Izaiya
2 Mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi wa iwo anadzakhala ninga mbuto* yakuthawira mphepo,
Mbuto yakubisalira* mu ndzidzi wa condzi,
Ninga mikulo ya madzi mu dziko yakusowa madzi,+
Ninga nʼthundzi wa mwala ukulu mu dziko yakupisa kakamwe.
3 Penepo, maso a ale akuti asakwanisa kuona nee anadzafungwa,
Pontho makutu a ale akuti asakwanisa kubva anadzabvesesa mwadidi.
4 Mitima ya ale anacita pinthu mbadzati kunyerezera mwadidi inadzanyerezera pyaudziwisi,
Lirimi ya ale ali na cibubu inadzalonga mwadidi, pontho mwakubveka.+
5 Nyakucita pyakuipa nee anadzacemerwabve nyakupasa mwakudzala manja,
Pontho munthu anakhonda kutowezera makhaliro adidi nkhabe kudzacemerwa wakulemedzeka;
6 Nyakucita pyakuipa basi ene asalonga pyakuipa,
Pontho ntima wace usanyerezera pinthu pyakuipa,+
Toera kucitisa anango kusandukira* Yahova na kulonga uthambi thangwi ya Iye,
Toera kucitisa munthu wakuti ali na njala akhonde kudya,
Pontho toera kucitisa munthu ali na nyota akhonde kumwa madzi.
7 Munthu anakhonda kutowezera makhaliro adidi, manyerezero ace ndi akuipa;+
Iye asacitisa anthu kucita pinthu pyakupasa manyadzo,
Pontho asalonga uthambi toera kuthabusa nyakutcerenga,+
Ngakhale nyakutcerenga alonge undimomwene.
8 Mbwenye munthu ali na ntima wakupasa, asapasa mwakudzala manja,
Pontho asapitiriza kupasa mwakudzala manja.
9 “Imwe akazi akuti nkhabe dzudzumika na pinthu, lamukani, pontho bveserani fala yanga!
Imwe ana akazi akuti nkhabe dzudzumika na pinthu,+ bveserani pinalonga ine!
10 Pangapita caka cibodzi na ntsiku zingasi, imwe akuti nkhabe dzudzumika na pinthu, munadzatoma kudzudzumika
Thangwi ndzidzi wakutcoda mauva ungamala, nkhabe kudzaoneka nee nsapo ubodzi wakuti wagumanywa.+
11 Tetemerani, imwe akazi akuti nkhabe dzudzumika na pinthu!
Dzudzumikani, imwe akuti nkhabe dzudzumika na pinthu!
Dulani nguwo zanu,
Pontho bvalani masakha ncunu mwanu.+
12 Menyani diti yanu, pontho lirani
Thangwi ya minda yanu yadidi na miti ya mauva yakuti isabala misapo.
13 Mataka a mbumba yanga anadzamera minga na pswepswe;
Iyo inadzaphimbira nyumba zonsene zakuti zikhali zakutsandzaya,
Inde, nzinda wakuti ukhali wakukomerwa.+
14 Thangwi nyumba yandzulu na yakutsidzikizika inadzasiyiwa yokha;
Uviyaviya wa mu nzinda nee unadzabvekabve.+
Ofeli+ na nyumba yandzulu ya nyakuonera pinadzakhala madembe,
Pontho inadzakhala mbuto yakusendzekera maburu a ntsanga,
Na mbuto yakudyera mikumbi ya pinyama,+
15 Mpaka Mulungu atitsanulire nzimu wace,+
Thando mbidzakhala munda wa misapo,
Pontho munda wa misapo mbuoniwa ninga nsitu.+
16 Penepo nʼthando munadzakhala ulungami,
Pontho mʼmunda wa misapo munadzaoneka udidi.+
17 Ulungami wandimomwene unadzabweresa ntendere,+
Pontho ulungami wandimomwene unadzacitisa kupfulika na citsidzikizo cakwenda na kwenda.+
18 Mbumba yanga inadzakhala pa mbuto ya ntendere,
Inadzakhala nʼnyumba zakutsidzikizika na mʼmbuto zadidi toera kupuma.+
19 Mbwenye matalala anadzafudza nsitu,
Pontho nzinda unadzapaswa manyadzo.
20 Anyakutsandzaya ndimwe akuti musabzwala mʼmbuto zonsene ziri na madzi,
Akuti asasudzula ngʼombe na buru.”+
