1In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.27.1 piercing: or, crossing like a bar 2In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. 3I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 4Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.27.4 go…: or, march against 5Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. 6He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7¶ Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?27.7 as…: Heb. according to the stroke of 8In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.27.8 it shooteth…: or, thou sendest it forth27.8 he…: or, when he removeth it with 9By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.27.9 images: or, sun images 10Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. 11When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
12¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. 13And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Za Munda Wamphesa wa Yehova
1Tsiku limenelo,
Yehova ndi lupanga lake
lakuthwa, lalikulu ndi lamphamvu,
adzalanga Leviyatani chinjoka chothawa chija,
Leviyatani chinjoka chodzikulunga;
adzapha chirombo choopsa cha mʼnyanja.
2Tsiku limenelo Yehova adzati,
“Tidzayimba nyimbo ya munda wamphesa wobereka bwino:
3Ine, Yehova, ndimawuyangʼanira;
ndimawuthirira nthawi zonse.
Ndimawulondera usana ndi usiku
kuti wina angawononge.
4Ine sindinakwiye.
Ngati mkandankhuku ndi minga zikanaoneka ndikanalimbana nazo!
Ndikachita nazo nkhondo;
ndikanazitentha zonse ndi moto.
5Koma ngati apo ayi, abweretu kwa Ine adani angawo kuti ndidzawateteze;
apangane nane za mtendere,
ndithu, apangane nane za mtendere.”
6Masiku akubwerawo Yakobo adzazika mizu,
Israeli adzaphukira ndi kuchita maluwa,
ndipo adzadzaza dziko lonse lapansi ndi zipatso.
7Kodi Yehova anakantha Israeli
ngati momwe anakanthira anthu amene anazunza Israeli?
Kapena kodi Yehova anapha Israeli
ngati mmene anthu ena anaphera Israeli?
8Yehova mwawalanga powapirikitsa ndi kuwatumiza ku ukapolo,
mwawachotsa ndi mpweya wanu woopsa,
monga zimachitikira pa tsiku la mkuntho wochokera kummawa.
9Yehova adzakhululuka kulakwa kwa Yakobo.
Iwo adzaonetsa kuti alapadi pamene adzaphwanya miyala yonse ya guwa lachikunja,
ngati mmene anthu amaphwanyira miyala yanjereza
mpaka kukhala ngati fumbi lokhalokha.
Sipadzapezekanso mafano a Asera
kapena maguwa ofukiza lubani.
10Mzinda wamalinga uja wasanduka bwinja,
wasanduka malo osiyidwa, ndi kutayidwa ngati chipululu;
kumeneko amadyetselako ana angʼombe
kumeneko zimapumulako ziweto
ndi kumwetula nthambi za mitengo kotheratu.
11Pamene nthambi za mitengoyo zauma, zimathyoka
ndipo amayi amabwera nazitola ndi kuzisandutsa nkhuni.
Pakuti awa ndi anthu opanda nzeru;
kotero Mulungu amene anawapanga sadzachitira chisoni,
ndipo Mlengi wawo sawakomera mtima.
12Tsiku limenelo Yehova adzasonkhanitsa pamodzi anthu ake mmodzimmodzi kumalo opunthira tirigu, kuchokera ku mtsinje wa Yufurate mpaka ku mtsinje wa ku Igupto. 13Ndipo tsiku limenelo lipenga lalikulu lidzalira. Amene akuzunzika ku Asiriya iwo amene ali ku ukapolo ku Igupto adzabwera ndi kudzalambira Yehova pa phiri lopatulika mu Yerusalemu.
