< Yesaya 5 >
1 Ndidzamuyimbira bwenzi langa nyimbo yokamba za munda wake wa mpesa: Wokondedwa wanga anali ndi munda wamphesa pa phiri la nthaka yachonde.
Ngizahlabelela lowo engimthandayo ingoma ngesivini sakhe: Othandwa yimi wayelesivini eqaqeni oluvundileyo.
2 Anatipula nachotsa miyala yonse ndipo anawokamo mipesa yabwino kwambiri. Anamanga nsanja yolondera pakati pa mundawo ndipo anasemanso mopsinyira mphesa mʼmundamo. Ndipo iye anayembekezera kuti mundawo udzabala mphesa zabwino, koma ayi, unabala mphesa zosadya.
Wasigebha, wasusa amatshe kuso, wahlanyela kuso amavini amahle. Wakha umphotshongo ophakemeyo phakathi kwaso njalo wagebha lesikhamelo sewayini kuso. Walindela izithelo ezinhle, kodwa amavini athela ezimbi kuphela.
3 “Tsopano, inu amene mumakhala mu Yerusalemu ndi inu anthu a ku Yuda, weruzani pakati pa ine ndi munda wanga wa mpesawu.
“Manje-ke lina abahlala eJerusalema lani madoda akoJuda, yahlulelani phakathi kwami lesivini sami.
4 Kodi nʼchiyaninso china chimene ndikanachitira munda wanga wa mpesa kupambana chomwe ndawuchitira kale? Pamene ndinkayembekezera kuti udzabala mphesa zabwino, bwanji unabala mphesa zosadya?
Kuyini okudlula lapho okwakumele kwenziwe esivinini sami engingakwenzanga kuso na? Lapho ngangilindele izithelo ezinhle kungani sona sathela ezimbi kuphela na?
5 Tsopano ndikuwuzani chimene ndidzawuchitire munda wanga wa mpesa: ndidzachotsa mpanda wake, ndipo mundawo udzawonongeka; ndidzagwetsa khoma lake, ndipo nyama zidzapondapondamo.
Khathesi-ke sengizalitshela engizakwenza esivinini sami: Ngizasusa uthango lwaso; sizadilizwa. Ngizabhidliza umduli waso, sizagxotshwa ngezinyawo.
6 Ndidzawusandutsa tsala, udzakhala wosatengulira ndi wosalimira ndipo mudzamera mkandankhuku ndi minga ina. Ndidzalamula mitambo kuti isagwetse mvula pa mundapo.”
Ngizasenza sibe liganga kungabikho ukuthenwa kumbe ukuhlakulwa; inkotha lameva kuzakhula kuso. Ngizalaya amayezi anganisi zulu kuso.”
7 Munda wamphesa wa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndi Aisraeli, ndipo anthu a ku Yuda ndiwo minda yake yomukondweretsa. Ndipo Iye ankayembekezera chiweruzo cholungama, mʼmalo mwake anaona kuphana; mʼmalo mwa chilungamo Iye anamva kulira kwa anthu ozunzika.
Isivini sikaThixo uSomandla yindlu ka-Israyeli; abantu bakoJuda bayinsimu eligugu kuye. Wayelindele okufaneleyo, kodwa wabona ukuchitheka kwegazi; endaweni yokulunga, wezwa ukukhala kosizi.
8 Tsoka kwa inu amene mumangokhalira kulumikiza nyumba, ndipo mumangokhalira kuwonjezera minda, mpaka mutalanda malo onse kuti muzikhalamo nokha mʼdzikomo.
Maye kini elengeza izindlu ngezindlu lihlanganise insimu ensimini kuze kusweleke indawo eseleyo, njalo lihlala lodwa elizweni.
9 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wayankhula ine ndikumva kuti, “Ndithudi nyumba zambirizo zidzasanduka mabwinja, nyumba zazikulu zokongolazo zidzakhala zopanda anthu.
UThixo uSomandla usetshilo ngisizwa wathi: “Ngeqiniso izindlu ezinengi zizakuba ngamanxiwa; ezinkulu ezinhle zisale zingaselamuntu ohlala kuzo.
10 Munda wamphesa wa maekala khumi udzatulutsa vinyo wodzaza mbiya imodzi, kufesa madengu khumi a mbewu, zokolola zake zidzangodzaza dengu limodzi.”
