Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that make wicked laws: and when they write, write injustice:
Tsoka kwa anthu amene amapanga malamulo opanda chilungamo, kwa iwo amene amalemba zongovutitsa anzawo,
2 To oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people: that widows might be their prey, and that they might rob the fatherless.
kuwalanda anthu osauka ufulu wawo ndi kumana chilungamo osautsidwa pakati pa anthu anga, amalanda zinthu za akazi amasiye ndi kubera ana amasiye.
3 What will you do in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
Kodi mudzatani pa tsiku la chilango, pofika chiwonongeko chochokera kutali? Kodi mudzathawira kwa yani kuti akuthandizeni? Nanga chuma chanu mudzachisiya kuti?
4 That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Kudzatsala nʼkungozolika mwamanyazi pakati pa anthu ogwidwa kapena kufa pamodzi ndi ophedwa. Komabe pa zonsezi mkwiyo wake sunawachokere, mkono wake uli chitambasulire.
5 Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands.
“Tsoka kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya, chikwapu cha mkwiyo wanga, iye ndiye ndodo ya mkwiyo wanga!
6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Ndidzamutuma kukalimbana ndi mtundu wosapembedza Mulungu, ndidzamutumiza kukalimbana ndi anthu amene amandikwiyitsa Ine, kukafunkha ndi kulanda chuma, ndi kuwapondereza pansi ngati matope a mʼmisewu.
7 But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
Koma izi si zimene akufuna kukachita, izi si zimene zili mʼmaganizo mwake; cholinga chake ndi kukawononga, kukapulula mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
8 For he shall say:
Iye akuti, ‘Kodi atsogoleri anga ankhondo si mafumu okhaokha?’
9 Are not my princes as so many kings? is not Calano as Charcamis: and Emath as Arphad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
‘Kodi Kalino sanagonjetsedwe monga Karikemesi? Kodi Hamati sali ngati Aripadi, nanga Samariya sali ngati Damasiko?
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idol, so also their idols of Jerusalem, and of Samaria.
Dzanja langa linakantha maufumu a anthu opembedza mafano, mafumu amene mafano awo ndi aakulu kupambana Yerusalemu ndi Samariya;
11 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
nanga Ine nʼkulephera kodi kuwononga Yerusalemu pamodzi ndi mafano ake monga ndinakanthira Samariya pamodzi ndi mafano ake?’”
12 And it shall come to pass, that when the Lord shall have performed all his works in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, I will visit the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
Ambuye akadzamaliza ntchito yonse yolanga phiri la Ziyoni ndi Yerusalemu adzalanganso mfumu ya ku Asiriya chifukwa cha kudzitama ndi kunyada kwake.
13 For he hath said: By the strength of my own hand I have done it, and by my own wisdom I have understood: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have taken the spoils of the princes, and as a mighty man hath pulled down them that sat on high.
Pakuti mfumuyo ikuti, “‘Ndachita zimenezi ndi dzanja langa, ndiponso ndi nzeru zanga, chifukwa ndine wozindikira zinthu. Ndinachotsa malire a mitundu ya anthu, ndinafunkha chuma chawo; ndinagonjetsa mafumu awo monga munthu wamphamvu.
14 And my hand hath found the strength of the people as a nest; and as eggs are gathered, that are left, so have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or made the least noise.
Dzanja langa lagwira chuma cha mitundu ya anthu ngati momwe munthu amagwirira chisa cha mbalame, ngati momwe anthu amatolera mazira osiyidwa, motero inenso ndinasonkhanitsa mayiko onse; palibe mbalame imene inakupiza mapiko ake, kapena kuyasama kukamwa kuti ilire.’”
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that cutteth with it? or shall the saw exalt itself against him by whom it is drawn? as if a rod should lift itself up against him that lifteth it up, and a staff exalt itself, which is but wood.
Kodi nkhwangwa ingathe kudzikuza kupambana woyigwiritsa ntchito, kapena macheka angathe kudzikuza kupambana wowagwiritsa ntchito? Ndiye kukhala ngati kuti chikwapu chikuzunguza munthu amene wachinyamula, kapena ngati kuti ndodo ikuopseza amene wayinyamula!
16 Therefore the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones: and under his glory shall be kindled a burning, as it were the burning of a fire.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzatumiza matenda owondetsa kwa ankhondo amphamvu; kunyada kwa mfumuyo kudzapsa ndi moto wosazima.
17 And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame: and his thorns and his briers shall be set on fire, and shall be devoured in one day.
