Esias 25
1 O Lord God, I will glorify thee, I will sing to thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, [even] an ancient [and] faithful counsel. So be it.
Ee Bwana, wewe ni Mungu wangu, nitakutukuza na kulisifu jina lako, kwa maana katika ukamilifu wa uaminifu umetenda mambo ya ajabu, mambo yaliyokusudiwa tangu zamani.
2 For thou hast made cities a heap, [even] cities [made] strong that their foundations should not fall: the city of ungodly men shall not be built for ever.
Umeufanya mji kuwa lundo la kifusi, mji wenye ngome kuwa magofu, ngome imara ya wageni kuwa si mji tena, wala hautajengwa tena kamwe.
3 Therefore shall the poor people bless thee, and cities of injured men shall bless thee.
Kwa hiyo mataifa yenye nguvu yatakuheshimu, miji ya mataifa katili itakuheshimu wewe.
4 For thou hast been a helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty: thou shalt deliver them from wicked men: [thou hast been] a shelter of them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men.
Umekuwa kimbilio la watu maskini, kimbilio la mhitaji katika taabu yake, hifadhi wakati wa dhoruba na kivuli wakati wa hari. Kwa maana pumzi ya wakatili ni kama dhoruba ipigayo ukuta
5 [We were] as faint-hearted men thirsting in Sion, by reason of ungodly men to whom thou didst deliver us.
na kama joto la jangwani. Wewe wanyamazisha makelele ya wageni; kama vile hari ipunguzwavyo na kivuli cha wingu, ndivyo wimbo wa wakatili unyamazishwavyo.
6 And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine:
Juu ya mlima huu Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote ataandaa karamu ya vinono kwa mataifa yote, karamu ya mvinyo wa zamani, nyama nzuri sana na divai zilizo bora sana.
7 they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart thou all these things to the nations; for this is [God's] counsel upon all the nations.
Juu ya mlima huu ataharibu sitara ihifadhiyo mataifa yote, kile kifuniko kifunikacho mataifa yote,
8 Death has prevailed and swallowed [men] up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of [his] people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
yeye atameza mauti milele. Bwana Mwenyezi atafuta machozi katika nyuso zote; ataondoa aibu ya watu wake duniani kote. Bwana amesema hili.
9 And in that day they shall say, behold our God in whom we have trusted, and he shall save us: this [is] the Lord; we have waited for him, and we have exulted, and will rejoice in our salvation.
Katika siku ile watasema, “Hakika huyu ndiye Mungu wetu; tulimtumaini, naye akatuokoa. Huyu ndiye Bwana, tuliyemtumaini; sisi tushangilie na kufurahia katika wokovu wake.”
10 God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with waggons.
Mkono wa Bwana utatulia juu ya mlima huu, bali Moabu atakanyagwa chini kama majani makavu yakanyagwavyo kwenye shimo la mbolea.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands, even as he also brings down [man] to destroy [him]: and he shall bring low his pride [in regard to the thing] on which he has laid his hands.
Watakunjua mikono yao katikati yake, kama vile mwogeleaji akunjuavyo mikono yake ili aogelee. Mungu atashusha kiburi chao licha ya ujanja wa mikono yao.
12 And he shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down even to the ground.
Atabomoa kuta ndefu za maboma yako na kuziangusha chini, atazishusha chini ardhini, mpaka mavumbini kabisa.
