Yesaya 3
1 Taonani tsopano, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, ali pafupi kuchotsa mu Yerusalemu ndi mu Yuda zinthu pamodzi ndi thandizo; adzachotsa chakudya chonse ndi madzi onse,
Khangelani khathesi UThixo, uThixo uSomandla usezasusa eJerusalema lelizweni lakoJuda okufunekayo losizo: konke ukudla lamanzi,
2 anthu amphamvu ndi asilikali ankhondo, oweruza ndi aneneri, anthu olosera ndi akuluakulu,
iqhawe lebutho, umahluleli lomphrofethi, isangoma lomuntu omdala,
3 atsogoleri a ankhondo makumi asanu ndi anthu olemekezeka, aphungu ndi anthu amatsenga ndi akatswiri pa za kulosera.
induna yebutho labangamatshumi amahlanu lamadoda ayizikhulu, umeluleki, ingcitshi yemisebenzi, lesanuse esihlakaniphileyo.
4 Ndidzawayikira anyamata kuti akhale mafumu awo; ana akhanda ndiwo adzawalamulire.
“Ngizakwenza abafana babeyizikhulu zabo; abantwana nje bazababusa.”
5 Anthu adzazunzana, munthu ndi munthu mnzake, mnansi ndi mnansi wake. Anthu wamba adzanyoza akuluakulu.
Abantu bazancindezelana, umuntu avukele umuntu, umakhelwane avukele umakhelwane. Abatsha bazavukela abadala, abeyisekayo bavukele abahlonitshwa.
6 Munthu adzagwira mʼbale wake mʼnyumba ya abambo awo, ndipo adzati, “Iwe uli nawo mwinjiro, ndiye ukhale mtsogoleri wathu; lamulira malo opasuka ano!”
Indoda izabamba omunye wabafowabo emzini kayise ithi, “Ulesembatho, woba ngumkhokheli wethu, inqwaba yamanxiwa le izakuba ngaphansi kombuso wakho.”
7 Koma tsiku limenelo mʼbale wakeyo adzafuwula kuti, “Ayi, mavuto oterewa ndilibe mankhwala ake. Ndilibe chakudya kapena chovala mʼnyumba mwanga; musasankhe ine kukhala mtsogoleri wa anthu.”
Kodwa ngalolosuku uzakhala athi, “Angilamasiza. Endlini yami akulakudla loba izigqoko; ungangenzi umkhokheli wabantu.”
8 Yerusalemu akudzandira, Yuda akugwa; zokamba zawo ndi ntchito zawo nʼzotsutsana ndi Yehova, sakulabadira ulemerero wa Mulungu.
IJerusalema liyadiyazela, uJuda uyawa; amazwi abo lezenzo zabo kuphambene loThixo, kweyisa ubukhosi bakhe.
9 Maonekedwe a nkhope zawo amawatsutsa; amaonetsera poyera tchimo lawo ngati Sodomu; salibisa tchimo lawolo. Tsoka kwa iwo odziputira okha mavuto.
Ukukhangeleka kobuso babo kufakaza kubi ngabo; babukisa izono zabo njengeSodoma; kabazifihli. Maye kubo! Bazilethele incithakalo phezu kwabo.
10 Nena kwa olungama kuti zonse zidzawayendera bwino, pakuti adzakondwera ndi phindu la ntchito zawo.
Tshela abalungileyo ukuthi kuzakuba kuhle kubo, ngoba bazakholisa izithelo zezenzo zabo.
11 Tsoka kwa anthu oyipa! Mavuto ali pa iwo! Adzalandira malipiro a zimene manja awo anachita.
Maye kwababi! Incithakalo isiphezu kwabo! Bazaphindiselwa ngalokho izandla zabo ezikwenzileyo.
12 Achinyamata akupondereza anthu anga, ndipo amene akuwalamulira ndi akazi. Aa, anthu anga, atsogoleri anu akukusocheretsani; akukuchotsani pa njira yanu.
