Isaya 40
1 Nyaradzai, nyaradzai vanhu vangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari wenyu.
Atonthozeni, atonthozeni anthu anga, akutero Mulungu wanu.
2 Taurai nounyoro kuJerusarema, mudanidzire kwariri kuti kubata kwaro kukuru kwapera, uye kuti chivi charo charipirwa, kuti ragamuchira kubva muruoko rwaJehovha zvakapetwa kaviri pamusoro pezvivi zvaro.
Ayankhuleni moleza mtima anthu a ku Yerusalemu ndipo muwawuzitse kuti nthawi ya ukapolo wawo yatha, tchimo lawo lakhululukidwa. Ndawalanga mokwanira chifukwa cha machimo awo onse.
3 Inzwi rounodanidzira achiti, “Gadzirai nzira yaJehovha mugwenga, ruramisai mugwagwa waMwari wedu murenje.
Mawu a wofuwula mʼchipululu akuti, “Konzani njira ya Yehova mʼchipululu; wongolani njira zake; msewu owongoka wa Mulungu wathu mʼdziko lopanda kanthu.
4 Mipata yose ichasimudzirwa, makomo ose nezvikomo zvichaenzaniswa; nzvimbo dzisakaenzana dzichava bani.
Chigwa chilichonse achidzaze. Phiri lililonse ndi chitunda chilichonse azitsitse; Dziko lokumbikakumbika alisalaze, malo azitundazitunda awasandutse zidikha.
5 Uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kucharatidzwa, uye marudzi ose avanhu achazviona. Nokuti muromo waJehovha wazvitaura.”
Ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova udzaonekera, ndipo mitundu yonse ya anthu idzawuona, pakuti wanena zimenezi ndi Yehova.”
6 Inzwi rinoti, “Danidzirai.” Ini ndokuti, “Ndodanidzireiko?” “Vanhu vose vakaita souswa, uye kubwinya kwavo kwose kwakaita samaruva omunda.
Wina ananena kuti, “Lengeza.” Ndipo ine ndinati, “Kodi ndifuwule chiyani? “Pakuti anthu onse ali ngati udzu ndipo kukongola kwawo kuli ngati maluwa akuthengo.
7 Uswa hunooma uye maruva anowa, nokuti mweya waJehovha unofuridzira pamusoro pazvo. Zvirokwazvo vanhu uswa.
Udzu umanyala ndipo maluwa amafota chifukwa cha kuwomba kwa mpweya wa Yehova.” Mawu aja anatinso, “Ndithudi anthu sasiyana ndi udzu.
8 Uswa hunooma uye maruva anowa, asi shoko raMwari wedu rinogara nokusingaperi.”
Udzu umanyala ndipo maluwa amafota, koma mawu a Mulungu wathu adzakhalapo mpaka muyaya.”
9 Imi munoparidzira Zioni zvinhu zvakanaka, kwirai pagomo refu. Imi munoparidzira Jerusarema mashoko akanaka, danidzirai nesimba, musatya; muti kumaguta eJudha, “Hoyu Mwari wenyu!”
Iwe amene ukulengeza nkhani yabwino ku Ziyoni, kwera pa phiri lalitali. Iwe amene ukulengeza nkhani yabwino ku Yerusalemu, fuwula kwambiri, kweza mawu, usachite mantha; uza mizinda ya ku Yuda kuti, “Mulungu wanu akubwera!”
10 Tarirai, Ishe Jehovha ari kuuya nesimba, uye ruoko rwake runomubatira ushe. Tarirai, mubayiro wake anawo, uye zvaanoripira nazvo anazvo.
Taonani, Ambuye Yehova akubwera mwamphamvu, ndipo dzanja lake likulamulira, taonani akubwera ndi mphotho yake watsogoza zofunkha zako za ku nkhondo.
11 Anofudza makwai ake somufudzi: Anounganidza makwayana mumaoko ake agoatakurira pedyo nomwoyo wake; zvinyoronyoro anotungamirira nhunzvi dzinonwisa.
