Yesaya 10
1 Tsoka kwa anthu amene amapanga malamulo opanda chilungamo, kwa iwo amene amalemba zongovutitsa anzawo,
Woe to them that write wickedness; for when they write they do write wickedness,
2 kuwalanda anthu osauka ufulu wawo ndi kumana chilungamo osautsidwa pakati pa anthu anga, amalanda zinthu za akazi amasiye ndi kubera ana amasiye.
perverting the cause of the poor, violently wresting the judgment of the needy ones of my people, that the widow may be a prey to them, and the orphan a spoil.
3 Kodi mudzatani pa tsiku la chilango, pofika chiwonongeko chochokera kutali? Kodi mudzathawira kwa yani kuti akuthandizeni? Nanga chuma chanu mudzachisiya kuti?
And what will they do in the day of visitation? for affliction shall come to you from afar: and to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory,
4 Kudzatsala nʼkungozolika mwamanyazi pakati pa anthu ogwidwa kapena kufa pamodzi ndi ophedwa. Komabe pa zonsezi mkwiyo wake sunawachokere, mkono wake uli chitambasulire.
that you may not fall into captivity? For all this [his] wrath is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
5 “Tsoka kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya, chikwapu cha mkwiyo wanga, iye ndiye ndodo ya mkwiyo wanga!
Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of my wrath, and anger are in their hands.
6 Ndidzamutuma kukalimbana ndi mtundu wosapembedza Mulungu, ndidzamutumiza kukalimbana ndi anthu amene amandikwiyitsa Ine, kukafunkha ndi kulanda chuma, ndi kuwapondereza pansi ngati matope a mʼmisewu.
I will send my wrath against a sinful nation, and I will charge my people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make them dust.
7 Koma izi si zimene akufuna kukachita, izi si zimene zili mʼmaganizo mwake; cholinga chake ndi kukawononga, kukapulula mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
But he meant not thus, neither did he devise thus in his soul: but his mind shall change, and [that] to destroy nations not a few.
8 Iye akuti, ‘Kodi atsogoleri anga ankhondo si mafumu okhaokha?’
And if they should say to him, You alone are ruler;
9 ‘Kodi Kalino sanagonjetsedwe monga Karikemesi? Kodi Hamati sali ngati Aripadi, nanga Samariya sali ngati Damasiko?
then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and have I [not] taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?
10 Dzanja langa linakantha maufumu a anthu opembedza mafano, mafumu amene mafano awo ndi aakulu kupambana Yerusalemu ndi Samariya;
As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, you idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.
11 nanga Ine nʼkulephera kodi kuwononga Yerusalemu pamodzi ndi mafano ake monga ndinakanthira Samariya pamodzi ndi mafano ake?’”
For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.
12 Ambuye akadzamaliza ntchito yonse yolanga phiri la Ziyoni ndi Yerusalemu adzalanganso mfumu ya ku Asiriya chifukwa cha kudzitama ndi kunyada kwake.
And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on Mount Sion and Jerusalem, [that] I will visit upon the proud heart, [even] upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.
13 Pakuti mfumuyo ikuti, “‘Ndachita zimenezi ndi dzanja langa, ndiponso ndi nzeru zanga, chifukwa ndine wozindikira zinthu. Ndinachotsa malire a mitundu ya anthu, ndinafunkha chuma chawo; ndinagonjetsa mafumu awo monga munthu wamphamvu.
For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of [my] understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.
14 Dzanja langa lagwira chuma cha mitundu ya anthu ngati momwe munthu amagwirira chisa cha mbalame, ngati momwe anthu amatolera mazira osiyidwa, motero inenso ndinasonkhanitsa mayiko onse; palibe mbalame imene inakupiza mapiko ake, kapena kuyasama kukamwa kuti ilire.’”
And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.
15 Kodi nkhwangwa ingathe kudzikuza kupambana woyigwiritsa ntchito, kapena macheka angathe kudzikuza kupambana wowagwiritsa ntchito? Ndiye kukhala ngati kuti chikwapu chikuzunguza munthu amene wachinyamula, kapena ngati kuti ndodo ikuopseza amene wayinyamula!
Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;
16 Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzatumiza matenda owondetsa kwa ankhondo amphamvu; kunyada kwa mfumuyo kudzapsa ndi moto wosazima.
but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonor upon your honor, and burning fire shall be kindled upon your glory.
17 Mulungu, Kuwala kwa Israeli, adzakhala ngati moto, Woyera uja wa Israeli adzakhala ngati malawi a moto. Motowo udzawatentha ndi kuwapsereza ngati minga ndi mkandankhuku pa tsiku limodzi.
