< Ezekiel 1 >

1 And it was don, in the thrittithe yeer, in the fourthe monethe, in the fyuethe dai of the moneth, whanne Y was in the myddis of caitifs, bisidis the flood Chobar, heuenes weren openyd, and Y siy the reuelaciouns of God.
Tsiku lachisanu la mwezi wachinayi, chaka cha makumi atatu, ine ndinali pakati pa amʼndende mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Kebara. Tsono kumwamba kunatsekuka ndipo ndinaona maonekedwe a Mulungu mʼmasomphenya.
2 In the fyueth dai of the monethe; thilke is the fyuethe yeer of passing ouer of Joachym, kyng of Juda;
Pa tsiku lachisanu la mwezi, chaka chachisanu Yehoyakini ali mʼndende,
3 the word of the Lord was maad to Ezechiel, preest, the sone of Busi, in the lond of Caldeis, bisidis the flood Chobar; and the hond of the Lord was maad there on hym.
Yehova anayankhula ndi wansembe Ezekieli, mwana wa Buzi, mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Kebara mʼdziko la Ababuloni. Dzanja la Yehova linali pa iye kumeneko.
4 And Y siy, and lo! a whirlewynd cam fro the north, and a greet cloude, and fier wlappynge in, and briytnesse in the cumpas therof; and as the licnesse of electre fro the myddis therof, that is, fro the myddis of the fier.
Ndinayangʼana ndipo ndinangoona mphepo yamkuntho ikubwera kuchokera kumpoto. Panali mtambo waukulu wozunguliridwa ndi kuwala ndipo moto unali lawilawi kuchokera mu mtambowo. Pakati pa motowo pankaoneka ngati mkuwa wonyezimira.
5 And of myddis therof was a licnesse of foure beestis. And this was the biholdyng of tho, the licnesse of a man in tho.
Mʼkatikati mwa motowo munali zinthu zinayi zamaonekedwe a nyama. Thupi lawo limaoneka ngati la munthu
6 And foure faces weren to oon, and foure wyngis weren to oon.
koma chilichonse chinali ndi nkhope zinayi ndiponso mapiko anayi.
7 And the feet of tho weren streiyt feet, and the soole of the foote of tho was as the soole of a foot of a calf, and sparclis, as the biholdynge of buylynge bras.
Miyendo yake inali yowongoka; mapazi ake anali a ziboda ngati phazi la mwana wangʼombe. Ndipo zibodazo zinkawala ngati mkuwa wonyezimira.
8 And the hondis of a man weren vndur the wyngis of tho, in foure partis. And tho hadden faces and wyngis bi foure partis;
Mʼmunsi mwa mapiko awo kumbali zonse zinayi, nyamazo zinali ndi manja a munthu. Zonse zinayi zinali ndi nkhope ndi mapiko,
9 and the wyngis of tho weren ioyned togidir of oon to another. Tho turneden not ayen, whanne tho yeden, but eche yede bifore his face.
ndipo mapiko awowo anakhudzana. Chilichonse chimapita molunjika kutsogolo; sizimatembenuka pamene zimayenda.
10 Forsothe the licnesse `of the face of tho was the face of a man and the face of a lioun at the riythalf of tho foure. Forsothe the face of an oxe was at the left half of tho foure; and the face of an egle was aboue tho foure.
Nkhope zawo zimaoneka motere: Chilichonse chinali ndi nkhope ya munthu, ndipo mbali ya kumanja chilichonse chinali ndi nkhope zinayi zosiyana motere: nkhope ya munthu, nkhope ya mkango ku dzanja lamanja, nkhope ya ngʼombe ku dzanja lamanzere, ndipo kumbuyo kwake nkhope ya chiwombankhanga.
11 And the faces of tho and the wengis of tho weren stretchid forth aboue. Twei wyngis of eche weren ioyned togidere, and tweyne hiliden the bodies of tho.
Ndi mʼmene zinalili nkhope zawo. Mapiko awo anali otambasukira mmwamba. Chamoyo chilichonse chinali ndi mapiko awiri okhudzana ndi mapiko a chinzake. Chinalinso ndi mapiko ena awiri ophimbira thupi lake.
12 And ech of tho yede bifore his face. Where the fersnesse of the wynd was, thidur tho yeden, and turneden not ayen, whanne tho yeden.
Zamoyozo zinkayenda molunjika kutsogolo. Kulikonse kumene mzimu umazitsogolera kupita, nazonso zimapita kumeneko, osatembenuka pamene zikupita.
13 And the licnesse of the beestis, and the biholdyng of tho, was as of brennynge coolis of fier, and as the biholdyng of laumpis. This was the siyt rennynge aboute in the myddis of beestis, the schynyng of fier, and leit goynge out of the fier.
Pakati pa zamayozo panali chinthu chooneka ngati makala oyaka kapena miyuni yoyaka. Moto umayendayenda pakati pa zamayozo; wowala kwambiri, ndipo mphenzi zimatuluka pakati pawo.
14 And the beestis yeden, and turneden ayen at the licnesse of leit schynynge.
Zamoyozo zinkathamanga uku ndi uko ngati kungʼanima kwa mphenzi.
15 And whanne Y bihelde the beestis, o wheel, hauuynge foure faces, apperide on the erthe, bisidis the beestis.
Pamene ndinali kuyangʼana zamoyozo, ndinangoona mikombero ndipo pansi pambali pa chamoyo chilichonse panali mkombero umodzi.
