Yesaya 63
1 Kodi ndani uyo akubwera kuchokera ku Edomu, atavala zovala za ku Bozira za madontho ofiira? Kodi uyu ndani, amene wavala zovala zokongola, akuyenda mwa mphamvu zake? “Ndi Ineyo, woyankhula zachilungamo ndiponso wamphamvu zopulumutsa.”
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red garments from Bozrah, this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? — I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 Nanga bwanji zovala zanu zili psuu, ngati za munthu wofinya mphesa?
— Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?
3 “Ndapondereza ndekha anthu a mitundu ina ngati mphesa, palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe anali nane. Ndinawapondereza ndili wokwiya ndipo ndinawapondereza ndili ndi ukali; magazi awo anadothera pa zovala zanga, ndipo zovala zanga zonse zinathimbirira.
I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel.
4 Pakuti ndinatsimikiza mu mtima mwanga kuti lafika tsiku lolipsira anthu anga; ndipo chaka cha kuwomboledwa kwanga chafika.
For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come.
5 Ndinayangʼana ndipo panalibe munthu wondithandiza. Ndinadabwa kwambiri kuti panalibe wondichirikiza; choncho ndinapambana ndi mphamvu zanga, ndipo mkwiyo wanga unandilimbitsa.
And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 Ndinapondereza mitundu ya anthu ndili wokwiya; ndipo ndinawasakaza ndipo ndinathira magazi awo pansi.”
And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.
7 Ndidzafotokoza za kukoma mtima kwa Yehova, ntchito zimene Iye ayenera kutamandidwa. Ndidzatamanda Yehova chifukwa cha zonse zimene watichitira. Inde, mwa chifundo ndi kukoma mtima kwake Yehova wachitira nyumba ya Israeli zinthu zabwino zambiri.
I will record the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he hath bestowed upon them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.
8 Yehova anati, “Ndithu awa ndi anthu anga, ana anga amene sadzandinyenga Ine.” Choncho anawapulumutsa.
And he said, They are indeed my people, children that will not lie; and he became their Saviour.
9 Iyenso anasautsidwa mʼmasautso awo onse, ndipo mngelo wochokera kwa Iye anawapulumutsa. Mwa chikondi ndi chifundo chake iye anawapulumutsa, anawanyamula ndikuwatenga kuyambira kale lomwe.
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them and carried them all the days of old.
10 Komabe iwo anawukira ndi kumvetsa chisoni Mzimu Woyera. Motero Yehova anatembenuka nakhala mdani wawo ndipo Iye mwini anamenyana nawo.
But they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he fought against them.
11 Pamenepo anthu ake anakumbukira masiku amakedzana, masiku a Mose mtumiki wake; ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Ali kuti Yehova amene anawawolotsa pa nyanja, pamodzi ndi Mose mʼbusa wawo? Ali kuti Iye amene anayika Mzimu Woyera pakati pawo?
But he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him,
12 Ali kuti amene anachita zinthu zodabwitsa ndi mphamvu zake zazikulu kudzera mwa Mose? Ali kuti amene anagawa madzi pa nyanja anthu ake akuona, kuti dzina lake limveke mpaka muyaya,
his glorious arm leading them by the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,
13 amene anawayendetsa pa nyanja yozama? Monga kavalo woyendayenda mʼchipululu, iwo sanapunthwe;
— who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, [and] they stumbled not?
14 Mzimu Woyera unawapumulitsa ngati mmene ngʼombe zimapumulira. Umu ndi mmene Inu munatsogolera anthu anu kuti dzina lanu lilemekezeke.”
As cattle go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah gave them rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
15 Inu Yehova amene muli kumwambako, pa mpando wanu wolemekezeka, wopatulika ndi waulemerero, tiyangʼaneni ife. Kodi changu chanu ndi mphamvu zanu zili kuti? Simukutionetsanso kukoma mtima kwanu ndi chifundo chanu.
Look down from the heavens, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory! Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy tender mercies? Are they restrained toward me?
16 Koma Inu ndinu Atate athu, ngakhale Abrahamu satidziwa kapena Israeli kutivomereza ife; Inu Yehova, ndinu Atate athu, kuyambira kale dzina lanu ndinu Mpulumutsi wathu.
For thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer, from everlasting, is thy name.
17 Chifukwa chiyani, Inu Yehova, mukutisocheretsa pa njira zanu? Bwanji mukutilola kuti tikhale owuma mitima kotero kuti sitikukuopaninso? Bwererani chifukwa cha atumiki anu; mafuko a anthu amene ali cholowa chanu.
Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
18 Anthu anu atangokhala pa malo anu opatulika pa kanthawi kochepa, adani athu anasakaza malo anu opatulika.
Thy holy people have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 Ife tili ngati anthu amene simunawalamulirepo ngati iwo amene sanakhalepo anthu anu.
We have become [like those] over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.
