Isaiah 43
1 But nowe thus sayeth the Lord, that created thee, O Iaakob: and hee that formed thee, O Israel, Feare not: for I haue redeemed thee: I haue called thee by thy name, thou art mine.
Koma tsopano, Yehova amene anakulenga, iwe Yakobo, amene anakuwumba, iwe Israeli akuti, “Usaope, pakuti ndakuwombola; Ndinakuyitanitsa mokutchula dzina lako, ndiwe wanga.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I wil be with thee, and through the floods, that they doe not ouerflowe thee. When thou walkest through the very fire, thou shalt not be burnt, neither shall the flame kindle vpon thee.
Pamene ukuwoloka nyanja, ndidzakhala nawe; ndipo pamene ukuwoloka mitsinje, sidzakukokolola. Pamene ukudutsa pa moto, sudzapsa; lawi la moto silidzakutentha.
3 For I am the Lord thy God, the holy one of Israel, thy Sauiour: I gaue Egypt for thy ransome, Ethiopia, and Seba for thee.
Chifukwa Ine Yehova, Mulungu wako, Woyera wa Israeli, ndine Mpulumutsi wako. Ndinapereka Igupto pofuna kuti ndiwombole iwe, ndinapereka Kusi ndi Seba mʼmalo mwa iwe.
4 Because thou wast precious in my sight, and thou wast honourable, and I loued thee, therefore will I giue man for thee, and people for thy sake.
Popeza kuti ndiwe wamtengowapatali wolemekezeka ndi wapamtima panga, ndipo chifukwa ndimakukonda, ndidzapereka anthu mʼmalo mwa iwe, ndidzapereka mitundu ya anthu pofuna kuwombola moyo wako.
5 Feare not, for I am with thee: I will bring thy seede from the East, and gather thee from the West.
Usachite mantha, pakuti Ine ndili nawe; ndidzabweretsa ana ako kuchokera kummawa, ndipo ndidzakusonkhanitsani kuchokera kumadzulo.
6 I will say to the North, Giue: and to the South, Keepe not backe: bring my sonnes from farre, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
Ndidzawuza a kumpoto kuti, ‘Amasuleni,’ ndidzawuza akummwera kuti, ‘Musawagwire.’ Bweretsani ana anga aamuna kuchokera ku mayiko akutali, ana anga a akazi kuchokera kumalekezero a dziko lapansi;
7 Euery one shall be called by my Name: for I created him for my glorie, formed him and made him.
onsewo amadziwika ndi dzina langa; ndinawalenga chifukwa cha ulemerero wanga, ndinawawumba, inde ndinawapanga.”
8 I will bring foorth the blinde people, and they shall haue eyes, and the deafe, and they shall haue eares.
Tulutsa anthu amene ali nawo maso koma sakupenya, anthu amene ali nawo makutu koma sakumva.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this and shewe vs former things? let them bring foorth their witnesses, that they may be iustified: but let them heare, and say, It is truth.
Mitundu yonse ya anthu isonkhane pamodzi, anthu a mitundu ina akhale pamodzi pabwalo la milandu. Ndani wa iwo amene ananeneratu zimenezi? Ndani wa iwo anatifotokozerapo zinthu zakalekale? Abweretu ndi mboni zawo kuti adzatsimikizire kuti ananena zoona, kuti anthu ena amve ndi kunena kuti, “Ndi zoona.”
10 You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my seruant, whom I haue chosen: therefore yee shall knowe and beleeue me and yee shall vnderstand that I am: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Yehova akunena kuti, “Inu Aisraeli ndinu mboni zanga, ndi mtumiki wanga amene ndinakusankha, kuti mundidziwe ndi kundikhulupirira, ndipo mudzamvetsa kuti Mulungu ndine ndekha. Patsogolo panga sipanapangidwepo mulungu wina, ngakhale pambuyo panga sipadzakhalaponso wina.”
11 I, euen I am the Lord, and beside me there is no Sauiour.
Akutero Yehova, “Ine, Inetu ndine Yehova, ndipo palibe Mpulumutsi wina koma Ine ndekha.
12 I haue declared, and I haue saued, and I haue shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, sayeth the Lord, that I am God.
Ndine amene ndinaneneratu, amene ndinakupulumutsa; ndine, osati mulungu wina wachilendo pakati panu amene ndinalengezeratu. Inu ndinu mboni zanga, kuti Ine ndine Mulungu,” akutero Yehova.
13 Yea, before the day was, I am, and there is none that can deliuer out of mine hand: I will doe it, and who shall let it?