Iye adzasamalira nkhosa zake ngati mʼbusa: Iye adzasonkhanitsa ana ankhosa aakazi mʼmanja mwake ndipo Iye akuwanyamula pachifuwa chake ndi kutsogolera bwinobwino nkhosa zoyamwitsa.
12 Ndianiko akayera mvura zhinji muchanza chake, kana kuyera denga noupamhi hwechanza chake? Ndianiko akaisa guruva rose rapasi mudengu, kana kuyera kurema kwamakomo nechiyero, nezvikomo pachiyero?
Kodi ndani akhoza kuyeza kuchuluka kwa madzi a mʼnyanja ndi chikhatho chake, kapena kuyeza kutalika kwa mlengalenga ndi dzanja lake? Ndani akhoza kuyeza dothi lonse la dziko lapansi mʼdengu, kapena kuyeza kulemera kwa mapiri ndi zitunda ndi pasikelo?
13 Ndiani akanzwisisa murangariro waJehovha, kana kumudzidzisa somudzidzisi wake?
Ndani anapereka malangizo kwa Mzimu wa Yehova kapena kumuphunzitsa Iye monga phungu wake?
14 Ndiani akabvunzwa naJehovha kuti amujekesere, uye ndiani akamudzidzisa nzira yakanaka? Ndianiko akamudzidzisa ruzivo kana kumuratidza nzira yokunzwisisa?
Kodi Yehova anapemphapo nzeru kwa yani kuti akhale wopenya, kapena kuti aphunzire njira yoyenera ndi nzeru? Iye anapempha nzeru kwa yani ndi njira ya kumvetsa zinthu?
15 Zvirokwazvo ndudzi dzavanhu dzakaita sedonhwe remvura riri muchirongo; vanongova seguruva riri pamusoro pechiyero; anoyera zviwi kunge guruva rakatsetseka.
Ndithudi mitundu ya anthu ili ngati dontho la madzi ochoka mu mtsuko. Iwo akungoyesedwa ngati fumbi chabe pa sikelo; mʼmanja mwa Yehova zilumba nʼzopepuka ngati fumbi.
16 Rebhanoni harina huni dzinoringana kuvesa moto wearitari, uye zvipfuwo zvaro hazvikwani kuita chipiriso chinopiswa.
Nkhalango ya ku Lebanoni singakwanire nkhuni zosonkhera moto pa guwa lansembe, ngakhale nyama zake sizingakwanire kupereka nsembe zopsereza.
17 Ndudzi dzose dzakaita sepasina chinhu pamberi pake; iye anodziona sedzisina maturo, kunge dzisipo.
Pamaso pa Yehova mitundu yonse ya anthu ili ngati chinthu chopandapake; Iye amayiwerengera ngati chinthu chopanda phindu ndi cha chabechabe.
18 Zvino, mungafananidza Mwari naaniko? Ndoupi mufananidzo wamungamuenzanisa nawo?
Kodi tsono Mulungu mungamuyerekeze ndi yani? Kodi mungamufanizire ndi chiyani?
19 Kana chiri chifananidzo, muumbi anochiumba, mupfuri wegoridhe ochinamira negoridhe, uye anochiitira uketani hwesirivha.
Likakhala fano, mʼmisiri ndiye analipanga ndipo mʼmisiri wa golide amalikuta ndi golide naliveka mkanda wasiliva.
20 Murombo anoshayiwa chipo anosarudza danda risingaori. Anotsvaka mhizha kuti imuvezere chifananidzo chisingazozungunuki.
Mʼmphawi amene sangathe kupeza ngakhale chopereka nsembe chotere amasankha mtengo umene sudzawola, nafunafuna mʼmisiri waluso woti amupangire fano limene silingasunthike.
21 Hamuzivi here? Hamuna kunzwa here? Hamuna kumbozviudzwa kubva pakutanga here? Hamuna kunzwisisa kubva pakuvamba kwenyika here?
