< Hesekiel 15 >
1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
Yehova anayankhulanso nane kuti,
2 “Onipa ba, ɛkwan bɛn so na bobe dutan ho bɛba mfasoɔ asene kwaeɛ mu dua foforɔ biara mman?
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi mtengo wamphesa umapambana bwanji mtengo wina uliwonse? Nthambi zake zimapambana bwanji nthambi ina iliyonse.
3 Wɔtwa dua no bi de yɛ biribi a ɛho wɔ mfasoɔ? Wɔde yɛ pɛɛwa a wɔde nneɛma sensɛn soɔ anaa?
Mtengo umene uja nʼkupangira chiyani? Kodi anthu angathe kupangira chikhomo chokolekapo zinthu zawo?
4 Na sɛ wɔde ne nyina hyɛ ogya mu na etire ne etire hye ma mfimfini yɛ bidie a, ɛho ba mfasoɔ bi anaa?
Taonani, ndi nkhuni chabe zosonkhera moto. Ukaponyedwa pa moto monga nkhuni ndi kuyaka mbali zonse ndi kusanduka makala, kodi ungagwiritsidwe ntchito ina iliyonse?
5 Na sɛ ɛho amma mfasoɔ ɛberɛ a ɛdi mu a, ɛbɛyɛ den na wɔbɛtumi de ayɛ mfasodeɛ bi, ɛberɛ a ahye adane bidie?
Ngati pamene unali wosapsa sukanatheka kuwugwiritsa ntchito, nanga bwanji utapserera ndi moto, adzawugwiritsa ntchito bwanji?
6 “Enti yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛdeɛ mede bobe dua a ɛfera kwaeɛm nnua mu ama sɛ wɔmfa nsɔ ogya no, saa ɛkwan no so na mede nnipa a wɔte Yerusalem no bɛfa.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Mtengo wamphesa ndidzawuponya mʼmoto monga ndimachitira ndi mitengo ina ya ku nkhalango. Momwemonso ndidzachita ndi anthu a ku Yerusalemu.
7 Mɛtu mʼani asi wɔn so. Ɛwom sɛ wafiri ogya no mu deɛ, nanso ɛbɛhye wɔn bio. Na sɛ metu mʼani si wɔn so a, wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade.
Ndidzawalanga pamenepo ngakhale iwo atuluka pa moto, motowo udzawatenthabe. Ndipo pamene ndidzatsutsana nawo, mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
8 Mɛma asase no ada mpan, ɛfiri sɛ wɔanni nokorɛ, Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.”
Ine ndidzasandutsa dziko kukhala chipululu chifukwa anthu akhala osakhulupirika, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
