Esias 62
1 For Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as light, and my salvation burn as a torch.
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 Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and kings thy glory: and one shall call thee [by] a new name, which the Lord shall name.
Mataifa wataona haki yako, nao wafalme wote wataona utukufu wako; wewe utaitwa kwa jina jipya lile ambalo kinywa cha Bwana kitatamka.
3 And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, 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 And thou shalt no more be called Forsaken; and thy land shall no more be called Desert: for thou shalt be called My Pleasure, and thy land Inhabited: for the Lord has taken pleasure in thee, and thy land shall be inhabited.
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 And as a young man lives with a virgin, so shall thy sons dwell in [thee]: and it shall come to pass [that] as a bridegroom will rejoice over a bride, so will the Lord 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 And on thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I set watchmen all day and all night, who shall never cease making mention of the Lord.
Nimeweka walinzi juu ya kuta zako, ee Yerusalemu, hawatanyamaza mchana wala usiku. Ninyi wenye kumwita Bwana, msitulie,
7 For there is none like you, when he shall have established, and made Jerusalem a praise on the earth.
msimwache apumzike hadi atakapoufanya imara Yerusalemu na kuufanya uwe sifa ya dunia.
8 For the Lord has sworn by his glory, and by the might of his arm, I will no more give thy corn and thy provisions to thine enemies; nor shall strangers any more drink thy wine, for which thou has laboured.
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 they that have gathered them shall eat them, and they shall praise the Lord; and they that have gathered [the grapes] shall drink thereof in my holy courts.
lakini wale waivunao nafaka wataila na kumsifu Bwana, nao wale wakusanyao zabibu watainywa divai yake katika nyua za patakatifu pangu.”
10 Go through my gates, and make a way for my people; and cast the stones out of the way; lift up a standard for the Gentiles.
Piteni, piteni katika malango! Tengenezeni njia kwa ajili ya watu. Jengeni, jengeni njia kuu! Ondoeni mawe. Inueni bendera kwa ajili ya mataifa.
11 For behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth, say ye to the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy Saviour has come to thee, having his reward and his work before his face.
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 one shall call them the holy people, the redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called a city sought out, and not forsaken.
Wataitwa Watu Watakatifu, Waliokombolewa na Bwana; nawe utaitwa Aliyetafutwa, Mji Usioachwa Tena.
