< Ezekiel 7 >
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'And thou, son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah to the ground of Israel:
Yehova anandipatsa uthenga uwu kuti,
2 An end, come hath the end on the four corners of the land.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuwuza dziko la Israeli kuti: “Chimaliziro! Chimaliziro chafika ku ngodya zinayi za dziko.
3 Now [is] the end unto thee, And I have sent Mine anger upon thee, And judged thee according to thy ways, And set against thee all thine abominations.
Chimaliziro chili pa iwe tsopano. Mkwiyo wanga ndidzawuthira pa iwe. Ndidzakuweruza molingana ndi machitidwe ako ndi kukulanga chifukwa cha zonyansa zako.
4 And no pity on thee hath Mine eye, nor do I spare, For thy ways against thee I do set, And thine abominations are in thy midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
Ine sindidzakumvera chisoni kapena kukuleka. Ndidzakulanga ndithu chifukwa cha ntchito zako zoyipa komanso chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa imene ili pakati pako. Pamenepo udzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
5 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Evil, a single evil, lo, it hath come.
“Zimene ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova ndi izi: “Chiwonongeko! Chiwonongeko chimene sichinamvekepo! Taona chikubwera!
6 An end hath come, come hath the end, It hath waked for thee, lo, it hath come.
Chimaliziro chafika! Chimaliziro chafika! Chiwonongeko chakugwera. Taona chafika!
7 Come hath the morning unto thee, O inhabitant of the land! Come hath the time, near [is] a day of trouble, And not the shouting of mountains.
Inu anthu okhala mʼdziko, chiwonongeko chakugwerani. Nthawi yafika, tsiku layandikira; tsiku la chisokonezo osati la chimwemwe pa mapiri.
8 Now, shortly I pour out My fury on thee, And have completed Mine anger against thee, And judged thee according to thy ways, And set against thee all thine abominations.
Ine ndili pafupi kukukwiyirani, ndipo ukali wanga udzathera pa iwe; Ine ndidzakuweruza molingana ndi machitidwe ako ndiponso ndidzakulanga chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa.
9 And not pity doth Mine eye, nor do I spare, According to thy ways unto thee I give, And thine abominations are in thy midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah the smiter.
Ine sindidzakumvera chisoni kapena kukuleka. Ndidzakulanga malingana ndi ntchito zako ndiponso chifukwa cha miyambo yako yonyansa pakati pako.
10 Lo, the day, lo, it hath come, Gone forth hath the morning, Blossomed hath the rod, flourished the pride.
“Taona, tsikulo! Taona, lafika! Chiwonongeko chako chabwera. Ndodo yaphuka mphundu za maluwa. Kudzitama kwaphuka.
11 The violence hath risen to a rod of wickedness, There is none of them, nor of their multitude, Nor of their noise, nor is there wailing for them.
Chiwawa chasanduka ndodo yowakwapulira chifukwa cha kuyipa kwawo. Palibe mwa anthu amenewo amene adzatsale. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa unyinji wawo. Palibiretu ndipo sipadzapezeka munthu wowalira maliro.
12 Come hath the time, arrived hath the day, The buyer doth not rejoice, And the seller doth not become a mourner, For wrath [is] unto all its multitude.
Nthawi yafika! Tsiku layandikira! Munthu wogula asakondwere ndipo wogulitsa asamve chisoni, popeza ukali wanga uli pa gulu lonse.
13 For the seller to the sold thing turneth not, And yet among the living [is] their life, For the vision [is] unto all its multitude, It doth not turn back, And none by his iniquity doth strengthen his life.
Wogulitsa sadzazipezanso zinthu zimene anagulitsa kwa wina chinkana onse awiri akanali ndi moyo, pakuti chilango chidzagwera onsewo ndipo sichingasinthike. Chifukwa cha machimo awo, palibe aliyense amene adzapulumutsa moyo wake.
14 They have blown with a trumpet to prepare the whole, And none is going to battle, For My wrath [is] unto all its multitude.
“Lipenga lalira, ndipo zonse zakonzeka. Koma palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene akupita ku nkhondo, pakuti mkwiyo wanga uli pa gulu lonse.
