Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.
Dzambatuka, dzambatuka iwe Ziyoni, vala zilimbe. Vala zovala zako zokongola, iwe Yerusalemu, mzinda wopatulika. Pakuti kuyambira tsopano anthu osachita mdulidwe ndi odetsedwa sadzalowanso pa zipata zako.
2 Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.
Sasa fumbi lako; imirira nukhale pa mpando waufumu, iwe Yerusalemu. Inu omangidwa a ku Ziyoni, masulani maunyolo amene ali mʼkhosi mwanumo.
3 For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”
Pakuti Yehova akuti, “Sindinalandirepo kanthu pamene ndinakugulitsani, choncho mudzawomboledwa wopanda ndalama.”
4 For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.
Pakuti Ambuye Yehova akuti, “Poyamba paja anthu anga anapita kukakhala ku Igupto; nawonso Asiriya awapondereza popanda chifukwa.”
5 And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.
Tsopano Ine Yehova ndikuti, “Kodi nditani pakuti anthu anga atengedwa ukapolo osaperekapo kanthu, amene amawalamulira amawanyoza,” akutero Yehova. “Ndipo tsiku lonse, akungokhalira kuchita chipongwe dzina langa.
6 Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”
Tsono tsiku limenelo anthu anga adzadziwa dzina langa; kotero adzadziwa kuti ndi Ine amene ndikuyankhula, Indedi, ndine.”
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Ngokongoladi mapazi a amithenga obweretsa nkhani yabwino amene akuyenda pa mapiri. Iwo akukubweretserani nkhani zabwino za mtendere, chisangalalo ndi chipulumutso. Iwo akubwera kudzawuza anthu a ku Ziyoni kuti, “Mulungu wako ndi mfumu!”
8 Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.
Mverani! Alonda anu akukweza mawu awo; akuyimba pamodzi mwachimwemwe. Popeza akuona chamaso kubwera kwa Yehova ku Yerusalemu.
9 Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.
Imbani pamodzi mofuwula nyimbo zachimwemwe, inu mabwinja a Yerusalemu, pakuti Yehova watonthoza mtima anthu ake, wapulumutsa Yerusalemu.
10 The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
Yehova wagwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zake zopatulika pamaso pa anthu a mitundu yonse, ndipo anthu onse a dziko lapansi adzaona chipulumutso cha Mulungu wathu.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.
Nyamukani, nyamukani, chokaniko ku Babuloniko! Musakhudze kanthu kodetsedwa! Inu amene mumanyamula ziwiya za Yehova tulukanimo ndipo mudziyeretse.
12 For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.
Koma simudzachoka mofulumira kapena kuchita chothawa; pakuti Yehova adzayenda patsogolo panu, Mulungu wa Israeli adzakutetezani kumbuyo kwanu.
13 Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Taonani, mtumiki wanga adzapambana pa ntchito yake adzakwezedwa ndi kulemekezedwa ndipo adzalandira ulemu waukulu kwambiri.
14 Just as many were appalled at Him — His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—
Anthu ambiri atamuona anadzidzimuka, chifukwa nkhope yake inali itasakazika; sinalinso ngati ya munthu. Ndipo thupi lake linasakazika; silinalinso ngati la munthu.
15 so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.
Momwemonso anthu a mitundu yonse adzadodoma naye, ndipo mafumu adzatseka pakamwa pawo kusowa chonena chifukwa cha iye. Pakuti zinthu zimene iwo sanawuzidwepo, adzaziona, ndipo zimene sanazimvepo, adzazimvetsa.
