Ezekieli 16
1 Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, udzudzule Yerusalemu za ntchito zake zonyansa.
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 Umuwuze kuti, ‘Ambuye Yehova akukuwuza, iwe Yerusalemu kuti: Kwawo kwa makolo ako ndi ku Kanaani ndipo iwe unabadwira komweko. Abambo ako anali Mwamori, amayi ako anali Mhiti.
And say, Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem; Your birth and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother an Hittite.
4 Pa tsiku lomwe unabadwa sanadule mchombo wako. Sanakusambitse mʼmadzi kuti uyere. Sanakuthire mchere kapena kukukulunga mʼnsalu.
And as for your nativity, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to supple you; you were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe anakusamala kapena kukumvera chisoni kuti akuchitire zimenezi. Mʼmalo mwake anakutaya panja poyera, chifukwa ananyansidwa nawe pa tsiku lako lobadwa.
None eye pitied you, to do any of these to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, to the loathing of your person, in the day that you were born.
6 “‘Tsono pamene ndinkadutsa, ndinakuona ukuvimvinizika mʼmagazi ako. Ndinakuyankhula uli mʼmagazi ako omwewo kuti, ‘Khala ndi moyo,’
And when I passed by you, and saw you polluted in your own blood, I said to you when you were in your blood, Live; yes, I said to you when you were in your blood, Live.
7 ndi kuti ukule ngati mbewu ya mʼmunda. Iwe unakula ndipo unatalika ndi kutha msinkhu. Mawere ako anayamba kumera ndi tsitsi lakonso linayamba kutalika. Komabe unali wamaliseche ndi wausiwa.
I have caused you to multiply as the bud of the field, and you have increased and waxen great, and you are come to excellent ornaments: your breasts are fashioned, and your hair is grown, whereas you were naked and bore.
8 “‘Tsono pamene ndinkadutsanso ndinaona kuti nthawi yako yomanga banja inakwana. Tsono ndinakufunditsa chovala changa ndi kubisa umaliseche wako. Ndinachita nawe pangano la ukwati ndipo unakhala wanga, akutero Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse.
Now when I passed by you, and looked on you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord GOD, and you became mine.
9 “‘Ine ndinakusambitsa mʼmadzi kutsuka magazi ako ndikukudzoza mafuta.
Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 Ndinakuveka zovala zopetapeta ndi nsapato za chikopa. Ndinakuveka zovala zabafuta ndi kukuveka zovala za bafuta.
I clothed you also with broidered work, and shod you with badgers’ skin, and I girded you about with fine linen, and I covered you with silk.
11 Ndinakukongoletsa ndi zokometsera zamtengowapatali: ndinakuveka zibangiri mʼmanja mwako ndi mkanda mʼkhosi mwako,
I decked you also with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.
12 ndipo ndinakuveka chipini pa mphuno yako, ndolo ku makutu ako ndiponso chipewa chaufumu pa mutu wako.
And I put a jewel on your forehead, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Choncho unavala zokongoletsa zagolide ndi siliva. Zovala zako zinali zabafuta, zasilika ndi za nsalu zopetapeta. Chakudya chako chinali ufa wosalala uchi ndi mafuta a olivi. Motero unakhala wokongola kwambiri ndipo unasanduka mfumukazi.
Thus were you decked with gold and silver; and your raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; you did eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and you were exceeding beautiful, and you did prosper into a kingdom.
14 Ndipo mbiri ya kukongola kwako inawanda pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina, chifukwa ulemerero umene ndinakupatsa unapititsa patsogolo kukongola kwako, akutero Ambuye Yehova.
And your renown went forth among the heathen for your beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put on you, says the Lord GOD.
15 “‘Koma iwe unatama kukongola kwako ndipo unayamba kuchita zadama chifukwa cha kutchuka kwako. Unkachita chigololo ndi kumangodzipereka kwa aliyense wodutsa ndipo kukongola kwako kunakhala kwake.
But you did trust in your own beauty, and played the harlot because of your renown, and poured out your fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 Unatenga zovala zako zina nukakongoletsera malo opembedzerako mafano, ndipo kumeneko umachitirako zigololo. Zinthu izi sizinachitikepo nʼkale lomwe ndipo sizidzachitikanso.
