U-Isaya 7
1 Kwasekusithi ensukwini zikaAhazi indodana kaJothamu, indodana kaUziya inkosi yakoJuda, uRezini inkosi yeSiriya kanye loPheka indodana kaRemaliya inkosi yakoIsrayeli wenyukela eJerusalema ukuya empini emelene layo, kodwa kabangalakho ukulwa layo ngokuphumelelayo.
Pamene Ahazi mwana wa Yotamu, mdzukulu wa Uziya anali mfumu ya Yuda, Rezini mfumu ya Siriya ndi Peka mwana wa Remaliya, mfumu ya Israeli anabwera kudzathira nkhondo mzinda wa Yerusalemu, koma sanathe kuwugonjetsa.
2 Kwasekubikwa endlini kaDavida ukuthi iSiriya ihlangene loEfrayimi; inhliziyo yakhe lenhliziyo yabantu bakhe zasezinyikinyeka njengezihlahla zegusu zinyikinywa ngumoya.
Tsono nyumba ya Davide inawuzidwa kuti, “Dziko la Siriya lagwirizana ndi Efereimu.” Choncho mfumu Ahazi ndi anthu ake ananjenjemera, monga momwe mitengo ya mʼnkhalango imagwedezekera ndi mphepo.
3 INkosi yasisithi kuIsaya: Ake uphume uyehlangabeza uAhazi, wena loSheyari-Yashubi indodana yakho, ekucineni komfolo wechibi elingaphezulu, emgwaqweni omkhulu wensimu yomwatshi,
Pamenepo Yehova anawuza Yesaya kuti, “Tuluka, iwe ndi mwana wako Seariyasubu, mupite mukakumane ndi Ahazi kumapeto kwa ngalande yamadzi yochokera ku Dziwe Lakumtunda, pa msewu wopita ku Munda wa mmisiri wochapa nsalu.
4 uthi kuye: Nanzelela, uthule, ungesabi, lenhliziyo yakho ingabi buthakathaka ngenxa yemisila emibili yalezizikhuni ezithunqayo, ngenxa yokuvutha kolaka lukaRezini leSiriya, lendodana kaRemaliya.
Ukamuwuze kuti, ‘Chenjera, khala phee ndipo usaope. Usataye mtima chifukwa cha zitsa ziwiri zomwe zikufuka, chifukwa cha ukali woopsa wa Rezini ndi Siriya, ndiponso wa Peka mwana wa Remaliya.
5 Ngenxa yokuthi iSiriya, uEfrayimi, lendodana kaRemaliya, bacebise okubi ngawe, besithi:
Mfumu ya Siriya, Efereimu ndi mwana wa Remaliya apangana kuti akuchitire choyipa. Akunena kuti,
6 Asenyukele koJuda, simesabise, sizifohlelele kuye, sibeke inkosi phakathi kwakhe, indodana kaTabeyeli.
‘Tiyeni tikalimbane ndi Yuda. Tiyeni tiliwononge ndi kuligawa; tiligawane pakati pathu, ndipo tilonge ufumu mwana wa Tabeeli kumeneko.’
7 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakuyikuma, njalo kakuyikwenzeka.
Komabe zimene akunena Ambuye Yehova ndi izi: “‘Zimenezo sizidzatheka, sizidzachitika konse,
8 Ngoba inhloko yeSiriya yiDamaseko, lenhloko yeDamaseko nguRezini; laphakathi kuseleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha lanhlanu uEfrayimi uzakwephulwa, angabi yisizwe.
pakuti Siriya amadalira Damasiko, ndipo Damasiko amadalira mfumu Rezini basi. Zisanathe zaka 65 Efereimu adzawonongedwa kotheratu, sadzakhalanso mtundu wa anthu.
9 Njalo inhloko kaEfrayimi yiSamariya, lenhloko yeSamariya yindodana kaRemaliya. Uba lingakholwa, isibili kaliyikuqiniswa.
Dziko la Efereimu limadalira Samariya ndipo Samariya amadalira mwana wa Remaliya basi. Mukapanda kulimbika pa chikhulupiriro chanu, ndithu simudzalimba konse.’”
10 INkosi yasiqhubeka ikhuluma kuAhazi isithi:
Yehova anayankhulanso ndi Ahazi,
11 Zicelele isibonakaliso eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho; cela ekujuleni loba ekuphakameni phezulu. (Sheol h7585)
“Pempha chizindikiro kwa Yehova Mulungu wako, chikhale chozama ngati manda kapena chachitali ngati mlengalenga.” (Sheol h7585)
12 Kodwa uAhazi wathi: Kangiyikucela, kangiyikulinga iNkosi.
Koma Ahazi anati, “Ine sindipempha; sindikufuna kuyesa Yehova.”
