Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that make unrighteous decrees, That write oppressive decisions,
Tsoka kwa anthu amene amapanga malamulo opanda chilungamo, kwa iwo amene amalemba zongovutitsa anzawo,
2 To turn away the needy from judgment, And rob the poor of my people of their right; That the widows may become their prey, And that they may plunder the orphans.
kuwalanda anthu osauka ufulu wawo ndi kumana chilungamo osautsidwa pakati pa anthu anga, amalanda zinthu za akazi amasiye ndi kubera ana amasiye.
3 What will ye do in the day of visitation, And in the desolation which cometh from afar? To whom will ye flee for help, And where will ye leave your glory?
Kodi mudzatani pa tsiku la chilango, pofika chiwonongeko chochokera kutali? Kodi mudzathawira kwa yani kuti akuthandizeni? Nanga chuma chanu mudzachisiya kuti?
4 Forsaken by me, they shall sink down among the prisoners, And fall among the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
Kudzatsala nʼkungozolika mwamanyazi pakati pa anthu ogwidwa kapena kufa pamodzi ndi ophedwa. Komabe pa zonsezi mkwiyo wake sunawachokere, mkono wake uli chitambasulire.
5 Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, The staff in whose hands is the instrument of my indignation!
“Tsoka kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya, chikwapu cha mkwiyo wanga, iye ndiye ndodo ya mkwiyo wanga!
6 Against an impious nation I will send him, And against a people under my wrath I will give him a charge To gather the spoil, and seize the prey, And to trample them under foot like the mire of the streets.
Ndidzamutuma kukalimbana ndi mtundu wosapembedza Mulungu, ndidzamutumiza kukalimbana ndi anthu amene amandikwiyitsa Ine, kukafunkha ndi kulanda chuma, ndi kuwapondereza pansi ngati matope a mʼmisewu.
7 But he doth not so purpose, And his heart doth not so intend; But to destroy is in his heart, And to cut off a multitude of nations.
Koma izi si zimene akufuna kukachita, izi si zimene zili mʼmaganizo mwake; cholinga chake ndi kukawononga, kukapulula mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
8 For he saith, “Are not my princes altogether kings?
Iye akuti, ‘Kodi atsogoleri anga ankhondo si mafumu okhaokha?’
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
‘Kodi Kalino sanagonjetsedwe monga Karikemesi? Kodi Hamati sali ngati Aripadi, nanga Samariya sali ngati Damasiko?
10 As my hand hath seized the kingdoms of the idols, Whose graven images were more numerous than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Dzanja langa linakantha maufumu a anthu opembedza mafano, mafumu amene mafano awo ndi aakulu kupambana Yerusalemu ndi Samariya;
11 Behold! as I have done to Samaria and her idols, So will I do to Jerusalem and her images.”
nanga Ine nʼkulephera kodi kuwononga Yerusalemu pamodzi ndi mafano ake monga ndinakanthira Samariya pamodzi ndi mafano ake?’”
12 But when the Lord hath accomplished his whole work upon Mount Zion and Jerusalem, Then will he punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, And the arrogance of his lofty eyes.
Ambuye akadzamaliza ntchito yonse yolanga phiri la Ziyoni ndi Yerusalemu adzalanganso mfumu ya ku Asiriya chifukwa cha kudzitama ndi kunyada kwake.
13 For he hath said: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom; for I am wise; I have removed the bounds of nations, I have plundered their treasures; As a hero have I brought down them that sat upon thrones.
Pakuti mfumuyo ikuti, “‘Ndachita zimenezi ndi dzanja langa, ndiponso ndi nzeru zanga, chifukwa ndine wozindikira zinthu. Ndinachotsa malire a mitundu ya anthu, ndinafunkha chuma chawo; ndinagonjetsa mafumu awo monga munthu wamphamvu.
14 The riches of the nations hath my hand seized, as a nest; As one gathereth eggs that have been left, So have I gathered the whole world. And there was none that moved the wing, Or that opened the beak, or that chirped.”
Dzanja langa lagwira chuma cha mitundu ya anthu ngati momwe munthu amagwirira chisa cha mbalame, ngati momwe anthu amatolera mazira osiyidwa, motero inenso ndinasonkhanitsa mayiko onse; palibe mbalame imene inakupiza mapiko ake, kapena kuyasama kukamwa kuti ilire.’”
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? As if the rod should wield him that lifteth it! As if the staff should lift up him that is not wood!
Kodi nkhwangwa ingathe kudzikuza kupambana woyigwiritsa ntchito, kapena macheka angathe kudzikuza kupambana wowagwiritsa ntchito? Ndiye kukhala ngati kuti chikwapu chikuzunguza munthu amene wachinyamula, kapena ngati kuti ndodo ikuopseza amene wayinyamula!
