Esias 55
1 You that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go [and] buy; and eat [and drink] wine and fat without money or price.
“Bwerani, inu nonse amene muli ndi ludzu, bwerani madzi alipo; ndipo inu amene mulibe ndalama bwerani, mudzagule chakudya kuti mudye! Bwerani mudzagule vinyo ndi mkaka osalipira ndalama, osalipira chilichonse.
2 Therefore do you value at the price of money, and [give] your labour for that which will not satisfy? listen to me, and you shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.
Chifukwa chiyani ndalama zanu mukuwonongera zinthu zimene samadya, ndipo mukuwononga malipiro anu pa zinthu zimene sizikhutitsa? Tamverani, mvetsetsani zimene ndikunena kuti mudye zimene zili zabwino; ndipo mudzisangalatse.
3 Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: listen to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.
Tcherani makutu ndipo mubwere kwa Ine; mvereni Ine, kuti mukhale ndi moyo. Ndidzachita nanu pangano losatha, chikondi changa chija chosasinthika ndi chodalirika ndinalonjeza Davide.
4 Behold I have made him a testimony amongst the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.
Taonani, ine ndamusankha kuti akhale mboni yanga kwa mitundu ya anthu, kuti akhale mtsogoleri ndi wolamulira mitundu ya anthu.
5 Nations which know you not, shall call upon you, and peoples which are not acquainted with you, shall flee to you for refuge, for the sake of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
Ndithu inu mudzayitanitsa mitundu ya anthu imene simuyidziwa, ndipo mitundu ya anthu imene sikudziwani idzabwera ndi liwiro kwa inu. Izi zidzatero chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, Woyerayo wa Israeli, wakuvekani ulemerero.”
6 Seek you the Lord, and when you find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,
Funafunani Yehova pamene Iye akupezeka. Mupemphere kwa Iye pamene ali pafupi.
7 let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels: and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for he shall abundantly pardon your sins.
Woyipa asiye makhalidwe ake oyipa, ndipo wosalungama asinthe maganizo ake oyipa. Abwerere kwa Yehova, ndipo adzamuchitira chifundo, ndi kwa Mulungu wathu, pakuti adzamukhululukira koposa.
8 For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.
“Pakuti maganizo anga siwofanana ndi maganizo anu, ngakhale njira zanu si njira zanga,” akutero Yehova.
9 But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.
“Monga momwe mlengalenga muli kutali ndi dziko lapansi, momwemonso zochita zanga nʼzolekana kutali ndi zochita zanu, ndipo maganizo anga ndi osiyana kutali ndi maganizo anu.
10 For as rain shall come down, or snow, from heaven, and shall not return until it have saturated the earth, and it bring forth, and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food:
Monga mvula ndi chisanu chowundana zimatsika kuchokera kumwamba, ndipo sizibwerera komweko koma zimathirira dziko lapansi. Ndipo zimameretsa ndi kukulitsa zomera kenaka nʼkupatsa mlimi mbewu ndi chakudya.
11 so shall my word be, whatever shall proceed out of my mouth, it shall by no means turn back, until all the things which I willed shall have been accomplished; and I will make your ways prosperous, and [will effect] my commands.
Ndi mmenenso amachitira mawu ochokera mʼkamwa mwanga. Sadzabwerera kwa Ine kopanda phindu lake, koma adzachita zonse zimene ndifuna, ndipo adzakwaniritsa cholinga chimene ndinawatumira.
12 For you shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.
Inu mudzatuluka mu mzindawo mwachimwemwe ndipo adzakutsogolerani mwamtendere; mapiri ndi zitunda zidzakuyimbirani nyimbo, ndipo mitengo yonse yamʼthengo idzakuwombereni mʼmanja.
13 And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle: and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.
Mʼmalo mʼmene tsopano muli mitengo ya minga mudzamera mitengo ya payini, ndipo kumene kuli mkandankhuku kudzamera mchisu. Zimenezi zidzakhala chikumbutso cha Yehova, ngati chizindikiro chamuyaya, chimene sichidzafafanizika konse.”