13 Wasesithi: Zwana-ke, ndlu kaDavida; kuyinto encinyane kakhulu kuwe yini ukuthi udinise abantu, ukuthi udinise loNkulunkulu wami?
Apo Yesaya anati, “Imva tsopano, iwe nyumba ya Davide! Kodi sikokwanira kutopetsa anthu? Kodi mudzayeseranso kutopetsa Mulungu wanga?
14 Ngakho iNkosi uqobo izalinika isibonakaliso: Khangela, intombi emsulwa izathatha isisu, ibelethe indodana, ibize ibizo layo ngokuthi nguEmanuweli.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye mwini adzakupatsani chizindikiro: Onani, namwali adzakhala woyembekezera ndipo adzabala mwana wamwamuna, ndipo mwanayo adzamutcha Imanueli.
15 Uzakudla amasi loluju, aze azi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle.
Azidzadya chambiko ndi uchi, mpaka atadziwa kukana choyipa ndi kusankha chabwino.
16 Ngoba umntwana engakakwazi ukwala okubi lokukhetha okuhle, ilizwe onengwa yilo lizatshiywa ngamakhosi alo amabili.
Koma nthawi yokana choyipa ndi kusankha chabwino kwa mwanayo isanafike, mayiko a mafumu awiri amene amakuopsaniwo adzakhala atasanduka bwinja.
17 INkosi izaletha phezu kwakho laphezu kwabantu bakho laphezu kwendlu kayihlo insuku ezingezanga kusukela osukwini uEfrayimi asuka ngalo koJuda; yinkosi yeAsiriya.
Yehova adzabweretsa pa inu, pa anthu anu ndiponso pa nyumba ya bambo wanu masiku a mavuto woti sanakhalepo kuyambira tsiku limene Efereimu anapatukana ndi Yuda. Yehova adzabweretsa mfumu ya ku Asiriya.”
18 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi itshaye ikhwelo empukaneni esephethelweni lwemifula yeGibhithe, lenyosini eselizweni leAsiriya.
Tsiku limenelo Yehova adzalizira likhweru ntchentche zochokera ku mitsinje yakutali ku Igupto, ndiponso njuchi zochokera ku dziko la Asiriya.
19 Zizakuza-ke, ziphumule zonke ezigodini zamawa, lezingoxweni zamadwala, lezihlahleni zonke zameva, lemadlelweni wonke.
Onsewo adzafika ndi kudzakhazikika mu zigwa zozama, mʼmingʼalu ya matanthwe ndi mʼzitsamba zonse zaminga ndiponso ponse pamene pali malo omwetsera ziweto.
20 Ngalolosuku iNkosi izaphuca ngensingo eyebolekwe, phetsheya komfula, ngenkosi yeAsiriya, ikhanda loboya bezinyawo, futhi ihluthune lendevu.
Tsiku limenelo Ambuye adzalemba ganyu ometa ochokera kutsidya kwa Mtsinje, ndiye mfumu ya ku Asiriya, kudzameta tsitsi lanu la ku mutu ndi la mʼmiyendo ndi ndevu zomwe.
21 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku umuntu uzagcina kuphila ithokazi lezimvu ezimbili;
Tsiku limenelo adzangosunga ngʼombe yayikazi yayingʼono ndi mbuzi ziwiri.
22 kuzakuthi-ke ngenxa yobunengi bochago ezilwehlisayo adle amasi; yebo, wonke oseleyo phakathi kwelizwe uzakudla amasi loluju.
Ndipo chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa mkaka umene ziwetozi zidzapereka, munthuyo azidzadya chambiko. Aliyense amene adzatsalire mʼdzikomo azidzadya chambiko ndi uchi.
23 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, yonke indawo lapho okwakukhona amavini ayinkulungwane ngenhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane, kube ngokwameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
Tsiku limenelo, paliponse pamene panali mitengo ya mpesa 1,000 ndipo mtengo wake ndi wokwana masekeli asiliva 1,000, padzamera mkandankhuku ndi minga.
24 Bazakuya khona ngemitshoko langedandili, ngoba ilizwe lonke lizakuba ngameva lokhula oluhlabayo.
Anthu adzapita kumeneko kukachita uzimba ali ndi uta ndi mivi, popeza kuti mʼdziko monsemo mudzakhala mkandankhuku ndi minga.
25 Lazo zonke izintaba ezazilinywa ngekhuba kabayikuya kuzo ngokwesaba ameva lokhula oluhlabayo; kodwa kuzakuba ngokokungenisa inkabi lokokunyathelwa yizimvu.
Ndipo mʼmapiri monse mʼmene kale munkalimidwa ndi khasu, simudzapitamo kuopa mkandankhuku ndi minga; malowo adzasanduka odyetserako ngʼombe ndi nkhosa.
