< Ezekiel 32 >
1 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
Pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wa khumi ndi chiwiri, chaka chakhumi ndi chiwiri, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and say to him: —Thou art like a young lion among the nations; Thou art like a dragon in the seas; And thou camest forth into thy rivers, And troubledst the waters with thy feet, And didst disturb their rivers.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu imba nyimbo ya maliro a Farao mfumu ya Igupto ndipo uyiwuze kuti, “Iwe umadziyesa ngati mkango pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. Koma iwe uli ngati ngʼona mʼnyanja. Umakhuvula mʼmitsinje yako, kuvundula madzi ndi mapazi ako ndi kudetsa madzi mʼmitsinje.
3 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will therefore spread my net over thee, Amidst an assembly of many nations; And they shall draw thee up in my net.
“Tsono Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Pogwiritsa ntchito gulu la anthu a mitundu yambiri, ndidzakuponyera khoka langa ndi kukugwira mu ukonde wanga.
4 And I will throw thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, And I will cause all the birds of heaven to remain upon thee. And I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee;
Ndidzakuponya ku mtunda ndi kukutayira pansi. Ndidzabweretsa mbalame zamumlengalenga kuti zidzatere pa iwe, ndipo zirombo zonse za dziko lapansi zidzakudya.
5 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, And fill the valleys with thy heaps.
Ndidzayanika mnofu wako pa mapiri ndipo zigwa zidzadzaza ndi zotsalira zako.
6 And I will water the land in which thou swimmest with thy blood, even to the mountains, And the streams shall be full of thee.
Ndidzanyowetsa dziko ndi magazi ako, mpaka kumapiri komwe, ndipo mitsinje idzadzaza ndi mnofu wako.
7 And I will cover the heavens, when I quench thee, And make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, And the moon shall not give her light.
Ndikadzakuwononga, ndidzaphimba miyamba ndikudetsa nyenyezi zake. Ndidzaphimba dzuwa ndi mtambo, ndipo mwezi sudzawala.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, And bring darkness upon thy land, Saith the Lord Jehovah.
Zowala zonse zamumlengalenga ndidzazizimitsa; ndidzachititsa mdima pa dziko lako, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
9 And I will grieve the hearts of many nations, When I bring thy destruction among the nations, In lands which thou knowest not.
Ndidzasautsa mitima ya anthu a mitundu yambiri pamene ndidzakupititsa ku ukapolo pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ku mayiko amene iwe sunawadziwe.
10 Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, And their kings shall shudder on account of thee, When I brandish my sword before them; And they shall tremble every moment, every one for his life, in the day of thy fall.
Ine ndidzachititsa kuti anthu a mitundu yambiri adabwe nawe, ndipo mafumu awo adzanjenjemera ndi mantha aakulu chifukwa cha iwe pamene ndidzaonetsa lupanga langa pamaso pawo. Pa nthawi ya kugwa kwako, aliyense wa iwo adzanjenjemera moyo wake wonse.
11 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee;
“‘Pakuti ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova kuti, “‘Lupanga la mfumu ya ku Babuloni lidzabwera kudzalimbana nawe.
12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, All of them the terrible of the nations. And they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, And all her multitude shall be destroyed.
Ndidzachititsa gulu lako lankhondo kuti ligwe ndi lupanga la anthu amphamvu, anthu ankhanza kwambiri pakati pa mitundu yonse ya anthu. Adzathetsa kunyada kwa Igupto, ndipo gulu lake lonse la nkhondo lidzagonjetsedwa.
13 I will also destroy all her beasts From beside the great waters; Neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, Nor shall the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
Ndidzawononga ziweto zake zonse zokhala mʼmbali mwa madzi ambiri. Ku madziko sikudzaonekanso phazi la munthu kapena kudetsedwa ndi phazi la ziweto.
14 Then will I make their waters clear, And cause their rivers to run like oil, Saith the Lord Jehovah,
Pambuyo pake ndidzayeretsa madzi ake ndipo mitsinje yake idzayenda mokometsera ngati mafuta, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, And the country shall be destitute of all that was therein, When I shall smite all that dwell therein, That they may know that I am Jehovah.
Ndikadzasandutsa dziko la Igupto kukhala bwinja; ndikadzawononga dziko lonse ndi kukantha onse okhala kumeneko, adzadziwa kuti ndine Yehova.’
16 This is the lamentation which they shall utter; the daughters of the nations shall utter it. For Egypt and for all her multitude shall they utter it, saith the Lord Jehovah.
“Mawu angawa adzakhala nyimbo ya maliro. Ana a akazi amitundu ya anthu adzayimba, kuyimbira Igupto ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo, akutero Ambuye Yehova.”
17 It came to pass also in the twelfth year, [[in the twelfth month, ]] on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
Pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi woyamba, chaka cha khumi ndi chiwiri, Yehova anayankhula kuti:
18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast her down, even her and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, to them that have gone down to the pit.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, lirira gulu lankhondo la Igupto ndipo uwalowetse pamodzi ndi anthu ena amphamvu a mayiko ena ku dziko la anthu akufa.
