Yesaya
48 Pulikani ichi, imwe nyumba ya Yakhobe,
Imwe mukujichema zina la Israyeli+
Na imwe mwafuma ku maji gha* Yuda,
Mwaŵeneimwe mukulapa mu zina la Yehova+
Na imwe mukuchema pa Chiuta wa Israyeli,
Kweni mu unenesko na urunji chara.+
2 Pakuti ŵakujithya zina kutolera pa msumba utuŵa+
Na kupenja wovwiri kwa Chiuta wa Israyeli,+
Uyo zina lake ni Yehova wa mawumba.
3 “Vinthu vyakwamba nkhamuphalirani kale chomene.
Vikafuma mu mulomo wane,
Ndipo nkhavimanyiska.+
Mwamabuchi nkhachitapo kanthu, ndipo vikawoneka.+
4 Chifukwa nkhamanya kuti ndimwe ŵamtafu
Kuti singo zinu ni msipa wachisulo ndipo visko vinu ni mkuŵa.+
5 Nkhakuphalira kale chomene.
Pambere chindamanyikwe, ine nkhakuphalira kuti uchipulike,
Kuti uleke kuyowoya kuti: ‘Ngoza wane wachita ichi.
Chikozgo chane chakuŵaja na chikozgo chane chachisulo* ndivyo vyalangura chinthu ichi.’
6 Mwapulika na kuwona vyose ivi.
Kasi muchipharazgenge chara?+
Kwamba sono, nkhuphara vinthu viphya kwa imwe,+
Vinthu vyakubisika ivyo mundavimanye.
7 Vikulengeka sono, kale chomene chara,
Vinthu ivyo undavipulikepo kufika muhanya uno,
Kuti uleke kuyowoya kuti: ‘Wonani, nkhuvimanya kale.’
8 Kweni undavipulike,+ undavimanye,
Kumanyuma uku, makutu ghako ghakaŵa ghambura kujulika.
9 Kweni niwezgenge ukali wane chifukwa cha zina lane.+
Chifukwa cha malumbo ghane nijikorenge,
Ndipo nikuparanyenge yayi.+
10 Wona, nakwenga, kweni nga ni siliva chara.+
Nakuyezga mu ng’anjo ya visuzgo.+
Uchindami wane nkhuwupeleka kwa munyake chara.*
12 Pulika kwa ine, iwe Yakhobe, na iwe Israyeli wamweneiwe nakuchema.
Ndine mweneyura.+ Ndine wakwamba. Ndineso waumaliro.+
Para nkhuvichema, vyose vikwimilira pamoza.
14 Wunganani pamoza mose imwe, mupulike.
Ni njani pakati pawo uyo waphara vinthu ivi?
Yehova wamutemwa.+
15 Ine namwene nayowoya na kumuchema.+
Niza nayo, ndipo nthowa yake yiŵenge yachandulo.+
16 Zani pafupi na ine, mupulike ichi.
Kufuma waka pakwamba nkhuyowoyera kumphepete chara.+
Kufuma pa nyengo iyo vikachitikanga, ine nkhaŵapo.”
Ndipo sono Fumu Yikuru Yehova yanituma, na mzimu wake.
17 Yehova, Muwomboli winu, Mutuŵa wa Israyeli+ wakuti:
“Ine Yehova, ndine Chiuta winu,
Uyo wakumusambizgani kuti musange chandulo,+
Uyo wakumulongozgani mu nthowa iyo mukwenera kwendamo.+
18 Muŵenge kuti mwapulikira malango ghane!+
Mphanyi zina lawo lindadumulike panji kuparanyika pamaso pane.”
20 Fumanimo mu Babuloni!+
Chimbirani ku Ŵakalidi.
Yowoyani mwachimwemwe! Muchipharazge!+
Manyiskani ichi ku vigoti vya charu chapasi.+
Muyowoye kuti: “Yehova wawombora muteŵeti wake Yakhobe.+
21 Ŵakaŵa na nyota chara apo wakaŵalongozganga mu malo ghakupasuka.+
Wakaŵafumiskira maji mu jalawe.
Wakaswa jalawe, ndipo maji ghakafuma.”+
22 “Kulije mtende ku ŵaheni,” wakuti Yehova.+
