< Isaiah 19 >

1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh unto Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
Uthenga onena za Igupto: Taonani, Yehova wakwera pa mtambo waliwiro, ndipo akupita ku Igupto. Mafano a ku Igupto akunjenjemera pamaso pake, ndipo mitima ya Aigupto yachokamo ndi mantha.
2 And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, [and] kingdom against kingdom.
“Ine ndidzadzutsa Aigupto kuti amenyane okhaokha; mʼbale adzamenyana ndi mʼbale wake, mnansi ndi mnansi wake, mzinda ndi mzinda unzake, ndiponso ufumu ndi ufumu unzake.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall be made void in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
Aigupto adzataya mtima popeza ndidzalepheretsa zolinga zawo; adzapempha nzeru kwa mafano awo ndiponso kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa, kwa amawula ndi kwa oyankhula ndi mizimu.
4 And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
Ndidzawapereka Aigupto kwa olamulira ankhanza, ndipo mfumu yoopsa idzawalamulira,” akutero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry.
Madzi a mu mtsinje wa Nailo adzaphwa, ndipo mʼmbali mwa mtsinje mudzangʼaluka ndi kuwuma.
6 And the rivers shall stink; the streams of Egypt shall be minished and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither away.
Ngalande zake zidzanunkha; ndipo mitsinje ya Igupto idzayamba kuchepa ndi kuwuma. Bango ndi dulu zidzafota,
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all that is sown by the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
ndiponso zomera za mʼmphepete mwa Nailo ndi ku mathiriro a mtsinjewo. Zonse zodzalidwa mʼmbali mwa Nailo zidzawuma, zidzawuluzika ndipo sizidzaonekanso.
8 The fishers also shall lament, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
Asodzi adzabuwula ndi kudandaula, onse amene amaponya mbedza mu Nailo; onse amene amaponya makoka mʼmadzi adzalira.
9 Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave white cloth, shall be ashamed.
Amene amagwira ntchito yopota thonje adzataya mtima, anthu oluka nsalu zofewa zabafuta adzataya chiyembekezo.
10 And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, all they that work for hire [shall be] grieved in soul.
Akatswiri opanga nsalu adzangoti kakasi, ndipo anthu onse ogwira ntchito yolipidwa adzatheratu mphamvu.
11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
Akuluakulu a ku Zowani ndi zitsiru; aphungu a nzeru a Farao amalangiza zopusa. Kodi mungathe kunena bwanji kwa Farao kuti, “Ine ndine mmodzi mwa anthu anzeru, wophunzira wa mafumu akale?”
12 Where then are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now; and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt.
Iwe Farao, anthu ako anzeru ali kuti? Abweretu kuti akuwuze ndi kukudziwitsa zimene Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wakonza kuchitira dziko la Igupto.
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner stone of her tribes.
Akuluakulu a ku Zowani asanduka zitsiru, atsogoleri a ku Mefisi anamizidwa; atsogoleri a dziko la Igupto asocheretsa anthu a dzikolo.
14 The LORD hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her: and they have caused Egypt to go astray in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
Yehova wasocheretsa anthu a ku Igupto. Iwo akuchita kudzandira pa zonse zimene akuchita, ngati chidakwa choterereka pa masanzi ake.
15 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
Palibe chimene munthu wa mu Igupto angachite, mtsogoleri kapena wotsatira, nthambi ya kanjedza kapena bango.
16 It In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
Tsiku limenelo Aigupto adzakhala ngati amayi. Adzanjenjemera ndi kuchita mantha akadzaona Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, atakweza dzanja lake kufuna kuwalanga.
17 And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt, every one to whom mention is made thereof shall be afraid, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts, which he purposeth against it.
Ndipo dziko la Yuda lidzaopsa dziko la Aigupto. Aliyense amene adzamve dzina la Yuda adzaopsedwa chifukwa cha zimene Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wakonzekera kuchitira dziko la Igupto.
18 In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called The city of destruction.
Tsiku limenelo ku dziko la Igupto kudzakhala mizinda isanu yoyankhula chiyankhulo cha Akanaani, ndipo anthu ake adzalumbira kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse kuti adzamutumikira. Umodzi mwa mizindayo udzatchedwa Mzinda Wachilungamo.
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
Tsiku limenelo mʼkati mwa dziko la Igupto mudzakhala guwa lansembe la Yehova, ndipo mʼmalire mwake adzayikira Yehova mwala wachikumbutso.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a defender, and he shall deliver them.
Zimenezo zidzakhala umboni wozindikiritsa kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse alimo mʼdziko la Igupto. Pamene Aigupto adzalirira Yehova chifukwa cha owapondereza, Iye adzawatumizira mpulumutsi ndi mtetezi ndipo adzawalanditsa.
21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and oblation, and shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and shall perform it.
Kotero Yehova adzadziulula yekha kwa Aigupto, ndipo tsiku limenelo adzadziwa Yehova. Adzapembedza Yehova popereka nsembe ndi popereka zopereka zachakudya; Adzalumbira kwa Yehova ndipo adzachita zimene alumbirazo.
22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they shall return unto the LORD, and he shall be entreated of them, and shall heal them.
Yehova adzakantha Aigupto ndi mliri. Iye adzawakanthadi ndipo kenaka adzawachiritsa. Aigupto adzatembenukira kwa Yehova ndipo Iye adzamva madandawulo awo ndi kuwachiritsa.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
Tsiku limenelo kudzakhala msewu waukulu wochoka ku Igupto kupita ku Asiriya. Aasiriya adzapita ku Igupto ndi Aigupto ku Asiriya. Aigupto ndi Aasiriya adzapembedza pamodzi.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth:
Tsiku limenelo Israeli adzakhala pamodzi ndi Igupto ndi Asiriya, mayiko atatuwa adzakhala dalitso pa dziko lapansi.
25 for that the LORD of hosts hath blessed them, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawadalitsa, ndi mawu awa, “Adalitsike anthu anga Aigupto, Aasiriya, ntchito ya manja anga, ndi Aisraeli osankhidwa anga.”
