Yesaya 34
1 Inu anthu a mitundu yonse, bwerani pafupi kuti mumve: tcherani khutu, inu anthu a mitundu ina yonse: Limvetsere dziko lapansi pamodzi ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo, dziko lonse pamodzi ndi zonse zochokera mʼmenemo!
Come near, ye Gentiles, and hear, and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein, the world, and every thing that cometh forth of it.
2 Yehova wayipidwa ndi anthu a mitundu yonse; wapsera mtima magulu awo onse ankhondo. Iye adzawawononga kotheratu, nawapereka kuti aphedwe.
For the indignation of the Lord if upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath killed them, and delivered them to slaughter.
3 Anthu awo ophedwa adzatayidwa kunja, mitembo yawo idzawola ndi kununkha; mapiri adzafiira ndi magazi awo.
Their slain shall be cast forth, and out of their carcasses shall rise a slink: the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 Dzuwa, mwezi ndi nyenyezi zidzasungunuka ndipo mlengalenga mudzakulungidwa ngati chipepala; nyenyezi zonse zidzayoyoka ngati masamba ofota a mphesa, ngati masamba onyala a mtengo wa mkuyu.
And all the host of the heavens shall pine away, and the heavens shall be folded together as a book: and all their host shall fall down as the leaf falleth from the vine, and from the fig tree.
5 Yehova akuti, “Lupanga langa lakhutiratu magazi kumwamba; taonani, likutsika kudzalanga anthu a ku Edomu, anthu amene ndawawononga kotheratu.”
For my sword is inebriated in heaven: behold it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter unto judgment.
6 Lupanga la Yehova lakhuta magazi, lakutidwa ndi mafuta; magazi a ana ankhosa onenepa ndi ambuzi, mafuta a ku impsyo za nkhosa zazimuna. Pakuti Yehova ali ndi nsembe mu Bozira ndiko kuphedwa kwa anthu ambiri mʼdziko la Edomu.
The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made thick with the blood of lambs and buck goats, with the blood of rams full of marrow: for there is a victim of the Lord in Bosra and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Pamodzi ndi anthuwo zidzaphedwanso njati, ngʼombe zazimuna zazingʼono ndi zazikulu zomwe. Dziko lawo lidzakhala magazi okhaokha, ndipo nthaka idzakutidwa ndi mafuta.
And the unicorns shall go down with them, and the bulls with the mighty: their land shall be soaked with blood, and their ground with the fat of fat ones.
8 Iyi ndi nthawi imene Yehova adzalipsira ndi kulanga adani a Ziyoni.
For it is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of recompenses of the judgment of Sion.
9 Madzi a mʼmitsinje ya Edomu adzasanduka phula, ndipo fumbi lake lidzasanduka sulufule; dziko lake lidzasanduka phula lamoto!
And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the ground thereof into brimstone: and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10 Motowo sudzazimitsidwa usiku ndi usana; utsi wake udzafuka kosalekeza. Dzikolo lidzakhala chipululu pa mibado ndi mibado; palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene adzadutsemo.
Night and day it shall not be quenched, the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste, none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 Mʼdzikomo mudzakhala akabawi ndi anungu; amantchichi ndi akhwangwala adzapanga zisa zawo mʼmenemo. Mulungu adzatambalitsa pa Edomu chingwe choyezera cha chisokonezo ndi chingwe chowongolera cha chiwonongeko.
The bittern and ericius shall possess it: and the ibis and the raven shall dwell in it: and a line shall be stretched out upon it, to bring it to nothing, and a plummet, unto desolation.
12 Anthu olemekezeka ake sadzatchedwanso mfumu kumeneko; akalonga ake onse adzachotsedwa.
The nobles thereof shall not be there: they shall call rather upon the king, and all the princes thereof shall be nothing.
13 Minga idzamera mʼnyumba zake zankhondo zotetezedwa, khwisa ndi mitungwi zidzamera mʼmalinga ake. Ankhandwe azidzadya mʼmenemo; malo okhalamo akadzidzi.
And thorns and nettles shall grow up in its houses, and the thistle in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be the habitation of dragons, and the pasture of ostriches.
14 Avumbwe adzakumana ndi afisi, ndipo zirombo za mʼchipululu zizidzayitanizana. Kumeneko kudzafikanso mizimu yoyipa ndi kupeza malo opumulirako.
And demons and monsters shall meet, and the hairy ones shall cry out one to another, there hath the lamia lain down, and found rest for herself.
15 Kadzidzi adzamangako chisa chake nʼkuyikirako mazira, adzaswa ana ake ndi kusamalira ana ake mu mthunzi wa mapiko ake; akamtema adzasonkhananso kumeneko, awiriawiri.
There hath the ericius had its hole, and brought up its young ones, and hath dug round about, and cherished them in the shadow thereof: thither are the kites gathered together one to another.
16 Funafunani mʼbuku la Yehova ndi kuwerenga: mwa zolengedwazi palibe chimene chidzasowa; sipadzakhala nʼchimodzi chomwe chopanda chinzake. Pakuti Yehova walamula kuti zitero, ndipo Mzimu wake udzawasonkhanitsa pamodzi.
Search ye diligently in the book of the Lord, and read: not one of them was wanting, one hath not sought for the other: for that which proceedeth out of my mouth, he hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17 Yehova wagawa dziko lawo; wapatsa chilichonse chigawo chake. Dziko lidzakhala lawo mpaka muyaya ndipo zidzakhala mʼmenemo pa mibado yonse.
And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it to them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation they shall dwell therein.
