Isaiah 54
1 Shout in triumph, O barren one, Who hadst not borne, —Break forth into shouts of triumph—and trill thy voice, Who hadst not travailed in birth, For, more, are the children of the Desolate Than the children of Her who had the husband, Saith Yahweh.
“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 space of thy tent And the curtains of thy habitations, let them spread forth do not spare, —Lengthen thy cords, And thy tent-pins, make thou fast;
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 break forth, —And thy seed, shall of the nations, take possession, And forsaken cities, shall they cause to be inhabited.
Pakuti udzasendeza malire ako kumanja ndi kumanzere; ndipo zidzukulu zako zidzalanda dziko la anthu a mitundu ina ndipo zidzakhala mʼmizinda yawo yosiyidwa.
4 Do not fear for thou shalt not turn pale, Neither feel disgraced for thou shalt not be put to the blush, —For, the shame of thy youth, shalt thou forget, And the reproach of thy widowhood, shalt thou 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, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name, —And, thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, The God of all the 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, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, hath Yahweh called thee, —Even the wife of youthful days, in that thou wast 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 small moment, I forsook thee, —But, with abounding compassions, do I embrace thee:
“Kwa kanthawi kochepa, Ine ndinakusiya, koma ndidzakutenganso chifukwa ndimakukonda kwambiri.
8 In an overflow of vexation, I hid my face for a moment, from thee, But, with lovingkindness age-abiding, have I had compassion on thee, —saith thy Redeemer Yahweh.
Ndinakufulatira kwa kanthawi kochepa ndili wokwiya kwambiri. Koma ndi kukoma mtima kwanga kwa muyaya, ndidzakuchitira chifundo,” akutero Yehova Mpulumutsi wako.
9 For, the waters of Noah, is this unto me, —As to which I sware that the waters of Noah should not again pass over the earth, So have I sworn Not to be vexed with thee Nor to 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, may move away, And the hills, may be shaken, —But, my lovingkindness, from thee, shall not move away, And, my covenant of peace, shall not be shaken, saith he who hath compassion upon thee—Yahweh.
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 humbled one storm-tossed, uncomforted, —Lo! I, am about to set in antimony, thy stones, And will found thee in sapphires;
“Iwe mzinda wozunzika, wokunthidwa ndi namondwe ndiponso wopanda wokutonthoza, Ine ndidzakongoletsa miyala yako. Maziko ako ndidzamanga ndi miyala ya safiro.
12 And make rubies, thy battlements, And thy gates, sparkling stones, —And, all thy boundaries, stones of delight;
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 And, all thy children, shall be the instructed of Yahweh, —And, great, shall be the prosperity of thy children.
Yehova adzaphunzitsa ana ako onse, ndipo ana ako adzakhala ndi mtendere wochuluka.
14 In righteousness, shalt thou be established, —Be thou far from oppression—But indeed thou shalt not fear, And from crushing calamity—But indeed it shall not come nigh unto thee.
Udzakhazikika mʼchilungamo chenicheni: Sudzakhalanso wopanikizika, chifukwa sudzaopa kanthu kalikonse. Sudzakhalanso ndi mantha chifukwa manthawo sadzafika pafupi ndi iwe.
15 Lo! they would, quarrel, with thee—not at all from me, —Whoso hath quarrelled with thee, over thee, shall fall.
Ngati wina adzakuthirani nkhondo, si ndine amene ndachititsa; aliyense amene adzalimbana nanu adzagonja chifukwa cha iwe.
16 Lo! I, have created the smith, who bloweth up a fire of coals, And who bringeth forth an instrument for his work, —And, I, have created the waster to destroy:
“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 No instrument formed against thee, shall prosper, And every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, shalt thou prove to be lawless, —This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh. And, their righteousness, is from me, Declareth Yahweh.
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.
