Esias 48
1 Hear these [words], you house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of Juda, who swear by the name of the Lord God of Israel, making mention [of it, but] not with truth, nor with righteousness;
“Mverani izi, inu nyumba ya Yakobo, inu amene amakutchani dzina lanu Israeli, ndinu a fuko la Yuda, inu mumalumbira mʼdzina la Yehova, ndi kupemphera kwa Mulungu wa Israeli, ngakhale osati mʼchoonadi kapena mʼchilungamo.
2 maintaining also the name of the holy city, and staying themselves on the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name. The former things I have already declared;
Komabe inu mumadzitcha nzika za mzinda wopatulika ndipo mumadalira Mulungu wa Israeli, amene dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse:
3 and they that have proceeded out of my mouth, and it became well known; I wrought suddenly, and [the events] came to pass.
Zimene zinachitika poyamba ndinalosera kalekale, zinatuluka mʼkamwa mwanga ndipo ndinazilengeza; tsono mwadzidzidzi ndinachitapo kanthu ndipo zinachitikadi.
4 I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead brazen.
Pakuti Ine ndinadziwa kuti iwe ndiwe nkhutukumve wa nkhongo gwaa, wa mutu wowuma.
5 And I told you of old what [should be] before it came upon you; I made it known to you, lest you should say, [My] idols have done [it] for me; and should say, [My] graven and molten images have commanded me.
Ine ndinakuwuziratu zinthu izi kalekale lomwe; zisanachitike ndinazilengezeratu kwa iwe kuti unganene kuti, ‘Fano langa ndilo lachita zimenezi, kapena kuti fano langa losema ndi kamulungu kanga kachitsulo ndiwo analamula kuti zimenezi zichitike.’
6 You have heard all this, but you have not known: yet I have made known to you the new things from henceforth, which are coming to pass, and you said not,
Inu munamva zinthu zimenezi. Kodi inu simungazivomereze? “Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mʼtsogolo ndidzakuwuzani zinthu zatsopano zinthu zobisika zimene simunazidziwe konse.
7 Now they come to pass, and not formerly: and you heard not of them in former days: say not you, Yes, I know them.
Zinthu zimenezi zikulengedwa tsopano lino, osati kalekale; munali musanazimve mpaka lero lino. Choncho inu simunganene kuti, ‘Zimenezi ndiye ayi, ndinazidziwa kale.’
8 You have neither known, nor understood, neither from the beginning have I opened your ears: for I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and would be called a transgressor even from the womb.
Inu simunazimvepo kapena kuzidziwa; makutu anu sanali otsekuka. Tsono Ine ndinadziwa bwino kuti ndinu anthu achiwembu ndi kuti chiyambire ubwana wanu munatchedwa owukira.
9 For mine own sake will I show you my wrath, and will bring before you my glorious acts, that I may not utterly destroy you.
Ine ndikuchedwetsa mkwiyo wanga chifukwa cha dzina langa. Ndikukulezerani ukali wanga kuti anthu andilemekeze. Sindidzakuwonongani kotheratu.
10 Behold, I have sold you, [but] not for silver; but I have rescued you from the furnace of affliction.
Taonani, ndinakuyeretsani ngati siliva; ndinakuyesani mʼngʼanjo yamasautso.
11 For mine own sake I will do [this] for you, because my name is profaned; and I will not give my glory to another.
Chifukwa cha ulemu wanga, chifukwa cha ulemu wanga Ine ndikuchita zimenezi. Ndingalole bwanji kuti ndinyozeke? Ulemerero wanga sindidzawupereka kwa wina.
12 Hear me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call; I am the first, and I endure for ever.
“Tamvera Ine, iwe Yakobo, Israeli, amene ndinakuyitana: Mulungu uja Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza ndine.
13 My hand also has founded the earth, and my right hand has fixed the sky: I will call them, and they shall stand together.
Inde dzanja langa linamanga maziko a dziko lapansi, dzanja langa lamanja linafunyulula mlengalenga. Ndi mawu anga ndinalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.
14 And all shall be gathered, and shall hear: who has told them these things? Out of love to you I have fulfilled your desire on Babylon, to abolish the seed of the Chaldeans.
“Sonkhanani pamodzi inu nonse ndipo mvetserani: Ndani mwa mafano anu amene analoseratu za zinthu izi? Wokondedwa wa Yehova uja adzachita zomwe Iye anakonzera Babuloni; dzanja lake lidzalimbana ndi Kaldeya.
15 I have spoken, I have called, I have brought him, and made his way prosperous.
Ine, Inetu, ndayankhula; ndi kumuyitana ndidzamubweretsa ndine ndipo adzakwaniritsa zolinga zake.
16 Draw near to me, and hear you these words; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: when it took place, there was I, and now the Lord, [even] the Lord, and his Spirit, has sent me.
“Bwerani pafupi ndipo mvetserani izi: “Kuyambira pachiyambi sindinayankhule mobisa; pa nthawi imene zinkachitika zimenezi Ine ndinali pomwepo.” Ndipo tsopano Ambuye Yehova wandipatsa Mzimu wake ndi kundituma.
17 Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the Holy One of Israel; I am your God, I have shown you how you should find the way wherein you should walk.
Yehova, Mpulumutsi wanu, Woyerayo wa Israeli akuti, “Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndimakuphunzitsa kuti upindule, ndimakutsogolera pa njira yoyenera kuyitsata.
18 And if you had listened to my commandments, [then] would your peace have been like a river, and your righteousness as a wave of the sea.
Ngati iwe ukanangosamalira zolamulira zanga, bwenzi mtendere wako ukanakhala ngati mtsinje, ndi chipulumutso chako ngati mafunde a pa nyanja.
19 Your seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your belly as the dust of the ground: neither now shall you by any means be utterly destroyed, neither shall your name perish before me.
Zidzukulu zako zikanachuluka ngati mchenga, ana ako akanachuluka ngati fumbi; dzina lawo silikanachotsedwa pamaso panga ndipo silikanafafanizidwa konse.”
20 Go forth of Babylon, you that flee from the Chaldeans: utter aloud a voice of joy, and let this be made known, proclaim it to the end of the earth; say you, The Lord has delivered his servant Jacob.
Tulukani mʼdziko la Babuloni! Thawani dziko la Kaldeya! Lengezani zimenezi ndi mawu a chisangalalo ndipo muzilalikire mpaka kumathero a dziko lapansi; muzinena kuti, “Yehova wawombola Yakobo mtumiki wake.”
21 And if they shall thirst, he shall lead them through the desert; he shall bring forth water to them out of the rock: the rock shall be cloven, and the water shall flow forth, and my people shall drink.
Iwo sanamve ludzu pamene Yehova ankawatsogolera mʼchipululu; anawapatsa madzi otuluka mʼthanthwe; anangʼamba thanthwelo ndipo munatuluka madzi.
22 There is no joy, says the Lord, to the ungodly.
“Palibe mtendere kwa anthu ochimwa,” akutero Yehova.
