Yesaya 33
1 Tsoka kwa iwe, iwe wowonongawe, amene sunawonongedwepo! Tsoka kwa iwe, iwe mthirakuwiri, iwe amene sunanyengedwepo! Iwe ukadzaleka kuwononga, udzawonongedwa, ukadzasiya umʼthirakuwiri, adzakuwononga, ndipo ukadzaleka kuchita zachinyengo adzakunyenga.
Maye kuwe ochithayo, kodwa ungachithwanga! Lowenza ngenkohliso, bengenzanga ngenkohliso kuwe! Lapho usuqedile ukuchitha, uzachithwa; lapho usucinile ukwenza ngenkohliso, bazakwenza ngenkohliso kuwe.
2 Inu Yehova, mutikomere mtima ife; tikulakalaka Inu. Tsiku ndi tsiku mutitchinjirize ndi mkono wanu, ndipo mutipulumutse pa nthawi ya masautso.
Nkosi, woba lomusa kithi, sikulindele; woba yingalo yabo ekuseni konke, losindiso lwethu ngesikhathi socindezelo.
3 Mukatulutsa liwu lanu longa bingu mitundu ya anthu imathawa; pamene Inu mwadzambatuka mitundu ya anthu imabalalika.
Emsindweni wokuhlokoma abantu babaleka; ekuziphakamiseni kwakho izizwe zahlakazeka.
4 Zofunkha za ku nkhondo za mitundu ina Aisraeli adzazisonkhanitsa ngati mmene limachitira dzombe. Iwo adzalumphira zofunkhazo monga mmene limachitira dzombe.
Lempango yenu izabuthwa njengokubutha kwecimbi, njengokugijima kwentethe uzagijima phezu kwayo.
5 Yehova wakwezeka kwambiri pakuti amakhala pamwamba pa zonse adzadzaza Ziyoni ndi chilungamo ndi chipulumutso.
INkosi iphakeme, ngoba ihlala phezulu; igcwalise iZiyoni ngesahlulelo langokulunga.
6 Iye adzakupatsani mtendere pa nthawi yanu, adzakupatsani chipulumutso chochuluka, nzeru zambiri ndi chidziwitso chochuluka; kuopa Yehova ngati madalitso.
Lenhlakanipho lolwazi kuzakuba yikuqina kwezikhathi zakho, amandla ezinsindiso; ukwesaba iNkosi kuligugu lakhe.
7 Taonani, anthu awo amphamvu akulira mofuwula mʼmisewu; akazembe okhazikitsa mtendere akulira kwambiri.
Khangela, amaqhawe abo azakhala ngaphandle; izithunywa zokuthula zizakhala inyembezi kabuhlungu.
8 Mʼmisewu yayikulu mulibe anthu, mʼmisewu mulibe anthu a paulendo. Mdaniyo ndi wosasunga pangano. Iye amanyoza mboni. Palibe kulemekezana.
Imigwaqo emikhulu ize, owedlula ngendlela kakho; wephule isivumelwano, udelele imizi, kananzi muntu.
9 Dziko likulira ndipo likunka likutha. Nkhalango ya Lebanoni ikuchita manyazi, yafota. Chigwa cha chonde cha Saroni chasanduka chachidalala. Masamba a mitengo ya ku Basani ndi Karimeli akuyoyoka.
Ilizwe liyalila lidangele; iLebhanoni ilenhloni iyabuna; iSharoni injengenkangala; njalo iBashani leKharmeli kuyakhithiza.
10 Yehova akunena kuti, “Tsopano ndidzadzambatuka ndipo ndidzaonetsa mphamvu zanga, ndipo ndidzakwezedwa.
Khathesi ngizavuka, kutsho iNkosi; khathesi ngizadunyiswa; khathesi ngizaphakanyiswa.
11 Zolingalira zanu nʼzachabechabe ngati udzu wamanyowa. Mpweya wamoto udzakupserezani.
Lizakhulelwa ngamakhoba, beselizala izibi; umoya wenu, njengomlilo, uzaliqeda.
12 Anthu a mitundu ina adzatenthedwa ngati miyala ya njereza; ndi ngati minga yodulidwa.”
Njalo abantu bazakuba njengokutshisiweyo kwekalaga; njengameva aqunyiweyo bazatshiswa emlilweni.
13 Inu amene muli kutali, imvani zimene ndachita; inu amene muli pafupi, dziwani mphamvu zanga
Zwanini, lina elikhatshana, engikwenzileyo; lani eliseduze, vumani amandla ami.
