Isaya 8
1 Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Tora bhuku guru unyore pamusoro paro nechinyoreso: pamusoro paMaheri-Sharari-Hashi-Bhazi.
Yehova anati kwa ine, “Tenga cholembapo chachikulu ndipo ulembepo malemba odziwika bwino: Kusakaza-Kwamsanga Kufunkha-Kofulumira.
2 Ndichadana Uriya muprista naZekaria mwanakomana waJebherekia sezvapupu zvakatendeka kwandiri.”
Ndipo ndidzayitana wansembe Uriya ndi Zekariya mwana wa Yeberekiya kuti akhale mboni zanga zodalirika.”
3 Ipapo ndakaenda kumuprofitakadzi, akatora pamuviri akabereka mwanakomana. Zvino Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Mutumidze kuti Maheri-Sharari-Hashi-Bhazi;
Ndipo ine ndinapita kwa mneneri wamkazi, ndipo anakhala woyembekezera nabala mwana wamwamuna. Ndipo Yehova anati kwa ine, “Umutche dzina lakuti, ‘Kusakaza-Kwamsanga Kufunkha-Kofulumira.’
4 nokuti mwana asati aziva kuti, ‘Baba vangu’ kana kuti, ‘Mai vangu,’ pfuma yeDhamasiko nezvakapambwa zveSamaria zvichatakurwa namambo weAsiria.”
Mwanayo asanayambe kudziwa kuyitana kuti, ‘Ababa’ kapena ‘Amama’ chuma cha Damasiko ndi zofunkha za Samariya zidzatengedwa ndi mfumu ya ku Asiriya.”
5 Jehovha akataurazve kwandiri akati,
Yehova anayankhulanso ndi Ine;
6 “Nokuti vanhu ava vakaramba mvura inoyerera zvinyoronyoro yeShiroa, uye vanofarira Rezini nomwanakomana waRemaria,
“Popeza anthu a dziko ili akana madzi anga oyenda mwachifatse a ku Siloamu, ndipo akukondwerera Rezini ndi mwana wa Remaliya,
7 naizvozvo Jehovha ava kuda kuuyisa pamusoro pavo mafashamu makuru oRwizi, mambo weAsiria nokukudzwa kwake kwose. Ruchapfachukira hova dzarwo dzose, uye rugopfachukira kumahombekombe arwo ose,
nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye ali pafupi kubweretsa madzi amkokomo a mtsinje wa Yufurate kudzalimbana nawo; mfumu ya ku Asiriya ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo. Madziwo adzasefukira mʼngalande zake zonse ndi mʼmagombe ake onse.
8 ruchakukura kusvikira kuJudha, ruchipafuma nomukati mayo, rugopfuura nomairi ruchisvika muhuro. Kutandavara kwamapapiro arwo kuchafukidza upamhi hwenyika yako, iwe Imanueri!”
Ndipo adzalowa mwamphamvu mʼdziko la Yuda, adzasefukira, adzapitirira mpaka kumuyesa mʼkhosi. Mapiko ake otambasuka adzaphimba dziko lako lonse, iwe Imanueli!”
9 Ridzai mhere yehondo, imi ndudzi, mugoputswa-putswa! Teererai, imi nyika dzose dziri kure. Gadzirirai kurwa, mugoputswa-putswa!
Chitani phokoso lankhondo, inu mitundu ya anthu, ndipo munjenjemere! Tamverani, inu mayiko onse akutali. Konzekerani nkhondo ndipo munjenjemere! Konzekerani nkhondo ndipo munjenjemere!
10 Gadzirirai urongwa hwenyu, asi huchakona; Taurai zvourongwa hwenyu, asi hauzomiri, nokuti Mwari anesu.
Konzani kachitidwe kanu kankhondo, koma simudzaphula kanthu, kambiranani zochita, koma zidzalephereka, pakuti Mulungu ali nafe.
11 Jehovha akataura kwandiri ruoko rwake rune simba rwuri pamusoro pangu, achindiyambira kuti ndirege kutevera nzira yavanhu ava, akati:
Yehova anandiyankhula ine mwamphamvu, ndipo anandichenjeza kuti ndisamayende mʼnjira za anthuwa. Iye anati:
12 “Musati irangano zvinhu zvose zvinonzi navanhu ava irangano; musatya zvavanotya, musazvivhunduka.
