< Ezekiel 6 >

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Yehova anandipatsa uthenga uwu kuti,
2 “Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy to them.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, yangʼana ku mapiri a Israeli; yankhula nawo modzudzula
3 Say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says this to the mountains and to the hills, to the streambeds, and to the valleys: Behold! I am bringing a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.
kuti, ‘Inu mapiri a ku Israeli, imvani mawu a Ambuye Yehova. Iye akuwuza mapiri, magomo, mitsinje ndi zigwa kuti: Ine ndizakuthirani nkhondo ndipo ndidzawononga nyumba zanu mʼmene mukupembedzeramo mafano.
4 Then your altars will become desolate and your pillars will be destroyed, and I will throw down your dead in front of their idols.
Maguwa anu ansembe adzagumulidwa ndipo maguwa anu ofukizira lubani adzaphwanyidwa; ndipo ndidzapha anthu anu pamaso pa mafano anu.
5 I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel before their idols, and scatter your bones around your altars.
Ine ndidzagoneka mitembo ya Aisraeli pamaso pa mafano awo, ndipo ndidzamwaza mafupa anu mozungulira maguwa anu ansembe.
6 Everywhere you live, cities will be laid waste and the high places ruined, so that your altars will be laid waste and made desolate. Then they will be broken and disappear, your pillars will be cut down and your works will be wiped away.
Konse kumene mumakhala, mizinda yanu idzasanduka bwinja. Nyumba zanu zopembedzera mafano zidzagumulidwa kotero kuti maguwa anu adzawonongedwa ndi kusakazidwa, mafano anu adzaphwanyidwa ndi kuwonongedwa. Maguwa anu ofukizirapo lubani adzagwetsedwa pansi ndipo zonse zimene munapanga zidzatheratu.
7 The dead will fall down in your midst and you will know that I am Yahweh.
Anthu anu adzaphedwa pakati panu, ndipo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’
8 But I will preserve a remnant among you, and there will be some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered throughout the countries.
“Komabe ndidzasiya ena pangʼono opulumuka ku nkhondo. Iwowa ndidzawamwazira ku mayiko ena pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.
9 Then those who escape will think of me among the nations where they will be held captive, that I was grieved by their promiscuous heart that turned away from me, and by their eyes that whored after their idols. Then they will show loathing on their face for the wickedness which they have committed with all their abominations.
Pamenepo opulumuka mwa inu adzandikumbukira ku mayiko kumene anatengedwa ukapolo. Ndidzawamvetsa chisoni chifukwa cha kusakhulupirika kwawo ndi kundipandukira kuja ndiponso chifukwa kuti anayika mtima wawo pa mafano. Choncho adzachita okha manyazi chifukwa cha zoyipa zimene ankachita ndi miyambo yonyansa imene ankatsata.
10 So they will know that I am Yahweh. It was for a reason that I said I would bring this evil to them.
Ndipo iwo adzadziwa kuti ndine Yehova ndi kuti sindinkawaopseza chabe pamene ndinanena kuti ndidzawawononga.
11 The Lord Yahweh says this: Clap your hands and stomp your foot! Say, 'Alas!' because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they will fall by sword, famine, and plague.
“Ambuye Yehova akuti: Womba mʼmanja mwako ndipo uponde mapazi ako pansi mwamphamvu ndipo ufuwule kuti, ‘Mayo!’ chifukwa cha zonyansa ndi zoyipa zonse zimene Aisraeli achita, pakuti adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, njala ndi mliri.
12 The one far away will die by plague, and the one who is near will fall by the sword. Those who remain and survive will die by famine. In this way I will accomplish my fury against them.
Amene ali kutali adzafa ndi mliri, ndipo amene ali pafupi adzafa pa nkhondo, ndipo amene adzapulumuke ndi kusaphedwa adzafa ndi njala. Kotero ndidzakwaniritsa ukali wanga pa iwo.
13 Then you will know that I am Yahweh, when their dead lie among their idols, around their altars, on every high hill—on all the mountain peaks, and under every flourishing tree and thick oak—the places where they burned incense to all their idols.
Ndipo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova, pamene anthu awo adzagona atafa pakati pa mafano awo mozungulira maguwa awo ansembe, pamwamba pa magomo ndi mapiri onse, pansi pa mtengo uliwonse watambalala ndi wa thundu uliwonse wamasamba ambiri, kumalo kumene ankapereka nsembe zonunkhira kwa mafano awo onse.
14 I will strike with my hand and make the land desolate and a waste, from the wilderness to Diblah, throughout all the places where they live. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”
Choncho ndidzawalanga ndi mkono wanga ndi kusandutsa dziko kukhala bwinja. Dziko lonse kumene akukhala kuyambira ku chipululu mpaka ku mzinda wa Ribula ndidzalisandutsa bwinja. Pamenepo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
