< Yesaya 62 >
1 Chifukwa chokonda Ziyoni sindidzakhala chete, chifukwa chokonda Yerusalemu sindidzakhala chete, mpaka chilungamo chake chitaoneka poyera ngati kuwala, ndi chipulumutso chake chitaoneka ngati sakali yoyaka.
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
2 Mitundu ya anthu idzaona iwe utapambana pa nkhondo ndipo mafumu onse adzaona ulemerero wako. Adzakuyitanira dzina latsopano limene adzakupatse ndi Yehova.
The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
3 Udzakhala ngati chipewa chaulemerero mʼdzanja la Yehova, ndi ngati nduwira yaufumu mʼdzanja la Mulungu wako.
You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 Sadzakutchanso “Wosiyidwa,” ndipo dziko lako silidzatchedwanso “Chipululu.” Koma dzina lako latsopano lidzakhala “Ndakondwera naye.” Ndipo dziko lako lidzatchedwa “Wokwatiwa.” Chifukwa Yehova akukondwera nawe, ndipo adzakhala ngati mwamuna wa dziko lako.
And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
5 Monga mnyamata amakwatira namwali, momwenso mmisiri wodzakumanga adzakukwatira; monga mkwati amakondwera ndi mkwatibwi, chonchonso Mulungu adzakondwera nawe.
For just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6 Iwe Yerusalemu, pa malinga ako ndayikapo alonda; sadzakhala chete usana kapena usiku. Inu amene mumakumbutsa Yehova za malonjezo ake musapumule.
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on the LORD, take no rest,
7 Musamupatse mpata wopuma mpaka atakhazikitsa Yerusalemu kukhala mzinda umene dziko lapansi lidzawutamande.
and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 Yehova analumbira atakweza dzanja lake. Anati, “Sindidzaperekanso tirigu wako kuti akhale chakudya cha adani ako, ndipo alendo sadzamwanso vinyo wako watsopano pakuti unamuvutikira.
The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
9 Koma amene amakakolola ndiwo amene adzadye buledi ndi kutamanda Yehova, ndipo amene amasonkhanitsa pamodzi mphesa ndiwo amene adzamwe vinyo mʼmabwalo a Nyumba yanga.”
but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
10 Tulukani, dutsani pa zipata! Konzerani anthu njira. Lambulani, lambulani msewu waukulu! Chotsani miyala. Kwezani mbendera kuti mitundu ya anthu izione.
Go through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples.
11 Yehova walengeza ku dziko lonse lapansi kuti, Awuzeni anthu a ku Yerusalemu kuti, “Taonani, chipulumutso chanu chikubwera; Yehova akubwera ndi mphotho yake akubwera nazo zokuyenerani.”
Look, the LORD has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'"
12 Iwo adzatchedwa Anthu Opatulika, owomboledwa a Yehova; ndipo adzakutchani “Okondwa a Yehova” “Mzinda umene Yehova sanawusiye.”
They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
