Izaiya
8 Yahova andipanga: “Kwata tabwa ikulu,+ pontho lemba pa tabwa ineyi na maletra akuoneka mwadidi,* ‘Maeri-Salala-Hazi-Bhazi.’* 2 Pontho ndisafuna anthu akukhulupirika toera acitire umboni pyenepi, nyantsembe Uriya+ na Zakariya mwana wa Yebherekiya.”
3 Buluka penepo ndapita mʼmabonde* na mprofeta wankazi,* pontho iye adzakhala na mimba mbabala mwana wamamuna.+ Penepo Yahova andipanga: “Mpase dzina yakuti Maeri-Salala-Hazi-Bhazi, 4 thangwi khombwani unoyu mbadzati kwanisa kulonga ‘Baba!’ peno ‘Mama!’ mpfuma zonsene za ku Dhamasku na pinthu pidatapatwa ku Samariya pinadzaendeswa kuna mambo wa Asirya.”+
5 Yahova alonga pontho na ine:
6 “Nakuti mbumba iyi yakhonda madzi akuwewa mwadidi a ku Silowa,*+
Pontho isakomerwa na Rezini na mwana wa Remaliya,+
7 Yahova anadzabweresa kuna iwo
Nkulo* wa madzi mazinji na amphambvu,
Mambo wa Asirya+ na mphambvu zace zonsene.
Iye anadzadza mikulo yace mingʼono yonsene,
Mbatayikira
8 Mu dziko yonsene ya Yuda.
Iye anadzakhala ninga madzi akudzala mbafika mpaka nʼkhosi;+
Ninga mbalame, iye anadzafuthula maphapido ace mbagudumira dziko yako yonsene,
9 Imwe mbumba aphekeseni, mbwenye imwe munadzagwandwa-gwandwa.
Bveserani imwe monsene munakhala mʼmbuto zakutali za dziko yapantsi!
Khunganyikani toera mumenye nkhondo,* mbwenye imwe munadzagwandwa-gwandwa!+
Khunganyikani toera mumenye nkhondo, mbwenye imwe munadzagwandwa-gwandwa!
10 Citani masasanyiro, mbwenye iwo anadzapingizwa!
11 Djanja yamphambvu ya Yahova ikhali pana ine toera kundicenjeza kuti ndikhonde kufamba munjira ya mbumba iyi. Pidalonga iye ndi ipi:
12 “Lekani kulonga makunje pinthu pinalonga mbumba iyi kuti ndi makunje!
Lekani kugopa pinagopa iwo;
Lekani kutetemera thangwi ya pyenepi.
13 Yahova wa anyankhondo ndiye anafunika imwe kuona ninga wakucena,+
Ndiye anafunika imwe kugopa,
Pontho ndiye anafuna kukucitisani kutetemera.”+
14 Iye anadzakhala ninga mbuto yakucena,
Mbwenye iye anadzakhalambo ninga mwala wakuti usagwisa,
Pontho iye anadzakhalambo ninga mwala wakugwegwedusa+
Kuna umambo uwiri ene wa Izraeli,
Ninga mulindi na nsampha
Kuna anthu anakhala mu Yerusalemu.
15 Azinji a iwo anadzagwegweduka mbagwa, pontho anadzagwandwa-gwandwa;
Iwo anadzamangwa na nsampha mbaphatwa.
17 Ine ndinadikhira* Yahova+ wakuti abisa nkhope yace kuna dzindza ya Yakobe,+ pontho ine ndinadikhira iye.
18 Onani! Mu Izraeli, ine na ana adandipasa Yahova+ ndife pidzindikiro+ na pirengo pyakubuluka kuna Yahova wa anyankhondo wakuti asakhala Paphiri ya Sioni.
19 Pontho iwo angakupangani kuti: “Bvundzani ale analonga na mizimu na anyakulotera analonga ciwerewere mbadungunya,” kodi mbumba nee isafunika kubvundza Mulungu wawo? Kodi iwo asafunika kubvundza anyakufa toera kuphedza anthu ali mʼmaso?+ 20 Mbwenye iwo asafunika kubvundzisa mwambo na mphangwa zinango zidalembwa!
Iwo angakhonda kulonga mwakubverana na mafala awa, iwo nee anakhala na ceza.*+ 21 Mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi wa iwo anadzapita mu dziko mwawo mwakutsukwala, pontho mbakabva njala;+ thangwi ya njala na kutsukwala, iye anadzayangʼana kudzulu mbapasa dzedze mambo wace na Mulungu wace. 22 Buluka penepo, iye anadzayangʼana pa dziko yapantsi mbaona basi ene kutsukwala na cidima, nʼthundzi, midzidzi yakunentsa na mitambo, pontho nkhabe kudzaona ceza.
