< 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.
2 Wandituma kuti ndikalengeze nthawi imene Yehova adzapulumutsa anthu ake; za tsiku limene Yehova adzalanga adani a anthu ake. Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze olira.
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.
4 Adzamanganso mabwinja akale a mzinda ndipo malo amene anawonongeka kalekale aja adzakonzanso. Adzakonzanso mizinda imene inapasuka, imene yakhala yowonongeka kwa nthawi yayitali kwambiri.
5 Anthu achilendo adzakutumikirani; adzazidyetsa ziweto zanu; iwo adzagwira ntchito mʼminda yanu ya mpesa.
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.
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.
8 “Pakuti Ine Yehova, ndimakonda chilungamo; ndimadana ndi zakuba ndi zoyipa. Anthu anga ndidzawapatsa mphotho mokhulupirika ndikupangana nawo pangano losatha.
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.”
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.
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.
