Yesaya 60
1 “Dzuka, wala, pakuti kuwala kwako kwafika, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova wakuwalira.
Rise up to be illuminated, O Jerusalem! For your light has arrived, and the glory of the Lord has risen over you.
2 Taona, mdima waphimba dziko lapansi ndipo mdima wandiweyani wagwa pa anthu a mitundu ina, koma Yehova adzakuwalira iwe, ndipo ulemerero wake udzaoneka pa iwe.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness will cover the peoples. Then the Lord will rise above you, and his glory will be seen in you.
3 Mitundu ya anthu idzatsata kuwunika kwako ndipo mafumu adzalondola kunyezimira kwa mʼbandakucha wako.
And the nations will walk in your light, and the kings will walk by the splendor of your rising.
4 “Tukula maso ako, yangʼanayangʼana ndipo ona zimene zikuchitika. Onse akusonkhana ndipo akubwera kwa iwe; ana ako a amuna akubwera kuchokera kutali ndipo ana ako aakazi anyamulidwa mʼmanja.
Lift up your eyes all around and see! All these have been gathered together; they have arrived before you. Your sons will arrive from far away, and your daughters will rise up from your side.
5 Ukadzaona zimenezi udzasangalala kwambiri, mtima wako udzalumpha ndi kudzaza ndi chimwemwe; chuma chakunyanja chidzabwera kwa iwe chuma cha mitundu ya anthu chidzabwera kwa iwe.
Then you will see, and you will overflow, and your heart will be amazed and expanded. When the multitude of the sea will have been converted to you, the strength of the nations will approach you.
6 Gulu la ngamira lidzaphimba dziko lako, ngamira zingʼonozingʼono zidzachokera ku Midiyani ndi ku Efai. Ndipo onse a ku Seba adzabwera atanyamula golide ndi lubani uku akutamanda Yehova.
A multitude of camels will inundate you: the dromedaries from Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba will arrive, carrying gold and frankincense, and announcing praise to the Lord.
7 Ziweto zonse za ku Kedara adzazisonkhanitsa kwa inu, nkhosa zazimuna za ku Nabayoti zidzakutumikirani; zidzalandiridwa monga chopereka pa guwa langa la nsembe, ndipo ndidzakongoletsa Nyumba yanga.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together before you; the rams of Nebaioth will minister to you. They will be offered upon my pleasing altar, and I will glorify the house of my majesty.
8 “Kodi ndi zayani izo zikuwuluka ngati mitambo, ngati kapena nkhunda zobwerera ku zisa zawo?
Who are these ones, who fly like the clouds and like doves to their windows?
9 Ndithu, izi ndi sitima za pa madzi zochokera ku mayiko akutali; patsogolo pali sitima zapamadzi za ku Tarisisi, zikubweretsa ana ako ochokera kutali, pamodzi ndi siliva wawo ndi golide wawo, kudzalemekeza Yehova Mulungu wako, Woyerayo wa Israeli, pakuti Iye wakuvekani inu ulemerero.
For the islands await me, and the ships of the sea in the beginning, so that I may lead your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of the Lord your God and to the Holy One of Israel. For he has glorified you.
10 “Alendo adzamanganso malinga ako, ndipo mafumu awo adzakutumikira. Ngakhale ndinakukantha ndili wokwiya, koma tsopano ndidzakukomera mtima ndikukuchitira chifundo.
And the sons of sojourners will build up your walls, and their kings will minister to you. For in my wrath, I have struck you. And in my reconciliation, I have taken pity on you.
11 Zipata zako zidzakhala zotsekula nthawi zonse, sadzazitseka nthawi zonse, usana ndi usiku, kotero anthu adzabwera kwa iwe ndi chuma chawo, akuyenda pa mdipiti mafumu awo ali patsogolo.
And your gates will be open continually. They will not be closed day or night, so that the strength of the nations may be brought before you, and their kings may be lead in.
