Isaiah 27
1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and mightie sword shall visite Liuiathan, that pearcing serpent, euen Liuiathan, that crooked serpent, and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Katika siku hiyo Yahwe kwa upanga wake ulio mgumu, mkubwa na mkali, atamadhibu Leviathani na nyoka yule anayetambaa kwa kupenya, na atamuua mnyama anayeishi baharini.
2 In that daye sing of the vineyarde of redde wine.
Siku hiyo: Shamba la zabibu, litawaimbia.
3 I the Lord doe keepe it: I will water it euery moment: least any assaile it, I will keepe it night and day.
''Mimi Yahwe ni mlinzi wake; Ninalimwagia maji kila wakati; hivyo hakuna anayelimiza, Ninalilinda usiku na mchana.
4 Anger is not in mee: who would set the briers and the thornes against me in battel? I would go through them, I would burne them together.
Sina hasira, Oh, kama mbigiri na miiba! Katika vita nitatembea dhidi yao; Nitawachoma wote kwa pamoja;
5 Or will he feele my strength, that he may make peace with me, and be at one with me?
labda wafahamu ulinzi wangu na wafanye amani na mimi, waache wafanye amani na mimi.
6 Hereafter, Iaakob shall take roote: Israel shall florish and growe, and the world shall be filled with fruite.
Kwa siku inayokuja, Yakobo atachukua mzizi; Israeli itatoa maua na kuchipua; na itaijaza aridhi yote kwa matunda.''
7 Hath hee smitten him as hee smote those that smote him? or is hee slaine according to the slaughter of them that were slaine by him?
Je Yahwe alimshambulia Yakobo na Israeli na hayo mataifa yaliyomshambulia? Je Yakobo na Israeli waliuliwa na wao kama mliowachinja katika mataifa mliowauwa wao?
8 In measure in the branches thereof wilt thou contende with it, when he bloweth with his rough winde in the day of the East winde.
Kitika kipimo halisi cha kuridhisha, watume Yakobo na Israeli mbali; aliwaondosha mbali kwa upepo mkali, katika siku ya upepo wa mashariki.
9 By this therefore shall the iniquitie of Iaakob be purged, and this is all the fruit, the taking away of his sinne: whe he shall make all the stones of the altars, as chalke stones broken in pieces, that the groues and images may not stand vp.
Hivyo kwa njia hii, maovu ya Yakobo yatalipiwa, maana hii itakuwa matunda yote yakuomdolewa dhambi zake: pale atakapofanya mathebau ya mawe kama chokaa na kuviangamiza katika vipande vipande, na hakuna nguzo za Ashera au madhebau itakayoachwa imesimama.
10 Yet the defenced citie shalbe desolate, and the habitation shalbe forsaken, and left like a wildernes. There shall the calfe feede, and there shall he lie, and consume the branches thereof.
Maana mji imara umeharibiwa, makao yake na faragha yake yameachwa kama jangwa. Kuna ndama wanachungwa, na huko ndiko atakapo lala na kuyala matawi yake.
11 When the boughes of it are drie, they shalbe broken: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of none vnderstading: therefore hee that made them, shall not haue compassion of them, and he that formed them, shall haue no mercie on them.
Matawi yake yatakaponyauka yatanguka. Wanawake watakuja na kuyatumia kutengeneza moto, maana hawa sio watu waelewa. Hivyo basi Muumba wao hatakuwa na huruma juu yao, na yeye aliyewaumba atakuwa na huruma juu yao.
12 And in that day shall the Lord thresh from the chanell of the Riuer vnto the riuer of Egypt, and ye shalbe gathered, one by one, O children of Israel.
Na siku hiyo itakuwa kwamba Yahwe atapururua kutoka mto Efrate mpaka Wadi ya Misri na njie, watu wa Israeli, tutakusanyika mahali pamoja mmoja mmoja.
13 In that day also shall the great trumpet be blowen, and they shall come, which perished in the land of Asshur: and they that were chased into the lande of Egypt, and they shall worship the Lord in the holy Mount at Ierusalem.
Siku hiyo tarumbeta kubwa litapulizwa; na watu waliopotea katika nchi ya Asiria watakuja, na waliotupwa katika nchi ya Misri, watamuabudu Yahwe katika mlima mtakatifu huko Yerusalemu.
