Isaiah 22
1 The oracle on the valley of vision, —What aileth thee, then, That thou art wholly gone up to the house-tops?
Uthenga wonena za Chigwa cha Masomphenya: Kodi chachitika nʼchiyani, kuti nonsenu mukwere pa madenga?
2 With tumults, art thou filled, thou citadel in commotion! city exultant! Thy slain, are Not the slain, of the sword, Nor the dead in battle.
Iwe mzinda wodzaza ndi chisangalalo chodzaza tsaya, iwe mzinda waphokoso ndi wosokonekera? Anthu ako ophedwa aja sanaphedwe ndi lupanga, kapena kufera pa nkhondo.
3 All thy ruler, having fled, together, by the bow, are taken captive: All found in thee have been taken captive, together, Far away, have they fled.
Atsogoleri ako onse ngakhale anathawa limodzi; koma anagwidwa osadziteteza nʼkomwe. Inu munapezeka ndipo nonse pamodzi munatengedwa ukapolo, ngakhale munathawa pamene mdani akanali patali.
4 For this cause, I said—Look away from me, Bitterly, will I weep, —Do not press to comfort me, For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndinati, “Chokani pamaso panga; ndilekeni ndilire ndi mtima wowawa. Musayesere kunditonthoza chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa anthu anga.”
5 For a day of confusion and downtreading and perplexity, pertaineth to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the valley of vision, an undermining of walls, and a crying for help to the mountain.
Lero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse walola kuti tione mavuto ndi kugonjetsedwa ndiponso chisokonezo mʼChigwa cha Masomphenya. Malinga agumuka, komanso anthu akanalira mofuwula ku mapiri.
6 Yea, Elam, beareth the quiver, With trains of men, [and] horsemen, —And, Kir, hath uncovered the shield.
Ankhondo a ku Elamu anadza pa magaleta ndi akavalo ali ndi mivi mʼmanja. Ankhondo a ku Kiri anakonzeka ndi zishango.
7 And it hath come to pass that the choice of thy vales, are full of chariots; Yea, the horsemen, have set themselves, in array, at the gate.
Zigwa zanu zachonde ndi zodzaza ndi magaleta, ndipo asilikali okwera pa akavalo ayikidwa pa zipata za mzinda;
8 Then removed he the veil of Judah, —Yea thou didst peer on that day, into the armoury of the forest-house;
zonse zoteteza Yuda zachotsedwa. Ndipo tsiku limenelo munayangʼanayangʼana zida zankhondo zomwe zinali mʼnyumba yaufumu ya nkhalango;
9 And the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld for they were many, —So ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
inu munaona kuti makoma ambiri a mzinda wa Davide anali ndi malo ambiri ogumuka; munasunga madzi mu chidziwe chakumunsi.
10 And the houses of Jerusalem, ye counted, —And brake down the houses, to fortify the wall;
Munawerenga nyumba zonse za mu Yerusalemu ndipo munagwetsa nyumba zina kuti mulimbitse linga logumuka lija.
11 And a reservoir, ye made between the two walls, for the waters of the ancient pool, —And had no regard unto him that made it, Nor unto him that formed it long ago, had ye respect.
Pakati pa makoma awiri munamanga chitsime chosungiramo madzi ochokera ku dziwe lakale, koma inu simunadalire Mulungu amene anapanga zimenezi, kapena kusamalako za Iye amene anazilenga kale lomwe.
12 And, when My Lord Yahweh of hosts called in that day, —for weeping, and for lamentation, and for shaving bare and for girding with sackcloth,
Pa tsiku limenelo, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse anakuyitanani kuti mulire ndi kukhetsa misozi; kumeta mutu wanu mpala ndi kuvala ziguduli.
13 Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, —Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow, we may die!
Koma mʼmalo mwake inu munakondwa ndi kusangalala; munapha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa; munadya nyama ndi kumwa vinyo. Inu mumati, “Tiyeni tidye ndi kumwa pakuti mawa tifa!”
14 Therefore did Yahweh reveal himself in mine ears. Surely there shall be no propitiatory-covering put over this iniquity for you until ye die, Saith My Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wandiwululira mondinongʼoneza kuti, “Tchimo limeneli sindidzakhululuka mpaka tsiku la kufa kwanu,” akutero Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
15 Thus, said My Lord Yahweh, of hosts, Come go in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who is over the house:
Chimene Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Pita, ukanene kwa Sabina kapitawo, amene amayangʼanira nyumba yaufumu:
16 What doest thou here? And whom hast thou here? That thou hast hewn for thyself here a sepulchre, —As one hewing on high his sepulchre, Cutting out in the cliff a habitation for himself?
Kodi ukuchita chiyani kuno, nanga ndani anakupatsa chilolezo kuti udzikumbire manda kuno, kudzikumbira manda pa phiri ndi kudzisemera malo opumulira mʼthanthwe?
17 Lo! Yahweh, is about to hurl thee, with a hurl, O mighty man, —And roll thee with a roll;
“Samalira, Yehova watsala pangʼono kukugwira zolimba ndi kukuponya mwamphamvu, iwe munthu wamphamvu.
18 He will, toss, thee, with a toss, like a ball, into a country wide on both hands, —There, shalt thou die, And there shall thy glorious chariots be the contempt of the house of thy lord.
Iye adzakukulunga kwambiri ngati mpira ndipo adzakuponyera mʼdziko lalikulu. Kumeneko ndiko ukafere ndipo kumeneko ndiko kudzatsalire magaleta ako. Ndipo udzasanduka wochititsa manyazi nyumba ya mbuye wako.
19 Thus will I thrust thee out from thine office, —And from thy station, shall one tear thee down.
Ine ndidzakuchotsa pa ukapitawo wako ndipo ndidzakutsitsa pa udindo wako.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, That I will call for my servant, for Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
“Tsiku limenelo ndidzayitanitsa mtumiki wanga, Eliyakimu mwana wa Hilikiya.
21 And will clothe him with thy tunic And with thy girdle, will I gird him, And thine authority, will I deliver into his hand, —So shall he become a father To the inhabitant of Jerusalem and To the house of Judah.
Ndidzamuveka mkanjo wako ndi kumangira lamba wako mʼchiwuno mwake ndi kumupatsa ulamuliro wako. Iye adzakhala kholo la amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu ndiponso a fuko la Yuda.
22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, —And he shall open and none shall shut, And shut and none shall open;
Ndidzamupatsa ulamuliro wa banja la Davide. Adzatsekula ndipo palibe adzatseke, adzatseka popanda wina kutsekula.
23 And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, —And he shall become a throne of glory, to the house of his father;
Ufumu wake udzakhala wokhazikika ngati chikhomo chokhomedwa pa malo olimba. Anthu adzalemekeza nyumba ya abale ake chifukwa cha iye.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the weight of his father’s house—The offshoots and the side-twigs—All the small vessels, Both the cups and all the jugs
Ana ndi abale a nyumba ya abambo ake adzakhala ngati katundu pa iye ngati ziwiya zopanda ntchito zimene zapachikidwa pa chikhomo.
25 In that day, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts Shall the peg, give way, that was fastened in a sure place, —Yea it shall be cut off and fall And the burden that was upon it shall perish, For, Yahweh, hath spoken!
“Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akunena kuti, ‘Tsiku limeneli chikhomo chokhomedwa kwambiri chija sichidzalimbanso; chidzazuka ndipo chidzagwa ndipo zonse zopachikidwa zidzawonongedwa.’” Yehova wayankhula chomwechi.
