1 Masomphenya amene Yesaya*+ mwana wa Amozi anaona, okhudza Yuda ndi Yerusalemu mʼmasiku a Uziya,+ Yotamu,+ Ahazi+ ndi Hezekiya,+ mafumu a Yuda:+
2 Imvani inu okhala kumwamba, ndipo tcherani khutu inu okhala padziko lapansi,+
Chifukwa Yehova wanena kuti:
3 Ngʼombe yamphongo imadziwa bwino munthu amene anaigula,
Ndipo bulu amadziwa chinthu chimene mbuye wake amamudyetseramo.
Anthu anga sachita zinthu mozindikira.”
Anthu olemedwa ndi zolakwa,
Ana a anthu ochita zoipa, ana a makhalidwe oipa.
5 Kodi mumenyedwanso pati mmene mukupitiriza kupandukamu?+
Mutu wanu uli ndi mabala okhaokha,
Ndipo mtima wanu ukudwala.+
6 Kuyambira kuphazi mpaka kumutu palibe pabwino.
Thupi lonse lili ndi mabala, zilonda, ndiponso lanyukanyuka.
Zilonda zanuzo sizinatsukidwe,* kumangidwa kapena kuthiridwa mafuta.+
7 Dziko lanu lawonongedwa.
Mizinda yanu yawotchedwa ndi moto.
Alendo akudya zokolola zochokera munthaka yanu, inu mukuona.+
Lawonongedwa ngati dziko limene lalandidwa ndi adani.+
8 Mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni* wasiyidwa ngati msasa mʼmunda wa mpesa,
Ngati chisimba* mʼmunda wa nkhaka,
Ndiponso ngati mzinda umene wazunguliridwa ndi adani.+
9 Yehova wa magulu ankhondo akumwamba akanapanda kutisiyira anthu ochepa opulumuka,
Tikanakhala ngati Sodomu,
Ndipo tikanafanana ndi Gomora.+
10 Imvani mawu a Yehova, inu olamulira ankhanza a ku Sodomu.+
Mvetserani malamulo* a Mulungu wathu, inu anthu a ku Gomora.+
11 Yehova wanena kuti: “Kodi nsembe zanu zambirimbirizo zili ndi phindu lanji kwa ine?+
Nsembe zanu zopsereza za nkhosa zamphongo+ ndiponso mafuta a nyama zodyetsedwa bwino+ zandikwana.
Sindikusangalala ndi magazi+ a ngʼombe zazingʼono zamphongo,+ a ana a nkhosa ndiponso magazi a mbuzi.+
12 Inu mukabwera kudzaonekera pamaso panga,+
Kodi ndi ndani amene amakuuzani kuti muchite zimenezi,
Ndi ndani amene amakuuzani kuti muzipondaponda mabwalo a panyumba panga?+
13 Musabweretsenso nsembe zina za mbewu zomwe ndi zopanda phindu.
Zofukiza zanu ndi zonyansa kwa ine.+
Mumachita zikondwerero mwezi watsopano ukaoneka,+ mumasunga masabata,+ ndiponso mumaitanitsa misonkhano.+
Komanso ine ndatopa kukuonani mukugwiritsira ntchito mphamvu zamatsenga+ mukamachita msonkhano wanu wapadera.
14 Ndikudana ndi zikondwerero zimene mumachita mwezi watsopano ukaoneka komanso zikondwerero zina.
Zimenezi zasanduka katundu wolemera kwa ine,
Ndatopa ndi kuzinyamula.
17 Phunzirani kuchita zabwino, muzichita chilungamo,+
Dzudzulani munthu wopondereza ena,
Tetezani ufulu wa mwana wamasiye,
Ndipo muteteze mkazi wamasiye pa mlandu wake.”+
18 Yehova wanena kuti: “Bwerani tsopano, tiyeni tikambirane ndipo ine ndikuthandizani kuti mukhalenso pa ubwenzi wabwino ndi ine.+
Ngakhale kuti machimo anu ndi ofiira kwambiri,
Adzayera kwambiri.+
Ngakhale kuti ndi ofiira ngati magazi,
Adzayera ngati thonje.
20 Koma mukakana nʼkupanduka,
Mudzawonongedwa ndi lupanga,+
Chifukwa pakamwa pa Yehova mʼpamene panena zimenezi.”
21 Mzinda wokhulupirika+ uja wasanduka hule.+
Unali wodzaza ndi chilungamo+
Ndipo zachilungamo zinkakhala mwa iye,+
Koma tsopano muli zigawenga zopha anthu.+
23 Akalonga ako ndi osamva ndipo amagwirizana ndi anthu akuba.+
Aliyense wa iwo amakonda ziphuphu ndipo amalakalaka kupatsidwa mphatso.+
Mwana wamasiye samuweruza mwachilungamo,
Ndipo ngakhale mlandu wa mkazi wamasiye safuna kuuweruza.+
24 Choncho Ambuye woona, Yehova wa magulu ankhondo akumwamba,
Mulungu Wamphamvu wa Isiraeli, wanena kuti:
“Eya! Ndidzachotsa adani anga pamaso panga,
Ndipo ndidzabwezera adani anga.+
25 Ndidzakupatsani chilango,
Ndidzakuyengani nʼkuchotseratu zonyansa zanu zonse,
Ndidzachotsa zinthu zonse zimene zikuchititsa kuti musakhale oyera.+
Pambuyo pa zimenezi mudzatchedwa Mzinda Wachilungamo komanso Mzinda Wokhulupirika.+
27 Ziyoni adzawomboledwa ndi chilungamo+
Ndipo anthu ake amene adzabwerere, adzawomboledwanso ndi chilungamo.
29 Chifukwa iwo adzachita manyazi ndi mitengo ikuluikulu imene munkailakalaka,+
Ndipo mudzachititsidwa manyazi chifukwa cha minda imene munasankha.*+
30 Chifukwa mudzakhala ngati mtengo waukulu umene masamba ake akufota,+
Ndiponso ngati munda umene ulibe madzi.
31 Munthu wamphamvu adzakhala ngati udzu wouma,
Ndipo ntchito yake idzakhala ngati kamoto kakangʼono.
Zonsezi zidzayakira limodzi
Popanda wozizimitsa.”
