Yesaya
62 Chifukwa cha Ziyoni sindidzakhala chete,+
Ndipo chifukwa cha Yerusalemu sindidzakhala phee
Mpaka kulungama kwake kutawala kwambiri,+
Ndiponso mpaka chipulumutso chake chitakhala ngati muuni woyaka moto.+
3 Udzakhala chisoti chokongola mʼdzanja la Yehova,
Ndiponso nduwira yachifumu mʼdzanja la Mulungu wako.
Koma dzina lako lidzakhala Ndimakondwera Naye,+
Ndipo dziko lako lidzatchedwa Mkazi Wokwatiwa.
Chifukwa Yehova adzasangalala nawe,
Ndipo dziko lako lidzakhala ngati mkazi wokwatiwa.
5 Chifukwa mofanana ndi mmene mnyamata amakwatirira namwali,
Ana ako aamuna adzakukwatira.
Ngati mmene mkwati amasangalalira chifukwa cha mkwatibwi,
Mulungu wako adzasangalala chifukwa cha iwe.+
6 Iwe Yerusalemu, ine ndaika alonda pamakoma a mpanda wako.
Nthawi zonse, masana onse komanso usiku wonse, iwo asakhale chete.
Inu amene mukutchula dzina la Yehova,
Musapumule,
7 Ndipo pitirizani kupemphera kwa iye mpaka atakhazikitsa Yerusalemu,
Inde, mpaka atamusandutsa chinthu choti anthu padziko lonse azichitamanda.”+
8 Yehova walumbira atakweza dzanja lake lamanja ndiponso mkono wake wamphamvu kuti:
“Sindidzaperekanso mbewu zanu kwa adani anu kuti chikhale chakudya chawo,
Ndipo alendo sadzamwa vinyo wanu watsopano amene munamupeza movutikira.+
9 Koma anthu amene adzakolole mbewuzo ndi amene adzazidye ndipo adzatamanda Yehova.
Amene adzakolole mphesa ndi amene adzamwe vinyoyo mʼmabwalo anga oyera.”+
10 Dutsani mʼmageti, dutsani mʼmageti.
Lambulani njira kuti anthu adutse.+
Konzani msewu, konzani msewu waukulu.
Muchotsemo miyala.+
Anthu a mitundu yosiyanasiyana muwakwezere chizindikiro+
11 Taonani! Yehova walengeza mpaka kumalekezero a dziko lapansi kuti:
Taona! Mphoto yake ili ndi iyeyo,
Ndipo malipiro amene amapereka ali pamaso pake.’”+
