Yesaya 55
1 “Bwerani, inu nonse amene muli ndi ludzu, bwerani madzi alipo; ndipo inu amene mulibe ndalama bwerani, mudzagule chakudya kuti mudye! Bwerani mudzagule vinyo ndi mkaka osalipira ndalama, osalipira chilichonse.
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Chifukwa chiyani ndalama zanu mukuwonongera zinthu zimene samadya, ndipo mukuwononga malipiro anu pa zinthu zimene sizikhutitsa? Tamverani, mvetsetsani zimene ndikunena kuti mudye zimene zili zabwino; ndipo mudzisangalatse.
Why do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently to me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Tcherani makutu ndipo mubwere kwa Ine; mvereni Ine, kuti mukhale ndi moyo. Ndidzachita nanu pangano losatha, chikondi changa chija chosasinthika ndi chodalirika ndinalonjeza Davide.
Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Taonani, ine ndamusankha kuti akhale mboni yanga kwa mitundu ya anthu, kuti akhale mtsogoleri ndi wolamulira mitundu ya anthu.
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
5 Ndithu inu mudzayitanitsa mitundu ya anthu imene simuyidziwa, ndipo mitundu ya anthu imene sikudziwani idzabwera ndi liwiro kwa inu. Izi zidzatero chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, Woyerayo wa Israeli, wakuvekani ulemerero.”
Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run to thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
6 Funafunani Yehova pamene Iye akupezeka. Mupemphere kwa Iye pamene ali pafupi.
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Woyipa asiye makhalidwe ake oyipa, ndipo wosalungama asinthe maganizo ake oyipa. Abwerere kwa Yehova, ndipo adzamuchitira chifundo, ndi kwa Mulungu wathu, pakuti adzamukhululukira koposa.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 “Pakuti maganizo anga siwofanana ndi maganizo anu, ngakhale njira zanu si njira zanga,” akutero Yehova.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 “Monga momwe mlengalenga muli kutali ndi dziko lapansi, momwemonso zochita zanga nʼzolekana kutali ndi zochita zanu, ndipo maganizo anga ndi osiyana kutali ndi maganizo anu.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Monga mvula ndi chisanu chowundana zimatsika kuchokera kumwamba, ndipo sizibwerera komweko koma zimathirira dziko lapansi. Ndipo zimameretsa ndi kukulitsa zomera kenaka nʼkupatsa mlimi mbewu ndi chakudya.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not there, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 Ndi mmenenso amachitira mawu ochokera mʼkamwa mwanga. Sadzabwerera kwa Ine kopanda phindu lake, koma adzachita zonse zimene ndifuna, ndipo adzakwaniritsa cholinga chimene ndinawatumira.
So shall my word be that proceedeth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12 Inu mudzatuluka mu mzindawo mwachimwemwe ndipo adzakutsogolerani mwamtendere; mapiri ndi zitunda zidzakuyimbirani nyimbo, ndipo mitengo yonse yamʼthengo idzakuwombereni mʼmanja.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Mʼmalo mʼmene tsopano muli mitengo ya minga mudzamera mitengo ya payini, ndipo kumene kuli mkandankhuku kudzamera mchisu. Zimenezi zidzakhala chikumbutso cha Yehova, ngati chizindikiro chamuyaya, chimene sichidzafafanizika konse.”
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
