Ezekiel 11
1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Pamenepo Mzimu wa Mulungu unandinyamula ndi kubwera nane ku chipata cha kummawa cha Nyumba ya Yehova. Kumeneko pa khomo la chipata panali anthu 25, ndipo ndinaona pakati pawo atsogoleri awa: Yaazaniya mwana wa Azuri ndi Pelatiya mwana wa Benaya.
2 He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, awa ndi anthu amene akukonza zoyipa ndi kupereka malangizo oyipa mu mzindamo.
3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
Iwo amawuza anthu kuti, ‘Nthawi sinafike yoti timange Nyumba? Mzindawu uli ngati mʼphika umene uli pa moto ndipo ife tili ngati nyama mu mʼphikamo.
4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
Choncho iwe mwana wa munthu, unenere mowadzudzula. Nenera ndithu.’”
5 The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
Ndipo Mzimu wa Yehova unandigwera ndipo unandiwuza kuti, “Unene kuti zimene akunena Yehova ndi izi. Iye akuti. ‘Izi ndi zimene mukunena, Inu Aisraeli, koma Ine ndikudziwa zimene zili mu mtima mwanu.’
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
Mwapha anthu ambiri mu mzinda muno ndipo mwadzaza misewu yake ndi mitembo.
7 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Mitembo imene mwayiponya mʼmisewuyo ndiyo nyama ndipo mzinda uno ndiwo mʼphika, koma Ine ndidzakuthamangitsanimo.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD.
Inu mumaopa lupanga, koma lupangalo ndi limene ndidzakubweretsereni, akutero Ambuye.
9 “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Ine ndidzakuthamangitsani mu mzinda ndipo ndidzakuperekani mʼdzanja la alendo kuti akulangeni.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Mudzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo ndidzakulangani mpaka kumalire a Israeli. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
11 This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
Mzinda uno sudzakhala ngati mʼphika wokutetezani ndipo simudzakhalanso ngati nyama ya mʼmenemo. Ndidzakulangani mpaka kumalire a Israeli.
12 You will know that I am the LORD, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
Ndipo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova. Inu simunatsatire malangizo anga kapena kusunga malamulo anga koma mwakhala mukutsata zochita za mitundu ina ya anthu imene yakuzungulirani.’”
13 When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
Tsono pamene ndinkanenera, Pelatiya mwana wa Benaya anafa. Pomwepo ndinadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba ndipo ndinafuwula ndi mawu aakulu kuti “Mayo, Ambuye Yehova! Kodi mudzawatheratu Aisraeli onse otsala?”
14 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
15 “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
“Anthu okhala ku Yerusalemu akuwanena abale ako, anthu a ku ukapolo, onse a banja la Israeli, kuti, ‘Anthu onse amene anatengedwa ukapolo ali kutali ndi Yehova. Dziko lanu Yehova anatipatsa kuti likhale lathulathu.’”
16 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
“Nʼchifukwa chake nena kwa anzako a ku ukapolo kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Ine ndinawatumiza kutali pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Ndinawabalalitsa ku mayiko ambiri. Komabe ndakhala ndikuwasunga ku mayiko kumene anapitako!’
17 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you Eretz-Israel.”
“Nʼchifukwa chake uwawuze zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena kuti, Ndidzawasonkhanitsa kuchokera kwa anthu a mitundu inayo ndi kuwasonkhanitsira pamodzi kuchokera ku mayiko kumene ndinawabalalitsirako. Pambuyo pake ndidzawapatsa dziko la Israeli.
18 “‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
“Akadzalowa mʼdzikomo adzachotsa mafano awo onse oyipa ndi onyansa.
19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
Ndidzawapatsa mtima watsopano ndipo ndidzayika mzimu watsopano mwa iwo. Ndidzachotsa mtima wowuma ngati mwala mwa iwo, ndipo ndidzawapatsa mtima wofewa ngati mnofu.
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Motero adzatsata malamulo anga ndipo adzasunga mosamala malamulo anga. Adzakhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo.
21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord GOD.”
Koma kunena za amene akupembedza mafano oyipa ndi onyansa, ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha zimene achita. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Tsono akerubi aja anatambasula mapiko awo kuyamba kuwuluka, mikombero ili mʼmbali mwawo. Ulemerero wa Mulungu wa Israeli unali pamwamba pawo.
23 The LORD’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Ulemerero wa Yehova unakwera ndi kusiya mzindawo ndipo unakayima pa phiri cha kummawa kwake kwa mzindawo.
24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Kasdimah, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Pambuyo pake Mzimu wa Mulungu unandinyamula ndi kukandifikitsa. Zimenezi zinkachitika mʼmasomphenya monga mmene Mzimu wa Mulungu unkandionetsera. Kenaka masomphenya amene ndinkawaonawo anayamba kuzimirira.
25 Then I spoke to the captives all the things that the LORD had shown me.
Ndipo ndinafotokozera akapolowo zonse zimene Yehova anandionetsa.
