Ezekieli 23:1-49
23 Alimwi ijwi lya Jehova lyakandisikila kaliti:
2 “Omwanaamuntu, kwakali bamakaintu bobilo ibakazyedwe kumukaintu omwe.+
3 Bamakaintu aaba bakaba bavwuule mu Egepita;+ bakali kucita buvwuule kuzwa kubukubusi bwabo. Nkomunya ooko nkozyakatyankilwa nkolo zyabo, alimwi nkozyakasyobelwa nkolo zyabo zyabunakalindu.
4 Imazina aabo ngaaya, imupati wakali Ohola,* mpoonya musyoonto wakwe wakali Oholiba.* Bakazooba bangu akuzyala bana basankwa abasimbi. Lino kujatikizya mazina aabo, Ohola ngu Samariya,+ mpoonya Oholiba ngu Jerusalemu.
5 “Ohola wakatalika kucita buvwuule+ kacili wangu. Wakali kubanyomenena aabo ibakali kumufwida luunyaunya,+ basimukobonyina, nkokuti bana Asuri.+
6 Bakali beendelezi ibakasamide zisani zyacikambwe antoomwe abaleli babili—boonse buyo bakali balombwana beebeka, ibakatantide amabbiza aabo.
7 Wakazumanana kuvwuula ankumekume zyabana Asuri zyoonse, eelyo wakalisofwaazya+ amituni iisesemya* yabaabo mbaakali kunyomenena.
8 Tanaakaleka buvwuule mbwaakali kucita mu Egepita, nkaambo naakali mukubusi bakoona anguwe, bakazisyoba nkolo zyabunakalindu bwakwe, alimwi bakamufwida luunyaunya lutaambiki akoona anguwe.+
9 Aboobo ndakamwaaba mumaanza aabaabo ibakali kumufwida luunyaunya, ibana Asuri,+ aabo mbaakali kunyomenena.
10 Bakamuvwumbula mantanda aakwe,+ bakabweza bana bakwe basankwa abasimbi,+ alimwi bakamujaya apanga. Wakaba mukaintu uuli ampuwo mbyaabi akati kabamakaintunyina, eelyo bakamusubula.
11 “Mwanookwabo Oholiba naakabona cakacitika, luunyaunya lwakwe lwakaindila kubija, abwalo buvwuule bwakwe bwakali bubi kapati kwiinda bwamwanookwabo.+
12 Wakanyomenena basimukobonyina, bana Asuri,+ beendelezi alimwi abaleli babili ibakasamide zisani zyeebeka, kabatantide amabbiza—boonse buyo bakali balombwana babotu kapati.
13 Naakalisofwaazya, ndakabona kuti boonse bobilo bakali kutobela nzila yomwe.+
14 Pele walo wakazumanana kuyungizya micito yakwe yabuvwuule. Wakabona zifwanikiso zyabaalumi zyakazekaudwe abwaanda, izikozyanyo zyaba Kasidi zyakazekaudwe amusila uusalala,
15 zyabaalumi bakalyaangide ntambo muzibuno, ibakasamide zitambala zilamfwu zilileka-leka kumitwe, ibakali kulibonya mbuli basikalumamba, zyoonse buyo kaziiminina bana Babuloni, ibakazyalilwa mucisi caba Kasidi.
16 Mbwaakazibonena buyo, wakatalika kubafwida luunyaunya, amane wakabatumina batumwa kucisi caba Kasidi.+
17 Aboobo bana Babuloni bakaluujisi kuboola kuzikoona anguwe abulo bwakwe, eelyo bakamusofwaazya aluunyaunya lwabo.* Amane kusofwaazyigwa ambabo, wakazwa kulimbabo kacimidwe.
18 “Naakazumanana kucita buvwuule cakutalisenda akuvwumbula mantanda aakwe,+ ndakazwa kulinguwe kandicimidwe, mbubonya mbondakazwa kumwanookwabo kandicimidwe.+
19 Eelyo wakazumanana kuyungizya micito yakwe yabuvwuule,+ kayeeya mazuba aabukubusi bwakwe, naakali kucita buvwuule mucisi ca Egepita.+
20 Wakabanyomenena mbubonya bamakaintu baambali mbobanyomenena baalumi bajisi cizo cabwaalumi cili mbuli cambongolo alimwi bajisi cinswe cili mbuli cabbiza.
21 Yebo wakalombozya bukkale busesemya bwakubukubusi bwako mu Egepita,+ nobakali kusyoba nkolo zyako, inkolo zyakubukubusi bwako.+
22 “Aboobo swiilila yebo Oholiba, mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova: ‘Bona ndilabusya baabo bakuyanda+ mbookasiya kocimidwe, eelyo ndilabaleta kuti bakulwane kuzwa kumabazu oonse,+
23 bana Babuloni+ abana Kasidi boonse,+ baalumi baku Pekodi,+ ku Sowa alimwi aku Kowa, antoomwe abana Asuri boonse. Boonse buyo mbalombwana babotu, beendelezi alimwi abaleli babili, basikalumamba alimwi abaabo ibakasalwa, boonse kabatantide mabbiza.
