Yesaya 61
1 Mzimu wa Ambuye Yehova uli pa ine, chifukwa Yehova wandidzoza kuti ndilalikire uthenga wabwino kwa anthu osauka. Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze anthu osweka mtima, ndikalengeze kwa akapolo kuti alandire ufulu ndiponso kuti ndikamasule a mʼndende.
The Spirit of the lord Jehovah is upon me, because Jehovah has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, and the opening of bonds to those who are bound,
2 Wandituma kuti ndikalengeze nthawi imene Yehova adzapulumutsa anthu ake; za tsiku limene Yehova adzalanga adani a anthu ake. Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze olira.
to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3 Wandituma kuti ndiwakonzere olira a ku Ziyoni, nkhata ya maluwa yokongola mʼmalo mwa phulusa, ndiwapatse mafuta achikondwerero mʼmalo mwa kulira. Ndiwapatse chovala cha matamando mʼmalo mwa mtima wopsinjika. Ndipo iwo adzatchedwa mitengo ya thundu yamphamvu yachilungamo, yoyidzala Yehova kuti Iye mwini apezemo ulemerero wake.
to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified.
4 Adzamanganso mabwinja akale a mzinda ndipo malo amene anawonongeka kalekale aja adzakonzanso. Adzakonzanso mizinda imene inapasuka, imene yakhala yowonongeka kwa nthawi yayitali kwambiri.
And they shall build the old wastes. They shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 Anthu achilendo adzakutumikirani; adzazidyetsa ziweto zanu; iwo adzagwira ntchito mʼminda yanu ya mpesa.
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 Ndipo inu mudzatchedwa ansembe a Yehova, adzakutchulani kuti ndinu atumiki a Mulungu wathu. Mudzadyerera chuma cha mitundu ya anthu, ndipo mudzanyadira ulemu umene mwalandira.
But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah. Men shall call you the ministers of our God. Ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory ye shall boast yourselves.
7 Chifukwa manyazi awo anali owirikiza; ndi kuti munalandira chitonzo ndi kutukwana, adzakondwera ndi cholowa chawo, tsono adzalandira cholowa chawo cha chigawo cha dziko mowirikiza, ndipo chimwemwe chamuyaya chidzakhala chawo.
Instead of your shame ye shall have double, and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double. Everlasting joy shall be to them.
8 “Pakuti Ine Yehova, ndimakonda chilungamo; ndimadana ndi zakuba ndi zoyipa. Anthu anga ndidzawapatsa mphotho mokhulupirika ndikupangana nawo pangano losatha.
For I, Jehovah, love justice. I hate robbery with iniquity. And I will give them their recompense in truth. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Ana awo adzakhala odziwika pakati pa mitundu ya anthu ndipo adzukulu awo adzakhala otchuka pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Aliyense wowaona adzazindikira kuti ndi anthu amene Yehova wawadalitsa.”
And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Jehovah has blessed.
10 Ine ndikusangalala kwambiri chifukwa cha Yehova; moyo wanga ukukondwera chifukwa cha Mulungu wanga. Pakuti Iye wandiveka zovala zachipulumutso, ndipo wandiveka mkanjo wachilungamo. Zili ngati mkwati wovala nkhata ya maluwa mʼkhosi mwake, ndiponso ngati mkwatibwi wovala mikanda yamtengowapatali.
I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah. My soul shall be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 Monga momwe nthaka imameretsa mbewu ndiponso monga munda umakulitsa mbewu zimene anadzala, momwemonso Ambuye Yehova adzaonetsa chilungamo ndi matamando pamaso pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.
For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
