Yesaya
57 Wolungama wawonongedwa,
Koma palibe amene zikumukhudza.
2 Iye amalowa mumtendere.
Onse amene amayenda mowongoka amapita kukapuma mʼmanda.*
4 Kodi mukumuseka ndani?
Kodi mukuyasamulira ndani pakamwa panu ndi kumutulutsira lilime?
Kodi inu si ana a machimo,
Ana a chinyengo,+
5 Amene mukukhala ndi chilakolako champhamvu chogonana pakati pa mitengo ikuluikulu,+
Pansi pa mtengo uliwonse wa masamba ambiri?+
Kodi si inu amene mumapha ana mʼzigwa,*+
Pakati pa matanthwe?
6 Gawo lako lili pamodzi ndi miyala yosalala yamʼchigwa.*+
Inde, gawo lako ndi limeneli.
Ndipo umapereka nsembe zachakumwa, ndiponso mphatso kwa zinthu zimenezi.+
Kodi ine ndikhutire* ndi zinthu zimenezi?
7 Bedi lako unaliika pamwamba pa phiri lalitali ndi lokwezeka.+
Ndipo unapita kumeneko kukapereka nsembe.+
8 Unaika chizindikiro chachikumbutso chako kuseri kwa chitseko ndi kuseri kwa felemu.
Iwe unandisiya ndipo unavula.
Unakwera mtunda nʼkukulitsa bedi lako.
Ndipo unachita nawo pangano.
Unatumiza nthumwi zako kutali kwambiri,
Moti mpaka unatsikira mʼManda.*
10 Watopa chifukwa chotsatira njira zako zambiri,
Koma sunanene kuti, ‘Nʼzopanda phindu!’
Unapeza mphamvu zina.
Nʼchifukwa chake sunafooke.*
Ine sunandikumbukire.+
Palibe chimene unaganizira mumtima mwako.+
Kodi si paja ine ndinakhala chete ndipo sindinachitepo kanthu pa zochita zako?+
Choncho iweyo sunkandiopa.
Mphepo idzaulutsa mafano onsewo
Ndipo mpweya udzawakankhira kutali,
Koma munthu amene amathawira kwa ine adzalandira dziko
Ndipo adzatenga phiri langa loyera kukhala lake.+
14 Ndiyeno wina adzanena kuti, ‘Konzani msewu! Konzani msewu! Konzani njira!+
Chotsani chopinga chilichonse panjira ya anthu anga.’”
15 Chifukwa Wapamwamba ndi Wokwezeka,
Amene adzakhalepo mpaka kalekale+ ndiponso dzina lake ndi loyera,+ wanena kuti:
“Ine ndimakhala pamalo apamwamba komanso oyera,+
Koma ndimakhalanso ndi anthu opsinjika ndiponso amene ali ndi mtima wodzichepetsa,
Kuti nditsitsimutse mtima wa anthu onyozeka
Ndiponso kuti nditsitsimutse mtima wa anthu opsinjika.+
16 Chifukwa ine sindidzatsutsana nawo mpaka kalekale
Kapena kukhala wokwiya nthawi zonse.+
Popeza mzimu wa munthu ukhoza kufooka chifukwa cha ine,+
Ngakhale zinthu zopuma zimene ine ndinapanga.
17 Ine ndinakwiya chifukwa cha machimo amene ankachita pofuna kupeza phindu mwachinyengo,+
Choncho ndinamulanga, ndinabisa nkhope yanga ndipo ndinakwiya.
Koma iye anapitiriza kuyenda ngati wopanduka,+ ankangotsatira zofuna za mtima wake.
18 Ine ndaona njira zake,
Koma ndidzamuchiritsa+ nʼkumutsogolera,+
Ndipo ndidzayambiranso kumutonthoza,+ iyeyo ndi anthu ake amene akulira.”+
19 “Ndikulenga chipatso cha milomo.
Mtendere wosatha udzaperekedwa kwa amene ali kutali
Ndiponso kwa amene ali pafupi+ ndipo ndidzamʼchiritsa,” akutero Yehova.
20 “Koma anthu oipa ali ngati nyanja imene ikuchita mafunde, imene singathe kukhala bata,
Ndipo madzi ake akuvundula zomera zamʼnyanjamo ndiponso matope.
