< Yesaya 18 >
1 Tsoka kwa anthu a ku Kusi. Kumeneko kumamveka mkokomo wa mapiko a dzombe.
Væ terræ cymbalo alarum, quæ est trans flumina Æthiopiæ,
2 Dziko limenelo limatumiza akazembe pa mtsinje wa Nailo, mʼmabwato amabango amene amayandama pa madzi, ndikunena kuti, “Pitani, inu amithenga aliwiro, kwa mtundu wa anthu ataliatali a khungu losalala, ndi woopedwa ndi anthu. Akazembe anatumidwa ku dziko la anthu amphamvu ndi logonjetsa anthu ena. Dziko lawo ndi logawikanagawikana ndi mitsinje.”
qui mittit in mare legatos, et in vasis papyri super aquas. Ite angeli veloces ad gentem convulsam, et dilaceratam: ad populum terribilem, post quem non est alius: ad gentem expectantem et conculcatam, cuius diripuerunt flumina terram eius:
3 Inu nonse anthu a pa dziko lonse, inu amene mumakhala pa dziko lapansi, pamene mbendera yakwezedwa pa mapiri yangʼanani, ndipo pamene lipenga lilira mumvere.
omnes habitatores orbis, qui moramini in terra, cum elevatum fuerit signum in montibus, videbitis, et clangorem tubæ audietis:
4 Pakuti Yehova akunena kwa ine kuti, “Ndili chikhalire ku malo anga kuno, ndidzakhala chete, ndi kumangoyangʼana, monga momwe dzuwa limawalira nthawi yotentha, monganso momwe mame amagwera usiku pa nthawi yotentha yokolola.”
quia hæc dicit Dominus ad me: Quiescam, et considerabo in loco meo sicut meridiana lux clara est, et sicut nubes roris in die messis.
5 Pakuti, anthu asanayambe kukolola, maluwa atayoyoka ndiponso mphesa zitayamba kupsa, Iye adzadula mphukira ndi mipeni yosadzira, ndipo adzadula ndi kuchotsa nthambi zotambalala.
Ante messem enim totus effloruit, et immatura perfectio germinabit, et præcidentur ramusculi eius falcibus: et quæ derelicta fuerint, abscindentur, et excutientur.
6 Mitembo ya anthu ankhondo adzasiyira mbalame zamʼmapiri zodya nyama ndiponso zirombo zakuthengo; mbalame zidzadya mitemboyo nthawi yonse ya chilimwe, ndipo zirombo zidzayidya pa nthawi yonse yachisanu.
Et relinquentur simul avibus montium, et bestiis terræ: et æstate perpetua erunt super eum volucres, et omnes bestiæ terræ super illum hiemabunt.
7 Pa nthawi imeneyo anthu adzabwera ndi mphatso kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, zochokera kwa anthu ataliatali ndi osalala, kuchokera kwa mtundu wa anthu woopedwa ndi anthu apafupi ndi akutali omwe, mtundu wa anthu amphamvu ndi a chiyankhulo chachilendo, anthu amene dziko lawo ndi logawikanagawikana ndi mitsinje. Adzabwera nazo mphatso ku Phiri la Ziyoni, ku malo a Dzina la Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
In tempore illo deferetur munus Domino exercituum a populo divulso et dilacerato: a populo terribili, post quem non fuit alius, a gente expectante, expectante et conculcata, cuius diripuerunt flumina terram eius, ad locum nominis Domini exercituum montem Sion.
