Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What — to thee, now, that thou hast gone up, All of thee — to the roofs?
Uthenga wonena za Chigwa cha Masomphenya: Kodi chachitika nʼchiyani, kuti nonsenu mukwere pa madenga?
2 Full of stirs — a noisy city — an exulting city, Thy pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor dead in battle.
Iwe mzinda wodzaza ndi chisangalalo chodzaza tsaya, iwe mzinda waphokoso ndi wosokonekera? Anthu ako ophedwa aja sanaphedwe ndi lupanga, kapena kufera pa nkhondo.
3 All thy rulers fled together from the bow, Bound have been all found of thee, They have been kept bound together, Afar off they have fled.
Atsogoleri ako onse ngakhale anathawa limodzi; koma anagwidwa osadziteteza nʼkomwe. Inu munapezeka ndipo nonse pamodzi munatengedwa ukapolo, ngakhale munathawa pamene mdani akanali patali.
4 Therefore I said, 'Look ye from me, I am bitter in my weeping, Haste not to comfort me, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.'
Nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndinati, “Chokani pamaso panga; ndilekeni ndilire ndi mtima wowawa. Musayesere kunditonthoza chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa anthu anga.”
5 For a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In the valley of vision, digging down a wall, And crying unto the mountain.
Lero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse walola kuti tione mavuto ndi kugonjetsedwa ndiponso chisokonezo mʼChigwa cha Masomphenya. Malinga agumuka, komanso anthu akanalira mofuwula ku mapiri.
6 And Elam hath borne a quiver, In a chariot of men — horsemen, And Kir hath exposed a shield.
Ankhondo a ku Elamu anadza pa magaleta ndi akavalo ali ndi mivi mʼmanja. Ankhondo a ku Kiri anakonzeka ndi zishango.
7 And it cometh to pass, The choice of thy valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen place themselves diligently at the gate.
Zigwa zanu zachonde ndi zodzaza ndi magaleta, ndipo asilikali okwera pa akavalo ayikidwa pa zipata za mzinda;
8 And one removeth the covering of Judah, And thou lookest in that day Unto the armour of the house of the forest,
zonse zoteteza Yuda zachotsedwa. Ndipo tsiku limenelo munayangʼanayangʼana zida zankhondo zomwe zinali mʼnyumba yaufumu ya nkhalango;
9 And the breaches of the city of David ye have seen, For they have become many, And ye gather the waters of the lower pool,
inu munaona kuti makoma ambiri a mzinda wa Davide anali ndi malo ambiri ogumuka; munasunga madzi mu chidziwe chakumunsi.
10 And the houses of Jerusalem ye did number, And ye break down the houses to fence the wall.
Munawerenga nyumba zonse za mu Yerusalemu ndipo munagwetsa nyumba zina kuti mulimbitse linga logumuka lija.
11 And a ditch ye made between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And ye have not looked unto its Maker, And its Framer of old ye have not seen.
Pakati pa makoma awiri munamanga chitsime chosungiramo madzi ochokera ku dziwe lakale, koma inu simunadalire Mulungu amene anapanga zimenezi, kapena kusamalako za Iye amene anazilenga kale lomwe.
12 And call doth the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of sackcloth,
Pa tsiku limenelo, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse anakuyitanani kuti mulire ndi kukhetsa misozi; kumeta mutu wanu mpala ndi kuvala ziguduli.
13 And lo, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
Koma mʼmalo mwake inu munakondwa ndi kusangalala; munapha ngʼombe ndi nkhosa; munadya nyama ndi kumwa vinyo. Inu mumati, “Tiyeni tidye ndi kumwa pakuti mawa tifa!”
14 And revealed it hath been in mine ears, [By] Jehovah of Hosts: Not pardoned is this iniquity to you, Till ye die, said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wandiwululira mondinongʼoneza kuti, “Tchimo limeneli sindidzakhululuka mpaka tsiku la kufa kwanu,” akutero Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
15 Thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts: 'Go, enter in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who [is] over the house:
Chimene Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Pita, ukanene kwa Sabina kapitawo, amene amayangʼanira nyumba yaufumu:
16 What — to thee here? And who — to thee here? That thou hast hewn out to thee here — a sepulchre? Hewing on high his sepulchre, Graving in a rock a dwelling for himself.
Kodi ukuchita chiyani kuno, nanga ndani anakupatsa chilolezo kuti udzikumbire manda kuno, kudzikumbira manda pa phiri ndi kudzisemera malo opumulira mʼthanthwe?
17 Lo, Jehovah is casting thee up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,
“Samalira, Yehova watsala pangʼono kukugwira zolimba ndi kukuponya mwamphamvu, iwe munthu wamphamvu.
18 And thy coverer covering, wrapping round, Wrappeth thee round, O babbler, On a land broad of sides — there thou diest, And there the chariots of thine honour [Are] the shame of the house of thy lord.
Iye adzakukulunga kwambiri ngati mpira ndipo adzakuponyera mʼdziko lalikulu. Kumeneko ndiko ukafere ndipo kumeneko ndiko kudzatsalire magaleta ako. Ndipo udzasanduka wochititsa manyazi nyumba ya mbuye wako.
19 And I have thrust thee from thy station, And from thine office he throweth thee down.
Ine ndidzakuchotsa pa ukapitawo wako ndipo ndidzakutsitsa pa udindo wako.
20 And it hath come to pass, in that day, That I have called to my servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
“Tsiku limenelo ndidzayitanitsa mtumiki wanga, Eliyakimu mwana wa Hilikiya.
21 And I have clothed him with thy coat, And with thy girdle I strengthen him, And thy garment I give into his hand, And he hath been for a father to the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.
Ndidzamuveka mkanjo wako ndi kumangira lamba wako mʼchiwuno mwake ndi kumupatsa ulamuliro wako. Iye adzakhala kholo la amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu ndiponso a fuko la Yuda.
22 And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath shut, and none is opening.
Ndidzamupatsa ulamuliro wa banja la Davide. Adzatsekula ndipo palibe adzatseke, adzatseka popanda wina kutsekula.
23 And I have fixed him a nail in a stedfast place, And he hath been for a throne of honour To the house of his father.
Ufumu wake udzakhala wokhazikika ngati chikhomo chokhomedwa pa malo olimba. Anthu adzalemekeza nyumba ya abale ake chifukwa cha iye.
24 And they have hanged on him All the honour of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons.
Ana ndi abale a nyumba ya abambo ake adzakhala ngati katundu pa iye ngati ziwiya zopanda ntchito zimene zapachikidwa pa chikhomo.
25 In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Moved is the nail that is fixed In a stedfast place, Yea, it hath been cut down, and hath fallen, And cut off hath been the burden that [is] on it, For Jehovah hath spoken!'
“Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akunena kuti, ‘Tsiku limeneli chikhomo chokhomedwa kwambiri chija sichidzalimbanso; chidzazuka ndipo chidzagwa ndipo zonse zopachikidwa zidzawonongedwa.’” Yehova wayankhula chomwechi.
