Yesaya 31:1-9
31 Soka ku ŵanthu wo asikiya ku Ijipiti kuti wakaŵawovyi,+Wo athemba mahachi,+Wo athemba magaleta ngankhondu chifukwa chakuti nganandi ukongwa,Ndipuso wo athemba mahachi* ngankhondu chifukwa chakuti nganthazi.
Kweni yiwu atimuthemba cha Mtuŵa waku Isirayeli,Ndipu atimupenja cha Yehova.
2 Kweniso iyu we ndi zeru ndipuso wazengi ndi soka,Ndipu wazamutondeka cha kufiska mazu ngaki.
Wazamusoka kuti walimbani ndi nyumba ya ŵanthu akuchita viheniNdipuso kuti walimbani ndi wo awovya ŵanthu akuchita viheni.+
3 Ayijipiti mbanthu ŵaka, ndi Chiuta cha;Mahachi ngawu ndi nyama, ndi mzimu cha.+
Asani Yehova watambasuwa janja laki,Weyosi yo watiŵawovya wazamuguŵaNdipuso weyosi yo wawovyeka wazamukuwa;
Wosi azamumala pa nyengu yimoza.
4 Pakuti Yehova wandikambiya kuti:
“Nge mo nkharamu yiwulumiya, nkharamu yimana yanthazi, pa nyama yaki,Asani gulu losi la aliska ladanika pamoza kuti lilimbani nayu,Yichita mantha cha chifukwa cha mazu ngawu,Pamwenga kutenthema chifukwa cha chiwawa chawu,Ndimu so Yehova wa mizinda waziyengi kuzichita nkhonduPa Phiri la Ziyoni kweniso pamtunthu waki.
5 Nge viyuni vo vitambasuwa mapapa ngaki, ndimu so Yehova wa mizinda wazamuvikiliya Yerusalemu.+
Iyu wazakumuvikiliya ndi kumutaska.
Iyu wazakumusunga ndi kumuponoska.”
6 “Yimwi Ayisirayeli, weriyani kwaku Yo mwamugarukiya ukongwa.+
7 Pakuti mu zuŵa lo, weyosi waku yimwi wazamukana achiuta ŵaki asiliva ambula fundu ndipuso achiuta ŵaki agolidi ambula ntchitu wo manja nginu ngapanga ndi kukubudisani.
8 Ndipu munthu wa ku Asiriya wazamubayika ndi lipanga, kweni la munthu cha;Ndipuso wazamumezeka ndi lipanga kweni la munthu cha.+
Wazamuthaŵa chifukwa cha lipanga,Ndipu anyamata ŵaki azamugwira ntchitu ya ukapolu.
9 Jalawi laki lazamusoŵa chifukwa cha mantha,Ndipu alongozgi ŵaki azamuchita mantha chifukwa cha polu lachiziŵisu,” Yehova ndiyu wakamba,Yo ukweru* waki we mu Ziyoni ndipuso yo ng’anju yaki ye mu Yerusalemu.
