Izaiya
66 Yahova alonga tenepa:
“Kudzulu ndi mpando wanga wa umambo, dziko yapantsi ndi mbuto yakuikhira manyalo anga.+
Mphapo ndi ntundu wanji wa nyumba inafuna kundimangira imwe,+
Pontho mbuto yanga toera kupuma mbidakhala kupi?”+
2 “Manja anga ndiwo adacita pinthu pyenepi pyonsene,
Munjira ineyi, pinthu pyenepi pyadzakhalapo,” alonga Yahova.+
“Munthu anafuna kuyangʼana ine ndi uyu:
Munthu wakucepeseka na wa ntima wakutsukwala wakuti asagopa mafala anga.+
3 Munthu anapha ngʼombe asaoniwa ninga ule anapha munthu.+
Munthu anapereka bira ninga ntsembe asaoniwa ninga munthu anagwanda khosi ya mwanambwa.+
Ule anapereka muoni asaoniwa ninga ule anapereka ciropa ca nkhumba ninga ntsembe!+
Ule anapereka ntsembe ya olibhano ninga ntsembe ya cikumbuso+ ndi ninga ule anapasa nkhombo na mafala akulongerera.*+
Iwo asankhula kutowezera njira zawo,
Pontho asakomerwa kucita pinthu pyakunyanyasa.
4 Natenepa, ine ndinadzasaka njira toera kuatcunyusa,+
Pontho ine ndinadzaabweresera pinthu pinagopa iwo.
Thangwi pidacemera ine nkhabepo adatawira;
Mu ndzidzi ukhalonga ine nkhabepo adabvesera.+
Iwo apitiriza kucita pinthu pyakuipa pamaso panga,
Pontho iwo asankhula kucita pinthu pinakhonda kukomerwa na ine.”+
5 Bveserani mafala a Yahova, imwe anagopa mafalace:
“Abale anu akuti asakuidani, pontho akuti asakupambulani thangwi ya dzina yanga, alonga: ‘Mbasimbwe Yahova!’+
Mulungu anadzaonekera mbabweresa kutsandzaya kuna imwe,
Mbwenye iwo anadzapaswa manyadzo.”+
6 Mu nzinda muli kubveka kukhuwa kwa uviyaviya, kukhuwa kukubulukira ku templo!
Kukhuwa kweneku kusapangiza kuti Yahova ali kubwezera anyamalwa ace pinthu pidathema iwo.
7 Nkazi mbadzati kubva kupha, abala mwana.+
Kupha kwa kubala mbakudzati fika kuna iye, abala mwana wamamuna.
8 Mbani adabva kale pinthu pyenepi?
Mbani adaona kale pinthu ninga pyenepi?
Kodi dziko inakwanisa kubalwa pa ntsiku ibodzi basi?
Peno dzindza inakwanisa kubalwa ndzidzi ubodzi ene?
Mbwenye mu ndzidzi ukhatoma Sioni kubva kupha toera kubala, abala anace amuna.
9 “Kodi ine ndisacitisa ndzidzi wakubala ufike mbandicitisa kuti mwana akhonde kubalwa?” alonga Yahova.
“Kodi ndinacitisa mwana asale pangʼono na kubalwa, buluka penepo mbandifunga nthumbo?” adapilonga ndi Mulungu wanu.
10 Tsandzayani na Yerusalemu, pontho komerwani naye.+
Imwe monsene akuti musanfuna,+ tsandzayani kakamwe naye, imwe monsene akuti musamulira,
11 Thangwi imwe munadzayamwa nkaka wace mbamukhuta mwadidi, pontho munadzabalangazwa,
Imwe munadzayamwa kakamwe mbamukomerwa na kukula kwa mbiri yace.
12 Natenepa Yahova alonga:
“Ndinadzampasa ntendere wakulandana na nkulo,+
Pontho ndinadzampasa mpfuma za madzindza ninga nkulo wakudzala.+
Imwe munadzayamwa, pontho munadzathukulwa mʼmanja,
Munadzatsalakanwa mwadidi pa miyendo pace.
13 Ninga mama asabalangaza mwanace,
Inembo ndinapitiriza kukubalangazani,+
Pontho imwe munadzabalangazwa thangwi ya Yerusalemu.+
14 Imwe munadzaona pyenepi, pontho mitima yanu inadzakomerwa,
Magogodo anu anadzakhala pontho na mphambvu ninga tsanga iwisi.
Pontho mphambvu za Yahova zinadzapangizika kuna atumiki ace,
Mbwenye iye anadzaipirwa na anyamalwa ace.”+
15 “Thangwi Yahova anadzabwera ninga moto,+
Pontho ngolo zace za nkhondo zinadzabwera ninga condzi,+
Toera kubwezera ukali wace ukulu kuna anyamalwa ace,
Toera kuatcunyusa na malirimi a moto.+
16 Yahova anadzatonga na moto,
Inde, iye anadzaphatisira supada toera kutonga anthu onsene;
Pontho ale anafuna kuphiwa na Yahova anadzakhala azinji.
17 “Ale anakhunganyika mbaceneseka toera kupita mʼminda,*+ mbalimira kuntsi kwa dzimunthu iri pakati pa munda, ale anadya nyama ya nkhumba,+ pinthu pyakukhonda cena na matciru,+ anadzafa onsene pabodzi pene,” alonga Yahova. 18 “Nakuti ndisadziwa mabasa awo na pinthu pinanyerezera iwo, ndikubwera toera kugumanya anthu a madzindza onsene na pilongero pyonsene, iwo anadzabwera mbaona mbiri yanga.”
19 “Ndinadzaikha cidzindikiro pakati pawo, pontho anango mwa ale anafuna kupulumuka ndinadzaatumiza kuna madzindza, kuna ale ali na luso yakuphatisira uta a ku Tarsi,+ Puli na ku Ludhi.+ Ine ndinadzaatumizambo kuna ale anakhala ku Tubhali, ku Yavani+ na ku ntsuwa zakutali kakamwe, akuti adzati kubva kulonga thangwi ya ine peno kuona mbiri yanga; pontho iwo anadzalonga pya mbiri yanga pakati pa madzindza.+ 20 Iwo anadzabweresa abale anu onsene ninga muoni kuna Yahova kubulukira mʼmadzindza onsene,+ iwo anadzabwera mʼmakavalo, mu ngolo zikulu na zingʼono, mʼmaburu na mʼmakamelo akuthamanga kakamwe mpaka kufika paphiri yanga yakucena ku Yerusalemu,” alonga Yahova, “ninga pinacita mbumba ya Izraeli ingabweresa muoni mu pyombo pyakucena panyumba ya Yahova.”
21 “Anango ndinadzaakwata toera akhale anyantsembe anango toera akhale Alevi,” alonga Yahova.
22 “Ninga kudzulu kupswa na dziko yapantsi ipswa,+ pinacita ine pinadzapitiriza pamaso panga,” alonga Yahova, “natenepa dzindza* yanu na dzina yanu inadzapitiriza.”+
23 “Kutomera mwezi upswa mpaka mwezi unango upswa, pontho kutomera Sabudu mpaka Sabudu inango,
Anthu onsene anadzabwera toera kundilambira,”+ alonga Yahova.
24 “Iwo anadzabuluka mbaona manungo a anthu adaphiwa thangwi yakukhonda kundibvera;
Thangwi mpfunye zinafuna kudya manungo awo nee zinadzafa,
Moto unafuna kuapisa nee unadzathima,+
Pontho manungo awo anadzakhala pinthu pyakunyanyasa kuna anthu onsene.”
