Esias 34
1 Draw near, you nations; and listen, you princes; let the earth hear, and they that are in it; the world, and the people that are therein.
Njooni karibu enyi mataifa, sikilizeni na muwe makini, enyi watu! Dunia na vyote vijazavyo vinatakiwa kusikiliza, dunia na vyote vitokavyo,
2 For the wrath of the Lord is upon all nations, and [his] anger upon the number of them, to destroy them, and give them up to slaughter.
Maana Yahwe ana hasira na mataifa yote, ana hasira dhidi ya majeshi yao; amewaangamiza wao kabisa, ameawakabidhi kwa wachinjaji.
3 And their slain shall be cast forth, and their corpses; and their [ill] savour shall come up, and the mountains shall be made wet 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 powers of the heavens shall melt, and the sky shall be rolled up like a scroll: and all the stars shall fall like leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a 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 My sword has been made drunk in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and with judgement upon the people doomed to destruction.
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 the Lord is filled with blood, it is glutted with fat, with the blood of goats and lambs, and with the fat of goats and rams: for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bosor, and a great slaughter in Idumea.
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 mighty ones shall fall with them, and the rams and the bulls; and the land shall be soaked with blood, and shall be filled with their fat.
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 it is the day of judgement of the Lord, and the year of the recompence of Sion in judgement.
Maana itakuwa ni siku ya kisasi kwa Yahwe na mwaka ambao anawalipa kwa sababu ya Sayuni.
9 And her valleys shall be turned into pitch, and her land into sulphur; and her land shall be as pitch burning night and day;
Mifereji ya Edomu itageuka kuwa lami, na mavumbi yake yatakuwa kiberiti na nchi itakuwa kama lami inayoungua.
10 and it shall never be quenched, and her smoke shall go up: it shall be made desolate throughout her generations,
Itaungua usiku na mchana; moshi wake utatoka daima; na patakuwa nyika kizazi hata kizazi; na hakuna hata mmoja atakayepita hapo milele na milele.
11 and for a long time birds and hedgehogs, and ibises and ravens shall dwell in it: and the measuring line of desolation shall be cast over it, and satyrs shall dwell in it.
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 Her princes shall be no more; for her kings and her great men shall be destroyed.
Wenye vyeo hawatakuwa na kitu kilichobakia kuita ufalme, na wakuu wote watakuwa si kitu.
13 And thorns shall spring up in their cities, and in her strong holds: and they shall be habitations of monsters, and a court of ostriches.
Miiba itaota katika maeneo yao, viwavi na mbigiri vitakuwa katika ngome zao. Yatakuwa makao ya mbweha, makazi ya mbuni.
14 And devils shall meet with satyrs, and they shall cry one to the other: there shall satyrs rest, having found for themselves [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 has the hedgehog made its nest, and the earth has safely preserved its young: there have the deer met, and seen one another's faces.
Bundi watatengeneza viota vyao, na kutotolea mayai yao, kila mmoja na mwenzake.
16 They passed by in [full] number, and not one of them perished: they sought not one another; for the Lord commanded them, and his Spirit 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 shall cast lots for them, and his hand has portioned out [their] pasture, [saying], You shall inherit [the land] for ever: they shall rest on it [through] all generations.
Atapiga kura katika eneo lao, na mkono wake umewapima kwa kamba. Wataimiliki daima; kutoka kizazi hata kizazi wataishi pale.
