Isaya 57
1 Vakarurama vanoparara, uye hakuna anofunga izvi mumwoyo make; vanhu vanoda Mwari vanobviswa, uye hakuna anonzwisisa kuti vakarurama vanobviswa kuti vanunurwe kubva pane zvakaipa.
Anthu olungama amafa, ndipo palibe amene amalingalira mu mtima mwake; anthu odzipereka amatengedwa, ndipo palibe amene amamvetsa chifukwa chake. Anthu olungama amatengedwa kuti tsoka lisawagwere.
2 Vose vanofamba mukururama vanopinda murugare, vanowana zororo pavanovata murufu.
Iwo amene amakhala moyo wolungama amafa mwamtendere; amapeza mpumulo pamene agona mu imfa.
3 “Asi imi, uyai pano, imi vanakomana vomuroyi, imi chibereko chemhombwe nezvifeve!
“Bwerani kuno, anthu ochita zoyipa, inu muli ngati zidzukulu za mkazi wachigololo ndi wadama!
4 Muri kuseka aniko? Ndiani wamunohomera uye wamunobudisira rurimi rwenyu? Ko, hamusi chibereko chemhandu here, nechizvarwa chavanoreva nhema?
Kodi inu mukuseka yani? Kodi mukumunena ndani ndi kupotoza pakamwa panu? Kodi inu si ana owukira, zidzukulu za anthu abodza?
5 Munotsva noruchiva pakati pemiti yemuouki napasi pomuti mumwe nomumwe wakapfumvutira; munobayira vana venyu mumipata napasi pamapazi akarembera.
Inu mumapembedza mafano pamene mumalobodoka ndi zilakolako zanu pakati pa mitengo ya thundu, ndiponso pa tsinde pa mtengo uliwonse wa nthambi zambiri. Mumapereka ana anu ngati nsembe mu zigwa ndiponso mʼmingʼalu ya mʼmatanthwe.
6 Zvifananidzo zviri pakati pamatombo anotsvedzerera emipata ndiwo mugove wenyu; izvozvo, ndiwo mugove wenyu. Hongu, wakadururira chipiriso chokunwa kwazviri, uye ukapa chipiriso chezviyo. Ko, ini muchagona kundiripira zvinhu izvi here?
Mafano a pakati pa miyala yosalala ya mu zigwa ndiye chuma chanu. Inde, ndiye gawo lanu. Mumapereka chopereka cha chakumwa kwa mafanowo, ndipo mumaperekanso chopereka cha chakudya. Kodi zimenezi zingandichititse kuti ndikukomereni mtima?
7 Wakawaridza nhoo pakakwirira napachikomo chirefu; ikoko wakakwira kundobayira zvibayiro.
Inu munayiwala bedi lanu pa phiri lalitali ndi looneka kutali. Mumapita kumeneko kukapereka nsembe zanu.
8 Seri kwamakonhi ako nezvivivo zvako wakaisa chirangaridzo chavamwari vako. Uchindisiya ini, wakafukura mubhedha wako, wakakwira pauri ukaushamisa kwazvo; wakaita sungano naavo vane mibhedha yaunoda, uye wakatarisa kusasimira kwavo.
Mʼnyumba mwanu mwayika mafano kuseri kwa zitseko ndiponso pa mphuthu. Mwandisiya Ine, mwavula zovala zanu. Bedi lanu mwalikulitsa ndipo mwakwera ndi zibwenzi zanu, ndiye mwazilipira kuti mugone nazo. Kumene mwakwaniritsa zilakolako zanu zoyipa.
9 Wakaenda kuna Moreki namafuta omuorivhi ukawedzera zvinonhuhwira zvako. Wakatumira nhume dzako kure; wakaburukira kuguva chaiko! (Sheol h7585)
Mumapita kukapembedza fano la Moleki mutatenga mafuta ndi zonunkhira zochuluka. Munachita kutumiza akazembe anu kutali; inu ngakhale munapita ku manda kwenikweniko! (Sheol h7585)
10 Wakaneteswa nenzira dzako dzose, asi hauna kumboti, ‘Hazvina maturo.’ Wakawana kuvandudzwa kwesimba rako, nokudaro hauna kuziya.
Inu mumatopa ndi maulendo anu, koma simunathe kunena kuti, ‘Nʼzopanda phindu.’ Munapezako kumeneko zokhumba zanu nʼchifukwa chake simunalefuke.
