Ezekiel 7
1 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Yehova anandipatsa uthenga uwu kuti,
2 “You, son of man, the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuwuza dziko la Israeli kuti: “Chimaliziro! Chimaliziro chafika ku ngodya zinayi za dziko.
3 Now the end is on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways. I will bring on you all your abominations.
Chimaliziro chili pa iwe tsopano. Mkwiyo wanga ndidzawuthira pa iwe. Ndidzakuweruza molingana ndi machitidwe ako ndi kukulanga chifukwa cha zonyansa zako.
4 My eye will not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations will be among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’
Ine sindidzakumvera chisoni kapena kukuleka. Ndidzakulanga ndithu chifukwa cha ntchito zako zoyipa komanso chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa imene ili pakati pako. Pamenepo udzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
5 “The Lord GOD says: ‘A disaster! A unique disaster! Behold, it comes.
“Zimene ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova ndi izi: “Chiwonongeko! Chiwonongeko chimene sichinamvekepo! Taona chikubwera!
6 An end has come. The end has come! It awakes against you. Behold, it comes.
Chimaliziro chafika! Chimaliziro chafika! Chiwonongeko chakugwera. Taona chafika!
7 Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land! The time has come! The day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains.
Inu anthu okhala mʼdziko, chiwonongeko chakugwerani. Nthawi yafika, tsiku layandikira; tsiku la chisokonezo osati la chimwemwe pa mapiri.
8 Now I will shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways. I will bring on you all your abominations.
Ine ndili pafupi kukukwiyirani, ndipo ukali wanga udzathera pa iwe; Ine ndidzakuweruza molingana ndi machitidwe ako ndiponso ndidzakulanga chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa.
9 My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways. Your abominations will be among you. Then you will know that I, the LORD, strike.
Ine sindidzakumvera chisoni kapena kukuleka. Ndidzakulanga malingana ndi ntchito zako ndiponso chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa pakati pako.
10 “‘Behold, the day! Behold, it comes! Your doom has gone out. The rod has blossomed. Pride has budded.
“Taona, tsikulo! Taona, lafika! Chiwonongeko chako chabwera. Ndodo yaphuka mphundu za maluwa. Kudzitama kwaphuka.
11 Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them will remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There will be nothing of value among them.
Chiwawa chasanduka ndodo yowakwapulira chifukwa cha kuyipa kwawo. Palibe mwa anthu amenewo amene adzatsale. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa unyinji wawo. Palibiretu ndipo sipadzapezeka munthu wowalira maliro.
12 The time has come! The day draws near. Don’t let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.
Nthawi yafika! Tsiku layandikira! Munthu wogula asakondwere ndipo wogulitsa asamve chisoni, popeza ukali wanga uli pa gulu lonse.
13 For the seller won’t return to that which is sold, although they are still alive; for the vision concerns the whole multitude of it. None will return. None will strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
Wogulitsa sadzazipezanso zinthu zimene anagulitsa kwa wina chinkana onse awiri akanali ndi moyo, pakuti chilango chidzagwera onsewo ndipo sichingasinthike. Chifukwa cha machimo awo, palibe aliyense amene adzapulumutsa moyo wake.
14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but no one goes to the battle, for my wrath is on all its multitude.
“Lipenga lalira, ndipo zonse zakonzeka. Koma palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene akupita ku nkhondo, pakuti mkwiyo wanga uli pa gulu lonse.
15 “‘The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within. He who is in the field will die by the sword. He who is in the city will be devoured by famine and pestilence.
Ku bwalo kuli kumenyana ndipo mʼkati muli mliri ndi njala. Anthu okhala ku midzi adzafa ndi nkhondo. Iwo okhala ku mizinda adzafa ndi mliri ndi njala.
16 But of those who escape, they will escape and will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, everyone in his iniquity.
Onse amene adzapulumuka ndi kumakakhala ku mapiri, azidzalira ngati nkhunda za ku zigwa. Aliyense azidzabuwula chifukwa cha machimo ake.
17 All hands will be feeble, and all knees will be weak as water.
Dzanja lililonse lidzalefuka, ndipo bondo lililonse lidzalobodoka ngati madzi.
18 They will also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror will cover them. Shame will be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.
Iwo adzavala ziguduli ndipo adzagwidwa ndi mantha. Adzakhala ndi nkhope zamanyazi ndipo mitu yawo adzameta mpala.
19 They will cast their silver in the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold won’t be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath. They won’t satisfy their souls or fill their bellies; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
“Iwo adzataya siliva wawo mʼmisewu ndipo golide wawo adzakhala chinthu chonyansa. Siliva ndi golide wawo sizidzatha kuwapulumutsa pa tsiku la ukali wa Yehova. Chuma chawochi sichidzawathandiza kuthetsa njala, kapena kukhala okhuta, pakuti ndicho chinawagwetsa mʼmachimo.
20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein. Therefore I have made it to them as an unclean thing.
Iwo ankanyadira zodzikongoletsera zawo zamakaka ndipo ankazigwiritsa ntchito kupanga mafano awo onyansa ndi zonyansa zawo zina. Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndidzazisandutsa kukhala zowanyansa.
21 I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a plunder; and they will profane it.
Ndidzazipereka kwa alendo kuti azifunkhe. Anthu oyipa a dziko lapansi adzazilanda ndi kudziyipitsa.
22 I will also turn my face from them, and they will profane my secret place. Robbers will enter into it, and profane it.
Ine ndidzawalekerera anthuwo ndipo adzayipitsa malo anga apamtima. Adzalowamo ngati mbala ndi kuyipitsamo.
23 “‘Make chains, for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
“Konzani maunyolo, chifukwa dziko ladzaza ndi anthu opha anzawo ndipo mzinda wadzaza ndi chiwawa.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong to cease. Their holy places will be profaned.
Ndidzabweretsa mitundu ya anthu oyipitsitsa kuti idzalande nyumba zawo. Ndidzathetsa kunyada kwa anthu amphamvu pamene anthu akunja adzalowa mʼmalo awo achipembedzo ndi kuyipitsamo.
25 Destruction comes! They will seek peace, and there will be none.
Nkhawa ikadzawafikira adzafunafuna mtendere koma osawupeza.
26 Mischief will come on mischief, and rumor will be on rumor. They will seek a vision of the prophet; but the law will perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
Tsoka lidzatsatana ndi tsoka linzake, ndipo mphekesera idzatsatana ndi mphekesera inzake. Iwo adzayesa kufuna masomphenya kuchokera kwa mneneri. Adzasowa ansembe owaphunzitsa malamulo, ndipo anthu akuluakulu sadzakhalanso ndi uphungu.
27 The king will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with desolation. The hands of the people of the land will be troubled. I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgments I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
Mfumu idzalira, kalonga adzagwidwa ndi mantha. Manja a anthu a mʼdzikomo azidzangonjenjemera ndi mantha. Ine ndidzawalanga molingana ndi machitidwe awo, ndipo ndidzawaweruza molingana ndi momwe anaweruzira anzawo.
