Yesaya 30
1 Yehova akuti, “Tsoka kwa ana ondipandukira amene amachita zowakomera iwo okha osati Ine, nachita mgwirizano wawowawo koma osati motsogozedwa ndi Ine. Choncho amanka nachimwirachimwira.
“Woe to the rebellious children,” this is Yahweh's declaration. “They make plans, but not from me; they make alliances with other nations, but they were not directed by my Spirit, so they add sin to sin.
2 Amapita ku Igupto kukapempha thandizo koma osandifunsa; amathawira kwa Farao kuti awateteze, ku Igupto amafuna malo opulumulira.
They set out to go down into Egypt, but have not asked for my direction. They seek protection from Pharaoh and take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.
3 Koma chitetezo cha Farao chidzakhala manyazi anu, malo a mthunzi a ku Igupto mudzachita nawo manyazi.
Therefore Pharaoh's protection will be your shame, and the refuge in Egypt's shade, your humiliation,
4 Ngakhale kuti nduna zawo zili ku Zowani, ndipo akazembe awo afika kale ku Hanesi,
although their princes are at Zoan, and their messengers have come to Hanes.
5 aliyense wa ku Yuda adzachita manyazi chifukwa cha anthu opanda nawo phindu, amene sabweretsa thandizo kapena phindu, koma manyazi ndi mnyozo.”
They will all be ashamed because of a people who cannot help them, who are neither help nor aid, but a shame, and even a disgrace.”
6 Uthenga wonena za nyama za ku Negevi: Akazembe akuyenda mʼdziko lovuta ndi losautsa, mʼmene muli mikango yayimuna ndi yayikazi, mphiri ndi njoka zaululu. Iwo amasenzetsa abulu ndi ngamira chuma chawo, kupita nazo kwa mtundu wa anthu umene sungawathandize.
A declaration about the beasts of the Negev: Through the land of trouble and danger, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys, and their treasures on the camels' humps, to a people who cannot help them.
7 Amapita ku Igupto amene thandizo lake ndi lachabechabe. Nʼchifukwa chake dzikolo ndalitcha Rahabe chirombo cholobodoka.
For Egypt's help is worthless; therefore I have called her Rahab, who sits still.
8 Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Tsopano pita, ukalembe zimenezi mʼbuku iwo akuona ndipo lidzakhala ngati umboni wosatha masiku a mʼtsogolo.
Now go, write it in their presence on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be preserved for the time to come as a testimony.
9 Amenewa ndi anthu owukira, onama ndi osafuna kumvera malangizo a Yehova.
For these are a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the instruction of Yahweh.
10 Iwo amawuza alosi kuti, ‘Musationerenso masomphenya!’ Ndipo amanena kwa mneneri kuti, ‘Musatinenerenso zoona,’ mutiwuze zotikomera, munenere za mʼmutu mwanu.
They say to the seers, “Do not see;” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy the truth to us; speak flattering words to us, prophesy illusions.
11 Patukani pa njira ya Yehova, lekani kutsata njira ya Yehova; ndipo tisamvenso mawu a Woyerayo uja wa Israeli!”
Turn aside from the way, stray off the path; cause the Holy One of Israel to cease speaking before our face.”
12 Nʼchifukwa chake Woyerayo wa Israeli akunena kuti, “Popeza inu mwakana uthenga uwu, mumakhulupirira zopondereza anzanu ndipo mumadalira kuchita zoyipa,
Therefore the Holy One of Israel says, “Because you reject this word and trust in oppression and deceit and lean on it,
13 choncho tchimo linalo lidzakhala ngati mingʼalu pa khoma lalitali ndi lopendama limene linagwa mwadzidzidzi ndi mwamsangamsanga.
so this sin will be to you like a broken part ready to fall, like a bulge in a high wall whose fall will happen suddenly, in an instant.”
14 Lidzaphwanyika ngati mbiya imene yanyenyekeratu, mwakuti pakati pake sipadzapezeka phale ngakhale lopalira moto mʼngʼanjo kapena lotungira madzi mʼchitsime.”
He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken; he will not spare it, so that there will not be found among its pieces a shard with which to scrape fire from the hearth, or to scoop up water out of the cistern.
15 Zimene Ambuye Yehova, Woyerayo wa Israeli ananena ndi izi: “Ngati mubwerera ndi kupuma mudzapulumuka, ngati mukhala chete ndi kukhulupirira mudzakhala amphamvu, koma inu munakana zimenezi.
For this is what the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel says, “In returning and resting you will be saved; in quietness and in trust will be your strength. But you were not willing.
16 Inu mukuti, ‘Ayi ife tidzathawa, tidzakwera pa akavalo aliwiro.’ Zoonadi kuti mudzakwera pa akavalo aliwiro, koma okuthamangitsani adzakhalanso aliwiro.
You said, 'No, for we will flee on horses,' so you will flee; and, 'We will ride upon swift horses,' so those who pursue you will be swift.
17 Anthu 1,000 mwa inu adzathawa poona mdani mmodzi; poona adani asanu okha nonsenu mudzathawa. Otsala anu adzakhala ngati mbendera pa phiri, ndi ngati chizindikiro cha pa chulu.”
One thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will flee until your remnant will be like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain, or like a flag on a hill.”
18 Komatu Yehova akufunitsitsa kuti akukomereni mtima, iye ali wokonzeka kuti akuchitireni chifundo. Pakuti Yehova ndi Mulungu wachilungamo. Ndi odala onse amene amakhulupirira Iye!
