Ezekiel 19
1 And you take up a lamentation because of [the] princes of Israel.
“Imba nyimbo ya madandawulo, kuyimbira akalonga a ku Israeli.
2 And you will say what? [was] mother your a lioness between lions she lay down in among young lions she reared cubs her.
Uzinena kuti, “‘Amayi ako anali ndani? Anali ngati mkango waukazi! Iwo unabwatama pakati pa mikango yayimuna; unkalera ana ake pakati pa misona.
3 And she brought up one of cubs her a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
Unalera mmodzi mwa ana ake, ndipo mwanayo anasanduka mkango wamphamvu. Unaphunzira kugwira nyama, ndipo unayamba kudya anthu.
4 And they heard concerning it nations in pit their it was caught and they brought it with hooks to [the] land of Egypt.
Anthu amitundu anamva za mkangowo, ndipo tsiku lina unagwa mʼmbuna mwawo. Iwo anawukoka ndi ngowe kupita nawo ku dziko la Igupto.
5 And she saw that she waited it was lost hope her and she took one of cubs her a young lion she made it.
“‘Amayi aja ataona kuti mwana ankamukhulupirira uja wagwidwa ndi kuti chiyembekezo chake chapita padera, amayiwo anatenganso mwana wina namusandutsa mkango wamphamvu.
6 And it went about in among lions a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
Unkayendayenda pakati pa mikango inzake, pakuti tsopano unali mkango wamphamvu. Unaphunzira kugwira nyama ndipo unayamba kudya anthu.
7 And it knew widows its and cities their it laid waste and it was desolate [the] land and what fills it from [the] sound of roaring its.
Unagwetsa malinga awo, ndikuwononga mizinda yawo. Onse a mʼdzikomo anachita mantha chifukwa cha kubangula kwake.
8 And they set on it nations all around from provinces and they spread out over it net their in pit their it was caught.
Pamenepo mitundu ya anthu, makamaka ochokera madera ozungulira, inabwera kudzalimbana nawo. Anawutchera ukonde wawo, ndipo tsiku lina unagwera mʼmbuna mwawo.
9 And they put it in cage with hooks and they brought it to [the] king of Babylon they brought it in strongholds so that not it will be heard voice its again to [the] mountains of Israel.
Anawukoka ndi ngowe nawuponya mʼchitatanga. Anabwera nawo kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni ndipo mfumuyo inawuponya mʼndende ndi cholinga choti liwu lake lisamamvekenso ku mapiri a Israeli.
10 Mother your like vine in blood your at water planted fruitful and full of branches it was from waters many.
“‘Amayi ako anali ngati mpesa mʼmunda wamphesa wodzalidwa mʼmbali mwa madzi. Unabereka bwino ndipo unali ndi nthambi zambiri chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa madzi.
11 And they belonged to it branches of strength to scepters of rulers and it was lofty stature its above between branches and it was seen by height its by [the] abundance of branches its.
Nthambi zake zinali zolimba, zoyenera kupangira ndodo yaufumu. Unatalika nusomphoka pakati pa zomera zina. Unkaoneka bwino chifukwa cha kutalika kwake, ndi nthambi zake zambiri.
12 And it was plucked up in rage to the ground it was thrown down and [the] wind of the east it dried up fruit its they were torn off and they became dry [the] branch of strength its a fire it consumed it.
Koma unazulidwa mwaukali ndipo unagwetsedwa pansi. Unawuma ndi mphepo ya kummawa, zipatso zake zinayoyoka; nthambi zake zolimba zinafota ndipo moto unapsereza mtengo wonse.
13 And now [it is] planted in the wilderness in a land dry and thirst.
Ndipo tsopano anawuwokeranso ku chipululu, dziko lowuma ndi lopanda madzi.
14 And it went out fire from [the] branch of shoots its fruit its it consumed and not it was in it a branch of strength a scepter to rule [is] a lamentation it and it has become a lamentation.
Moto unatulukanso mu mtengomo ndi kupsereza nthambi ndi zipatso zake. Palibe nthambi yolimba inatsala pa mtengowo yoyenera kupangira ndodo yaufumu. Imeneyi ndi nyimbo yachisoni ndipo yasanduka nyimbo ya pa maliro.’”
