Yesaya 54
1 “Sangalala, iwe mayi wosabala, iwe amene sunabalepo mwana; imba nyimbo, ndi kufuwula mwachimwemwe, iwe amene sunamvepo ululu wa pobereka; chifukwa mkazi wosiyidwa adzakhala ndi ana ambiri kuposa mkazi wokwatiwa,” akutero Yehova.
"Sing, barren, you who did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband," says the LORD.
2 Kulitsa malo omangapo tenti yako, tambasula kwambiri nsalu zake, usaleke; talikitsa zingwe zako, limbitsa zikhomo zako.
"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; do not spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3 Pakuti udzasendeza malire ako kumanja ndi kumanzere; ndipo zidzukulu zako zidzalanda dziko la anthu a mitundu ina ndipo zidzakhala mʼmizinda yawo yosiyidwa.
For you shall spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your descendants shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 “Usachite mantha; sadzakunyozanso. Usakhumudwe; sudzapeputsidwanso. Udzayiwala za manyazi zimene zinakuchitikira nthawi ya unyamata wako ndipo za manyazi zimene zinakuchitikira pa nthawi ya umasiye wako sudzazikumbukanso.
"Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame, nor will you be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced. For you will forget the shame of your youth, and the disgrace of your widowhood you will remember no more.
5 Pakuti Mlengi wako ali ngati mwamuna wako, dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Woyerayo wa Israeli ndiye Mpulumutsi wanu; dzina lake ndi Mulungu wa dziko lonse lapansi.
For your husband is your Creator; the LORD of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6 Yehova wakuyitananso, uli ngati mkazi wosiyidwa ndi wodzaza ndi chisoni mu mtima, mkazi amene anakwatiwa pa unyamata wake kenaka nʼkukanidwa,” akutero Mulungu wako.
For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off," says your God.
7 “Kwa kanthawi kochepa, Ine ndinakusiya, koma ndidzakutenganso chifukwa ndimakukonda kwambiri.
"For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you.
8 Ndinakufulatira kwa kanthawi kochepa ndili wokwiya kwambiri. Koma ndi kukoma mtima kwanga kwa muyaya, ndidzakuchitira chifundo,” akutero Yehova Mpulumutsi wako.
In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy on you," says the LORD your Redeemer.
9 “Kwa ine zimenezi zili ngati mmene zinalili mʼnthawi ya Nowa. Monga ndinalumbira nthawi imeneyo kuti sindidzawononganso dziko lapansi ndi madzi. Kotero tsopano ndalumbira kuti sindidzakupseraninso mtima, sindidzakudzudzulaninso.
"For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10 Ngakhale mapiri atagwedezeka ndi zitunda kusunthidwa, koma chikondi changa chosasinthika pa iwe sichidzatha. Pangano langa lamtendere silidzasintha,” akutero Yehova amene amakuchitira chifundo.
For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD who has mercy on you.
11 “Iwe mzinda wozunzika, wokunthidwa ndi namondwe ndiponso wopanda wokutonthoza, Ine ndidzakongoletsa miyala yako. Maziko ako ndidzamanga ndi miyala ya safiro.
"You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, look, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 Ndidzamanga nsanja zako zankhondo ndi miyala yokongola ya rubi. Ndidzamanga zipata zako ndi miyala yonyezimira ngati moto, ndipo linga lako lonse lidzakhala la miyala yamtengowapatali.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 Yehova adzaphunzitsa ana ako onse, ndipo ana ako adzakhala ndi mtendere wochuluka.
And all your children shall be taught by God; and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 Udzakhazikika mʼchilungamo chenicheni: Sudzakhalanso wopanikizika, chifukwa sudzaopa kanthu kalikonse. Sudzakhalanso ndi mantha chifukwa manthawo sadzafika pafupi ndi iwe.
In righteousness you shall be established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Ngati wina adzakuthirani nkhondo, si ndine amene ndachititsa; aliyense amene adzalimbana nanu adzagonja chifukwa cha iwe.
Look, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of you.
16 “Taona, ndi Ine amene ndinalenga munthu wosula zitsulo amene amakoleza moto wamakala ndi kusula zida zoti azigwiritse ntchito. Ndipo ndine amene ndinalenga munthu wosakaza kuti awononge;
"Look, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17 palibe chida chopangidwa ndi mdani chimene chidzakupweteke, ndipo onse okuneneza pa mlandu udzawatsutsa. Umu ndimo adzapezekere atumiki a Yehova. Chipambano chawo chichokera kwa Ine,” akutero Yehova.
No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness which is of me," says the LORD.
