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 crimsoned garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, stately in the greatness of his strength?' — 'I that speak in victory, mighty to save.' —
2 Nanga bwanji zovala zanu zili psuu, ngati za munthu wofinya mphesa?
'Wherefore is Thine apparel red, and Thy garments like his 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 there was no man with Me; yea, I trod them in Mine anger, and trampled them in My fury; and their lifeblood is dashed against My garments, and I have stained all My raiment.
4 Pakuti ndinatsimikiza mu mtima mwanga kuti lafika tsiku lolipsira anthu anga; ndipo chaka cha kuwomboledwa kwanga chafika.
For the day of vengeance that was in My heart, and My year of redemption are 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 beheld in astonishment, and there was none to uphold; therefore 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 trod down the peoples in Mine anger, and made them drunk with My fury, and I poured out their lifeblood on 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 make mention of the mercies of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us; and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He hath bestowed on them according to His compassions, and according to the multitude of His mercies.
8 Yehova anati, “Ndithu awa ndi anthu anga, ana anga amene sadzandinyenga Ine.” Choncho anawapulumutsa.
For He said: 'Surely, they are My people, children that will not deal falsely'; so He was 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; therefore He was turned to be their enemy, Himself 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?
Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses: '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 in the midst of them?
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,
That caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? That divided the water before them, to make Himself an everlasting name?
13 amene anawayendetsa pa nyanja yozama? Monga kavalo woyendayenda mʼchipululu, iwo sanapunthwe;
That led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, without stumbling?
14 Mzimu Woyera unawapumulitsa ngati mmene ngʼombe zimapumulira. Umu ndi mmene Inu munatsogolera anthu anu kuti dzina lanu lilemekezeke.”
As the cattle that go down into the valley, the spirit of the LORD caused them to 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 heaven, and see, even from Thy holy and glorious habitation; Where is Thy zeal and Thy mighty acts, the yearning of Thy heart and Thy compassions, now 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; for Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us; Thou, O LORD, 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.
O LORD, why dost Thou make us to err from Thy ways, and hardenest 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 they have well nigh driven out, our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary.
19 Ife tili ngati anthu amene simunawalamulirepo ngati iwo amene sanakhalepo anthu anu.
We are become as they over whom Thou never borest rule, as they that were not called by Thy name.
