Yesaya
31 Tsoka kwa anthu amene amapita ku Iguputo kukapempha thandizo,+
Amene amadalira mahatchi,+
Amene amadalira magaleta ankhondo chifukwa chakuti ndi ambiri,
Komanso mahatchi ankhondo* chifukwa chakuti ndi amphamvu kwambiri.
Koma sayangʼana kwa Woyera wa Isiraeli,
Ndipo safunafuna Yehova.
2 Koma iyenso ndi wanzeru ndipo adzabweretsa tsoka,
Komanso sadzabweza mawu ake.
Iye adzaukira nyumba ya anthu ochita zoipa
Komanso amene amathandiza anthu ochita zoipa.+
Yehova akadzatambasula dzanja lake,
Aliyense amene amapereka thandizo adzapunthwa
Ndipo aliyense amene akuthandizidwa adzagwa.
Onsewo adzawonongedwa nthawi imodzi.
4 Chifukwa izi ndi zimene Yehova wandiuza:
“Mkango umalira moopseza, mkango wamphamvu umalira poteteza nyama imene wagwira.
Abusa ambirimbiri akaitanidwa kuti adzauthamangitse,
Suchita mantha ukamva mawu awo
Kapena kutekeseka chifukwa cha phokoso lawo.
Mofanana ndi zimenezi, Yehova wa magulu ankhondo akumwamba adzatsika kuti achite nkhondo
Poteteza phiri la Ziyoni ndiponso poteteza phiri lake lalingʼono.
5 Mofanana ndi mbalame imene imauluka kuti iteteze ana ake, Yehova wa magulu ankhondo akumwamba adzateteza mzinda wa Yerusalemu.+
Iye adzauteteza nʼkuupulumutsa.
Adzaonetsetsa kuti usawonongedwe ndipo adzaulanditsa.”
6 “Aisiraeli inu, bwererani kwa Mulungu amene mwamupandukira mopanda manyazi.+ 7 Chifukwa pa tsiku limenelo, aliyense wa inu adzataya milungu yake yasiliva yomwe ndi yachabechabe komanso milungu yake yagolide yopanda phindu, imene manja anu anapanga nʼkukuchimwitsani.
Iye adzathawa chifukwa cha lupangalo
Ndipo anyamata ake adzagwiritsidwa ntchito yaukapolo.
