Isaiah 34
1 Come near, ye nations, to hear. And hearken, ye peoples. Let the earth hear, and the fullness thereof, the world, and all things that come forth from it.
Njooni karibu enyi mataifa, sikilizeni na muwe makini, enyi watu! Dunia na vyote vijazavyo vinatakiwa kusikiliza, dunia na vyote vitokavyo,
2 For Jehovah has indignation against all the nations, and wrath against all their host. He has utterly destroyed them. He has delivered them to the slaughter.
Maana Yahwe ana hasira na mataifa yote, ana hasira dhidi ya majeshi yao; amewaangamiza wao kabisa, ameawakabidhi kwa wachinjaji.
3 Their slain also shall be cast out. And the stench of their dead bodies shall come up, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
Miili ya watu wao waliokufa itatupwa nje. Harufu ya miili iliyokffa itakuwa kila mahali; na mlilima italowekwa kwa damu yao.
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll. And all their host shall fade away as the leaf fades from off the vine, and as a fading leaf from the fig tree.
Nyota zote angani zitafifia, na anga litakunjwa kama kitabu; na nyota zake zitafifia mbali, kama tawi linavyonyauka kwenye mzabibu, kama tunda lilokomaa kwenye mti.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in heaven. Behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
Maana pale upanga wangu utakapokunywa na kushiba mbinguni; tazama, maana sasa utakuja chini huko Edomu, kwa watu ambao nimewaweka mbali na adhabu.
6 The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood. It is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams, for Jehovah has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Upanga wa Yahwe unadondosha matone ya damu na kufunikwa kwa mafuta, matone ya damu ya kondoo na mbuzi, yamefunikwa kwa figo za kondoo. Maana Yahwe ametoa sadaka katika Bozra na mauwaji katika nchi ya Edomu.
7 And the wild oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls. And their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
Ng'ombe wa porini watachinjwa pamoja na wao, fahali wakubwa na fahali wadogo. Nchi yao italewa kwa damu, na mavumbi yake yatafanjwa kuwa mafuta na mafuta yaliyonona.
8 For Jehovah has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
Maana itakuwa ni siku ya kisasi kwa Yahwe na mwaka ambao anawalipa kwa sababu ya Sayuni.
9 And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch, and the dust of it into brimstone. And the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
Mifereji ya Edomu itageuka kuwa lami, na mavumbi yake yatakuwa kiberiti na nchi itakuwa kama lami inayoungua.
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day. The smoke of it shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste. None shall pass through it forever and ever.
Itaungua usiku na mchana; moshi wake utatoka daima; na patakuwa nyika kizazi hata kizazi; na hakuna hata mmoja atakayepita hapo milele na milele.
11 But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it. And the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And he will stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness.
Lakini ndege na wanyama porini wataishi pale; bundi na kunguru watatengeneza viota vyao pale. Atanjoosha juu yake futi kamba ya uharibifu na pima maji ya uharibifu.
12 They shall call the nobles of it to the kingdom, but none shall be there. And all its rulers shall be nothing.
Wenye vyeo hawatakuwa na kitu kilichobakia kuita ufalme, na wakuu wote watakuwa si kitu.
13 And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in the fortresses of it. And it shall be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
Miiba itaota katika maeneo yao, viwavi na mbigiri vitakuwa katika ngome zao. Yatakuwa makao ya mbweha, makazi ya mbuni.
14 And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves. And the wild goat shall cry to his fellow. Yea, the screech owl shall settle there, and shall find her a place of rest.
Wanyama wa porini na fisi watakusanyika pale, na mbuzi wa porini watalia wao kwa wao. Nyakati za usiku wanyama watakaa pale na watajitafutia wenywe mahali pa kupumzikia.
15 There the dart-snake shall make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shade. Yea, there the vultures shall be gathered, each one with her mate.
Bundi watatengeneza viota vyao, na kutotolea mayai yao, kila mmoja na mwenzake.
16 Seek ye out of the book of Jehovah, and read. No one of these shall be missing. None shall want her mate. For my mouth, it has commanded, and his Spirit, it has gathered them.
Kutafuta kupitia kitabu cha Yahwe; hakuna hata kimoja ambacho hakitakuwepo. Hakuna kitakacho kosa mwenzake; maana mdoma wake umeamuru hivyo, roho yake imewakusanya wao.
17 And he has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them by line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they shall dwell therein.
Atapiga kura katika eneo lao, na mkono wake umewapima kwa kamba. Wataimiliki daima; kutoka kizazi hata kizazi wataishi pale.
