Isaiah 62
1 For the sake of Zion will I not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem will I not be quiet; until its righteousness go forth as the brightness [of light], and its salvation as a burning torch.
Kwa ajili ya Sayuni sitanyamaza, kwa ajili ya Yerusalemu sitatulia, mpaka haki yake itakapoangaza kama mapambazuko, wokovu wake kama mwanga wa moto.
2 And nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and men shall call thee by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall pronounce.
Mataifa wataona haki yako, nao wafalme wote wataona utukufu wako; wewe utaitwa kwa jina jipya lile ambalo kinywa cha Bwana kitatamka.
3 And thou shalt be a crown of ornament in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Utakuwa taji ya fahari mkononi mwa Bwana, taji ya kifalme mkononi mwa Mungu wako.
4 Thou shalt not be termed any more “Forsaken,” and thy land shall not be termed any more “Desolate;” for thou shalt be called “My delight in her” [[Chephzi-bah]], and thy land “Espoused” [[Be'ulah]]; for the Lord will have delight in thee, and thy land shall be espoused.
Hawatakuita tena Aliyeachwa, wala nchi yako kuiita Ukiwa. Bali utaitwa Hefsiba, nayo nchi yako itaitwa Beula, kwa maana Bwana atakufurahia, nayo nchi yako itaolewa.
5 For as a young man espouseth a virgin, so shall thy sons espouse thee; and as the bridegroom is glad over the bride, so will be glad over thee thy God.
Kama vile kijana aoavyo mwanamwali, ndivyo wanao watakavyokuoa wewe; kama bwana arusi amfurahiavyo bibi arusi wake, ndivyo Mungu wako atakavyokufurahia wewe.
6 Over thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I appointed watchmen, all the day and all the night, continually, shall they not be silent: ye that make mention of the Lord, take ye no rest.
Nimeweka walinzi juu ya kuta zako, ee Yerusalemu, hawatanyamaza mchana wala usiku. Ninyi wenye kumwita Bwana, msitulie,
7 And give him no rest, until he have established, and until he have set up Jerusalem as a praise on the earth.
msimwache apumzike hadi atakapoufanya imara Yerusalemu na kuufanya uwe sifa ya dunia.
8 Sworn hath the Lord by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, I will not give thy corn any more as food for thy enemies, and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy young wine for which thou hast labored;
Bwana ameapa kwa mkono wake wa kuume na kwa mkono wake wenye nguvu: “Kamwe sitawapa tena adui zenu nafaka zenu kama chakula chao; kamwe wageni hawatakunywa tena divai mpya ambayo mmeitaabikia,
9 But they who gather it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; and they who bring it together shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
lakini wale waivunao nafaka wataila na kumsifu Bwana, nao wale wakusanyao zabibu watainywa divai yake katika nyua za patakatifu pangu.”
10 Pass, pass through the gates, make clear the way of the people, cast up, cast up the highway, remove away the stones, lift up a banner over the nations.
Piteni, piteni katika malango! Tengenezeni njia kwa ajili ya watu. Jengeni, jengeni njia kuu! Ondoeni mawe. Inueni bendera kwa ajili ya mataifa.
11 Behold, the Lord hath caused to be heard unto the ends 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.”
Bwana ametoa tangazo mpaka miisho ya dunia: “Mwambie Binti Sayuni, ‘Tazama, mwokozi wako anakuja! Tazama ujira wake uko pamoja naye, na malipo yake yanafuatana naye!’”
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord; and thou shalt be called, Sought for, [[Derusha, ]] The city never forsaken.
Wataitwa Watu Watakatifu, Waliokombolewa na Bwana; nawe utaitwa Aliyetafutwa, Mji Usioachwa Tena.
