Isaiah 62
1 For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
Kwa ajili ya Sayuni sitanyamaza, kwa ajili ya Yerusalemu sitatulia, mpaka haki yake itakapoangaza kama mapambazuko, wokovu wake kama mwanga wa moto.
2 And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory. And thou shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.
Mataifa wataona haki yako, nao wafalme wote wataona utukufu wako; wewe utaitwa kwa jina jipya lile ambalo kinywa cha Bwana kitatamka.
3 Thou shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Utakuwa taji ya fahari mkononi mwa Bwana, taji ya kifalme mkononi mwa Mungu wako.
4 Thou shall no more be termed Forsaken, nor shall thy land any more be termed Desolate. But thou shall be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah, for Jehovah delights in thee, and thy land shall be married.
Hawatakuita tena Aliyeachwa, wala nchi yako kuiita Ukiwa. Bali utaitwa Hefsiba, nayo nchi yako itaitwa Beula, kwa maana Bwana atakufurahia, nayo nchi yako itaolewa.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee. And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
Kama vile kijana aoavyo mwanamwali, ndivyo wanao watakavyokuoa wewe; kama bwana arusi amfurahiavyo bibi arusi wake, ndivyo Mungu wako atakavyokufurahia wewe.
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem. They shall never keep silent day nor night. Ye who are Jehovah's reminders, take ye no rest,
Nimeweka walinzi juu ya kuta zako, ee Yerusalemu, hawatanyamaza mchana wala usiku. Ninyi wenye kumwita Bwana, msitulie,
7 and give him no rest, till he establishes, and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
msimwache apumzike hadi atakapoufanya imara Yerusalemu na kuufanya uwe sifa ya dunia.
8 Jehovah has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies, and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou have labored.
Bwana ameapa kwa mkono wake wa kuume na kwa mkono wake wenye nguvu: “Kamwe sitawapa tena adui zenu nafaka zenu kama chakula chao; kamwe wageni hawatakunywa tena divai mpya ambayo mmeitaabikia,
9 But those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah. And those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
lakini wale waivunao nafaka wataila na kumsifu Bwana, nao wale wakusanyao zabibu watainywa divai yake katika nyua za patakatifu pangu.”
10 Go through, go through the gates. Prepare ye the way of the people. Cast up, cast up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up an ensign for the peoples.
Piteni, piteni katika malango! Tengenezeni njia kwa ajili ya watu. Jengeni, jengeni njia kuu! Ondoeni mawe. Inueni bendera kwa ajili ya mataifa.
11 Behold, Jehovah has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
Bwana ametoa tangazo mpaka miisho ya dunia: “Mwambie Binti Sayuni, ‘Tazama, mwokozi wako anakuja! Tazama ujira wake uko pamoja naye, na malipo yake yanafuatana naye!’”
12 And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah. And thou shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Wataitwa Watu Watakatifu, Waliokombolewa na Bwana; nawe utaitwa Aliyetafutwa, Mji Usioachwa Tena.