Mulungu, Kuwala kwa Israeli, adzakhala ngati moto, Woyera uja wa Israeli adzakhala ngati malawi a moto. Motowo udzawatentha ndi kuwapsereza ngati minga ndi mkandankhuku pa tsiku limodzi.
18 And the glory of his forest, and of his beautiful hill, shall be consumed from the soul even to the flesh, and he shall run away through fear.
Ankhondo ake adzawonongedwa ngati nkhalango yayikulu ndi ngati nthaka yachonde.
19 And they that remain of the trees of his forest shall be so few, that they shall easily be numbered, and a child shall write them down.
Mitengo yotsalira ya mʼnkhalango zake idzakhala yochepa kwambiri, yoti ndi mwana yemwe ndi kuyiwerenga.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that shall escape of the house of Jacob, shall lean no more upon him that striketh them: but they shall lean upon the Lord the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Tsiku limenelo otsalira a ku Israeli, opulumuka a nyumba ya Yakobo, sadzadaliranso anthu amene anawakantha, koma adzadalira Yehova, Woyerayo wa Israeli.
21 The remnant shall be converted, the remnant, I say, of Jacob, to the mighty God.
Otsalira adzabwerera, otsalira a Yakobo adzabwerera kwa Mulungu Wamphamvu.
22 For if thy people, O Israel, shall be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be converted, the consumption abridged shall overflow with justice.
Iwe Israeli, ngakhale anthu ako achuluke ngati mchenga wa ku nyanja, otsala okha ndiwo adzabwerere. Chiwonongeko chalamulidwa, chidzaonetsa chilungamo chosefukira.
23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, and an abridgment in the midst of all the land.
Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawononga ndithu dziko lonse monga momwe analamulira.
24 Therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: O my people that dwellest in Sion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall strike thee with his rod, and he shall lift up his staff over thee in the way of Egypt.
Nʼchifukwa chake, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akunena kuti, “Inu anthu anga okhala mu Ziyoni, musawaope Asiriya, amene amakukanthani ndi ndodo nakumenyani ndi zibonga monga mmene Igupto anachitira.
25 For yet a little and a very little while, and my indignation shall cease, and my wrath shall be upon their wickedness.
Patsala pangʼonongʼono kuti mkwiyo wanga uchoke pa inu ndipo ndidzaonetsa ukali wanga pa iwo mpaka kuwawononga.”
26 And the Lord of hosts shall raise up a scourge against him, according to the slaughter of Madian in the rock of Oreb, and his rod over the sea, and he shall lift it up in the way of Egypt.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawakwapula ndi chikwapu, monga momwe anakwapulira Amidiyani ku thanthwe la Orebu; ndipo adzatukula ndodo yake pa madzi ndikuwalanga monga analangira Igupto pa nyanja.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall putrify at the presence of the oil.
Tsiku limenelo katundu wawo adzachotsedwa pa mapewa anu, goli lawo lidzachoka mʼkhosi mwanu; golilo lidzathyoka chifukwa cha kunenepa kwambiri.
28 He shall come into Aiath, he shall pass into Magron: at Machmas he shall lay up his carriages.
Adani alowa mu Ayati apyola ku Migironi; asunga katundu wawo ku Mikimasi.
29 They have passed in haste, Gaba is our lodging: Rama was astonished, Gabaath of Saul fled away.
Adutsa pa mpata uja, ndipo akuti, “Tikagona ku Geba” Rama akunjenjemera; Gibeya, mzinda wa Saulo ukuthawa.
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim, attend, O Laisa, poor Anathoth.
Lilani mokweza, inu anthu a ku Galimu! Tchera khutu, iwe Laisa! Iwe Anatoti wosauka!
31 Medemena is removed: ye inhabitants of Gabim, take courage.
Anthu a ku Madimena akuthawa; anthu a ku Gebimu bisalani.
32 It is yet day enough, to remain in Nobe: he shall shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Sion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Lero lomwe lino adaniwo adzayima ku Nobu; adzagwedeza mikono yawo, kuopseza anthu a ku Ziyoni, pa phiri la Yerusalemu.
33 Behold the sovereign Lord of hosts shall break the earthen vessel with terror, and the tall of stature shall be cut down, and the lofty shall be humbled.
Taonani, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, adzadula mwamphamvu nthambi za mitengo, mitengo yodzikweza idzadulidwa, mitengo yayitali idzagwetsedwa.
34 And the thickets of the forest shall be cut down with iron, and Libanus with its high ones shall fall.
Yehova adzadula ndi nkhwangwa mitengo ya mʼnkhalango yowirira; Lebanoni adzagwa pamaso pa Wamphamvu.