And of your garments you did take, and decked your high places with divers colors, and played the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Unatenga zokongoletsera zopangidwa ndi golide ndi siliva zimene ndinakupatsa ndipo unadzipangira wekha mafano aamuna amene unkachita nawo za dama.
You have also taken your fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made to yourself images of men, and did commit prostitution with them,
18 Ndipo iwe unatenga zovala zako zopetapeta ndi kuveka mafano. Mafuta anga ndi lubani wanga unapereka kwa mafanowo.
And took your broidered garments, and covered them: and you have set my oil and my incense before them.
19 Chakudya chimene ndinakupatsa, ufa, mafuta ndi uchi, zimene ndinkakudyetsa nazo unazitenga nʼkuzipereka kwa mafanowo ngati nsembe ya fungo lokoma. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.
My meat also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you have even set it before them for a sweet smell: and thus it was, says the Lord GOD.
20 “‘Ndipo unatenga ana ako aamuna ndi ana aakazi amene unandibalira ine, ndipo unakawapereka ngati nsembe kwa mafanowo. Kodi zigololo zakozo sizinakukwanire
Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and these have you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Is this of your prostitutions a small matter,
21 kuti uziphanso ana anga ndi kuwapereka ngati nsembe kwa mafano akowo?
That you have slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
22 Chifukwa cha zadama zako zonyansazi unayiwala masiku a ubwana wako pamene unali wamaliseche, wausiwa ndiponso womangovivinizika mʼmagazi.
And in all your abominations and your prostitutions you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bore, and were polluted in your blood.
23 “‘Tsoka! Tsoka kwa iwe, akutero Ambuye Yehova chifukwa powonjezera pa zoyipa zako zonse,
And it came to pass after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says the LORD GOD; )
24 wadzimangira wekha nsanja ndi guwa pa mabwalo onse.
That you have also built to you an eminent place, and have made you an high place in every street.
25 Pa msewu uliwonse wamanga nsanjazo. Motero wanyazitsa kukongola kwako podzipereka kwa aliyense amene adutsapo.
You have built your high place at every head of the way, and have made your beauty to be abhorred, and have opened your feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied your prostitutions.
26 Umachita chigololo ndi Aigupto, anthu adama oyandikana nawe. Choncho unandikwiyitsa chifukwa unachulukitsa za dama zako.
You have also committed fornication with the Egyptians your neighbors, great of flesh; and have increased your prostitutions, to provoke me to anger.
27 Nʼchifukwa chake ndinatambasula dzanja langa kukukantha ndi kuchepetsa dziko lako. Ndinakupereka kwa adani ako, Afilisti amene amayipidwa ndi makhalidwe ako onyansa.
Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of them that hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of your lewd way.
28 Chifukwa cha chilakolako chako unachitanso zadama ndi Aasiriya. Ngakhale unachita nawo chigololo koma sunakhutitsidwebe.
You have played the whore also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the harlot with them, and yet could not be satisfied.
29 Choncho unapitirirabe kuchita chigololo ndi Ababuloni, anthu a mʼdziko lokonda zamalonda. Ngakhale unachita izi, komabe sunakhutitsidwe.
You have moreover multiplied your fornication in the land of Canaan to Chaldea; and yet you were not satisfied therewith.
30 “‘Ambuye Yehova akuti: Mtima wako ndi wofowoka kwambiri chifukwa unachita zonsezo monga ngati mkazi wopanga manyazi.
How weak is your heart, says the LORD GOD, seeing you do all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
31 Unamanga nsanja pa msewu uliwonse. Unamanganso kachisi pabwalo lililonse. Komabe sunachite ngati mkazi wadama chifukwa unakana malipiro.
In that you build your eminent place in the head of every way, and make your high place in every street; and have not been as an harlot, in that you scorn hire;
32 “‘Iwe mkazi wachigololo! Umakonda amuna achilendo kupambana mwamuna wakowako!
But as a wife that commits adultery, which takes strangers instead of her husband!
