Isaiah 62
1 For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her triumph go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burneth.
Kwa niaba ya Sayuni sitatulia, na kwa naiba ya Yerusalemu sitanyamaza kimya, mpaka haki yake itakapotokea, na wokovu wake kama tochi.
2 And the nations shall see thy triumph, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall mark out.
Mataifa yataona haki yako, na wafalme wote wataona utukufu wako. Utaitwa kwa jina jipya ambalo Yahwe atalichagua.
3 Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the open hand of thy God.
Pia utakuwa taji zuri katika mkono wa Yahwe, na kilemba cha ufalme katika mkono wa Mungu wako.
4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken, neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate; but thou shalt be called, My delight is in her, and thy land, Espoused; for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be espoused.
Hautaambiwa tena, ''Umetelekezwa''; wala kwa nchi yako hautasema tena, ''Ukiwa.'' kweli, itaitwa ''Neema yangu iko kwake'', na nchi yao ''ndoa'' mana furaha ya Yahwe ndani yenu, na nchi yenu itaolewa.
5 For as a young man espouseth a virgin, so shall thy sons espouse thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
Hakika, kama kijana mdogo akimuoa mwanamke mdogo, hivyo watoto wako watawaoa ninyi, na kama bwana harusi anavyofurahia juu ya bibi harusi, Mungu wenu atafuhai juu yenu.
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, they shall never hold their peace day nor night: 'Ye that are the LORD'S remembrancers, take ye no rest,
Nimemuweka mlinzi katika kuta zenu, Yerusalemu; hawatatulia mchana wala usiku. Utabaki kuwa Yahwe, usitulie.
7 And give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.'
Usimuache apumzike mpaka ainzishe tena Yerusalemu na kmfanya asifiwe duniani.
8 The LORD hath sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: Surely I will no more give thy corn to be food for thine enemies; and strangers shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured;
Yahwe ameapa kwa mkono wake wa kuume na kwa mkono wa nguvu zake, ''Hakika sitawapa tena nafaka kama chakula cha maadui zenu. Wageni hawatakunjwa mvinyo wenu uliompya maana mlifanya kazi.
9 But they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD, and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.
Kwale watakao vuna nafaka watazila na kumsifu Yahwe, na wale wanaochuma zabibu watakunjwa mvinyo katika mahakama ya madhebau yangu takatifu.''
10 Go through, go through the gates, clear ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway, gather out the stones; lift up an ensign over the peoples.
Njooni pitieni, pitieni katika lango! Tenegenezeni mapito ya watu! Itengenezeni, Tengeneza njia kuu! kusanyeni mawe! Nyanyueni juu ishara ya bendera kwa mataifa!
11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth: say ye to the daughter of Zion: 'Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.'
Tazama, Yahwe ametangaza mwisho wa nchi, ''Waambie binti Sayuni: Tazama, Mkombozi wenu anakuja! Angalia, amebeba zawadi zake, na malipo yake yapo mbele yake.''
12 And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD; and thou shalt be called Sought out, a city not forsaken.
Watakuita wewe, ''Mtu mtakatifu; Mkombozi wa Yahwe,'' nawe utaitwa ''Ulioacha kabla; mji usiotelekezwa.''
