Esias 66
1 Thus says the Lord, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of a house will you build me? and of what kind [is to be] the place of my rest?
Yehova akuti, “Kumwamba ndi mpando wanga waufumu ndipo dziko lapansi ndilo chopondapo mapazi anga. Tsono nyumba ili kuti yomwe mundimangire, ndipo malo ali kuti amene inu mungandikonzere kuti ndizipumuliramo?
2 For all these things are mine, says the Lord: and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the [man] that trembles [at] my words?
Kodi si manja anga amene anapanga zinthu zonsezi, motero zonsezi ndi zanga?” Akutero Yehova. “Koma munthu amene ndimakondwera naye ndi uyu: amene ali wodzichepetsa ndi wosweka mtima, ndipo amamvera mawu anga.
3 But the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as [one that offers] swine's blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations.
Koma aliyense amene amapereka nsembe ngʼombe yayimuna amaphanso munthu, ndipo aliyense amene amapereka mwana wankhosa, amaphanso galu. Aliyense amene amapereka nsembe chopereka cha chakudya amaperekanso magazi a nkhumba. Ndipo amene amafukiza lubani pa guwa lansembe la chikumbutso amapembedzanso fano. Popeza iwo asankha njira zawozawo, ndiponso kusangalatsidwa ndi zonyansa zawo.
4 I also will choose their mockeries, and will recompense their sins upon them; because I called them, and they did not listen to me; I spoke, and they heard not: and they did evil before me, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
Inenso ndawasankhira chilango chowawa ndipo ndidzabweretsa pa iwo zimene amaziopa zija. Pakuti pamene ndinawayitana palibe amene anayankha, pamene ndinayankhula palibe amene anatchera khutu. Anachita zoyipa pamaso panga ndi kusankha kuchita zimene zimandinyansa zija.”
5 Hear the words of the Lord, you that tremble at his word; speak you, our brethren, to them that hate you and abominate you, that the name of the Lord may be glorified, and may appear their joy; but they shall be ashamed.
Imvani mawu a Yehova, inu amene mumanjenjemera ndi mawu ake: “Abale anu amene amakudani, ndi kukuchotsani pakati pawo chifukwa cha dzina langa, amanena kuti, ‘Yehova alemekezeke kuti ife tione chimwemwe chanu!’ Koma ndi iwowo amene adzachite manyazi.
6 A voice of a cry from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord rendering recompence to [his] adversaries.
Imvani mfuwu mu mzinda, imvani phokoso mʼNyumba ya Mulungu! Limenelo ndi liwu la Yehova, kulanga adani ake onse.
7 Before she that travailed brought forth, before the travail-pain came on, she escaped [it] and brought forth a male.
“Mzinda uli ngati amayi apakati amene asanayambe kumva zowawa wachira kale; asanayambe kumva ululu, wabala kale mwana wamwamuna.
8 Who has heard such a thing? and who has seen after this manner? Has the earth travailed in one day? or has even a nation been born at once, that Sion has travailed, and brought forth her children?
Ndani anamvapo zinthu zoterezi? Ndani anazionapo zinthu zoterezi? Kodi dziko nʼkupangika tsiku limodzi, kapena mtundu wa anthu nʼkubadwa tsiku limodzi? Komatu Ziyoni atangoyamba kumva zowawa nthawi yomweyo anabereka ana ake.
9 But I have raised this expectation, yet you have not remembered me, says the Lord: behold, have not I made the bearing and barren woman? says your God.
Kodi Ine ndingangofikitsa amayi apakati mpaka nthawi yake yochira, koma osalola kuti abaledi mwana?” akutero Yehova. “Kodi ndingatseke mimba pa nthawi yoti abeleke?” akutero Mulungu wako.
10 Rejoice, O Jerusalem, and all you that love her hold in her a general assembly: rejoice greatly with her, all that [now] mourn over her:
“Kondwera nayeni Yerusalemu ndipo musangalale chifukwa cha Iye, inu nonse amene mumakonda Yerusalemu, kondwera nayeni kwambiri, nonse amene mumamulira.
11 that you may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolation; that you may milk out, and delight yourselves with the influx of her glory.
Pakuti mudzagawana naye ulemerero wake ngati kuyamwa ndi kukhuta mkaka wambiri wa mʼmawere a chitonthozo chake.”
12 For thus says the Lord, Behold, I turn toward them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles: their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.
Yehova akuti, “Ndidzamupatsa mtendere ngati mtsinje wa madzi, ndiponso chuma cha anthu a mitundu ina ngati mtsinje wosefukira. Mudzakhala ngati mwana woyamwa amene amayi ake amunyamulira pambalipa, kapena kumufungata pa miyendo yake.
