Ezekiel 28
1 The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
2 "Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas'; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of 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 look, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;
Taona, ndiwedi wanzeru kupambana Danieli. Ndipo palibe chinsinsi chobisika kwa iwe.
4 by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
Mwa nzeru zako ndi kumvetsa kwako unadzipezera chuma ndipo unasonkhanitsa golide ndi siliva mʼnyumba zosungira chuma chako.
5 by your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches"—
Ndi nzeru zako zochitira malonda unachulukitsa chuma chako ndipo wayamba kunyada chifukwa cha chuma chakocho.
6 therefore thus says Jehovah: "Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
“‘Choncho Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Popeza umadziganizira kuti ndiwe mulungu,
7 therefore, look, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
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 bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.
Iwo adzakuponyera ku dzenje ndipo udzafa imfa yoopsa mʼnyanja yozama.
9 Will you yet say before him who kills you, 'I am a god'? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who wounds you.
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 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it," says Jehovah.'"
Udzafa imfa ya anthu osachita mdulidwe mʼmanja mwa anthu achilendo. Ine ndayankhula zimenezi, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
11 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, 'Thus says Jehovah: "You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
“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 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.
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 You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ndinayika kerubi kuti azikulondera. Unkakhala pa phiri langa lopatulika, ndipo unkayendayenda pakati pa miyala ya moto.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Makhalidwe ako anali abwino kuyambira pamene unalengedwa mpaka nthawi imene unayamba kuchita zoyipa.
16 By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst 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 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
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 By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
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 those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being."'"
Anthu onse amitundu amene ankakudziwa akuchita mantha chifukwa cha iwe. Watheratu mochititsa mantha ndipo sudzakhalaponso mpaka muyaya.’”
20 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
21 "Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, utembenukire ku mzinda wa Sidoni ndipo unenere mowudzudzula kuti,
22 and say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Look, I am against you, Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you;" and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be 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 will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
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 "'There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them, that scorned them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.'
“‘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 says Jehovah: 'When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
“‘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 They shall dwell securely in it; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah 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.’”
