Ezekiel 13
1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
“Iwe mwana wa munthu unenere modzudzula aneneri a Israeli amene akunenera za kukhosi kwawo. Uwawuze iwowa kuti, ‘Imvani mawu a Yehova!’
3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Tsoka kwa aneneri opusa amene amangonenera zopeka ngakhale kuti sanaone kanthu konse!’
4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
Iwe Israeli, aneneri ako ali ngati nkhandwe pa mabwinja.
5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
Simunakwere khoma kuti mukakonze mʼmene munagumuka, kuti Aisraeli adziteteze kolimba pa nkhondo pa tsiku la Yehova.
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.
Masomphenya awo ndi achabe ndipo kuwombeza kwawo ndi kwabodza. Iwo amati, ‘Yehova akutero,’ pomwe Yehova sanawatume. Komabe iwo amayembekezera kuti zimene ayankhulazo zichitikadi.
7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it], although I have not spoken?
Koma Ine ndikuti masomphenya anu ngachabechabe ndi zimene mwawombedzazo nʼzabodza. Mumanena kuti, ‘Akutero Yehova,’ pamene sindinayankhule nʼkomwe.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.
“Tsono Ine Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse ndikukutsutsani chifukwa cha zoyankhula zanu zonama ndi masomphenya anu abodzawo. Ndikutero Ine Yehova.
9 And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
Ndidzalanga aneneri amene amanenera zabodza za zinthu zimene amati anaziona mʼmasomphenya. Sadzakhala nawo mʼbwalo la anthu anga ndipo mayina awo sadzalembedwa mu kawundula wa nzika za Israeli. Sadzalowa nawo mʼdziko la Israeli. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Ambuye Yehova.
10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar]:
“Popeza kuti aneneri asocheretsa anthu anga pomanena kuti, ‘Kuli mtendere’ pamene mtendere palibe; ndiponso anthu akamanga khoma iwo nʼkumalipaka njereza,
11 Say to them who daub [it] with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].
choncho ufotokozere amene alipaka njerezawo kuti khomalo lidzagwa. Mvula idzagwa mwamphamvu, kudzagwa matalala akuluakulu, ndipo kudzawomba mphepo yamkuntho.
12 Lo, when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where [is] the daubing with which ye have daubed [it]?
Pamene khomalo lagwa, kodi anthu sadzakufunsani kuti, ‘Kodi njereza yemwe munapaka uja ali kuti?’
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend [it] with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it].
“Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti: Mwa ukali ndidzakunthitsa mphepo ya mkuntho. Ndidzagwetsa matalala akuluakulu ndili ndi ukali ndipo ndidzavumbwitsa mvula yamphamvu ndi mkwiyo mpaka khomalo litawonongeka kotheratu.
14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be made bare, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Ndidzagwetsa khoma limene munalipaka njerezalo. Ndidzaligumuliratu mpaka pansi kotero kuti maziko ake adzaoneka. Khomalo likadzagwa, inu mudzawonongekamo; ndipo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar], and will say to you, The wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed it;
Kotero ndidzagwiritsa ntchito mkwiyo wanga pa khomali ndi pa amene analipaka njereza. Pambuyo pake ndidzakuwuzani kuti, ‘Khoma lagwa pamodzi ndi amene analipaka njereza.
16 [To wit], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
Agwanso aneneri a Yerusalemu amene ankalosa za Yerusalemu nʼkumati anaona mʼmasomphenya za mtendere wa Yerusalemu pamene mtendere kunalibe konse, akutero Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse.’
17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
“Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, yankhulapo pa nkhani za akazi amene ali pakati pa anthu ako. Iwo amanenera zopeka za mʼmutu mwawo. Tsono adzudzule.
18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all arm-holes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive [that come] to you?
Uwawuze kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Tsoka kwa akazi amene amasoka zithumwa zapamkono, amenenso amasoka nsalu za kumutu za anthu. Kodi mufuna kukola mitima ya anthu anga, inuyo nʼkupulumutsa moyo wanu?
19 And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear [your] lies?
Ponamiza anthu anga amene amamva za mabodza anu, inu mwapha anthu amene sanayenera kufa ndipo mwasiya ndi moyo amene sanayenera kukhala ndi moyo.
20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, with which ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.
“‘Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ine ndikudana ndi zithumwa zanu zimene mumakokera nazo mitima ya anthu ngati mbalame. Ndidzazingʼamba kudzichotsa pa mikono yanu. Choncho ndidzapulumutsa miyoyo ya anthu amene munawakola ngati mbalame.
21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Ndidzangʼamba nsalu zanu za matsengazo ndi kupulumutsa anthu anga mʼmanja mwanu, ndipo simudzakhalanso ndi mphamvu yowakolera. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
Popeza kuti munatayitsa mtima anthu olungama ngakhale sindinafune kuti ataye mtima; ndipo munalimbitsa anthu oyipa kuti asaleka machimo awo motero sakutha kupulumutsa moyo wawo,
23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
choncho inu simudzaonanso masomphenya abodza kapena kuwombeza. Ine ndidzapulumutsa anthu anga mʼmanja mwanu. Ndipo pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’”