Izindima ezilitshumi zesivini zizathela ifatshi elilodwa lewayini, ihomeri lenhlanyelo lithele ihefa lamabele.”
11 Tsoka kwa iwo amene amadzuka mmamawa nathamangira chakumwa choledzeretsa, amene amamwa mpaka usiku kufikira ataledzera kotheratu.
Maye kulabo abavuka ngovivi ekuseni begijimela ukunatha utshwala; abaqhubekayo kuze kube phakathi kobusuku baze badakwe butshwala.
12 Pa maphwando awo pamakhala azeze, apangwe, matambolini, zitoliro ndi vinyo, ndipo sasamala ntchito za Yehova, salemekeza ntchito za manja ake.
Balamachacho lemihubhe emadilini abo, amagedla, imihlanga, lewayini, kodwa kabazinaki izenzo zikaThixo, akukho nhlonipho yomsebenzi wezandla zakhe.
13 Motero anthu anga adzatengedwa ukapolo chifukwa cha kusamvetsa zinthu; atsogoleri awo olemekezeka adzafa ndi njala, ndipo anthu wamba ochuluka adzafa ndi ludzu.
Ngakho-ke abantu bami bazakuya ekuthunjweni ngenxa yokungazwisisi; izikhulu zabo zizabulawa yindlala lenengi labo lizakoma ngomhawu wamanzi.
14 Nʼchifukwa chake ku manda sikukhuta ndipo kwayasama kwambiri kukamwa kwake; mʼmandamo mudzagweranso anthu otchuka a mu Yerusalemu pamodzi ndi anthu wamba ochuluka; adzagweramo ali wowowo, nʼkuledzera kwawoko. (Sheol )
Ngakho indawo yabafileyo izakwelula imihlathi yayo, ikhamise umlomo wayo okungelamkhawulo; izikhulu zabo lenengi labo bawele phakathi labo bonke abaxokozelayo labazithokozisayo. (Sheol )
15 Ndipo munthu aliyense adzatsitsidwa, anthu onse adzachepetsedwa, anthu odzikuza adzachita manyazi.
Abantu bazakwehliselwa phansi, abantu bazathobekiswa, amehlo abaziphakamisayo athotshiswe.
16 Koma Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzalemekezedwa chifukwa cha chiweruzo chake cholungama. Ndipo Mulungu woyera adzadzionetsa kuti ndi woyera pochita chilungamo chake.
Kodwa uThixo uSomandla uzaphakanyiswa ngokwahlulela kwakhe okuhle; ubungcwele bukaNkulunkulu buzabonakala ngokulunga kwakhe.
17 Tsono nkhosa zidzadya pamenepo ngati pabusa pawo; ana ankhosa adzadya mʼmabwinja a anthu olemera.
Lapho-ke izimvu zizakudla angathi kusemadlelweni azo, amazinyane adle emanxiweni ezinothi.
18 Tsoka kwa amene amadzikokera tchimo ndi zingwe zachinyengo, ndipo amadzikokera zoyipa ndi zingwe zokokera ngolo,
Maye kulabo abahudula isono ngentambo zenkohliso lobubi kungathi kungamagoda enqola,
19 amene amanena kuti, “Yehova afulumire, agwire ntchito yake mwamsanga kuti ntchitoyo tiyione. Ntchito zionekere, zimene Woyerayo wa Israeli akufuna kuchita, zichitike kuti tizione.”
kulabo abathi, “UNkulunkulu kaphangise, kaphangisise umsebenzi wakhe ukuze siwubone. Kalisondele icebo loNgcwele ka-Israyeli kalize ukuze silazi.”
20 Tsoka kwa amene zoyipa amaziyesa zabwino ndipo zabwino amaziyesa zoyipa, amene mdima amawuyesa kuwala ndipo kuwala amakuyesa mdima, amene zowawasa amaziyesa zotsekemera ndipo zotsekemera amaziyesa zowawasa.
Maye kulabo abathi okubi kuhle bathi okuhle kubi, ababeka umnyama esikhundleni sokukhanya; ukukhanya esikhundleni somnyama; ababeka okubabayo esikhundleni sokumnandi, okumnandi esikhundleni sokubabayo.
21 Tsoka kwa amene amadziona ngati anzeru ndipo amadziyesa ochenjera.
Maye kulabo abahlakaniphileyo emehlweni abo njalo besile ekuboneni kwabo.
