Isaiah 34
1 Come neere, ye nations and heare, and hearken, ye people: let the earth heare and all that is therein, the world and al that proceedeth thereof.
Njooni karibu, enyi mataifa, nanyi msikilize; sikilizeni kwa makini, enyi kabila za watu! Dunia na isikie, navyo vyote vilivyo ndani yake, ulimwengu na vyote vitokavyo ndani yake!
2 For the indignation of the Lord is vpon all nations, and his wrath vpon all their armies: hee hath destroyed them and deliuered them to the slaughter.
Bwana ameyakasirikia mataifa yote; ghadhabu yake ni juu ya majeshi yao yote. Atawaangamiza kabisa, atawatia mikononi mwa wachinjaji.
3 And their slaine shalbe cast out, and their stincke shall come vp out of their bodies, and the mountaines shalbe melted with their blood.
Waliouawa watatupwa nje, maiti zao zitatoa uvundo, milima itatota kwa damu zao.
4 And all the hoste of heauen shalbe dissolued, and the heauens shall be folden like a booke: and all their hostes shall fall as the leafe falleth from the vine, and as it falleth from the figtree.
Nyota zote za mbinguni zitayeyuka na anga litasokotwa kama kitabu, jeshi lote la angani litaanguka kama majani yaliyonyauka kutoka kwenye mzabibu, kama tini iliyonyauka kutoka kwenye mtini.
5 For my sword shalbe drunken in the heauen: beholde, it shall come downe vpon Edom, euen vpon the people of my curse to iudgement.
Upanga wangu umekunywa na kushiba huko mbinguni, tazama, unashuka katika hukumu juu ya Edomu, wale watu ambao nimeshawahukumu, kuwaangamiza kabisa.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood: it is made fat with the fat and with the blood of the lambes and the goates, with the fat of the kidneis of the rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Upanga wa Bwana umeoga katika damu, umefunikwa na mafuta ya nyama: damu ya kondoo na mbuzi, mafuta kutoka figo za kondoo dume. Kwa maana Bwana ana dhabihu huko Bosra, na machinjo makuu huko Edomu.
7 And the vnicorne shall come downe with them and the heiffers with the bulles, and their lande shalbe drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatnesse.
Nyati wataanguka pamoja nao, ndama waume na mafahali wakubwa. Nchi yao italowana kwa damu, nayo mavumbi yataloa mafuta ya nyama.
8 For it is the day of the Lordes vengeance, and the yeere of recompence for the iudgement of Zion.
Kwa sababu Bwana anayo siku ya kulipiza kisasi, mwaka wa malipo, siku ya kushindania shauri la Sayuni.
9 And the riuers thereof shall be turned into pitche, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shalbe burning pitch.
Vijito vya Edomu vitageuka kuwa lami, mavumbi yake yatakuwa kiberiti kiunguzacho, nchi yake itakuwa lami iwakayo!
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day: the smoke thereof shall goe vp euermore: it shall be desolate from generation to generation: none shall passe through it for euer.
Haitazimishwa usiku wala mchana, moshi wake utapaa juu milele. Kutoka kizazi hadi kizazi itakuwa ukiwa, hakuna mtu yeyote atakayepita huko tena.
11 But the pelicane and the hedgehog shall possesse it, and the great owle, and the rauen shall dwel in it, and he shall stretch out vpon it the line of vanitie, and the stones of emptinesse.
Bundi wa jangwani na bundi mwenye sauti nyembamba wataimiliki, bundi wakubwa na kunguru wataweka viota humo. Mungu atanyoosha juu ya Edomu kamba ya kupimia ya machafuko matupu, na timazi ya ukiwa.
12 The nobles thereof shall call to the kingdome, and there shalbe none, and all the princes thereof shalbe as nothing.
Watu wake wa kuheshimiwa hawatakuwa na chochote kitakachoitwa ufalme huko, nao wakuu wao wote watatoweka.
13 And it shall bring foorth thornes in the palaces thereof, nettles and thistles in the strong holdes thereof, and it shall be an habitation for dragons, and a court for ostriches.
Miiba itaenea katika ngome za ndani, viwawi na michongoma itaota kwenye ngome zake. Itakuwa maskani ya mbweha, makao ya bundi.
14 There shall meete also Ziim and Iim, and the Satyre shall cry to his fellow, and the shricheowle shall rest there, and shall finde for her selfe a quiet dwelling.
Viumbe vya jangwani vitakutana na fisi, nao mbuzi-mwitu watalia wakiitana; huko viumbe vya usiku vitastarehe pia na kujitafutia mahali pa kupumzika.
15 There shall the owle make her nest, and laye, and hatche, and gather them vnder her shadowe: there shall the vultures also bee gathered, euery one with her make.
Bundi wataweka viota huko na kutaga mayai, atayaangua na kutunza makinda yake chini ya uvuli wa mabawa yake; pia huko vipanga watakusanyika, kila mmoja na mwenzi wake.
16 Seeke in the booke of the Lord, and reade: none of these shall fayle, none shall want her make: for his mouth hath commanded, and his very Spirit hath gathered them.
Angalieni katika gombo la Bwana na msome: Hakuna hata mmoja katika hawa atakayekosekana, hakuna hata mmoja atakayemkosa mwenzi wake. Kwa kuwa ni kinywa chake Mungu kimeagiza, na Roho wake atawakusanya pamoja.
17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath deuided it vnto them by line: they shall possesse it for euer: from generation to generation shall they dwell in it.
Huwagawia sehemu zao, mkono wake huwagawanyia kwa kipimo. Wataimiliki hata milele na kuishi humo kutoka kizazi hadi kizazi.
