“Pitiriza tsono kukhala ndi matsenga ako,

Mwina udzatha kupambana
kapena kuopsezera nazo adani ako.
Malangizo onse amene unalandira angokutopetsa basi!
Abwere patsogolopa anthu amene amatanthauzira za kumwamba kuti adzakupulumutseni.
Abwere amene amayangʼana nyenyezi, ndi kumalosera mwezi ndi mwezi

Ndithudi, anthuwo ali ngati phesi;

Sangathe kudzipulumutsa okha

Awa si makala a moto woti wina nʼkuwotha;
kapena moto woti wina nʼkuwukhalira pafupi.
Umu ndi mmene adzachitire amatsenga,

ndi kuchita nawo malonda chiyambire cha ubwana wako.
Onse adzamwazika ndi mantha,
sipadzakhala ndi mmodzi yemwe wokupulumutsa.”

Inu munamva zinthu zimenezi.
Kodi inu simungazivomereze?
“Kuyambira tsopano mpaka mʼtsogolo ndidzakuwuzani zinthu zatsopano
zinthu zobisika zimene simunazidziwe konse.
Zinthu zimenezi zikulengedwa tsopano lino, osati kalekale;

Choncho inu simunganene kuti,

Ndikukulezerani ukali wanga kuti anthu andilemekeze.
Sindidzakuwonongani kotheratu.
Taonani, ndinakuyeretsani ngati siliva;
ndinakuyesani mʼngʼanjo yamasautso.
Chifukwa cha ulemu wanga, chifukwa cha ulemu wanga Ine ndikuchita zimenezi.
Ndingalole bwanji kuti ndinyozeke?
Ulemerero wanga sindidzawupereka kwa wina.
Kumasulidwa kwa Israeli
“Tamvera Ine, iwe Yakobo,
Israeli, amene ndinakuyitana:
Mulungu uja Woyamba
ndi Wotsiriza ndine.
Inde dzanja langa linamanga maziko a dziko lapansi,
dzanja langa lamanja linafunyulula mlengalenga.
Ndi mawu anga ndinalenga kumwamba
ndi dziko lapansi.
“Sonkhanani pamodzi inu nonse ndipo mvetserani:
Ndani mwa mafano anu amene analoseratu za zinthu izi?
Wokondedwa wa Yehova uja adzachita
zomwe Iye anakonzera Babuloni;
dzanja lake lidzalimbana ndi Kaldeya.
Ine, Inetu, ndayankhula;

“Bwerani pafupi ndipo mvetserani izi:
“Kuyambira pachiyambi sindinayankhule mobisa;
pa nthawi imene zinkachitika zimenezi Ine ndinali pomwepo.”
Ndipo tsopano Ambuye Yehova wandipatsa Mzimu wake
ndi kundituma.
Yehova, Mpulumutsi wanu,
Woyerayo wa Israeli akuti,
“Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu,
amene ndimakuphunzitsa kuti upindule,
ndimakutsogolera pa njira yoyenera kuyitsata.
Ngati iwe ukanangosamalira zolamulira zanga,
bwenzi mtendere wako ukanakhala ngati mtsinje,
ndi chipulumutso chako ngati mafunde a pa nyanja.
Zidzukulu zako zikanachuluka ngati mchenga,
ana ako akanachuluka ngati fumbi;
dzina lawo silikanachotsedwa pamaso panga
ndipo silikanafafanizidwa konse.”
Tulukani mʼdziko la Babuloni!
Thawani dziko la Kaldeya!
Lengezani zimenezi ndi mawu a chisangalalo
ndipo muzilalikire
mpaka kumathero a dziko lapansi;
muzinena kuti, “Yehova wawombola Yakobo mtumiki wake.”
Iwo sanamve ludzu pamene Yehova ankawatsogolera mʼchipululu;
anawapatsa madzi otuluka mʼthanthwe;
anangʼamba thanthwelo ndipo
munatuluka madzi.
“Palibe mtendere kwa anthu ochimwa,” akutero Yehova.
Yesaya 49:1-7
Mtumiki wa Yehova
Mverani Ine, inu anthu a pa zilumba
tcherani khutu, inu anthu a mayiko akutali:
Yehova anandiyitana ine ndisanabadwe,
ananditchula dzina ndili mʼmimba ya amayi anga.

Iye anandisandutsa ngati muvi wakuthwa
ndipo anandibisa mʼchimake.
Iye anati kwa ine, “Ndiwe mtumiki wanga, Israeli.
Anthu adzanditamanda chifukwa cha iwe.”
Koma Ine ndinati, “Ine ndinkaganiza kuti ndinagwira ntchito
ndi kuwononga mphamvu zanga pachabe,
koma ayi, zondiyenera zili mʼmanja a Yehova,
ndipo mphotho yanga ili mʼmanja mwa Mulungu wanga.”
Yehova anandiwumba ine
mʼmimba mwa amayi anga kuti ndikhale mtumiki wake
kuti ndibweze fuko la Yakobo kwa Iye
ndi kusonkhanitsa Israeli kwa Iye,
choncho ndimalemekezeka mʼmaso mwa Yehova,
ndipo ndimapeza mphamvu mwa Mulungu wanga.
Yehovayo tsono akuti,
“Nʼchinthu chochepa kwambiri kwa iwe kuti ukhale mtumiki wanga,
kuti udzutse mafuko a Yakobo
ndi kuwabweretsa kwawo Aisraeli amene anapulumuka.
Choncho iwe udzakhala ngati chowunikira,
udzafikitsa uthenga wa chipulumutso changa ku mathero a dziko lapansi.”
Yehova Mpulumutsi ndi Woyerayo wa Israeli akuyankhula,
Woyerayo wa Israeli akunena,
amene mitundu ya anthu inamuda,
amenenso anali kapolo wa mafumu ankhanza uja kuti,
“Mafumu adzaona ntchito ya chipulumutso changa ndipo adzayimirira.
Akalonga nawonso adzagwada pansi.
Zimenezi zidzachitika chifukwa cha Yehova amene ndi wokhulupirika
ndi Woyerayo wa Israeli amene wakusankha iwe.”