11 “Ndianiko wawakatya uye ukavhunduka zvokuti wakazoreva nhema kwandiri, uye hauna kumbondirangarira kana kumbozvifunga izvi mumwoyo mako? Hakuzi kuti ndakaramba ndakanyarara iwe ukasanditya here?
“Kodi ndani amene mwachita naye mantha ndi kumuopa, kotero kuti mwakhala mukundinamiza, ndipo Ine simundikumbukira nʼkomwe, kapena kuganizirapo mʼmitima yanu za Ine? Kodi mwaleka kundiopa chifukwa choti ndakhala chete nthawi yayitali?
12 Ndichaisa pachena kururama kwako namabasa ako, uye hazvizombokubatsiri.
Koma ndaonetsa poyera ntchito zanu zomwe mumati nʼzolungama, ndi mafano anu kuti nʼzosathandiza.
13 Paunochemera rubatsiro, zvifananidzo zvawakaunganidza ngazvikubatsire! Mhepo ichazvikukura zvose, mweya wokungofema zvawo uchazvifuridzira kure. Asi munhu anondiita utiziro hwake achagara nhaka yenyika, uye gomo rangu dzvene richava rake.”
Pamene mufuwula kupempha thandizo, mafano anu amene munasonkhanitsawo ndiyetu akupulumutseni! Mphepo idzanyamula mafano anu onsewo, mpweya chabe udzawulutsa mafanowo. Koma munthu amene amadalira ine adzalandira dziko lokhalamo. Phiri langa lopatulika lidzakhala lakelake.”
14 Uye zvichazonzi: “Vakai, vakai, gadzirai mugwagwa! Bvisai zvipinganidzo munzira yavanhu vangu.”
Ndipo panamveka mawu akuti, “Undani, undani, konzani msewu! Chotsani zotchinga pa njira yoyendamo anthu anga.”
15 Nokuti zvanzi naIye akakwirira ari kumusoro, iye anorarama nokusingaperi, ane zita dzvene: “Ndinogara pakakwirira panzvimbo tsvene, asi naiyewo ane mweya wakapwanyika uye anozvininipisa, kuti ndimutsiridze mweya yavanozvininipisa uye ndimutsiridze mwoyo yavakapwanyika.
Pakuti Iye amene ali Wamkulu ndi Wopambanazonse, amene alipo nthawi zonse, amene dzina lake ndi Woyerayo, akunena kuti, “Ndimakhala pamalo aulemu ndi opatulika, koma ndimakhalanso ndi munthu wodzichepetsa ndi wosweka mtima kuti odzichepetsawo ndiwalimbitse ndi kuwachotsa mantha osweka mtima.
16 Handichapi mhosva nokusingaperi, kana kugara ndakatsamwa, nokuti ipapo mweya yavanhu ingaziya pamberi pangu, kufema kwomunhu wandakasika.
Sindidzawatsutsa anthu mpaka muyaya kapena kuwapsera mtima nthawi zonse, popeza kuti ndinalenga anthu anga ndi kuwapatsa mpweya wamoyo.
17 Ndakatsamwiswa nechivi chake chokukara; ndakamuranga, ndikavanza chiso changu mukutsamwa kwangu, asi akaramba ari munzira dzaaida.
Ine ndinakwiya kwambiri chifukwa cha tchimo lawo ladyera; ndinawalanga ndi kuwafulatira mokwiya, koma iwo anapitirirabe kuchita ntchito zawo zoyipa.
18 Ndakaona nzira dzake, asi ndichamuporesa; ndichamutungamirira uye ndichamunyaradza,
Ndaona zochita zawo, komabe ndidzawachiritsa; kuwapumulitsa ndi kuwapatsa mtendere,
19 ndichisika rumbidzo pamiromo yavanochema muIsraeri. Rugare, rugare kuna vari kure navari pedyo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Uye ndichavaporesa.”
anthu olira a mu Israeli adzanditamanda ndi milomo yawo. Anthu amene ali kutali ndi apafupi pomwe ndidzawapatsa mtendere,” “Ndipo ndidzawachiritsa.” Akutero Yehova.
20 Asi vakaipa vakafanana negungwa rinozungunuka, risingagoni kuzorora, rina mafungu anorasa marara namatope.
Koma anthu oyipa ali ngati nyanja yowinduka, yosatha kukhala bata, mafunde ake amaponya matope ndi ndere.
21 Mwari wangu anoti, “Vakaipa havana rugare.”
“Palibe mtendere kwa oyipa,” akutero Mulungu wanga.
