Ezekiel 36
1 "You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, 'You mountains of Israel, hear the word of YHWH.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, yankhula kwa mapiri a Israeli ndipo unene kuti, ‘Inu mapiri a Israeli, imvani mawu a Yehova.’
2 Thus says YHWH: "Because the enemy has said against you, 'Aha.' and, 'The ancient high places are ours in possession'"';
Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Mdani wanu ankanena kuti, ‘Aa! Dziko lamapiri lakalekale lija lasanduka lathu.’
3 therefore prophesy, and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people";
Choncho nenera ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Popeza anakusakazani ndi kukuponderezani ku mbali zonse motero kuti munakhala mʼmanja mwa anthu a mitundu ina yonse ndipo anthu ankakunenani ndi kukunyozani,
4 therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of YHWH: "Thus says YHWH to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
choncho, inu mapiri a Israeli, imvani zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuwuza mapiri ndi magomo, zigwembe ndi zigwa, mabwinja ndi mizinda yosiyidwa imene yakhala ikufunkhidwa komanso kunyozedwa ndi anthu a mitundu ina okuzungulirani.
5 therefore thus says YHWH: 'Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.'"'
Tsono Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Mu mkwiyo wanga woopsa ndinayankhula kuyimba mlandu mitundu ina yonse ya anthu makamaka a ku Edomu. Iwowa mwa chimwemwe chodzaza tsaya ndi mwa nkhwidzi analanda dziko langa ndi kulisandutsa lawo ndi kutengeratu dziko la msipu kukhala lawo.’
6 "Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, 'Thus says YHWH: "Look, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations:
Nʼchifukwa chake, lengeza ku dziko la Israeli, ndipo uwuze mapiri ndi magomo, zigwembe ndi zigwa kuti, ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ine ndikuyankhula ndi mtima wokwiya kwambiri chifukwa inu munalandira chitonzo cha anthu a mitundu ina.’
7 therefore thus says the Lord YHWH: 'I have sworn, saying, "Surely the nations that are around you, they shall bear their shame."
Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndikulumbira nditakweza dzanja langa kuti mitundu ya anthu idzatozedwanso.
8 "'"'But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
“Koma Inu mapiri a Israeli mudzaphukanso nthambi ndipo mudzawabalira zipatso anthu anga a Israeli, pakuti ali pafupi kubwerera kwawo.
9 For, look, I am for you, and I will turn into you, and you shall be tilled and sown;
Taonani, Ine ndili mbali yanu ndipo ndidzakukomerani mtima. Mudzalimidwa ndi kudzalidwa.
10 and I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built;
Ndidzachulukitsa chiwerengero cha anthu anu, nyumba yonse ya Israeli. Mʼmizinda mudzakhalanso anthu ndipo mabwinja adzamangidwanso.
11 and I will multiply on you man and animal; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am YHWH.
Ndidzachulukitsa chiwerengero cha amuna pamodzi ndi ziweto zomwe, ndipo adzachuluka kwambiri ndi kubereka ana ambiri. Ndidzakhazika anthu mʼdzikomo monga analili kale, ndi kukulemeretsani kuposa kale. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more henceforth bereave them of children.'"
Ndidzachititsa anthu kuyenda pa inu, ndiye kuti inu anthu anga Aisraeli. Iwowo adzakhazikika pa inu, ndipo inu mudzakhala cholowa chawo. Simudzalandanso ana awo.
13 "'Thus says YHWH: "Because they say to you, 'You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation';
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Popeza anthu amanena kuti, ndiwe dziko limene limadya anthu ake ‘kulanda ana a mtundu wake,’
14 therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nation any more," says YHWH;
nʼchifukwa chake, simudzadyanso anthu kapena kulanda ana a mtundu wako. Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikutero.
15 "neither will I let you hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shall you bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shall you cause your nation to stumble any more," says YHWH.'"
Sindidzakulolaninso kumva mnyozo wa anthu a mitundu ina, kapena kupirira kunyogodola kwawo kapenanso kupunthwitsanso anthu a mʼdziko lako. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”
16 Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhulanso kuti:
17 "Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, pamene anthu a Israeli ankakhala mʼdziko lawolawo, analiyipitsa ndi makhalidwe awo ndiponso zochita zawo. Machitidwe awo pamaso panga anali onyansa pa zachipembedzo ngati msambo wa mkazi amene ali pa nthawi yake.
18 Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;
Tsono ndinawalanga chifukwa cha magazi amene anakhetsa mʼdzikomo, ndiponso chifukwa anayipitsa dziko ndi mafano awo.
19 and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
Ndinawamwaza pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndipo anabalalikira mʼmayiko onse. Ndinawalanga molingana ndi makhalidwe awo ndi zochita zawo.
