Yesaya
3 Tamverani! Ambuye woona, Yehova wa magulu ankhondo akumwamba,
Akuchotsa mu Yerusalemu ndi mu Yuda zinthu zonse zofunika pa moyo,
Monga mkate ndi madzi.+
2 Akuchotsanso mwamuna wamphamvu, munthu wankhondo,
Woweruza, mneneri,+ woombeza, mkulu,
3 Mtsogoleri wa anthu 50,+ munthu wolemekezeka, mlangizi,
Katswiri wa matsenga komanso munthu waluso lodziwa kuseweretsa njoka.+
Mnyamata adzamenya munthu wachikulire,
Ndipo munthu wonyozeka adzalimbana ndi munthu wolemekezeka.+
6 Aliyense adzagwira mʼbale wake mʼnyumba mwa bambo ake nʼkumuuza kuti:
“Iwe uli ndi nsalu, ndiye ukhale wolamulira wathu.
Uzilamulira mulu wa bwinjawu.”
7 Tsiku limenelo iye adzakana nʼkunena kuti:
“Ine sindikufuna kukhala womanga* zilonda zanu.
Mʼnyumba mwanga mulibe chakudya kapena zovala.
Musandiike kuti ndikhale wolamulira anthuwa.”
9 Maonekedwe a nkhope zawo akuwachitira umboni wotsutsana nawo,
Ndipo anthuwo akunena za tchimo lawo mofanana ndi anthu a ku Sodomu.+
Iwo sanayese nʼkomwe kulibisa.
Tsoka kwa iwo, chifukwa akudzibweretsera mavuto.
10 Uzani anthu olungama kuti zidzawayendera bwino,
11 Tsoka kwa munthu woipa!
Iye adzakumana ndi mavuto aakulu,
Chifukwa zimene anachitira ena ndi manja ake, nayenso adzamuchitira zomwezo.
12 Amene amayangʼanira anthu anga akamagwira ntchito, akuwachitira nkhanza,
Ndipo akazi ndi amene akuwalamulira.
Inu anthu anga, atsogoleri anu akukusocheretsani,
Ndipo achititsa kuti musadziwe njira yoyenera kutsatira.+
13 Yehova wakhala pamalo ake kuti aimbe anthu mlandu,
Waimirira kuti aweruze mitundu ya anthu.
14 Yehova adzaweruza akulu komanso akalonga a anthu ake.
“Inuyo mwawotcha munda wa mpesa,
Ndipo zinthu zimene munaba kwa anthu osauka zili mʼnyumba zanu.+
15 Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukuphwanya anthu anga
Komanso kukhulitsa nkhope za anthu osauka padothi?”+ akutero Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, Yehova wa magulu ankhondo akumwamba.
16 Yehova wanena kuti: “Chifukwa chakuti ana aakazi a Ziyoni ndi onyada,
Akuyenda mwamatama,*
Amakopa amuna ndi maso awo, nʼkumayenda modzigomera,
Komanso amapanga phokoso chifukwa cha zodzikongoletsera zimene amavala mʼmiyendo yawo,
17 Yehova adzachititsa zipere mʼmutu mwa ana aakazi a Ziyoni,
Ndipo Yehova adzachititsa kuti mʼmutu mwawo mukhale mpala.+
18 Tsiku limenelo Yehova adzachotsa zodzikongoletsera zawo zonse.
Adzachotsa zibangili za mʼmiyendo, zinthu zomanga kumutu, zodzikongoletsera zooneka ngati mwezi,+
19 Ndolo, zibangili za mʼmanja, nsalu zofunda kumutu,
20 Maduku, matcheni ovala mʼmiyendo, malamba a pachifuwa,
Zoikamo mafuta onunkhira,* zithumwa,*
21 Mphete zovala mʼzala, mphete zovala pamphuno,
22 Mikanjo yovala pa nthawi zapadera, malaya ovala pamwamba, mikanjo yabwino kwambiri, tizikwama,
23 Magalasi amʼmanja odziyangʼanira,+ zovala,
Nduwira ndi nsalu zofunda kumutu.