Abatsha bancindezela abantu bami, abesifazane bayababusa. Awu, bantu bami, abakhokheli benu bayaliduhisa; bayaliphambula endleleni.
13 Yehova wakhala pamalo pake mʼbwalo la milandu; wakonzeka kuti aweruze anthu ake.
UThixo uphakama ukuba afakaze indaba yakhe, uyasukuma ukuba ahlulele abantu.
14 Yehova akuwazenga milandu akuluakulu ndi atsogoleri a anthu ake: “Ndinu amene mwawononga munda wanga wa mpesa; nyumba zanu zadzaza ndi zolanda kwa amphawi.
UThixo uqalisa ukwahlulela abadala labakhokheli babantu esithi, “Yini elitshabalalise isivini sami; elikuthumbe kubayanga kusezindlini zenu.
15 Nʼchifukwa chiyani inu mukupsinja anthu anga, nʼkudyera masuku pamutu amphawi?” Akutero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
Litshoni ngokuchoboza abantu bami langokuchola ubuso babayanga?” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla.
16 Yehova akunena kuti, “Akazi a ku Ziyoni ngodzikuza kwambiri, akuyenda atakweza makosi awo, akukopa amuna ndi maso awo akuyenda monyangʼama akuliza zigwinjiri za mʼmiyendo yawo
UThixo uthi, “Abesifazane baseZiyoni bayaziphakamisa, bahamba belule izintamo, behuga ngamehlo abo, begwenxeka ngamanyathelo amancane, izigqizo zikhencezela enqagaleni zabo.
17 Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye, adzatulutsa zipere pa mitu ya akazi a ku Ziyoniwo; Yehova adzachititsa dazi mitu yawo.”
Ngakho-ke uThixo uzakwenza amakhanda abesifazane baseZiyoni abe lezilonda; uThixo uzakwenza isikhumba samakhanda abo siphuceke.”
18 Tsiku limenelo Ambuye adzawachotsera zodzikongoletsera zawo: za mʼmiyendo, za ku mutu za mʼkhosi,
Ngalolosuku uThixo uzahluthuna imiceciso yabo: amasongo, imincwazi, lemigaxo yentanyeni
19 ndolo ndi zibangiri, nsalu zophimba pa nkhope,
amacici, izigqizo lezimbombozo,
20 maduku, zigwinjiri za mʼmiyendo ndi malamba, mabotolo a zonunkhira ndi zithumwa,
amaqhiye, izigetsho lamabhanti; amambodlela amakha lezintebe,
21 mphete ndi zipini,
indandatho ezilophawu lamasongo empumulo,
22 zovala za pa mphwando, zipewa ndi mwinjiro, zikwama,
izembatho ezinhle lezingubo lezigqoko, izikhwama
23 magalasi oyangʼanira, zovala zosalala, nduwira ndiponso nsalu za mʼmapewa.
lezibuko, lezigqoko zelineni, imiqhele lamaveli.
24 Mʼmalo mwa kununkhira azidzanunkha, mʼmalo mwa lamba, adzavala chingwe; mʼmalo mwa tsitsi lopesa bwino, adzakhala ndi dazi; mʼmalo mwa zovala zabwino, adzavala chiguduli; mʼmalo mwa kunyadira kukongola adzachita manyazi.
Endaweni yephunga elimnandi kuzakuba lomnuko omubi; endaweni yebhanti kuzakuba legoda, endaweni yenwele ezilungiswe kuhle kuzakuba lempabanga, endaweni yezigqoko ezinhle kuzakuba ngamasaka, endaweni yobuhle, kuzakuba lihlazo.
25 Iwe Yerusalemu anthu ako aamuna adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, asilikali ako adzafera ku nkhondo.
Amadoda akini azakuwa ngenkemba, kanjalo lamabutho akini empini.
26 Pa zipata za Ziyoni padzakhala kubuma ndi kulira; Iweyo udzasakazidwa nʼkukhala pansi, ukugubuduzika pa fumbi.
Amasango aseZiyoni azakhala alile, kuthi yona ihlale phansi ichithekile.
