Isaiah 54
1 Sing, O thou barren, that didst not hear! Break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that wast not in travail! For more are the children of the desolate Than of the married woman, saith Jehovah.
“Sangalala, iwe mayi wosabala, iwe amene sunabalepo mwana; imba nyimbo, ndi kufuwula mwachimwemwe, iwe amene sunamvepo ululu wa pobereka; chifukwa mkazi wosiyidwa adzakhala ndi ana ambiri kuposa mkazi wokwatiwa,” akutero Yehova.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, And let the canopy of thy habitation be extended! Spare not; lengthen thy cords, And make fast thy stakes!
Kulitsa malo omangapo tenti yako, tambasula kwambiri nsalu zake, usaleke; talikitsa zingwe zako, limbitsa zikhomo zako.
3 For on the right hand and on the left shalt thou burst forth with increase; And thy posterity shall inherit the nations, And people the desolate cities.
Pakuti udzasendeza malire ako kumanja ndi kumanzere; ndipo zidzukulu zako zidzalanda dziko la anthu a mitundu ina ndipo zidzakhala mʼmizinda yawo yosiyidwa.
4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded; Blush not, for thou shalt not be put to shame. For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, And the reproach of thy widowhood thou shalt remember no more.
“Usachite mantha; sadzakunyozanso. Usakhumudwe; sudzapeputsidwanso. Udzayiwala za manyazi zimene zinakuchitikira nthawi ya unyamata wako ndipo za manyazi zimene zinakuchitikira pa nthawi ya umasiye wako sudzazikumbukanso.
5 For thy husband is thy Maker; Jehovah of hosts is his name. Thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Pakuti Mlengi wako ali ngati mwamuna wako, dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Woyerayo wa Israeli ndiye Mpulumutsi wanu; dzina lake ndi Mulungu wa dziko lonse lapansi.
6 For as a woman forsaken, and deeply afflicted, hath Jehovah recalled thee, And as a wife wedded in youth, that hath been rejected, saith thy God.
Yehova wakuyitananso, uli ngati mkazi wosiyidwa ndi wodzaza ndi chisoni mu mtima, mkazi amene anakwatiwa pa unyamata wake kenaka nʼkukanidwa,” akutero Mulungu wako.
7 For a little moment I have forsaken thee, But with great mercy will I gather thee.
“Kwa kanthawi kochepa, Ine ndinakusiya, koma ndidzakutenganso chifukwa ndimakukonda kwambiri.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment. But with everlasting kindness will I have mercy upon thee, Saith thy redeemer, Jehovah.
Ndinakufulatira kwa kanthawi kochepa ndili wokwiya kwambiri. Koma ndi kukoma mtima kwanga kwa muyaya, ndidzakuchitira chifundo,” akutero Yehova Mpulumutsi wako.
9 As in the time of the waters of Noah, so shall it be now; As I swore that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, So do I swear that I will not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee.
“Kwa ine zimenezi zili ngati mmene zinalili mʼnthawi ya Nowa. Monga ndinalumbira nthawi imeneyo kuti sindidzawononganso dziko lapansi ndi madzi. Kotero tsopano ndalumbira kuti sindidzakupseraninso mtima, sindidzakudzudzulaninso.
10 For the mountains shall depart, And the hills be overthrown, But my kindness shall not depart from thee, Nor shall my covenant of peace be overthrown, Saith Jehovah, that hath pity on thee.
Ngakhale mapiri atagwedezeka ndi zitunda kusunthidwa, koma chikondi changa chosasinthika pa iwe sichidzatha. Pangano langa lamtendere silidzasintha,” akutero Yehova amene amakuchitira chifundo.
11 O thou afflicted, beaten with the storm, destitute of consolation! Behold, I lay thy stones in cement of vermilion, And thy foundations with sapphires.
“Iwe mzinda wozunzika, wokunthidwa ndi namondwe ndiponso wopanda wokutonthoza, Ine ndidzakongoletsa miyala yako. Maziko ako ndidzamanga ndi miyala ya safiro.
12 And I will make thy battlements of rubies, And thy gates of carbuncles, And all thy borders fill of precious stones.
Ndidzamanga nsanja zako zankhondo ndi miyala yokongola ya rubi. Ndidzamanga zipata zako ndi miyala yonyezimira ngati moto, ndipo linga lako lonse lidzakhala la miyala yamtengowapatali.
13 All thy children shall be taught by Jehovah, And great shall be the prosperity of thy children.
Yehova adzaphunzitsa ana ako onse, ndipo ana ako adzakhala ndi mtendere wochuluka.
14 By righteousness shalt thou be established; Be thou far from anxiety, for thou shalt have nothing to fear, And from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
Udzakhazikika mʼchilungamo chenicheni: Sudzakhalanso wopanikizika, chifukwa sudzaopa kanthu kalikonse. Sudzakhalanso ndi mantha chifukwa manthawo sadzafika pafupi ndi iwe.
15 If any be leagued against thee, it is not by my command; Whoever shall be leagued against thee shall come over to thee.
Ngati wina adzakuthirani nkhondo, si ndine amene ndachititsa; aliyense amene adzalimbana nanu adzagonja chifukwa cha iwe.
16 Behold, I create the smith, Who bloweth up the coals into a fire, And produceth an instrument for his work; I also create the destroyer to lay waste.
“Taona, ndi Ine amene ndinalenga munthu wosula zitsulo amene amakoleza moto wamakala ndi kusula zida zoti azigwiritse ntchito. Ndipo ndine amene ndinalenga munthu wosakaza kuti awononge;
17 Whatever weapon is formed against thee, it shall not prosper; And against every tongue that contendeth with thee, thou shalt obtain thy cause. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And the blessing which they receive from me, saith Jehovah.
palibe chida chopangidwa ndi mdani chimene chidzakupweteke, ndipo onse okuneneza pa mlandu udzawatsutsa. Umu ndimo adzapezekere atumiki a Yehova. Chipambano chawo chichokera kwa Ine,” akutero Yehova.
