Yesaya 2
1 Nazi zinthu zokhudza Yuda ndi Yerusalemu, zimene Yesaya mwana wa Amozi anaziona mʼmasomphenya:
The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem.
2 Mʼmasiku otsiriza, phiri la Nyumba ya Yehova adzalikhazikitsa kukhala lalitali kuposa mapiri ena onse, lidzaonekera pamwamba pa mapiri ena onse, ndipo mayiko onse adzathamangira kumeneko.
And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 Anthu ambiri adzabwera ndikunena kuti, “Tiyeni tikwere ku phiri la Yehova, ku nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yakobo. Iye adzatiphunzitsa njira zake, ndipo tidzayenda mʼnjira zakezo.” Malangizo adzachokera ku Ziyoni, mawu a Yehova adzachokera ku Yerusalemu.
And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 Iye adzaweruza pakati pa mayiko, ndipo adzathetsa kusamvana pakati pa anthu ambiri. Anthuwo adzasandutsa malupanga awo kukhala makasu ndiponso mikondo yawo kukhala zomwetera. Mtundu wina sudzatenganso lupanga kumenyana ndi mtundu wina, kapena kuphunziranso za nkhondo.
And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war.
5 Inu nyumba ya Yakobo, bwerani, tiyeni tiyende mʼkuwala kwa Yehova.
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 Inu Yehova mwawakana anthu anu, nyumba ya Yakobo. Iwo adzaza ndi zamatsenga zochokera Kummawa; amawombeza mawula ngati Afilisti, ndipo amayanjana ndi anthu osapembedza Mulungu.
For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.
7 Dziko lawo ndi lodzaza ndi siliva ndi golide; ndipo chuma chawo ndi chosatha. Dziko lawo ndi lodzaza ndi akavalo; ndipo magaleta awo ankhondo ngosawerengeka.
Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures.
8 Dziko lawo ndi lodzaza ndi mafano; iwo amapembedza ntchito ya manja awo, amagwadira zomwe anapanga ndi zala zawo.
And their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.
9 Tsono munthu aliyense adzachepetsedwa ndi kutsitsidwa. Inu Yehova musawakhululukire.
And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased: therefore forgive them not.
10 Lowani mʼmatanthwe, bisalani mʼmaenje, kuthawa kuopsa kwa Yehova ndi ulemerero wa ufumu wake!
Enter thou into the rock, and hide thee in the pit from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
11 Kudzikuza kwa anthu kudzatha, ndipo kudzitama kwa anthu kudzawonongedwa; Yehova yekha ndiye adzapatsidwe ulemu pa tsiku limenelo.
The lofty eyes of man are humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be made to stoop: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wakonzeratu tsiku limene adzatsitse onse onyada ndi odzitama, ndipo adzagonjetsa onse amphamvu,
Because the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and highminded, and upon every one that is arrogant, and he shall be humbled.
13 tsiku la mikungudza yonse ya ku Lebanoni, yayitali ndi yoonekera patali, ndiponso la mitengo yonse ya thundu ya ku Basani,
And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks of Basan.
14 tsiku la mapiri onse ataliatali ndiponso la zitunda zonse zazitali,
And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the elevated hills.
15 tsiku la nsanja zonse zazitali ndiponso malinga onse olimba,
And upon every high tower, and every fenced wall.
16 tsiku la sitima zapamadzi zonse za ku Tarisisi ndiponso la mabwato onse okongola.
And upon all the ships of Tharsis, and upon all that is fair to behold.
17 Kudzikuza kwa munthu kudzatha ndipo kudzitama kwa anthu kudzawonongedwa, Yehova yekha ndiye adzapatsidwe ulemu tsiku limenelo,
And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 ndipo mafano onse adzatheratu.
And idols shall be utterly destroyed.
19 Anthu adzathawira mʼmapanga a matanthwe ndi mʼmaenje a nthaka, kuthawa mkwiyo wa Yehova, ndiponso ulemerero wa ufumu wake, pamene Iye adzuka kugwedeza dziko lapansi.
And they shall go into the holes of rocks, and into the caves of the earth from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
20 Tsiku limenelo anthu adzatayira mfuko ndi mileme mafano awo asiliva ndi mafano awo agolide, amene anawapanga kuti aziwapembedza.
In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he had made for himself to adore, moles and bats.
21 Adzathawira mʼmapanga a matanthwe ndiponso mʼmingʼalu ya nthaka kuthawa mkwiyo wa Yehova ndiponso ulemerero wa ufumu wake, pamene Iye adzuka kugwedeza dziko lapansi.
And he shall go into the clefts of rocks, and into the holes of stones from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
22 Lekani kudalira munthu, amene moyo wake sukhalira kutha. Iye angathandize bwanji wina aliyense?
Cease ye therefore from the man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he is reputed high.
