Ezekiel 16
1 Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
2 “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, udzudzule Yerusalemu za ntchito zake zonyansa.
3 and say, ‘The Lord GOD says to Jerusalem: “Your origin and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite. An Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.
Umuwuze kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akukuwuza, iwe Yerusalemu kuti: Kwawo kwa makolo ako ndi ku Kanaani ndipo iwe unabadwira komweko. Abambo ako anali Mwamori, amayi ako anali Mhiti.
4 As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut. You weren’t washed in water to cleanse you. You weren’t salted at all, nor wrapped in blankets at all.
Pa tsiku lomwe unabadwa sanadule mchombo wako. Sanakusambitse mʼmadzi kuti uyere. Sanakuthire mchere kapena kukukulunga mʼnsalu.
5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, because you were abhorred in the day that you were born.
Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe anakusamala kapena kukumvera chisoni kuti akuchitire zimenezi. Mʼmalo mwake anakutaya panja poyera, chifukwa ananyansidwa nawe pa tsiku lako lobadwa.
6 “‘“When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’ Yes, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’
“‘Tsono pamene ndinkadutsa, ndinakuona ukuvimvinizika mʼmagazi ako. Ndinakuyankhula uli mʼmagazi ako omwewo kuti, ‘Khala ndi moyo,’
7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent beauty. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew; yet you were naked and bare.
ndi kuti ukule ngati mbewu ya mʼmunda. Iwe unakula ndipo unatalika ndi kutha msinkhu. Mawere ako anayamba kumera ndi tsitsi lakonso linayamba kutalika. Komabe unali wamaliseche ndi wausiwa.
8 “‘“Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my garment over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says the Lord GOD, “and you became mine.
“‘Tsono pamene ndinkadutsanso ndinaona kuti nthawi yako yomanga banja inakwana. Tsono ndinakufunditsa chovala changa ndi kubisa umaliseche wako. Ndinachita nawe pangano la ukwati ndipo unakhala wanga, akutero Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse.
9 “‘“Then I washed you with water. Yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
“‘Ine ndinakusambitsa mʼmadzi kutsuka magazi ako ndikukudzoza mafuta.
10 I clothed you also with embroidered work and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
Ndinakuveka zovala zopetapeta ndi nsapato za chikopa. Ndinakuveka zovala zabafuta ndi kukuveka zovala za bafuta.
11 I decked you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands, and put a chain on your neck.
Ndinakukongoletsa ndi zokometsera zamtengowapatali: ndinakuveka zibangiri mʼmanja mwako ndi mkanda mʼkhosi mwako,
12 I put a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
ndipo ndinakuveka chipini pa mphuno yako, ndolo ku makutu ako ndiponso chipewa chaufumu pa mutu wako.
13 Thus you were decked with gold and silver. Your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered work. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.
Choncho unavala zokongoletsa zagolide ndi siliva. Zovala zako zinali zabafuta, zasilika ndi za nsalu zopetapeta. Chakudya chako chinali ufa wosalala uchi ndi mafuta a olivi. Motero unakhala wokongola kwambiri ndipo unasanduka mfumukazi.
14 Your renown went out amongst the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,” says the Lord GOD.
Ndipo mbiri ya kukongola kwako inawanda pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina, chifukwa ulemerero umene ndinakupatsa unapititsa patsogolo kukongola kwako, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
15 “‘“But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by. It was his.
“‘Koma iwe unatama kukongola kwako ndipo unayamba kuchita zadama chifukwa cha kutchuka kwako. Unkachita chigololo ndi kumangodzipereka kwa aliyense wodutsa ndipo kukongola kwako kunakhala kwake.
16 You took some of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colours, and played the prostitute on them. This shouldn’t happen, neither shall it be.
Unatenga zovala zako zina nukakongoletsera malo opembedzerako mafano, ndipo kumeneko umachitirako zigololo. Zinthu izi sizinachitikepo nʼkale lomwe ndipo sizidzachitikanso.
17 You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them.
Unatenga zokongoletsera zopangidwa ndi golide ndi siliva zimene ndinakupatsa ndipo unadzipangira wekha mafano aamuna amene unkachita nawo za dama.
18 You took your embroidered garments, covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
Ndipo iwe unatenga zovala zako zopetapeta ndi kuveka mafano. Mafuta anga ndi lubani wanga unapereka kwa mafanowo.
19 My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so it was,” says the Lord GOD.
Chakudya chimene ndinakupatsa, ufa, mafuta ndi uchi, zimene ndinkakudyetsa nazo unazitenga nʼkuzipereka kwa mafanowo ngati nsembe ya fungo lokoma. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
20 “‘“Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,
“‘Ndipo unatenga ana ako aamuna ndi ana aakazi amene unandibalira ine, ndipo unakawapereka ngati nsembe kwa mafanowo. Kodi zigololo zakozo sizinakukwanire
21 that you have slain my children and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
kuti uziphanso ana anga ndi kuwapereka ngati nsembe kwa mafano akowo?
