Yesaya 49
1 Mverani Ine, inu anthu a pa zilumba tcherani khutu, inu anthu a mayiko akutali: Yehova anandiyitana ine ndisanabadwe, ananditchula dzina ndili mʼmimba ya amayi anga.
Listen O islands to me and pay attention O peoples from a distance Yahweh from [the] womb he called me from [the] inward parts of mother my he has brought to remembrance name my.
2 Iye anasandutsa pakamwa panga kukhala ngati lupanga lakuthwa, anandibisa mu mthunzi wa dzanja lake; Iye anandisandutsa ngati muvi wakuthwa ndipo anandibisa mʼchimake.
And he made mouth my like a sword sharp in [the] shadow of hand his he hid me and he made me an arrow polished in quiver his he concealed me.
3 Iye anati kwa ine, “Ndiwe mtumiki wanga, Israeli. Anthu adzanditamanda chifukwa cha iwe.”
And he said to me [are] servant my you Israel whom by you I will get glory for myself.
4 Koma Ine ndinati, “Ine ndinkaganiza kuti ndinagwira ntchito ndi kuwononga mphamvu zanga pachabe, koma ayi, zondiyenera zili mʼmanja a Yehova, ndipo mphotho yanga ili mʼmanja mwa Mulungu wanga.”
And I I said to emptiness I have labored to nothingness and futility strength my I have caused to fail nevertheless justice my [is] with Yahweh and recompense my [is] with God my.
5 Yehova anandiwumba ine mʼmimba mwa amayi anga kuti ndikhale mtumiki wake kuti ndibweze fuko la Yakobo kwa Iye ndi kusonkhanitsa Israeli kwa Iye, choncho ndimalemekezeka mʼmaso mwa Yehova, ndipo ndimapeza mphamvu mwa Mulungu wanga.
And now - he says Yahweh [who] formed me from [the] womb a servant of him to bring back Jacob to him and Israel (to him *Q(K)*) it will be gathered and I may be honored in [the] eyes of Yahweh and God my he has been strength my.
6 Yehovayo tsono akuti, “Nʼchinthu chochepa kwambiri kwa iwe kuti ukhale mtumiki wanga, kuti udzutse mafuko a Yakobo ndi kuwabweretsa kwawo Aisraeli amene anapulumuka. Choncho iwe udzakhala ngati chowunikira, udzafikitsa uthenga wa chipulumutso changa ku mathero a dziko lapansi.”
And he said it is [too] trifling for being you of me servant to raise up [the] tribes of Jacob (and [the] preserved [ones] of *Q(K)*) Israel to bring back and I will make you a light of [the] nations to be salvation my to [the] end of the earth.
7 Yehova Mpulumutsi ndi Woyerayo wa Israeli akuyankhula, Woyerayo wa Israeli akunena, amene mitundu ya anthu inamuda, amenenso anali kapolo wa mafumu ankhanza uja kuti, “Mafumu adzaona ntchito ya chipulumutso changa ndipo adzayimirira. Akalonga nawonso adzagwada pansi. Zimenezi zidzachitika chifukwa cha Yehova amene ndi wokhulupirika ndi Woyerayo wa Israeli amene wakusankha iwe.”
Thus he says Yahweh [the] redeemer of Israel holy [one] its to despise life to [one who] abhors a nation to a servant of rulers kings they will see and they will stand up princes so they may bow down on account of Yahweh who [is] faithful [the] holy [one] of Israel and he has chosen you.
8 Yehova akuti, “Pa nthawi imene ndinakukomera mtima ndinakuyankha, ndipo pa tsiku lachipulumutso ndinakuthandiza; ndinakusunga ndi kukusandutsa kuti ukhale pangano kwa anthu, kuti dziko libwerere mwakale ndi kuti cholowa changa chowonongeka chija ndichigawegawenso.
Thus - he says Yahweh in a time of favor I will answer you and on a day of salvation I will help you and I will watch over you and I will make you a covenant of [the] people to raise up [the] land to give as inheritance inheritances desolate.
9 Ndidzawuza a mʼndende kuti atuluke ndi a mu mdima kuti aonekere poyera. “Adzapeza chakudya mʼmphepete mwa njira ndi msipu pa mʼmalo owuma.
To say to [the] prisoners come out to [those] who [are] in darkness reveal yourselves on roads they will graze and [will be] on all bare heights pasture their.
10 Iwo sadzamva njala kapena ludzu, kutentha kwa mʼchipululu kapena dzuwa silidzawapsereza; chifukwa Iye amene amawachitira chifundo adzawatsogolera ndi kuwaperekeza ku akasupe a madzi.
Not they will be hungry and not they will be thirsty and not it will strike them burning heat and sun for [one who] has compassion on them he will guide them and to springs of water he will lead them.
11 Mapiri anga onse ndidzawasandutsa njira yoyendamo, ndipo misewu yanga yayikulu ndidzayikweza.
And I will make all mountains my into road and highways my they will be lifted up!
12 Taonani, anthu anga adzachokera kutali, ena kumpoto, ena kumadzulo, enanso adzachokera ku chigawo cha Asuwani.”
Here! these from a distance they will come and here! these from [the] north and from [the] west and these from [the] land of Sinim.
