Esias 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, the flower that has fallen from the glory of the top of the fertile mountain, they that are drunken without wine.
Tsoka ufumu wonyada wa zidakwa za ku Efereimu. Tsoka kwa ulemerero wake wokongola umene ukufota ngati duwa limene lili pa mutu pa anthu oledzera a mʼchigwa chachonde.
2 Behold, the anger of the Lord is strong and severe, as descending hail where there is no shelter, violently descending; as a great body of water sweeping away the soil, he shall make rest for the land.
Taonani, ambuye ali naye wina wamphamvu ndi nyonga. Iye adzabwera ngati mkuntho wamatalala ndi namondwe wowononga, ngati madzi amphamvu osefukira a mvula yamkuntho; ndipo adzawagwetsa pansi mwankhanza.
3 The crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, shall be beaten down with the hands and with the feet.
Ulamuliro wa atsogoleri oledzera a ku Efereimu adzawuthetsa.
4 And the fading flower of the glorious hope on the top of the high mountain shall be as the early fig; he that sees it, before he takes it into his hand, will desire to swallow it down.
Ndipo ulemerero wokongola wa mzinda umene uli ngati duwa lofota pamutu pa anthu oledzera a mʼchigwa chachonde uja, udzakhala ngati nkhuyu yoyambirira kupsa imene munthu akangoyiona amayithyola nthawi yokolola isanakwane.
5 In that day the Lord of hosts shall be the crown of hope, the woven [crown] of glory, to the remnant of the people.
Tsiku limenelo Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzakhala ngati nkhata yaufumu, chipewa chokongola kwa anthu ake otsala.
6 They shall be left in the spirit of judgement for judgement, and for the strength of them that hinder slaying.
Iye adzapereka mtima wachilungamo kwa oweruza, adzakhala chilimbikitso kwa amene amabweza adani pa zipata za mzinda.
7 For these have trespassed through wine; they have erred through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are mad through strong drink, they are swallowed up by reason of wine, they have staggered through drunkenness; they have erred: this is [their] vision.
Nawonso awa ali dzandidzandi chifukwa cha vinyo ndipo akusochera chifukwa cha mowa: ansembe ndi aneneri akudzandira chifukwa cha mowa ndipo akusokonezeka chifukwa cha vinyo; akusochera chifukwa cha mowa, akudzandira pamene akuona masomphenya, kupunthwa pamene akupereka chigamulo.
8 A curse shall devour this counsel, for this [is their] counsel for the sake of covetousness.
Pa matebulo onse pali masanzi okhaokha ndipo palibenso malo wopanda zonyansa.
9 To whom have we reported evils? and to whom have we reported a message? [even to those] that are weaned from the milk, who are drawn from the breast.
Iwo akuti, “Kodi munthu ameneyu akufuna aphunzitse ndani? Uthengawu akufuna kufotokozera yani? Ndi kwa ana amene aleka kuyamwa, kwa makanda ongowachotsa kumene ku bere?
10 Expect you affliction on affliction, hope upon hope: yet a little, [and] yet a little,
Akuyesa kumatiphunzitsa pangʼonopangʼono lemba ndi lemba, mzere ndi mzere, phunziro ndi phunziro. Zonsezi akungoti apa pangʼono apa pangʼono.”
11 by reason of the contemptuous [words] of the lips, by means of another language: for they shall speak to this people, saying to them,
Mulungu adzayankhula kwa anthu ake kudzera mwa anthu aziyankhulo zachilendo, ziyankhulo zosamveka bwino. Mulungu adzayankhula kwa anthu awa, amene
12 This is the rest to him that is hungry, and this is the calamity: but they would not hear.
anakuwuzani kuti, “Malo opumulira ndi ano, otopa apumule, malo owusira ndi ano.” Koma inu simunamvere.
13 Therefore the oracle of God shall be to them affliction on affliction, hope on hope, yet a little, [and] yet a little, that they may go and fall backward; and they shall be crushed and shall be in danger, and shall be taken.
Choncho Yehova adzakuphunzitsani pangʼonopangʼono lemba ndi lemba, mzere ndi mzere, phunziro ndi phunziro. Kotero mudzayenda ndi kugwa chambuyo, adzapweteka ndi kukodwa mu msampha ndipo adzakutengani ku ukapolo.
14 Therefore hear you the word of the Lord, you afflicted men, and you princes of this people that is in Jerusalem.
Nʼchifukwa chake imvani mawu a Yehova, inu anthu achipongwe amene mumalamulira anthu awa mu Yerusalemu.
