Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero
Tsoka kwa Efereimu
28 Tsoka ufumu wonyada wa zidakwa za ku Efereimu.
Tsoka kwa ulemerero wake wokongola umene ukufota ngati duwa
limene lili pa mutu pa anthu
oledzera a mʼchigwa chachonde.
2 Taonani, ambuye ali naye wina wamphamvu ndi nyonga.
Iye adzabwera ngati mkuntho wamatalala ndi namondwe wowononga,
ngati madzi amphamvu osefukira a mvula yamkuntho;
ndipo adzawagwetsa pansi mwankhanza.
3 Ulamuliro wa atsogoleri oledzera
a ku Efereimu adzawuthetsa.
4 Ndipo ulemerero wokongola wa mzinda umene uli ngati duwa
lofota pamutu pa anthu oledzera a mʼchigwa chachonde uja,
udzakhala ngati nkhuyu yoyambirira kupsa
imene munthu akangoyiona amayithyola
nthawi yokolola isanakwane.
5 Tsiku limenelo Yehova Wamphamvuzonse

chipewa chokongola
kwa anthu ake otsala.
6 Iye adzapereka mtima
wachilungamo kwa oweruza,

7 Nawonso awa ali dzandidzandi chifukwa cha vinyo
ndipo akusochera chifukwa cha mowa:
ansembe ndi aneneri akudzandira chifukwa cha mowa
ndipo akusokonezeka chifukwa cha vinyo;
akusochera chifukwa cha mowa,
akudzandira pamene akuona masomphenya,
kupunthwa pamene akupereka chigamulo.
8 Pa matebulo onse pali masanzi okhaokha
ndipo palibenso malo wopanda zonyansa.
9 Iwo akuti, “Kodi munthu ameneyu akufuna aphunzitse ndani?
Uthengawu akufuna kufotokozera yani?
Ndi kwa ana amene aleka kuyamwa,
kwa makanda ongowachotsa kumene ku bere?
10 Akuyesa kumatiphunzitsa pangʼonopangʼono
lemba ndi lemba, mzere ndi mzere,
phunziro ndi phunziro.
Zonsezi akungoti apa pangʼono apa pangʼono.”
11 Mulungu adzayankhula kwa anthu ake kudzera mwa anthu aziyankhulo zachilendo, ziyankhulo zosamveka bwino.
Mulungu adzayankhula kwa anthu awa, amene
12 anakuwuzani kuti,
“Malo opumulira ndi ano,
otopa apumule, malo owusira ndi ano.”
Koma inu simunamvere.
13 Choncho Yehova adzakuphunzitsani
pangʼonopangʼono lemba ndi lemba,
mzere ndi mzere, phunziro ndi phunziro.
Kotero mudzayenda ndi kugwa chambuyo,
adzapweteka ndi kukodwa mu msampha
ndipo adzakutengani ku ukapolo.
14 Nʼchifukwa chake imvani mawu a Yehova,
inu anthu achipongwe amene mumalamulira anthu awa mu Yerusalemu.
15 Inu mumayankhula monyada kuti, “Ife tinachita pangano ndi imfa,
ife tachita mgwirizano ndi manda.
Pamene mliri woopsa ukadzafika
sudzatikhudza ife,
chifukwa timadalira bodza ngati pothawirapo pathu
ndi chinyengo ngati malo anthu obisalapo.”
16 Tsono zimene Ambuye Yehova akunena ndi izi:
“Taonani, ndikuyika mwala wovomerezeka ndi amisiri
ngati maziko mu Ziyoni,
mwala wapangodya, wamtengowapatali wopanga maziko amphamvu;
munthu amene awukhulupirira sadzagwedezeka.
17 Ntchito zolungama zidzakhala ngati chingwe choyezera maziko ake,
ndipo chilungamo chidzakhala chowongolera mzere;
matalala adzawononga malo anu othawirapo, amene ndi mabodza,
ndipo madzi adzamiza malo anu obisalako.
18 Pangano limene munachita ndi imfa lidzathetsedwa;
mgwirizano wanu ndi manda udzachotsedwa.
Pakuti mliri woopsa udzafika,
ndipo udzakugonjetsani.
19 Ndipo ukadzangofika udzakutengani.
Udzafika mmawa uliwonse,
usiku ndi usana.”
Anthu akadzamvetsetsa uthenga umenewu
adzaopsedwa kwambiri.
20 Mudzakhala ngati munthu wogona pa bedi lalifupi kwambiri kuti sangathe kutambalitsapo miyendo;
ndiponso mudzakhala ngati munthu amene wafunda bulangeti lochepa kwambiri kuti sangathe nʼkufunda komwe.
21 Yehova adzamenya nkhondo monga anachitira ku phiri la Perazimu
adzakalipa monga anachitira ku chigwa cha Gibiyoni;
adzagwira ntchito yake yooneka ngati yachilendo,
ndipo zimene ati adzachite zidzakhala ngati zodabwitsa.
22 Tsopano lekani kunyoza,
mukapanda kutero maunyolo anu adzakuthinani kwambiri;
Ambuye, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wandiwuza kuti,
“Ndagamula kuti ndidzawononga dziko lapansi.”
23 Tcherani khutu ndipo mumve mawu anga;
mvetserani ndipo mumve zimene ndikunena.
24 Kodi mlimi wofuna kudzala mbewu amangokhalira kutipula kokhakokha?
Kodi amangokhalira kugawula ndi kugalawuza kokhakokha?
25 Pamene iye wasalaza mundawo,
kodi samafesa mawere ndi chitowe?
Kodi suja samadzala tirigu
ndi barele mʼmizere yake,
nadzala mchewere mʼphepete mwa mundawo?
26 Mulungu wake amamulangiza
ndi kumuphunzitsa njira yabwino.
27 Mawere sapunthira chopunthira cha galeta lopanda mikombero,
kapena chitowe sapuntha popondetsapo mikombero ya galeta;
mawere amapuntha ndi ndodo
ndipo chitowe amapuntha ndi kamtengo.
28 Tirigu ayenera kusinjidwa kuti apangire buledi,
komabe munthu samangokhalira kupuntha tiriguyo osalekeza, kuopa kuti angatekedzeke.
Ngakhale kuti amapuntha tiriguyo poyendetsapo mikombero ya galeta,
koma akavalo ake satekedza tiriguyo.
