< Esias 14 >

1 And the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and they shall rest on their land: and the stranger shall be added to them, yes, shall be added to the house of Jacob.
Yehova adzachitira chifundo Yakobo; adzasankhanso Israeli ndi kuwalola kuti akhalenso mʼdziko lawo. Alendo adzabwera kudzakhala nawo ndi kudziphatika okha kukhala ngati a mʼnyumba ya Yakobo.
2 And the Gentiles shall take them, and bring them into their place: and they shall inherit them, and they shall be multiplied upon the land for servants and handmaidens: and they that took them captives shall become captives [to them]; and they that had lordship over them shall be under [their] rule.
Anthu a mitundu ina adzaperekeza a Israeli ku dziko lawo. Tsono Aisraeli adzasandutsa anthu a mitundu ina aja kukhala antchito awo aamuna ndi aakazi mʼdziko la Yehova. Ndiye kuti Aisraeli adzasandutsa akapolo anthu amene kale anali ambuye awo. Iwo adzasandutsa akapolo anthu amene kale ankawalamulira ndi kuwazunza.
3 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall give you rest from your sorrow and vexation, [and from] your hard servitude wherein you did serve them.
Yehova akadzakupumitsani ku zowawa ndi mavuto, ndiponso kuntchito yakalavulagaga imene ankakugwiritsani,
4 And you shall take up this lamentation against the king of Babylon, How has the extortioner ceased, and the taskmaster ceased!
mudzayankhula monyogodola mfumu ya Babuloni kuti, Wopsinja uja watha! Ukali wake uja watha!
5 The Lord has broken the yoke of sinners, the yoke of princes.
Yehova wathyola chikwapu cha anthu oyipa, Iye waphwanya ndodo ya olamulira.
6 Having struck a nation in wrath, with an incurable plague, striking a nation with a wrathful plague, which spared [them] not, he rested in quiet.
Mfumu ya ku Babuloni inkakantha mitundu ya anthu mwaukali powamenya kosalekeza, Iyo inkagonjetsa anthu a mitundu ina mwaukali ndikuwazunza kosalekeza.
7 All the earth cries aloud with joy:
Koma tsopano mayiko onse ali pa mpumulo ndi pa mtendere; ndipo akuyimba mokondwa.
8 the trees also of Libanus rejoice against you, and the cedar of Libanus, [saying], From the time that you have been laid low, no one has come up to cut us down.
Ngakhale mitengo ya payini ndi mikungudza ya ku Lebanoni ikuyimba za iwe mokondwa ndipo ikuti, “Chigwetsedwere chako pansi, palibe wina anabwera kudzatigwetsa.”
9 Hell from beneath is provoked to meet you: all the great ones that have ruled over the earth have risen up together against you, they that have raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Ku manda kwatekeseka kuti akulandire ukamabwera; mizimu ya anthu akufa, aja amene anali atsogoleri a dziko lapansi, yadzutsidwa. Onse amene anali mafumu a mitundu ya anthu ayimiritsidwa pa mipando yawo. (Sheol h7585)
10 All shall answer and say to you, You also have been taken, even as we; and you are numbered among us.
Onse adzayankha; adzanena kwa iwe kuti, “Iwenso watheratu mphamvu ngati ife; Iwe wafanana ndi ife.”
11 Your glory has come down to Hades, and your great mirth: under you they shall spread corruption, and the worm shall be your covering. (Sheol h7585)
Ulemerero wako wonse walowa mʼmanda, pamodzi ndi nyimbo za azeze ako; mphutsi zayalana pogona pako ndipo chofunda chako ndi nyongolotsi. (Sheol h7585)
12 How has Lucifer, that rose in the morning, fallen from heaven! He that sent [orders] to all the nations is crushed to the earth.
Wagwa pansi bwanji kuchoka kumwamba, iwe nthanda, mwana wa mʼbandakucha! Wagwetsedwa pansi pa dziko lapansi, Iwe amene unagonjetsapo mitundu ya anthu!
13 But you said in your heart, I will go up to heaven, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven: I will sit on a lofty mount, on the lofty mountains toward the north:
Mu mtima mwako unkanena kuti, “Ndidzakwera mpaka kumwamba; ndidzakhazika mpando wanga waufumu pamwamba pa nyenyezi za Mulungu; ndidzakhala pa mpando waufumu pa phiri losonkhanirako, pamwamba penipeni pa phiri la kumpoto.
14 I will go up above the clouds: I will be like the Most High.
Ndidzakwera pamwamba pa mitambo; ndidzafanana ndi Wammwambamwamba.”
15 But now you shall go down to hell, even to the foundations of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Koma watsitsidwa mʼmanda pansi penipeni pa dzenje. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see you shall wonder at you, and say, This is the man that troubled the earth, that made kings to shake;
Anthu akufa adzakupenyetsetsa nadzamalingalira za iwe nʼkumati, “Kodi uyu ndi munthu uja anagwedeza dziko lapansi ndi kunjenjemeretsa maufumu,
17 that made the whole world desolate, and destroyed its cities; he loosed not those who were in captivity.
munthu amene anasandutsa dziko lonse chipululu, amene anagwetsa mizinda yake ndipo sankalola kuti anthu ogwidwa abwerere kwawo?”
