1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
4¶ And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. 5And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 6But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7¶ For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. 8For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
10I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.61.10 decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest 11For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Uthenga Wabwino wa Yehova
1Mzimu wa Ambuye Yehova uli pa ine,
chifukwa Yehova wandidzoza
kuti ndilalikire uthenga wabwino kwa anthu osauka.
Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze anthu osweka mtima,
ndikalengeze kwa akapolo kuti alandire ufulu
ndiponso kuti ndikamasule a mʼndende.
2Wandituma kuti ndikalengeze nthawi imene Yehova adzapulumutsa anthu ake;
za tsiku limene Yehova adzalanga adani a anthu ake.
Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze olira.
3Wandituma kuti ndiwakonzere olira a ku Ziyoni,
nkhata ya maluwa yokongola
mʼmalo mwa phulusa,
ndiwapatse mafuta achikondwerero
mʼmalo mwa kulira.
Ndiwapatse chovala cha matamando
mʼmalo mwa mtima wopsinjika.
Ndipo iwo adzatchedwa mitengo ya thundu yamphamvu yachilungamo,
yoyidzala Yehova
kuti Iye mwini apezemo ulemerero wake.
4Adzamanganso mabwinja akale a mzinda
ndipo malo amene anawonongeka kalekale aja adzakonzanso.
Adzakonzanso mizinda imene inapasuka,
imene yakhala yowonongeka kwa nthawi yayitali kwambiri.
5Anthu achilendo adzakutumikirani; adzazidyetsa ziweto zanu;
iwo adzagwira ntchito mʼminda yanu ya mpesa.
6Ndipo inu mudzatchedwa ansembe a Yehova,
adzakutchulani kuti ndinu atumiki a Mulungu wathu.
Mudzadyerera chuma cha mitundu ya anthu,
ndipo mudzanyadira ulemu umene mwalandira.
7Chifukwa manyazi awo anali owirikiza;
ndi kuti munalandira
chitonzo ndi kutukwana,
adzakondwera ndi cholowa chawo,
tsono adzalandira cholowa chawo cha chigawo cha dziko mowirikiza,
ndipo chimwemwe chamuyaya chidzakhala chawo.
8“Pakuti Ine Yehova, ndimakonda chilungamo;
ndimadana ndi zakuba ndi zoyipa.
Anthu anga ndidzawapatsa mphotho mokhulupirika
ndikupangana nawo pangano losatha.
9Ana awo adzakhala odziwika pakati pa mitundu ya anthu
ndipo adzukulu awo adzakhala otchuka pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.
Aliyense wowaona adzazindikira
kuti ndi anthu amene Yehova wawadalitsa.”
10Ine ndikusangalala kwambiri chifukwa cha Yehova;
moyo wanga ukukondwera chifukwa cha Mulungu wanga.
Pakuti Iye wandiveka zovala zachipulumutso,
ndipo wandiveka mkanjo wachilungamo.
Zili ngati mkwati wovala nkhata ya maluwa mʼkhosi mwake,
ndiponso ngati mkwatibwi wovala mikanda yamtengowapatali.
11Monga momwe nthaka imameretsa mbewu
ndiponso monga munda umakulitsa mbewu zimene anadzala,
momwemonso Ambuye Yehova adzaonetsa chilungamo ndi matamando
pamaso pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.
