Isaya 47
1 “Buruka, ugare muguruva, iwe Mhandara yeBhabhironi; gara pasi usina chigaro choushe, iwe Mhandara yavaBhabhironi. Hauchazonzi uri munyoro kana munhu akapfava.
“Tsika, ndi kukhala pa fumbi, iwe namwali, Babuloni; khala pansi wopanda mpando waufumu, iwe namwali, Kaldeya pakuti sadzakutchulanso wanthete kapena woyenera kumugwira mosamala.
2 Tora makuyo ukuye upfu; bvisa vhoiri rako. Fukura nguo dzako, makumbo ako aonekwe, uyambuke hova.
Tenga mphero ndipo upere ufa; chotsa nsalu yako yophimba nkhope kwinya chovala chako mpaka ntchafu ndipo woloka mitsinje.
3 Kushama kwako kuchava pachena, uye kunyadzwa kwako kuchaonekwa. Ndichatsiva; handizosiyi munhu.”
Maliseche ako adzakhala poyera ndipo udzachita manyazi. Ndidzabwezera chilango ndipo palibe amene adzandiletse.”
4 Mudzikinuri wedu, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiro zita rake; ndiye Mutsvene waIsraeri.
Woyerayo wa Israeli ndiye Mpulumutsi wathu, dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
5 Gara unyerere, enda murima, Mhandara yavaBhabhironi; hauchazonzi mambokadzi wenyika dzakasiyana-siyana.
“Khala chete, ndipo lowa mu mdima, iwe namwali, Kaldeya; chifukwa sadzakutchulanso mfumukazi ya maufumu.
6 Ndakatsamwira vanhu vangu ndikasvibisa nhaka yangu; ndakavapa muruoko rwako, iwe ukasavanzwira ngoni. Kunyange vakakwegura wakavatakudza joko rinorema kwazvo.
Ndinawakwiyira anthu anga, osawasamalanso. Ndinawapereka manja mwako, ndipo iwe sunawachitire chifundo. Iwe unachitira nkhanza ngakhale nkhalamba.
7 Wakati, “Ndicharamba ndiri mambokadzi nokusingaperi!” Asi hauna kufunga zvinhu izvi, kana kucherechedza zvaizogona kuitika.
Iwe unati, ‘Ine ndidzakhalapo nthawi zonse ngati mfumukazi.’ Koma sunaganizire zinthu izi kapena kusinkhasinkha za mmene ziti zidzathere.
8 Naizvozvo zvino, chinzwa, iwe chisikwa chisingagutsikani, ugere zvakachengetedzeka, uchiti, mumwoyo mako, “Ndini, hakuna mumwe kunze kwangu. Handizovi chirikadzi, uye handizotambudziki nokurasikirwa navana.”
“Ndipo tsopano, tamvera, iwe wongokonda zokondweretsawe, amene ukukhala mosatekesekawe, umaganiza mu mtima mwako kuti, ‘Ine ndi Ine, ndipo kupatula ine palibenso wina. Sindidzakhala konse mkazi wamasiye, ndipo ana anga sadzamwalira.’
9 Zviviri izvozvi zvichakuwira nechinguva chidiki diki, pazuva rimwe chete zvinoti: kufirwa navana nouchirikadzi. Zvichauya pamusoro pako nechiyero chizere, kunyange uine unʼanga hwako huzhinji, nouroyi hwako hwakawanda.
Koma mʼkamphindi, ndiponso tsiku limodzi, zinthu ziwiri izi zidzakuchitikira: ana ako kukufera komanso kukhala mkazi wamasiye. Zimenezi zidzakuchitikira kwathunthu ngakhale ali ndi amatsenga ambiri ndi mawula amphamvu.
10 Wakavimba nezvakaipa zvako uye wakati, “Hapana anondiona.” Uchenjeri hwako nezivo yako zvinokutsausa paunoti, mumwoyo mako, “Ndini, uye hakuna mumwe kunze kwangu.”
Iwe unkadalira kuyipa kwako ndipo unati, ‘Palibe amene akundiona.’ Kuchenjera ndi nzeru zako zidzakusokoneza, choncho ukuganiza mu mtima mwako kuti, ‘Ine ndine basi, ndipo kupatula ine palibenso wina.’
11 Dambudziko richakuwira, uye haugoni kuzoziva kuti ungaritanda sei. Njodzi ichakuwira yausingagoni kubvisa nomuripo; pakarepo kuparadza kwausingagoni kuziva, kuchawira pamusoro pako.
Ngozi yayikulu idzakugwera ndipo sudzadziwa momwe ungayipewere ndi matsenga ako. Mavuto adzakugwera ndipo sudzatha kuwachotsa; chipasupasu chimene iwe sukuchidziwa chidzakugwera mwadzidzidzi.
12 “Zvino, enderera hako mberi nouroyi hwako, uye nounʼanga hwako huzhinji, hwawakashandira kubva paudiki hwako. Zvichida uchabudirira, zvichida uchavhundutsira vamwe.
“Pitiriza tsono kukhala ndi matsenga ako, pamodzi ndi nyanga zako zochulukazo, wakhala ukuzigwiritsa ntchito kuyambira ubwana wako. Mwina udzatha kupambana kapena kuopsezera nazo adani ako.
13 Mazano ose awakagamuchira, akakunetesa chete! Vanhu vako vanocherechedza nyeredzi ngavauye mberi, avo vanotarira nyeredzi vachifembera mwedzi nomwedzi, ngavakuponese pane zviri kuuya pamusoro pako.
Malangizo onse amene unalandira angokutopetsa basi! Abwere patsogolopa anthu amene amatanthauzira za kumwamba kuti adzakupulumutseni. Abwere amene amayangʼana nyenyezi, ndi kumalosera mwezi ndi mwezi zimene ziti zidzakuchitikire.
14 Zvirokwazvo vakafanana namashanga; moto uchaapisa akapera. Havangatongogoni kuzvirwira, pasimba romurazvo womoto. Asi hapana mazimbe okuti munhu adziyirwe; hapana moto wokudziya ipapo.
Ndithudi, anthuwo ali ngati phesi; adzapsa ndi moto. Sangathe kudzipulumutsa okha ku mphamvu ya malawi a moto. Awa si makala a moto woti wina nʼkuwotha; kapena moto woti wina nʼkuwukhalira pafupi.
15 Izvozvi ndizvo chete zvavangakuitira, ava vawakashanda navo, uye ukafamba navo kubva paudiki hwako. Mumwe nomumwe wavo anoenderera mberi nokukanganisa kwake; hapana kana mumwe angakuponesa.
Umu ndi mmene adzachitire amatsenga, anthu amene wakhala ukugwira nawo ntchito ndi kuchita nawo malonda chiyambire cha ubwana wako. Onse adzamwazika ndi mantha, sipadzakhala ndi mmodzi yemwe wokupulumutsa.”
