< Esias 61 >
1 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me; he has sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind;
Mzimu wa Ambuye Yehova uli pa ine, chifukwa Yehova wandidzoza kuti ndilalikire uthenga wabwino kwa anthu osauka. Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze anthu osweka mtima, ndikalengeze kwa akapolo kuti alandire ufulu ndiponso kuti ndikamasule a mʼndende.
2 to declare the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of recompence; to comfort all that mourn;
Wandituma kuti ndikalengeze nthawi imene Yehova adzapulumutsa anthu ake; za tsiku limene Yehova adzalanga adani a anthu ake. Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze olira.
3 that there should be given to them that mourn in Sion glory instead of ashes, the oil of joy to the mourners, the garment of glory for the spirit of heaviness: and they shall be called generations of righteousness, the planting of the Lord for glory.
Wandituma kuti ndiwakonzere olira a ku Ziyoni, nkhata ya maluwa yokongola mʼmalo mwa phulusa, ndiwapatse mafuta achikondwerero mʼmalo mwa kulira. Ndiwapatse chovala cha matamando mʼmalo mwa mtima wopsinjika. Ndipo iwo adzatchedwa mitengo ya thundu yamphamvu yachilungamo, yoyidzala Yehova kuti Iye mwini apezemo ulemerero wake.
4 And they shall build the old waste places, they shall raise up those that were before made desolate, and shall renew the desert cities, [even] those that had been desolate for [many] generations.
Adzamanganso mabwinja akale a mzinda ndipo malo amene anawonongeka kalekale aja adzakonzanso. Adzakonzanso mizinda imene inapasuka, imene yakhala yowonongeka kwa nthawi yayitali kwambiri.
5 And strangers shall come and feed your flocks, and aliens [shall be your] ploughmen and vine-dressers.
Anthu achilendo adzakutumikirani; adzazidyetsa ziweto zanu; iwo adzagwira ntchito mʼminda yanu ya mpesa.
6 But you shall be called priests of the Lord, the ministers of God: you shall eat the strength of nations, and shall be admired because of their wealth.
Ndipo inu mudzatchedwa ansembe a Yehova, adzakutchulani kuti ndinu atumiki a Mulungu wathu. Mudzadyerera chuma cha mitundu ya anthu, ndipo mudzanyadira ulemu umene mwalandira.
7 Thus shall they inherit the land a second time, and everlasting joy shall be upon their head.
Chifukwa manyazi awo anali owirikiza; ndi kuti munalandira chitonzo ndi kutukwana, adzakondwera ndi cholowa chawo, tsono adzalandira cholowa chawo cha chigawo cha dziko mowirikiza, ndipo chimwemwe chamuyaya chidzakhala chawo.
8 For I am the Lord who love righteousness, and hate robberies of injustice; and I will give their labour to the just, and will make an everlasting covenant with them.
“Pakuti Ine Yehova, ndimakonda chilungamo; ndimadana ndi zakuba ndi zoyipa. Anthu anga ndidzawapatsa mphotho mokhulupirika ndikupangana nawo pangano losatha.
9 And their seed shall be known amongst the Gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of peoples: every one that sees them shall take notice of them, that they are a seed blessed of God;
Ana awo adzakhala odziwika pakati pa mitundu ya anthu ndipo adzukulu awo adzakhala otchuka pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Aliyense wowaona adzazindikira kuti ndi anthu amene Yehova wawadalitsa.”
10 and they shall greatly rejoice in the Lord. Let my soul rejoice in the Lord; for he has clothed me with the robe of salvation, and the garment of joy: he has put a mitre on me as on a bridegroom, and adorned me with ornaments as a bride.
Ine ndikusangalala kwambiri chifukwa cha Yehova; moyo wanga ukukondwera chifukwa cha Mulungu wanga. Pakuti Iye wandiveka zovala zachipulumutso, ndipo wandiveka mkanjo wachilungamo. Zili ngati mkwati wovala nkhata ya maluwa mʼkhosi mwake, ndiponso ngati mkwatibwi wovala mikanda yamtengowapatali.
11 And as the earth putting forth her flowers, and as a garden its seed; so shall the Lord, [even] the Lord, cause righteousness to spring forth, and exultation before all nations.
Monga momwe nthaka imameretsa mbewu ndiponso monga munda umakulitsa mbewu zimene anadzala, momwemonso Ambuye Yehova adzaonetsa chilungamo ndi matamando pamaso pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.