Yet Yahweh is waiting to be gracious to you, therefore he is ready to show you mercy. For Yahweh is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.
19 Inu anthu a ku Ziyoni, amene mukhala mu Yerusalemu simudzaliranso. Mulungu adzakukomerani mtima pamene adzamva kulira kwanu kopempha thandizo! Ndipo akadzamva, adzakuyankhani.
For a people will live in Zion, in Jerusalem, and you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When he hears it, he will answer you.
20 Ngakhale Ambuye adzakulowetseni mʼmasautso, aphunzitsi anu sadzakhala kakasi; inu mudzawaona ndi maso anuwo.
Though Yahweh gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, even so, your teacher will not hide himself anymore, but you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
21 Ngati mudzapatukira kumanja kapena kumanzere, mudzamva mawu kumbuyo kwanu woti, “Njira ndi iyi; yendani mʼmenemo.”
Your ears will hear a word behind you saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
22 Pamenepo mudzawononga mafano anu okutidwa ndi siliva ndiponso zifanizo zanu zokutidwa ndi golide; mudzawataya ngati zinthu zonyansa ndipo mudzati, “Zichoke zonsezi!”
You will desecrate your carved figures overlaid with silver and your gold cast figures. You will throw them away like a menstrual rag. You will say to them, “Get out of here.”
23 Yehova adzakugwetseraninso mvula pa mbewu zanu zimene mukadzale mʼnthaka, ndipo chakudya chimene mudzakolole chidzakhala chabwino ndi chochuluka. Tsiku limenelo ngʼombe zanu zidzadya msipu wochuluka.
He will give the rain for your seed when you sow the ground, and bread with abundance from the ground, and the crops will be abundant. In that day your cattle will graze in broad pastures.
24 Ngʼombe ndi abulu amene amalima mʼmunda adzadya chakudya chamchere, chopetedwa ndi foloko ndi fosholo.
The oxen and the donkeys, who plow the ground, will eat seasoned feed that has been winnowed with a shovel and a fork.
25 Pa tsiku limene adani anu adzaphedwa ndi nsanja zawo kugwa, mitsinje ya madzi idzayenda pa phiri lililonse lalikulu ndi pa phiri lililonse lalingʼono.
On every high mountain and on every high hill, there will be flowing brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter when the towers fall.
26 Mwezi udzawala ngati dzuwa, ndipo kuwala kwa dzuwa kudzawonjezereka kasanu nʼkawiri, ngati kuwala kwa tsiku limodzi. Yehova adzamanga mabala a anthu ake ndi kupoletsa zilonda zimene Iye anachititsa polanga anthu ake.
The light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the sunlight of seven days. Yahweh will bind up the breaking of his people and heal the bruises of his wounding them.
27 Taonani, Yehova akubwera kuchokera kutali, ndipo mkwiyo wake ndiwonyeka ndi chiweruzo chake chidzakhala chopweteka. Iye wayankhula mwaukali kwambiri, ndipo mawu ake ali ngati moto wonyeka.
Look, the name of Yahweh comes from a distant place, burning with his anger and in dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
28 Mpweya wake uli ngati mtsinje wosefukira, wa madzi ofika mʼkhosi. Iye adzasefa anthu a mitundu ina ndi sefa wosakaza; Iye akuyika zitsulo mʼkamwa mwa anthu a mitundu ina ngati akavalo, kuti ziwasocheretse.
His breath is like an overflowing torrent that reaches up to the middle of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. His breath is a bridle in the jaws of the peoples to cause them to wander away.
29 Ndipo inu mudzayimba mokondwa monga mumachitira usiku pa chikondwerero chopatulika. Mudzasangalala ngati anthu oyimba zitoliro popita ku phiri la Yehova, thanthwe la Israeli.
You will have a song as in the night when a holy feast is observed, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to the mountain of Yahweh, to the Rock of Israel.
30 Anthu adzamva liwu la ulemerero la Yehova ndipo adzaona dzanja lake likutsika pa iwo ndi mkwiyo woopsa, pamodzi ndi moto wonyeketsa, mphenzi, namondwe ndi matalala.
Yahweh will make the splendor of his voice heard and show the motion of his arm in storming anger and flames of fire, with windstorm, rainstorm, and hailstones.
31 Asiriya adzaopa liwu la Yehova, ndipo Iye adzawakantha ndi ndodo.
For at the voice of Yahweh, Assyria will be shattered; he will strike them with a staff.
32 Yehova akamadzalanga adani ake ndi ndodo, anthu ake adzakhala akuvina nyimbo zoyimbira matambolini ndi azeze, Yehova ndiye ati adzamenyane ndi Asiriyawo.
Every stroke of the appointed rod that Yahweh will lay on them will be accompanied with the music of tambourines and harps as he battles and fights with them.
33 Malo otenthera zinthu akonzedwa kale; anakonzera mfumu ya ku Asiriya. Dzenje la motolo ndi lozama ndi lalikulu, ndipo muli nkhuni zambiri; mpweya wa Yehova, wangati mtsinje wa sulufule, udzayatsa motowo pa nkhunizo.
For a place of burning was prepared long ago. Indeed, it is prepared for the king, and God has made it deep and wide. The pile is ready with a fire and much wood. The breath of Yahweh, like a stream of brimstone, will set it on fire.
