Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, so that I may subjugate the nations before his face, and I may turn the backs of kings, and I may open the doors before him, and so that the gates will not be shut.
Yahwe asema hivi kwa mapakwa mafuta, kwa Koreshi, niliyemshika kwa mkono wa kuume, illi niweze kuangamiza mataifa mbele yake, kuwalinda wafalme, kufunguo milango mbele yao, ili lango liwe wazi:
2 I will go before you. And I will humble the glorious ones of the earth. I will shatter the gates of brass, and I will break apart the bars of iron.
''Nitakwenda mbele yako na kusawazisha milima; nitavunjavunja vipandevivande milango ya shaba na kukuta vipandevipande nguzo za chuma,
3 And I will give you hidden treasures and the knowledge of secret things, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls your name.
Nitakupa hazina iliyo gizani na utajiri uliofichwa mbali, ili ujue kwamba ni mimi Yahwe, niliyekuita kwa jina lako, Mimi, Mungu wa Israeli.
4 For the sake of Jacob, my servant, and Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, and you have not known me.
Kwa niaba ya Jakobo mtumishi wangu, na Israeli chaguo langu, Nimekuita wewe kwa jina lako: nimekupa heshima iliyotukuka, jabo hakunijua mimi.
5 I am the Lord, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, and you have not known me.
Mimi ni Yahwe na hapana mwingine; hakuna Mungu ila mimi. Nitakuimarisha katika vita, japo hamkunifamu mimi;
6 So may those who are from the rising of the sun, and those who are from its setting, know that there is no one beside me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
kwamba watu wajue kutoka mapambazuko ya jua, na kutoka magharibi, kwamba hakuna mungu mwngine ila mimi: Mimi ni Yahwe, na hakuna mwingine.
7 I form the light and create the darkness. I make peace and create disaster. I, the Lord, do all these things.
Nimefanya mwanga na nimeumba giza; Ninanateta amani na ninaumba majanga; Mimi Yahwe, nifanyae haya yote.
8 Send down dew from above, O heavens, and let the clouds rain down upon the just! Let the earth open and spring forth a savior! And let justice rise up at once! I, the Lord, have created him.
Enyi mbingu, nyesha kutoka juu! Acha anga lishushe chini haki, na acha nchi inyonje haki, ili wokovu uweze kuchipukia juu, na haki kutawanyika kwa pamoja. Mimi Yahwe nimewumba wote kwa pamoja.
9 Woe to him who contradicts his Maker, a mere shard from an earthen vessel! Should the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” or, “Your work is not made by your hands?”
Ole kwa yeyote anayesema kwa yule aliyemfanya yeye, kwake yeye ni kama chungu cha udongo miongoni mwa vyingu vya udongo katika aridhi! Je udongo umwambia mfinyanzi, 'Unatengeneza nini? au ' Kazi yako haina kitu cha kushika?
10 Woe to him who says to his father, “Why did you conceive?” or to a woman, “Why did you give birth?”
Ole wake asemae kwa baba, 'Unanizaa nini? au kwa mwanamke, 'unanizaa mimi nin?'
11 Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Would you question me about the future, concerning my sons, and command me concerning the work of my hands?
Yahwe asema hivi, yeye aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli, muumbaji wake: 'Kwa nini unauliza swali kuhusu nini nitakacho kifanya kwa watoto wangu? Je unaweza kuniambia kuuhusiana na kazi ya mikono yangu?
12 I made the earth, and I created man upon it. My hand stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their hosts.
Nimeifanya nchi na kuumba mtu juu yake. Ni mkono yangu mimi nilioinyoosha ju ya mbingu, na nikazimuru nyota zote kutokea.
13 I have raised him up unto justice, and I will direct all his ways. He himself will build my city and release my captives, but not for ransom or gifts, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
Nimemuinua Keroshi juu katika haki yangu, na nitalainisha njia zake zote. Ataujenga mji wangu kwa upya; atawachia walioko uhamishoni kurudi nyumbani kwao, na so kwa pesa wala kwa rushwa,'' asema Yahwe wa majeshi.
14 Thus says the Lord: The labor of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: “In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.
Yahwe asema hivi, mapato ya Misri na bidhaa ya Ethiopia pamoja na Waseba jamii ya watu werefu, tatawaleta kwenu. Watakuwa wa kwenu. Watafuata baada yenu, watakuja na minyororo. Watakuinamia chini na kukuomba huku wakisema, 'Hakika Mungu yuko pamoja na wewe na hakuna mwingine ila yeye.''
15 Truly, you are a hidden God, the God of Israel, the Savior.”
Hakika mna Mungu aliyejifisha ndani yenu, Mungu wa Israeli, Mkombozi.
16 They have all been confounded and should be ashamed! These fabricators of errors have departed together into confusion!
Wote wataabishwa na kuzaraliwa kwa pamoja; wale wachongao sanamu watatembea katika udhalilishaji.
17 Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation. You will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.
Lakini Israeli itakombolewa na Yahwe kawa wokovu wa milele; na wala hautaabika tena au kudhalilishwa.
18 For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it. He did not create it to no purpose. He formed it so that it would be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
Yahwe asem hivi, nani aliyeziumba mbingu, Mungu wa kweli ndiye aliyeiumbwa nchi na kuifaya, ndiye aliyeianzisha nchi. Aliiumba yeye, sio kama taka, aliimba ili pawe na wenyeji: ''mimi ni Yahwe, na hakuna mwingine.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.
Sijaongea katika siri, katika maeneo ya siri; Sijauambia ukoo wa Daudi, 'Nitafute bure! Mimi ni Yahwe ninayezungumza ukweli; Ninatangaza vitu vilivyo vya kweli.
20 Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, you who have been saved among the Gentiles. They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, and who petition a god unable to save.
Jikusanjeni wenyewe na mje! kusanyikeni kwa pamoja, enyi wakimbizi kutoka miongoni mwa mataifa! Hawana maarifa, wale wanaobeba sanamu ya kuchonga na kuiomba miungu asiyewasidia.
21 Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.
Sogeeni karibu na mnitangazie mimi, leteni ushahidi! waache walete mashauri kwa pamoja. Ni nani aliyewaonyesha haya kutoka zamani? Ni nani aliyetangaza? Je sikuwa mimi, Yahwe? na hakuna Mungu mwingine ila mimi, Mungu mwenye haki; na mkombozi; hakuna mwingine zaidi yake.
22 All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no other.
Nijeukieni mimi, na mkaokolewe, miisho yote ya nchi; Maana mimi ni Mungu, na hakuna mwingine. Mimi mwenyewe ninaapa, ninaongea katika haki yangu, na sitarudi nyuma:
23 I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back. For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.
'kwangu kila goti litapigwa, na kila ulimi utakiri.
24 Therefore, he will say, “In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.” They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.
Wataniambia mimi, Ni katika Yahwe peke yake kuna wokovu na nguvu.'' wataaibika wale wote wenye hasira na Mungu.
25 In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel will be justified and praised.
Katika Yahwe makabila yote ya Israeli yataalalishwa; watachukua kiburi katika yeye.