22 In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.
Chifukwa cha zadama zako zonyansazi unayiwala masiku a ubwana wako pamene unali wamaliseche, wausiwa ndiponso womangovivinizika mʼmagazi.
23 “‘“It has happened after all your wickedness—woe, woe to you!” says the Lord GOD—
“‘Tsoka! Tsoka kwa iwe, akutero Ambuye Yehova chifukwa powonjezera pa zoyipa zako zonse,
24 “that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.
wadzimangira wekha nsanja ndi guwa pa mabwalo onse.
25 You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.
Pa msewu uliwonse wamanga nsanjazo. Motero wanyazitsa kukongola kwako podzipereka kwa aliyense amene adutsapo.
26 You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.
Umachita chigololo ndi Aigupto, anthu adama oyandikana nawe. Choncho unandikwiyitsa chifukwa unachulukitsa za dama zako.
27 See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your portion, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
Nʼchifukwa chake ndinatambasula dzanja langa kukukantha ndi kuchepetsa dziko lako. Ndinakupereka kwa adani ako, Afilisti amene amayipidwa ndi makhalidwe ako onyansa.
28 You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied.
Chifukwa cha chilakolako chako unachitanso zadama ndi Aasiriya. Ngakhale unachita nawo chigololo koma sunakhutitsidwebe.
29 You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this.
Choncho unapitirirabe kuchita chigololo ndi Ababuloni, anthu a mʼdziko lokonda zamalonda. Ngakhale unachita izi, komabe sunakhutitsidwe.
30 “‘“How weak is your heart,” says the Lord GOD, “since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;
“‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Mtima wako ndi wofowoka kwambiri chifukwa unachita zonsezo monga ngati mkazi wopanga manyazi.
31 in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.
Unamanga nsanja pa msewu uliwonse. Unamanganso kachisi pabwalo lililonse. Komabe sunachite ngati mkazi wadama chifukwa unakana malipiro.
32 “‘“Adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband!
“‘Iwe mkazi wachigololo! Umakonda amuna achilendo kupambana mwamuna wakowako!
33 People give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
Amuna ndiwo amapereka malipiro kwa mkazi wadama. Koma iwe ndi amene ukupereka mphatso kwa zibwenzi zako zonse. Choncho umazinyengerera kuti zizibwera kwa iwe kuchokera mbali zonse kudzagona nawe.
34 You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.”’
Chotero iwe ukusiyana ndi akazi ena achigololo, pakuti palibe amene ankakunyengerera kuti uchite naye chigololo. Iweyo ndiye unkapereka ndalama osati ena kukupatsa ndalama ayi. Motero unalidi wosiyana kwambiri ndi akazi ena.
35 “Therefore, prostitute, hear the LORD’s word:
“‘Tsono mkazi wachigololo iwe, imva mawu a Yehova!
36 ‘The Lord GOD says, “Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;
Ambuye Yehova akuti, popeza unavula ndi kuonetsa umaliseche wako mopanda manyazi, unachita chigololo ndi zibwenzi zako pamodzi ndi mafano ako onyansa, komanso popeza unapereka ana ako kuti aphedwe ngati nsembe zoperekedwa kwa mafano,
37 therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those whom you have loved, with all those whom you have hated. I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndidzasonkhanitsa zibwenzi zako zonse, zimene unkasangalala nazo, amene unkawakonda ndi amene unkawada. Ndidzawasonkhanitsa motsutsana nawe kuchokera ku madera onse okuzungulira ndipo Ine ndidzakuvula pamaso pawo, ndipo iwo adzaona umaliseche wako wonse.
38 I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
Ine ndidzakulanga monga mmene amalangira akazi amene amachita chigololo ndiponso opha anthu. Chifukwa cha ukali wanga ndi nsanje yanga, ndidzakhetsa magazi ako mokwiya kwambiri.
39 I will also give you into their hand, and they will throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places. They will strip you of your clothes and take your beautiful jewels. They will leave you naked and bare.
Ndidzakupereka mʼmanja mwa zibwenzi zako ndi kuwononga nyumba zopembedzera mafano ako. Iwo adzakuvula zovala zako ndi kutenga zodzikometsera zako zabwino. Choncho adzakusiya wa maliseche ndi wausiwa.
40 They will also bring up a company against you, and they will stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
Iwo adzabweretsa gulu la anthu limene lidzakuponya miyala ndi kukutematema ndi malupanga awo.
41 They will burn your houses with fire, and execute judgements on you in the sight of many women. I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you will also give no hire any more.
Adzatentha nyumba zako ndi kukulanga iwe pamaso pa akazi ambiri. Ndidzathetsa chigololo chako, ndipo sudzalipiranso zibwenzi zako.
42 So I will cause my wrath towards you to rest, and my jealousy will depart from you. I will be quiet, and will not be angry any more.
Ukali wanga udzalekera pamenepo ndipo sindidzakuchitiranso nsanje. Ndidzakhala chete osakwiyanso.
