Isaiah 32
1 Behold! a king shall reign in righteousness, And princes shall rule with equity.
Taonani, kudzakhala mfumu ina imene idzalamulira mwachilungamo, ndipo akalonga ake adzaweruza molungama.
2 Every one of them shall be a hiding-place from the wind, And a shelter from the tempest; As streams of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a great 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 them that see shall no more be blind, And the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
Ndipo maso a anthu openya sadzakhalanso otseka, ndipo makutu a anthu akumva adzamvetsetsa.
4 The heart of the rash shall gain wisdom, And the tongue of the stammerer learn to speak plainly.
Anthu a mtima wopupuluma adzadziwa ndi kuchita zinthu mofatsa, ndipo anthu ovutika kuyankhula adzayankhula mosadodoma ndi momveka.
5 The vile shall no more be called liberal, Nor the niggard said to be bountiful;
Chitsiru sichidzatchedwanso munthu waulemu wake ndipo munthu woyipa sadzalemekezedwa.
6 For the vile will still utter villany, And his heart will devise iniquity; He will practise deception, and speak impiety against God; He will take away the food of the hungry, And deprive the thirsty of drink.
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 instruments also of the niggard are evil; He plotteth mischievous devices, To destroy the poor with lying words, Even when the cause of the needy is just.
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 liberal deviseth liberal things, And in liberal things will he persevere.
Koma munthu wolemekezeka amalingaliranso kuchita zinthu zabwino, Iye amakhazikika pa zinthu zabwinozo.
9 Arise, hear my voice, ye women that are at ease! Give ear to my speech, ye careless daughters!
Khalani maso, inu akazi amene mukungokhala wopanda kulingalira kuti kunja kulinji ndipo imvani mawu anga. Inu akazi odzitama, imvani zimene ndikunena!
10 One year more, and ye shall tremble, ye careless women! For the vintage shall fail; the harvest shall not come.
Pakapita chaka ndi masiku pangʼono inu akazi amatama mudzanjenjemera; chifukwa mitengo ya mphesa idzakanika ndipo zipatso sizidzaoneka.
11 Tremble, O ye that are at ease! Be in dismay, ye careless ones! Strip you, make you bare, gird ye sackcloth upon your loins!
Nthunthumirani inu okhala mosatekesekanu; ndipo njenjemerani, inu akazi omadzikhulupirira nokhanu. Vulani zovala zanu, ndipo valani ziguduli mʼchiwuno mwanu.
12 They shall smite themselves on their breasts, On account of the pleasant fields, On account of the fruitful vine.
Dzigugudeni pachifuwa mwachisoni chifukwa minda yachonde, ndi mphesa yawonongeka.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; Yea, upon 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 shall be forsaken; The tumult of the city shall be solitary; The fortified hill and the tower shall be dens forever; The joy of wild-asses, the 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 from on high be poured upon us, And the wilderness become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed a forest.
Yehova adzatipatsa mzimu wake, ndipo dziko lachipululu lidzasanduka munda wachonde, ndipo munda wachonde udzakhala ngati nkhalango.
16 Then shall justice dwell in the wilderness, And righteousness in the fruitful field.
Tsono mʼchipululu mudzakhala chiweruzo cholungama ndipo mʼminda yachonde mudzakhala chilungamo.
17 And the effect of righteousness shall be peace, And the fruit of righteousness quiet and security forever.
Mtendere udzakhala chipatso chachilungamo; zotsatira za chilungamo zidzakhala bata ndi kudzidalira mpaka muyaya.
18 Then shall my people dwell in peaceful habitations, In secure dwellings, in quiet resting-places.
Anthu anga adzakhala mʼmidzi yamtendere, mʼnyumba zodalirika, ndi malo osatekeseka a mpumulo.
19 But the hail shall descend, and the forest shall fall; And the city shall be brought very low.
Ngakhale nkhalango idzawonongedwa ndi matalala ndipo mzinda udzagwetsedwa mpaka pansi,
20 Happy ye who sow beside all waters; Who send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass!
inutu mudzakhala odalitsika ndithu. Mudzadzala mbewu zanu mʼmbali mwa mtsinje uliwonse, ndipo ngʼombe zanu ndi abulu anu zidzadya paliponse.
