Isaiah 56
1 Thus said Jehovah: 'Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness, For near [is] My salvation to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.'
Yehova akuti, “Chitani chilungamo ndi zinthu zabwino, chifukwa chipulumutso changa chili pafupi ndipo ndidzakuwombolani posachedwapa.
2 O the happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting it, And keeping 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 Nor speak let a son of the stranger, Who is joined unto Jehovah, saying: 'Jehovah doth certainly separate me from His people.' Nor say let the eunuch, 'Lo, I am a tree dried up,'
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 said Jehovah of the eunuchs, Who do keep My sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on My covenant:
Popeza Yehova akuti, “Wofulidwa amene amasunga masabata anga, nachita zokomera Ine ndi kusunga pangano langa,
5 I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, A name age-during I give to him That is not 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 And sons of the stranger, who are joined to Jehovah, To serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, To be to Him for servants, Every keeper of the sabbath from polluting it, And those keeping hold on 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 I have brought them unto My holy mountain, And caused them to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on Mine altar, For My house, 'A house of prayer,' Is called for all the peoples.
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 An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: 'Again I gather to him — to his gathered ones.'
Ambuye Yehova, amene amasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse ali ku ukapolo akunena kuti, “Ndidzasonkhanitsano anthu ena kuwonjezera amene anasonkhana kale.”
9 Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest.
Bwerani, inu zirombo zonse zakuthengo, inu nonse zirombo zamʼnkhalango bwerani mudzadye!
10 Blind [are] his watchmen — all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, 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 And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them to their own way they did turn, Each to his dishonest 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, I take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink, And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great — exceeding abundant!'
Aliyense amafuwulira mnzake kuti, “Bwera, tiye timwe vinyo! Tiyeni timwe mowa mpaka kukhuta! Mawa lidzakhala ngati leroli, kapena kuposa lero lino.”
