Ezekiel 20
1 And it was - in the year seventh in the fifth [month] on the ten of the month they came men from [the] elders of Israel to consult Yahweh and they sat down before me.
Tsiku lakhumi la mwezi wachisanu, chaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri, ena mwa akuluakulu a Israeli anabwera kudzapempha nzeru kwa Yehova, ndipo anakhala pansi pamaso panga.
2 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Tsono Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
3 O son of humankind speak with [the] elders of Israel and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ to consult me [are] you coming [by] [the] life of me if I will let myself be consulted by you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, ayankhule akuluakulu a Israeli ndi kuwawuza kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Kodi mwabwera kudzapempha nzeru kwa Ine? Ndithu pali Ine wamoyo, Ine sindidzakulolani kupempha nzeru kwa Ine, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’
4 ¿ Will you judge them ¿ will you judge O son of humankind [the] abominations of ancestors their make known to them.
“Kodi uwaweruza? Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi ugamula mlandu wawo? Uwadziwitse tsono zonyansa zimene anachita makolo awo, uwawuze kuti,
5 And you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day chose I Israel and I lifted up hand my to [the] offspring of [the] house of Jacob and I made myself known to them in [the] land of Egypt and I lifted up hand my to them saying I [am] Yahweh God your.
‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Pa tsiku limene ndinasankha Israeli, ndinalumbira kwa zidzukulu za nyumba ya Yakobo ndipo ndinadziwulula kwa iwo ku Igupto. Ndinalumbira ndi kuwawuza kuti: Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.
6 On the day that I lifted up hand my to them to bring out them from [the] land of Egypt to a land which I had selected for them flowing of milk and honey [is] beauty it to all the lands.
Pa tsiku limenelo ndinalumbira kwa iwo kuti ndidzawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto ndi kupita nawo ku dziko limene ndinawapezera, dziko la mwana alirenji, dziko lokongola kwambiri kupambana mayiko ena.
7 And I said to them everyone [the] detestable things of eyes his throw away and by [the] idols of Egypt may not you make yourselves unclean I [am] Yahweh God your.
Ndipo ndinawawuza kuti, ‘Aliyense ataye zinthu zonse zonyansa zimene ankasangalala nazo, ndipo musadziyipitse ndi mafano a Igupto, Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’
8 And they rebelled against me and not they were willing to listen to me anyone [the] detestable things of eyes their not they threw away and [the] idols of Egypt not they forsook and I said to pour out rage my on them to complete anger my on them in [the] midst of [the] land of Egypt.
“‘Koma iwo anandiwukira ndipo sanafune kundimvera. Palibe amene anataya zonyansa zonse zimene ankasangalala nazo. Panalibenso amene anasiya mafano a ku Igupto. Tsono ndinaganiza zowakhuthulira ukali wanga ndi kuwaonetsa mkwiyo wanga mʼdziko la Igupto momwemo.
9 And I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which they [were] in midst of them which I had made myself known to them to eyes their by bringing out them from [the] land of Egypt.
Koma sindinachite zimenezi chifukwa cha dzina langa, kuti lisayipitsidwe pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina amene ankakhala pakati pawo. Paja ndinali nditaonetsa mphamvu zanga pamaso pa mitunduyo potulutsa Aisraeli mʼdziko la Igupto.
10 And I brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and I brought them into the wilderness.
Choncho ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto ndi kubwera nawo mʼchipululu.
11 And I gave to them statutes my and judgments my I made known to them which he will do them the person and he will live by them.
Ndinawapatsa malangizo anga ndi kuwadziwitsa malamulo anga amene munthu aliyense akawamvera adzakhala ndi moyo.
12 And also sabbaths my I gave to them to become a sign between me and between them to know that I [am] Yahweh [who] sanctified them.
Ndinawapatsanso Masabata ngati chizindikiro pakati pathu, kuti adziwe kuti Ine Yehova ndinawapatula.
13 And they rebelled against me [the] house of Israel in the wilderness in statutes my not they walked and judgments my they rejected which he will do them the person and he will live by them and sabbaths my they profaned exceedingly and I said to pour out rage my on them in the wilderness to make an end of them.
