< Esias 22 >

1 THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?
Uthenga wonena za Chigwa cha Masomphenya: Kodi chachitika nʼchiyani, kuti nonsenu mukwere pa madenga?
2 The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died in battle.
Iwe mzinda wodzaza ndi chisangalalo chodzaza tsaya, iwe mzinda waphokoso ndi wosokonekera? Anthu ako ophedwa aja sanaphedwe ndi lupanga, kapena kufera pa nkhondo.
3 All your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have fled far away.
Atsogoleri ako onse ngakhale anathawa limodzi; koma anagwidwa osadziteteza nʼkomwe. Inu munapezeka ndipo nonse pamodzi munatengedwa ukapolo, ngakhale munathawa pamene mdani akanali patali.
4 Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndinati, “Chokani pamaso panga; ndilekeni ndilire ndi mtima wowawa. Musayesere kunditonthoza chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa anthu anga.”
5 For [it is] a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.
Lero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse walola kuti tione mavuto ndi kugonjetsedwa ndiponso chisokonezo mʼChigwa cha Masomphenya. Malinga agumuka, komanso anthu akanalira mofuwula ku mapiri.
6 And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.
Ankhondo a ku Elamu anadza pa magaleta ndi akavalo ali ndi mivi mʼmanja. Ankhondo a ku Kiri anakonzeka ndi zishango.
7 And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates.
Zigwa zanu zachonde ndi zodzaza ndi magaleta, ndipo asilikali okwera pa akavalo ayikidwa pa zipata za mzinda;
8 And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.
zonse zoteteza Yuda zachotsedwa. Ndipo tsiku limenelo munayangʼanayangʼana zida zankhondo zomwe zinali mʼnyumba yaufumu ya nkhalango;
9 And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city;
inu munaona kuti makoma ambiri a mzinda wa Davide anali ndi malo ambiri ogumuka; munasunga madzi mu chidziwe chakumunsi.
10 and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.
Munawerenga nyumba zonse za mu Yerusalemu ndipo munagwetsa nyumba zina kuti mulimbitse linga logumuka lija.
11 And you procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.
Pakati pa makoma awiri munamanga chitsime chosungiramo madzi ochokera ku dziwe lakale, koma inu simunadalire Mulungu amene anapanga zimenezi, kapena kusamalako za Iye amene anazilenga kale lomwe.
12 And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:
Pa tsiku limenelo, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse anakuyitanani kuti mulire ndi kukhetsa misozi; kumeta mutu wanu mpala ndi kuvala ziguduli.
13 but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
Koma mʼmalo mwake inu munakondwa ndi kusangalala; munapha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa; munadya nyama ndi kumwa vinyo. Inu mumati, “Tiyeni tidye ndi kumwa pakuti mawa tifa!”
14 And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you die.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wandiwululira mondinongʼoneza kuti, “Tchimo limeneli sindidzakhululuka mpaka tsiku la kufa kwanu,” akutero Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
15 Thus says the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here?
Chimene Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Pita, ukanene kwa Sabina kapitawo, amene amayangʼanira nyumba yaufumu:
16 and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling in the rock?
Kodi ukuchita chiyani kuno, nanga ndani anakupatsa chilolezo kuti udzikumbire manda kuno, kudzikumbira manda pa phiri ndi kudzisemera malo opumulira mʼthanthwe?
17 Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown,
“Samalira, Yehova watsala pangʼono kukugwira zolimba ndi kukuponya mwamphamvu, iwe munthu wamphamvu.
18 and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down.
Iye adzakukulunga kwambiri ngati mpira ndipo adzakuponyera mʼdziko lalikulu. Kumeneko ndiko ukafere ndipo kumeneko ndiko kudzatsalire magaleta ako. Ndipo udzasanduka wochititsa manyazi nyumba ya mbuye wako.
19 And you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place.
Ine ndidzakuchotsa pa ukapitawo wako ndipo ndidzakutsitsa pa udindo wako.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:
“Tsiku limenelo ndidzayitanitsa mtumiki wanga, Eliyakimu mwana wa Hilikiya.
21 and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.
Ndidzamuveka mkanjo wako ndi kumangira lamba wako mʼchiwuno mwake ndi kumupatsa ulamuliro wako. Iye adzakhala kholo la amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu ndiponso a fuko la Yuda.
22 And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him the key of the house of David [upon] his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open.
Ndidzamupatsa ulamuliro wa banja la Davide. Adzatsekula ndipo palibe adzatseke, adzatseka popanda wina kutsekula.
23 And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father's house.
Ufumu wake udzakhala wokhazikika ngati chikhomo chokhomedwa pa malo olimba. Anthu adzalemekeza nyumba ya abale ake chifukwa cha iye.
24 And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day.
Ana ndi abale a nyumba ya abambo ake adzakhala ngati katundu pa iye ngati ziwiya zopanda ntchito zimene zapachikidwa pa chikhomo.
25 Thus says the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it.
“Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akunena kuti, ‘Tsiku limeneli chikhomo chokhomedwa kwambiri chija sichidzalimbanso; chidzazuka ndipo chidzagwa ndipo zonse zopachikidwa zidzawonongedwa.’” Yehova wayankhula chomwechi.
