Ezekiel 23
1 The word of YHWH came again to 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 played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
Iwo ankachita za chiwerewere ku Igupto. Za chiwerewerezo anayamba ali achichepere. Kumeneko anthu ankangowasisita pa chifuwa ndi kuwagwiragwira mawere awo aja.
4 Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. 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 "Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
“Ohola anachita zachiwerewere ngakhale anali mkazi wanga; ndipo iye anakangamira abwenzi ake a ku Asiriya.
6 who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
Amenewo anali asilikali ovala zibakuwa zamlangali, abwanamkubwa ndiponso atsogoleri a nkhondo. Onsewo anali anyamata osiririka ndipo ankakwera pa akavalo.
7 She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever 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 has she left her prostitution since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.
Iye sanaleke za chiwerewere zimene anaziphunzira ku Igupto. Paja akanali mtsikana anyamata ankagona naye. Iwo ankamusisita mawere akanali anthete nachita naye zachiwerewere.
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on 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 killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
Iwowa anamuvula, namulanda ana ake aamuna ndi aakazi ndipo anamupha ndi lupanga. Ndipo atalangidwa choncho, iye anasanduka chinthu chonyozeka pakati pa akazi.
11 "Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her prostitution which were more than the prostitution of her sister.
“Mphwake Oholiba anaona zimenezi natengerako. Koma iye anachita zachiwerewere kuposa mkulu wake.
12 She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
Iyenso anakangamira Asiriya, abwanamkubwa, olamulira asilikali, ankhondo ovala zovala zonse za nkhondo ndi okwera pa akavalo. Onsewa anali anyamata osiririka.
13 I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
Ndinaona kuti iyenso anadziyipitsa; ndipo onse awiriwo anatsata njira imodzi.
14 She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on 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 wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
atamanga malamba mʼchiwuno mwawo ndi kuvala nduwira pa mitu yawo. Onse amaoneka ngati atsogoleri a magaleta a Ababuloni, mbadwa za ku Kaldeya.
16 As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
Oholiba atangowaona, anawalakalaka ndipo anatuma amithenga ku Kaldeya kukawayitana.
17 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution, 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 prostitution, 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 prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
Koma anachitabe zachiwerewere osalekeza. Ankakumbukira masiku a ubwana wake pamene ankachita za chiwerewere mʼdziko la Igupto.
20 She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, 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 you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your 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, Oholibah, thus says YHWH: 'Look, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you 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; desirable young men, all of them governors and officials, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on 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 you armed with chariots, and wagons, and with a huge army; they shall come against you on every side with large shields and small shields and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you by their own standards.
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 I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your 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 you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels.
Adzakuvulaninso zovala zanu ndikukulandani zodzikongoletsera zanu zamtengowapatali.
27 Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitution brought from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to 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 says YHWH: Look, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your 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 you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of your prostitution shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
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 to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
zabweretsa izi pa iwe chifukwa unachita zonyansa ndi anthu a mitundu ndi kudziyipitsa ndi mafano awo.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.'
Unatsata zochita za mkulu wako; choncho Ine ndidzayika chikho cha chilango chake mʼdzanja lako.
32 "Thus says YHWH: 'You will drink of your sister's cup, which is deep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision; it contains much.
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: “Udzamwera chikho cha mkulu wako, chikho chachikulu ndi chakuya; anthu adzakuseka ndi kukunyoza, pakuti chikhocho ndi chodzaza kwambiri.
33 You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
Udzaledzera ndipo mtima wako udzadzaza ndi chisoni. Chimenechi ndi chikho chachiwonongeko ndi chipasupasu, chikho cha mkulu wako Samariya.
34 You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw the broken pieces of it, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,' says YHWH.
Udzamwa chikhocho mpaka kugugudiza. Tsono udzaphwanyaphwanya chikhocho ndipo udzangʼamba mawere ako ndi zigoba zake. Ine ndayankhula, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
35 "Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.'"
“Chifukwa chake, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Popeza wandiyiwala Ine ndi kundifulatira, chomwecho uyenera kulangidwa chifukwa cha zonyansa zako ndi chiwerewere chako.”
36 YHWH said moreover to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to 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 they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to 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 to 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 look, 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 "'Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and look, they came; for whom you did wash yourself, paint your eyes, and decorate yourself 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 sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.'
Anakhala pa bedi lokongola ndipo patsogolo pawo panali tebulo pamene munayikapo lubani ndi mafuta. Zonse zowapatsa Ine.
42 The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands twain, and beautiful crowns on 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 I said of her who was old in adulteries, 'Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she with them.'
Ndipo ine ndinati za mkazi wotheratu ndi chigololoyo, ‘Tsono asiyeni kuti achite naye monga wachiwerewere, pakuti ichi ndi chimene iye ali basi.’
44 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to 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 Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; 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 says YHWH: 'I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
“Ambuye Yehova akuti: Itanitsani chigulu cha anthu kuti chidzawalange ndi kulanda chuma chawo.
47 The company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall kill 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 They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am YHWH.'"
Ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha ntchito zawo za dama ndipo adzazunzika chifukwa cha tchimo lawo lopembedza mafano. Choncho adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Ambuye Yehova.”
