Ezekiel 28
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
2 'Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart hath been high, And thou dost say: A god I [am], The habitation of God I have inhabited, In the heart of the seas, And thou [art] man, and not God, And thou givest out thy heart as the heart of God,
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, iwuze mfumu ya ku Turo mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova akuti, “‘Iwe ndi mtima wako wodzikuza umanena kuti, ‘Ine ndine mulungu; ndimakhala pa mpando wa mulungu pakati pa nyanja.’ Koma ndiwe munthu chabe osati mulungu, ngakhale ukuganiza kuti ndiwe wanzeru ngati mulungu.
3 Lo, thou [art] wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they concealed from thee.
Taona, ndiwedi wanzeru kupambana Danieli. Ndipo palibe chinsinsi chobisika kwa iwe.
4 By thy wisdom and by thine understanding Thou hast made for thee wealth, And makest gold and silver in thy treasuries.
Mwa nzeru zako ndi kumvetsa kwako unadzipezera chuma ndipo unasonkhanitsa golide ndi siliva mʼnyumba zosungira chuma chako.
5 By the abundance of thy wisdom, Through thy merchandise, Thou hast multiplied thy wealth, And high is thy heart through thy wealth.
Ndi nzeru zako zochitira malonda unachulukitsa chuma chako ndipo wayamba kunyada chifukwa cha chuma chakocho.
6 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy giving out thy heart as the heart of God,
“‘Choncho Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Popeza umadziganizira kuti ndiwe mulungu,
7 Therefore, lo, I am bringing in against thee strangers, The terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords Against the beauty of thy wisdom, And they have pierced thy brightness.
Ine ndidzabwera ndi anthu achilendo, anthu ankhanza, kuti adzalimbane nawe. Adzakuthira nkhondo kuti awononge zonse zimene unazipeza ndi nzeru zako, ndipo adzawononga kunyada kwakoko.
8 To destruction they bring thee down, Thou diest by the deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas.
Iwo adzakuponyera ku dzenje ndipo udzafa imfa yoopsa mʼnyanja yozama.
9 Dost thou really say, 'I [am] God,' Before him who is slaying thee? And thou [art] man, and not God, In the hand of him who is piercing thee.
Kodi udzanenabe kuti, ‘Ine ndine mulungu,’ pamaso pa iwo amene akukupha? Iwe udzaoneka kuti ndiwe munthu chabe, osati mulungu, mʼmanja mwa iwo amene akukuphawo.
10 The deaths of the uncircumcised thou diest, By the hand of strangers, for I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
Udzafa imfa ya anthu osachita mdulidwe mʼmanja mwa anthu achilendo. Ine ndayankhula zimenezi, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
11 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
12 'Son of man, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, And thou hast said to him: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Thou art sealing up a measurement, Full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira mfumu ya Turo ndipo uyiwuze mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova akuti, “‘Iwe unali chitsanzo cha ungwiro weniweni, wodzaza ndi nzeru ndi wokongola kwambiri.
13 In Eden, the garden of God, thou hast been, Every precious stone thy covering, Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, The workmanship of thy tabrets, and of thy pipes, In thee in the day of thy being produced, have been prepared.
Iwe unkakhala ngati mu Edeni, munda wa Mulungu. Miyala yokongola ya mitundu yonse: rubi, topazi ndi dayimondi, kirisoliti, onikisi, yasipa, safiro, kalineliyoni ndi berili ndiwo inali zofunda zako. Ndipo zoyikamo miyalayo zinali zagolide. Anakupangira zonsezi pa tsiku limene unalengedwa.
14 Thou [art] an anointed cherub who is covering, And I have set thee in the holy mount, God thou hast been, In the midst of stones of fire thou hast walked up and down.
Ndinayika kerubi kuti azikulondera. Unkakhala pa phiri langa lopatulika, ndipo unkayendayenda pakati pa miyala ya moto.
15 Perfect [art] thou in thy ways, From the day of thy being produced, Till perversity hath been found in thee.
Makhalidwe ako anali abwino kuyambira pamene unalengedwa mpaka nthawi imene unayamba kuchita zoyipa.
