Yesaya 24
1 Taonani, Yehova adzawononga dziko lapansi ndi kulisandutsa chipululu; Iye adzasakaza maonekedwe ake ndi kumwaza anthu ake onse.
Khangela, uThixo uzabhidliza umhlaba utshabalale; uzawuchitha, ahlakaze abahlala kuwo.
2 Aliyense zidzamuchitikira mofanana: wansembe chimodzimodzi munthu wamba, antchito aamuna mofanananso ndi ambuye awo aamuna, antchito aakazi chimodzimodzi ambuye awo aakazi, wogula chimodzimodzi wogulitsa, wobwereka chimodzimodzi wobwereketsa, okongola chimodzimodzi okongoza.
Kuzafanana okuzenziwa kumphristi kuzenziwa lasebantwini, okuzenziwa enkosini kuzenziwa lasencekwini, okuzenziwa enkosikazini kuzenziwa lasencekukazini, okuzenziwa kumthengisi kuzenziwa lakumthengi, okuzenziwa kowebolekayo kuzenziwa lakumebolekisi, okuzenziwa kokweledayo kuzenziwa lakokweledisayo.
3 Dziko lapansi lidzawonongedwa kwathunthu ndi kusakazikiratu. Yehova wanena mawu awa.
Umhlaba uzatshabalaliswa nya uphangwe uqedwe du. UThixo uselikhulumile ilizwi leli.
4 Dziko lapansi likulira ndipo likufota, dziko lonse likuvutika ndipo likuwuma, anthu omveka a dziko lapansi akuvutika.
Umhlaba uyoma ubune, umhlaba uyahodoza ubune, abaphakemeyo bomhlaba bayahodoza!
5 Anthu ayipitsa dziko lapansi; posamvera malangizo ake; pophwanya mawu ake ndi pangano lake lamuyaya.
Umhlaba ungcoliswa ngabantu bawo. Kabayilalelanga imithetho, beqe imilayo bephula isivumelwano esingapheliyo.
6 Nʼchifukwa chake matemberero akuwononga dziko lapansi; anthu a mʼdzikomo akuzunzika chifukwa cha kulakwa kwawo, iwo asakazika ndipo atsala ochepa okha.
Ngakho-ke umhlaba uchithwa yisiqalekiso; abantu bawo kumele bahlupheke ngenxa yokona kwabo. Ngakho abantu abahlala emhlabeni bayatshiswa, njalo balutshwana kakhulu abaseleyo.
7 Vinyo watsopano watha ndipo mphesa zikufota; onse okonda zosangalatsa ali ndi chisoni.
Iwayini elitsha liyaphela, amavini ayabuna; bonke abenza umsindo bejabula bayabubula.
8 Kulira kokometsera kwa matambolini kwatha, phokoso la anthu osangalala latha, zeze wosangalatsa wati zii.
Ukukhala kwamagedla kuthulisiwe, umsindo wabajabulayo usuphelile, ichacho lentokozo selithule.
9 Anthu sadzayimbanso akumwa vinyo; akadzamwa zaukali zidzakhala zowawa mʼkamwa mwawo.
Kabasanathi iwayini behlabela, utshwala buyababa kubanathi babo.
10 Mzinda wachisokonezo uja wawonongeka; nyumba iliyonse yatsekedwa.
Idolobho elidilikileyo litshabalele; iminyango yezindlu zonke ivalekile.
11 Anthu akulira mʼmisewu kufuna vinyo; chimwemwe chonse chatheratu, palibenso chisangalalo pa dziko lapansi.
Emigwaqweni bakhalela iwayini, yonke intokozo iba yikudana, ukujabula konke kuphelile emhlabeni.
12 Mzinda wasanduka bwinja zipata zake zagumuka.
Idolobho lisele selingamanxiwa, isango lalo libhidlizwe laba yizicucu.
13 Zimenezi ndizo zidzachitikire mitundu yonse ya dziko lapansi ndiponso pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. Zidzakhala ngati pamene mitengo ya olivi yayoyoledwa, kapena ngati nthawi ya kunkha la mphesa atatsiriza kukolola.
