Motero mitundu yonse ya anthu a dziko lapansi amene ankasangalala mu mthunzi wake idzawusiya. ¹³ Mbalame zonse zamlengalenga zidzakhala pa mtengo wakugwawo, ndipo nyama zakuthengo zonse zidzakhala pa nthambi zake. ¹⁴ Zidzakutero kuti pasakhalenso mitengo inanso ya mʼmbali mwa madzi yotalika kwambiri, imene idzatalike kwambiri ndi songa zake kufika mpaka ku mitambo. Komanso kuti pasadzakhalenso mitengo yolandira bwino madzi, imene idzatalika motero. Paja yonseyo kutha kwake ndi kufa, kupita ku dziko lapansi kukhala ndi anthu akufa amene analowa mʼmanda kale.

¹⁵ “ ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Pa nthawi imene mkungudzawo unatsikira ku manda, ndinawuza nyanja kuti iwulire maliro pakuwuphimba. Ndinawumitsa mitsinje ndipo madzi ambiri anaphwa. Ndinabweretsa mdima pa Lebanoni chifukwa cha mtengowo ndipo mitengo yonse ya mʼdzikomo inawuma. ¹⁶ Mitundu ya anthu inagwedezeka pakumva mkokomo wa kugwa kwake, pamene ndinawutsitsira ku manda pamodzi ndi iwo amene anafa.

32 Pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wa khumi ndi chiwiri, chaka chakhumi ndi chiwiri, Yehova anandiyankhula kuti: ² “Iwe mwana wa munthu imba nyimbo ya maliro a Farao mfumu ya Igupto ndipo uyiwuze kuti,

³ “Tsono Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti,

¹¹ “ ‘Pakuti ndikunena Ine Ambuye Yehova kuti,

¹⁶ “Mawu angawa adzakhala nyimbo ya maliro. Ana a akazi amitundu ya anthu adzayimba, kuyimbira Igupto ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo, akutero Ambuye Yehova.”

¹⁷ Pa tsiku la 15 la mwezi woyamba, chaka cha khumi ndi chiwiri, Yehova anayankhula kuti: ¹⁸ “Iwe mwana wa munthu, lirira gulu lankhondo la Igupto ndipo uwalowetse pamodzi ndi anthu ena amphamvu a mayiko ena ku dziko la anthu akufa. ¹⁹ Ufunse kuti, ‘Ndani amene akukuposa kukongola? Tsikirani ku manda ndi kukhala pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe.’ ²⁰ Aigupto adzagwa pakati pa amene akuphedwa ndi lupanga. Lupanga ndi losololedwa kale. Iye adzaphedwa pamodzi ndi gulu lake lankhondo. ²¹ Mʼkati mwa manda atsogoleri amphamvu pamodzi ndi ogwirizana nawo azidzakambirana za Igupto nʼkumati, ‘Afika kuno anthu osachita mdulidwe aja! Ndi awa agona apawa, ophedwa pa nkhondo.’

²² “Asiriya ali komweko ndipo ankhondo ake onse ali mʼmanda omuzungulira. Onsewo anaphedwa pa nkhondo. ²³ Manda awo ali kumalo ozama a dzenje, ndipo ankhondo ake azungulira manda ake. Onse amene anaopseza dziko la anthu amoyo aphedwa, agwa ndi lupanga.

²⁴ “Elamu ali komweko ndipo ankhondo ake ali mʼmanda omuzungulira. Onsewa anaphedwa pa nkhondo, natsikira ku manda ali osachita mdulidwe. Iwowa kale ankaopseza anthu pa dziko lapansi. Tsopano akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi amene ali mʼmanda. ²⁵ Amukonzera pogona pakati pa anthu ophedwa, pamodzi ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo litazungulira manda ake. Onsewo ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe ophedwa ndi lupanga. Paja anthuwa ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu a moyo. Koma tsopano akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi amene ali mʼmanda. Iwo ayikidwa pakati pa anthu ophedwa.

²⁶ “Mesaki ndi Tubala ali komweko, pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo litazungulira manda awo. Onsewo ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, ophedwa ndi lupanga. Paja ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo. ²⁷ Iwo sanayikidwe mwaulemu ngati ankhondo amphamvu amakedzana, amene anatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa ndi zida zawo zomwe za nkhondo. Malupanga awo anawayika ku mitu yawo, ndipo zishango zawo anaphimba mafupa awo. Kale anthu amphamvu amenewa ankaopsa dziko la anthu amoyo.

