Isaiah 25
1 Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
Yehova ndinu Mulungu wanga; ine ndidzakukwezani ndi kutamanda dzina lanu, pakuti mwachita zodabwitsa zimene munakonzekeratu kalekale mokhulupirika kwambiri.
2 For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built.
Inu mwasandutsa mzinda uja kukhala mulu wamiyala. Ndipo mzinda wamalinga wasanduka bwinja, linga la anthu achilendo lero si mzindanso ndipo sidzamangidwanso.
3 Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
Nʼchifukwa chake anthu amphamvu adzakulemekezani; mizinda ya mitundu ya anthu ankhanza idzakuopani.
4 For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
Inu mwakhala ngati populumukira pa anthu osauka, mwakhala ngati kobisalirako munthu wovutika pa nthawi ya masautso ake. Mwakhala ngati pobisalirapo pa nthawi ya mphepo yamkuntho ndi mthunzi pa nthawi ya dzuwa. Pakuti anthu ankhanza ali ngati mphepo yamkuntho yowomba pa khoma,
5 As the heat in a dry place you will bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
ndiponso ngati kutentha mʼdziko lowuma. Inu mumaletsa phokoso la anthu achilendo. Monga momwe mthunzi wa mtambo umachepetsa kutentha, inu munaletsa nyimbo za anthu ankhanza.
6 In this mountain, Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
Pa phiri ili Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzakonzera anthu a mitundu yonse madyerero a zakudya zokoma ndi vinyo wabwino. Phwando la nyama yonona ndi vinyo wabwino kwambiri.
7 He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
Iye adzachotsa kulira kumene kwaphimba anthu ngati nsalu. Adzachotsa chinsalu chimene chakuta mitundu yonse ya anthu.
8 He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.
Yehova adzathetsa imfa mpaka muyaya, Ambuye Yehova adzapukuta misozi mʼmaso mwa munthu aliyense; adzachotsa manyazi a anthu ake pa dziko lonse lapansi, Yehova wayankhula.
9 It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”
Tsiku limenelo iwo adzati, “Ndithudi, uyu ndiye Mulungu wathu; ife tinamudalira ndipo anatipulumutsa. Uyu ndiye Yehova, ife tinamudalira; tiyeni tikondwe ndi kusangalala chifukwa watipulumutsa.”
10 For Yahweh’s hand will rest in this mountain. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.
Yehova adzateteza phiri limeneli ndi dzanja lake; ndipo Amowabu adzawapondereza pomwe alilipo, ngati mmene amapondera manyowa mʼdzenje.
11 He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
Amowabuwo adzatambasula manja awo mʼmenemo, ngati mmene amachitira munthu wosambira. Koma Mulungu adzathetsa kunyada kwawo ngakhale luso la manja awo.
12 He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
Iye adzagumula malinga awo ataliatali ndipo adzawagwetsa ndi kuwaponya pansi, pa fumbi penipeni.