16 By the abundance of thy merchandise They have filled thy midst with violence, And thou dost sin, And I thrust thee from the mount of God, And I destroy thee, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.
Unatanganidwa ndi zamalonda. Zotsatira zake zinali zoti unachulukitsa zandewu ndi kumachimwa. Choncho ndinakuchotsa ku phiri langa lopatulika. Mkerubi amene ankakulondera uja anakupirikitsa kukuchotsa ku miyala yamoto.
17 High hath been thy heart, because of thy beauty, Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom because of thy brightness, On the earth I have cast thee, Before kings I have set thee, to look on thee,
Unkadzikuza mu mtima mwako chifukwa cha kukongola kwako, ndipo unayipitsa nzeru zako chifukwa chofuna kutchuka. Kotero Ine ndinakugwetsa pansi kuti ukhala chenjezo pamaso pa mafumu.
18 From the abundance of thy iniquity, By the perversity of thy traffic, Thou hast polluted thy sanctuaries, And I bring forth fire from thy midst, It hath devoured thee, And I make thee become ashes on the earth, Before the eyes of all beholding thee.
Ndi malonda ako achinyengo unachulukitsa machimo ako. Motero unayipitsa malo ako achipembedzo. Choncho ndinabutsa moto pakati pako, ndipo unakupsereza, ndipo unasanduka phulusa pa dziko lapansi pamaso pa anthu onse amene amakuona.
19 All knowing thee among the peoples Have been astonished at thee, Wastes thou hast been, and thou art not — to the age.'
Anthu onse amitundu amene ankakudziwa akuchita mantha chifukwa cha iwe. Watheratu mochititsa mantha ndipo sudzakhalaponso mpaka muyaya.’”
20 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Yehova anandiyankhula nati:
21 'Son of man, set thy face unto Zidon, and prophesy concerning it;
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, utembenukire ku mzinda wa Sidoni ndipo unenere mowudzudzula kuti,
22 and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Zidon, And I have been honoured in thy midst, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My doing in her judgments, And I have been sanctified in her.
‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Ndine mdani wako, iwe Sidoni, ndipo ndidzalemekezedwa chifukwa cha iwe. Anthu adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova ndikadzakulanga ndi kudzionetsa kuti ndine woyera pakati pako.
23 And I have sent into her pestilence, And blood into her out-places, The wounded hath been judged in her midst, By the sword upon her round about, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.
Ndidzatumiza mliri pa iwe ndi kuchititsa magazi kuti ayende mʼmisewu yako. Anthu ophedwa ndi lupanga adzagwa mbali zonse. Pamenepo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
24 And there is no more to the house of Israel A pricking brier, and paining thorn, Of all round about them — despising them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
“‘Nthawi imeneyo Aisraeli sadzakhalanso ndi anthu pafupi achipongwe amene ali ngati nthula zowawa ndi ngati minga zopweteka. Pamenepo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Ambuye Yehova.
25 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In My gathering the house of Israel, Out of the peoples among whom they were scattered, I have been sanctified in them, Before the eyes of the nations, And they have dwelt on their ground, That I gave to My servant, to Jacob,
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova mawu anga ndi awa: Nditasonkhanitsa Aisraeli kuchoka ku mayiko kumene anamwazikira, ndidzadzionetsa kuti ndine woyera pakati pawo pamaso pa anthu a mitundu ina. Adzakhala mʼdziko lawo, limene ndinalipereka kwa mtumiki wanga Yakobo.
26 And they have dwelt on it confidently, And builded houses, and planted vineyards, And dwelt confidently — in My doing judgments, On all those despising them round about, And they have known that I, Jehovah, [am] their God!'
Adzakhala kumeneko mwamtendere ndipo adzamanga nyumba ndi kulima minda ya mpesa. Adzakhala kumeneko mwamtendere pamene ndidzalange anthu oyandikana nawo, amene ankawanyoza. Motero iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wawo.’”