29 Izinso zimachokera kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse,
wa uphungu wodabwitsa ndi wa nzeru zopambana.
Isaiah 28
New International Version
Isaiah 28
New International Version
Woe to the Leaders of Ephraim and Judah
28 Woe(A) to that wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(B) drunkards,
to the fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley(C)—
to that city, the pride of those laid low by wine!(D)
2 See, the Lord has one who is powerful(E) and strong.
Like a hailstorm(F) and a destructive wind,(G)
like a driving rain and a flooding(H) downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
3 That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(I) drunkards,
will be trampled(J) underfoot.
4 That fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley,(K)
will be like figs(L) ripe before harvest—
as soon as people see them and take them in hand,
they swallow them.
5 In that day(M) the Lord Almighty
will be a glorious(N) crown,(O)
a beautiful wreath
for the remnant(P) of his people.
6 He will be a spirit of justice(Q)
to the one who sits in judgment,(R)
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle(S) at the gate.
7 And these also stagger(T) from wine(U)
and reel(V) from beer:
Priests(W) and prophets(X) stagger from beer
and are befuddled with wine;
they reel from beer,
they stagger when seeing visions,(Y)
they stumble when rendering decisions.
8 All the tables are covered with vomit(Z)
and there is not a spot without filth.
9 “Who is it he is trying to teach?(AA)
To whom is he explaining his message?(AB)
To children weaned(AC) from their milk,(AD)
to those just taken from the breast?
10 For it is:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that[a];
a little here, a little there.(AE)”
11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues(AF)
God will speak to this people,(AG)
12 to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;(AH)
and, “This is the place of repose”—
but they would not listen.
13 So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there(AI)—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured(AJ) and snared and captured.(AK)
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord,(AL) you scoffers(AM)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,(AN)
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(AO)
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie(AP) our refuge
and falsehood[b] our hiding place.(AQ)”
16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,(AR) a tested stone,(AS)
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;(AT)
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.(AU)
17 I will make justice(AV) the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;(AW)
hail(AX) will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow(AY) your hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.(AZ)
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(BA)
you will be beaten down(BB) by it.
19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;(BC)
morning after morning,(BD) by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.(BE)
20 The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.(BF)
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(BG)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(BH)—
to do his work,(BI) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22 Now stop your mocking,(BJ)
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed(BK) against the whole land.(BL)
23 Listen(BM) and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
24 When a farmer plows for planting,(BN) does he plow continually?
Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?
25 When he has leveled the surface,
does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?(BO)
Does he not plant wheat in its place,[c]
barley(BP) in its plot,[d]
and spelt(BQ) in its field?
26 His God instructs him
and teaches(BR) him the right way.
27 Caraway is not threshed(BS) with a sledge,(BT)
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,(BU)
and cumin with a stick.
28 Grain must be ground to make bread;
so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart(BV) may be rolled over it,
but one does not use horses to grind grain.
29 All this also comes from the Lord Almighty,
whose plan is wonderful,(BW)
whose wisdom is magnificent.(BX)

King James Version
28 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
28 Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen.
29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