33 Amuna ndiwo amapereka malipiro kwa mkazi wadama. Koma iwe ndi amene ukupereka mphatso kwa zibwenzi zako zonse. Choncho umazinyengerera kuti zizibwera kwa iwe kuchokera mbali zonse kudzagona nawe.
They give gifts to all whores: but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and hire them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
34 Chotero iwe ukusiyana ndi akazi ena achigololo, pakuti palibe amene ankakunyengerera kuti uchite naye chigololo. Iweyo ndiye unkapereka ndalama osati ena kukupatsa ndalama ayi. Motero unalidi wosiyana kwambiri ndi akazi ena.
And the contrary is in you from other women in your prostitutions, whereas none follows you to commit prostitutions: and in that you give a reward, and no reward is given to you, therefore you are contrary.
35 “‘Tsono mkazi wachigololo iwe, imva mawu a Yehova!
Why, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
36 Ambuye Yehova akuti, popeza unavula ndi kuonetsa umaliseche wako mopanda manyazi, unachita chigololo ndi zibwenzi zako pamodzi ndi mafano ako onyansa, komanso popeza unapereka ana ako kuti aphedwe ngati nsembe zoperekedwa kwa mafano,
Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness discovered through your prostitutions with your lovers, and with all the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your children, which you did give to them;
37 nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndidzasonkhanitsa zibwenzi zako zonse, zimene unkasangalala nazo, amene unkawakonda ndi amene unkawada. Ndidzawasonkhanitsa motsutsana nawe kuchokera ku madera onse okuzungulira ndipo Ine ndidzakuvula pamaso pawo, ndipo iwo adzaona umaliseche wako wonse.
Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all them that you have loved, with all them that you have hated; I will even gather them round about against you, and will discover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 Ine ndidzakulanga monga mmene amalangira akazi amene amachita chigololo ndiponso opha anthu. Chifukwa cha ukali wanga ndi nsanje yanga, ndidzakhetsa magazi ako mokwiya kwambiri.
And I will judge you, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give you blood in fury and jealousy.
39 Ndidzakupereka mʼmanja mwa zibwenzi zako ndi kuwononga nyumba zopembedzera mafano ako. Iwo adzakuvula zovala zako ndi kutenga zodzikometsera zako zabwino. Choncho adzakusiya wa maliseche ndi wausiwa.
And I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your eminent place, and shall break down your high places: they shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bore.
40 Iwo adzabweretsa gulu la anthu limene lidzakuponya miyala ndi kukutematema ndi malupanga awo.
They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
41 Adzatentha nyumba zako ndi kukulanga iwe pamaso pa akazi ambiri. Ndidzathetsa chigololo chako, ndipo sudzalipiranso zibwenzi zako.
And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women: and I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot, and you also shall give no hire any more.
42 Ukali wanga udzalekera pamenepo ndipo sindidzakuchitiranso nsanje. Ndidzakhala chete osakwiyanso.
So will I make my fury toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 “‘Popeza sunakumbukire masiku a ubwana wako koma unandikwiyitsa ndi zinthu zonsezi, Ine ndidzakubwezera ndithu chilango pamutu pako chifukwa cha zimene wachita, akutero Ambuye Yehova. Paja unawonjezera chigololo pa machitidwe ako onyansa.
Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense your way on your head, says the Lord GOD: and you shall not commit this lewdness above all your abominations.
44 “‘Taona, onse onena miyambi adzakuphera mwambi wakuti, ‘Make mbuu, mwana mbuu.’
Behold, every one that uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 Ndiwedi mwana weniweni wamkazi wa mayi wako, amene amanyoza mwamuna wake ndi ana ake. Ndiwe mʼbale weniweni wa abale ako, amene amanyoza amuna awo ndi ana awo. Amayi ako anali Mhiti ndipo abambo ako anali Mwamori.
You are your mother’s daughter, that lothes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Mkulu wako anali Samariya, ndipo iye pamodzi ndi ana ake aakazi ankakhala cha kumpoto kwako. Mngʼono wako, Sodomu ankakhala cha kummwera kwako pamodzi ndi ana ake aakazi.