14 Mu mzinda wa Ziyoni anthu ochimwa agwidwa ndi mantha; anthu osapembedza Mulungu akunjenjemera: Iwo akunena kuti, “Ndani wa ife angathe kukhala mʼmoto wonyeketsa? Ndani wa ife angathe kukhala moto wosatha?”
Izoni zeZiyoni ziyesaba, ukuthuthumela kubabambile abazenzisi. Ngubani phakathi kwethu ongahlala lomlilo oqothulayo? Ngubani phakathi kwethu ongahlala lokutshisa okuphakade?
15 Angathe kuti ndi amene amachita zolungama ndi kuyankhula zoona, amene amakana phindu lolipeza monyenga ndipo salola manja ake kulandira ziphuphu, amene amatseka makutu ake kuti angamve mawu opangana kupha anzawo ndipo amatsinzina kuti angaone zoyipa.
Yena ohamba ngokulunga, akhulume ngobuqotho, odelela inzuzo yezincindezelo, othintitha izandla zakhe ekubambeni isivalamlomo, ovala indlebe yakhe ekuzweni ngamacala legazi, ocimeza amehlo akhe ukuze angaboni okubi;
16 Munthu wotere ndiye adzakhale pa nsanja, kothawira kwake kudzakhala mʼmalinga a mʼmapiri. Azidzalandira chakudya chake ndipo madzi sadzamusowa.
yena uzahlala ezindaweni eziphakemeyo; izinqaba zamadwala zibe yisivikelo sakhe; isinkwa sakhe asinikwe; amanzi akhe athembeke.
17 Nthawi imeneyo maso a ana adzaona mfumu ya maonekedwe wokongola ndi kuona dziko lotambasukira kutali.
Amehlo akho azabona iNkosi ebuhleni bayo; abone ilizwe elikhatshana kakhulu.
18 Mu mtima mwanu muzidzalingalira zoopsa zinachitika kale zija: “Ali kuti mkulu wa Asilikali uja? Ali kuti wokhometsa misonkho uja? Ali kuti mkulu woyangʼanira nsanja?”
Inhliziyo yakho izazindla ukwesabisa. Ungaphi umbhali? Ungaphi umlinganisi? Ungaphi obala imiphotshongo?
19 Simudzawaonanso anthu odzikuza aja, anthu aja achiyankhulo chosadziwika, chachilendo ndi chosamveka.
Kawuyikubona abantu abayiziqholo, abantu abenkulumo ejule okokuthi ungeyizwisise, abolimi olugagasayo ongeluqedisise.
20 Taonani Ziyoni, mzinda wa zikondwerero zachipembedzo chathu; maso anu adzaona Yerusalemu, mzinda wamtendere, tenti imene sidzachotsedwa, zikhomo zake sizidzazulidwa, kapena zingwe zake kuduka.
Khangela iZiyoni, umuzi wemikhosi yethu emisiweyo; amehlo akho azabona iJerusalema, indawo yokuhlala elokonwaba, ithente elingayikusuka, ozikhonkwane zalo ezizasitshulwa phakade, kakuyikuqamuka leyodwa yezintambo zalo.
21 Kumeneko Yehova adzaonetsa ulemerero wake ndipo mzindawo udzakhala kasupe wa mitsinje yayikulu. Ngalawa za zopalasa sizidzapitamo, sitima zapamadzi zikuluzikulu sizidzayendamo.
Kodwa lapho iNkosi izakuba ngelobukhosi kithi, indawo yemifula, yezifula ezibanzi; umkolo olamaphini okugwedla ongahambi khona, lomkhumbi olamandla ongedluli khona.
22 Pakuti Yehova ndi woweruza wathu, Yehova ndiye wotilamulira, Yehova ndiye mfumu yathu; ndipo ndiye amene adzatipulumutse.
Ngoba uJehova ungumahluleli wethu, uJehova ungumnikumthetho wethu, uJehova uyinkosi yethu, yena uzasisindisa.
23 Zingwe za sitima zapamadzi za adani athu zamasuka, sizikutha kulimbitsa mlongoti wake, matanga ake sakutheka kutambasuka. Ngakhale tidzagawana zofunkha zochuluka kwambiri ndipo ngakhale olumala adzatenga zofunkhazo.
Ingoda zakho ziyaxega; kaziyikuqinisa iqonde insika yazo yomkolo, zingeyelule iseyili; khona kuzakwabiwa impango yempango enengi, abaqhulayo baphange impango.
24 Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe wokhala mʼZiyoni adzanene kuti, “Ndikudwala” ndipo anthu onse okhala mʼmenemo machimo awo adzakhululukidwa.
Lomhlali kayikuthi: Ngiyagula. Abantu abahlala kuyo bazathethelelwa iziphambeko.
