< Ezekiel 11 >
1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of YHWH's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials of the people.
Pamenepo Mzimu wa Mulungu unandinyamula ndi kubwera nane ku chipata cha kummawa cha Nyumba ya Yehova. Kumeneko pa khomo la chipata panali anthu 25, ndipo ndinaona pakati pawo atsogoleri awa: Yaazaniya mwana wa Azuri ndi Pelatiya mwana wa Benaya.
2 He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, awa ndi anthu amene akukonza zoyipa ndi kupereka malangizo oyipa mu mzindamo.
3 who say, 'The time is not near to build houses: this is the caldron, and we are the meat.'
Iwo amawuza anthu kuti, ‘Nthawi sinafike yoti timange Nyumba? Mzindawu uli ngati mʼphika umene uli pa moto ndipo ife tili ngati nyama mu mʼphikamo.
4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man."
Choncho iwe mwana wa munthu, unenere mowadzudzula. Nenera ndithu.’”
5 The Spirit of YHWH fell on me, and he said to me, "Speak, Thus says YHWH: 'Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
Ndipo Mzimu wa Yehova unandigwera ndipo unandiwuza kuti, “Unene kuti zimene akunena Yehova ndi izi. Iye akuti. ‘Izi ndi zimene mukunena, Inu Aisraeli, koma Ine ndikudziwa zimene zili mu mtima mwanu.’
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.'
Mwapha anthu ambiri mu mzinda muno ndipo mwadzaza misewu yake ndi mitembo.
7 Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this is the caldron; but I will bring you out of it.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Mitembo imene mwayiponya mʼmisewuyo ndiyo nyama ndipo mzinda uno ndiwo mʼphika, koma Ine ndidzakuthamangitsanimo.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,' says YHWH.
Inu mumaopa lupanga, koma lupangalo ndi limene ndidzakubweretsereni, akutero Ambuye.
9 'I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Ine ndidzakuthamangitsani mu mzinda ndipo ndidzakuperekani mʼdzanja la alendo kuti akulangeni.
10 You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am YHWH.
Mudzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo ndidzakulangani mpaka kumalire a Israeli. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
11 This shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
Mzinda uno sudzakhala ngati mʼphika wokutetezani ndipo simudzakhalanso ngati nyama ya mʼmenemo. Ndidzakulangani mpaka kumalire a Israeli.
12 and you shall know that I am YHWH: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.'"
Ndipo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova. Inu simunatsatire malangizo anga kapena kusunga malamulo anga koma mwakhala mukutsata zochita za mitundu ina ya anthu imene yakuzungulirani.’”
13 It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, "Ah, YHWH. Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"
Tsono pamene ndinkanenera, Pelatiya mwana wa Benaya anafa. Pomwepo ndinadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba ndipo ndinafuwula ndi mawu aakulu kuti “Mayo, Ambuye Yehova! Kodi mudzawatheratu Aisraeli onse otsala?”
14 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
15 "Son of man, your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far away from YHWH. This land has been given to us for a possession.'
“Anthu okhala ku Yerusalemu akuwanena abale ako, anthu a ku ukapolo, onse a banja la Israeli, kuti, ‘Anthu onse amene anatengedwa ukapolo ali kutali ndi Yehova. Dziko lanu Yehova anatipatsa kuti likhale lathulathu.’”
16 Therefore say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come."'
“Nʼchifukwa chake nena kwa anzako a ku ukapolo kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Ine ndinawatumiza kutali pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Ndinawabalalitsa ku mayiko ambiri. Komabe ndakhala ndikuwasunga ku mayiko kumene anapitako!’
17 Therefore say, 'Thus says YHWH: "I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."
“Nʼchifukwa chake uwawuze zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena kuti, Ndidzawasonkhanitsa kuchokera kwa anthu a mitundu inayo ndi kuwasonkhanitsira pamodzi kuchokera ku mayiko kumene ndinawabalalitsirako. Pambuyo pake ndidzawapatsa dziko la Israeli.
18 They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.
“Akadzalowa mʼdzikomo adzachotsa mafano awo onse oyipa ndi onyansa.
19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;
Ndidzawapatsa mtima watsopano ndipo ndidzayika mzimu watsopano mwa iwo. Ndidzachotsa mtima wowuma ngati mwala mwa iwo, ndipo ndidzawapatsa mtima wofewa ngati mnofu.
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Motero adzatsata malamulo anga ndipo adzasunga mosamala malamulo anga. Adzakhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo.
21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,' says YHWH."
Koma kunena za amene akupembedza mafano oyipa ndi onyansa, ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha zimene achita. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Tsono akerubi aja anatambasula mapiko awo kuyamba kuwuluka, mikombero ili mʼmbali mwawo. Ulemerero wa Mulungu wa Israeli unali pamwamba pawo.
23 The glory of YHWH went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Ulemerero wa Yehova unakwera ndi kusiya mzindawo ndipo unakayima pa phiri cha kummawa kwake kwa mzindawo.
24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Pambuyo pake Mzimu wa Mulungu unandinyamula ndi kukandifikitsa. Zimenezi zinkachitika mʼmasomphenya monga mmene Mzimu wa Mulungu unkandionetsera. Kenaka masomphenya amene ndinkawaonawo anayamba kuzimirira.
25 Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that YHWH had shown me.
Ndipo ndinafotokozera akapolowo zonse zimene Yehova anandionetsa.
