Izaiya
43 Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova,
Ule adakucita iwe Yakobe, Ule adakusasanya iwe Izraeli:+
“Leka kugopa, thangwi ine ndakuombola.+
Ine ndakucemera na dzina yako.
Iwe ndiwe wanga.
Ungafamba pakati pa moto, iwo nee unadzakupisa,
Pontho malirimi a moto nee anadzakubvula.
3 Thangwi ine ndine Yahova Mulungu wako,
Wakucena wa Izraeli, Mpulumusi wako.
Ine ndapereka Ejitu, Etiopya na Sebha
Ninga ciomboli kuna iwe.
Natenepa, ndinadzapereka mbumba thangwi ya iwe,
Pontho ndinadzapereka madzindza toera kupulumusa umaso wako.
5 Leka kugopa, thangwi ine ndiri na iwe.+
Ndinadzabweresa anako* kubulukira kumabulukiro a dzuwa
Mbandikugumanyani kubulukira kumadokero a dzuwa.+
6 Ine ndinadzapanga kunkwiriro: ‘Abweze kwawo!’+
Pontho ndinadzapanga kunterero: ‘Leka kuakhondesa.
Bweresa ananga amuna kubulukira kutali, pontho bweresa ananga akazi kubulukira kunkhomo kwa dziko yapantsi.+
7 Bweresa onsene anacemerwa na dzina yanga,+
Pontho ale adacita ine toera kundipasa mbiri,
Inde, ale adacita ine.’+
8 Bulusani mbumba yakuti ndi maboliboli, maseze ali na maso,
9 Madzindza onsene mbagumanyikane pa mbuto ibodzi ene,
Pontho mbumba zonsene mbazigumanyikane pabodzi pene.+
Pakati pawo,* mbani anafuna kwanisa kulonga pyenepi?
Peno, kodi iwo anakwanisa kutipanga pinthu pinafuna toma kucitika,+
Mbabwerese amboni awo toera kupangiza kuti pinalonga iwo ndi pyandimomwene,
Peno acitise anango kubva mbalonga: ‘Unoyu ndi undimomwene!’”+
10 Yahova alonga: “Imwe ndimwe mboni zanga,+
Inde, ntumiki wanga adasankhula ine,+
Toera mundidziwe mbamundikhulupira,*
Pontho toera mubvesese kuti ine ndine Mʼbodzi ene.+
Ine mbandidzati kukhalapo, nee pakhali Mulungu unango,
Pontho patsogolo panga nee panadzaonekabve Mulungu unango.+
11 Ine ndine Yahova,+ pontho kusiyapo ine nkhabepo mpulumusi unango.”+
12 “Ine ndine Ule adakupangani pinthu pinafuna kucita ine, ule adakupulumusani, pontho ule adakudziwisani pyenepi,
Mu ndzidzi wakuti nee mukhali na mulungu unango pakati panu.+
Natenepa, imwe ndimwe mboni zanga,” alonga Yahova, “pontho ine ndine Mulungu.+
13 Kusiyapo pyenepi, ndzidzi onsene ine Ndine mʼbodzi ene;+
Pontho nkhabepo anafuna kwanisa kundipokosera cinthu mʼmanja mwanga.+
Mu ndzidzi unacita ine pinthu, mbani anafuna kwanisa kupipingiza?”+
14 Yahova Muomboli wanu,+ Wakucena wa Izraeli alonga tenepa:+
“Thangwi ya imwe, ine ndinatuma nsoka wa anyankhondo toera kuenda ku Bhabhilonya, pontho ndinacitisa kuti mipiringanyo yonsene ya misuwo mikulu igwe,+
Akaldheya anadzakhuwa mʼmabote mwawo mwakutsukwala.+
15 Ine ndine Yahova, Wakucena wanu,+ ule Adacita Izraeli,+ Mambo wanu.”+
16 Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova,
Ule adafungula njira pakati pa bara,
Pontho ule adafungula njira pa madzi a mabimbi,+
17 Ule anaendesa kunkhondo ngolo za nkhondo na makavalo,+
Nsoka wa anyankhondo pabodzi na anyankhondo amphambvu:
“Iwo anadzagwa mbacimwana kulamuka.+
Iwo anadzathimiswa ninga tursida ya nyale.”
18 “Lekani kukumbuka pinthu pyakale,
Pontho lekani kupitiriza kupinyerezera.
19 Onani! Ine ndiri kucita pinthu pipswa;+
Pontho ipyo pikucitika.
Kodi imwe mudzati kupidzindikira?
20 Pinyama pya ntsanga pinadzandilemedza,
Anambwa a ntsanga na maavestruji,
Thangwi ndacitisa kuti nʼthando mubuluke madzi,
Mbandiikhamo mikulo,+
Toera mbumba yanga, anthu adasankhula ine+ amwe,
21 Mbumba idagumanya ine
Toera idziwise mbiri yanga.+
23 Imwe nee mwandibweresera mabira toera muapereke ninga ntsembe zakupiswa,
Pontho nee mwandipasa mbiri na ntsembe zanu.
Ine nee ndakukakamizani toera mundibweresere miyoni,
Pontho ine nee ndakunetesani kakamwe mu ndzidzi ukhakuphembani ine insenso.+
24 Iwe nee waphatisira kobiri yako toera kundigulira phesi yakununkhira,
Pontho nee wandikhutisa na mafuta a ntsembe zako.+
Mbwenye wandilemeresa na madawo ako,
Pontho wandinetesa na madodo ako.+
26 Khala ciripo cidaduwala ine, ndikumbusembo;
Longa maonero ako toera kupangiza kuti pinalonga iwe mphyandimomwene.
28 Natenepa, ndinadzaona atsogoleri a pa mbuto yakucena ninga anthu akukhonda cena,
Ine ndinadzapereka Yakobe toera afudzwe,
Pontho ndinadzatawirisa Izraeli toera atikanwe.+
