Yesaya 65
1 “Ndinali wokonzeka kumva mapemphero a amene sankandipempha kanthu; ndipo ndinalola kuti anthu amene ankandifunafuna kuti andipeze. Kwa mtundu wa anthu umene sunkapempha chithandizo kwa Ine, ndinati, ‘Ine ndili pano, Ine ndili pano.’
"I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me. I was found by those who did not seek me. I said, 'Here I am. Here I am.' to a nation that did not call on my name.
2 Tsiku lonse ndatambasulira manja anga anthu owukira aja, amene amachita zoyipa, natsatira zokhumba zawo.
All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own thoughts;
3 Ndatambasulira manja anga anthu aja amene nthawi zonse amandikwiyitsa mopanda manyazi. Iwo amapereka nsembe mʼminda ndi kufukiza lubani pa maguwa ansembe a njerwa.
a people who provoke me to my face continually as they sacrifice in gardens and burn incense on bricks;
4 Amakatandala ku manda ndipo amakachezera usiku wonse kumalo obisika. Amadya nyama ya nkhumba, ndipo mʼmiphika mwawo muli msunzi wa nyama yodetsedwa.
who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat pig's flesh, and the broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Amawuza ena kuti, ‘Khala patali usandiyandikire, chifukwa ungatengere kupatulika kwanga!’ Ukali wanga pa anthu otere uli ngati utsi mphuno zanga, ngati moto umene umayaka tsiku lonse.
who say, 'Keep your distance, do not come near to me, for I am holier than you.' These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
6 “Taonani, ndatsimikiza kale mlandu ndi chilango chawo; sindidzakhala chete koma ndidzawalanga kwathunthu chifukwa cha machimo awo
"Look, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yes, I will recompense into their bosom,
7 ndi a makolo awo,” akutero Yehova. “Chifukwa anapereka nsembe zopsereza pa mapiri ndi kundinyoza Ine pa zitunda zawo, Ine ndidzawalanga kwathunthu potsata zimene anachita kale.”
your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together," says Jehovah, "who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills; therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom."
8 Yehova akuti, “Pamene madzi akanapezeka mu phava la mphesa ndipo anthu amati, ‘Musawononge phavalo, popeza madzi ena abwino akanalimobe mʼphavalo,’ Inenso chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga; sindidzawononga onse.
Thus says Jehovah, "As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, 'Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it:' so will I do for my servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all.
9 Ndidzatulutsa zidzukulu mʼbanja la Yakobo, ndipo a banja la Yuda adzalandira mapiri anga ngati cholowa chawo. Anthu anga osankhidwa adzalandira zimenezi, ndipo atumiki anga adzakhala kumeneko.
And I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and from Judah they shall inherit my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
10 Chigwa cha Saroni chidzakhala kodyetserako nkhosa, ndipo chigwa cha Akori chidzakhala malo opumirako ngʼombe kwa anthu anga ondifunafuna Ine.
Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
11 “Koma inu amene mumasiya Yehova ndi kuyiwala phiri langa lopatulika, amene munamukonzera Gadi chakudya ndi kuthirira Meni chakumwa,
"But you who forsake Jehovah, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
12 ndidzakuperekani ku lupanga ngati nsembe, ndipo nonse mudzaphedwa; chifukwa simunayankhe pamene ndinakuyitanani, ndinayankhula koma simunamvere. Munachita zoyipa pamaso panga ndipo munasankha kuchita zoyipa zomwe sindikondwera nazo.”
I will destine you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
13 Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti, “Atumiki anga adzadya, koma inu mudzakhala ndi njala; atumiki anga adzamwa, koma inu mudzakhala ndi ludzu; atumiki anga adzakondwa, koma inu mudzakhala ndi manyazi.
Therefore thus says Jehovah, "Look, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; look, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; look, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be disappointed;
14 Atumiki anga adzayimba mosangalala, koma inu mudzalira kwambiri chifukwa chovutika mu mtima ndipo mudzalira mofuwula chifukwa mudzamva kuwawa mu mtima.
look, my servants shall sing in gladness of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for anguish of spirit.
15 Anthu anga osankhidwa adzatchula dzina lanu potemberera. Ambuye Yehova adzakuphani, koma atumiki ake adzawapatsa dzina lina.
You shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and Jehovah will kill you; but he will call his servants by another name:
16 Aliyense wopempha dalitso mʼdzikomo adzachita zimenezo kwa Mulungu woona; ndipo aliyense wochita malumbiro mʼdzikomo adzalumbira mwa Mulungu woona. Pakuti mavuto akale adzayiwalika ndipo adzachotsedwa pamaso panga.
so that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
17 “Taonani, ndikulenga mlengalenga mwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano. Zinthu zakale sizidzakumbukika, zidzayiwalika kotheratu.
"For, look, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 Koma inu mukhale osangalala ndi okondwa mpaka muyaya chifukwa cha zimene ndikulenga, pakuti ndikulenga Yerusalemu kukhala malo wosangalatsa ndipo anthu ake adzakhala achimwemwe.
But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, look, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 Ine ndidzakondwa chifuwa cha Yerusalemu ndipo ndidzasangalala chifukwa cha anthu anga. Kumeneko sikudzamvekanso kulira ndi mfuwu wodandaula.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.
20 “Ana sadzafa ali akhanda ndipo nkhalamba zonse zidzakwaniritsa zaka zawo zonse. Wamngʼono mwa iwo adzafa ali ndi zaka 100. Amene adzalephere kufika zaka 100 adzatengedwa kukhala wotembereredwa.
"There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child shall die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 Anthu adzamanga nyumba ndi kukhalamo, adzadzala mpesa ndipo adzadya zipatso zake.
They shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
22 Sadzamanganso nyumba anthu ena nʼkukhalamo, kapena kudzala ndi ena nʼkudya. Pakuti anthu anga adzakhala ndi moyo wautali ngati mitengo. Osankhidwa anga adzakondwera ndi ntchito ya manja awo nthawi yayitali.
They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 Sadzagwira ntchito pachabe kapena kubereka ana kuti aone tsoka; chifukwa adzakhala anthu odalitsidwa ndi Yehova, iwowo pamodzi ndi adzukulu awo omwe.
They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the descendants of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them.
24 Ndidzawayankha ngakhale asanathe nʼkupempha komwe. Pamene akuyankhula kumene Ine ndidzakhala nditamva kale.
It shall happen that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 Mʼmbulu ndi mwana wankhosa wamkazi zidzadyera pamodzi. Mkango udzadya udzu monga ngʼombe, koma fumbi ndiye chidzakhale chakudya cha njoka. Pa phiri langa lopatulika sipadzakhala chinthu chopweteka kapena chowononga,” akutero Yehova.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain," says Jehovah.