“Ine ndine Mulungu kuyambira nthawi yamakedzana, ndipo ndidzakhalabe Mulungu ku nthawi zonse. Palibe amene angathe kuthawa mʼmanja mwanga, ndipo chimene ndachita palibe angathe kuchisintha.”
14 Thus sayeth the Lord your redeemer, the holy one of Israel, For your sake I haue sent to Babel, and brought it downe: they are all fugitiues, and the Chaldeans crie in the shippes.
Yehova akuti, Mpulumutsi wanu, Woyerayo wa Israeli akuti, “Chifukwa cha inu ndidzatuma gulu lankhondo kukalimbana ndi Babuloni ndi kukupulumutsani. Ndidzagwetsa zitseko zonse za mzindawo, ndipo kukondwa kwa anthu ake kudzasanduka kulira.
15 I am the Lord your holy one, the creator of Israel, your King.
Ine ndine Yehova, Woyera wanu uja, Mlengi wa Israeli. Ine ndine Mfumu yanu.”
16 Thus sayeth the Lord which maketh a way in the Sea, and a path in the mighty waters.
Yehova anapanga njira pa nyanja, anapanga njira pakati pa madzi amphamvu.
17 When hee bringeth out the charet and horse, the armie and the power lie together, and shall not rise: they are extinct, and quenched as towe.
Iye anasonkhanitsa magaleta, akavalo, gulu lankhondo ndi asilikali amphamvu, ndipo onse anagwa pamenepo, osadzukanso anazimitsidwa kutheratu ngati chingwe cha nyale. Yehova ameneyu akuti,
18 Remember yee not the former things, neither regard the things of olde.
“Iwalani zinthu zakale; ndipo musaganizirenso zinthu zimene zinachitika kale.
19 Behold, I do a new thing: now shall it come foorth: shall you not knowe it? I wil euen make a way in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse.
Taonani, Ine ndikuchita zinthu zatsopano! Tsopano zayamba kale kuoneka; kodi simukuziona? Ine ndikulambula msewu mʼchipululu ndi kupanga mitsinje mʼdziko lowuma.
20 The wilde beastes shall honour mee, the dragons and the ostriches, because I gaue water in the desert, and floods in the wildernesse to giue drinke to my people, euen to mine elect.
Nyama zakuthengo, nkhandwe ndi akadzidzi zinandilemekeza. Ndidzayendetsa mitsinje mʼdziko lowuma kuti ndiwapatse madzi anthu anga osankhidwa.
21 This people haue I formed for my selfe: they shall shewe foorth my praise.
Anthu amene ndinadziwumbira ndekha kuti aziyimba nyimbo yotamanda Ine.
22 And thou hast not called vpon mee, O Iaakob, but thou hast wearied me, O Israel.
“Komatu simunapemphera kwa Ine, Inu a mʼbanja la Yakobo, munatopa nane, Inu Aisraeli.
23 Thou hast not brought me the sheepe of thy burnt offrings, neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I haue not caused thee to serue with an offring, nor wearied thee with incense.
Simunabweretse kwa Ine nkhosa za nsembe zopsereza, kapena kundilemekeza ndi nsembe zanu. Ine sindinakulemetseni pomakupemphani zopereka za chakudya kapena kukutopetsani pomakupemphani nsembe zofukiza.
24 Thou boughtest mee no sweete sauour with money, neither hast thou made mee drunke with the fatte of thy sacrifices, but thou hast made mee to serue with thy sinnes, and wearied mee with thine iniquities.
Simunandigulire bango lonunkhira kapena kundipatsa Ine mafuta okwanira a nsembe zanu. Koma inu mwandilemetsa Ine ndi machimo anu ndipo mwanditopetsa Ine ndi zolakwa zanu.
25 I, euen I am he that putteth away thine iniquities for mine owne sake, and will not remember thy sinnes.
“Ine, Inetu, ndi amene ndimafafaniza zolakwa zanu, chifukwa cha Ine mwini, ndipo sindidzakumbukiranso machimo anu.
26 Put me in remembrance: let vs be iudged together: count thou that thou maist be iustified.
Mundikumbutse zakale, ndipo titsutsane nkhaniyi pamodzi; fotokozani mlandu wanu kuti muonetse kuti ndinu osalakwa.
27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers haue transgressed against me.
Kholo lanu loyamba linachimwa; ndipo Atsogoleri anu achipembedzo anandiwukira.
28 Therefore I haue prophaned the rulers of the Sanctuarie, and haue made Iaakob a curse, and Israel a reproche.
Chifukwa chake Ine ndidzanyazitsa akuluakulu a Nyumba yanu ya mapemphero, ndipo ndidzapereka Yakobo kuti awonongedwe ndi Israeli kuti achitidwe chipongwe.”