“‘Komabe anthu a Israeli anandiwukira mʼchipululu. Iwo sanatsatire malangizo anga koma anakana malamulo anga amene munthu aliyense akawamvera adzakhala ndi moyo. Ndipo anayipitsa kotheratu Masabata anga. Choncho, ndinaganiza zowakhuthulira ukali wanga ndi kuwawononga mʼchipululu.
14 And I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which I had brought out them to eyes their.
Koma sindinachite zimenezi chifukwa cha dzina langa, kuti lisayipitsidwe pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina amene anandiona ndikutulutsa Aisraeliwo mu Igupto.
15 And also I I lifted up hand my to them in the wilderness to not to bring them into the land which I had given flowing of milk and honey [is] beauty it to all the lands.
Ndinalumbiranso kwa iwo mʼchipululu muja, nditakweza dzanja, kuti sindidzawalowetsanso mʼdziko limene ndinawapatsa, dziko la mwana alirenji, lokoma kwambiri kuposa mayiko ena onse.
16 Because judgments my they had rejected and statutes my not they had walked in them and sabbaths my they had profaned for after idols their heart their [was] walking.
Paja anakana malamulo anga, sanatsatire malangizo anga ndipo anayipitsa masabata anga. Mitima yawo inakonda mafano.
17 And it looked with compassion eye my on them from destroying them and not I made them complete destruction in the wilderness.
Komabe ndinawamvera chisoni ndipo sindinawawononge kapena kuwatheratu mʼchipululu.
18 And I said to children their in the wilderness in [the] statutes of ancestors your may not you walk and judgments their may not you keep and by idols their may not you make yourselves unclean.
Tsono kwa ana awo mʼchipululu ndinati, ‘Musatsatire malangizo a makolo anu kapena kusunga malamulo awo kapena kudziyipitsa ndi mafano awo.
19 I [am] Yahweh God your in statutes my walk and judgments my keep and do them.
Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu; tsatirani malangizo anga ndipo sungani malamulo anga.
20 And sabbaths my keep holy and they will become a sign between me and between you to know that I [am] Yahweh God your.
Masabata anga muziwasunga ngati opatulika kuti akhale chizindikiro pakati pa Ine ndi inu. Mukatero mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.’
21 And they rebelled against me the children in statutes my not they walked and judgments my not they kept to observe them which he will do them the person and he will live by them sabbaths my they profaned and I said to pour out rage my on them to complete anger my on them in the wilderness.
“‘Koma ana awo anandiwukira. Iwo sanatsatire malangizo anga, sanamvere malamulo anga, ngakhale kuti amapereka moyo kwa munthu amene amawamvera. Ndiponso anayipitsa Masabata anga. Choncho ndinaganiza zowakhuthulira ukali wanga ndi kuwawonongeratu mʼchipululu momwemo.
22 And I turned back hand my and I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which I brought out them to eyes their.
Koma sindinatero chifukwa cha dzina langa kuti lisayipitsidwe pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina amene anandiona ndikutulutsa Aisraeliwo mu Iguptomo.
23 Also I I lifted up hand my to them in the wilderness to scatter them among the nations and to disperse them among the lands.
Choncho ndinalumbira mʼchipululu, nditakweza dzanja langa, kuti ndidzawabalalitsa pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndi kuwamwazira ku mayiko akutali,
24 Because judgments my not they had done and statutes my they had rejected and sabbaths my they had profaned and after [the] idols of parents their they had been eyes their.
chifukwa sanamvere malamulo anga, anakana malangizo anga, nayipitsa masabata anga, ndi kupembedza mafano a makolo awo.
25 And also I I gave to them statutes not good and judgments [which] not they will live by them.
Ine ndinawapatsanso malangizo amene sanali abwino ndi malamulo amene sakanatha kupeza nawo moyo.
26 And I made unclean them by gifts their when made pass through every firstborn of a womb so that I may make appalled them so that this they may know that I [am] Yahweh.
