Esias 45
1 Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
Yehova akuyankhula ndi wodzozedwa wake Koresi amene anamugwira dzanja lamanja kuti agonjetse mitundu ya anthu ndi kuwalanda mafumu zida zawo zankhondo, ndi kutsekula zitseko kuti zipatazo zisadzatsekedwenso ndi ichi:
2 I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
Ine ndidzayenda patsogolo pako, ndi kusalaza mapiri; ndidzaphwanya zitseko za mkuwa ndi kuthyola mipiringidzo ya chitsulo.
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am the God of Israel.
Ndidzakupatsa chuma chobisika mu mdima, katundu wa pamalo obisika, kotero kuti udziwe kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, amene ndakuyitana pokutchula dzina.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have not known me.
Chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga Yakobo, chifukwa cha wosankhidwa wanga Israeli, Ine ndakuyitana pokutchula dzina ndipo ndakupatsa dzina laulemu ngakhale iwe sukundidziwa Ine.
5 For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.
Ine ndine Yehova ndipo palibenso wina; kupatula Ine palibenso Mulungu wina. Ndidzakupatsa mphamvu, ngakhale sukundidziwa Ine,
6 That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
kotero kuti kuchokera kummawa mpaka kumadzulo anthu adzadziwa kuti palibe wina koma Ine ndekha. Ine ndine Yehova, ndipo palibenso wina.
7 I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
Ndimalenga kuwala ndi mdima, ndimabweretsa madalitso ndi tsoka; ndine Yehova, amene ndimachita zonsezi.
8 Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
“Iwe thambo gwetsa mvula kuchokera kumwamba; mitambo ivumbwe mivumbi ya chilungamo. Dziko lapansi litsekuke, ndipo chipulumutso chiphuke kuti chilungamo chimereponso; Ine Yehova, ndine ndalenga zimenezi.
9 What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the plowman plow the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
“Tsoka kwa wokangana ndi mlengi wake, ngakhale kuti ali ngati phale chabe pakati pa mapale anzake. Kodi dongo lingafunse munthu wowumba kuti, ‘Kodi ukuwumba chiyani?’ Kodi ntchito yako inganene kuti, ‘Ulibe luso?’
10 As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing forth?
Tsoka kwa wofunsa abambo ake kuti, ‘Kodi munabereka chiyani?’ Kapena amayi ake kuti, ‘Kodi mufuna kubereka chiyani?’
11 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
“Yehova Woyerayo wa Israeli, ndiponso Mlengi wake akunena, zokhudza zinthu zimene zikubwera ndi izi: Kodi iwe ukundifunsa za ana anga, kapena kundilamula pa zokhudza ntchito zanga?
12 I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
Ndine amene ndinapanga dziko lapansi ndikulenga munthu kuti akhalemo. Ine ndi manja anga ndinayalika thambo; ndimalamulira zolengedwa zonse za mlengalenga.
13 I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.
Ndine amene ndidzawutsa Koresi kuti chilungamo changa chikwaniritsidwe: ndipo ndidzawongolera njira zake zonse. Iye adzamanganso mzinda wanga ndi kumasula anthu anga amene ali mu ukapolo, wopanda kupereka ndalama kapena mphotho, akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.”
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
Yehova akuti, “Chuma cha ku Igupto ndi chuma cha malonda cha Kusi chidzakhala chanu. Anthu amphamvu zawo ndi athanzi a ku Seba adzabwera kwa inu ndipo adzakhala anthu anu; iwo adzidzakutsatani pambuyo panu ali mʼmaunyolo. Adzakugwadirani ndi kukupemphani, ponena kuti, ‘Ndithudi Mulungu ali ndi inu, ndipo palibenso wina; palibenso mulungu wina.’”
15 For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
Zoonadi inu muli ndi Mulungu wobisika amene ali Mulungu ndi Mpulumutsi wa Israeli.
16 All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
Onse amene amapanga mafano adzawachititsa manyazi ndi kuwanyozetsa. Adzakhala osokonezeka maganizo.
17 Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
Koma Yehova adzapulumutsa Israeli ndi chipulumutso chamuyaya; simudzachitanso manyazi kapena kunyozeka mpaka kalekale.
18 Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
Yehova analenga zinthu zakumwamba, Iye ndiye Mulungu; amene akulenga dziko lapansi, ndi kulikhazikitsa, sanalipange kuti likhale lopanda kanthu, koma analipanga kuti anthu akhalemo. Iyeyu akunena kuti: Ine ndine Yehova, ndipo palibenso wina.
19 I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
Ine sindinayankhule mwachinsinsi, pamalo ena a mdima; Ine sindinaziwuze zidzukulu za Yakobo kuti, “Ndifunefuneni ku malo kopanda kanthu.” Ine Yehova, ndimayankhula zoona; ndikunena zolungama.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
Yehova akuti, “Sonkhanani pamodzi ndipo mubwere; yandikirani, inu amene munapulumuka pothawa nkhondo kwa anthu a mitundu ina. Ndinu opanda nzeru amene mumanyamula mafano a mitengo, amene mumapemphera kwa milungu imene singathe kupulumutsa.
21 If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
Fotokozani mlandu wanu, mupatsane nzeru nonse pamodzi. Kodi ndani ananeneratu zimenezi kalekale? Ndani anazifotokozeratu zimenezi nthawi yamakedzana? Kodi si Ineyo Yehova? Ndipo palibenso Mulungu wina kupatula Ine, Mulungu wolungama ndi Wopulumutsa, palibenso wina kupatula Ine.
22 Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
“Tembenukirani kwa Ine kuti mupulumuke, inu anthu onse a pa dziko lapansi, pakuti Ine ndine Mulungu ndipo palibenso wina.
23 By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
Ndalumbira ndekha, pakamwa panga patulutsa mawu owona, mawu amene sadzasinthika konse akuti, bondo lililonse lidzagwada pamaso panga; anthu onse adzalumbira potchula dzina langa.
24 saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
Iwo adzanene kwa Ine kuti, ‘Chilungamo ndi mphamvu zimapezeka mwa Yehova yekha.’” Onse amene anamuwukira Iye adzabwera kwa Iye ndipo adzachita manyazi.
25 By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
Koma mwa Yehova zidzukulu zonse za Israeli zidzapambana ndi kupeza ulemerero.