20 When they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, 'These are the people of YHWH, and are gone forth out of his land.'
Atafika kwa anthu a mitundu ina, kulikonse kumene anapitako, anayipitsa dzina langa loyera. Zinatero popeza anthu ponena za iwo ankanena kuti, ‘Awa ndi anthu a Yehova, komatu anachotsedwa ku dziko lake.’
21 But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where they went.
Koma Ine ndinkadera nkhawa dzina langa loyera, limene Aisraeli analiyipitsa pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kumene anapitako.
22 "Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says YHWH: "I do not do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, where you went.
“Nʼchifukwa chake awuze Aisraeliwo kuti Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ine ndidzachita zimene ndidzachitezo osati chifukwa cha inuyo Aisraelinu ayi, koma chifukwa cha dzina langa, limene mwaliyipitsa pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kumene munapitako.
23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am YHWH when I magnify myself among you before their eyes.
Ndidzaonetsa chiyero cha dzina langa lotchuka, limene layipitsidwa pakati pawo. Anthu a mitundu inayo atadzazindikira kuti ndaonetsa kudzera mwa inu kuti dzina langa ndi loyera, iwo adzadziwanso kuti Ine ndine Yehova. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
24 For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
“Pakuti Ine ndidzakuchotsani pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Ndidzakusonkhanitsani kuchoka ku mayiko onse ndi kukubwezerani ku dziko lanulanu.
25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Ndidzakuwazani madzi oyera, ndipo mudzakhala oyera mtima. Zonse zimene zimakuyipitsani zidzachoka. Ndidzakuyeretsani pochotsa mafano anu onse.
26 And I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Ndidzakupatsani mtima watsopano ndi kulowetsa mzimu watsopano mwa inu. Ndidzachotsa mwa inu mtima wanu wowuma ngati mwala ndi kukupatsani mtima wofewa ngati mnofu.
27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
Ndipo ndidzayika Mzimu wanga mwa inu ndipo ndidzakuthandizani kutsatira malangizo anga ndi kukusungitsani mosamala kwambiri malamulo anga.
28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Mudzakhala mʼdziko limene ndinapatsa makolo anu. Mudzakhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu.
29 I will save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.
Ndidzakupulumutsani ku zonse zokuyipitsani. Ndidzakuchulukitsirani tirigu ndipo sindidzakugwetseraninso njala.
30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
Ndidzachulukitsa zipatso za mʼmitengo yanu ndi zokolola za mʼmunda mwanu, kotero kuti simudzanyozedwanso pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina chifukwa cha njala.
31 Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Pamenepo mudzakumbukira makhalidwe anu oyipa ndi ntchito zanu zoyipa. Machimo anu ndi ntchito zanu zonyansa zidzakuchititsa nokha manyazi.
32 Nor for your sake do I this," says YHWH, "be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel."'
Tsono dziwani kuti Ine sindidzachita zimenezi chifukwa cha inuyo ayi, ndikutero Ine Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse. Ndiyetu chitani manyazi ndipo mugwetse nkhope zanu, inu Aisraeli chifukwa cha makhalidwe anu!
33 "Thus says YHWH: 'In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa tsiku limene ndidzayeretse machimo anu onse, ndidzayikamonso anthu mʼmizinda yanu, ndipo ndidzamanganso nyumba pa mabwinja.
34 The land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
Dziko limene linasanduka chipululu lizidzalimidwanso. Mʼmalo moti aliyense wopitamo alione dzikolo ngati chipululu tsopano adzaliona lolimidwa.
35 They shall say, "This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited."
Iwo adzati, ‘Dziko ili, limene linali chipululu, lasanduka munda wa Edeni. Mizinda imene inali mabwinja osiyidwa ndi owonongedwa, tsopano ndi yotetezedwa ndi yokhalamo anthu.
36 Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I, YHWH, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I, YHWH, have spoken it, and I will do it.'"
Ndipo anthu a mitundu ina okhala pafupi nanu amene anatsala adzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova ndine amene ndinamanganso mizinda yowonongeka ndi kudzalanso zinthu zatsopano mʼmalo mʼmene munali chipululu. Ine Yehova ndayankhula ndipo ndidzazichitadi.’
37 "Thus says YHWH: 'For this, moreover, will I be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzalolanso Aisraeli kuti andipemphe zoti ndiwachitire: Ndidzachulukitsa anthu awo ngati nkhosa.
38 As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am YHWH.'"
Adzachulukadi ngati nkhosa zomwe ankapereka ngati nsembe ku Yerusalemu pa nthawi za chikondwerero. Choncho mizinda ya mabwinja idzadzaza ndi anthu. Zikadzatero adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
