Isaiah 56
1 Thus saith the Lord: Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my justice to be revealed.
Yehova akuti, “Chitani chilungamo ndi zinthu zabwino, chifukwa chipulumutso changa chili pafupi ndipo ndidzakuwombolani posachedwapa.
2 Blessed is the man that doth this, and the son of man that shall lay hold on this: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, that keepeth his hands from doing any evil.
Ndi wodala munthu amene amachita zimenezi, munthu amene amalimbika kuzichita, amene amasunga Sabata osaliyipitsa, ndipo amadziletsa kuchita zoyipa.”
3 And let not the son of the stranger, that adhereth to the Lord, speak, saying: The Lord will divide and separate me from his people. And let not the eunuch say: Behold I am a dry tree.
Mlendo amene waphatikana ndi Yehova asanene kuti, “Ndithu Yehova wandichotsa pakati pa anthu ake.” Ndipo munthu wofulidwa asanene kuti, “Ine ndine mtengo wowuma basi.”
4 For thus saith the Lord to the eunuchs, They that shall keep my sabbaths, and shall choose the things that please me, and shall hold fast my covenant:
Popeza Yehova akuti, “Wofulidwa amene amasunga masabata anga, nachita zokomera Ine ndi kusunga pangano langa,
5 I will give to them in my house, and within my walls, a place, and a name better than sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name which shall never perish.
ndidzawapatsa dzina ndi mbiri yabwino mʼkati mwa Nyumba yanga ndi makoma ake, kuposa kukhala ndi ana aamuna ndi aakazi. Ndidzawapatsa dzina labwino, losatha ndi losayiwalika.”
6 And the children of the stranger that adhere to the Lord, to worship him, and to love his name, to be his servants: every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and that holdeth fast my covenant:
Yehova akuti, “Alendo amene amadziphatika kwa Yehova, motero kuti amamutumikira Iye, amakonda dzina la Yehova, amamugwirira ntchito, komanso kusunga Sabata osaliyipitsa ndi kusunga bwino pangano langa,
7 I will bring them into my holy mount, and will make them joyful in my house of prayer: their holocausts, and their victims shall please me upon my altar: for my house shall be called the house of prayer, for all nations.
amenewa Ine ndidzawafikitsa ku phiri langa lopatulika, ndidzawapatsa chimwemwe mʼnyumba yanga ya mapemphero. Zopereka zawo zopsereza ndi nsembe zawo ndidzazilandira pa guwa langa la nsembe. Paja nyumba yanga idzatchedwa nyumba ya mapemphero ya anthu a mitundu yonse.”
8 The Lord God, who gathereth the scattered of Israel, saith: I will still gather unto him his congregation.
Ambuye Yehova, amene amasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse ali ku ukapolo akunena kuti, “Ndidzasonkhanitsano anthu ena kuwonjezera amene anasonkhana kale.”
9 All ye beasts of the field come to devour, all ye beasts of the forest.
Bwerani, inu zirombo zonse zakuthengo, inu nonse zirombo zamʼnkhalango bwerani mudzadye!
10 His watchmen are all blind, they are all ignorant: dumb dogs not able to bark, seeing vain things, sleeping and loving dreams.
Atsogoleri onse a Israeli ndi akhungu, onse ndi opanda nzeru; onse ndi agalu opanda mawu, samatha kuwuwa: amagona pansi nʼkumalota amakonda kugona tulo.
11 And meet impudent dogs, they never had enough: the shepherds themselves knew no understanding: all have turned aside into their own way, every one after his own gain, from the first even to the last.
Ali ngati agalu amene ali ndi njala yayikulu; sakhuta konse. Abusa nawonso samvetsa zinthu; onse amachita monga akufunira, aliyense amafunafuna zomupindulitsa iye mwini.
12 Come, let us take wine, and be filled with drunkenness: and it shall be as today, so also tomorrow, and much more.
Aliyense amafuwulira mnzake kuti, “Bwera, tiye timwe vinyo! Tiyeni timwe mowa mpaka kukhuta! Mawa lidzakhala ngati leroli, kapena kuposa lero lino.”
