< Yesaya 21 >
1 Uthenga wonena za chipululu cha mʼmbali mwa Nyanja. Ankhondo a ku Elamu ndi Mediya adzabwera ngati kamvuluvulu amene akuwomba modutsa mʼmbali ya nyanja, kuchokera ku chipululu, dziko lochititsa mantha.
The birthun of the forsakun see. As whirlewyndis comen fro the southwest, it cometh fro desert, fro the orible lond.
2 Ine ndaona zinthu zoopsa mʼmasomphenya: Wonyenga akunyenga, wofunkha akufunkha komanso owononga akuwononga. Elamu, yambani nkhondo! Mediya, zingani mzinda! Ine ndidzathetsa mavuto onse amene anayambitsa Ababuloni.
An hard reuelacioun is teld to me; he that is vnfeithful, doith vnfeithfuli; and he that is a distriere, distrieth. Thou Helam, stie, and thou, Meda, biseche; Y made al the weilyng therof for to ceesse.
3 Chifukwa cha zimenezi thupi langa likunjenjemera ndi mantha, ndikumva ululu ngati wa mayi amene akubereka; ndikuvutika kwambiri ndi zimene ndikumva, ndathedwa nzeru ndi zimene ndikuziona.
Therfor my leendis ben fillid with sorewe; angwische weldide me, as the angwisch of a womman trauelynge of child; Y felle doun, whanne Y herde; Y was disturblid, whanne Y siy.
4 Mtima wanga ukugunda, ndipo ndikunjenjemera ndi mantha; chisisira chimene ndakhala ndikuchifuna chasanduka chinthu choopsa kwa ine.
Myn herte fadide, derknessis astonieden me; Babiloyne, my derlyng, is set to me in to myracle.
5 Ankhondo a ku Elamu ndi Mediya akukonza matebulo, akuyala mphasa, akudya komanso kumwa! Mwadzidzidzi anamva mawu akuti, “Dzukani inu ankhondo, pakani mafuta zishango zanu!”
Sette thou a boord, biholde thou in to a toting place; rise, ye princes, etynge and drynkynge, take ye scheeld.
6 Zimene Ambuye akunena kwa ine ndi izi; “Pita, kayike mlonda kuti azinena zimene akuziona.
For whi the Lord seide these thingis to me, Go thou, and sette a lokere; and telle he, what euer thing he seeth.
7 Taonani, anthu akubwera ali pa akavalo ndipo akuyenda awiriawiri, okwera pa bulu kapena okwera pa ngamira, mlondayo akhale tcheru kwambiri.”
And he siy the chare of tweyne horse men, the stiere of an asse, and the stiere of a camel; and he bihelde diligentli with myche lokyng,
8 Ndipo mlondayo anafuwula kuti, “Ambuye anga, tsiku ndi tsiku ndimakhala pa nsanja yolondera; Usiku uliwonse ndimakhala pa malo anga olondera.
and criede as a lioun, Y stonde contynueli bi dai on the totyng place of the Lord, and Y stonde bi alle nyytis on my kepyng.
9 Taonani, uyo munthu akubwera atakwera pa galeta ali ndi gulu la akavalo. Mmodzi wa iwo akuti, ‘Babuloni wagwa, wagwa! Mafano onse a milungu yake agwa pansi ndipo aphwanyika!’”
Lo! this cometh, a man stiere of a carte of horse men. And Isaie criede, and seide, Babiloyne felle doun, felle doun; and alle the grauun ymagis of goddis therof ben al to-brokun in to erthe.
10 Inu anthu anga opunthidwa ndi kupetedwa ngati tirigu, ine ndikukuwuzani zimene ndamva ndikukuwuzani Uthenga wochokera kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli.
Mi threschyng, and the douyter of my cornfloor, Y haue teld to you what thingis Y herde of the Lord of oostis, of God of Israel.
11 Uthenga wonena za Duma: Munthu wina akundiyitana kuchokera ku Seiri kuti, “Iwe mlonda, usikuwu utha liti? Iwe mlonda, utha liti kodi usikuwu?”
The birthun of Duma. It crieth fro Seir to me, Kepere, what our of the niyt? `kepere, what our of the niyt?
12 Mlonda akuyankha kuti, “Kukucha, koma kudanso. Ngati ukufuna kufunsa, funsa tsopano; ndipo ubwerenso udzafunse.”
The kepere seide, Morewtid cometh, and niyt; if ye seken, seke ye, and be ye conuertid, and `come ye.
13 Uthenga wonena za Arabiya: Inu anthu amalonda a ku Dedani, amene usiku mumagona mʼzithukuluzi za ku Arabiya,
The birthun in Arabie. In the forest at euentid ye schulen slepe, in the pathis of Dodanym.
14 perekani madzi kwa anthu aludzu. Inu anthu a ku Tema perekani chakudya kwa anthu othawa nkhondo.
Ye that dwellen in the lond of the south, renne, and bere watir to the thristi; and renne ye with looues to hym that fleeth.
15 Iwo akuthawa malupanga, lupanga losololedwa, akuthawa uta wokokakoka ndiponso nkhondo yoopsa.
For thei fledden fro the face of swerdis, fro the face of swerd neiyynge, fro the face of bouwe bent, fro the face of greuouse batel.
16 Zimene Ambuye akunena kwa ine ndi izi: “Chaka chimodzi chisanathe, potsata mmene amawerengera munthu waganyu, ulemerero wonse wa Kedara udzatheratu.
For the Lord seith these thingis to me, Yit in o yeer, as in the yeer of an hirid man, and al the glorie of Cedar schal be takun awei.
17 Mwa anthu okoka uta, ankhondo a ku Kedara opulumuka adzakhala owerengeka.” Wayankhula ndi Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
And the remenauntis of the noumbre of stronge archeris of the sones of Cedar schulen be maad lesse; for whi the Lord God of Israel spak.
