1 “Dzuka, wala, pakuti kuwala kwako kwafika, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova wakuwalira.
"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of YHWH has risen upon 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, look, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but YHWH will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.
3 Mitundu ya anthu idzatsata kuwunika kwako ndipo mafumu adzalondola kunyezimira kwa mʼbandakucha wako.
Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness 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: they all gather themselves together, they come to you; your sons shall come from far, and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
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 shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to 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.
The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of YHWH.
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 shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on my altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory.
8 “Kodi ndi zayani izo zikuwuluka ngati mitambo, ngati kapena nkhunda zobwerera ku zisa zawo?
"Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the 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.
Surely the islands shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of YHWH your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
10 “Alendo adzamanganso malinga ako, ndipo mafumu awo adzakutumikira. Ngakhale ndinakukantha ndili wokwiya, koma tsopano ndidzakukomera mtima ndikukuchitira chifundo.
"Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor have I had mercy 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.
Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
12 Pakuti mtundu wa anthu ndi mafumu amene sakutumikira iwe; adzawonongeka kotheratu.
For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
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 shall come to you, the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you The city of YHWH, 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.
"Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through you, I will make you an everlasting excellency, a joy of many generations.
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.
You shall also drink the milk of the nations, and shall nurse from royal breasts; and you shall know that I, YHWH, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty 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.
For bronze I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood bronze, and for stones iron. I will also make your officers peace, and righteousness your ruler.
18 Ziwawa sizidzamvekanso mʼdziko lako, bwinja kapena chiwonongeko sizidzapezeka mʼdziko lako, ndidzakhala malinga ako okuteteza ndipo udzanditamanda.
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, destruction nor calamity within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
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 moon shine for illumination at night; but YHWH will be your everlasting light, 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 shall no more go down, neither shall your moon withdraw itself; for YHWH will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
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.
Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 Kabanja kakangʼono kadzasanduka fuko, kafuko kakangʼono kudzasanduka mtundu wamphamvu. Ine ndine Yehova, nthawi yake ikafika ndidzazichita zimenezi mofulumira.”
The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, YHWH, will hasten it in its time."
