Isaiah 66
1 Thus says YHWH, "Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool of my feet. Where then is the house you could build for me? And where then is 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 has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says YHWH: "but to this man will I look, to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
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 He who slaughters an ox is like one who strikes down a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights 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 delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
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 word of YHWH, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let YHWH be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
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 tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of YHWH that renders recompense to his enemies.
Imvani mfuwu mu mzinda, imvani phokoso mʼNyumba ya Mulungu! Limenelo ndi liwu la Yehova, kulanga adani ake onse.
7 "Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
“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? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she 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 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says YHWH: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?" 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 with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who 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 nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
Pakuti mudzagawana naye ulemerero wake ngati kuyamwa ndi kukhuta mkaka wambiri wa mʼmawere a chitonthozo chake.”
12 For thus says YHWH, "Look, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her 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 one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem."
Monga momwe amayi amasangalatsira mwana wawo, moteronso Ine ndidzakusangalatsani; ndipo mudzasangalala chifukwa cha Yerusalemu.”
14 You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of YHWH shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
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, look, YHWH will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames 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 by fire will YHWH execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of YHWH shall be many.
Pakuti Yehova adzalanga anthu onse ndi moto ndi lupanga, Yehova adzapha anthu ambiri.
17 "Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says YHWH.
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 "For I know their works and their thoughts. I am coming to gather all nations and languages; and they will 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 "I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
“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 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to YHWH, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says YHWH, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of YHWH.
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 also take some of them for myself as priests and Levites," says YHWH.
Ndipo ndidzasankha ena mwa iwonso kukhala ansembe ndi Alevi,” akutero Yehova.
22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says YHWH, "so your descendants and your name shall remain.
“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 It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says YHWH.
“Anthu a mitundu yonse adzabwera kudzandipembedza ku Yerusalemu, pa chikondwerero chilichonse cha pokhala pa mwezi watsopano ndi tsiku la Sabata lililonse,” akutero Yehova.
24 "They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all mankind."
“Akamachoka adzaona mitembo ya anthu amene anandiwukira Ine. Mphutsi zawo sizidzafa, kapena moto wawo sudzazimitsidwa. Anthu a mitundu ina yonse powaona adzanyansidwa nawo.”