43 “‘“Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head,” says the Lord GOD: “and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
“‘Popeza sunakumbukire masiku a ubwana wako koma unandikwiyitsa ndi zinthu zonsezi, Ine ndidzakubwezera ndithu chilango pamutu pako chifukwa cha zimene wachita, akutero Ambuye Yehova. Paja unawonjezera chigololo pa machitidwe ako onyansa.
44 “‘“Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’
“‘Taona, onse onena miyambi adzakuphera mwambi wakuti, ‘Make mbuu, mwana mbuu.’
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Ndiwedi mwana weniweni wamkazi wa mayi wako, amene amanyoza mwamuna wake ndi ana ake. Ndiwe mʼbale weniweni wa abale ako, amene amanyoza amuna awo ndi ana awo. Amayi ako anali Mhiti ndipo abambo ako anali Mwamori.
46 Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.
Mkulu wako anali Samariya, ndipo iye pamodzi ndi ana ake aakazi ankakhala cha kumpoto kwako. Mngʼono wako, Sodomu ankakhala cha kummwera kwako pamodzi ndi ana ake aakazi.
47 Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done their abominations; but soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.
Iwe sunangotsatira kokha njira zawo zoyipa ndi kuchita zonyansa zawo, koma patangopita nthawi pangʼono machitidwe ako oyipa anaposa awo.
48 As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
Ndithu pali Ine wamoyo, akutero Ambuye Yehova, ngakhale mʼbale wako Sodomu ndi ana ake aakazi sanachitepo zimene iwe ndi ana ako aakazi munachita.
49 “‘“Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters. She also didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
“‘Tsono tchimo la mʼbale wako Sodomu linali ili: Iye ndi ana ake aakazi ankanyadira kuchuluka kwa chakudya ndi chuma chawo. Koma sanalabadireko kuthandiza osauka ndi aumphawi.
50 They were arrogant and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it.
Anali odzitukumula ndipo ankachita zonyansa pamaso panga. Nʼchifukwa chake ndinawachotsa monga mmene waoneramu.
51 Samaria hasn’t committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.
Samariya sanachite ngakhale theka la machimo amene unachita. Iwe wachita zinthu zonyansa zambiri kuposa iwo, motero kuti abale ako awiriwo amaoneka ngati olungama kuyerekeza ndi iye.
52 You also bear your own shame yourself, in that you have given judgement for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
Tsono iwenso uyenera kuchita manyazi popeza waonetsa abale ako ngati osachimwa. Popeza kuti machimo ako ndi onyansa kwambiri kupambana awo, tsonotu iwowo akuoneka olungama kupambana iweyo. Choncho iwenso uchite manyazi ndi kunyozedwa popeza unaonetsa abale ako ngati olungama.
53 “‘“I will reverse their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives amongst them;
“‘Koma, ndidzadalitsanso Sodomu ndi ana ake aakazi. Ndidzadalitsanso Samariya ndi ana ake aakazi. Pa nthawi yomweyo ndidzakudalitsanso iwe Yerusalemu.
54 that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.
Ndidzatero kuti uchite manyazi ndi kunyozeka chifukwa cha zonse zimene unachita powatonthoza anthuwa.
55 Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former estate; and you and your daughters will return to your former estate.
Motero mʼbale wako Sodomu ndi ana ake akadzakhala monga mmene analili poyamba paja, ndiponso mʼbale wako Samariya akadzakhalanso monga mmene anali poyamba paja, ndiye kuti iwenso ndi ana ako mudzakhala monga mmene munalili payamba paja.
56 For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
Kale lija pamene unkanyada, suja unkanyogodola mʼbale wako Sodomu
57 before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you all around.
kuyipa kwako kusanadziwike? Koma tsopano wafanana naye. Wasandukano chinthu chonyozeka kwa anthu a ku Edomu ndi kwa onse owazungulira ndiponso kwa Afilisti. Ndithu onse amene akuzungulira amakunyoza.
58 You have borne your lewdness and your abominations,” says the LORD.
Choncho udzalangidwa chifukwa cha zigololo zako ndi machitidwe anu onyansa, akutero Yehova.
59 “‘For the Lord GOD says: “I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzakulanga molingana ndi zimene unachita. Iwe unanyoza lumbiro lako pophwanya pangano langa.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
Komabe, Ine ndidzakumbukira pangano limene ndinachita nawe mʼmasiku a unyamata wako, ndipo ndidzakhazikitsa pangano losatha ndi iwe.
61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
Tsono udzakumbukira njira zako zakale. Udzachita manyazi polandiranso abale ako, wamkulu ndi wamngʼono yemwe. Ndidzawaperekanso kwa iwe kuti akhale ngati ana ako ngakhale kuti sali a mʼpangano langa ndi iwe.
62 I will establish my covenant with you. Then you will know that I am the LORD;
Kotero ndidzakhazikitsa pangano langa ndi iwe, ndipo iwe udzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
63 that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done,” says the Lord GOD.’”
Ndikadzakukhululukira zoyipa zako zonse zimene unachita, udzazikumbukira ndipo udzachita manyazi kwambiri, kotero kuti sudzatha nʼkuyankhula komwe, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
