Isaiah 56
1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation [is] near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Yehova akuti, “Chitani chilungamo ndi zinthu zabwino, chifukwa chipulumutso changa chili pafupi ndipo ndidzakuwombolani posachedwapa.
2 Blessed [is] the man [that] doeth this, and the son of man [that] layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Ndi wodala munthu amene amachita zimenezi, munthu amene amalimbika kuzichita, amene amasunga Sabata osaliyipitsa, ndipo amadziletsa kuchita zoyipa.”
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I [am] a dry tree.
Mlendo amene waphatikana ndi Yehova asanene kuti, “Ndithu Yehova wandichotsa pakati pa anthu ake.” Ndipo munthu wofulidwa asanene kuti, “Ine ndine mtengo wowuma basi.”
4 For thus saith the LORD to the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose [the things] that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
Popeza Yehova akuti, “Wofulidwa amene amasunga masabata anga, nachita zokomera Ine ndi kusunga pangano langa,
5 Even to them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
ndidzawapatsa dzina ndi mbiri yabwino mʼkati mwa Nyumba yanga ndi makoma ake, kuposa kukhala ndi ana aamuna ndi aakazi. Ndidzawapatsa dzina labwino, losatha ndi losayiwalika.”
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
Yehova akuti, “Alendo amene amadziphatika kwa Yehova, motero kuti amamutumikira Iye, amakonda dzina la Yehova, amamugwirira ntchito, komanso kusunga Sabata osaliyipitsa ndi kusunga bwino pangano langa,
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [shall be] accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.
amenewa Ine ndidzawafikitsa ku phiri langa lopatulika, ndidzawapatsa chimwemwe mʼnyumba yanga ya mapemphero. Zopereka zawo zopsereza ndi nsembe zawo ndidzazilandira pa guwa langa la nsembe. Paja nyumba yanga idzatchedwa nyumba ya mapemphero ya anthu a mitundu yonse.”
8 The Lord GOD who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, Yet will I gather [others] to him, besides those that are gathered to him.
Ambuye Yehova, amene amasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse ali ku ukapolo akunena kuti, “Ndidzasonkhanitsano anthu ena kuwonjezera amene anasonkhana kale.”
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yes, all ye beasts in the forest.
Bwerani, inu zirombo zonse zakuthengo, inu nonse zirombo zamʼnkhalango bwerani mudzadye!
10 His watchmen [are] blind: they are all ignorant, they [are] all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Atsogoleri onse a Israeli ndi akhungu, onse ndi opanda nzeru; onse ndi agalu opanda mawu, samatha kuwuwa: amagona pansi nʼkumalota amakonda kugona tulo.
11 Yes, [they are] greedy dogs [which] can never have enough, and they [are] shepherds [that] cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Ali ngati agalu amene ali ndi njala yayikulu; sakhuta konse. Abusa nawonso samvetsa zinthu; onse amachita monga akufunira, aliyense amafunafuna zomupindulitsa iye mwini.
12 Come ye, [say they], I will bring wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.
Aliyense amafuwulira mnzake kuti, “Bwera, tiye timwe vinyo! Tiyeni timwe mowa mpaka kukhuta! Mawa lidzakhala ngati leroli, kapena kuposa lero lino.”
