< Isaya 2 >
1 Izvi ndizvo zvakaonekwa naIsaya mwanakomana waAmozi, pamusoro peJudha neJerusarema:
Nazi zinthu zokhudza Yuda ndi Yerusalemu, zimene Yesaya mwana wa Amozi anaziona mʼmasomphenya:
2 Mumazuva okupedzisira, gomo retemberi yaJehovha richasimbiswa, richava guru pakati pamakomo; richakwiridzirwa pamusoro pezvikomo, uye ndudzi dzose dzichamhanyira kwariri.
Mʼmasiku otsiriza, phiri la Nyumba ya Yehova adzalikhazikitsa kukhala lalitali kuposa mapiri ena onse, lidzaonekera pamwamba pa mapiri ena onse, ndipo mayiko onse adzathamangira kumeneko.
3 Ndudzi zhinji dzichauya dzichiti, “Uyai ngatiendei kugomo raJehovha, kuimba yaMwari waJakobho Iye achatidzidzisa nzira dzake, kuitira kuti tigofamba mumakwara ake.” Nokuti murayiro uchabva paZioni, shoko raJehovha richabva kuJerusarema.
Anthu ambiri adzabwera ndikunena kuti, “Tiyeni tikwere ku phiri la Yehova, ku nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yakobo. Iye adzatiphunzitsa njira zake, ndipo tidzayenda mʼnjira zakezo.” Malangizo adzachokera ku Ziyoni, mawu a Yehova adzachokera ku Yerusalemu.
4 Achatonga pakati pendudzi uye achapedza gakava pakati pamarudzi mazhinji. Vachapfura minondo yavo vagoiita miromo yamagejo, namapfumo avo vagoaita mapanga okuchekerera miti nawo. Rudzi rumwe harungazosimudziri munondo kuno rumwe rudzi, kana kuzodzidzirazve kurwa.
Iye adzaweruza pakati pa mayiko, ndipo adzathetsa kusamvana pakati pa anthu ambiri. Anthuwo adzasandutsa malupanga awo kukhala makasu ndiponso mikondo yawo kukhala zomwetera. Mtundu wina sudzatenganso lupanga kumenyana ndi mtundu wina, kapena kuphunziranso za nkhondo.
5 Uyai, imi imba yaJakobho, ngatifambei muchiedza chaJehovha.
Inu nyumba ya Yakobo, bwerani, tiyeni tiyende mʼkuwala kwa Yehova.
6 Nokuti makasiya vanhu venyu, ivo imba yaJakobho. Vakazara nezvinamato zvokuMabvazuva; vanoita zvokuvuka kufanana navaFiristia, vachibatana maoko nevedzimwe ndudzi.
Inu Yehova mwawakana anthu anu, nyumba ya Yakobo. Iwo adzaza ndi zamatsenga zochokera Kummawa; amawombeza mawula ngati Afilisti, ndipo amayanjana ndi anthu osapembedza Mulungu.
7 Nyika yavo izere nesirivha negoridhe; pfuma yavo haiperi. Nyika yavo izere namabhiza; ngoro dzavo hadziperi.
Dziko lawo ndi lodzaza ndi siliva ndi golide; ndipo chuma chawo ndi chosatha. Dziko lawo ndi lodzaza ndi akavalo; ndipo magaleta awo ankhondo ngosawerengeka.
8 Nyika yavo izere nezvifananidzo; vanopfugamira mabasa amaoko avo, kuzvinhu zvakaitwa neminwe yavo.
Dziko lawo ndi lodzaza ndi mafano; iwo amapembedza ntchito ya manja awo, amagwadira zomwe anapanga ndi zala zawo.
9 Naizvozvo munhu achaderedzwa uye marudzi avanhu achaninipiswa, musavakanganwira.
Tsono munthu aliyense adzachepetsedwa ndi kutsitsidwa. Inu Yehova musawakhululukire.
10 Pinda mumapako, uvande muguruva, ubve mukutyisa kwaJehovha nokubwinya kwoumambo hwake!
Lowani mʼmatanthwe, bisalani mʼmaenje, kuthawa kuopsa kwa Yehova ndi ulemerero wa ufumu wake!
11 Meso omunhu anozvikudza achaninipiswa, uye kuzvikudza kwavanhu kuchaderedzwa; asi Jehovha oga ndiye achakudzwa pazuva iro.
Kudzikuza kwa anthu kudzatha, ndipo kudzitama kwa anthu kudzawonongedwa; Yehova yekha ndiye adzapatsidwe ulemu pa tsiku limenelo.
12 Nokuti Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ane zuva raakachengetera avo vose vanozvikudza navanodada, navose vanokudzwa (uye vachaninipiswa),
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wakonzeratu tsiku limene adzatsitse onse onyada ndi odzitama, ndipo adzagonjetsa onse amphamvu,
13 nemisidhari yose yeRebhanoni, yakareba neyakakwirira, nemiouki yose yeBhashani,
tsiku la mikungudza yonse ya ku Lebanoni, yayitali ndi yoonekera patali, ndiponso la mitengo yonse ya thundu ya ku Basani,
14 namakomo ose akakwirira, nezvikomo zvose zvakakwirira,
tsiku la mapiri onse ataliatali ndiponso la zitunda zonse zazitali,
15 neshongwe dzose dzakakwirira, namasvingo ose akasimba,
tsiku la nsanja zonse zazitali ndiponso malinga onse olimba,
16 nezvikepe zvose zveTashishi, nemidziyo yose yakanaka.
tsiku la sitima zapamadzi zonse za ku Tarisisi ndiponso la mabwato onse okongola.
17 Kuzvikudza kwomunhu kuchaderedzwa, uye kuzvikudza kwavanhu kuchaninipiswa; Jehovha oga ndiye achakudzwa pazuva iro,
Kudzikuza kwa munthu kudzatha ndipo kudzitama kwa anthu kudzawonongedwa, Yehova yekha ndiye adzapatsidwe ulemu tsiku limenelo,
18 uye zvifananidzo zvichapera zvachose.
ndipo mafano onse adzatheratu.
19 Vanhu vachatizira kumapako amatombo, nokumwena yapasi nokuda kwaJehovha anotyisa, uye nokubwinya kwoumambo hwake, paanosimuka achizungunutsa nyika.
Anthu adzathawira mʼmapanga a matanthwe ndi mʼmaenje a nthaka, kuthawa mkwiyo wa Yehova, ndiponso ulemerero wa ufumu wake, pamene Iye adzuka kugwedeza dziko lapansi.
20 Pazuva iro vanhu vacharasira kumakonzo nokuzviremwaremwa, zvifananidzo zvavo zvesirivha nezvifananidzo zvegoridhe, zvavakaita kuti vazvinamate.
Tsiku limenelo anthu adzatayira mfuko ndi mileme mafano awo asiliva ndi mafano awo agolide, amene anawapanga kuti aziwapembedza.
21 Vachatizira kumapako amatombo nokumikaha yakarembera, nokuda kwokutya Jehovha, uye nokubwinya kwoumambo hwake, paanosimuka kuti azungunutse nyika.
Adzathawira mʼmapanga a matanthwe ndiponso mʼmingʼalu ya nthaka kuthawa mkwiyo wa Yehova ndiponso ulemerero wa ufumu wake, pamene Iye adzuka kugwedeza dziko lapansi.
22 Regai kuvimba nomunhu, anongova nokufema mumhino dzake. Anobatsireiko?
Lekani kudalira munthu, amene moyo wake sukhalira kutha. Iye angathandize bwanji wina aliyense?
