Ezekiel 13
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,
2 “Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you have said to those prophesying from their own heart, Hear a word of YHWH!
“Iwe mwana wa munthu unenere modzudzula aneneri a Israeli amene akunenera za kukhosi kwawo. Uwawuze iwowa kuti, ‘Imvani mawu a Yehova!’
3 Thus said Lord YHWH: Woe to the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.
Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Tsoka kwa aneneri opusa amene amangonenera zopeka ngakhale kuti sanaone kanthu konse!’
4 Your prophets have been As foxes in the wasteland, O Israel.
Iwe Israeli, aneneri ako ali ngati nkhandwe pa mabwinja.
5 You have not gone up into breaches, Nor do you make a wall for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of YHWH.
Simunakwere khoma kuti mukakonze mʼmene munagumuka, kuti Aisraeli adziteteze kolimba pa nkhondo pa tsiku la Yehova.
6 They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: A declaration of YHWH, And YHWH has not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.
Masomphenya awo ndi achabe ndipo kuwombeza kwawo ndi kwabodza. Iwo amati, ‘Yehova akutero,’ pomwe Yehova sanawatume. Komabe iwo amayembekezera kuti zimene ayankhulazo zichitikadi.
7 Have you not seen a vain vision, And spoken a lying divination, When you say, A declaration of YHWH, And I have not spoken?
Koma Ine ndikuti masomphenya anu ngachabechabe ndi zimene mwawombedzazo nʼzabodza. Mumanena kuti, ‘Akutero Yehova,’ pamene sindinayankhule nʼkomwe.
8 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, behold, I [am] against you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
“Tsono Ine Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse ndikukutsutsani chifukwa cha zoyankhula zanu zonama ndi masomphenya anu abodzawo. Ndikutero Ine Yehova.
9 And My hand has been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, They are not in the assembly of My people, And they are not written in the writing of the house of Israel, And they do not come to the ground of Israel, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.
Ndidzalanga aneneri amene amanenera zabodza za zinthu zimene amati anaziona mʼmasomphenya. Sadzakhala nawo mʼbwalo la anthu anga ndipo mayina awo sadzalembedwa mu kawundula wa nzika za Israeli. Sadzalowa nawo mʼdziko la Israeli. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Ambuye Yehova.
10 Because, even because, they caused My people to err, Saying, Peace! And there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And behold, they are coating it with chalk.
“Popeza kuti aneneri asocheretsa anthu anga pomanena kuti, ‘Kuli mtendere’ pamene mtendere palibe; ndiponso anthu akamanga khoma iwo nʼkumalipaka njereza,
11 Say to those coating with chalk—It falls, There has been an overflowing shower, And you, O hailstones, fall, And a turbulent wind breaks out,
choncho ufotokozere amene alipaka njerezawo kuti khomalo lidzagwa. Mvula idzagwa mwamphamvu, kudzagwa matalala akuluakulu, ndipo kudzawomba mphepo yamkuntho.
12 And behold, the wall has fallen! Does one not say to you, Where [is] the coating that you coated?
Pamene khomalo lagwa, kodi anthu sadzakufunsani kuti, ‘Kodi njereza yemwe munapaka uja ali kuti?’
13 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have broken with a turbulent wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in My anger, And hailstones in My fury—to consume.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti: Mwa ukali ndidzakunthitsa mphepo ya mkuntho. Ndidzagwetsa matalala akuluakulu ndili ndi ukali ndipo ndidzavumbwitsa mvula yamphamvu ndi mkwiyo mpaka khomalo litawonongeka kotheratu.
14 And I have broken down the wall that you coated with chalk, And have caused it to come to the earth, And its foundation has been revealed, And it has fallen, And you have been consumed in its midst, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
Ndidzagwetsa khoma limene munalipaka njerezalo. Ndidzaligumuliratu mpaka pansi kotero kuti maziko ake adzaoneka. Khomalo likadzagwa, inu mudzawonongekamo; ndipo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
15 And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those coating it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those coating it are not,
Kotero ndidzagwiritsa ntchito mkwiyo wanga pa khomali ndi pa amene analipaka njereza. Pambuyo pake ndidzakuwuzani kuti, ‘Khoma lagwa pamodzi ndi amene analipaka njereza.
16 [These]—the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing a vision of peace for her, And there is no peace, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Agwanso aneneri a Yerusalemu amene ankalosa za Yerusalemu nʼkumati anaona mʼmasomphenya za mtendere wa Yerusalemu pamene mtendere kunalibe konse, akutero Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse.’
17 And you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,
“Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, yankhulapo pa nkhani za akazi amene ali pakati pa anthu ako. Iwo amanenera zopeka za mʼmutu mwawo. Tsono adzudzule.
18 And you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Woe to those sowing [magic] bands for all joints of the arm, And to those making the veils For the head of every stature—to hunt souls, Do you hunt the souls of My people? And do your souls that live remain alive?
Uwawuze kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Tsoka kwa akazi amene amasoka zithumwa zapamkono, amenenso amasoka nsalu za kumutu za anthu. Kodi mufuna kukola mitima ya anthu anga, inuyo nʼkupulumutsa moyo wanu?
19 Indeed, you pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, To put to death souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people—listening to lies.
Ponamiza anthu anga amene amamva za mabodza anu, inu mwapha anthu amene sanayenera kufa ndipo mwasiya ndi moyo amene sanayenera kukhala ndi moyo.
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against your [magic] bands, With which you are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have torn them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that you are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.
“‘Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ine ndikudana ndi zithumwa zanu zimene mumakokera nazo mitima ya anthu ngati mbalame. Ndidzazingʼamba kudzichotsa pa mikono yanu. Choncho ndidzapulumutsa miyoyo ya anthu amene munawakola ngati mbalame.
21 And I have torn your veils, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no longer for a prey in your hand, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
Ndidzangʼamba nsalu zanu za matsengazo ndi kupulumutsa anthu anga mʼmanja mwanu, ndipo simudzakhalanso ndi mphamvu yowakolera. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
22 Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn [him] back from his evil way, To keep him alive,
Popeza kuti munatayitsa mtima anthu olungama ngakhale sindinafune kuti ataye mtima; ndipo munalimbitsa anthu oyipa kuti asaleka machimo awo motero sakutha kupulumutsa moyo wawo,
23 Therefore, you do not see vanity, And you do not divine divination again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And you have known that I [am] YHWH!”
choncho inu simudzaonanso masomphenya abodza kapena kuwombeza. Ine ndidzapulumutsa anthu anga mʼmanja mwanu. Ndipo pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’”