16 And the biholdyng of the wheelis and the werk of tho was as the siyt of the see; and o licnesse was of tho foure; and the biholdyng and the werkis of tho, as if a wheel be in the myddis of a wheel.
Maonekedwe a mikomberoyo anali ngati mwala wonyezimira. Mikombero yonse inali yofanana ndipo mapangidwe awo anali ngati wongolowanalowana.
17 Tho goynge yeden bi foure partis of tho, and turneden not ayen, whanne tho yeden.
Mikombero ija poyenda inkatha kupita mbali iliyonse yomwe zamoyozo zinayangʼana popanda kutembenuka.
18 Also stature, and hiynesse, and orible biholdyng was to the wheelis; and al the bodi was ful of iyen in the cumpas of tho foure.
Marimu a mikomberoyo anali aatali ndi ochititsa mantha ndipo marimu onse anayi anali ndi maso ponseponse.
19 And whanne the beestis yeden, the wheelis also yeden togidere bisidis tho. And whanne the beestis weren reisid fro the erthe, the wheelis also weren reisid togidere.
Zamoyozo zinkati zikamayenda, mikomberoyo imayendanso mʼmbali mwake; ndipo zamoyozo zinkati zikamakwera mmwamba, mikomberoyo imakweranso.
20 Whidur euere the spirit yede, whanne the spirit yede thedur, also the wheelis suynge it weren reisid togidere; for whi the spirit of lijf was in the wheelis.
Kulikonse kumene mzimu wake unkazitsogolera, zamoyozo zinkapita komweko. Ndipo mikombero ija inkapita nawo pamodzi popeza kuti mzimu wa zamoyozo ndiwo umayendetsa mikombero ija.
21 Tho yeden with the beestis goynge, and tho stoden with the beestis stondynge. And with the beestis reisid fro erthe, also the wheelis suynge tho beestis weren reisid togidere; for the spirit of lijf was in the wheelis.
Zamoyo zija zinkati zikamayenda mikombero imayendanso. Zamoyozo zimati zikayima, nayonso mikombero inkayima. Zamoyozo zinkati zikawuluka, mikomberonso imawuluka nazo pamodzi chifukwa mzimu wa zamoyo zija ndiwo umayendetsa mikombero ija.
22 And the licnesse of the firmament was aboue the heed of the beestis, and as the biholdyng of orible cristal, and stretchid abrood on the heed of tho beestis aboue.
Pamwamba pa mitu ya zamoyozo panali chinthu chonga thambo, lowala ndipo kunyezimira kwake ngati galasi loyangʼanitsa ku dzuwa, loyalidwa pamwamba pa mitu yake.
23 Forsothe vndur the firmament the wyngis of tho beestis weren streiyt, of oon to anothir; ech beeste hilide his bodi with twei wyngis, and an other was hilid in lijk maner.
Zamoyozo zinatambalitsa mapiko ake mʼmunsi mwa thambo lija, mapiko ake ena kumakhudzana, mapiko awiri kumaphimba thupi lake.
24 And Y herde the sown of wyngis, as the sown of many watris, as the sown of hiy God. Whanne tho yeden, ther was as a sown of multitude, as the sown of oostis of batel; and whanne tho stoden, the wyngis of tho weren late doun.
Pamene zamoyo zimayenda ndimamva phokoso la mapiko ake, ngati mkokomo wa madzi ambiri, ngati liwu la Wamphamvuzonse, ngati phokoso la gulu lankhondo. Zimati zikayima zinkagwetsa mapiko ake.
25 For whi whanne a vois was maad on the firmament, that was on the heed of tho, tho stoden, and leten doun her wyngis.
Ndipo panamveka mawu kuchokera pamwamba pa thambo la pa mitu ya zamoyo zija. Nthawi iyi nʼkuti zamoyozo zitayima ndi kugwetsa pansi mapiko ake.
26 And on the firmament, that was aboue the heed of tho, was as the biholdyng of a saphire stoon, the licnesse of a trone; and on the licnesse of the trone was a licnesse, as the biholdyng of a man aboue.
Pamwamba pa thambo la pa mitu yake panali chinthu chimene chimaoneka ngati mpando waufumu wopangidwa ndi mwala wa safiro, ndipo pamwamba pa mpando waufumuwo panali chinthu chooneka ngati munthu.
27 And Y siy as a licnesse of electre, as the biholding of fier with ynne, bi the cumpas therof; fro the lendis of hym and aboue, and fro the lendis of him til to bynethe, Y siy as the licnesse of fier schynynge in cumpas,
Ndinaona kuti mmwamba mwa chiwuno chake munali ngati chitsulo chowala konsekonse ngati moto. Mʼmunsi mwa chiwuno chake munalinso ngati moto wokhawokha. Kuwala kwa mphamvu kunamuzungulira munthuyo.
28 as the biholdynge of the reynbowe, whanne it is in the cloude in the dai of reyn. This was the biholdyng of schynyng bi cumpas. This was a siyt of the licnesse of the glorie of the Lord. And Y siy, and felle doun on my face; and Y herde the vois of a spekere.
Kuwalako kunali ndi maonekedwe a utawaleza mʼmitambo tsiku limene kwagwa mvula. Umu ndi mmene ulemerero wa Yehova umaonekera. Pamene ndinawuona ndinagwa pansi ndipo ndinamva mawu akundiyankhula.