18 All the kings of the nations lie in honor, [every] man in his house.
Mafumu onse a mitundu ya anthu akugona mwaulemu aliyense mʼmanda akeake.
19 But you shall be cast forth on the mountains, as a loathed carcase, with many dead who have been pierced with swords, going down to the grave.
Koma iwe watayidwa kunja kwa manda ako, ngati nthambi yowola ndi yonyansa. Mtembo wako waphimbidwa ndi anthu ophedwa; amene anabayidwa ndi lupanga, anatsikira mʼdzenje lamiyala ngati mtembo woponderezedwa.
20 As a garment defiled with blood shall not be pure, so neither shall you be pure; because you have destroyed my land, and have slain my people: you shall not endure for ever, —[you] an evil seed.
Sudzayikidwa nawo mʼmanda mwaulemu, chifukwa unawononga dziko lako ndi kupha anthu ako. Zidzukulu za anthu oyipa sizidzakumbukika nʼpangʼono pomwe.
21 Prepare your children to be slain for the sins of their father; that they arise not, and inherit the earth, nor fill the earth with wars.
Konzani malo woti muphere ana ake aamuna chifukwa cha machimo a makolo awo; kuti angadzuke ndi kulanda dziko lapansi ndi kulidzaza dziko lonselo ndi mizinda yawo.
22 And I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts, and I will destroy their name, and remnant, and seed: thus says the Lord.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Ine ndidzathira nkhondo mzinda wa Babuloni. Ndidzachotseratu mu Babuloni dzina lake ndi onse otsaliramo. Ndiye kuti sipadzakhala ana kapena zidzukulu,” akutero Yehova.
23 And I will make the region of Babylon desert, so that hedgehogs shall dwell [there], and it shall come to nothing: and I will make it a pit of clay for destruction.
“Ndidzawusandutsa mzindawo malo okhalamo anungu ndiponso dambo lamatope; ndidzawusesa ndi tsache lowononga,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
24 Thus says the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain:
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse walumbira kuti, “Ndithudi, monga ndaganizira ndidzachitadi choncho, ndipo monga momwe ndatsimikizira zidzakhala momwemo ndithu.
25 [even] to destroy the Assyrians upon my land, and upon my mountains: and they shall be for trampling; and their yoke shall be taken away from them, and their glory shall be taken away from their shoulders.
Ndidzawawononga Asiriya mʼdziko langa; ndidzawapondereza ndi mapazi pa mapiri anga; ndidzachotsa goli lawo pa anthu anga, ndipo ndidzachotsa katundu wawo pa mapewa awo.”
26 This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth: and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations.
Izi ndizo ndakonza kuti zichitike pa dziko lonse lapansi, ndatambasula dzanja pa anthu a mitundu yonse.
27 For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? and who shall turn back his uplifted hand?
Pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse watsimikiza, ndipo ndani angamuletse? Dzanja lake latambasulidwa ndipo ndani angalibweze?
28 In the year in which king Achaz died this word came.
Uthenga uwu unabwera chaka chimene mfumu Ahazi anamwalira:
29 Rejoice not, all you Philistines, because the yoke of him that struck you is broken: for out of the seed of the serpent shall come forth the young asps, and their young shall come forth flying serpents,
Musakondwere inu Afilisti nonse kuti Asiriya amene anali ngati ndodo yokukanthani anathedwa; chifukwa kuchokera ku njoka yomweyi (mfumu ya Aasiriya) mudzatuluka mphiri, ndipo chipatso chake chidzakhala njoka yaliwiro ndiponso yaululu.
30 And the poor shall be fed by him, and poor men shall rest in peace: but he shall destroy your seed with hunger, and shall destroy your remnant.
Osaukitsitsa adzapeza chakudya ndipo amphawi adzakhala mwamtendere. Koma anthu ako ndidzawawononga ndi njala, ndipo njalayo idzapha ngakhale opulumuka ako.
31 Howl, you gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, [even] all the Philistines: for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no [possibility] of living.
Lirani kwambiri, anthu a pa chipata! Fuwulani kwambiri, anthu a mu mzinda! Njenjemerani ndi mantha, inu Afilisti nonse! Mtambo wa utsi ukuchokera kumpoto, ndipo palibe wamantha pakati pa ankhondo ake.
32 And what shall the kings of the nations answer? That the Lord has founded Sion, and by him the poor of the people shall be saved.
Kodi tidzawayankha chiyani amithenga a ku Filisitiya? “Yehova wakhazikitsa Ziyoni, ndipo mu mzinda wakewu, anthu ozunzika apeza populumukira.”
