Isaiah 25
1 O YHWH, thou art my Elohim; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Ee Bwana, wewe ni Mungu wangu, nitakutukuza na kulisifu jina lako, kwa maana katika ukamilifu wa uaminifu umetenda mambo ya ajabu, mambo yaliyokusudiwa tangu zamani.
2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
Umeufanya mji kuwa lundo la kifusi, mji wenye ngome kuwa magofu, ngome imara ya wageni kuwa si mji tena, wala hautajengwa tena kamwe.
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
Kwa hiyo mataifa yenye nguvu yatakuheshimu, miji ya mataifa katili itakuheshimu wewe.
4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
Umekuwa kimbilio la watu maskini, kimbilio la mhitaji katika taabu yake, hifadhi wakati wa dhoruba na kivuli wakati wa hari. Kwa maana pumzi ya wakatili ni kama dhoruba ipigayo ukuta
5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
na kama joto la jangwani. Wewe wanyamazisha makelele ya wageni; kama vile hari ipunguzwavyo na kivuli cha wingu, ndivyo wimbo wa wakatili unyamazishwavyo.
6 And in this mountain shall YHWH of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
Juu ya mlima huu Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote ataandaa karamu ya vinono kwa mataifa yote, karamu ya mvinyo wa zamani, nyama nzuri sana na divai zilizo bora sana.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
Juu ya mlima huu ataharibu sitara ihifadhiyo mataifa yote, kile kifuniko kifunikacho mataifa yote,
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Master YHWH will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for YHWH hath spoken it.
yeye atameza mauti milele. Bwana Mwenyezi atafuta machozi katika nyuso zote; ataondoa aibu ya watu wake duniani kote. Bwana amesema hili.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our Elohim; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is YHWH; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Katika siku ile watasema, “Hakika huyu ndiye Mungu wetu; tulimtumaini, naye akatuokoa. Huyu ndiye Bwana, tuliyemtumaini; sisi tushangilie na kufurahia katika wokovu wake.”
10 For in this mountain shall the hand of YHWH rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
Mkono wa Bwana utatulia juu ya mlima huu, bali Moabu atakanyagwa chini kama majani makavu yakanyagwavyo kwenye shimo la mbolea.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
Watakunjua mikono yao katikati yake, kama vile mwogeleaji akunjuavyo mikono yake ili aogelee. Mungu atashusha kiburi chao licha ya ujanja wa mikono yao.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Atabomoa kuta ndefu za maboma yako na kuziangusha chini, atazishusha chini ardhini, mpaka mavumbini kabisa.