12 Pakuti mtundu wa anthu ndi mafumu amene sakutumikira iwe; adzawonongeka kotheratu.
For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you will perish. And the Gentiles will be devastated by solitude.
13 “Adzabwera nayo kwa iwe mitengo ya payini, mkuyu ndi naphini imene ili mʼnkhalango ya Lebanoni kuti adzakongoletsere malo a nyumba yanga yopatulika; ndipo ndidzalemekeza malo amene Ine ndimapondapo.
The glory of Lebanon will arrive before you, the fir tree and the box tree and the pine tree together, to adorn the place of my sanctification. And I will glorify the place of my feet.
14 Ana aja amene anakuzunzani adzabwera ndipo adzakugwadirani; onse amene anakunyozani adzagwada pansi pa mapazi anu. Ndipo adzakutchani kuti Mzinda wa Yehova; Ziyoni mzinda wa Woyerayo wa Israeli.
And the sons of those who humiliate you will approach and will bow down before you. And all who detract you will reverence the path of your feet. And they will call you the City of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Ngakhale anthu anakusiya nadana nawe, koma Ine ndidzakukuza mpaka muyaya, ndipo udzakhala malo a chimwemwe cha anthu amibado yonse.
For though you were forsaken, and held in hatred, and there was no one who would pass near you, I will establish you as an everlasting glory, as a gladness from generation to generation.
16 Udzamwa mkaka wa mitundu ya anthu ndi kuleredwa pa maere aufumu, motero udzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova, ndine Mpulumutsi wako, Momboli wako ndiye Wamphamvu wa Yakobo.
And you will drink the milk of the Gentiles, and you will be nursed at the breasts of kings, and you will know that I am the Lord, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.
17 Ndidzakupatsa golide mʼmalo mwa mkuwa, ndi siliva mʼmalo mwa chitsulo. Ndidzakupatsa mkuwa mʼmalo mwa thabwa ndi chitsulo mʼmalo mwa miyala. Olamulira ako adzakhala a mtendere. Ndidzasandutsa okulamulira kuti akhale achilungamo.
In exchange for brass, I will bring gold; and in exchange for iron, I will bring silver; and for wood, brass; and for stones, iron. And I will make your visitation into peace, and your leaders into justice.
18 Ziwawa sizidzamvekanso mʼdziko lako, bwinja kapena chiwonongeko sizidzapezeka mʼdziko lako, ndidzakhala malinga ako okuteteza ndipo udzanditamanda.
Iniquity will no longer be heard in your land, nor devastation and destruction in your borders. And salvation will occupy your walls, and praise will occupy your gates.
19 Sipadzakhala dzuwa kuti likuwunikire, kapena mwezi kuti uwunikire usiku, pakuti Yehova ndiye adzakhale kuwunika kwako kwa muyaya, ndipo Mulungu wako adzakhala ulemerero wako.
The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon illuminate you. Instead, the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and your God will be your glory.
20 Dzuwa lako silidzalowanso, ndipo mwezi wako sudzazimiriranso; Yehova adzakhala kuwunika kwako kwamuyaya, ndipo masiku a mavuto ako adzatha.
Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not diminish. For the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and the days of your mourning will be completed.
21 Ndipo anthu ako onse adzakhala olungama ndipo dzikolo lidzakhala lawo mpaka muyaya. Iwo ndi mphukira imene Ine ndayidzala, ntchito ya manja anga, kuti aonetse ulemerero wanga.
And your people will all be just. They will inherit the earth in perpetuity, the seedling of my planting, the work of my hand, so as to glorify me.
22 Kabanja kakangʼono kadzasanduka fuko, kafuko kakangʼono kudzasanduka mtundu wamphamvu. Ine ndine Yehova, nthawi yake ikafika ndidzazichita zimenezi mofulumira.”
The least will become a thousand, and a little one will become a very strong nation. I, the Lord, will accomplish this, suddenly, in its time.