Ndinawalekerera kuti adziyipitse ndi mphatso zawo zomwe, makamaka popereka ana awo oyamba kubadwa ngati nsembe zopsereza. Ndinatero kuti ndiwadetse nkhawa ndi kuti adziwe kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’
27 Therefore speak to [the] house of Israel O son of humankind and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh again this they blasphemed me ancestors your when acted unfaithfully they against me unfaithfulness.
“Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, yankhula nawo Aisraeli ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akuti makolo anu anandinyozanso posaonetsa moyo wokhulupirika.
28 And I brought them into the land which I had lifted up hand my to give it to them and they saw every hill high and every tree leafy and they sacrificed there sacrifices their and they presented there [the] provocation of offering their and they made there [the] odor of soothing their and they poured out there drink offerings their.
Nditawalowetsa mʼdziko limene ndinachita kulumbirira kuti ndidzawapatsa, iwo tsono ankapita kulikonse kumene anaona chitunda chachitali ndi mtengo wa masamba ambiri kukapereka kumeneko nsembe ndi zopereka zawo zimene zinkandikwiyitsa. Kumeneko ankapereka nsembe za fungo lokoma ndiponso nsembe za zakumwa.
29 And I said to them what? [is] the high place where you [are] the [ones who] go there and it has been called name its Bamah until the day this.
Tsono ndinawafunsa kuti: Kodi chitunda chimene mukupitako nʼchotani? Chitundachi chakhala chikutchedwa mpaka lero kuti ‘Chitunda cha Chipembedzo.’
30 Therefore say - to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ in [the] way? of ancestors your [are] you making yourselves unclean and after detestable things their [are] you? acting as prostitutes.
“Tsono uwawuze Aisraeli kuti, ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Kodi mudzadziyipitsa nokha monga anachitira makolo anu ndi kuchita chigololo ndi milungu yawo yonyansa?
31 And when lift up gifts your when make pass children your in the fire you [are] making yourselves unclean to all idols your until this day and I will I let myself be consulted? by you O house of Israel [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if I will let myself be consulted by you.
Pamene mubwera kudzapereka mphatso zanu ndi kudzapereka ana kuti akhale ngati nsembe zopsereza mumadziyipitsa ndi mafano anu mpaka lero. Kodi Aisraeli, ndingathe kukulolani bwanji kuti mulandire malangizo kwa Ine? Ndithu pali Ine wamoyo, akutero Ambuye Yehova, sindidzalola kuti mupemphe nzeru kwa Ine.
32 And the [thing which] comes up on spirit your certainly not it will happen [that] which - you [are] saying we will be like the nations like [the] clans of the lands to serve wood and stone.
“‘Inu munanena kuti, ‘Tikufuna tikhale ngati anthu a mitundu ina, ngati anthu adziko lapansi, amene amapembedza mtengo ndi mwala.’ Koma zimene mukuganizazo sizidzachitika.
33 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if not by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with rage poured out I will reign over you.
Ndithu pali Ine wamoyo, akutero Ambuye Yehova, ndi dzanja langa lamphamvu, nditasamula mkono wanga mokwiya kwambiri, Ine ndidzakhala wokulamulani.
34 And I will bring out you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with rage poured out.
Ndidzakuchotsani pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndikukusonkhanitsani kuchokera ku mayiko kumene munamwazikirako, ndi dzanja langa lamphamvu ndi lotambasuka ndili wokwiya kwambiri.
35 And I will bring you into [the] wilderness of the peoples and I will enter into judgment with you there face to face.
Ndidzakulowetsani mʼchipululu cha anthu a mitundu ina ndipo kumeneko, moonana maso ndi maso, ndidzakuzengani mlandu.
36 Just as I entered into judgment with ancestors your in [the] wilderness of [the] land of Egypt so I will enter into judgment with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Monga ndinawalangira makolo anu mʼchipululu cha dziko la Igupto, motero ndidzakulangani, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
37 And I will make pass you under the rod and I will bring you in [the] bond of the covenant.
Ndidzakuwerengani ndi ndodo ya mʼbusa, kukulowetsani mʼchimango cha pangano langa.
