Isaiah 7
1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Pamene Ahazi mwana wa Yotamu, mdzukulu wa Uziya anali mfumu ya Yuda, Rezini mfumu ya Siriya ndi Peka mwana wa Remaliya, mfumu ya Israeli anabwera kudzathira nkhondo mzinda wa Yerusalemu, koma sanathe kuwugonjetsa.
2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
Tsono nyumba ya Davide inawuzidwa kuti, “Dziko la Siriya lagwirizana ndi Efereimu.” Choncho mfumu Ahazi ndi anthu ake ananjenjemera, monga momwe mitengo ya mʼnkhalango imagwedezekera ndi mphepo.
3 Then said Yhwh unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear–jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;
Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Yesaya kuti, “Tuluka, iwe ndi mwana wako Seariyasubu, mupite mukakumane ndi Ahazi kumapeto kwa ngalande yamadzi yochokera ku Dziwe Lakumtunda, pa msewu wopita ku Munda wa mmisiri wochapa nsalu.
4 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
Ukamuwuze kuti, ‘Chenjera, khala phee ndipo usaope. Usataye mtima chifukwa cha zitsa ziwiri zomwe zikufuka, chifukwa cha ukali woopsa wa Rezini ndi Siriya, ndiponso wa Peka mwana wa Remaliya.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
Mfumu ya Siriya, Efereimu ndi mwana wa Remaliya apangana kuti akuchitire choyipa. Akunena kuti,
6 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:
‘Tiyeni tikalimbane ndi Yuda. Tiyeni tiliwononge ndi kuligawa; tiligawane pakati pathu, ndipo tilonge ufumu mwana wa Tabeeli kumeneko.’
7 Thus saith the Lord Yhwh, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
Komabe zimene akunena Ambuye Yehova ndi izi: “‘Zimenezo sizidzatheka, sizidzachitika konse,
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
pakuti Siriya amadalira Damasiko, ndipo Damasiko amadalira mfumu Rezini basi. Zisanathe zaka 65 Efereimu adzawonongedwa kotheratu, sadzakhalanso mtundu wa anthu.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
Dziko la Efereimu limadalira Samariya ndipo Samariya amadalira mwana wa Remaliya basi. Mukapanda kulimbika pa chikhulupiriro chanu, ndithu simudzalimba konse.’”
10 Moreover Yhwh spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
Yehova anayankhulanso ndi Ahazi,
11 Ask thee a sign of Yhwh thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
“Pempha chizindikiro kwa Yehova Mulungu wako, chikhale chozama ngati manda kapena chachitali ngati mlengalenga.” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Yhwh.
Koma Ahazi anati, “Ine sindipempha; sindikufuna kuyesa Yehova.”
13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
Apo Yesaya anati, “Imva tsopano, iwe nyumba ya Davide! Kodi sikokwanira kutopetsa anthu? Kodi mudzayeseranso kutopetsa Mulungu wanga?
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye mwini adzakupatsani chizindikiro: Onani, namwali adzakhala woyembekezera ndipo adzabala mwana wamwamuna, ndipo mwanayo adzamutcha Imanueli.
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Azidzadya chambiko ndi uchi, mpaka atadziwa kukana choyipa ndi kusankha chabwino.
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
Koma nthawi yokana choyipa ndi kusankha chabwino kwa mwanayo isanafike, mayiko a mafumu awiri amene amakuopsaniwo adzakhala atasanduka bwinja.
17 Yhwh shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
Yehova adzabweretsa pa inu, pa anthu anu ndiponso pa nyumba ya bambo wanu masiku a mavuto woti sanakhalepo kuyambira tsiku limene Efereimu anapatukana ndi Yuda. Yehova adzabweretsa mfumu ya ku Asiriya.”
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Yhwh shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Tsiku limenelo Yehova adzalizira likhweru ntchentche zochokera ku mitsinje yakutali ku Igupto, ndiponso njuchi zochokera ku dziko la Asiriya.
19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
Onsewo adzafika ndi kudzakhazikika mu zigwa zozama, mʼmingʼalu ya matanthwe ndi mʼzitsamba zonse zaminga ndiponso ponse pamene pali malo omwetsera ziweto.
20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
Tsiku limenelo Ambuye adzalemba ganyu ometa ochokera kutsidya kwa Mtsinje, ndiye mfumu ya ku Asiriya, kudzameta tsitsi lanu la ku mutu ndi la mʼmiyendo ndi ndevu zomwe.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
Tsiku limenelo adzangosunga ngʼombe yayikazi yayingʼono ndi mbuzi ziwiri.
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
Ndipo chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa mkaka umene ziwetozi zidzapereka, munthuyo azidzadya chambiko. Aliyense amene adzatsalire mʼdzikomo azidzadya chambiko ndi uchi.
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
Tsiku limenelo, paliponse pamene panali mitengo ya mpesa 1,000 ndipo mtengo wake ndi wokwana masekeli asiliva 1,000, padzamera mkandankhuku ndi minga.
24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
Anthu adzapita kumeneko kukachita uzimba ali ndi uta ndi mivi, popeza kuti mʼdziko monsemo mudzakhala mkandankhuku ndi minga.
25 And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
Ndipo mʼmapiri monse mʼmene kale munkalimidwa ndi khasu, simudzapitamo kuopa mkandankhuku ndi minga; malowo adzasanduka odyetserako ngʼombe ndi nkhosa.