²⁸ “Iwenso Farao, udzaphwanyidwa ndi kuyikidwa pakati pa anthu osachita mdulidwe, amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga.

Iwo akugona osachita mdulidwe pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo akuchita manyazi pamodzi ndi iwo amene anatsikira kale ku manda.

³¹ “Farao ndi gulu lake lankhondo akadzawaona iwowa adzathunza mtima pokumbukira kuchuluka kwa gulu lake lankhondo limene linaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova. ³² Paja ankaopsa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo. Koma Faraoyo pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse adzayikidwa pamodzi ndi anthu osachita mdulidwe, pamodzi ndi amene anaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.”

Ezekieli Akhala Mlonda

33 Yehova anandiyankhula nati: ² “Iwe mwana wa munthu awuze anthu a mtundu wako kuti, ‘Paja zimati ndikatumiza nkhondo mʼdziko anthu a mʼdzikomo amasankha munthu mmodzi pakati pawo kuti akhale mlonda. ³ Tsono iyeyo amati akaona nkhondo ikubwera amaliza lipenga kuti achenjeze anthuwo. ⁴ Wina aliyense akamva lipenga koma osasamala, mdani uja akabwera nʼkumupha, ndiye kuti wadziphetsa yekha. ⁵ Iye anamva kulira kwa lipenga koma sanalabadire. Ndiye kuti wadziphetsa yekha. Akanasamala kuchenjeza kwa mlonda akanapulumuka. ⁶ Koma ngati mlondayo aona lupanga likubwera ndipo osawomba lipengalo kuchenjeza anthu, ndipo lupanga libwera ndi kuchotsa moyo wa mmodzi mwa iwo, munthu ameneyo adzafa chifukwa cha tchimo lake, koma ndidzamuyimba mlandu mlondayo chifukwa cha imfa ya mnzakeyo.’

⁷ “Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, ndakuyika kuti ukhale mlonda wa Aisraeli. Choncho imva mawu amene ndikuyankhula ndipo uwachenjeze. ⁸ Ndikawuza munthu woyipa kuti, ‘Iwe munthu woyipa, udzafa ndithu,’ ndipo iwe osayankhula kumuchenjeza kuti aleke njira zake, munthu wochimwayo adzafa chifukwa cha tchimo lake, koma Ine ndidzakuyimba mlandu chifukwa cha imfa yake. ⁹ Koma ngati uchenjeza munthu woyipa kuti aleke njira zake, ndipo iye osatero, adzafa chifukwa cha tchimo lake, koma iwe udzapulumutsa moyo wako.

¹⁰ “Iwe mwana wa munthu, akumbutse Aisraeli mawu awo akuti, ‘Ife talemedwa ndi zolakwa zathu ndi machimo athu, ndipo tikuwonda chifukwa cha zimene tachita. Kodi tingakhale ndi moyo bwanji?’ ” ¹¹ Uwawuze kuti, Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: “Pali Ine wamoyo, sindikondwera ndi imfa ya munthu woyipa. Ndimakondwera ndikamaona munthu woyipa akuleka zoyipa zake kuti akhale ndi moyo. Tembenukani! Tembenukani, siyani makhalidwe anu oyipa! Muferanji, Inu Aisraeli?

¹² “Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, awuze anthu a mtundu wako kuti, ‘Ngati munthu wolungama achimwa, ndiye kuti ntchito zake zabwino zija sizidzamupulutsa. Koma wochimwa akaleka ntchito zake zoyipazo, sadzalangidwa konse. Ndithu ngati munthu wolungama ayamba kuchimwa sadzatha kukhala ndi moyo chifukwa cha ntchito zake zabwino zija.’ ¹³ Ngati ndiwuza munthu wolungama kuti adzafa ndithu, koma iyeyo nʼkumadalira ntchito zake zabwino zimene anachita kale ndi kuyamba kuchimwa, ndiye kuti ntchito zake zabwinozo zidzayiwalika. Iye adzafa chifukwa cha machimo ake. ¹⁴ Ndipo ngati ndiwuza munthu woyipa kuti, ‘Udzafa ndithu,’ tsono iye nʼkutembenuka kuleka machimo ake ndi kuyamba kuchita zimene Yehova afuna, ¹⁵ monga kubweza chimene anatenga ngati chikole cha ngongole, kubweza chimene anaba, kutsatira malamulo omwe amapereka moyo ndi kuleka kuchita zoyipa, iye adzakhala ndithu ndi moyo; sadzafa. ¹⁶ Ndidzakhululuka machimo ake onse anachita. Iye wachita zimene ndi zolungama ndi zoyenera ndipo iye adzakhala ndi moyo ndithu.

