Chigwa cha Mafupa Owuma
1Dzanja la Yehova linali pa ine, ndipo Mzimu wa Yehova unandinyamula nʼkukandikhazika pakati pa chigwa. Chigwacho chinali chodzaza ndi mafupa. 2Yehova anandiyendetsa uku ndi uku pakati pa mafupawo. Mafupawo anali ochuluka kwambiri mʼchigwa monsemo ndipo anali owuma kwambiri. 3Tsono Yehova anandifunsa kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi mafupa amenewa angakhalenso ndi moyo?”
Ndinayankha kuti, “Inu Ambuye Yehova, Inuyo nokha ndiye mukudziwa.”
4Pamenepo anandiwuza kuti, “Lengeza kwa mafupa amenewa ndi kuwawuza kuti amve mawu a Ine Yehova! 5Uwawuze kuti zimene Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikunena kwa mafupa ndi izi: Ndidzawuzira mpweya mwa inu, ndipo mudzakhalanso ndi moyo. 6Ndidzakupatsani mitsempha ndi mnofu. Ndiponso ndidzakukutani ndi khungu. Pambuyo pake ndidzawuzira mpweya mwa inu ndipo mudzakhalanso ndi moyo. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova.”
7Ndipo ndinanenera monga anandilamulira. Ndipo pamene ndinkanenera, ndinamva gobedegobede, ndipo mafupa aja anayamba kulumikizana, fupa ku fupa linzake. 8Ine ndinayangʼana, ndipo mitsempha ndi mnofu zinabwera pa mafupawo ndipo khungu linaphimba pamwamba pake, koma munalibe mpweya mwa iwo.
9Tsono Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Nenera kwa mpweya, nenera iwe mwana wa munthu ndi kuwuza mpweya mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova kuti, ‘Bwera kuno iwe mpweya. Bwera kuchokera ku mbali zonse zinayi ndi kudzawuzira anthu ophedwawa kuti akhalenso ndi moyo.’ 10Choncho ndinanenera monga anandilamulira ndipo mpweya unalowa mwa iwo; apo anthu akufawo anakhala ndi moyo, nayimirira ndipo linali gulu lalikulu lankhondo.”
11Kenaka Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Iwe mwana wa munthu, mafupa awa ndi nyumba yonse ya Israeli. Iwo amanena kuti, ‘Mafupa athu awuma ndipo chiyembekezo chathu chatayika, ife tawonongeka!’ 12Nʼchifukwa chake nenera ndi kuwawuza kuti, ‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Inu anthu anga, ndidzafukula manda anu, ndipo ndidzakutulutsanimo ndi kukubwezerani ku dziko la Israeli. 13Ndipo inu, anthu anga, mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova, pamene ndidzafukula manda anu ndikukutulutsanimo. 14Ine ndidzayika Mzimu wanga mwa inu ndipo mudzakhalanso ndi moyo. Pambuyo pake ndidzakulowetsani mʼdziko lanulanu. Choncho mudzadziwa kuti Ambuye Yehova ndayankhula zimenezi, ndipo ndidzazichitadi. Ndikutero Ine Yehova!’ ”
Dziko Limodzi Kutsogoleredwa ndi Mfumu Imodzi
15Yehova anandiyankhula kuti: 16“Iwe mwana wa munthu, tenga ndodo ndipo ulembepo kuti, ‘Ndodo ya Yuda ndi Aisraeli oyanjana nawo.’ Utengenso ndodo ina ndipo ulembepo kuti, ‘Ndodo ya Efereimu, ndiye kuti fuko la Yosefe ndi Aisraeli onse oyanjana nawo.’ 17Ulumikize ndodo ziwirizi kuti zikhale ndodo imodzi mʼdzanja lako.
18“Anthu a mtundu wako akadzakufunsa tanthauzo la zimenezi 19iwe udzawawuze mawu awa a Ine Ambuye Yehova akuti, ‘Ine ndidzatenga ndodo ya Yosefe imene ili mʼdzanja la Efereimu, ndi ya mafuko a Aisraeli oyanjana naye, ndi kuyilumikiza ku ndodo ya Yuda, kuti zikhale ndodo imodzi, ndipo zidzakhaladi ndodo imodzi mʼdzanja langa!’ 20Ndodo ziwiri zimene udzalembepozo zikadzakhala mʼmanja mwako pamaso pa anthu onse, 21udzawawuze kuti Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ndidzawachotsa Aisraeli pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kumene anapita ku ukapolo. Ndidzawasonkhanitsa kuchokera ku mbali zonse ndi kubwera nawo ku dziko lawolawo. 22Ndidzawasandutsa mtundu umodzi mʼdzikomo, pa mapiri a Israeli. Padzakhala mfumu imodzi yowalamulira, ndipo sadzakhalanso mitundu iwiri kapena kugawikana maufumu awiri. 23Sadzadziyipitsanso ndi mafano awo, kapena ndi zinthu zawo zonyansa, kapenanso ndi ntchito zawo zoyipa zilizonse. Ndidzawapulumutsa ku machimo awo onse ndi kuwayeretsa. Choncho adzakhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo.
24“ ‘Mtumiki wanga Davide adzakhala mfumu yawo, motero onsewa adzakhala ndi mʼbusa mmodzi. Iwo adzatsatira malamulo anga ndipo adzasamalira kusunga malangizo anga. 25Iwo adzakhala mʼdziko limene ndinalipereka kwa mtumiki wanga Yakobo, dziko limene makolo anu ankakhalamo. Iwo ndi ana awo pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zawo adzakhala kumeneko ndipo Davide adzakhala mfumu yawo kwa muyaya. 26Ndidzachita nawo pangano lamtendere; lidzakhala pangano lamuyaya. Ndidzawakhazikitsa ndi kuwachulukitsa, ndipo ndidzayika malo anga opatulika pakati pawo kwamuyaya. 27Nyumba yanga yokhalamo idzakhala pakati pawo; Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo, ndipo iwo adzakhala anthu anga. 28Pamenepo anthu a mitundu ina adzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova ndiye amene ndimasandutsa Israeli kukhala woyera, pamene malo anga opatulika adzakhala pakati pawo kwamuyaya!’ ”
