U-Isaya 62
1 Ngenxa yeZiyoni kangiyikuthula, langenxa yeJerusalema kangiyikuphumula, kuze kuphume ukulunga kwayo njengokukhanya, losindiso lwayo njengesibane esivuthayo.
Chifukwa chokonda Ziyoni sindidzakhala chete, chifukwa chokonda Yerusalemu sindidzakhala chete, mpaka chilungamo chake chitaoneka poyera ngati kuwala, ndi chipulumutso chake chitaoneka ngati sakali yoyaka.
2 Labezizwe bazabona ukulunga kwakho, lamakhosi wonke inkazimulo yakho; njalo uzabizwa ngebizo elitsha, umlomo weNkosi ozakutha lona.
Mitundu ya anthu idzaona iwe utapambana pa nkhondo ndipo mafumu onse adzaona ulemerero wako. Adzakuyitanira dzina latsopano limene adzakupatse ndi Yehova.
3 Njalo uzakuba ngumqhele wobuhle esandleni seNkosi, lomqhele wobukhosi esandleni sikaNkulunkulu wakho.
Udzakhala ngati chipewa chaulemerero mʼdzanja la Yehova, ndi ngati nduwira yaufumu mʼdzanja la Mulungu wako.
4 Kawusayikuthiwa ngoTshiyiweyo, lelizwe lakho kalisayikuthiwa ngeliLahliweyo; kodwa uzabizwa ngokuthi nguHefiziba, lelizwe lakho ngokuthi yiBhewula; ngoba iNkosi ithokoza ngawe, lelizwe lakho lizakwenda.
Sadzakutchanso “Wosiyidwa,” ndipo dziko lako silidzatchedwanso “Chipululu.” Koma dzina lako latsopano lidzakhala “Ndakondwera naye.” Ndipo dziko lako lidzatchedwa “Wokwatiwa.” Chifukwa Yehova akukondwera nawe, ndipo adzakhala ngati mwamuna wa dziko lako.
5 Ngoba njengejaha lithatha intombi emsulwa, ngokunjalo amadodana akho azakuthatha; lanjengomyeni ethokoza ngomakoti, ngokunjalo uNkulunkulu wakho uzathokoza ngawe.
Monga mnyamata amakwatira namwali, momwenso mmisiri wodzakumanga adzakukwatira; monga mkwati amakondwera ndi mkwatibwi, chonchonso Mulungu adzakondwera nawe.
6 Ngibekile abalindi phezu kwemithangala yakho, Jerusalema, abangayikuthula kokuphela imini yonke lobusuku bonke. Lina elikhumbuza ngeNkosi, lingabi lokuthula,
Iwe Yerusalemu, pa malinga ako ndayikapo alonda; sadzakhala chete usana kapena usiku. Inu amene mumakumbutsa Yehova za malonjezo ake musapumule.
7 lingayiphumuzi, ize imise, njalo ize yenze iJerusalema ibe ludumo emhlabeni.
Musamupatse mpata wopuma mpaka atakhazikitsa Yerusalemu kukhala mzinda umene dziko lapansi lidzawutamande.
8 INkosi ifungile ngesandla sayo sokunene, langengalo yamandla ayo: Isibili kangisayikunika amabele akho abe yikudla kwezitha zakho, njalo isibili amadodana awezizwe kawayikunatha iwayini lakho elitsha olitshikatshikeleyo.
Yehova analumbira atakweza dzanja lake. Anati, “Sindidzaperekanso tirigu wako kuti akhale chakudya cha adani ako, ndipo alendo sadzamwanso vinyo wako watsopano pakuti unamuvutikira.
9 Kodwa labo abawabuthileyo bazawadla, badumise iNkosi; lalabo abaliqoqileyo bazalinatha emagumeni obungcwele bami.
Koma amene amakakolola ndiwo amene adzadye buledi ndi kutamanda Yehova, ndipo amene amasonkhanitsa pamodzi mphesa ndiwo amene adzamwe vinyo mʼmabwalo a Nyumba yanga.”
10 Dabulani, dabulani emasangweni; lungisani indlela yabantu; phakamisani, phakamisani umgwaqo omkhulu, likhuphe amatshe, liphakamisele abantu uphawu.
Tulukani, dutsani pa zipata! Konzerani anthu njira. Lambulani, lambulani msewu waukulu! Chotsani miyala. Kwezani mbendera kuti mitundu ya anthu izione.
11 Khangelani, iNkosi iyezwakala kuze kube sephethelweni lomhlaba: Tshonini kundodakazi yeZiyoni: Khangela, usindiso lwakho luyeza; khangela umvuzo wayo ilawo, lenkokhelo yayo iphambi kwayo.
Yehova walengeza ku dziko lonse lapansi kuti, Awuzeni anthu a ku Yerusalemu kuti, “Taonani, chipulumutso chanu chikubwera; Yehova akubwera ndi mphotho yake akubwera nazo zokuyenerani.”
12 Bazababiza ngokuthi ngaBantu abaNgcwele, abaHlengiweyo beNkosi; yebo, uzabizwa ngokuthi ngoDingiweyo, uMuzi ongaTshiywanga.
Iwo adzatchedwa Anthu Opatulika, owomboledwa a Yehova; ndipo adzakutchani “Okondwa a Yehova” “Mzinda umene Yehova sanawusiye.”
