Ezekiel 12
1 The word of Yhwh also came unto me, saying,
Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear 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 son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be 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 forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
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 carry out thereby.
Iwo akuona, ubowole pa khoma ndipo utulutsirepo katundu wako.
6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto 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 I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon 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 Yhwh unto me, saying,
Mmawa mwake Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi anthu aupandu a Israeli sanakufunse kuti ukuchita chiyani?
10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, 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 sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.
Uwawuze kuti, ‘Ndiwe chizindikiro chowachenjeza.’ “Zidzakuchitikirani monga momwe zakuchitikira iwemu. Iwo adzatengedwa kupita ku ukapolo.”
12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
“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 upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die 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 every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword 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 know that I am Yhwh, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
“Iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova, ndikadzawamwaza pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndi kuwabalalitsira ku mayiko ena.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am Yhwh.
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 Moreover the word of Yhwh came to me, saying,
Pambuyo pake Yehova anandiyankhulanso nati,
18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, uzinjenjemera ukamadya chakudya chako, ndipo uzinthunthumira ndi mantha ukamamwa madzi ako.
19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all 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 laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am Yhwh.
Mizinda imene ili ndi anthu idzasakazika ndipo dziko lidzasanduka chipululu. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
21 And the word of Yhwh came unto me, saying,
Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,
22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi mwambi umene ukunenedwa mu Israeli ndi wotani: ‘Masiku akupita koma masomphenya onse sakukwaniritsidwa?’
23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every 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 there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Pakuti masiku amenewo sikudzakhalanso masomphenya abodza kapena kuwombeza kwa chinyengo pakati pa anthu a Israeli.
25 For I am Yhwh: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord Yhwh.
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 Again the word of Yhwh came to me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far 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 unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yhwh; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord Yhwh.
“Choncho uwawuze kuti, ‘zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena ndi izi: Zonena zanga sizidzachedwanso; chilichonse chimene ndikunena chidzachitikadi. Ndikutero Ine Yehova.’”