22 Tsoka kwa zidakwa zimene zimayika mtima pa vinyo ndipo ndi akatswiri posakaniza zakumwa,
Maye kulabo abangamaqhawe ekunatheni iwayini njalo bezintshantshu ekuhlanganiseni okunathwayo,
23 amene amamasula olakwa chifukwa cha chiphuphu koma amayipitsa mlandu wa munthu wosalakwa.
abakhulula abalamacala ngenxa yokufunjathiswa. Kodwa banqabele abamsulwa imfanelo yabo.
24 Nʼchifukwa chake monga momwe moto umawonongera chiputu ndipo monga momwe udzu wowuma umapsera mʼmalawi a moto, momwemonso mizu yawo idzawola ndipo maluwa awo adzafota ndi kuwuluka ngati fumbi; chifukwa akana malamulo a Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, ndipo anyoza mawu a Woyerayo wa Israeli.
Ngakho-ke, njengalokhu umlilo utshisa inhlanga, utshani obomileyo buphelela phakathi kwamalangabi, ngokunjalo impande zabo zizabola. Lamaluba abo aphephuke njengothuli; ngoba bawalile umthetho kaThixo uSomandla balidelela ilizwi loNgcwele ka-Israyeli.
25 Nʼchifukwa chake mkwiyo wa Yehova wayakira anthu ake; watambasula dzanja lake pa anthuwo ndipo akuwakantha Mapiri akugwedezeka, ndipo mitembo ya anthu yangoti mbwee mʼmisewu ngati zinyalala. Komabe ngakhale watero, mkwiyo wake sunaleke, dzanja lake likanali chitambasulire;
Ngakho ulaka lukaThixo luzavutha ebantwini bakhe; isandla sakhe siphakeme njalo uyabatshaya. Izintaba ziyanyikinyeka, izidumbu zabafileyo zinjengezibi ezindleleni. Ikanti kukho konke lokhu ulaka lwakhe kaluphelanga, isandla sakhe silokhu siphakanyisiwe.
26 Yehova wakweza mbendera kuyitana mtundu wa anthu akutali, akuyitana anthuwo ndi likhweru kuti abwere kuchokera ku mathero a dziko lapansi. Awo akubwera, akubweradi mofulumira kwambiri!
Uphakamisela izizwe ezikude uphawu, ubatshayela ikhwelo abasemaphethelweni omhlaba. Nampa besiza ngokuphangisa langejubane!
27 Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene akutopa kapena kupunthwa, palibe amene akusinza kapena kugona; palibe lamba wa mʼchiwuno amene akumasuka, palibe chingwe cha nsapato chimene chaduka.
Kakho omunye wabo odinwayo loba okhubekayo, kakho owozelayo kumbe olalayo, akukho bhanti elixegiswayo ekhalweni, akukho ntambo yenyathelo equmekileyo.
28 Mivi yawo ndi yakuthwa, mauta awo onse ndi okoka, ziboda za akavalo awo nʼzolimba ngati mwala wansagalabwi, magaleta awo ndi aliwiro ngati kamvuluvulu.
Imitshoko yabo ibukhali, wonke amadandili abo agotshisiwe; amasondo amabhiza abo afana lelitshe elilukhuni, amavili ezinqola zabo zokulwa anjengesivunguzane.
29 Kufuwula kwawo kuli ngati kubangula kwa mkango, amabangula ngati misona ya mkango; imadzuma pamene ikugwira nyama ndipo imapita nayo popanda ndi mmodzi yemwe woyipulumutsa.
Ukubhonga kwabo kufana lokwesilwane, babhonga njengezilwane ezikhulayo, bayabhavuma lapho bebamba inyamazana edliwayo, babaleke layo kungekho ongabemuka.
30 Tsiku limenelo mitundu ya anthu idzabangula ngati mkokomo wa madzi a mʼnyanja. Ndipo wina akakayangʼana dzikolo adzangoona mdima ndi zovuta; ngakhale kuwala kudzasanduka mdima chifukwa cha mitambo.
Ngalolosuku bazabhavumela phezu kwayo njengokubhavuma kolwandle. Njalo nxa umuntu ekhangela ilizwe, uzabona umnyama losizi; lelanga lizakwenziwa libe mnyama ngamayezi.
