Isaiah 32
1 Look, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
Taonani, kudzakhala mfumu ina imene idzalamulira mwachilungamo, ndipo akalonga ake adzaweruza molungama.
2 A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a shelter from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
Munthu aliyense adzakhala ngati pothawirapo mphepo ndi malo obisalirapo namondwe, adzakhala ngati mitsinje ya mʼchipululu, ngati mthunzi wa thanthwe lalikulu la mʼdziko lowuma.
3 The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
Ndipo maso a anthu openya sadzakhalanso otseka, ndipo makutu a anthu akumva adzamvetsetsa.
4 The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
Anthu a mtima wopupuluma adzadziwa ndi kuchita zinthu mofatsa, ndipo anthu ovutika kuyankhula adzayankhula mosadodoma ndi momveka.
5 And they will no longer call a fool noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
Chitsiru sichidzatchedwanso munthu waulemu wake ndipo munthu woyipa sadzalemekezedwa.
6 For the fool will speak folly, and his heart plans iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against YHWH, To make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Pakuti munthu opusa amayankhula zauchitsiru, amaganiza kuchita zoyipa: Iye amachita zoyipira Mulungu, ndipo amafalitsa zolakwika zokhudza Yehova; anjala sawapatsa chakudya ndipo aludzu sawapatsa madzi.
7 The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
Munthu woyipa njira zake ndi zoyipanso, iye kwake nʼkulingalira zinthu zoyipa. Amalingalira zakuti awononge anthu aumphawi ndi mabodza ake ngakhale kuti waumphawiyo akuyankhula zoona.
8 But the noble devises noble things; and he will continue in noble things.
Koma munthu wolemekezeka amalingaliranso kuchita zinthu zabwino, Iye amakhazikika pa zinthu zabwinozo.
9 Rise up, you women who are at ease. Hear my voice. You careless daughters, give ear to my speech.
Khalani maso, inu akazi amene mukungokhala wopanda kulingalira kuti kunja kulinji ndipo imvani mawu anga. Inu akazi odzitama, imvani zimene ndikunena!
10 For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail. The harvest won't come.
Pakapita chaka ndi masiku pangʼono inu akazi amatama mudzanjenjemera; chifukwa mitengo ya mphesa idzakanika ndipo zipatso sizidzaoneka.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease. Be troubled, you careless ones. Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.
Nthunthumirani inu okhala mosatekesekanu; ndipo njenjemerani, inu akazi omadzikhulupirira nokhanu. Vulani zovala zanu, ndipo valani ziguduli mʼchiwuno mwanu.
12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Dzigugudeni pachifuwa mwachisoni chifukwa minda yachonde, ndi mphesa yawonongeka.
13 Thorns and briars will come up on my people's land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
Mʼdziko la anthu anga mwamera minga ndi mkandankhuku. Zoona, mulilire nyumba zonse zachikondwerero ndi mzinda uno umene unali wachisangalalo.
14 For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
Nyumba yaufumu idzasiyidwa, mzinda waphokoso udzakhala wopanda anthu; malinga ndi nsanja zidzasanduka chipululu mpaka muyaya. Abulu adzasangalalamo ndipo ziweto zidzapezamo msipu.
15 Until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.
Yehova adzatipatsa mzimu wake, ndipo dziko lachipululu lidzasanduka munda wachonde, ndipo munda wachonde udzakhala ngati nkhalango.
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
Tsono mʼchipululu mudzakhala chiweruzo cholungama ndipo mʼminda yachonde mudzakhala chilungamo.
17 The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
Mtendere udzakhala chipatso chachilungamo; zotsatira za chilungamo zidzakhala bata ndi kudzidalira mpaka muyaya.
18 My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
Anthu anga adzakhala mʼmidzi yamtendere, mʼnyumba zodalirika, ndi malo osatekeseka a mpumulo.
19 And it will hail when the forest comes down, and the wood is brought low in humiliation.
Ngakhale nkhalango idzawonongedwa ndi matalala ndipo mzinda udzagwetsedwa mpaka pansi,
20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who set free the foot of the ox and the donkey.
inutu mudzakhala odalitsika ndithu. Mudzadzala mbewu zanu mʼmbali mwa mtsinje uliwonse, ndipo ngʼombe zanu ndi abulu anu zidzadya paliponse.
