Ezekiel 11
1 And lift me up doth a spirit, and it bringeth me in unto the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that is facing the east, and lo, at the opening of the gate twenty and five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads 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 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil 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 are saying, It [is] not near — to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we the flesh.
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 concerning them, prophesy, son of man.'
Choncho iwe mwana wa munthu, unenere mowadzudzula. Nenera ndithu.’”
5 And fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith unto me, 'Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known.
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 Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.
Mwapha anthu ambiri mu mzinda muno ndipo mwadzaza misewu yake ndi mitembo.
7 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye placed in its midst, They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, And you he hath brought out from its midst.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Mitembo imene mwayiponya mʼmisewuyo ndiyo nyama ndipo mzinda uno ndiwo mʼphika, koma Ine ndidzakuthamangitsanimo.
8 A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Inu mumaopa lupanga, koma lupangalo ndi limene ndidzakubweretsereni, akutero Ambuye.
9 And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done among you judgments.
Ine ndidzakuthamangitsani mu mzinda ndipo ndidzakuperekani mʼdzanja la alendo kuti akulangeni.
10 By the sword ye do fall, On the border of Israel I do judge you, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
Mudzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo ndidzakulangani mpaka kumalire a Israeli. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
11 It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you.
Mzinda uno sudzakhala ngati mʼphika wokutetezani ndipo simudzakhalanso ngati nyama ya mʼmenemo. Ndidzakulangani mpaka kumalire a Israeli.
12 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, For in My statutes ye have not walked, And My Judgments ye have not done, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are round about you — ye have done!'
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 And it cometh to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry — a loud voice — and say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, an end Thou art making 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 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
15 'Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel — all of it, [are] they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from Jehovah;
“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 it [is] ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance; therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands whither they have gone in.
“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: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which ye have been scattered, And I have given to you the ground of 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 And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations — out of it.
“Akadzalowa mʼdzikomo adzachotsa mafano awo onse oyipa ndi onyansa.
19 And I have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given to 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 So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.
Motero adzatsata malamulo anga ndipo adzasunga mosamala malamulo anga. Adzakhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo.
21 As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
Koma kunena za amene akupembedza mafano oyipa ndi onyansa, ndidzawalanga chifukwa cha zimene achita. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”
22 And the cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels [are] over-against them, and the honour of the God of Israel [is] over them above.
Tsono akerubi aja anatambasula mapiko awo kuyamba kuwuluka, mikombero ili mʼmbali mwawo. Ulemerero wa Mulungu wa Israeli unali pamwamba pawo.
23 And the honour of Jehovah goeth up from off the midst of the city, and standeth on the mountain, that [is] on the east of the city.
Ulemerero wa Yehova unakwera ndi kusiya mzindawo ndipo unakayima pa phiri cha kummawa kwake kwa mzindawo.
24 And a spirit hath lifted me up, and bringeth me in to Chaldea, unto the Removed, in a vision, by the Spirit of God, and go up from off me doth the vision that I have seen;
Pambuyo pake Mzimu wa Mulungu unandinyamula ndi kukandifikitsa. Zimenezi zinkachitika mʼmasomphenya monga mmene Mzimu wa Mulungu unkandionetsera. Kenaka masomphenya amene ndinkawaonawo anayamba kuzimirira.
25 and I speak unto the Removed all the matters of Jehovah that He hath shewed me.
Ndipo ndinafotokozera akapolowo zonse zimene Yehova anandionetsa.
