1 Mu gole laci 30, mwezi wacinai, pa ntsiku yacixanu ya mweziyo, pomwe ndikhali pabodzi na wanthu omwe akhali ku ukapolo pafupi na mkulo wa Kebari, kudzulu kudafunguka ndipo ndidayamba kuwona masomphenya ya Mulungu.
2 Pa ntsiku yacixanu ya mweziyo, mu gole lacixanu kucokera pomwe mambo Jewoyakini adayendesedwa ku ukapolo,
3 Ezekiyeli,* mwana wa Buzi omwe akhali wantsembe, adauzidwa mafala na Yahova pomwe akhali pafupi na mkulo wa Kebari mu dziko la Akalideya. Kumweko boko la Yahova lidamufikira.
4 M’masomphenyamo ndidawona conzi camphanvu cakucokera ku norte, ndipo ndidawonambo mtambo ukulu na mpheni ndipo mtamboyo ukhadazunguliridwa na ceza. Pakati pa motoyo pakhana cinthu comwe cikhawoneka ninga simbi.*
5 Ndipo ndidawonambo ninga anjo anai* ndipo anjowo akhana mawonekedwe ninga ya wanthu.
6 Anjo ali-wentse akhana nkhope zinai na maphaphidwe manai.
7 Nzayo zawo zikhafunyika lini, ndipo kuntsi kwa nzayo zawozo kukhali ninga kwa mphulu, ndipo zikhayetima ninga kobre* wakupukutidwa bwino.
8 Kuntsi kwa maphaphidwe yawo kukhana manja ya wanthu m’mbali zentse zinai, ndipo iwo akhana nkhope na maphaphidwe.
9 Maphaphidwe yawoyo yakhakhuyana. Akambafamba akhazungunuka lini; ali-wentse akhambandoyenda kutsogolo.
10 Ndipo nkhope zawo zikhana mawonekedwe aya: Anjo anaiwa akhana nkhope ya munthu, nkhope ya mphondolo kumadidi, nkhope ya ng’ombe kumadzere na nkhope ya mphungu.
11 Umu ni momwe nkhope zawo zikhaliri. Maphaphidwe yawo akhadayafuthulira m’dzaulu. Anjo ali-wentse akhana maphaphidwe mawiri yomwe yakhakhuyana, ndipo manango mawiri yakhampsinkha mathupi yawo.
12 Ali-wentse akhambandoyenda kutsogolo, kuli-kwentse komwe mzimu ukhafuna kuti ayende. Akambafamba, akhazungunuka lini.
13 Anjowo akhawoneka ninga masimbe ya moto, ndipo pakati pawo pakhana cinthu comwe cikhawoneka ninga mibvuniko yomwe ikhayenda uku na uku. Ndipo pamotopo pakhacoka mpheni.
14 Anjowo akhambafamba uku na uku, ndipo akambafamba akhawoneka ninga mpheni.
15 Pomwe ndikhanyang’anisisa anjowo, ndidawona roda lomwe likhali pantsi pafupi na anjo omwe akhana nkhope zinaiwo.
16 Mawonekedwe ya marodayo yakhayetima ninga mwala wa krizolito, ndipo maroda manaiyo yakhali yakundendemerana. Marodayo yakhawoneka ninga kuti roda libodzi liri mkati mwa linzace.*
17 Marodayo yakafamba, yakhakwanisa kuyenda ku mbali zentse zinai mwakusaya kugonyola pakufambapo.
18 Maroda yawo yakhali matali kwene-kwene mwakuti yakhadabwisa, ndipo maroda ya anjo wentse anai yakhadadzala na maso.
19 Anjowo akambafamba, marodayo yakhafambambo ndipo anjowo akambakwira, marodayo yakhakwirambo.
20 Iwo akhambayenda komwe mzimu ukhawatsogolera, ndipo akhayenda komwe mzimuyo ukhafuna kuti ayende. Ndipo nthawe zentse pomwe anjowo akhakwira, marodayo yakhakwirambo, pakuti mzimu omwe ukhatsogolera anjowo ukhalimbo m’marodamo.
21 Pomwe anjowo akhafamba, marodayo yakhafambambo; akaima, marodayo yakhaimambo; ndipo nthawe zentse pomwe anjowo akhakwira, marodayo yakhakwirambo, pakuti mzimu omwe ukhatsogolera anjowo ukhalimbo m’marodamo.
22 Pa msolo pa anjowo pakhana cinthu comwe cikhawoneka ninga mtambo ndipo cikhayetima ninga jelo ndipo cikhali cakudabwisa.
23 Pantsi pa mtamboyo, maphaphidwe ya anjowo yakhadafuthuka ndipo phaphidwe liri-lentse likhakhuyana na la anjo munango. Anjo ali-wentse akhana maphaphidwe mawiri yomwe yakhampsinkha mbali ibodzi ya thupi lace ndipo manango mawiri yakhampsinkha mbali inangoyo.
24 Pomwe ndidabva baludya la maphaphidwe yawo, likhali ninga kuunga kwa madzi yamphanvu, ninga Fala la Wamphanvu-zentse. Pomwe iwo akhafamba, baludyalo likhabveka ninga mdjintci wa acikunda. Ndipo akaima, akhangwesa maphaphidwe yawoyo.
25 Padzaulu pa mtambo omwe ukhali padzaulu pa misolo yawo pakhabveka mafala. (Akaima, akhagwesa maphaphidwe yawoyo.)
26 Pa mtambo omwe ukhali pamisolo yawoyo pakhana cinthu cakundendemerana na mwala wa safira, comwe cikhawoneka ninga mpando wa umambo. Pa mpando wa umambopo pakhadakhala cinthu comwe cikhawoneka ninga munthu.
27 Ndidawonambo cinthu cinango ninga simbi yakuyetima, comwe cinkhawoneka ninga kuti mkati mwace mukhagaka moto. Ndipo kucokera m’ciuno kuyenda kudzulu na kucokera m’ciunomo kuyenda pantsi, munthuyo akhawoneka ninga moto. Ndipo pa mbuto pomwe pakhana munthuyo pakhana ceza
28 ninga ca citaleza,* comwe cimbawoneka mu mtambo pa ntsiku ya nvula yamphanvu. Cimweci ni ceza comwe cikhawoneka pa mbutopo. Cikhawoneka ninga ulemerero bwa Yahova. Pomwe ndidawona bzimwebzi, ndidagodama ndicitsulimisa mkhope yangu mpaka pantsi. Ndipo ndidayamba kubva mafala ya munthu munango akulewalewa.
