< Yesaya 27 >
1 Tsiku limenelo, Yehova ndi lupanga lake lakuthwa, lalikulu ndi lamphamvu, adzalanga Leviyatani chinjoka chothawa chija, Leviyatani chinjoka chodzikulunga; adzapha chirombo choopsa cha mʼnyanja.
In that day the LORD with his keen and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he will slay the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2 Tsiku limenelo Yehova adzati, “Tidzayimba nyimbo ya munda wamphesa wobereka bwino:
In that day sing ye to her, A vineyard of red wine.
3 Ine, Yehova, ndimawuyangʼanira; ndimawuthirira nthawi zonse. Ndimawulondera usana ndi usiku kuti wina angawononge.
I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest [any] hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Ine sindinakwiye. Ngati mkandankhuku ndi minga zikanaoneka ndikanalimbana nazo! Ndikachita nazo nkhondo; ndikanazitentha zonse ndi moto.
Fury [is] not in me: who would set the briers [and] thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Koma ngati apo ayi, abweretu kwa Ine adani angawo kuti ndidzawateteze; apangane nane za mtendere, ndithu, apangane nane za mtendere.”
Or let him take hold of my strength, [that] he may make peace with me, [and] he shall make peace with me.
6 Masiku akubwerawo Yakobo adzazika mizu, Israeli adzaphukira ndi kuchita maluwa, ndipo adzadzaza dziko lonse lapansi ndi zipatso.
He shall cause them that descend from Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Kodi Yehova anakantha Israeli ngati momwe anakanthira anthu amene anazunza Israeli? Kapena kodi Yehova anapha Israeli ngati mmene anthu ena anaphera Israeli?
Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? [or] is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 Yehova mwawalanga powapirikitsa ndi kuwatumiza ku ukapolo, mwawachotsa ndi mpweya wanu woopsa, monga zimachitikira pa tsiku la mkuntho wochokera kummawa.
In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9 Yehova adzakhululuka kulakwa kwa Yakobo. Iwo adzaonetsa kuti alapadi pamene adzaphwanya miyala yonse ya guwa lachikunja, ngati mmene anthu amaphwanyira miyala yanjereza mpaka kukhala ngati fumbi lokhalokha. Sipadzapezekanso mafano a Asera kapena maguwa ofukiza lubani.
By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this [is] all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalk-stones that are beaten asunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
10 Mzinda wamalinga uja wasanduka bwinja, wasanduka malo osiyidwa, ndi kutayidwa ngati chipululu; kumeneko amadyetselako ana angʼombe kumeneko zimapumulako ziweto ndi kumwetula nthambi za mitengo kotheratu.
Yet the fortified city [shall be] desolate, [and] the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its branches.
11 Pamene nthambi za mitengoyo zauma, zimathyoka ndipo amayi amabwera nazitola ndi kuzisandutsa nkhuni. Pakuti awa ndi anthu opanda nzeru; kotero Mulungu amene anawapanga sadzachitira chisoni, ndipo Mlengi wawo sawakomera mtima.
When its boughs are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come [and] set them on fire: for it [is] a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
12 Tsiku limenelo Yehova adzasonkhanitsa pamodzi anthu ake mmodzimmodzi kumalo opunthira tirigu, kuchokera ku mtsinje wa Yufurate mpaka ku mtsinje wa ku Igupto.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall gather from the channel of the river to the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 Ndipo tsiku limenelo lipenga lalikulu lidzalira. Amene akuzunzika ku Asiriya iwo amene ali ku ukapolo ku Igupto adzabwera ndi kudzalambira Yehova pa phiri lopatulika mu Yerusalemu.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD on the holy mount at Jerusalem.