Kodi simukudziwa? Kodi simunamve? Kodi sanakuwuzeni kuyambira pachiyambi pomwe? Kodi simunamvetsetse chiyambire cha dziko lapansi?
22 Anogara samambo pamusoro pedenderedzwa renyika, uye vanhu vayo vakaita semhashu. Anotambanudza matenga setende, agoawaridzira setende kuti agaremo.
Yehova amene amakhala pa mpando wake waufumu kumwamba ndiye analenga dziko lapansi, Iye amaona anthu a dziko lapansi ngati ziwala. Ndipo anafunyulula mlengalenga ngati nsalu yotchinga, nayikunga ngati tenti yokhalamo.
23 Anoita kuti machinda ave pasina, uye anoderedza vatongi venyika ino kuti vave pasina.
Amatsitsa pansi mafumu amphamvu nasandutsa olamula a dziko kukhala achabechabe.
24 Vachangosimwa, vachangodyarwa, vachangodzika midzi muvhu, iye anofuridza pamusoro pavo vachibva vaoma, uye chamupupuri chinovakukura sehundi.
Inde, iwo ali ngati mbewu zimene zangodzalidwa kumene kapena kufesedwa chapompano, ndi kungoyamba kuzika mizu kumene ndi pamene mphepo imawombapo nʼkuziwumitsa ndipo kamvuluvulu amaziwulutsa ngati mankhusu.
25 “Mungandienzanisa naaniko? Kana kuti ndiani akaenzana neni?” ndizvo zvinotaura Iye Mutsvene.
Woyera uja akuti, “Kodi mudzandiyerekeza Ine ndi yani? Kapena kodi alipo wofanana nane?”
26 Simudzai meso enyu mutarire kumatenga. Ndianiko akasika zvose izvi? Iye anobudisa nyeredzi imwe imwe, achidzidana imwe neimwe nezita rayo. Nokuda kwesimba rake guru uye noukuru hwesimba rake, hapana kana imwe zvayo inoshayikwa.
Tayangʼanani mlengalenga ndipo onani. Kodi ndani analenga zonsezi mukuzionazi? Yehova ndiye amene amazitsogolera ngati gulu la ankhondo, nayitana iliyonse ndi dzina lake. Ndipo popeza Iye ali ndi nyonga zambiri, palibe ndi imodzi yomwe imene inasowapo.
27 Unoreveiko, iwe Jakobho, unogununʼuna chii, iwe Israeri uchiti, “Nzira yangu haizivikanwi naJehovha; Mwari wangu haana hanya nezvandinorwira?”
Iwe Yakobo, chifukwa chiyani umanena ndi kumadandaula iwe Israeli, kuti, “Yehova sakudziwa mavuto anga, Mulungu wanga sakusamala zomwe zikundichitikira ine?”
28 Hauzivi here? Hauna kunzwa here? Jehovha ndiye Mwari nokusingaperi, Musiki wamagumo enyika. Haaneti kana kuziya, uye hakuna angayera kunzwisisa kwake.
Kodi simukudziwa? Kodi simunamve? Yehova ndiye Mulungu wamuyaya, ndiyenso Mlengi wa dziko lonse lapansi. Iye sadzatopa kapena kufowoka ndipo palibe amene angadziwe maganizo ake.
29 Anopa simba kuna vakarukutika, uye anowedzera simba kuna vasina simba.
Iye amalimbitsa ofowoka ndipo otopa amawawonjezera mphamvu.
30 Kunyange majaya anoneta uye anorukutika, uye majaya anogumburwa agowa;
Ngakhale achinyamata amalefuka ndi kufowoka, ndipo achinyamata amapunthwa ndi kugwa;
31 asi avo vane tariro muna Jehovha vachavandudza simba ravo. Vachabhururuka namapapiro samakondo; vachamhanya vasinganeti; vachafamba vasingaziyi.
koma iwo amene amakhulupirira Yehova adzalandira mphamvu zatsopano. Adzawuluka ngati chiwombankhanga; adzathamanga koma sadzalefuka, adzayenda koma sadzatopa konse.
