Yesaya 25
1 Yehova ndinu Mulungu wanga; ine ndidzakukwezani ndi kutamanda dzina lanu, pakuti mwachita zodabwitsa zimene munakonzekeratu kalekale mokhulupirika kwambiri.
O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, [even] counsels of old, in faithfulness [and] truth.
2 Inu mwasandutsa mzinda uja kukhala mulu wamiyala. Ndipo mzinda wamalinga wasanduka bwinja, linga la anthu achilendo lero si mzindanso ndipo sidzamangidwanso.
For thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Nʼchifukwa chake anthu amphamvu adzakulemekezani; mizinda ya mitundu ya anthu ankhanza idzakuopani.
Therefore shall a strong people glorify thee; a city of terrible nations shall fear thee.
4 Inu mwakhala ngati populumukira pa anthu osauka, mwakhala ngati kobisalirako munthu wovutika pa nthawi ya masautso ake. Mwakhala ngati pobisalirapo pa nthawi ya mphepo yamkuntho ndi mthunzi pa nthawi ya dzuwa. Pakuti anthu ankhanza ali ngati mphepo yamkuntho yowomba pa khoma,
For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 ndiponso ngati kutentha mʼdziko lowuma. Inu mumaletsa phokoso la anthu achilendo. Monga momwe mthunzi wa mtambo umachepetsa kutentha, inu munaletsa nyimbo za anthu ankhanza.
As the heat in a dry place wilt thou bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 Pa phiri ili Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzakonzera anthu a mitundu yonse madyerero a zakudya zokoma ndi vinyo wabwino. Phwando la nyama yonona ndi vinyo wabwino kwambiri.
And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 Iye adzachotsa kulira kumene kwaphimba anthu ngati nsalu. Adzachotsa chinsalu chimene chakuta mitundu yonse ya anthu.
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 Yehova adzathetsa imfa mpaka muyaya, Ambuye Yehova adzapukuta misozi mʼmaso mwa munthu aliyense; adzachotsa manyazi a anthu ake pa dziko lonse lapansi, Yehova wayankhula.
He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it.
9 Tsiku limenelo iwo adzati, “Ndithudi, uyu ndiye Mulungu wathu; ife tinamudalira ndipo anatipulumutsa. Uyu ndiye Yehova, ife tinamudalira; tiyeni tikondwe ndi kusangalala chifukwa watipulumutsa.”
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 Yehova adzateteza phiri limeneli ndi dzanja lake; ndipo Amowabu adzawapondereza pomwe alilipo, ngati mmene amapondera manyowa mʼdzenje.
For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.
11 Amowabuwo adzatambasula manja awo mʼmenemo, ngati mmene amachitira munthu wosambira. Koma Mulungu adzathetsa kunyada kwawo ngakhale luso la manja awo.
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim; but [Jehovah] will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands.
12 Iye adzagumula malinga awo ataliatali ndipo adzawagwetsa ndi kuwaponya pansi, pa fumbi penipeni.
And the high fortress of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
