Yesaya 31:1-9
31 Soka ku awo ŵakukhilira ku Eguputo kupenja wovwiri,+Awo ŵakuthemba mahachi,+Awo ŵakugomezga magileta ghankhondo, chifukwa chakuti nganandi,Na mahachi ghankhondo* chifukwa ngankhongono.
Kweni ŵakulaŵiska chara kwa Mutuŵa wa Israyeli,Ndipo ŵakupenja yayi Yehova.
2 Kweni iyo ngwavinjeru ndipo wizenge na soka,Wawezgenge chara mazgu ghake.
Wimikanenge na nyumba ya ŵakuchita viheniNa kwimikana na awo ŵakovwira ŵaheni.+
3 Ŵaeguputo mbanthu waka, iwo ni Chiuta yayi.Mahachi ghawo ni nyama, mzimu chara.+
Para Yehova wanyoloska woko lake,Waliyose uyo wakuŵawovwira wakhuŵarengeNdipo waliyose uyo wakovwirika wawenge.Wose ŵaparanyikirenge nyengo yimoza.
4 Pakuti Yehova wakati kwa ine:
“Nga umo nkhalamu yikubangulira, kankhalamu kankhongono, pa nyama yake,Para chiwuru chose cha ŵaliska chachemekera pamoza kwimikana nayo,Yikopa chara mazgu ghawoPanji kutenthema na kupoma kwawo,Ntheura ndimo Yehova wa mawumba wakhilirenge na kurwa nkhondoPa Phiri la Ziyoni na pa kaphiri kake.
5 Nga ntchiyuni icho chati mapapindo vwaŵa, Yehova wa mawumba nayo wavikilirenge Yerusalemu.+
Wamuvikilirenge na kumuponoska.
Wamusungilirenge na kumuthaska.”
6 “Welerani kwa uyo mwamugalukira, imwe ŵanthu ŵa Israyeli.+
7 Pakuti mu zuŵa ilo, waliyose wazamukana ŵachiuta ŵake ŵawakawaka ŵasiliva na ŵachiuta ŵake ŵambura ntchito ŵagolide, ivyo mawoko ghinu ghakapanga na kumunangiskani.
8 Muasiriya wazamuwa na lupanga, lwa munthu chara,Ndipo wazamumilimitizgika na lupanga,+ kweni lwa munthu chara.
Wazamuchimbira chifukwa cha lupanga,Ndipo ŵanyamata ŵake ŵazamukoleka wuzga.
9 Jalawe lake lizamufumapo chifukwa cha kutenthema,Ŵakaronga ŵake ŵazamuchita wofi chifukwa cha chimanyikwiro,” wakuti Yehova,Uyo ungweru* wake uli mu Ziyoni, uyo ng’anjo yake yili mu Yerusalemu.