15 The sword [is] without, And the pestilence and the famine within, He who is in a field by sword dieth, And he who is in a city, Famine and pestilence devour him.
Ku bwalo kuli kumenyana ndipo mʼkati muli mliri ndi njala. Anthu okhala ku midzi adzafa ndi nkhondo. Iwo okhala ku mizinda adzafa ndi mliri ndi njala.
16 And escaped away have their fugitives, And they have been on the mountains As doves of the valleys, All of them make a noising — each for his iniquity.
Onse amene adzapulumuka ndi kumakakhala ku mapiri, azidzalira ngati nkhunda za ku zigwa. Aliyense azidzabuwula chifukwa cha machimo ake.
17 All the hands are feeble, and all knees go — waters.
Dzanja lililonse lidzalefuka, ndipo bondo lililonse lidzalobodoka ngati madzi.
18 And they have girded on sackcloth, And covered them hath trembling, And unto all faces [is] shame, And on all their heads — baldness.
Iwo adzavala ziguduli ndipo adzagwidwa ndi mantha. Adzakhala ndi nkhope zamanyazi ndipo mitu yawo adzameta mpala.
19 Their silver into out-places they cast, And their gold impurity becometh. Their silver and their gold is not able to deliver them, In a day of the wrath of Jehovah, Their soul they do not satisfy, And their bowels they do not fill, For the stumbling-block of their iniquity it hath been.
“Iwo adzataya siliva wawo mʼmisewu ndipo golide wawo adzakhala chinthu chonyansa. Siliva ndi golide wawo sizidzatha kuwapulumutsa pa tsiku la ukali wa Yehova. Chuma chawochi sichidzawathandiza kuthetsa njala, kapena kukhala okhuta, pakuti ndicho chinawagwetsa mʼmachimo.
20 As to the beauty of his ornament, For excellency He set it, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things — they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity,
Iwo ankanyadira zodzikongoletsera zawo zamakaka ndipo ankazigwiritsa ntchito kupanga mafano awo onyansa ndi zonyansa zawo zina. Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndidzazisandutsa kukhala zowanyansa.
21 And I have given it into the hand of the strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, And they have polluted it.
Ndidzazipereka kwa alendo kuti azifunkhe. Anthu oyipa a dziko lapansi adzazilanda ndi kudziyipitsa.
22 And I have turned My face from them, And they have polluted My hidden place, Yea, come into it have destroyers, and polluted it.
Ine ndidzawalekerera anthuwo ndipo adzayipitsa malo anga apamtima. Adzalowamo ngati mbala ndi kuyipitsamo.
23 Make the chain; for the land Hath been full of bloody judgments, And the city hath been full of violence.
“Konzani maunyolo, chifukwa dziko ladzaza ndi anthu opha anzawo ndipo mzinda wadzaza ndi chiwawa.
24 And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they have possessed their houses, And I have caused to cease the excellency of the strong, And polluted have been those sanctifying them.
Ndidzabweretsa mitundu ya anthu oyipitsitsa kuti idzalande nyumba zawo. Ndidzathetsa kunyada kwa anthu amphamvu pamene anthu akunja adzalowa mʼmalo awo achipembedzo ndi kuyipitsamo.
25 Destruction hath come, And they have sought peace, and there is none.
Nkhawa ikadzawafikira adzafunafuna mtendere koma osawupeza.
26 Mischief on mischief cometh, and report is on report, And they have sought a vision from a prophet, And law doth perish from the priest, And counsel from the elders,
Tsoka lidzatsatana ndi tsoka linzake, ndipo mphekesera idzatsatana ndi mphekesera inzake. Iwo adzayesa kufuna masomphenya kuchokera kwa mneneri. Adzasowa ansembe owaphunzitsa malamulo, ndipo anthu akuluakulu sadzakhalanso ndi uphungu.
27 The king doth become a mourner, And a prince putteth on desolation, And the hands of the people of the land are troubled, From their own way I deal with them, And with their own judgments I judge them, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
Mfumu idzalira, kalonga adzagwidwa ndi mantha. Manja a anthu a mʼdzikomo azidzangonjenjemera ndi mantha. Ine ndidzawalanga molingana ndi machitidwe awo, ndipo ndidzawaweruza molingana ndi momwe anaweruzira anzawo.
