Ezekiel 38
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Yehova anandiyankhula kuti:
2 'Son of man, set thy face unto Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him,
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, tembenukira kwa Gogi, wa ku dziko la Magogi, amene ali kalonga wamkulu wa mzinda wa Mesaki ndi Tubala. Umuyimbe mlandu.
3 and thou hast said: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal,
Umuwuze mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Ine ndikudana nawe, iwe Gogi, kalonga wamkulu wa ku Mesaki ndi Tubala.
4 And I have turned thee back, And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And have brought thee out, and all thy force, Horses and horsemen, Clothed in perfection all of them, A numerous assembly, [with] buckler and shield, Handling swords — all of them.
Ndidzakuzunguza, ndidzakukola ndi mbedza mʼkamwa mwako. Ndidzakutulutsa iweyo pamodzi ndi gulu lako lonse la nkhondo, akavalo ako ndi okwerapo ake. Onse adzakhala atanyamula zida za nkhondo, zishango ndi malihawo ndipo malupanga awo adzakhala osolola.
5 Persia, Cush, and Phut, with them, All of them [with] shield and helmet.
Pamodzi ndi iwowo, padzakhalanso ankhondo a ku Perisiya, ku Kusi, ndi ku Puti. Onsewa adzakhala atanyamula zishango ndi kuvala zipewa zankhondo.
6 Gomer and all its bands, The house of Togarmah of the sides of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with thee,
Padzakhalanso Gomeri pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse ndiponso banja la Togarima ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo lochokera kutali kumpoto. Padzakhaladi mitundu yambiri ya anthu pamodzi ndi iwe.
7 Be prepared, yea, prepare for thee, Thou and all thine assemblies who are assembled unto thee, And thou hast been to them for a guard.
“‘Konzekani! Mukhaledi okonzeka, iweyo pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo limene lakusonkhanira. Iweyo udzawatsogolera pokamenya nkhondo.
8 After many days thou art appointed, In the latter end of the years thou comest in unto a land brought back from sword, [A people] gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the peoples hath been brought out, And dwelt safely have all of them.
Pakapita masiku ambiri ndidzakuyitana. Zaka zikubwerazi ndidzakulowetsa mʼdziko limene lapulumuka ku nkhondo. Anthu ake anasonkhanitsidwa kuchokera ku mitundu ya anthu ambiri nʼkukakhazikika pa mapiri a Israeli amene kwa nthawi yayitali anali ngati chipululu. Anthu onsewa tsopano akukhala mwa mtendere.
9 And thou hast gone up — as wasting thou comest in, As a cloud to cover the land art thou, Thou and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee.
Tsono iwe pamodzi ndi ankhondo ako onse ndiponso mitundu yambiri ya anthu imene ili nawe mudzabwera ngati mphepo yamkuntho. Mudzaphimba dziko lonse ngati mitambo.
10 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And it hath come to pass in that day, Come up do things on thy heart, And thou hast thought an evil thought,
“Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa tsiku limenelo mu mtima mwako mudzabwera maganizo ofuna kukonzekera kuchita zoyipa.
11 And thou hast said: I go up against a land of unwalled villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have not.
Iwe udzanena kuti, ‘Ndikukathira nkhondo dziko la midzi yopanda mipanda; ndikathira nkhondo anthu okhala mwamtendere, anthu amene satchinjirizidwa ndi mipanda, zipata kapena mipiringidzo.
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back thy hand on inhabited wastes, And on a people gathered out of nations, Making cattle and substance, Dwelling on a high part of the land.
Ndipita kukalanda chuma chawo ndi kukafunkha zinthu zawo. Ndidzalimbana ndi midzi imene kale inali mabwinja. Ndikathira nkhondo anthu amene anasonkhanitsidwa kuchokera kwa anthu a mitundu ina. Iwowa ali ndi ziweto zambiri, katundu wochuluka ndiponso amakhala pakatikati pa dziko lapansi.’
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and merchants of Tarshish, And all its young lions say to thee: To take a spoil art thou come in? To take a prey assembled thine assembly? To bear away silver and gold? To take away cattle and substance? To take a great spoil?
