Izaiya 26:1-21
26 Pa ntsiku ineyi, mu dziko ya Yuda+ munadzaimbwa nyimbo iyi:+
“Ife tiri na nzinda wakuwanga.+
Iye aikha cipulumuso ninga mpanda, pontho ninga mbuto yakututirwa.+
2 Fungulani misuwo mikulu+ toera dzindza yakulungama ipite,Dzindza yakuti iri na makhaliro adidi.
3 Imwe munadzatsidzikiza ale anakunyindirani na ntima onsene;*Munadzaapasa ntendere wakukhonda mala,+Thangwi iwo asakunyindirani.+
4 Nyindirani Yahova kwenda na kwenda,+Thangwi Yah* Yahova ndi Mwala wakwenda na kwenda.+
5 Thangwi iye acepesa ale anakhala padzulu, nzinda wapadzulu.
Iye autcitisa,Iye augwisa mpaka pantsi;Mbauponya pa pfumbi.
6 Nzinda unoyu unadzapondwaNa miyendo ya anyakutcerenga, na manyalo a anthu akupwazika.”
7 Njira ya munthu wakulungama ndi yadidi.
Nakuti ndiwe wadidi,Unadzasasanyira njira ya munthu wakulungama.
8 Yahova, mu ndzidzi unatowezera ife ulungami wanu,Cidikhiro cathu cisakhala kuna imwe.
Ife tisalemedza kakamwe dzina yanu, pontho tisafuna kuti ikumbukirwe.*
9 Namasiku ndisakusakani na ntima wanga onsene,Inde, ndisapitiriza kukusakani na ntima wanga onsene;+Thangwi imwe mungatonga dziko yapantsi,Anthu anakhala mwenemo* anapfundza kucita pinthu pyadidi.*+
10 Ngakhale nyakuipa abverwe ntsisi,Iye nee anapfundza kucita pinthu pyadidi.*+
Maseze akhale mu dziko yadidi, iye anacita pinthu pyakuipa,+Pontho nee anaona ukulu wa Yahova.+
11 Yahova, imwe mwathukula djanja yanu, mbwenye iwo nee akuiona.+
Anadzaona phinga iri na imwe kuna mbumba yanu, mbapasika manyadzo.
Moto wanu unadzapisa anyamalwa anu.
12 Yahova, imwe munadzatipasa ntendere,+Thangwi ndimwe anatipasa mphambvuToera kucita pyonsene pinacita ife.
13 Yahova Mulungu wathu, kusiyapo imwe ife tatongwa na ambuya anango,+Mbwenye tisasimba dzina yanu basi.+
14 Iwo afa; iwo nee anakhala mʼmaso.
Iwo afa, iwo nee anadzalamukabve.+
Thangwi imwe mwatonga kuafudzaToera anthu akhonde kuakumbukira pontho.
15 Yahova, imwe mwathimizira dzindza,Imwe mwathimizira dzindza;Imwe mwapasika mbiri.+
Imwe mwaikha kutali kakamwe madire onsene a dziko ino.+
16 Yahova, iwo asanyindira imwe mu ndzidzi wa nyatwa;Pidaatcunyusa imwe, iwo acita phembero yakudembetera.+
17 Ninga nkazi wakuti ali na mimba asabva kupha pakubala,Pontho asakhuwa thangwi yakubva kupha angasala pangʼono toera kubala,Ifembo makhaliro athu ali tenepo thangwi ya imwe Yahova.
18 Ife tikhali na mimba, pontho tabva kupha pakubala,Mbwenye pyakhala ninga tabala mphepo.
Ife nee takwanisa kupulumusa dziko,Pontho nkhabe anabalwa toera akhale mu dziko ineyi.
19 “Anthu anu adafa anakhala pontho mʼmaso.
Manungo akufa* a mbumba yanga anadzakhala pontho mʼmaso.+
Lamukani, pontho khuwani mwakutsandzayaImwe munakhala mu pfumbi!+
Thangwi bume yanu yakhala ninga bume inabuluka namacibese,*Pontho mataka anadzacitisa kuti ale adafa akhale pontho mʼmaso.
20 Mbumba yanga, pitani mʼmakwartu mwanu,Pontho fungani misuwo.+
Bisalani mu ndzidzi wakucepa,Mpaka kuipirwa kwa Mulungu kumale.+
21 Thangwi onani! Yahova akubwera bulukira pa mbuto yaceToera kutonga anthu anakhala mu dziko ineyi thangwi ya pyakuipa pyawo,Toera dziko ipangize pakweca ciropa cidawazika mwenemo,Pontho toera ikhonde kuikha anthu ace adafa.”
