so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
Motero ndidzathetsa zonyansa zako ndi zachigololo zomwe unaziyamba ku Igupto. Choncho sudzalakalaka za ku Igupto kapena kuzikumbukiranso.
28 For thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated;
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndikukupereka mʼmanja mwa amene amadana nawe, kwa iwo amene unawafulatira moyipidwa nawo.
29 and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare; and the nakedness of thy harlotries shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy harlotries.
Adzachita nawe mwachidani. Adzakulanda zonse zimene unagwirira ntchito. Adzakusiya wamaliseche ndiponso wausiwa. Kuyipa kwa makhalidwe ako achiwerewere kudzakhala pammbalambanda. Zonyansa zako ndi chiwerewere chako,
30 These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast gone astray after the nations, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
zabweretsa izi pa iwe chifukwa unachita zonyansa ndi anthu a mitundu ndi kudziyipitsa ndi mafano awo.
31 In the way of thy sister hast thou walked; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand.
Unatsata zochita za mkulu wako; choncho Ine ndidzayika chikho cha chilango chake mʼdzanja lako.
32 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup, which is deep and large; thou shalt be for a scorn and a derision; it is full to the uttermost.
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: “Udzamwera chikho cha mkulu wako, chikho chachikulu ndi chakuya; anthu adzakuseka ndi kukunyoza, pakuti chikhocho ndi chodzaza kwambiri.
33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and appalment, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
Udzaledzera ndipo mtima wako udzadzaza ndi chisoni. Chimenechi ndi chikho chachiwonongeko ndi chipasupasu, chikho cha mkulu wako Samariya.
34 Thou shalt even drink it and drain it, and thou shalt craunch the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Udzamwa chikhocho mpaka kugugudiza. Tsono udzaphwanyaphwanya chikhocho ndipo udzangʼamba mawere ako ndi zigoba zake. Ine ndayankhula, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
35 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast forgotten Me, and cast Me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy harlotries.'
“Chifukwa chake, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Popeza wandiyiwala Ine ndi kundifulatira, chomwecho uyenera kulangidwa chifukwa cha zonyansa zako ndi chiwerewere chako.”
36 The LORD said moreover unto me: 'Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations.
Yehova anandifunsa kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi udzaweruza Ohola ndi Oholiba? Tsono uwayimbe mlandu chifukwa cha machitidwe awo onyansa.
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery; and their sons, whom they bore unto Me, they have also set apart unto them to be devoured.
Iwo achita chigololo ndipo anapha anthu. Anachita chigololo popembedza mafano awo. Ngakhale ana amene anandiberekera Ine anawapereka kwa mafanowo ngati chakudya chawo.
38 Moreover this they have done unto Me: they have defiled My sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned My sabbaths.
Anachitanso izi: Iwo anayipitsa malo anga opatulika ndi kudetsa masabata anga.
39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into My sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of My house.
Atapereka ana awo kwa mafano, tsiku lomwelo anakalowanso mʼNyumba yanga yopatulika ndi kuyipitsamo. Izi ndi zimene anachita mʼNyumba mwanga.
40 And furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far; unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paint thine eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments;
“Iwo anatuma amithenga kukayitana amuna a ku mayiko akutali. Anthuwo atabwera, abale awiri aja anasambasamba, kudzola utoto wodzikometsera kumaso, kenaka ndi kuvala zovala zamakaka.
41 and sattest upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set Mine incense and Mine oil.
Anakhala pa bedi lokongola ndipo patsogolo pawo panali tebulo pamene munayikapo lubani ndi mafuta. Zonse zowapatsa Ine.
42 And the voice of a multitude being at ease was therein; and for the sake of men, they were so many, brought drunken from the wilderness, they put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
“Mfuwu wa chigulu cha anthu unamveka. Anthu oledzera ochokera ku chipululu anabwera pamodzi ndi anthu wamba ndipo anaveka akaziwo zibangiri kumanja ndi zipewa zaufumu zokongola ku mutu.
43 Then said I of her that was worn out by adulteries: Still they commit harlotries with her, even her.
Ndipo ine ndinati za mkazi wotheratu ndi chigololoyo, ‘Tsono asiyeni kuti achite naye monga wachiwerewere, pakuti ichi ndi chimene iye ali basi.’
44 For every one went in unto her, as men go in unto a harlot; so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women.
Tsono anapita kwa iwo monga mmene anthu amapitira kwa mkazi wadama. Momwemo anapita kwa Ohola ndi kwa Oholiba kukachita nawo zadama.
45 But righteous men, they shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as women that shed blood are judged; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
Koma anthu olungama adzawazenga anthuwa mlandu wa chigololo ndi wa kupha anthu. Ndi iwodi anthu achigololo ndiponso mʼmanja mwawo muli magazi.
46 For thus saith the Lord GOD: An assembly shall be brought up against them, and they shall be made a horror and a spoil.
“Ambuye Yehova akuti: Itanitsani chigulu cha anthu kuti chidzawalange ndi kulanda chuma chawo.
47 And the assembly shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
Anthuwo adzawaponye miyala akazi awiriwo ndi kuwatema ndi malupanga awo. Ana awo aamuna ndi aakazi adzawaphe ndi kutentha nyumba zawo.
48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
“Motero Ine ndidzathetsa zachigololo mʼdzikomo, ndipo akazi onse adzatengapo phunziro kuti asadzachite zachigololo monga za iwowo.
49 And your lewdness shall be recompensed upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.'
Ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha ntchito zawo za dama ndipo adzazunzika chifukwa cha tchimo lawo lopembedza mafano. Choncho adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Ambuye Yehova.”
