Israeli Wosankhidwa wa Yehova
1Yehova akuti, “Mvera tsopano, iwe Yakobo, mtumiki wanga,
Israeli, amene ndinakusankha.
2Yehova
amene anakupanga iwe, anakuwumba iwe mʼmimba ya amayi ako,
ndi amene adzakuthandiza iwe. Iye akuti,
Usachite mantha, iwe Yakobo, mtumiki wanga,

3Pakuti ndidzathira madzi pa nthaka yowuma,

ndi kutsitsa madalitso anga pa zidzukulu zanu.
4Iwo adzakula ngati udzu wothirira bwino
ndi ngati bango lomera mʼmbali mwa mitsinje ya madzi oyenda.
5Wina adzanena kuti, ‘Ine ndine wa Yehova;’
wina adzadzitcha yekha wa banja la Yakobo;
winanso adzalemba pa dzanja lake, ‘Wa Yehova’
ndipo adzadzitcha wa banja la Israeli.
Yehova, Osati Mafano
6“Yehova Mfumu
ndi Mpulumutsi wa Israeli, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti:
Ine ndine woyamba ndi wotsiriza;
palibenso Mulungu wina koma Ine ndekha.
7Ndani nanga angafanane ndi Ine? Muloleni kuti ayankhule.
Muloleni andifotokozere ndi kundiyalira bwino lomwe
zimene zinachitika kuyambira pamene ndinkakhazikitsa anthu anga akalekale,

inde, muloleni alosere zimene zikubwera.
8Musanjenjemere, musachite mantha.
Kodi sindinakuwuzeni zimenezi ndi kuzilosera kalekale lomwe?
Inu ndinu mboni zanga. Kodi aliponso Mulungu wina kupatula Ine?
Ayi, palibe Thanthwe linanso limene sindikulidziwa.”
9Onse amene amapanga mafano ngachabe,
ndipo milungu imene amayilemekeza ndi yopanda phindu.
Iwo amene amapembedza mafano ndi wosaona;

10Ndani amasema mulungu ndi kuwumba fano,

11Iye pamodzi ndi anzake onse adzawachititsa manyazi;

Aloleni onse asonkhane ndi kuyima pabwalo la milandu;
onse adzaopsedwa ndipo adzachita manyazi.
12Mmisiri wa zitsulo amatenga chitsulo
ndipo amachiyika pa makala amoto;

amachisula pochimenya ndi nyundo.
Pambuyo pake mʼmisiri uja amamva njala natha mphamvu;
iye samwa madzi, ndipo amalefuka.
13Mmisiri wa matabwa nayenso amayeza mtengo ndi chingwe
ndipo amajambula chithunzi ndi cholembera;
amasema bwinobwino ndi chipangizo chake
ndipo amachiwongola bwino ndi chida chake.
Amachipanga ngati munthu,

14Amagwetsa mitengo ya mkungudza,

ndipo amadzala mtengo wa payini ndi kuwuleka kuti ukule ndi mvula.
15Mitengoyo munthu amachitako nkhuni;

Iye amawotha motowo ndipo amanena kuti,
“Aa! Ndikumva kutentha; pano pali moto.”
17Chigawo chotsala amapanga kamulungu, fano lake limenelo;

Amapemphera kwa fanolo ndipo amanena kuti,
“Iwe ndiwe mulungu wanga, ndipulumutse.”
18Anthu otere sadziwa kanthu, samvetsa kanthu kalikonse;
maso awo ndi omatirira ndipo sangathe kuona,
ndipo mitu yawo ndi yogontha kotero sangathe kumvetsa.
19Palibe amene amayima nʼkulingalira.
Palibe wanzeru kapena womvetsa zinthu bwino woti nʼkunena kuti,

“Kodi chinthu chili mʼmanja mwangachi si chabodza?”
21Yehova akuti, “Iwe Yakobo, kumbukira zinthu izi

Ine ndinakupanga iwe, ndiwe mtumiki wanga;
iwe Israeli, sindidzakuyiwala.
22Ndachotsa zolakwa zako ngati mitambo,

Bwerera kwa Ine,

23Imbani mwachimwemwe, inu zolengedwa zamlengalenga, pakuti Yehova wachita zimenezi;

Imbani nyimbo, inu mapiri,
inu nkhalango ndi mitengo yonse,

Anthu Adzakhalanso mu Yerusalemu
24Yehova Mpulumutsi wanu, amene
anakuwumbani mʼmimba ya amayi anu akuti:
“Ine ndine Yehova,
amene anapanga zinthu zonse,
ndinatambasula ndekha zinthu zakuthambo,
ndinayala ndekha dziko lapansi.
25Ndine amene ndinalepheretsa mipingo ya anthu onyenga,
ndipo ndimapusitsa owombeza mawula.
Ndimasokoneza anthu a nzeru,
ndi kuonetsa kuti nzeru zawo nʼzopusa.
26Ndine amene ndimatsimikiza mawu a atumiki ake
ndi kukwaniritsa zimene analosera amithenga ake.
“Ndine amene ndinanena za Yerusalemu kuti mudzakhalanso anthu.
Ndinanenanso za mizinda ya Yuda kuti idzamangidwanso.
Za mabwinja awo ndinanena kuti ndidzawawutsanso.
27Ndine amene ndinawuza nyanga yayikulu kuti, ‘Uma’
ndipo ndidzawumitsa mitsinje yako.
28Ndine amene ndinanena kwa Koresi kuti, ‘Iye ndiye mʼbusa wanga,’
ndipo adzachita zonse zimene ndikufuna;
iye adzalamula kuti, ‘Yerusalemu amangidwenso’
ndi kuti, ‘Maziko a Nyumba ya Mulungu ayikidwenso.’ ”
