Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
Tsoka kwa anthu amene amapanga malamulo opanda chilungamo, kwa iwo amene amalemba zongovutitsa anzawo,
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
kuwalanda anthu osauka ufulu wawo ndi kumana chilungamo osautsidwa pakati pa anthu anga, amalanda zinthu za akazi amasiye ndi kubera ana amasiye.
3 And what will ye do in the day of punishment, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
Kodi mudzatani pa tsiku la chilango, pofika chiwonongeko chochokera kutali? Kodi mudzathawira kwa yani kuti akuthandizeni? Nanga chuma chanu mudzachisiya kuti?
4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Kudzatsala nʼkungozolika mwamanyazi pakati pa anthu ogwidwa kapena kufa pamodzi ndi ophedwa. Komabe pa zonsezi mkwiyo wake sunawachokere, mkono wake uli chitambasulire.
5 O Assyrian, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand is my indignation.
“Tsoka kwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya, chikwapu cha mkwiyo wanga, iye ndiye ndodo ya mkwiyo wanga!
6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I command him, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Ndidzamutuma kukalimbana ndi mtundu wosapembedza Mulungu, ndidzamutumiza kukalimbana ndi anthu amene amandikwiyitsa Ine, kukafunkha ndi kulanda chuma, ndi kuwapondereza pansi ngati matope a mʼmisewu.
7 Yet he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
Koma izi si zimene akufuna kukachita, izi si zimene zili mʼmaganizo mwake; cholinga chake ndi kukawononga, kukapulula mitundu yambiri ya anthu.
8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?
Iye akuti, ‘Kodi atsogoleri anga ankhondo si mafumu okhaokha?’
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
‘Kodi Kalino sanagonjetsedwe monga Karikemesi? Kodi Hamati sali ngati Aripadi, nanga Samariya sali ngati Damasiko?
10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images excelled them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
Dzanja langa linakantha maufumu a anthu opembedza mafano, mafumu amene mafano awo ndi aakulu kupambana Yerusalemu ndi Samariya;
11 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
nanga Ine nʼkulephera kodi kuwononga Yerusalemu pamodzi ndi mafano ake monga ndinakanthira Samariya pamodzi ndi mafano ake?’”
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
Ambuye akadzamaliza ntchito yonse yolanga phiri la Ziyoni ndi Yerusalemu adzalanganso mfumu ya ku Asiriya chifukwa cha kudzitama ndi kunyada kwake.
13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
Pakuti mfumuyo ikuti, “‘Ndachita zimenezi ndi dzanja langa, ndiponso ndi nzeru zanga, chifukwa ndine wozindikira zinthu. Ndinachotsa malire a mitundu ya anthu, ndinafunkha chuma chawo; ndinagonjetsa mafumu awo monga munthu wamphamvu.
14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
Dzanja langa lagwira chuma cha mitundu ya anthu ngati momwe munthu amagwirira chisa cha mbalame, ngati momwe anthu amatolera mazira osiyidwa, motero inenso ndinasonkhanitsa mayiko onse; palibe mbalame imene inakupiza mapiko ake, kapena kuyasama kukamwa kuti ilire.’”
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it, or as if the staff should lift itself, as if it were no wood.
Kodi nkhwangwa ingathe kudzikuza kupambana woyigwiritsa ntchito, kapena macheka angathe kudzikuza kupambana wowagwiritsa ntchito? Ndiye kukhala ngati kuti chikwapu chikuzunguza munthu amene wachinyamula, kapena ngati kuti ndodo ikuopseza amene wayinyamula!
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzatumiza matenda owondetsa kwa ankhondo amphamvu; kunyada kwa mfumuyo kudzapsa ndi moto wosazima.
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
Mulungu, Kuwala kwa Israeli, adzakhala ngati moto, Woyera uja wa Israeli adzakhala ngati malawi a moto. Motowo udzawatentha ndi kuwapsereza ngati minga ndi mkandankhuku pa tsiku limodzi.
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
Ankhondo ake adzawonongedwa ngati nkhalango yayikulu ndi ngati nthaka yachonde.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.
Mitengo yotsalira ya mʼnkhalango zake idzakhala yochepa kwambiri, yoti ndi mwana yemwe ndi kuyiwerenga.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them; but shall lean upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Tsiku limenelo otsalira a ku Israeli, opulumuka a nyumba ya Yakobo, sadzadaliranso anthu amene anawakantha, koma adzadalira Yehova, Woyerayo wa Israeli.
21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God.
Otsalira adzabwerera, otsalira a Yakobo adzabwerera kwa Mulungu Wamphamvu.
22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the full end decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
Iwe Israeli, ngakhale anthu ako achuluke ngati mchenga wa ku nyanja, otsala okha ndiwo adzabwerere. Chiwonongeko chalamulidwa, chidzaonetsa chilungamo chosefukira.
23 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a full end, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawononga ndithu dziko lonse monga momwe analamulira.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Nʼchifukwa chake, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akunena kuti, “Inu anthu anga okhala mu Ziyoni, musawaope Asiriya, amene amakukanthani ndi ndodo nakumenyani ndi zibonga monga mmene Igupto anachitira.
25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and my anger in their destruction.
Patsala pangʼonongʼono kuti mkwiyo wanga uchoke pa inu ndipo ndidzaonetsa ukali wanga pa iwo mpaka kuwawononga.”
26 And the LORD of hosts shall raise up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzawakwapula ndi chikwapu, monga momwe anakwapulira Amidiyani ku thanthwe la Orebu; ndipo adzatukula ndodo yake pa madzi ndikuwalanga monga analangira Igupto pa nyanja.
27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Tsiku limenelo katundu wawo adzachotsedwa pa mapewa anu, goli lawo lidzachoka mʼkhosi mwanu; golilo lidzathyoka chifukwa cha kunenepa kwambiri.
28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath attended to his carriages:
Adani alowa mu Ayati apyola ku Migironi; asunga katundu wawo ku Mikimasi.
29 They have gone over the pass: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul hath fled.
Adutsa pa mpata uja, ndipo akuti, “Tikagona ku Geba” Rama akunjenjemera; Gibeya, mzinda wa Saulo ukuthawa.
30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.
Lilani mokweza, inu anthu a ku Galimu! Tchera khutu, iwe Laisa! Iwe Anatoti wosauka!
31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
Anthu a ku Madimena akuthawa; anthu a ku Gebimu bisalani.
32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Lero lomwe lino adaniwo adzayima ku Nobu; adzagwedeza mikono yawo, kuopseza anthu a ku Ziyoni, pa phiri la Yerusalemu.
33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
Taonani, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, adzadula mwamphamvu nthambi za mitengo, mitengo yodzikweza idzadulidwa, mitengo yayitali idzagwetsedwa.
34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
Yehova adzadula ndi nkhwangwa mitengo ya mʼnkhalango yowirira; Lebanoni adzagwa pamaso pa Wamphamvu.
