Yesaya 66
1 Yehova akuti, “Kumwamba ndi mpando wanga waufumu ndipo dziko lapansi ndilo chopondapo mapazi anga. Tsono nyumba ili kuti yomwe mundimangire, ndipo malo ali kuti amene inu mungandikonzere kuti ndizipumuliramo?
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build to me? and where [is] the place of my rest?
2 Kodi si manja anga amene anapanga zinthu zonsezi, motero zonsezi ndi zanga?” Akutero Yehova. “Koma munthu amene ndimakondwera naye ndi uyu: amene ali wodzichepetsa ndi wosweka mtima, ndipo amamvera mawu anga.
For all these [things] hath my hand made, and all these [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this man [will] I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
3 Koma aliyense amene amapereka nsembe ngʼombe yayimuna amaphanso munthu, ndipo aliyense amene amapereka mwana wankhosa, amaphanso galu. Aliyense amene amapereka nsembe chopereka cha chakudya amaperekanso magazi a nkhumba. Ndipo amene amafukiza lubani pa guwa lansembe la chikumbutso amapembedzanso fano. Popeza iwo asankha njira zawozawo, ndiponso kusangalatsidwa ndi zonyansa zawo.
He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as if he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4 Inenso ndawasankhira chilango chowawa ndipo ndidzabweretsa pa iwo zimene amaziopa zija. Pakuti pamene ndinawayitana palibe amene anayankha, pamene ndinayankhula palibe amene anatchera khutu. Anachita zoyipa pamaso panga ndi kusankha kuchita zimene zimandinyansa zija.”
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose [that] in which I delighted not.
5 Imvani mawu a Yehova, inu amene mumanjenjemera ndi mawu ake: “Abale anu amene amakudani, ndi kukuchotsani pakati pawo chifukwa cha dzina langa, amanena kuti, ‘Yehova alemekezeke kuti ife tione chimwemwe chanu!’ Koma ndi iwowo amene adzachite manyazi.
Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 Imvani mfuwu mu mzinda, imvani phokoso mʼNyumba ya Mulungu! Limenelo ndi liwu la Yehova, kulanga adani ake onse.
A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
7 “Mzinda uli ngati amayi apakati amene asanayambe kumva zowawa wachira kale; asanayambe kumva ululu, wabala kale mwana wamwamuna.
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a male child.
8 Ndani anamvapo zinthu zoterezi? Ndani anazionapo zinthu zoterezi? Kodi dziko nʼkupangika tsiku limodzi, kapena mtundu wa anthu nʼkubadwa tsiku limodzi? Komatu Ziyoni atangoyamba kumva zowawa nthawi yomweyo anabereka ana ake.
Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Kodi Ine ndingangofikitsa amayi apakati mpaka nthawi yake yochira, koma osalola kuti abaledi mwana?” akutero Yehova. “Kodi ndingatseke mimba pa nthawi yoti abeleke?” akutero Mulungu wako.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? saith thy God.
10 “Kondwera nayeni Yerusalemu ndipo musangalale chifukwa cha Iye, inu nonse amene mumakonda Yerusalemu, kondwera nayeni kwambiri, nonse amene mumamulira.
Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
11 Pakuti mudzagawana naye ulemerero wake ngati kuyamwa ndi kukhuta mkaka wambiri wa mʼmawere a chitonthozo chake.”
That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may draw milk, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
12 Yehova akuti, “Ndidzamupatsa mtendere ngati mtsinje wa madzi, ndiponso chuma cha anthu a mitundu ina ngati mtsinje wosefukira. Mudzakhala ngati mwana woyamwa amene amayi ake amunyamulira pambalipa, kapena kumufungata pa miyendo yake.
For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon [her] sides, and be dandled upon [her] knees.
13 Monga momwe amayi amasangalatsira mwana wawo, moteronso Ine ndidzakusangalatsani; ndipo mudzasangalala chifukwa cha Yerusalemu.”
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Mukadzaona zimenezi mitima yanu idzakondwera. Mudzabiriwira ngati udzu. Zimenezi zidzakulimbikitsani ndi kukupatsani moyo wamphamvu. Mudzadziwa kuti ndimathandiza amene amanditumikira ndi kuti ndimakwiyira adani anga.
And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known towards his servants, and [his] indignation towards his enemies.
15 Taonani, Yehova akubwera ngati moto, ndipo magaleta ake ali ngati kamvuluvulu; Iye adzaonetsa mkwiyo wake nadzalanga adani ake ndi malawi amoto.
For behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Pakuti Yehova adzalanga anthu onse ndi moto ndi lupanga, Yehova adzapha anthu ambiri.
For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 Yehova akuti, “Amene amadzipatula ndi kudziyeretsa okha kuti apite ku minda, ali ndi mtsogoleri awo, nʼkumadya nyama ya nkhumba, mbewa ndi zinthu zina zonyansa, onsewa adzafera limodzi.”
They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
18 “Ndipo Ine, chifukwa cha zochita zawo ndi maganizo awo, ndili pafupi kubwera kudzasonkhanitsa mitundu yonse ya anthu ndi ziyankhulo zonse. Iwo adzabwera ndi kuona ulemerero wanga.
For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19 “Ndidzayika chizindikiro pakati pawo, ndipo ndidzatumiza ena mwa iwowa amene anapulumuka kuti apite kwa anthu a mitundu ina inu ku Tarisisi, ku Libiya ndi ku Ludi (akatswiri a mauta) ku Tubala ndi Grisi, ndi ku mayiko akutali a mbali mwa nyanja amene sanamvepo za mbiri yanga kapena kuona ulemerero wanga. Iwo adzalalika za ulemerero wanga pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them to the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20 Ndipo adzabwera nawo abale anu onse ngati mphatso yopereka kwa Yehova kuchokera kwa anthu a mitundu yonse. Iwo adzakwera nawo kupita ku Yerusalemu, phiri langa loyera ku Yerusalemu monga nsembe kwa Yehova, atakwera akavalo, magaleta ndi ngolo, ndi pa abulu ndi ngamira,” akutero Yehova. “Adzabwera nawo ngati momwe Aisraeli amabwerera ndi zopereka zachakudya ku Nyumba ya Yehova mu ziwiya zoyeretsedwa monga mwa mwambo.
And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering to the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21 Ndipo ndidzasankha ena mwa iwonso kukhala ansembe ndi Alevi,” akutero Yehova.
And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith the LORD.
22 “Monga momwe mlengalenga mwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano zimene ndidzapanga zidzakhala mpaka muyaya pamaso panga, ndi chonchonso dzina lanu ndi zidzukulu zanu zidzakhalire.” Akutero Yehova.
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 “Anthu a mitundu yonse adzabwera kudzandipembedza ku Yerusalemu, pa chikondwerero chilichonse cha pokhala pa mwezi watsopano ndi tsiku la Sabata lililonse,” akutero Yehova.
And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
24 “Akamachoka adzaona mitembo ya anthu amene anandiwukira Ine. Mphutsi zawo sizidzafa, kapena moto wawo sudzazimitsidwa. Anthu a mitundu ina yonse powaona adzanyansidwa nawo.”
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh.
