Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a King shall reigne in iustice, and the princes shall rule in iudgement.
Tazama, mfalme atatawala kwa uadilifu na watawala watatawala kwa haki.
2 And that man shall bee as an hiding place from the winde, and as a refuge for the tempest: as riuers of water in a drie place, and as the shadowe of a great rocke in a weary land.
Kila mtu atakuwa kama kivuli cha kujificha kutokana na upepo na kimbilio kutokana na dhoruba, kama vijito vya maji jangwani na kivuli cha mwamba mkubwa katika ardhi yenye kiu.
3 The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the eares of them that heare, shall hearken.
Ndipo macho ya wale wanaoona hayatafumbwa tena, nayo masikio ya wale wanaosikia yatasikiliza.
4 And the heart of the foolish shall vnderstand knowledge, and the tongue of the stutters shalbe ready to speake distinctly.
Moyo wa mtu mwenye hamaki utafahamu na kuelewa, nao ulimi wenye kigugumizi utanena kwa ufasaha.
5 A nigard shall no more be called liberall, nor the churle riche.
Mpumbavu hataitwa tena muungwana, wala mtu mbaya kabisa kupewa heshima ya juu.
6 But the nigarde will speake of nigardnesse, and his heart will worke iniquitie, and do wickedly, and speake falsely against the Lord, to make emptie the hungrie soule, and to cause the drinke of the thirstie to faile.
Kwa kuwa mpumbavu hunena upumbavu, moyo wake hushughulika na uovu: Hutenda mambo yasiyo ya kumcha Mungu, na hueneza habari za makosa kuhusu Bwana; yeye huwaacha wenye njaa bila kitu, na wenye kiu huwanyima maji.
7 For the weapons of the churle are wicked: hee deuiseth wicked counsels, to vndoe the poore with lying words: and to speake against the poore in iudgement.
Taratibu za mtu mbaya kabisa ni ovu, hufanya mipango miovu ili kumwangamiza maskini kwa uongo, hata wakati ambapo hoja za mhitaji ni za haki.
8 But the liberall man will deuise of liberall things, and he will continue his liberalitie.
Lakini mtu muungwana hufanya mipango ya kiungwana, na kwa matendo ya kiungwana yeye hufanikiwa.
9 Rise vp, ye women that are at ease: heare my voyce, ye carelesse daughters: hearken to my wordes.
Enyi wanawake wenye kuridhika sana, amkeni na mnisikilize. Enyi binti mnaojisikia kuwa salama, sikieni lile ninalotaka kuwaambia!
10 Yee women, that are carelesse, shall be in feare aboue a yeere in dayes: for the vintage shall faile, and the gatherings shall come no more.
Muda zaidi kidogo ya mwaka mmoja, ninyi mnaojisikia salama mtatetemeka, mavuno ya zabibu yatakoma na mavuno ya matunda hayatakuwepo.
11 Yee women, that are at ease, be astonied: feare, O yee carelesse women: put off the clothes: make bare, and girde sackcloth vpon the loynes.
Tetemekeni, enyi wanawake wenye kuridhika, tetemekeni kwa hofu, enyi binti mnaojisikia salama! Vueni nguo zenu, vaeni nguo ya gunia viunoni mwenu.
12 Men shall lament for the teates, euen for the pleasant fieldes, and for the fruitefull vine.
Pigeni matiti yenu kwa ajili ya mashamba mazuri, kwa ajili ya mizabibu iliyozaa vizuri
13 Vpon the lande of my people shall growe thornes and briers: yea, vpon all the houses of ioye in the citie of reioysing,
na kwa ajili ya nchi ya watu wangu, nchi ambayo miiba na michongoma imemea: naam, ombolezeni kwa ajili ya nyumba zote za furaha na kwa ajili ya mji huu wenye kufanya sherehe.
14 Because the palace shalbe forsaken, and the noise of the citie shalbe left: the towre and fortresse shalbe dennes for euer, and the delite of wilde asses, and a pasture for flockes,
Ngome itaachwa, mji wenye kelele nyingi utahamwa, ngome ndani ya mji na mnara wa ulinzi vitakuwa ukiwa milele, mahali pazuri pa punda na malisho ya makundi ya kondoo,
15 Vntill the Spirit be powred vpon vs from aboue, and the wildernes become a fruitfull fielde, and the plenteous fielde be counted as a forest.
mpaka Roho amwagwe juu yetu kutoka juu, nalo jangwa kuwa shamba lenye rutuba, na shamba lenye rutuba kuwa kama msitu.
16 And iudgement shall dwel in the desert, and iustice shall remaine in the fruitfull fielde.
Haki itakaa katika jangwa, na uadilifu utakaa katika shamba lenye rutuba.
17 And the worke of iustice shall bee peace, euen the worke of iustice and quietnesse, and assurance for euer.
Matunda ya haki yatakuwa amani, matokeo ya haki yatakuwa utulivu na matumaini milele.
18 And my people shall dwell in the tabernacle of peace, and in sure dwellings, and in safe resting places.
Watu wangu wataishi katika makao ya mahali pa amani, katika nyumba zilizo salama, katika mahali pa kupumzika pasipo na usumbufu.
19 When it haileth, it shall fall on the forest, and the citie shall be set in the lowe place.
Hata kama mvua ya mawe iangushe msitu na mji ubomolewe kabisa,
20 Blessed are ye that sowe vpon all waters, and driue thither the feete of the oxe and the asse.
tazama jinsi utakavyobarikiwa, ukipanda mbegu yako katika kila kijito, na kuwaacha ngʼombe wako na punda wajilishe kwa uhuru.