13 As if his mother should comfort one, so will I also comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Monga momwe amayi amasangalatsira mwana wawo, moteronso Ine ndidzakusangalatsani; ndipo mudzasangalala chifukwa cha Yerusalemu.”
14 And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall thrive like grass: and the hand of the Lord shall be known to them that fear him, and he shall threaten the disobedient.
Mukadzaona zimenezi mitima yanu idzakondwera. Mudzabiriwira ngati udzu. Zimenezi zidzakulimbikitsani ndi kukupatsani moyo wamphamvu. Mudzadziwa kuti ndimathandiza amene amanditumikira ndi kuti ndimakwiyira adani anga.
15 For, behold, the Lord will come as fire, and his chariots as a storm, to render his vengeance with wrath, and his rebuke with a flame of fire.
Taonani, Yehova akubwera ngati moto, ndipo magaleta ake ali ngati kamvuluvulu; Iye adzaonetsa mkwiyo wake nadzalanga adani ake ndi malawi amoto.
16 For with the fire of the Lord all the earth shall be judged, and all flesh with his sword: many shall be slain by the Lord.
Pakuti Yehova adzalanga anthu onse ndi moto ndi lupanga, Yehova adzapha anthu ambiri.
17 They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens, and eat swine's flesh in the porches, and the abominations, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the Lord.
Yehova akuti, “Amene amadzipatula ndi kudziyeretsa okha kuti apite ku minda, ali ndi mtsogoleri awo, nʼkumadya nyama ya nkhumba, mbewa ndi zinthu zina zonyansa, onsewa adzafera limodzi.”
18 And I [know] their works and their imagination. I am going to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
“Ndipo Ine, chifukwa cha zochita zawo ndi maganizo awo, ndili pafupi kubwera kudzasonkhanitsa mitundu yonse ya anthu ndi ziyankhulo zonse. Iwo adzabwera ndi kuona ulemerero wanga.
19 And I will leave a sign upon them, and I will send forth them that have escaped of them to the nations, to Tharsis, and Phud, and Lud, and Mosoch, and to Thobel, and to Greece, and to the isles afar off, to those who have not heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
“Ndidzayika chizindikiro pakati pawo, ndipo ndidzatumiza ena mwa iwowa amene anapulumuka kuti apite kwa anthu a mitundu ina inu ku Tarisisi, ku Libiya ndi ku Ludi (akatswiri a mauta) ku Tubala ndi Grisi, ndi ku mayiko akutali a mbali mwa nyanja amene sanamvepo za mbiri yanga kapena kuona ulemerero wanga. Iwo adzalalika za ulemerero wanga pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.
20 And they shall bring your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord with horses, and chariots, in litters [drawn by] mules with awnings, to the holy city Jerusalem, said the Lord, as though the children of Israel should bring their sacrifices to me with psalms into the house of the Lord.
Ndipo adzabwera nawo abale anu onse ngati mphatso yopereka kwa Yehova kuchokera kwa anthu a mitundu yonse. Iwo adzakwera nawo kupita ku Yerusalemu, phiri langa loyera ku Yerusalemu monga nsembe kwa Yehova, atakwera akavalo, magaleta ndi ngolo, ndi pa abulu ndi ngamira,” akutero Yehova. “Adzabwera nawo ngati momwe Aisraeli amabwerera ndi zopereka zachakudya ku Nyumba ya Yehova mu ziwiya zoyeretsedwa monga mwa mwambo.
21 And I will take of them priests and Levites, says the Lord.
Ndipo ndidzasankha ena mwa iwonso kukhala ansembe ndi Alevi,” akutero Yehova.
22 For as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.
“Monga momwe mlengalenga mwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano zimene ndidzapanga zidzakhala mpaka muyaya pamaso panga, ndi chonchonso dzina lanu ndi zidzukulu zanu zidzakhalire.” Akutero Yehova.
23 And it shall come to pass from month to month, and from sabbath to sabbath, [that] all flesh shall come to worship before me in Jerusalem, says the Lord.
“Anthu a mitundu yonse adzabwera kudzandipembedza ku Yerusalemu, pa chikondwerero chilichonse cha pokhala pa mwezi watsopano ndi tsiku la Sabata lililonse,” akutero Yehova.
24 And they shall go forth, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh.
“Akamachoka adzaona mitembo ya anthu amene anandiwukira Ine. Mphutsi zawo sizidzafa, kapena moto wawo sudzazimitsidwa. Anthu a mitundu ina yonse powaona adzanyansidwa nawo.”
