< Ezekiel 30 >
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 'Son of man, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, ha! for the day!
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, nenera ndipo ulengeze zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena. “‘Ufuwule mawu awa akuti, ‘Kalanga, tsiku lafika!’
3 For near [is] a day, near [is] a day to Jehovah! A day of clouds, the time of nations it is.
Pakuti tsiku layandikira, tsiku la Yehova lili pafupi, tsiku la mitambo yakuda, tsiku lachiwonongeko cha mitundu ya anthu.
4 And come in hath a sword to Egypt, And there hath been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And broken down have been its foundations.
Lupanga lidzabwera kudzalimbana ndi Igupto ndipo mavuto adzafika pa Kusi. Pamene anthu ambiri adzaphedwa mu Igupto, chuma chake chidzatengedwa ndipo maziko ake adzagumuka.
5 Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant with them by sword do fall,
Kusi, Puti, Ludi ndi Arabiya yense, Libiya ndiponso anthu a mʼdziko logwirizana naye adzaphedwa ndi lupanga pamodzi ndi Igupto.
6 Thus said Jehovah: And — fallen have supporters of Egypt, And come down hath the arrogance of her strength, From Migdol to Syene, by sword they fall in her, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: “‘Onse othandiza Igupto adzaphedwa ndipo kunyadira mphamvu zake kudzatheratu. Adzaphedwa ndi lupanga kuyambira ku Migidoli mpaka ku mzinda wa Asiwani,’” ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
7 And they have been desolated in the midst of desolate lands, And its cities are in the midst of wasted cities.
“‘Dziko la Igupto lidzasanduka bwinja kupambana mabwinja ena onse opasuka, ndipo mizinda yake idzakhala yopasuka kupambana mizinda ina yonse.
8 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving fire against Egypt, And broken have been all her helpers.
Nditatha kutentha Igupto ndi kupha onse omuthandiza, pamenepo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
9 In that day go forth do messengers from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there hath been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for lo, it hath come.
“‘Nthawi imeneyo ikadzafika, amithenga adzapita mofulumira kuchokera kwa Ine kukaopseza Kusi, iwowo osadziwako kanthu. Ndipo adzada nkhawa pa tsiku limene Igupto adzawonongedwa, chifukwa tsikulo lidzafika ndithu.
10 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Ndidzagwiritsa ntchito Nebukadinezara, mfumu ya ku Babuloni kuti ndithetse gulu lankhondo la Igupto.
11 He and his people with him — the terrible of nations, Are brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the wounded.
Iye ndi gulu lake lankhondo, mtundu wa anthu ankhanza kwambiri aja adzabwera kudzawononga dzikolo. Adzasolola malupanga awo kulimbana ndi Igupto ndipo dziko lidzadzaza ndi mitembo.
12 And I have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evil doers, And I have made desolate the land, And its fulness, by the hand of strangers, I, Jehovah, have spoken.
Ndidzawumitsa mtsinje wa Nailo ndi kugulitsa dziko la Igupto kwa anthu oyipa. Ndidzagwiritsa ntchito anthu achilendo kuti ndiwononge dzikolo pamodzi ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo. Ine Yehova ndayankhula.
13 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And — I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And a prince of the land of Egypt there is no more, And I give fear in the land of Egypt.
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, “‘Ndidzawononga mafano ndi kuthetsa milungu yosema ya ku Mefisi. Simudzakhalanso mfumu mu Igupto, ndipo ndidzaopseza dziko lonse.
14 And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,
Ndidzasandutsa chipululu mzinda wa Patirosi, ndi kutentha mzinda wa Zowani. Ndidzalanga mzinda wa Thebesi.
15 And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No.
Ndidzakhuthulira ukali wanga pa mzinda wa Peluziumu, linga lolimba la Igupto, ndi kuwononga gulu lankhondo la Thebesi.
16 And I have given fire against Egypt, Greatly pained is Sin, and No is to be rent, And Noph hath daily distresses.
Ndidzatentha ndi moto dziko la Igupto; Peluziumu adzazunzika ndi ululu. Malinga a Thebesi adzagumuka, ndipo mzindawo udzasefukira ndi madzi.
17 The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth by sword do fall, And these into captivity do go.
Anyamata a ku Oni ndi ku Pibeseti adzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo okhala mʼmizinda yake adzatengedwa ukapolo.
18 And in Tehaphnehes hath the day been dark, In My breaking there the yokes of Egypt, And ceased in her hath the excellency of her strength, She — a cloud doth cover her, And her daughters into captivity do go.
Ku Tehafinehezi kudzakhala mdima pamene ndidzathyola goli la Igupto; motero kunyada kwake kudzatha. Iye adzaphimbidwa ndi mitambo yakuda, ndipo okhala mʼmizinda yake adzapita ku ukapolo.
19 And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
Kotero ndidzalanga dziko la Igupto, ndipo iwo adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’”
20 And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], in the seventh of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying: 'Son of man,
Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri la mwezi woyamba wa chaka chakhumi ndi chimodzi, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
21 The arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, I have broken, And lo, it hath not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it — to lay hold on the sword.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, ndathyola dzanja la Farao mfumu ya Igupto. Taona, silinamangidwe kuti lipole, ngakhale kulilimbitsa ndi nsalu kuti lithe kugwiranso lupanga.
22 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of his hand,
Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, Ine ndikudana ndi Farao mfumu ya Igupto. Ndidzathyola manja ake onse; dzanja labwino pamodzi ndi lothyokalo, ndipo lupanga lidzagwa mʼmanja mwake.
23 And scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands,
Ndidzamwaza Aigupto pakati pa mitundu ya anthu ndikuwabalalitsira ku mayiko ambiri.
24 And strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And I have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he hath groaned the groans of a pierced one — before him.
Ndidzalimbitsa manja a mfumu ya ku Babuloni, ndipo mʼmanja mwake ndidzayikamo lupanga langa. Koma ndidzathyola manja a Farao, ndipo adzabuwula ngati wolasidwa koopsa pamaso pa mfumu ya ku Babuloniyo.
25 And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh do fall down, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he hath stretched it out toward the land of Egypt.
Ndidzalimbitsa manja a mfumu ya ku Babuloni, koma manja a Farao adzafowoka. Motero anthu adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova, ndikadzayika lupanga langa mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Ndipo adzaligwiritsa ntchito pothira nkhondo dziko la Igupto.
26 And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
Ndidzamwaza Aigupto pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ndikuwabalalitsira ku mayiko ambiri. Motero adzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
