Isaiah 50
1 This is what the LORD says: “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Or to which of My creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold for your iniquities, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.
Yehova akuti, “Kalata imene ndinasudzulira amayi anu ili kuti? Kapena mwa anthu amene ndili nawo ngongole, ndinakugulitsani kwa ati? Inu munagulitsidwa ku ukapolo chifukwa cha machimo anu; amayi anu anachotsedwa chifukwa cha kulakwa kwanu.
2 Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.
Nʼchifukwa chiyani pamene ndinabwera kudzakupulumutsani panalibe munthu? Pamene ndinayitana, nʼchifukwa chiyani panalibe wondiyankha? Kodi dzanja langa ndi lalifupi kuti nʼkulephera kukuwombolani? Kodi ndilibe mphamvu zokupulumutsirani? Ndi kudzudzula kokha ndinawumitsa nyanja yayikulu, mitsinje ndinayisandutsa chipululu; nsomba za mʼmenemo zinawola chifukwa chosowa madzi; ndipo zinafa ndi ludzu.
3 I clothe the heavens in black and make sackcloth their covering.”
Ndinaphimba thambo ndi mdima ndipo chiguduli chinakhala chofunda chake.”
4 The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of discipleship, to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
Ambuye Yehova anandiphunzitsa mawu oyenera kuyankhula kudziwa mawu olimbitsa mtima anthu ofowoka. Mmawa mulimonse amandidzutsa, amathwetsa khutu langa kuti ndimve monga amachitira munthu amene akuphunzira.
5 The Lord GOD has opened My ears, and I have not been rebellious, nor have I turned back.
Ambuye Yehova wanditsekula makutu anga, ndipo sindinakhale munthu wowukira ndipo sindinabwerere mʼmbuyo.
6 I offered My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who tore out My beard. I did not hide My face from scorn and spittle.
Ndinapereka msana wanga kwa ondimenya masaya anga ndinawapereka kwa anthu ondizula ndevu; sindinawabisire nkhope yanga anthu ondinyoza ndi ondilavulira.
7 Because the Lord GOD helps Me, I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be put to shame.
Popeza Ambuye Yehova amandithandiza, sindidzachita manyazi. Tsono ndalimba mtima ngati msangalabwi, chifukwa ndikudziwa kuti sindidzachita manyazi.
8 The One who vindicates Me is near. Who will dare to contend with Me? Let us confront each other! Who has a case against Me? Let him approach Me!
Wondikhalira kumbuyo ali pafupi, ndaninso amene adzandiyimba mlandu? Abwere kuti tionane maso ndi maso! Mdani wanga ndi ndani? Abweretu kuti tilimbane!
9 Surely the Lord GOD helps Me. Who is there to condemn Me? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moths will devour them.
Ambuye Yehova ndiye amene amandithandiza. Ndaninso amene adzanditsutsa? Onse adzatha ngati chovala chodyedwa ndi njenjete.
10 Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.
Ndani mwa inu amaopa Yehova ndi kumvera mawu a mtumiki wake? Aliyense woyenda mu mdima, popanda chomuwunikira, iye akhulupirire dzina la Yehova ndi kudalira Mulungu wake.
11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who array yourselves with firebrands, walk in the light of your fire and of the firebrands you have lit! This is what you will receive from My hand: You will lie down in a place of torment.
Koma tsopano inu nonse amene mumasonkha moto ndi kuyatsa sakali za moto kufuna kuwononga anzanu, lowani mʼmoto wanu womwewo. Pitani mu sakali za moto zimene mwayatsa. Ndipo ine Yehova ndiye amene ndidzakugwetsereni mazunzowo.