24 Bayookulwana ankalaki zyankondo alimwi amavwili aavwuuma, ampi mpati yabasikalumamba, antobo mpati, ntobo nsyoonto alimwi acimpoompo. Bayakwiima mumasena aabo kabakuzingulukide koonse-koonse, alimwi ndiyoobapa nguzu zyakukubeteka, eelyo bayookubeteka kweelana acintu ciluzi mumeso aabo.+
25 Ndiyookunyemena, eelyo balo bayookucitila cabukali. Bayookosola mpemo yako amatwi aako, eelyo aabo bayoosyaala mulinduwe bayoojaigwa apanga. Bana bako basankwa abasimbi bayoobatola, alimwi aabo bayoosyaala mulinduwe bayakuumpwa cakumaninina amulilo.+
26 Bayookusamununa zisani+ akukunyanga zilisakatizyo zyako zibotu.+
27 Ndiyoobumana bukkale bwako busesemya abuvwuule bwako+ mbookatalikila mucisi ca Egepita.+ Uyooleka kubalanga alimwi tokaciyeeyi limbi cisi ca Egepita.’
28 “Mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova: ‘Bona ndili afwaafwi kukwaaba mumaanza aabaabo mbotayandi, aabo mbookasiya kocimidwe.+
29 Bayookucitila calunya, bayoozitola zintu zyoonse nzyookabelekela canguzu,+ akukusiya mbomunya oobo koli mantanda, kotasamide. Mantanda aako aajazya nsoni akutalilemeka kwako, bukkale bwako busesemya, alimwi abuvwuule bwako, zyoonse buyo ziyoosiigwa antangalala.+
30 Uyoocitilwa zintu eezyi akaambo kakuti wakali kutandila masi mbuli muvwuule,+ akulisofwaazya amituni yangawo iisesemya.+
31 Yebo watobela nzila yamwanookwanu,+ aboobo ndilabikka nkapu yakwe mujanza lyako.’+
32 “Mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova:
‘Yebo uyakwiinywa nkapu mpati alimwi ndamfwu yamwanookwanu,+Nkapu eeyo iizwide zintu eezyi, eelyo uyooba cintu cisekwa akuweelwa.+
33 Bucakolwa akuusa ziyookuzunda,Inzya nkapu yazintu ziyoosya alunyonyooko,Inkapu yamwanookwanu Samariya.
34 Uyakwiinywa, kwiimana doo,+ akukunya tukaye twanjiyoMpoonya uyoolinyongola nkolo zyako.
“Nkaambo mebo lwangu ndime ndaamba,” mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova.’
35 “Aboobo mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova: ‘Akaambo kakuti wandiluba alimwi tonoondibikkila maano abuniini,*+ uyoosubulwa akaambo kabukkale bwako busesemya abuvwuule bwako.’”
36 Mpoonya Jehova wakandaambila kuti: “Omwanaamuntu, sena ulilibambilide kubabeteka ba Ohola a Oholiba+ akubaambila cakutainda mumbali micito yabo iisesemya?
37 Bacita bumambe*+ alimwi mumaanza aabo muli bulowa. Tiibacita buyo bumambe amituni yabo iisesemya, pele alimwi bana babo mbobakandizyalila babaumpa* mumulilo kuti babe cakulya camituni yabo.+
38 Kuyungizya waawo, mboobu mbobandicitila: Bakasofwaazya cikombelo cangu mubuzuba oobo, alimwi bakasampaula masabata aangu.
39 Nobakamana kujaya bana babo basankwa kabali zipaizyo kumituni yabo iisesemya,+ bakanjila mucikombelo cangu kuti bacisofwaazye+ mubuzuba mbubonya oobo. Ncencico eeco ncobakacita mukati kaŋanda yangu.
40 Alimwi bakatuma amutumwa kuti akaite baalumi kuzwa kulamfwu.+ Nibakali kuboola, yebo wakasamba, wakapenta meso aako alimwi wakalibotezya azilisakatizyo.+
41 Kumane wakakkala acuuno cipati cabulemu,+ kumbele lyaco kakuli tebulu libambidwe kabotu+ aawo mpookabikka tununkilizyo twangu+ amafwuta aangu.+
42 Nkomunya ooko kwakali ciyoyooyo cankamu yabaalumi baliibide, akati kabo kwakali bacakolwa bakaletwa kuzwa munkanda. Aaba bakabikka nkaya kumaanza aabamakaintu akubasamika misini yeebeka kumutwe.
43 “Mpoonya ndakaamba kujatikizya mukaintu ooyo wakamanide akaambo kabumambe kuti: ‘Lino ooyu ulazumanana kucita buvwuule.’
44 Aboobo bakazumanana kunjila nkwaakabede, mbubonya muntu mbwaunka kumuvwuule. Oobo mbobakali kunjila kuli Ohola a Oholiba, bamakaintu ibajisi bukkale busesemya.
45 Pele baalumi baluleme bayoomubeteka bweelede akaambo kabumambe+ akutila bulowa;+ nkaambo bamakaintu aaba mbaasimamambe, alimwi bajisi bulowa mumaanza aabo.+
46 “Nkaambo mboobu mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova: ‘Bayooletelwa mpi yabasikalumamba kuti ibacite kuba cintu ciyoosya alimwi iceelede kusaalwa.+
47 Impi yabasikalumamba eeyo iyoobapwaya mabwe+ akubakosaula amapanga aabo. Bayoojaya bana babo basankwa abasimbi+ akuumpa maanda aabo amulilo.+
48 Ndiyoobumanizya bukkale busesemya mucisi eeci, eelyo bamakaintu boonse bayakwiiya ciiyo, aboobo tabakabutobeli bukkale bwanu busesemya pe.+
49 Bayoomusubula akaambo kabukkale bwanu busesemya alimwi akaambo kazibi nzyomwakacita amituni yanu iisesemya; aboobo muyoozyiba kuti mebo ndendime Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova.’”+
