Isaiah 63
1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Kodi ndani uyo akubwera kuchokera ku Edomu, atavala zovala za ku Bozira za madontho ofiira? Kodi uyu ndani, amene wavala zovala zokongola, akuyenda mwa mphamvu zake? “Ndi Ineyo, woyankhula zachilungamo ndiponso wamphamvu zopulumutsa.”
2 Why art thou red in thy apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winepress?
Nanga bwanji zovala zanu zili psuu, ngati za munthu wofinya mphesa?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
“Ndapondereza ndekha anthu a mitundu ina ngati mphesa, palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe anali nane. Ndinawapondereza ndili wokwiya ndipo ndinawapondereza ndili ndi ukali; magazi awo anadothera pa zovala zanga, ndipo zovala zanga zonse zinathimbirira.
4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
Pakuti ndinatsimikiza mu mtima mwanga kuti lafika tsiku lolipsira anthu anga; ndipo chaka cha kuwomboledwa kwanga chafika.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my fury, it upheld me.
Ndinayangʼana ndipo panalibe munthu wondithandiza. Ndinadabwa kwambiri kuti panalibe wondichirikiza; choncho ndinapambana ndi mphamvu zanga, ndipo mkwiyo wanga unandilimbitsa.
6 And I will tread down the people in my anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
Ndinapondereza mitundu ya anthu ndili wokwiya; ndipo ndinawasakaza ndipo ndinathira magazi awo pansi.”
7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
Ndidzafotokoza za kukoma mtima kwa Yehova, ntchito zimene Iye ayenera kutamandidwa. Ndidzatamanda Yehova chifukwa cha zonse zimene watichitira. Inde, mwa chifundo ndi kukoma mtima kwake Yehova wachitira nyumba ya Israeli zinthu zabwino zambiri.
8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
Yehova anati, “Ndithu awa ndi anthu anga, ana anga amene sadzandinyenga Ine.” Choncho anawapulumutsa.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
Iyenso anasautsidwa mʼmasautso awo onse, ndipo mngelo wochokera kwa Iye anawapulumutsa. Mwa chikondi ndi chifundo chake iye anawapulumutsa, anawanyamula ndikuwatenga kuyambira kale lomwe.
10 But they rebelled, and vexed his Holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
Komabe iwo anawukira ndi kumvetsa chisoni Mzimu Woyera. Motero Yehova anatembenuka nakhala mdani wawo ndipo Iye mwini anamenyana nawo.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his Holy Spirit within him?
Pamenepo anthu ake anakumbukira masiku amakedzana, masiku a Mose mtumiki wake; ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Ali kuti Yehova amene anawawolotsa pa nyanja, pamodzi ndi Mose mʼbusa wawo? Ali kuti Iye amene anayika Mzimu Woyera pakati pawo?
12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
Ali kuti amene anachita zinthu zodabwitsa ndi mphamvu zake zazikulu kudzera mwa Mose? Ali kuti amene anagawa madzi pa nyanja anthu ake akuona, kuti dzina lake limveke mpaka muyaya,
13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
amene anawayendetsa pa nyanja yozama? Monga kavalo woyendayenda mʼchipululu, iwo sanapunthwe;
14 As a beast goeth down in the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
Mzimu Woyera unawapumulitsa ngati mmene ngʼombe zimapumulira. Umu ndi mmene Inu munatsogolera anthu anu kuti dzina lanu lilemekezeke.”
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy heart and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
Inu Yehova amene muli kumwambako, pa mpando wanu wolemekezeka, wopatulika ndi waulemerero, tiyangʼaneni ife. Kodi changu chanu ndi mphamvu zanu zili kuti? Simukutionetsanso kukoma mtima kwanu ndi chifundo chanu.
16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.
Koma Inu ndinu Atate athu, ngakhale Abrahamu satidziwa kapena Israeli kutivomereza ife; Inu Yehova, ndinu Atate athu, kuyambira kale dzina lanu ndinu Mpulumutsi wathu.
17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thy inheritance.
Chifukwa chiyani, Inu Yehova, mukutisocheretsa pa njira zanu? Bwanji mukutilola kuti tikhale owuma mitima kotero kuti sitikukuopaninso? Bwererani chifukwa cha atumiki anu; mafuko a anthu amene ali cholowa chanu.
18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Anthu anu atangokhala pa malo anu opatulika pa kanthawi kochepa, adani athu anasakaza malo anu opatulika.
19 We are thine: thou never didst bear rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
Ife tili ngati anthu amene simunawalamulirepo ngati iwo amene sanakhalepo anthu anu.