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and he shall sanctify him with burning fire, and it shall devour the wood as grass.
18 Ankhondo ake adzawonongedwa ngati nkhalango yayikulu ndi ngati nthaka yachonde.
In that day the mountains shall be consumed, and the hills, and the forests, and [fire] shall devour [both] soul and body: and he that flees shall be as one fleeing from burning flame.
19 Mitengo yotsalira ya mʼnkhalango zake idzakhala yochepa kwambiri, yoti ndi mwana yemwe ndi kuyiwerenga.
And they that are left of them shall be a [small] number, and a child shall write them.
20 Tsiku limenelo otsalira a ku Israeli, opulumuka a nyumba ya Yakobo, sadzadaliranso anthu amene anawakantha, koma adzadalira Yehova, Woyerayo wa Israeli.
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the remnant of Israel shall no more join themselves with, and the saved of Jacob shall no more trust in, them that injured them; but they shall trust in the Holy God of Israel, in truth.
21 Otsalira adzabwerera, otsalira a Yakobo adzabwerera kwa Mulungu Wamphamvu.
And the remnant of Jacob shall [trust] on the mighty God.
22 Iwe Israeli, ngakhale anthu ako achuluke ngati mchenga wa ku nyanja, otsala okha ndiwo adzabwerere. Chiwonongeko chalamulidwa, chidzaonetsa chilungamo chosefukira.
And though the people of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be saved.
23 Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawononga ndithu dziko lonse monga momwe analamulira.
He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because the Lord will make a short work in all the world.
24 Nʼchifukwa chake, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akunena kuti, “Inu anthu anga okhala mu Ziyoni, musawaope Asiriya, amene amakukanthani ndi ndodo nakumenyani ndi zibonga monga mmene Igupto anachitira.
Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, Be not afraid, my people who dwell in Sion, of the Assyrians, because he shall strike you with a rod: for I am bringing a stroke upon you, that [you] may see the way of Egypt.
25 Patsala pangʼonongʼono kuti mkwiyo wanga uchoke pa inu ndipo ndidzaonetsa ukali wanga pa iwo mpaka kuwawononga.”
For yet a little while, and the indignation shall cease: but my wrath shall be against their council.
26 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawakwapula ndi chikwapu, monga momwe anakwapulira Amidiyani ku thanthwe la Orebu; ndipo adzatukula ndodo yake pa madzi ndikuwalanga monga analangira Igupto pa nyanja.
And God will stir up [enemies] against them, according to the stroke of Madiam in the place of affliction: and his wrath shall be by the way of the sea, [even] to the way that leads to Egypt.
27 Tsiku limenelo katundu wawo adzachotsedwa pa mapewa anu, goli lawo lidzachoka mʼkhosi mwanu; golilo lidzathyoka chifukwa cha kunenepa kwambiri.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his yoke shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his fear from you, and the yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.
28 Adani alowa mu Ayati apyola ku Migironi; asunga katundu wawo ku Mikimasi.
For he shall arrive at the city of Angai, and shall pass on to Maggedo, and shall lay up his stores in Machmas.
29 Adutsa pa mpata uja, ndipo akuti, “Tikagona ku Geba” Rama akunjenjemera; Gibeya, mzinda wa Saulo ukuthawa.
And he shall pass by the valley, and shall arrive at Angai: fear shall seize upon Rama, the city of Saul.
30 Lilani mokweza, inu anthu a ku Galimu! Tchera khutu, iwe Laisa! Iwe Anatoti wosauka!
The daughter of Gallim shall flee; Laisa shall hear; one shall hear in Anathoth.
31 Anthu a ku Madimena akuthawa; anthu a ku Gebimu bisalani.
Madebena also is amazed, and the inhabitants of Gibbir.
32 Lero lomwe lino adaniwo adzayima ku Nobu; adzagwedeza mikono yawo, kuopseza anthu a ku Ziyoni, pa phiri la Yerusalemu.
Exhort you [them] today to remain in the way: exhort you [beckoning] with the hand the mountain, the daughter of Sion, even you hills that are in Jerusalem.
33 Taonani, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, adzadula mwamphamvu nthambi za mitengo, mitengo yodzikweza idzadulidwa, mitengo yayitali idzagwetsedwa.
Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will mightily confound the glorious ones; and the haughty in pride shall be crushed, and the lofty shall be brought low:
34 Yehova adzadula ndi nkhwangwa mitengo ya mʼnkhalango yowirira; Lebanoni adzagwa pamaso pa Wamphamvu.
and the lofty ones shall fall by the sword, and the Libanus shall fall with his lofty ones.
