Yesaya 50
1 Yehova akuti, “Kalata imene ndinasudzulira amayi anu ili kuti? Kapena mwa anthu amene ndili nawo ngongole, ndinakugulitsani kwa ati? Inu munagulitsidwa ku ukapolo chifukwa cha machimo anu; amayi anu anachotsedwa chifukwa cha kulakwa kwanu.
Thus says Jehovah, "Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
2 Nʼchifukwa chiyani pamene ndinabwera kudzakupulumutsani panalibe munthu? Pamene ndinayitana, nʼchifukwa chiyani panalibe wondiyankha? Kodi dzanja langa ndi lalifupi kuti nʼkulephera kukuwombolani? Kodi ndilibe mphamvu zokupulumutsirani? Ndi kudzudzula kokha ndinawumitsa nyanja yayikulu, mitsinje ndinayisandutsa chipululu; nsomba za mʼmenemo zinawola chifukwa chosowa madzi; ndipo zinafa ndi ludzu.
Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
3 Ndinaphimba thambo ndi mdima ndipo chiguduli chinakhala chofunda chake.”
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
4 Ambuye Yehova anandiphunzitsa mawu oyenera kuyankhula kudziwa mawu olimbitsa mtima anthu ofowoka. Mmawa mulimonse amandidzutsa, amathwetsa khutu langa kuti ndimve monga amachitira munthu amene akuphunzira.
Jehovah has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
5 Ambuye Yehova wanditsekula makutu anga, ndipo sindinakhale munthu wowukira ndipo sindinabwerere mʼmbuyo.
Jehovah has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
6 Ndinapereka msana wanga kwa ondimenya masaya anga ndinawapereka kwa anthu ondizula ndevu; sindinawabisire nkhope yanga anthu ondinyoza ndi ondilavulira.
I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard; I did not cover my face from insults and spitting.
7 Popeza Ambuye Yehova amandithandiza, sindidzachita manyazi. Tsono ndalimba mtima ngati msangalabwi, chifukwa ndikudziwa kuti sindidzachita manyazi.
But Jehovah will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
8 Wondikhalira kumbuyo ali pafupi, ndaninso amene adzandiyimba mlandu? Abwere kuti tionane maso ndi maso! Mdani wanga ndi ndani? Abweretu kuti tilimbane!
He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
9 Ambuye Yehova ndiye amene amandithandiza. Ndaninso amene adzanditsutsa? Onse adzatha ngati chovala chodyedwa ndi njenjete.
Look, Jehovah will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Look, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
10 Ndani mwa inu amaopa Yehova ndi kumvera mawu a mtumiki wake? Aliyense woyenda mu mdima, popanda chomuwunikira, iye akhulupirire dzina la Yehova ndi kudalira Mulungu wake.
Who is among you who fears Jehovah, who listens to the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and rely on his God.
11 Koma tsopano inu nonse amene mumasonkha moto ndi kuyatsa sakali za moto kufuna kuwononga anzanu, lowani mʼmoto wanu womwewo. Pitani mu sakali za moto zimene mwayatsa. Ndipo ine Yehova ndiye amene ndidzakugwetsereni mazunzowo.
Look, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with flaming arrows around yourselves; walk in the light of your fire, and among the flaming arrows that you have kindled. You shall have this of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
