Isaiah 45
1 Thus saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall 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 thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst 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 thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel.
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 my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast 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 none else: there is no God, besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me:
Mimi ni Yahwe na hapana mwingine; hakuna Mungu ila mimi. Nitakuimarisha katika vita, japo hamkunifamu mimi;
6 That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else:
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 darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.
Nimefanya mwanga na nimeumba giza; Ninanateta amani na ninaumba majanga; Mimi Yahwe, nifanyae haya yote.
8 Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: 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 that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without 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 that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?
Ole wake asemae kwa baba, 'Unanizaa nini? au kwa mwanamke, 'unanizaa mimi nin?'
11 Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.
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 forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
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 to justice, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives, not for ransom, nor for presents, saith 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 saith the Lord: The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of Sabaim, men of stature shall come over to thee, and shall be thins: they shall walk after thee, they shall go bound with manacles: and they shall worship thee, and shall make supplication to thee: only in thee is God, and there is no God besides thee.
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 Verily thou art a hidden God, the God of Israel the saviour.
Hakika mna Mungu aliyejifisha ndani yenu, Mungu wa Israeli, Mkombozi.
16 They are all confounded and ashamed: the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion.
Wote wataabishwa na kuzaraliwa kwa pamoja; wale wachongao sanamu watatembea katika udhalilishaji.
17 Israel is saved in the Lord with as eternal salvation: you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever.
Lakini Israeli itakombolewa na Yahwe kawa wokovu wa milele; na wala hautaabika tena au kudhalilishwa.
18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: he did not create it in vain: he formed it to 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 seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things.
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 come, and draw near together, ye that are saved of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, and pray to a god that cannot 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 Tell ye, and come, and consult together: who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? A just God and a saviour, there is none besides 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 Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: 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 shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return: For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.
'kwangu kila goti litapigwa, na kila ulimi utakiri.
24 Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded.
Wataniambia mimi, Ni katika Yahwe peke yake kuna wokovu na nguvu.'' wataaibika wale wote wenye hasira na Mungu.
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.
Katika Yahwe makabila yote ya Israeli yataalalishwa; watachukua kiburi katika yeye.
