Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold the Lord will ascend upon a swift cloud, and will enter into Egypt, and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst thereof.
Uthenga onena za Igupto: Taonani, Yehova wakwera pa mtambo waliwiro, ndipo akupita ku Igupto. Mafano a ku Igupto akunjenjemera pamaso pake, ndipo mitima ya Aigupto yachokamo ndi mantha.
2 And I will set the Egyptians to fight against the Egyptians: and they shall fight brother against brother, and friend against friend, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
“Ine ndidzadzutsa Aigupto kuti amenyane okhaokha; mʼbale adzamenyana ndi mʼbale wake, mnansi ndi mnansi wake, mzinda ndi mzinda unzake, ndiponso ufumu ndi ufumu unzake.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall be broken in the bowels thereof, and I will cast down their counsel: and they shall consult their idols, and their diviners, and their wizards, and soothsayers.
Aigupto adzataya mtima popeza ndidzalepheretsa zolinga zawo; adzapempha nzeru kwa mafano awo ndiponso kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa, kwa amawula ndi kwa oyankhula ndi mizimu.
4 And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king shall rule over them, saith the Lord the God of hosts.
Ndidzawapereka Aigupto kwa olamulira ankhanza, ndipo mfumu yoopsa idzawalamulira,” akutero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
5 And the water of the sea shall be dried up, and the river shall be wasted and dry.
Madzi a mu mtsinje wa Nailo adzaphwa, ndipo mʼmbali mwa mtsinje mudzangʼaluka ndi kuwuma.
6 And the rivers shall fail: the streams of the banks shall be diminished, and be dried up. The reed and the bulrush shall wither away.
Ngalande zake zidzanunkha; ndipo mitsinje ya Igupto idzayamba kuchepa ndi kuwuma. Bango ndi dulu zidzafota,
7 The channel of the river shall be laid bare from its fountain, and every thing sown by the water shall be dried up, it shall wither away, and shall be no more.
ndiponso zomera za mʼmphepete mwa Nailo ndi ku mathiriro a mtsinjewo. Zonse zodzalidwa mʼmbali mwa Nailo zidzawuma, zidzawuluzika ndipo sizidzaonekanso.
8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all that cast a hook into the river shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish away.
Asodzi adzabuwula ndi kudandaula, onse amene amaponya mbedza mu Nailo; onse amene amaponya makoka mʼmadzi adzalira.
9 They shall be confounded that wrought in flax, combing and weaving fine linen.
Amene amagwira ntchito yopota thonje adzataya mtima, anthu oluka nsalu zofewa zabafuta adzataya chiyembekezo.
10 And its watery places shall be dry, all they shall mourn that made pools to take fishes.
Akatswiri opanga nsalu adzangoti kakasi, ndipo anthu onse ogwira ntchito yolipidwa adzatheratu mphamvu.
11 The princes of Tanis are become fools, the wise counsellors of Pharao have given foolish counsel: how will you say to Pharao: I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
Akuluakulu a ku Zowani ndi zitsiru; aphungu a nzeru a Farao amalangiza zopusa. Kodi mungathe kunena bwanji kwa Farao kuti, “Ine ndine mmodzi mwa anthu anzeru, wophunzira wa mafumu akale?”
12 Where are now thy wise men? let them tell thee, and shew what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
Iwe Farao, anthu ako anzeru ali kuti? Abweretu kuti akuwuze ndi kukudziwitsa zimene Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wakonza kuchitira dziko la Igupto.
13 The princes of Tanis are become fools, the princes of Memphis are gone astray, they have deceived Egypt, the stay of the people thereof.
Akuluakulu a ku Zowani asanduka zitsiru, atsogoleri a ku Mefisi anamizidwa; atsogoleri a dziko la Igupto asocheretsa anthu a dzikolo.
14 The Lord hath mingled in the midst thereof the spirit of giddiness: and they have caused Egypt to err in all its works, as a drunken man staggereth and vomiteth.
Yehova wasocheretsa anthu a ku Igupto. Iwo akuchita kudzandira pa zonse zimene akuchita, ngati chidakwa choterereka pa masanzi ake.
15 And there shall be no work for Egypt, to make head or tail, him that bendeth down, or that holdeth back.
Palibe chimene munthu wa mu Igupto angachite, mtsogoleri kapena wotsatira, nthambi ya kanjedza kapena bango.
16 In that day Egypt shall be like unto women, and they shall be amazed, and afraid, because of the moving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall move over it.
Tsiku limenelo Aigupto adzakhala ngati amayi. Adzanjenjemera ndi kuchita mantha akadzaona Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, atakweza dzanja lake kufuna kuwalanga.
17 And the land of Juda shall be a terror to Egypt: every one that shall remember it shall tremble because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath determined concerning it.
Ndipo dziko la Yuda lidzaopsa dziko la Aigupto. Aliyense amene adzamve dzina la Yuda adzaopsedwa chifukwa cha zimene Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wakonzekera kuchitira dziko la Igupto.
18 In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt, speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the Lord of hosts: one shall be called the city of the sun.
Tsiku limenelo ku dziko la Igupto kudzakhala mizinda isanu yoyankhula chiyankhulo cha Akanaani, ndipo anthu ake adzalumbira kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse kuti adzamutumikira. Umodzi mwa mizindayo udzatchedwa Mzinda Wachilungamo.
19 In that day there shall be an altar of the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a monument of the Lord at the borders thereof:
Tsiku limenelo mʼkati mwa dziko la Igupto mudzakhala guwa lansembe la Yehova, ndipo mʼmalire mwake adzayikira Yehova mwala wachikumbutso.
20 It shall be for a sign, and for a testimony to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressor, and he shall send them a Saviour and a defender to deliver them.
Zimenezo zidzakhala umboni wozindikiritsa kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse alimo mʼdziko la Igupto. Pamene Aigupto adzalirira Yehova chifukwa cha owapondereza, Iye adzawatumizira mpulumutsi ndi mtetezi ndipo adzawalanditsa.
21 And the Lord shall be known by Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall worship him with sacrifices and offerings: and they shall make vows to the Lord, and perform them.
Kotero Yehova adzadziulula yekha kwa Aigupto, ndipo tsiku limenelo adzadziwa Yehova. Adzapembedza Yehova popereka nsembe ndi popereka zopereka zachakudya; Adzalumbira kwa Yehova ndipo adzachita zimene alumbirazo.
22 And the Lord shall strike Egypt with a scourge, and shall heal it, and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall be pacified towards them, and heal them.
Yehova adzakantha Aigupto ndi mliri. Iye adzawakanthadi ndipo kenaka adzawachiritsa. Aigupto adzatembenukira kwa Yehova ndipo Iye adzamva madandawulo awo ndi kuwachiritsa.
23 In that day there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrian shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptian to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrian.
Tsiku limenelo kudzakhala msewu waukulu wochoka ku Igupto kupita ku Asiriya. Aasiriya adzapita ku Igupto ndi Aigupto ku Asiriya. Aigupto ndi Aasiriya adzapembedza pamodzi.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third to the Egyptian and the Assyrian: a blessing in the midst of the land,
Tsiku limenelo Israeli adzakhala pamodzi ndi Igupto ndi Asiriya, mayiko atatuwa adzakhala dalitso pa dziko lapansi.
25 Which the Lord of hosts hath blessed, saying: Blessed be my people of Egypt, and the work of my hands to the Assyrian: but Israel is my inheritance.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawadalitsa, ndi mawu awa, “Adalitsike anthu anga Aigupto, Aasiriya, ntchito ya manja anga, ndi Aisraeli osankhidwa anga.”
