< Yesaya 19 >
1 Uthenga onena za Igupto: Taonani, Yehova wakwera pa mtambo waliwiro, ndipo akupita ku Igupto. Mafano a ku Igupto akunjenjemera pamaso pake, ndipo mitima ya Aigupto yachokamo ndi mantha.
The burden of Egypt [Abode of slavery]: “Behold, Adonai rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt [Abode of slavery]. The idols of Egypt [Abode of slavery] will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt [Abode of slavery] will melt within it.
2 “Ine ndidzadzutsa Aigupto kuti amenyane okhaokha; mʼbale adzamenyana ndi mʼbale wake, mnansi ndi mnansi wake, mzinda ndi mzinda unzake, ndiponso ufumu ndi ufumu unzake.
I will stir up the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] against the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Aigupto adzataya mtima popeza ndidzalepheretsa zolinga zawo; adzapempha nzeru kwa mafano awo ndiponso kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa, kwa amawula ndi kwa oyankhula ndi mizimu.
The spirit of Egypt [Abode of slavery] will fail within it. I will destroy its counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.
4 Ndidzawapereka Aigupto kwa olamulira ankhanza, ndipo mfumu yoopsa idzawalamulira,” akutero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
I will give over the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them,” says, Adon, Adonai Tzva'ot [Lord, Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies].
5 Madzi a mu mtsinje wa Nailo adzaphwa, ndipo mʼmbali mwa mtsinje mudzangʼaluka ndi kuwuma.
The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
6 Ngalande zake zidzanunkha; ndipo mitsinje ya Igupto idzayamba kuchepa ndi kuwuma. Bango ndi dulu zidzafota,
The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt [Abode of slavery] will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.
7 ndiponso zomera za mʼmphepete mwa Nailo ndi ku mathiriro a mtsinjewo. Zonse zodzalidwa mʼmbali mwa Nailo zidzawuma, zidzawuluzika ndipo sizidzaonekanso.
The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
8 Asodzi adzabuwula ndi kudandaula, onse amene amaponya mbedza mu Nailo; onse amene amaponya makoka mʼmadzi adzalira.
The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.
9 Amene amagwira ntchito yopota thonje adzataya mtima, anthu oluka nsalu zofewa zabafuta adzataya chiyembekezo.
Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.
10 Akatswiri opanga nsalu adzangoti kakasi, ndipo anthu onse ogwira ntchito yolipidwa adzatheratu mphamvu.
The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.
11 Akuluakulu a ku Zowani ndi zitsiru; aphungu a nzeru a Farao amalangiza zopusa. Kodi mungathe kunena bwanji kwa Farao kuti, “Ine ndine mmodzi mwa anthu anzeru, wophunzira wa mafumu akale?”
The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?”
12 Iwe Farao, anthu ako anzeru ali kuti? Abweretu kuti akuwuze ndi kukudziwitsa zimene Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wakonza kuchitira dziko la Igupto.
Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] has purposed concerning Egypt [Abode of slavery].
13 Akuluakulu a ku Zowani asanduka zitsiru, atsogoleri a ku Mefisi anamizidwa; atsogoleri a dziko la Igupto asocheretsa anthu a dzikolo.
The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt [Abode of slavery] to go astray, who are the corner-stone of her tribes.
14 Yehova wasocheretsa anthu a ku Igupto. Iwo akuchita kudzandira pa zonse zimene akuchita, ngati chidakwa choterereka pa masanzi ake.
Adonai has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the middle of her; and they have caused Egypt [Abode of slavery] to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 Palibe chimene munthu wa mu Igupto angachite, mtsogoleri kapena wotsatira, nthambi ya kanjedza kapena bango.
Neither shall there be any work for Egypt [Abode of slavery], which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
16 Tsiku limenelo Aigupto adzakhala ngati amayi. Adzanjenjemera ndi kuchita mantha akadzaona Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, atakweza dzanja lake kufuna kuwalanga.
In that day the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]’s hand, which he shakes over them.
17 Ndipo dziko la Yuda lidzaopsa dziko la Aigupto. Aliyense amene adzamve dzina la Yuda adzaopsedwa chifukwa cha zimene Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wakonzekera kuchitira dziko la Igupto.
The land of Judah [Praised] will become a terror to Egypt [Abode of slavery]. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], which he determines against it.
18 Tsiku limenelo ku dziko la Igupto kudzakhala mizinda isanu yoyankhula chiyankhulo cha Akanaani, ndipo anthu ake adzalumbira kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse kuti adzamutumikira. Umodzi mwa mizindayo udzatchedwa Mzinda Wachilungamo.
In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] that speak the language of Canaan [Humbled], and swear to Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]. One will be called “The city of destruction.”
19 Tsiku limenelo mʼkati mwa dziko la Igupto mudzakhala guwa lansembe la Yehova, ndipo mʼmalire mwake adzayikira Yehova mwala wachikumbutso.
In that day, there will be an altar to Adonai in the middle of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and a pillar to Adonai at its border.
20 Zimenezo zidzakhala umboni wozindikiritsa kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse alimo mʼdziko la Igupto. Pamene Aigupto adzalirira Yehova chifukwa cha owapondereza, Iye adzawatumizira mpulumutsi ndi mtetezi ndipo adzawalanditsa.
It will be for a sign and for a witness to Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]; for they will cry to Adonai because of oppressors, and he will send them one to save and a defend them, and he will deliver them.
21 Kotero Yehova adzadziulula yekha kwa Aigupto, ndipo tsiku limenelo adzadziwa Yehova. Adzapembedza Yehova popereka nsembe ndi popereka zopereka zachakudya; Adzalumbira kwa Yehova ndipo adzachita zimene alumbirazo.
Adonai will be known to Egypt [Abode of slavery], and the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will know Adonai in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to Adonai, and will perform it.
22 Yehova adzakantha Aigupto ndi mliri. Iye adzawakanthadi ndipo kenaka adzawachiritsa. Aigupto adzatembenukira kwa Yehova ndipo Iye adzamva madandawulo awo ndi kuwachiritsa.
Adonai will strike Egypt [Abode of slavery], striking and healing. They will make teshuvah ·complete return· to Adonai, and he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.
23 Tsiku limenelo kudzakhala msewu waukulu wochoka ku Igupto kupita ku Asiriya. Aasiriya adzapita ku Igupto ndi Aigupto ku Asiriya. Aigupto ndi Aasiriya adzapembedza pamodzi.
In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt [Abode of slavery] to Assyria [Level plain], and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt [Abode of slavery], and the Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery] into Assyria [Level plain]; and the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] will worship with the Assyrians.
24 Tsiku limenelo Israeli adzakhala pamodzi ndi Igupto ndi Asiriya, mayiko atatuwa adzakhala dalitso pa dziko lapansi.
In that day, Israel [God prevails] will be the third with Egypt [Abode of slavery] and with Assyria [Level plain], a blessing within the earth;
25 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawadalitsa, ndi mawu awa, “Adalitsike anthu anga Aigupto, Aasiriya, ntchito ya manja anga, ndi Aisraeli osankhidwa anga.”
because Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] has blessed them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt [Abode of slavery] my people, Assyria [Level plain] the work of my hands, and Israel [God prevails] my inheritance.”