¹⁷ “Komabe anthu a mtundu wako akunena kuti, ‘Zimene Ambuye amachita ndi zopanda chilungamo.’ Ayi, koma makhalidwe awo ndiwo ali osalungama. ¹⁸ Ngati munthu wolungama atembenuka ndi kuleka ntchito zake zolungama ndi kuyamba kuchita zoyipa, adzafa nazo. ¹⁹ Ndipo ngati munthu woyipa atembenuka ndi kuleka ntchito zake zoyipa ndi kuyamba kuchita zolungama ndi zoyenera, iye adzakhala ndi moyo pochita zimenezo. ²⁰ Koma Inu Aisraeli, mukunena kuti, ‘Zimene Ambuye amachita ndi zopanda chilungamo.’ Ayi, inu Aisraeli, Ine ndidzaweruza aliyense wa inu potsata ntchito zake.”

Mbiri ya Kuwonongeka kwa Yerusalemu

²¹ Pa tsiku lachisanu la mwezi wakhumi, chaka chakhumi ndi chiwiri cha ukapolo wathu, munthu wina amene anapulumuka ku Yerusalemu anabwera kudzandiwuza kuti, “Mzinda wagwa!” ²² Tsono madzulo ake munthuyo asanafike, dzanja la Yehova linali pa ine. Koma mmawa mwake munthuyo atabwera Yehova anatsekula pakamwa panga, motero kuti sindinakhalenso wosayankhula.

²³ Ndipo Yehova anandiyankhula kuti: ²⁴ “Iwe mwana wa munthu, anthu amene akukhala mʼmizinda ya mabwinja ya dziko la Israeli akunena kuti, ‘Abrahamu anali munthu mmodzi yekha, ndipo anamupatsa dziko lonse. Koma ife tilipo ambiri, motero tsono dzikolo ndi lathu.’ ²⁵ Choncho iwe uwawuze kuti Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, ‘Inu mumadya nyama ili ndi magazi ake, ndipo mumapembedza mafano ndi kukhetsa magazi, kodi tsono inu nʼkulandira dzikoli? ²⁶ Mumadalira lupanga lanu, mumachita zinthu zonyansa, ndipo aliyense wa inu amachita chigololo ndi mkazi wa mnzake. Kodi inu nʼkulandira dzikoli?’

²⁷ “Uwawuze kuti Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, ‘Ndithu pali Ine wamoyo, anthu amene anatsala mʼmizinda ya mabwinja adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, amene ali ku midzi ndidzawapereka kuti adzadyedwe ndi zirombo zakuthengo, ndipo amene ali mʼmalinga ndi mʼmapanga adzafa ndi mliri. ²⁸ Ndidzalisandutsa chipululu dzikolo, ndipo mphamvu zake zimene amanyadira zidzatheratu, ndipo mapiri a Yerusalemu adzasanduka chipululu, kotero kuti palibe amene adzatha kudutsako. ²⁹ Ndikadzasandutsa dzikolo chipululu chifukwa cha zonyansa zimene ankachita, pamenepo ndiye adzadziwa kuti ndine Yehova.’

³⁰ “Koma kunena za iwe, mwana wa munthu, anthu a mtundu wako akumayankhula za iwe akakhala pa makoma a mzinda ndi pa makomo a nyumba zawo. Akumawuzana kuti, ‘Tiyeni tikamve uthenga umene wachokera kwa Yehova.’ ³¹ Anthu anga amabwera kwa iwe, monga momwe amachitira nthawi zonse anthu anga, ndipo amakhala pansi pamaso pako kumvetsera mawu ako. Koma zimene akumvazo sazichita. Zokamba zawo zimaonetsa chikondi, koma mitima yawo imakhala pa phindu lawo. ³² Kunena zoona, kwa iwowo sindiwe kanthu konse, ndiwe munthu wamba chabe womangoyimba nyimbo zachikondi ndi liwu lokoma poyimba zeze. Kumva amamva mawu ako koma sawagwiritsa ntchito.

³³ “Koma zonsezi zikadzachitika, ndipo zidzachitika ndithu, pamenepo adzadziwa kuti mneneri anali pakati pawo.”
