Yesaya 61

1 Mzimu wa Ambuye Yehova uli pa ine, chifukwa Yehova wandidzoza kuti ndilalikire uthenga wabwino kwa anthu osauka. Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze anthu osweka mtima, ndikalengeze kwa akapolo kuti alandire ufulu ndiponso kuti ndikamasule a mʼndende.

The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to bring good tidings unto the humble; He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the eyes to them that are bound;

2 Wandituma kuti ndikalengeze nthawi imene Yehova adzapulumutsa anthu ake; za tsiku limene Yehova adzalanga adani a anthu ake. Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze olira.

To proclaim the year of the LORD'S good pleasure, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 Wandituma kuti ndiwakonzere olira a ku Ziyoni, nkhata ya maluwa yokongola mʼmalo mwa phulusa, ndiwapatse mafuta achikondwerero mʼmalo mwa kulira. Ndiwapatse chovala cha matamando mʼmalo mwa mtima wopsinjika. Ndipo iwo adzatchedwa mitengo ya thundu yamphamvu yachilungamo, yoyidzala Yehova kuti Iye mwini apezemo ulemerero wake.

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called terebinths of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, wherein He might glory.

4 Adzamanganso mabwinja akale a mzinda ndipo malo amene anawonongeka kalekale aja adzakonzanso. Adzakonzanso mizinda imene inapasuka, imene yakhala yowonongeka kwa nthawi yayitali kwambiri.

And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall renew the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

5 Anthu achilendo adzakutumikirani; adzazidyetsa ziweto zanu; iwo adzagwira ntchito mʼminda yanu ya mpesa.

And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and aliens shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

6 Ndipo inu mudzatchedwa ansembe a Yehova, adzakutchulani kuti ndinu atumiki a Mulungu wathu. Mudzadyerera chuma cha mitundu ya anthu, ndipo mudzanyadira ulemu umene mwalandira.

But ye shall be named the priests of the LORD, men shall call you the ministers of our God; ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their splendour shall ye revel.

7 Chifukwa manyazi awo anali owirikiza; ndi kuti munalandira chitonzo ndi kutukwana, adzakondwera ndi cholowa chawo, tsono adzalandira cholowa chawo cha chigawo cha dziko mowirikiza, ndipo chimwemwe chamuyaya chidzakhala chawo.

For your shame which was double, and for that they rejoiced: 'Confusion is their portion'; therefore in their land they shall possess double, everlasting joy shall be unto them.

8 “Pakuti Ine Yehova, ndimakonda chilungamo; ndimadana ndi zakuba ndi zoyipa. Anthu anga ndidzawapatsa mphotho mokhulupirika ndikupangana nawo pangano losatha.

For I the LORD love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 Ana awo adzakhala odziwika pakati pa mitundu ya anthu ndipo adzukulu awo adzakhala otchuka pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Aliyense wowaona adzazindikira kuti ndi anthu amene Yehova wawadalitsa.”

And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

10 Ine ndikusangalala kwambiri chifukwa cha Yehova; moyo wanga ukukondwera chifukwa cha Mulungu wanga. Pakuti Iye wandiveka zovala zachipulumutso, ndipo wandiveka mkanjo wachilungamo. Zili ngati mkwati wovala nkhata ya maluwa mʼkhosi mwake, ndiponso ngati mkwatibwi wovala mikanda yamtengowapatali.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of victory, as a bridegroom putteth on a priestly diadem, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

11 Monga momwe nthaka imameretsa mbewu ndiponso monga munda umakulitsa mbewu zimene anadzala, momwemonso Ambuye Yehova adzaonetsa chilungamo ndi matamando pamaso pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.

For as the earth bringeth forth her growth, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause victory and glory to spring forth before all the nations.