Kuzakuba njalo emhlabeni laphakathi kwezizwe, njengalapho isihlahla somʼoliva sinyikinywa, loba njengezithelo ezitholwa emva kokuvunwa kwamavini.
14 Koma otsala onse akufuwula ndi kuyimba mwachimwemwe; anthu akumadzulo akutamanda ukulu wa Yehova.
Baphakamisa amazwi abo, bahlabele ngentokozo; bememezela ubukhosi bukaThixo bengasentshonalanga.
15 Nʼchifukwa chake inu akummawa, tamandani Yehova; ndi inu okhala mʼmphepete mwa nyanja kwezani dzina la Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli.
Ngakho-ke dumisani uThixo empumalanga; phakamisani uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ezihlengeni zolwandle.
16 Kuchokera kumalekezero a dziko lapansi tikumva kuyimba kotamanda “Wolungamayo.” Koma ine ndinati, “Ndatheratu, ndatheratu! Tsoka kwa ine! Anthu achinyengo akupitirizabe kuchita zachinyengo, inde chinyengo chawo chikunkerankera mʼtsogolo.”
Sizwa ukuhlabelela okuvela emikhawulweni yomhlaba: “Udumo kalube koLungileyo.” Kodwa mina ngathi, “Ngiyacikizeka, ngiyacikizeka! Maye mina! Abakhohlisi bayaceba! Ngenkohliso abakhohlisi bayaceba!”
17 Inu anthu adziko lapansi, zoopsa, dzenje ndi msampha zikukudikirani.
Ukwesaba, igodi lomjibila kulilindele, lina bantu basemhlabeni.
18 Aliyense wothawa phokoso la zoopsa adzagwa mʼdzenje; ndipo aliyense wotuluka mʼdzenjemo adzakodwa ndi msampha. Zitseko zakumwamba zatsekulidwa, ndipo maziko a dziko lapansi agwedezeka.
Loba ngubani obalekela umsindo wokwesaba uzawela egodini; loba ngubani ophumayo egodini uzabanjwa ngumjibila. Amasango asezulwini avuliwe, izisekelo zomhlaba ziyanyikinyeka.
19 Dziko lapansi lathyokathyoka, ndipo lagawika pakati, dziko lapansi lagwedezeka kotheratu.
Umhlaba usubhidlikile, umhlaba usudabuke phakathi, umhlaba usunyikinywe impela.
20 Dziko lapansi likudzandira ngati munthu woledzera likugwedezeka ndi mphepo ngati chisimba; lalemedwa ndi machimo ake. Lidzagwa ndipo silidzadzukanso.
Umhlaba udiyazela njengesidakwa, uzunguzeka njengendlu kulesiphepho; siwusinda kangaka isono sokuhlamuka kwawo uze uwe, awuyikuvuka futhi.
21 Tsiku limenelo Yehova adzalanga amphamvu a kumwamba ndiponso mafumu apansi pano.
Ngalolosuku uThixo uzajezisa amabutho asemazulwini phezulu lamakhosi emhlabeni ngaphansi.
22 Mulungu adzawasonkhanitsa pamodzi ngati amʼndende amene ali mʼdzenje. Adzawatsekera mʼndende ndipo adzalangidwa patapita nthawi yayitali.
Bazabuthelwa ndawonye njengezibotshwa zibotshiwe emgodini oyintolongo. Bazavalelwa entolongweni bajeziswe emva kwensuku ezinengi.
23 Mwezi udzanyazitsidwa, dzuwa lidzachita manyazi; pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzakhala mfumu ndipo adzalamulira; pa Phiri la Ziyoni ndi ku Yerusalemu, ndipo adzaonetsa ulemerero wake pamaso pa akuluakulu.
Inyanga izayangeka, ilanga libelenhloni; ngoba uThixo uSomandla uzabusa ngenkazimulo phezu kweNtaba iZiyoni laphakathi kweJerusalema, laphambi kwabadala bakhona.
