Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
Uthenga wonena za Chigwa cha Masomphenya: Kodi chachitika nʼchiyani, kuti nonsenu mukwere pa madenga?
2 You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
Iwe mzinda wodzaza ndi chisangalalo chodzaza tsaya, iwe mzinda waphokoso ndi wosokonekera? Anthu ako ophedwa aja sanaphedwe ndi lupanga, kapena kufera pa nkhondo.
3 All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
Atsogoleri ako onse ngakhale anathawa limodzi; koma anagwidwa osadziteteza nʼkomwe. Inu munapezeka ndipo nonse pamodzi munatengedwa ukapolo, ngakhale munathawa pamene mdani akanali patali.
4 Therefore I said, "Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Do not labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndinati, “Chokani pamaso panga; ndilekeni ndilire ndi mtima wowawa. Musayesere kunditonthoza chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa anthu anga.”
5 For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the LORD of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains."
Lero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse walola kuti tione mavuto ndi kugonjetsedwa ndiponso chisokonezo mʼChigwa cha Masomphenya. Malinga agumuka, komanso anthu akanalira mofuwula ku mapiri.
6 Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
Ankhondo a ku Elamu anadza pa magaleta ndi akavalo ali ndi mivi mʼmanja. Ankhondo a ku Kiri anakonzeka ndi zishango.
7 It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
Zigwa zanu zachonde ndi zodzaza ndi magaleta, ndipo asilikali okwera pa akavalo ayikidwa pa zipata za mzinda;
8 He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
zonse zoteteza Yuda zachotsedwa. Ndipo tsiku limenelo munayangʼanayangʼana zida zankhondo zomwe zinali mʼnyumba yaufumu ya nkhalango;
9 You saw the breaches of the City of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
inu munaona kuti makoma ambiri a mzinda wa Davide anali ndi malo ambiri ogumuka; munasunga madzi mu chidziwe chakumunsi.
10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
Munawerenga nyumba zonse za mu Yerusalemu ndipo munagwetsa nyumba zina kuti mulimbitse linga logumuka lija.
11 You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.
Pakati pa makoma awiri munamanga chitsime chosungiramo madzi ochokera ku dziwe lakale, koma inu simunadalire Mulungu amene anapanga zimenezi, kapena kusamalako za Iye amene anazilenga kale lomwe.
12 In that day the LORD of hosts called for weeping and for mourning, for shaved heads, and for the wearing of sackcloth.
Pa tsiku limenelo, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse anakuyitanani kuti mulire ndi kukhetsa misozi; kumeta mutu wanu mpala ndi kuvala ziguduli.
13 But look, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die."
Koma mʼmalo mwake inu munakondwa ndi kusangalala; munapha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa; munadya nyama ndi kumwa vinyo. Inu mumati, “Tiyeni tidye ndi kumwa pakuti mawa tifa!”
14 The LORD of hosts revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says the LORD of hosts.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wandiwululira mondinongʼoneza kuti, “Tchimo limeneli sindidzakhululuka mpaka tsiku la kufa kwanu,” akutero Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
15 Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is in charge of the house, and say,
Chimene Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Pita, ukanene kwa Sabina kapitawo, amene amayangʼanira nyumba yaufumu:
16 'What are you doing here, and whom have you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock."
Kodi ukuchita chiyani kuno, nanga ndani anakupatsa chilolezo kuti udzikumbire manda kuno, kudzikumbira manda pa phiri ndi kudzisemera malo opumulira mʼthanthwe?
17 Look, the LORD will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
“Samalira, Yehova watsala pangʼono kukugwira zolimba ndi kukuponya mwamphamvu, iwe munthu wamphamvu.
18 He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord's house.
Iye adzakukulunga kwambiri ngati mpira ndipo adzakuponyera mʼdziko lalikulu. Kumeneko ndiko ukafere ndipo kumeneko ndiko kudzatsalire magaleta ako. Ndipo udzasanduka wochititsa manyazi nyumba ya mbuye wako.
19 I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
Ine ndidzakuchotsa pa ukapitawo wako ndipo ndidzakutsitsa pa udindo wako.
20 It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
“Tsiku limenelo ndidzayitanitsa mtumiki wanga, Eliyakimu mwana wa Hilikiya.
21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Ndidzamuveka mkanjo wako ndi kumangira lamba wako mʼchiwuno mwake ndi kumupatsa ulamuliro wako. Iye adzakhala kholo la amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu ndiponso a fuko la Yuda.
22 I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
Ndidzamupatsa ulamuliro wa banja la Davide. Adzatsekula ndipo palibe adzatseke, adzatseka popanda wina kutsekula.
23 I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father's house.
Ufumu wake udzakhala wokhazikika ngati chikhomo chokhomedwa pa malo olimba. Anthu adzalemekeza nyumba ya abale ake chifukwa cha iye.
24 They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
Ana ndi abale a nyumba ya abambo ake adzakhala ngati katundu pa iye ngati ziwiya zopanda ntchito zimene zapachikidwa pa chikhomo.
25 "In that day," says the LORD of hosts, "the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken it."
“Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akunena kuti, ‘Tsiku limeneli chikhomo chokhomedwa kwambiri chija sichidzalimbanso; chidzazuka ndipo chidzagwa ndipo zonse zopachikidwa zidzawonongedwa.’” Yehova wayankhula chomwechi.