Anthu a ku Seba, a ku Dedani ndiponso amalonda a ku Tarisisi pamodzi ndi midzi yake yonse adzakufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi wabwera kudzafunkha? Kodi wasonkhanitsa gulu lako la nkhondo kudzalanda chuma, kudzatenga siliva ndi golide, ziweto ndi katundu kuti zikhale zofunkha zochuluka?’”
14 Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said to Gog: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In that day, in the dwelling of My people Israel safely, Dost thou not know?
“Nʼchifukwa chake, iwe mwana wa munthu, nenera ndipo uwuze Gogi kuti, ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa nthawi imene anthu anga adzakhala pa mtendere, iwe udzanyamuka.
15 And thou hast come in out of thy place, From the sides of the north, Thou and many peoples with thee, Riding on horses — all of them, A great assembly, and a numerous force.
Udzabwera kuchokera ku dziko lako kutali kumpoto, iwe pamodzi ndi mitundu yambiri ya anthu imene ili nawe, onse okwera akavalo, gulu lankhondo lalikulu ndi lamphamvu.
16 And thou hast come up against My people Israel, As a cloud to cover the land, In the latter end of the days it is, And I have brought thee in against My land, In order that the nations may know Me, In My being sanctified in thee before their eyes, O Gog.
Udzabwera kudzalimbana ndi anthu anga Aisraeli ngati mtambo wophimba dziko. Masiku amenewo, iwe Gogi, ndidzabwera nawe kuti ulimbane ndi dziko langa, kuti anthu a mitundu ina andidziwe Ine, pamene ndidzaonetsa kuyera kwanga pa zimene ndidzakuchite iweyo.
17 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Art thou he of whom I spake in former days, By the hand of My servants, prophets of Israel, Who are prophesying in those days — years, To bring thee in against them?
“‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Kodi iwe si amene ndinayankhula za iwe masiku amakedzana kudzera mwa atumiki anga aneneri a Israeli? Pa zaka zambiri iwo ankalengeza kuti ndidzawutsa iwe kuti udzalimbane ndi Israeli.
18 And it hath come to pass, in that day, In the day of the coming in of Gog against the land of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Come up doth My fury in My face,
Zimene chidzachitika pa tsiku limenelo ndi izi: Gogi akadzathira nkhondo dziko la Israeli, mkwiyo wanga woopsa udzayaka. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse.
19 And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken: Is there not in that day a great rushing on the land of Israel?
Chifukwa cha mkwiyo ndi ukali wanga woyakawo Ine ndikunenetsa kuti pa nthawi imeneyo padzakhala chivomerezi chachikulu mʼdziko la Israeli.
20 And rushed from My presence have fishes of the sea, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the field, And every creeping thing that is creeping on the ground, And all men who [are] on the face of the ground, And thrown down have been the mountains, And fallen have the ascents, And every wall to the earth falleth.
Nsomba za mʼnyanja, mbalame zamumlengalenga, zirombo zakuthengo, cholengedwa chilichonse chimene chimakwawa pansi, ndiponso anthu onse okhala pa dziko lapansi, adzanjenjemera pamaso panga. Mapiri adzangʼambika, malo okwera kwambiri adzagumuka ndipo khoma lililonse lidzagwa pansi.
21 And I have called against him, to all My mountains a sword, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, The sword of each is against his brother.
Ndidzawutsira Gogi nkhondo kuchokera ku mapiri anga. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova. Anthu a Gogiyo adzaphana okhaokha ndi malupanga.
22 And I have been judged with him, With pestilence and with blood, And an overflowing rain and hailstones, Fire and brimstone I rain on him, and on his bands, And on many peoples who [are] with him.
Ine ndidzamulanga ndi mliri ndi imfa. Ndidzagwetsa mvula yoopsa ya matalala, ndiponso sulufule ndi miyala ya moto pa iye ndi pa asilikali ake ndiponso pa mitundu yambiri ya anthu imene ili naye.
23 And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!
Motero ndidzadzionetsa kuti ndine wamphamvu ndi woyera. Ndiponso ndidzadziwika pamaso pa anthu a mitundu ina yambiri. Momwemo adzadziwadi kuti Ine ndine Yehova.’”
