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 heard those that made no supplication; I have been found by those who sought me not; I said, Here I am, here I am, To a people that called not upon my name.
2 Tsiku lonse ndatambasulira manja anga anthu owukira aja, amene amachita zoyipa, natsatira zokhumba zawo.
I have spread out my hands all the day To a rebellious people, That walketh in an evil way, According to their own devices;
3 Ndatambasulira manja anga anthu aja amene nthawi zonse amandikwiyitsa mopanda manyazi. Iwo amapereka nsembe mʼminda ndi kufukiza lubani pa maguwa ansembe a njerwa.
To a people that provoke me to my face continually; That sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense on tiles;
4 Amakatandala ku manda ndipo amakachezera usiku wonse kumalo obisika. Amadya nyama ya nkhumba, ndipo mʼmiphika mwawo muli msunzi wa nyama yodetsedwa.
That sit in sepulchres, And lodge in caverns; That eat swine's flesh, And have broth of unclean things 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 yet say: Stand by thyself! come not near to me, For I am holier than thou! These are a smoke in my nose, A fire that burneth continually.
6 “Taonani, ndatsimikiza kale mlandu ndi chilango chawo; sindidzakhala chete koma ndidzawalanga kwathunthu chifukwa cha machimo awo
Behold, it stands recorded before me; I will not keep silence, but will requite; I will requite it into their bosoms;
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 iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, Who burnt incense on the mountains, And dishonored me on the hills, I will pour the full recompense of their former deeds 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 saith Jehovah: As when juice is found in a cluster, Men say, “Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it”; So will I do, for the sake of my servants, and will not destroy the whole;
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.
I will cause a stem to spring forth from Jacob, And from Judah a possessor of my mountains; My chosen shall possess the land, 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.
And Sharon shall be a fold for flocks, And the valley of Achor a resting-place for herds, For my people that have sought me.
11 “Koma inu amene mumasiya Yehova ndi kuyiwala phiri langa lopatulika, amene munamukonzera Gadi chakudya ndi kuthirira Meni chakumwa,
But ye, who have forsaken Jehovah, And have forgotten my holy mountain, That prepare a table for Fortune, And fill the cup for 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.”
Yourselves do I destine to the sword, And all of you shall bow down before the slaughter; Because I called, and ye answered not, I spake, and ye would not hear, But did that which is evil in my sight, And chose that in which I had no 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, my servants shall eat, and ye shall be hungry; Behold, my servants shall drink, and ye shall be thirsty; Behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be confounded;
14 Atumiki anga adzayimba mosangalala, koma inu mudzalira kwambiri chifukwa chovutika mu mtima ndipo mudzalira mofuwula chifukwa mudzamva kuwawa mu mtima.
Behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, But ye shall shriek for sorrow of heart, And howl for anguish of spirit.
15 Anthu anga osankhidwa adzatchula dzina lanu potemberera. Ambuye Yehova adzakuphani, koma atumiki ake adzawapatsa dzina lina.
And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen, And the Lord Jehovah shall slay you; But his servants will he call 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.
Whoso blesseth himself in the land Shall bless by the true God; And he that sweareth in the land shall swear by the true God; For the former troubles are forgotten, And they are hid from mine eyes.
17 “Taonani, ndikulenga mlengalenga mwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano. Zinthu zakale sizidzakumbukika, zidzayiwalika kotheratu.
For behold! I create new heavens, and a new earth; The former ones shall not be remembered, Nor shall they be brought to mind any more.
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 ye shall be glad and exult forever In that which I create; For behold! 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.
And I will exult in Jerusalem, And rejoice in my people; No more shall be heard therein The voice of weeping and the cry of distress.
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 not be there an infant child, nor an old man, That hath not filled the measure of his years; For he that dieth a hundred years old shall die a youth, And the sinner dying a hundred years old shall be held accursed.
21 Anthu adzamanga nyumba ndi kukhalamo, adzadzala mpesa ndipo adzadya zipatso zake.
They shall build houses, and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them;
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, Yea, long shall my chosen 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 children for early death; For they are a race blessed by Jehovah, And their offspring shall remain to them.
24 Ndidzawayankha ngakhale asanathe nʼkupempha komwe. Pamene akuyankhula kumene Ine ndidzakhala nditamva kale.
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 food of the serpent. They shall not hurt, nor destroy, in all my holy mountain, Saith Jehovah.
