Isaiah 1
1 [the] vision of Isaiah [the] son of Amoz which he saw on Judah and Jerusalem in [the] days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah [the] kings of Judah.
Masomphenya wonena za Yuda ndi Yerusalemu, amene Yesaya mwana wa Amozi, anaona pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Uziya, Yotamu, Ahazi ndi Hezekiya, mafumu a Yuda.
2 Hear O heavens and give ear O earth for Yahweh he has spoken children I have brought up and I have raised and they they have rebelled against me.
Tamverani, miyamba inu! Tchera khutu, iwe dziko lapansi! Pakuti Yehova wanena kuti, “Ndinabala ana ndi kuwalera, koma anawo andiwukira Ine.
3 It knows an ox owner its and a donkey [the] feeding trough of owner its Israel not it knows people my not it considers carefully.
Ngʼombe imadziwa mwini wake, bulu amadziwa kumene kuli gome la mbuye wake, koma Israeli sadziwa, anthu anga samvetsa konse.”
4 Woe to! - a nation [which] sins a people heavy of iniquity of spring [who] do evil children [who] behave corruptly they have forsaken Yahweh they have spurned [the] holy [one] of Israel they have become estranged back part.
Haa, mtundu wochimwa, anthu olemedwa ndi machimo, obadwa kwa anthu ochita zoyipa, ana odzipereka ku zoyipa! Iwo asiya Yehova; anyoza Woyerayo wa Israeli ndipo afulatira Iyeyo.
5 Concerning what? will you be struck again will you increase? rebellion all [the] head [is] for sickness and all [the] heart [is] faint.
Chifukwa chiyani mukufuna kuti muzingolangidwabe? Chifukwa chiyani mukupitirira kukhala mʼmoyo wowukira? Mutu wanu wonse uli ndi mabala, mtima wanu wonse wafowokeratu.
6 From [the] sole of [the] foot and to [the] head there not in it [is] soundness bruise[s] and welt[s] and wound[s] fresh not they have been pressed out and not they have been bound up and not it has been softened with oil.
Kuchokera ku phazi mpaka ku mutu palibe pabwino, paliponse pali mikwingwirima ndi zilonda, mabala ali magazi chuchuchu, mabala ake ngosatsuka, ngosamanga ndiponso ngosapaka mafuta ofewetsa.
7 Land your [is] a desolation cities your [have been] burned fire ground your to before you strangers [are] devouring it and desolation [is] like [the] overthrow of strangers.
Dziko lanu lasanduka bwinja, mizinda yanu yatenthedwa ndi moto; minda yanu ikukololedwa ndi alendo inu muli pomwepo, dziko lanu lasanduka bwinja monga ngati lagonjetsedwa ndi alendo.
8 And she has been left [the] daughter of Zion like a shelter in a vineyard like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field like a city besieged.
Mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni watsala yekha ngati nsanja mʼmunda wampesa, ngati chisimba mʼmunda wa minkhaka, ngati mzinda wozingidwa ndi nkhondo.
9 If not Yahweh of hosts he had left to us survivor[s] like a little like Sodom we were Gomorrah we were like.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akanapanda kutisiyira opulumuka, tikanawonongeka ngati Sodomu, tikanakhala ngati anthu a ku Gomora.
10 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O rulers of Sodom give ear to [the] instruction of God our O people of Gomorrah.
Imvani mawu a Yehova, inu olamulira Sodomu; mverani lamulo la Mulungu wathu, inu anthu a ku Gomora!
11 Why? to me [the] multitude of sacrifices your he says Yahweh I have been surfeited burnt offerings of rams and [the] fat of fatlings and [the] blood of bulls and lambs and goats not I am pleased.
Yehova akuti, “Kodi ndili nazo chiyani nsembe zanu zochuluka?” “Zandikola nsembe zanu zopsereza za nkhosa zazimuna ndiponso mafuta a nyama zonenepa; sindikusangalatsidwanso ndi magazi angʼombe zamphongo ndi a ana ankhosa ndi ambuzi zazimuna.
12 If you come to present yourselves presence my who? did he require this from hand your to trample courts my.
Ndani anakulamulirani kuti mubwere nazo pamaso panga? Ndani anakuwuzani kuti muzipondaponda mʼmabwalo a nyumba yanga?
13 Not you must repeat to bring an offering of worthlessness incense [is] an abomination it to me new moon and sabbath [the] calling of convocation[s] not I am able to endure wickedness and solemn assembli[es].
Siyani kubweretsa nsembe zachabechabezo! Nsembe zanu zofukiza zimandinyansa Ine. Sindingapirire misonkhano yanu yoyipa, kapenanso zikondwerero za Mwezi Watsopano ndi Masabata.
14 New moons your and appointed feasts your it hates self my they have become on me a burden I am weary to bear [them].
Zikondwerero zanu za Mwezi Watsopano ndi masiku anu opatulika ndimadana nazo. Zasanduka katundu wondilemera; ndatopa kuzinyamula.