And your elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at your left hand: and your younger sister, that dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Iwe sunangotsatira kokha njira zawo zoyipa ndi kuchita zonyansa zawo, koma patangopita nthawi pangʼono machitidwe ako oyipa anaposa awo.
Yet have you not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, you were corrupted more than they in all your ways.
48 Ndithu pali Ine wamoyo, akutero Ambuye Yehova, ngakhale mʼbale wako Sodomu ndi ana ake aakazi sanachitepo zimene iwe ndi ana ako aakazi munachita.
As I live, says the Lord GOD, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 “‘Tsono tchimo la mʼbale wako Sodomu linali ili: Iye ndi ana ake aakazi ankanyadira kuchuluka kwa chakudya ndi chuma chawo. Koma sanalabadireko kuthandiza osauka ndi aumphawi.
Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 Anali odzitukumula ndipo ankachita zonyansa pamaso panga. Nʼchifukwa chake ndinawachotsa monga mmene waoneramu.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
51 Samariya sanachite ngakhale theka la machimo amene unachita. Iwe wachita zinthu zonyansa zambiri kuposa iwo, motero kuti abale ako awiriwo amaoneka ngati olungama kuyerekeza ndi iye.
Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters in all your abominations which you have done.
52 Tsono iwenso uyenera kuchita manyazi popeza waonetsa abale ako ngati osachimwa. Popeza kuti machimo ako ndi onyansa kwambiri kupambana awo, tsonotu iwowo akuoneka olungama kupambana iweyo. Choncho iwenso uchite manyazi ndi kunyozedwa popeza unaonetsa abale ako ngati olungama.
You also, which have judged your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins that you have committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than you: yes, be you confounded also, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 “‘Koma, ndidzadalitsanso Sodomu ndi ana ake aakazi. Ndidzadalitsanso Samariya ndi ana ake aakazi. Pa nthawi yomweyo ndidzakudalitsanso iwe Yerusalemu.
When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of your captives in the middle of them:
54 Ndidzatero kuti uchite manyazi ndi kunyozeka chifukwa cha zonse zimene unachita powatonthoza anthuwa.
That you may bear your own shame, and may be confounded in all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.
55 Motero mʼbale wako Sodomu ndi ana ake akadzakhala monga mmene analili poyamba paja, ndiponso mʼbale wako Samariya akadzakhalanso monga mmene anali poyamba paja, ndiye kuti iwenso ndi ana ako mudzakhala monga mmene munalili payamba paja.
When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Kale lija pamene unkanyada, suja unkanyogodola mʼbale wako Sodomu
For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 kuyipa kwako kusanadziwike? Koma tsopano wafanana naye. Wasandukano chinthu chonyozeka kwa anthu a ku Edomu ndi kwa onse owazungulira ndiponso kwa Afilisti. Ndithu onse amene akuzungulira amakunyoza.
Before your wickedness was discovered, as at the time of your reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise you round about.
58 Choncho udzalangidwa chifukwa cha zigololo zako ndi machitidwe anu onyansa, akutero Yehova.
You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD.
59 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzakulanga molingana ndi zimene unachita. Iwe unanyoza lumbiro lako pophwanya pangano langa.
For thus says the Lord GOD; I will even deal with you as you have done, which have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Komabe, Ine ndidzakumbukira pangano limene ndinachita nawe mʼmasiku a unyamata wako, ndipo ndidzakhazikitsa pangano losatha ndi iwe.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.
61 Tsono udzakumbukira njira zako zakale. Udzachita manyazi polandiranso abale ako, wamkulu ndi wamngʼono yemwe. Ndidzawaperekanso kwa iwe kuti akhale ngati ana ako ngakhale kuti sali a mʼpangano langa ndi iwe.
Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you shall receive your sisters, your elder and your younger: and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 Kotero ndidzakhazikitsa pangano langa ndi iwe, ndipo iwe udzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.
And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the LORD:
63 Ndikadzakukhululukira zoyipa zako zonse zimene unachita, udzazikumbukira ndipo udzachita manyazi kwambiri, kotero kuti sudzatha nʼkuyankhula komwe, akutero Ambuye Yehova.’”
That you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I am pacified toward you for all that you have done, says the Lord GOD.
