Ezekiyeli 9:1-11
9 Patsogolo pace iye adakuwa m’makutu mwangu aciti: “Cemerani omwe an’dzabweresera nyathwa mzindayu, ali-wentse na cifuzo cace cakupfudzira m’manja.”
2 Ndidawona amuna 6 akubwera na ku cipata ca kuphiri kumbali ya ku norte. Ali-wentse akhana cifuzo cakupfudzira m’manja mwace ndipo pakati pawo pakhana mwamuna m’bodzi omwe akhadabvala bzakubvala bzabwino kwene-kwene, ndipo akhana kacombo ka tinta ka munembi m’ciuno mwace. Iwo adapita ndipo adaima pafupi na guwa la ntsembe la kobre.*
3 Patsogolo pace, ulemerero bwa Mulungu wa Jirayeri budacoka pomwe bukhali padzulu pa akerubi buciyenda padzulu pa templo, ndipo iye adayamba kucemera mwamuna omwe akhadabvala bzakubvala bzabwino ule, omwe akhana kacombo ka tinta ka munembi m’ciuno mwace.
4 Yahova adamuuza kuti: “Famba-famba mu mzinda wentse wa Jeruzalemu ndipo uikhe cizindikiro pa mikuma ya wanthu omwe akubonera na kuzunzika thangwe ra bzinthu bzentse bzakunyantsa bzomwe bzikucitika mu mzindayu.”
5 Ndipo iye adauza amuna winangowo ine ndikubva kuti: “Mutewereni ndipo mufambe-fambe mu mzindamu mucipha wanthu. Lekani kuwabvera ntsisi.
6 Muphe nkhalamba zentse, maswaka, madende, wana na akazi, tsono lekani kupha munthu ali-wentse omwe ana cizindikiro ndipo mun’funika kuyambira pa templo yangu.” Tenepo iwo adayamba na nkhalamba zomwe zikhali patsogolo pa temployo.
7 Patsogolo pace iye adawauza kuti: “Pswipizani templo ndipo dzazani panja pa temployo na wanthu wakufa. Ndokoni.” Tenepo iwo adayenda ndipo adayamba kupha wanthu wa mu mzindamo.
8 Pomwe iwo akhapha wanthuwo, ndinepano ndekha omwe ndidasala, tenepo, ndidagodama ndicitsulimisa nkhope yangu mpaka pantsi, ndicikuwa kuti: “Imwe Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu, kodi mun’pfudza wanthu wentse wakusala wa Jirayeri, pomwe mukukhuthulira ukali bwanu Jeruzalemu?”
9 Tenepo iye adanditawira kuti: “Kuphonya kwa nyumba ya Jirayeri na Djuda n’kukulu kwene-kwene. Dziko ladzala na mulandu wa mulopa ndipo mzinda wadzala na cinyengo, pakuti iwo akulewa kuti: ‘Yahova wasiya dzikoli. Yahova akuwona lini.’
10 Tsono inepano nin’dzawabvera lini ntsisi ndipo nin’dzakhala ndiribe nawo basa. Nin’dzawabwezera mwakubverana na bzicito bzawo.”
11 Tenepo ndidawona mwamuna omwe akhadabvala cakubvala cabwino kwene-kwene ule, omwe akhana kacombo ka tinta m’ciuno mwace ndipo iye adalewa kuti: “Ndacita bzentse ninga momwe mwandiuzira.”