16 Wherefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send upon his fat ones leanness, And under his glory shall he kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzatumiza matenda owondetsa kwa ankhondo amphamvu; kunyada kwa mfumuyo kudzapsa ndi moto wosazima.
17 The light of Israel shall be a fire, And his Holy One a flame, Which shall burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.
Mulungu, Kuwala kwa Israeli, adzakhala ngati moto, Woyera uja wa Israeli adzakhala ngati malawi a moto. Motowo udzawatentha ndi kuwapsereza ngati minga ndi mkandankhuku pa tsiku limodzi.
18 The glory of his forest and of his fruitful field From the spirit even to the flesh shall he consume; It shall be with them as when a sick man fainteth.
Ankhondo ake adzawonongedwa ngati nkhalango yayikulu ndi ngati nthaka yachonde.
19 The remaining trees of the forest shall be few, So that a child may write them down.
Mitengo yotsalira ya mʼnkhalango zake idzakhala yochepa kwambiri, yoti ndi mwana yemwe ndi kuyiwerenga.
20 In that day shall the remnant of Israel, and they that have escaped of the house of Jacob, no more lean upon him that smote them; They shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Tsiku limenelo otsalira a ku Israeli, opulumuka a nyumba ya Yakobo, sadzadaliranso anthu amene anawakantha, koma adzadalira Yehova, Woyerayo wa Israeli.
21 The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty Potentate;
Otsalira adzabwerera, otsalira a Yakobo adzabwerera kwa Mulungu Wamphamvu.
22 For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, Only a remnant of them shall return. The devastation is decreed; It shall overflow with righteousness.
Iwe Israeli, ngakhale anthu ako achuluke ngati mchenga wa ku nyanja, otsala okha ndiwo adzabwerere. Chiwonongeko chalamulidwa, chidzaonetsa chilungamo chosefukira.
23 For devastation and punishment doth the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, execute in the midst of the whole land,
Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawononga ndithu dziko lonse monga momwe analamulira.
24 Yet thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Fear not, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, because of the Assyrian! With his rod indeed shall he smite thee, And lift up his staff against thee in the manner of Egypt;
Nʼchifukwa chake, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akunena kuti, “Inu anthu anga okhala mu Ziyoni, musawaope Asiriya, amene amakukanthani ndi ndodo nakumenyani ndi zibonga monga mmene Igupto anachitira.
25 But yet a very little while, and my indignation shall have past, And my anger shall destroy them.
Patsala pangʼonongʼono kuti mkwiyo wanga uchoke pa inu ndipo ndidzaonetsa ukali wanga pa iwo mpaka kuwawononga.”
26 Jehovah of hosts shall raise up against him a scourge, As he smote Midian at the rock of Horeb, And as he lifted up the rod against the sea; Yea, he shall lift it up, as in Egypt.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawakwapula ndi chikwapu, monga momwe anakwapulira Amidiyani ku thanthwe la Orebu; ndipo adzatukula ndodo yake pa madzi ndikuwalanga monga analangira Igupto pa nyanja.
27 In that day shall his burden be removed from thy shoulder, And his yoke from thy neck; Yea, thy yoke shall be broken, as that of a fat steer.
Tsiku limenelo katundu wawo adzachotsedwa pa mapewa anu, goli lawo lidzachoka mʼkhosi mwanu; golilo lidzathyoka chifukwa cha kunenepa kwambiri.
28 He is come to Aiath; he passeth through Migron; In Michmash he leaveth his baggage;
Adani alowa mu Ayati apyola ku Migironi; asunga katundu wawo ku Mikimasi.
29 They pass the strait; At Geba they make their night-quarters; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul fleeth.
Adutsa pa mpata uja, ndipo akuti, “Tikagona ku Geba” Rama akunjenjemera; Gibeya, mzinda wa Saulo ukuthawa.
30 Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Hear, O Laish! Alas, poor Anathoth!
Lilani mokweza, inu anthu a ku Galimu! Tchera khutu, iwe Laisa! Iwe Anatoti wosauka!
31 Madmenah hasteth away; The inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.
Anthu a ku Madimena akuthawa; anthu a ku Gebimu bisalani.
32 Yet one day shall he rest at Nob, Then shall he shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.
Lero lomwe lino adaniwo adzayima ku Nobu; adzagwedeza mikono yawo, kuopseza anthu a ku Ziyoni, pa phiri la Yerusalemu.
33 But behold! the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the branches with fearful force, And the high of stature shall be cut down, And the lofty shall be brought low.
Taonani, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, adzadula mwamphamvu nthambi za mitengo, mitengo yodzikweza idzadulidwa, mitengo yayitali idzagwetsedwa.
34 He shall hew the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon shall fall by a mighty hand.
Yehova adzadula ndi nkhwangwa mitengo ya mʼnkhalango yowirira; Lebanoni adzagwa pamaso pa Wamphamvu.
