Esias 26
1 In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
Tsiku limenelo anthu a mʼdziko la Yuda adzayimba nyimbo iyi. Tili ndi mzinda wolimba. Mulungu amawuteteza ndi zipupa ndi malinga.
2 Open you the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
Tsekulani zipata za mzinda kuti mtundu wolungama ndi wokhulupirika ulowemo.
3 supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on you, O Lord,
Inu mudzamupatsa munthu wa mtima wokhazikika mtendere weniweni.
4 they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
Mudalireni Yehova mpaka muyaya, chifukwa Yehova Mulungu ndiye Thanthwe losatha.
5 who have humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, you shall cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
Iye amatsitsa anthu amene amadziyika pamwamba, iye amagwetsa pansi mzinda wodzitukumula, amagumula makoma ake ndi kuwagwetsa pansi pa fumbi penipeni.
6 And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
Mapazi a anthu akuwupondereza, mapazi a anthu oponderezedwa, mapazi anthu osauka.
7 The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
Njira ya munthu wolungama ndi yosalaza, Inu Wolungamayo, mumasalaza njira ya wolungama.
8 For the way of the Lord is judgement: we have hoped in your name, and on the remembrance [of you],
Inde Yehova, timayenda mʼnjira zanu zolungama, ife timayembekezera Inu; mitima yathu imakhumba kukumbukira ndi kulemekeza dzina lanu.
9 which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks you very early in the morning, O God, for your commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, you that dwell upon the earth.
Moyo wanga umalakalaka Inu usiku wonse; nthawi yammawa ndimafunafuna Inu. Pamene muweruza dziko lapansi anthu amaphunzira kuchita chilungamo.
10 For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
Ngakhale mukomere mtima anthu oyipa, saphunzira chilungamo. Amachita zoyipa mʼdziko la chilungamo, ndipo sazindikira ululu wa Yehova.
11 O Lord, your arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
Inu Yehova, mwatukula dzanja lanu kuti muwalange, koma iwo sakuliona dzanjalo. Aloleni anthu aone ndi kuchita manyazi poona mmene mukondera anthu anu; ndipo moto umene mwasonkhera adani anu uwapsereze.
12 O Lord our God, give us peace: for you have rendered to us all things.
Yehova, mumatipatsa mtendere; ndipo zonse zimene ife tinazichita munatichitira ndinu.
13 O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside you: we name your name.
Inu Yehova Mulungu wathu, ngakhale takhala tikulamulidwa ndi ena mʼmalo mwanu, koma ife timalemekeza dzina lanu lokha.
14 But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore you have brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and have taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
Iwo tsopano sadzadzukanso; mizimu yawo sidzabwera kudzativutitsa pakuti mwawalanga ndipo mwawawononga; palibenso amene amawakumbukira.
15 bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
Inu Yehova, mwaukulitsa mtundu wathu; mwauchulukitsa ndithu ndipo mwalandirapo ulemu; mwaukuza mbali zonse za dziko.
16 Lord, in affliction I remembered you; your chastening was to us with small affliction.
Yehova, anthu anu anabwera kwa Inu pamene anali mʼmasautso; pamene munawalanga, iwo anapemphera kwa Inu.
17 And as a woman in travail draws near to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to your beloved.
Monga mayi woyembekezera pamene nthawi yake yobereka yayandikira amamva kupweteka ndipo amalira ndi ululu, ifenso tinali chimodzimodzi pamaso panu, Inu Yehova.
18 We have conceived, O Lord, because of your fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of your salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
Ife chimodzimodzi tinamva ululu, ngati mayi pa nthawi yobala mwana, koma sitinapindulepo kanthu, kapena kupulumutsa dziko lapansi; sitinabadwitse anthu atsopano pa dziko pano.
19 The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from you is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
Koma anthu anu amene anafa adzakhalanso ndi moyo; matupi awo adzadzuka. Iwo amene ali ku fumbi tsopano adzadzuka ndi kuyimba mosangalala. Monga mame amafewetsa pansi kutsitsimutsa zomera, momwenso Yehova adzaukitsa anthu amene anafa kale.
20 Go, my people, enter into your closets, shut your door, hide yourself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
Abale anga, pitani mukalowe mʼnyumba zanu ndipo mukadzitsekere; mukabisale kwa kanthawi kochepa mpaka ukali wake utatha.
21 For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
Taonani, Yehova akubwera kuchokera kumene amakhala; akubwera kudzalanga anthu a dziko lapansi chifukwa cha machimo awo. Dziko lapansi lidzawulula magazi amene anakhetsedwa pa dzikolo; dziko lapansi silidzabisanso mitembo ya anthu ophedwa.
