Izaiya
49 Imwe ntsuwa, ndibvesereni,
Pontho bveserani mwadidi imwe madzindza anakhala kutali.+
Yahova andicemera ine mbandidzati kubalwa.*+
Kutomera mu ndzidzi ukhali ine mʼmimba mwa mai wanga, iye acemera dzina yanga.
Iye andicitisa kukhala pswimo yakunozwa;
Iye andibisa mʼbudu yace yakuikhira mapswimo.
3 Iye andipanga: “Iwe Izraeli, iwe ndiwe ntumiki wanga,+
Kubulukira kuna iwe, ine ndinadzapangiza mbiri yanga.”+
4 Mbwenye ine ndalonga: “Ine ndaphata basa papezi.
Ine ndabvunga mphambvu zanga papezi na pinthu pyakusowa basa.
5 Yahova, ule adandicita toera ndikhale ntumiki wace kutomera mu ndzidzi ukhali ine mʼmimba,
Andipanga toera ndiendese pontho Yakobe kuna iye,
Toera Izraeli agumanyizwe kuna iye.+
Kuna Yahova ine ndinadzapaswa mbiri,
Pontho Mulungu wanga anadzakhala mphambvu yanga.
6 Iye alonga: “Ine ndakukhazikisa toera ukhale ntumiki wanga
Tayu basi ene toera ubwezerese madzindza a Yakobe,
Na kubwezeresa pontho Aizraeli adapulumuswa.*
Ine ndakuperekambo ninga ceza kuna madzindza anango,+
Toera cipulumuso canga cifike kunkhomo kwa dziko yapantsi.”+
7 Yahova Muomboli wa Izraeli, Wakucena,+ alonga tenepa kuna munthu wakupwazika,+ ule anaidiwa na madzindza, ntumiki wa atongi:
“Amambo anadzaona mbalamuka,
Pontho atsogoleri anadzagodama
Thangwi ya Yahova wakuti ndi wakukhulupirika,+
Wakucena wa Izraeli, ule adakusankhula.”+
8 Yahova alonga tenepa:
“Mu ndzidzi wakupangiza ntsisi, ine ndakutawira,+
Pontho pa ntsiku yacipulumuso, ine ndakuphedza;+
Ine ndapitiriza kukutsidzikiza toera iwe ukhale cibverano pakati pa ine na mbumba,+
Toera ndisasanyire pontho dziko,
Toera ndipase pontho mbumba yanga unthaka wawo,+
9 Toera kupanga ale ali nkaidi: ‘Bulukani kunja!’+
Pontho toera kupanga ale ali ncidima:+ ‘Bulukirani!’
Iwo anadzagumana cakudya nʼkhundu mwa njira ninga mabira,
Cakudya cawo cinadzagumanika nʼkhundu monsene mwa njira.*
10 Iwo nee anadzabva njala nee nyota,+
Iwo nee anadzathabuswabve na mphepo yakupisa, peno kupisa kwa dzuwa,+
Thangwi iwo anadzatsogolerwa na ule anaabvera ntsisi,+
Pontho iye anadzaenda nawo ku mbuto zinabuluka madzi.+
11 Ndinadzacinja mapiri anga onsene kudza njira,
Pontho miseu yanga inadzakhala padzulu.+
12 Onani! Iwo ali kubwera bulukira kutali,+
Anango ali kubulukira kunkwiriro, anango ali kubulukira kumadokero a dzuwa,
Pontho anango ali kubulukira ku dziko ya Sinimu.”+
13 Kudzulu, khuwa mwakutsandzaya; dziko yapantsi, tsandzaya.+
Mapiri mbakomerwe na mikhuwo yakutsandzaya.+
14 Mbwenye Sioni asapitiriza kulonga:
“Yahova andithawa,+ pontho Yahova andiduwala.”+
15 Kodi nkazi anakwanisa kuduwala mwanace wakuyamwa,
Peno anacimwana kubvera ntsisi mwana adabala iye?
Ngakhale akazi anewa aduwale, ine cipo ndinakuduwala.+
16 Ona! Ine ndalemba dzina yako mʼmanja mwanga.
Mipanda yako yonsene iri pamaso panga.
17 Anako anabwera mwakucimbiza.
Ale adakufudza mbakukunda, anadzabuluka kuna iwe mbaenda.
18 Yangʼana nʼkhundu mwako, pontho ona pinacitika.
Iwo onsene agumanyikana pabodzi.+
Iwo ali kubwera kuna iwe.
Yahova alonga: “Ndiri kudumbira mu dzina ya umaso wanga kuti
Iwe unadzaabvala onsene ninga pyakubalikisa,
Pontho unadzaabvala ninga pinacita mankhadzi wankazi.
19 Maseze mbuto zako zikhadamala kufudzwa mbazikhala zakusowa anthu, pontho dziko yako mbikhala madembe,+
Cincino iyo inadzacepa thangwi ya anthu anafuna kudzakhala mwenemo,+
20 Ana adabalwa mu ndzidzi ukhali iwe wakutsukwala anadzakupanga tenepa:
‘Mbuto ino yaticepera kakamwe.
Tipaseni mbuto inango toera tikhale.’+
21 Iwe unadzalonga muntima mwako:
‘Mbani baba wa ana anewa?
Ine ndine nkazi adaferwa na ana, pontho nee ndisabala,
Ndaendeswa ku ubitcu, pontho ndafungirwa nkaidi.
Mbani adakuza ana anewa?+
22 Yahova Mbuya Wankulu Kakamwe alonga tenepa:
“Onani, ine ndinadzalamusira madzindza djanja yanga,
Pontho ndinadzalamusa cidzindikiro canga kuna mbumba za anthu.+
Iwo anadzathukula anako amuna mʼmanja mwawo* mbaabweresa,
Pontho mʼmapewa mwawo anadzathukula anako akazi.+
23 Iwe unadzatsalakanwa na amambo,+
Pontho akazawo anadzakhala amakayaya ako.
Iwo anadzagodama pamaso pako mbakotamisa nkhope zawo mpaka pantsi,+
Pontho anadzanyanguta pfumbi ya manyalo ako,+
Penepo iwe unadzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova;
Ale anandidikhira nee anadzapaswa manyadzo.”+
24 Kodi pisakwanisika kukwatira nyankhondo anthu adaphata iye ninga anyakaidi ace,
Peno, pinakwanisika kuombola mabitcu a ntongi waukali?
25 Mbwenye Yahova alonga tenepa:
Ine ndinadzathimbana na ale anathimbana na iwe,+
Pontho ndinadzapulumusa anako.
26 Ine ndinadzacitisa kuti ale anakutsalakana mwakuipa adye manungo awo,
Iwo anadzaledzera na ciropa cawo ninga amwa vinyu yakutapira.
