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, all of you nations, to hear; and hearken, all of you people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come out 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 is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter.
3 Anthu awo ophedwa adzatayidwa kunja, mitembo yawo idzawola ndi kununkha; mapiri adzafiira ndi magazi awo.
Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses, and 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 heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling fig 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 shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to 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 fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
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 come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 Iyi ndi nthawi imene Yehova adzalipsira ndi kulanga adani a Ziyoni.
For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
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 dust 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.
It shall not be quenched night nor day; 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.
But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12 Anthu olemekezeka ake sadzatchedwanso mfumu kumeneko; akalonga ake onse adzachotsedwa.
They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 Minga idzamera mʼnyumba zake zankhondo zotetezedwa, khwisa ndi mitungwi zidzamera mʼmalinga ake. Ankhandwe azidzadya mʼmenemo; malo okhalamo akadzidzi.
And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
14 Avumbwe adzakumana ndi afisi, ndipo zirombo za mʼchipululu zizidzayitanizana. Kumeneko kudzafikanso mizimu yoyipa ndi kupeza malo opumulirako.
The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
15 Kadzidzi adzamangako chisa chake nʼkuyikirako mazira, adzaswa ana ake ndi kusamalira ana ake mu mthunzi wa mapiko ake; akamtema adzasonkhananso kumeneko, awiriawiri.
There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
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.
Seek all of you out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall lack her mate: for my mouth it has commanded, and his spirit it has gathered them.
17 Yehova wagawa dziko lawo; wapatsa chilichonse chigawo chake. Dziko lidzakhala lawo mpaka muyaya ndipo zidzakhala mʼmenemo pa mibado yonse.
And he has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