19 Art thou more beautiful than another? Come down and be laid with the uncircumcised!
Ufunse kuti, ‘Ndani amene akukuposa kukongola? Tsikirani ku manda ndi kukhala pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe.’
20 They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword. The sword is given; drag her away and all her multitudes!
Aigupto adzagwa pakati pa amene akuphedwa ndi lupanga. Lupanga ndi losololedwa kale. Iye adzaphedwa pamodzi ndi gulu lake lankhondo.
21 The mightiest heroes from the midst of the pit shall speak to him and his helpers; For they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol )
Mʼkati mwa manda atsogoleri amphamvu pamodzi ndi ogwirizana nawo azidzakambirana za Igupto nʼkumati, ‘Afika kuno anthu osachita mdulidwe aja! Ndi awa agona apawa, ophedwa pa nkhondo.’ (Sheol )
22 There is Assyria and all her company; Her graves are round about her; All of them are slain, fallen by the sword;
“Asiriya ali komweko ndipo ankhondo ake onse ali mʼmanda omuzungulira. Onsewo anaphedwa pa nkhondo.
23 Her grave is made in the depths of the pit, And her company is round about her grave, All of them slain, fallen by the sword, They who caused terror in the land of the living.
Manda awo ali kumalo ozama a dzenje, ndipo ankhondo ake azungulira manda ake. Onse amene anaopseza dziko la anthu amoyo aphedwa, agwa ndi lupanga.
24 There is Elam and all her company round about her grave, All of them slain, fallen by the sword; They are gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, Who caused terror in the land of the living; They bear their shame with them that have gone down to the pit.
“Elamu ali komweko ndipo ankhondo ake ali mʼmanda omuzungulira. Onsewa anaphedwa pa nkhondo, natsikira ku manda ali osachita mdulidwe. Iwowa kale ankaopseza anthu pa dziko lapansi. Tsopano akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi amene ali mʼmanda.
25 Among the slain have they set her a bed with all her multitude; Her graves are round about her, All of them slain, uncircumcised, by the sword. Though they caused terror in the land of the living, Yet they bear their shame with them that have gone down to the pit; They are laid in the midst of the slain.
Amukonzera pogona pakati pa anthu ophedwa, pamodzi ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo litazungulira manda ake. Onsewo ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe ophedwa ndi lupanga. Paja anthuwa ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu a moyo. Koma tsopano akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi amene ali mʼmanda. Iwo ayikidwa pakati pa anthu ophedwa.
26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude; Their graves are around them; All of them slain, uncircumcised, by the sword, Though they caused terror in the land of the living.
“Mesaki ndi Tubala ali komweko, pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo litazungulira manda awo. Onsewo ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, ophedwa ndi lupanga. Paja ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo.
27 Shall they not lie with the mighty of the uncircumcised that are fallen, Who have gone down to the pit with their weapons of war, Having their swords laid under their heads, And their iniquity resting upon their bones, Though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living? (Sheol )
Iwo sanayikidwe mwaulemu ngati ankhondo amphamvu amakedzana, amene anatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa ndi zida zawo zomwe za nkhondo. Malupanga awo anawayika ku mitu yawo, ndipo zishango zawo anaphimba mafupa awo. Kale anthu amphamvu amenewa ankaopsa dziko la anthu amoyo. (Sheol )
28 And thou also shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, And shalt lie down with them that are slain by the sword.
“Iwenso Farao, udzaphwanyidwa ndi kuyikidwa pakati pa anthu osachita mdulidwe, amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga.
29 There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, Who in their might are laid with them that are slain by the sword; They lie down with the uncircumcised, With them that have gone down to the pit.
“Edomu ali kumeneko pamodzi ndi mafumu ake ndi akalonga ake onse. Ngakhale anali amphamvu, koma anayikidwa. Ayikidwa pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, pamodzi ndi iwo amene akutsikira ku dzenje.
30 There are the princes of the North, All of them, and all the Sidonians, Who have gone down to the slain; In the midst of the terror of their might they are put to shame; They lie down uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, And bear their shame with them that have gone down to the pit.
“Akalonga onse akumpoto pamodzi ndi anthu onse a ku Sidoni ali kumeneko. Anatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa mwamanyazi ngakhale anali owopsa ndi mphamvu zawo. Iwo akugona osachita mdulidwe pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi iwo amene anatsikira kale ku manda.
31 Pharaoh shall see them, And shall comfort himself over all his multitude; Even Pharaoh and all his army are slain by the sword, Saith the Lord Jehovah.
“Farao ndi gulu lake lankhondo akadzawaona iwowa adzathunza mtima pokumbukira kuchuluka kwa gulu lake lankhondo limene linaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
32 Though I suffered him to spread terror in the land of the living, Yet is he laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, With them that are slain by the sword, Even Pharaoh and all his multitude, Saith the Lord Jehovah.
Paja ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo. Koma Faraoyo pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse adzayikidwa pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”