13 Imbani mwachimwemwe, inu zolengedwa zamlengalenga; kondwera, iwe dziko lapansi; imbani nyimbo inu mapiri! Pakuti Yehova watonthoza mtima anthu ake, ndipo wachitira chifundo anthu ake ovutika.
Shout for joy O heaven and be glad O earth (and break forth *Q(K)*) O mountains a shout of joy for he has comforted Yahweh people his and afflicted [people] his he has compassion on.
14 Koma Ziyoni anati, “Yehova wandisiya, Ambuye wandiyiwala.”
And it said Zion he has forsaken me Yahweh and [the] Lord he has forgotten me.
15 “Kodi amayi angathe kuyiwala mwana wawo wakubere ndi kusachitira chifundo mwana amene anabereka iwo eni? Ngakhale iye angathe kuyiwala, Ine sindidzakuyiwala iwe!
¿ Will she forget a woman sucking child her from having compassion on [the] child of womb her also these they will forget and I not I will forget you.
16 Taona, ndakulemba iwe mʼzikhantho zanga; makoma ako ndimawaona nthawi zonse.
Here! on palms of hands I have inscribed you walls your [are] before me continually.
17 Amisiri odzakumanganso akubwerera mofulumira, ndipo amene anakupasula akuchokapo.
They have made haste children your [those who] tear down you and [those who] make desolate you from you they will go out.
18 Kweza maso ako ndipo uyangʼaneyangʼane ana ako onse akusonkhana ndipo akubwera kwa iwe. Yehova akuti, ‘Ine Yehova wamoyo, anthu ako adzakhala ngati chinthu chodzikongoletsa chimene mkwatibwi wavala pa mkono pake.’
Lift up all around eyes your and see all of them they have gathered together they have come to you [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh that all of them like ornament[s] you will put on and you will tie on them like bride.
19 “Ngakhale unasanduka bwinja ndi kuwonongedwa ndipo dziko lako ndi kusakazidwa, chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa anthu malo okhalamo adzakhala operewera ndipo amene anakuwononga iwe aja adzakhala kutali.
For waste places your and desolate [places] your and [the] land of destruction your for now you will be [too] cramped for [the] inhabitant[s] and they will be far away [those who] swallowed up you.
20 Ana obadwa nthawi yako yachisoni adzanena kuti, ‘Malo ano atichepera, tipatse malo ena woti tikhalemo.’
Yet they will say in ears your [the] children of bereavement your it is cramped for me the place draw near! for me so let me dwell.
21 Tsono iwe udzadzifunsa kuti, ‘Kodi ndani anandiberekera ana amenewa? Ana anga onse anamwalira ndipo sindinathenso kukhala ndi ana ena; ndinapita ku ukapolo ndipo ndinachotsedwa. Ndani anawalera ana amenewa? Ndinatsala ndekha, nanga awa, achokera kuti?’”
And you will say in heart your who? did he father for me these [children] and I [was] bereaved and barren gone into exile - and thrust away and these [children] who? did he bring up here! I I remained to alone me these [children] where? [are] they.
22 Zimene Ambuye Yehova akunena ndi izi, “Taonani, Ine ndidzakodola Anthu a mitundu ina kuti abwere. Ndidzawakwezera anthu a mitundu ina mbendera yanga kuti abwere. Tsono adzabwera ndi ana ako aamuna atawanyamula mʼmanja mwawo ndipo adzanyamula ana ako aakazi pa mapewa awo.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I will lift up to [the] nations hand my and to peoples I will raise standard my and they will bring sons your in a bosom and daughters your on a shoulder they will be carried.
23 Mafumu adzakhala abambo wongokulera ndipo akazi a mafumu adzakhala amayi wongokulera. Iwo adzagwetsa nkhope zawo pansi. Ndiye inu mudzazindikira kuti Ine ndine Yehova; iwo amene amadalira Ine sadzakhumudwa.”
And they will be kings foster-fathers your and princesses their suckling-nurses your faces ground they will bow down to you and [the] dust of feet your they will lick up and you will know that I [am] Yahweh whom not they will be ashamed [those who] wait for me.
24 Kodi mungathe kulanda anthu ankhondo zofunkha zawo, kapena kupulumutsa anthu ogwidwa mʼdzanja la munthu wankhanza?
¿ Will it be taken from a warrior booty and or? [the] captive[s] of [the] righteous will it escape.
25 Koma zimene Yehova akunena ndi izi, “Ankhondo adzawalanda amʼndende awo, ndipo munthu woopsa adzamulanda zofunkha zawo; ndidzalimbana ndi amene amalimbana nanu, ndipo ndidzapulumutsa ana anu.
For thus - he says Yahweh also a captive of a warrior he will be taken and [the] booty of a ruthless [person] it will be delivered and opponent your I I will oppose and children your I I will save.
26 Anthu amene anakuponderezani adzadya mnofu wawo omwe; adzamwa magazi awo omwe ngati aledzera ndi vinyo. Zikadzatero anthu onse adzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova, ndine Mpulumutsi wanu, Momboli wanu, Wamphamvu wa Yakobo.”
And I will cause to eat [those who] maltreat you own flesh their and like sweet wine own blood their they will become drunk! and they will know all flesh that I [am] Yahweh deliverer your and redeemer your [the] mighty one of Jacob.