15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us: we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected: (Sheol h7585)
Inu mumayankhula monyada kuti, “Ife tinachita pangano ndi imfa, ife tachita mgwirizano ndi manda. Pamene mliri woopsa ukadzafika sudzatikhudza ife, chifukwa timadalira bodza ngati pothawirapo pathu ndi chinyengo ngati malo anthu obisalapo.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus says the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations of Sion a costly stone, a choice, a corner-stone, a precious [stone], for its foundations; and he that believes [on him] shall by no means be ashamed.
Tsono zimene Ambuye Yehova akunena ndi izi: “Taonani, ndikuyika mwala wovomerezeka ndi amisiri ngati maziko mu Ziyoni, mwala wapangodya, wamtengowapatali wopanga maziko amphamvu; munthu amene awukhulupirira sadzagwedezeka.
17 And I will cause judgement [to be] for hope, and my compassion shall be for [just] measures, and you that trust vainly in falsehood [shall fall]: for the storm shall by no means pass by you,
Ntchito zolungama zidzakhala ngati chingwe choyezera maziko ake, ndipo chilungamo chidzakhala chowongolera mzere; matalala adzawononga malo anu othawirapo, amene ndi mabodza, ndipo madzi adzamiza malo anu obisalako.
18 except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in Hades shall by no means stand: if the rushing storm should come upon you, you shall be beaten down by it. (Sheol h7585)
Pangano limene munachita ndi imfa lidzathetsedwa; mgwirizano wanu ndi manda udzachotsedwa. Pakuti mliri woopsa udzafika, ndipo udzakugonjetsani. (Sheol h7585)
19 Whenever it shall pass by, it shall take you; morning by morning it shall pass by in the day, and in the night there shall be an evil hope. Learn to hear,
Ndipo ukadzangofika udzakutengani. Udzafika mmawa uliwonse, usiku ndi usana.” Anthu akadzamvetsetsa uthenga umenewu adzaopsedwa kwambiri.
20 you that are distressed; we can’t fight, but we are ourselves too weak for you to be gathered.
Mudzakhala ngati munthu wogona pa bedi lalifupi kwambiri kuti sangathe kutambalitsapo miyendo; ndiponso mudzakhala ngati munthu amene wafunda bulangeti lochepa kwambiri kuti sangathe nʼkufunda komwe.
21 The Lord shall rise up as a mountain of ungodly [men], and shall be in the valley of Gabaon; he shall perform his works with wrath, [even] a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange.
Yehova adzamenya nkhondo monga anachitira ku phiri la Perazimu adzakalipa monga anachitira ku chigwa cha Gibiyoni; adzagwira ntchito yake yooneka ngati yachilendo, ndipo zimene ati adzachite zidzakhala ngati zodabwitsa.
22 Therefore do not you rejoice, neither let your bands be made strong; for I have heard of works finished and cut short by the Lord of hosts, which he will execute upon all the earth.
Tsopano lekani kunyoza, mukapanda kutero maunyolo anu adzakuthinani kwambiri; Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wandiwuza kuti, “Ndagamula kuti ndidzawononga dziko lapansi.”
23 Listen, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my words.
Tcherani khutu ndipo mumve mawu anga; mvetserani ndipo mumve zimene ndikunena.
24 Will the ploughman plough all the day? or will he prepare the seed beforehand, before he tills the ground?
Kodi mlimi wofuna kudzala mbewu amangokhalira kutipula kokhakokha? Kodi amangokhalira kugawula ndi kugalawuza kokhakokha?
25 Does he not, when he has levelled the surface thereof, then sow the small black poppy, or cumin, and afterward sow wheat, and barley, and millet, and bread-corn in your borders?
Pamene iye wasalaza mundawo, kodi samafesa mawere ndi chitowe? Kodi suja samadzala tirigu ndi barele mʼmizere yake, nadzala mchewere mʼphepete mwa mundawo?
26 So you shall be chastened by the judgement of your God, and shall rejoice.
Mulungu wake amamulangiza ndi kumuphunzitsa njira yabwino.
27 For the black poppy is not cleansed with harsh treatment, nor will a wagon-wheel pass over the cumin; but the black poppy is threshed with a rod, and the cumin shall be eaten with bread;
Mawere sapunthira chopunthira cha galeta lopanda mikombero, kapena chitowe sapuntha popondetsapo mikombero ya galeta; mawere amapuntha ndi ndodo ndipo chitowe amapuntha ndi kamtengo.
28 for I will not be angry with you for ever, neither shall the voice of my anger crush you.
Tirigu ayenera kusinjidwa kuti apangire buledi, komabe munthu samangokhalira kupuntha tiriguyo osalekeza, kuopa kuti angatekedzeke. Ngakhale kuti amapuntha tiriguyo poyendetsapo mikombero ya galeta, koma akavalo ake satekedza tiriguyo.
29 And these signs came forth from the Lord of hosts. Take counsel, exalt vain comfort.
Izinso zimachokera kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, wa uphungu wodabwitsa ndi wa nzeru zopambana.