“Usamanene kuti ndi chiwembu, chilichonse chimene anthuwa amati ndi chiwembu usamaope zimene anthuwa amaziopa, ndipo usamachite nazo mantha.
13 Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiye wamunofanira kuita mutsvene, ndiye wamunofanira kuvhunduka,
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndiye amene uyenera kumuona kuti ndi woyera, ndiye amene uyenera kumuopa, ndiye amene uyenera kuchita naye mantha,
14 ndiye achava nzvimbo tsvene; asi padzimba dzose dzaIsraeri achava dombo rinoita kuti vanhu vagumburwe; nedombo rinoita kuti vapunzike. Uye kuvanhu veJerusarema iye achava musungo norugombe.
ndipo ndiye amene adzakhala malo opatulika; koma kwa anthu a ku Yuda ndi kwa anthu a ku Israeli adzakhala mwala wopunthwitsa, mwala umene umapunthwitsa anthu, thanthwe limene limagwetsa anthu. Ndipo kwa anthu a mu Yerusalemu adzakhala ngati msampha ndi khwekhwe.
15 Vazhinji vavo vachagumburwa; vachawa vagovhunika, vachateyiwa vagobatwa.”
Anthu ambiri adzapunthwapo adzagwa ndi kuthyokathyoka, adzakodwa ndi kugwidwa.”
16 Sungai chipupuriro mugosimbisa murayiro pakati pavadzidzi vangu.
Manga umboniwu ndipo umate malamulowa pamaso pa ophunzira anga.
17 Ndichamirira Jehovha, iye ari kuvanzira imba yaJakobho chiso chake. Ndichaisa ruvimbo rwangu maari.
Ndidzayembekezera Yehova, amene akubisira nkhope yake nyumba ya Yakobo. Ine ndidzakhulupirira Iyeyo.
18 Ndiri pano, navana vandakapiwa naJehovha. Tiri zviratidzo nemifananidzo muIsraeri inobva kuna Jehovha Wamasimba Ose paGomo reZioni.
Onani, ine ndili pano pamodzi ndi ana amene Yehova wandipatsa, ndife zizindikiro ndi zodabwitsa kwa Aisraeli zochokera kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, amene amakhala pa Phiri la Ziyoni.
19 Kana vanhu vachiti kwamuri bvunzai masvikiro navavuki, vanozevezera nokunguruma, ko, vanhu havangabvunzi kuna Mwari wavo here? Munobvunzirei vakafa pamusoro pavapenyu?
Anthu akakuwuza kuti kafunsire kwa oyankhula ndi mizimu, amene amayankhula monongʼona ndi mongʼungʼudza, kodi anthu sayenera kukafunsira kwa Mulungu wawo? Chifukwa chiyani amafunsira kwa anthu akufa mʼmalo mwa kwa anthu amoyo,
20 Endai kumurayiro nokuzvipupuriro! Kana vasingatauri maererano neshoko iri havana chiedza chamambakwedza.
kuti akalandireko mawu enieni ndi malangizo? Ngati anthuwo sayankhula monga mwa mawu awa, mwa iwo mulibe kuwala.
21 Vatambudzika, vava vane nzara vachafamba-famba nenyika; pavachatambudzika vachava neshungu, uye vachatarira kudenga, vagotuka mambo wavo naMwari wavo.
Anthu adzayendayenda mʼdziko movutika kwambiri ali ndi njala; pamene afowokeratu ndi njala, iwo adzakwiya kwambiri ndipo adzayangʼana kumwamba ndi kutemberera mfumu yawo ndi Mulungu wawo.
22 Ipapo vachatarira pasi vagoona nhamo chete nerima nokusafara kunotyisa, uye vachakandirwa kurima guru.
Ndipo akadzayangʼana pa dziko lapansi adzangoona mavuto okhaokha ndi mdima woopsa ndi wodetsa nkhawa, ndipo adzaponyedwa mu mdima wandiweyani.
