Isaiah 47

Kugwa kwa Babuloni

1“Tsika, ndi kukhala pa fumbi,
iwe namwali, Babuloni;
khala pansi wopanda mpando waufumu,
iwe namwali, Kaldeya
pakuti sadzakutchulanso wanthete kapena woyenera
kumugwira mosamala.
2Tenga mphero ndipo upere ufa;
chotsa nsalu yako yophimba nkhope
kwinya chovala chako mpaka ntchafu
ndipo woloka mitsinje.
3Maliseche ako adzakhala poyera
ndipo udzachita manyazi.
Ndidzabwezera chilango
ndipo palibe amene adzandiletse.”

4Woyerayo wa Israeli ndiye Mpulumutsi wathu,

5“Khala chete, ndipo lowa mu mdima,

6Ndinawakwiyira anthu anga,

Koma sunaganizire zinthu izi

8“Ndipo tsopano, tamvera, iwe wongokonda zokondweretsawe,

‘Ine ndi Ine, ndipo kupatula ine palibenso wina.
Sindidzakhala konse mkazi wamasiye,
ndipo ana anga sadzamwalira.’
9Koma mʼkamphindi, ndiponso tsiku limodzi,

Zimenezi zidzakuchitikira kwathunthu
ngakhale ali ndi amatsenga ambiri

10Iwe 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.’
11Ngozi yayikulu idzakugwera
ndipo sudzadziwa momwe ungayipewere ndi matsenga ako.
Mavuto adzakugwera
ndipo sudzatha kuwachotsa;
chipasupasu chimene iwe sukuchidziwa
chidzakugwera mwadzidzidzi.

12“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.
13Malangizo onse amene unalandira angokutopetsa basi!
Abwere patsogolopa anthu amene amatanthauzira za kumwamba kuti adzakupulumutseni.
Abwere amene amayangʼana nyenyezi, ndi kumalosera mwezi ndi mwezi

14Ndithudi, anthuwo ali ngati phesi;

Sangathe kudzipulumutsa okha

Awa si makala a moto woti wina nʼkuwotha;
kapena moto woti wina nʼkuwukhalira pafupi.
15Umu 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.”