38 And I will purge from you those [who] rebel and those [who] transgress against me from [the] land of sojournings their I will bring out them and into [the] land of Israel not he will go and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
Ndidzakuchotserani anthu amene anandigalukira ndi kundiwukira. Ngakhale ndidzawatulutsa mʼdziko limene akukhalamo, koma sadzalowamo mʼdziko la Israeli. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
39 And you O house of Israel thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh everyone idols his go serve and after if not you [will be] listening to me and [the] name of holiness my not you will profane again by gifts your and by idols your.
“‘Koma inu Aisraeli, zimene ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova ndi izi: Pitani katumikireni mafano anu onse, aliyense wa inu! Koma mʼtsogolo mwake mudzandimvera ndithu ndipo simudzayipitsa dzina langa lopatulika popereka mphatso zanu kwa mafano.
40 For on [the] mountain of holiness my on [the] mountain of - [the] height of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh there they will serve me all [the] house of Israel all of it in the land there I will accept them and there I will seek contributions your and [the] choicest of gifts your with all holy things your.
Pakuti pa phiri langa lopatulika, phiri lalitali la ku Israeli, akutero Ambuye Yehova, Aisraeli onse adzanditumikira, ndipo kumeneko Ine ndidzawalandira. Kumeneko ndidzayembekeza zopereka zanu ndi mphatso zanu zopambana, pamodzi ndi nsembe zanu zonse zopatulika.
41 An odor of soothing I will accept you when bring out I you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them and I will show myself holy among you to [the] eyes of the nations.
Ndidzakulandirani ngati nsembe ya fungo lokoma ndikadzakutulutsani pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina ndi kukusokhanitsani kuchokera ku mayiko kumene munabalalitsidwirako. Motero ndidzadzionetsa pakati panu kuti ndine woyera ndipo mitundu ya anthu idzaona.
42 And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when bring I you into [the] land of Israel into the land which I lifted up hand my to give it to ancestors your.
Tsono mudzadziwa kuti ndine Yehova ndikadzabwera nanu ku dziko la Israeli, dziko limene ndinalumbira kuti ndidzapereka kwa makolo anu.
43 And you will remember there ways your and all practices your which you have made yourselves unclean by them and you will loathe faces your for all wicked deeds your which you have done.
Kumeneko mudzakumbukira makhalidwe anu ndi machitidwe anu onse amene munadziyipitsa nawo, ndipo mudzanyansidwa nokha chifukwa cha zoyipa zimene munachita.
44 And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when do I with you for [the] sake of name my not according to ways your wicked and according to practices your corrupt O house of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova, ndikadzakuchitirani zabwino chifukwa cha dzina langa koma osati molingana ndi njira zanu zoyipa ndi machitidwe anu okhota, inu Aisraeli, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
45 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
46 O son of humankind set face your [the] direction south-ward and prophesy against [the] south and prophesy against [the] forest of the field [the] south.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, tembenuka uyangʼane kummwera; ndipo lalika mawu odzudzula anthu akummwera ndipo unenere zodzudzula dziko la nkhalango ya kummwera.
47 And you will say to [the] forest of the south hear [the] word of Yahweh thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to kindle in you - a fire and it will consume in you every tree moist and every tree dry not it will be extinguished [the] flame of flame and they will be scorched by it all faces from [the] south [the] north towards.
Iwuze nkhalango yakummwera kuti, ‘Imvani mawu a Yehova! Ambuye Yehova akuti: Ndikuyatsa moto ndipo motowo udzapsereza mitengo yako yonse yayiwisi ndi yowuma yomwe. Malawi ake sadzazimitsika ndipo aliyense kuchokera kummwera mpaka kumpoto adzapsa nawo.
48 And they will see all flesh that I Yahweh I have kindled it not it will be extinguished.
Aliyense adzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova ndi amene ndayatsa motowo, ndipo sudzazimitsidwa.’”
49 And I said alas! O Lord Yahweh they [are] saying of me ¿ not making a parable parables [is] he.
Ndipo ine ndinati, “Aa, Ambuye Yehova! Anthu akungondinena kuti, ‘Kodi suja amangonena nthano chabe ameneyu!’”
