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.
Ilis, here ye, and puplis afer, perseyue ye; the Lord clepide me fro the wombe, he thouyte on my name fro the wombe of my modir.
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 hath set my mouth as a scharp swerd, he defendide me in the schadewe of his hond, and settide me as a chosun arowe; he hidde me in his arowe caas,
3 Iye anati kwa ine, “Ndiwe mtumiki wanga, Israeli. Anthu adzanditamanda chifukwa cha iwe.”
and seide to me, Israel, thou art my seruaunt, for Y schal haue glorie in thee.
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 Y seide, Y trauelide in veyn, Y wastide my strengthe with out cause, and veynli; therfor my doom is with the Lord, and my werk is with my God.
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 the Lord, formynge me a seruaunt to hym silf fro the wombe, seith these thingis, that Y brynge ayen Jacob to hym. And Israel schal not be gaderid togidere; and Y am glorified in the iyen of the Lord, and my God is maad my strengthe.
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 seyde, It is litil, that thou be a seruaunt to me, to reise the lynages of Jacob, and to conuerte the drastis of Israel; Y yaf thee in to the liyt of hethene men, that thou be myn helthe `til to the laste part of erthe.
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.”
The Lord, ayenbiere of Israel, the hooli therof, seith these thingis to a dispisable soule, and to a folk had in abhomynacioun, to the seruaunt of lordis, Kyngis schulen se, and princes schulen rise togidere, and schulen worschipe, for the Lord, for he is feithful, and for the hooli of Israel, that chees thee.
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.
The Lord seith these thingis, In a plesaunt tyme Y herde thee, and in the dai of helthe Y helpide thee; and Y kepte thee, and yaf thee in to a bonde of pees of the puple, that thou schuldist reise the erthe, and haue in possessioun eritagis, `that ben distried;
9 Ndidzawuza a mʼndende kuti atuluke ndi a mu mdima kuti aonekere poyera. “Adzapeza chakudya mʼmphepete mwa njira ndi msipu pa mʼmalo owuma.
that thou schuldist seie to hem that ben boundun, Go ye out, and to hem that ben in derknessis, Be ye schewid. Thei schulen be fed on weies, and the lesewis of hem schulen be in alle pleyn thingis.
10 Iwo sadzamva njala kapena ludzu, kutentha kwa mʼchipululu kapena dzuwa silidzawapsereza; chifukwa Iye amene amawachitira chifundo adzawatsogolera ndi kuwaperekeza ku akasupe a madzi.
Thei schulen not hungre, and thei schulen no more thirste, and heete, and the sunne schal not smyte hem; for the merciful doere of hem schal gouerne hem, and schal yyue drynk to hem at the wellis of watris.
11 Mapiri anga onse ndidzawasandutsa njira yoyendamo, ndipo misewu yanga yayikulu ndidzayikweza.
And Y schal sette alle myn hillis in to weie, and my pathis schulen be enhaunsid.
12 Taonani, anthu anga adzachokera kutali, ena kumpoto, ena kumadzulo, enanso adzachokera ku chigawo cha Asuwani.”
Lo! these men schulen come fro fer, and lo! thei schulen come fro the north, and see, and these fro the south lond.
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.
Heuenes, herie ye, and, thou erthe, make ful out ioie; hillis, synge ye hertli heriyng; for the Lord coumfortide his puple, and schal haue merci on hise pore men.
14 Koma Ziyoni anati, “Yehova wandisiya, Ambuye wandiyiwala.”
And Syon seide, The Lord hath forsake me, and the Lord hath foryete me.
15 “Kodi amayi angathe kuyiwala mwana wawo wakubere ndi kusachitira chifundo mwana amene anabereka iwo eni? Ngakhale iye angathe kuyiwala, Ine sindidzakuyiwala iwe!
Whether a womman may foryete hir yonge child, that sche haue not merci on the sone of hir wombe? thouy sche foryetith, netheles Y schal not foryete thee.
16 Taona, ndakulemba iwe mʼzikhantho zanga; makoma ako ndimawaona nthawi zonse.
Lo! Y haue write thee in myn hondis; thi wallis ben euer bifore myn iyen.
17 Amisiri odzakumanganso akubwerera mofulumira, ndipo amene anakupasula akuchokapo.
The bilderis ben comun; thei that distrien thee, and scateren, schulen go awei fro thee.
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.’
Reise thin iyen in cumpas, and se; alle these men ben gaderid togidere, thei ben comun to thee. Y lyue, seith the Lord, for thou schalt be clothid with alle these as with an ournement, and thou as a spousesse schalt bynde hem to thee.
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 whi thi desertis, and thi wildirnessis, and the lond of thi fallyng now schulen be streit for enhabiteris; and thei schulen be dryuun awei fer, that swolewiden thee.
20 Ana obadwa nthawi yako yachisoni adzanena kuti, ‘Malo ano atichepera, tipatse malo ena woti tikhalemo.’
Yit the sones of thi bareynesse schulen seie in thin eeris, The place is streit to me, make thou a space to me for to dwelle.
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 thou schalt seie in thin herte, Who gendride these sones to me? Y am bareyn, not berynge child; Y am led ouer, and prisoner; and who nurschide these sones? Y am destitute, and aloone; and where weren these?
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.
The Lord God seith these thingis, Lo! Y reise myn hond to hethene men, and Y schal enhaunce my signe to puplis; and thei schulen brynge thi sones in armes, and thei schulen bere thi douytris on shuldris.
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 kingis shulen be thi nurseris, and quenys shulen be thi nursis; with cheer cast doun in to erthe thei schulen worschipe thee, and thei schulen licke the dust of thi feet; and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord, on whom thei schulen not be schent, that abiden hym.
24 Kodi mungathe kulanda anthu ankhondo zofunkha zawo, kapena kupulumutsa anthu ogwidwa mʼdzanja la munthu wankhanza?
Whether prey schal be takun awei fro a strong man? ether that that is takun of a stalworthe man, mai be saaf?
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 the Lord seith these thingis, Sotheli and caitifte schal be takun awey fro the stronge man, and that that is takun awei of a stalworthe man, schal be saued. Forsothe Y schal deme hem, that demyden thee, and Y schal saue thi sones.
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 Y schal fede thin enemyes with her fleischis, and thei schulen be greetli fillid with her blood as with must; and eche man schal wite, that Y am the Lord, sauynge thee, and thin ayenbiere, the strong of Jacob.