15 And when spread out you hands your I will hide eyes my from you also for you will multiply prayer not I [will be] hearing hands your blood they are full.
Mukamatambasula manja anu popemphera, Ine sindidzakuyangʼanani; ngakhale muchulukitse mapemphero anu, sindidzakumverani. Manja anu ndi odzaza ndi magazi;
16 Wash cleanse yourselves remove [the] wickedness of deeds your from before eyes my cease to do evil.
sambani, dziyeretseni. Chotsani pamaso panu ntchito zanu zoyipa! Lekani kuchita zoyipa,
17 learn To do good seek justice set right [the] oppressor vindicate [the] fatherless conduct a case for [the] widow.
phunzirani kuchita zabwino! Funafunani chilungamo, thandizani oponderezedwa. Tetezani ana amasiye, muwayimirire akazi amasiye pa milandu yawo.”
18 Come please so let us argue our case together he says Yahweh though they are sins your like scarlet like snow they will become white though they are red like crimson like wool they will be.
Yehova akuti, “Tiyeni tsono tikambe mlandu wanu. Ngakhale machimo anu ali ofiira, adzayera ngati thonje. Ngakhale ali ofiira ngati kapezi, adzayera ngati ubweya wankhosa.
19 If you will be willing and you will obey [the] good thing[s] of the land you will eat.
Ngati muli okonzeka kundimvera mudzadya zinthu zabwino za mʼdziko;
20 And if you will refuse and you will rebel [the] sword you will be eaten for [the] mouth of Yahweh it has spoken.
koma mukakana ndi kuwukira mudzaphedwa ndi lupanga.” Pakuti Yehova wayankhula.
21 How! it has become a prostitute a town faithful full of justice righteousness it lodged in it and now murderers.
Taonani momwe mzinda wokhulupirika wasandukira wadama! Mzinda umene kale unali wodzaza ndi chiweruzo cholungama; mu mzindamo munali chilungamo, koma tsopano muli anthu opha anzawo!
22 Silver your it has become dross drink your [has been] mixed with water.
Siliva wako wasanduka wachabechabe, vinyo wako wabwino wasungunulidwa ndi madzi.
23 Leaders your [are] rebels and companions of thieves all of it [is] loving a bribe and [is] pursuing rewards [the] fatherless not they vindicate and [the] lawsuit of a widow not it comes to them.
Atsogoleri ako ndi owukira, anthu ogwirizana ndi mbala; onse amakonda ziphuphu ndipo amathamangira mphatso. Iwo sateteza ana amasiye; ndipo samvera madandawulo a akazi amasiye.
24 Therefore [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts [the] mighty one of Israel woe! I will ease myself from foes my and I will avenge myself from enemies my.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvu, Wamphamvuyo wa Israeli, akunena kuti, “Haa, odana nane ndidzawatha, ndipo ndidzawabwezera ndekha adani anga.
25 And I will turn hand my on you so I may refine like potash dross your and I will remove all slag your.
Ndidzatambasula dzanja langa kuti ndilimbane nawe; ndidzasungunula machimo ako nʼkuwachotsa, monga mmene amachotsera dzimbiri ndi mankhwala.
26 And I will restore judges your as at the former [time] and counselors your as at the beginning after thus it will be called to you [the] city of righteousness a town faithful.
Ndidzabwezeretsa oweruza ako ngati masiku amakedzana, aphungu ako ndidzawabwezeretsa ngati poyamba paja. Kenaka iweyo udzatchedwa mzinda wolungama, mzinda wokhulupirika.”
27 Zion with justice it will be redeemed and repentant [ones] its with righteousness.
Ziyoni adzawomboledwa mwa chiweruzo cholungama, anthu ake olapadi adzapulumutsidwa mwachilungamo.
28 And a crushing of rebels and sinners together and [those who] forsake Yahweh they will come to an end.
Koma owukira ndi ochimwa adzawawonongera pamodzi, ndipo amene asiya Yehova adzatheratu.
29 For they will be ashamed from [the] oaks which you have desired and you may be abashed from the gardens which you have chosen.
“Mudzachita nayo manyazi mitengo ya thundu imene inkakusangalatsani; mudzagwetsa nkhope chifukwa cha minda imene munayipatula.
30 For you will be like an oak [which is] withering leafage its and like a garden which water not [belongs] to it.
Mudzakhala ngati mtengo wa thundu umene masamba ake akufota, mudzakhala ngati munda wopanda madzi.
31 And he will become the strong [person] tow and work his a spark and they will burn both of them together and there not [will be one who] extinguishes.
Munthu wamphamvu adzasanduka ngati udzu wowuma, ndipo ntchito zake zidzakhala ngati mbaliwali; motero zonse zidzayakira limodzi, popanda woti azimitse motowo.”
