Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, YHWH is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He has entered Egypt, And the idols of Egypt have been moved at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melts in its midst.
Tamko kuhusu Misri. Ona, Yahwe atasafiri katika mawimbi mepesi na anakuja Misri; Sanamu za Misri zitatemeka mbele yake, na mioyo ya Wamisri itayeyuka ndani yao wenyewe.
2 And I armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
Nitawachanganya Wamisri juu dhidi ya Wamisiri: Mtu atapigana dhidi ya ndugu yake, mji dhidi ya miji, na ufalme dhidi ya ufalme.
3 And the spirit of Egypt has been emptied out in its midst. And I swallow up its counsel, And they have sought to the idols, And to the charmers, And to those having familiar spirits, And to the wizards.
Roho ya Misri itadhohofishwa kutoka ndani. Nitauharibu ushauri wake, japo wanafikiria ushauri wa sanamu, roho za watu waliokufa, na mizimu, na
4 And I have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king rules over them, A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
Nitawacha Wamisiri kwenye mikono ya viongozi wakatili, kiongozi imara atawaongoza wao- Hili ni tamko la Yahwe Bwana wa majehi.''
5 And waters have failed from the sea, And a river is desolated and dried up.
Maji ya bahari yatakauka juu, na mto uakauka na kuwa mtupu.
6 And they have turned away the flowings, Brooks of the bulwark have been weak and dried up, Reed and flag have withered.
Mito itakuwa michafu; mikondo ya Misri itakuwa dhii na kukauka; mwanzi na bendera zake zitapeperushwa mbali.
7 Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, has withered, It has been driven away, and is not.
Mianzi ya Nile, kwa mdomo wa mto Nile, na mbegu zote zitakazo katika mashamba ya Nilezitakauka zote, zitageuka kuwa mavumbi, na kupeperukia mbali.
8 And the fishers have lamented, And all casting a hook into the brook have mourned, And those spreading dragnets on the face of the waters have languished.
Wavuvi watalia na kuomboleza, na wale watakao shusha neti kwenye maji watauzunika.
9 And makers of fine flax have been ashamed, And weavers of networks.
Wafanyakazi ya kuchana kitani watafaidika na hao washonao nguo nyeupe watajeuka kuwa mchonaji.
10 And its foundations have been struck, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.
Washona nguo wa Misri wataangamizwa; na wote waloajiriwa watahuzunika nafsini mwao.
11 Only, the princes of Zoan [are] fools, The counsel of the wise ones of the counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of kings of antiquity?”
Wakuu wa Zoana ni wajinga kabisa. Washauri wenye busara wa Farao ni wapumbavu. Unawezaje kumwambia Farao, ''Mimi ni mtoto wa watu wenye busara,
12 Where [are] they now, your wise ones? Indeed, let them now tell [it] to you, And they know what YHWH of Hosts has counseled against Egypt!
''Wako wapi hao watu wenye busara? mtoto wa mfalme wa zamani? Waache wakuambie? na ijulikane kitu ambacho Yahwe wa majeshi amekipanga kuhusiana na Misri.
13 Princes of Zoan have been foolish, Princes of Noph have been lifted up, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.
Wakuu wa Zoani wamekuwa wajinga, wakuu wa Memphisi wamegawanyika; wameifanya Misri iende kinyume, na mawe ya pembeni ya makabila yao.
14 YHWH has mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard errs in his vomit.
Yahwe amechanganya roho wa kuvurugwa katika yao, na wamefanya Wamisri kwenda kinyume kwa yote wanoyafanya, kama mlevi anavyoyumbayumba uku akitapika.
15 And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.
Hakuna kitu ambacho mtu yeyote anaweza kukifanya kwa ajili ya Misri, kama kichwa au mkia, tawi au mwanzi.
16 In that day Egypt is like women, And it has mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, That He is waving over it.
Siku hiyo, Wamisri watakuwa kama wanawake. watatemeka na kuogopa mkono wa Yahwe wa majeshi ulioinuliwa juu yao.
17 And the land of Judah has been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Everyone who mentions it, fears for himself, Because of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, That He is counseling against it.
Nchi ya Yuda itakuwa sababu ya utisho kwa Misri. Yeyote atakao wakumbusha wao kuhusu yeye, wataogopa sana, kwa sababu ya mpango wa Yahwe, anaoukusudia juu yao.
18 In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, “The city of destruction,” is said of one.
Siku hiyo kutakuwa na miji mitano katika nchi ya Misri wanaozungumza lugha ya Kanaani na kuapa kimtii Yahwe wa majeshi. Moja kati ya miji hii itaitwa mji wa ulioharibiwa.
19 In that day there is an altar to YHWH In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar to YHWH near its border,
Siku hiyo kutakuwa madhabahu kwa ajili ya Yahwe katika ya nchi ya Misri, na jiwe la chumvi karibu na Yahwe.
20 And it has been for a sign and for a testimony, To YHWH of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry to YHWH from the face of oppressors, And He sends a Savior to them, Even a great one, and has delivered them.
Itakuwa kama ishara na ushahidi kwa Yahwe wa majeshi katika nchi ya Misri. Atawatumia mkombozi na mlinzi, na atawokoa wao.
21 And YHWH has been known to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known YHWH in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to YHWH, and completed [it].
Yahwe atajulikana Misri, na Wamisri watamkubali Yahwe siku hiyo. Watamuabudu kwa sadaka na matoleo, na wataweka agano na kulitimiza.
22 And YHWH has struck Egypt, striking and healing, And they have turned back to YHWH, And He has accepted their plea, And has healed them.
Yahwe ataipga Misri, ataipiga na kuiponya. Halafu watamrudia Yahwe; atasikiliza maombi yao na kuwaponya.
23 In that day a highway is out of Egypt to Asshur, And the Assyrians have come into Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians.
Siku hiyo kutakuwa na njia kuu kutoka Misri kwenda Asiria, na Waasira watakuja Misri, na Wamisri watakwenda Asira; na Wamisri wataabudu pamoja na Waasiria.
24 In that day Israel is third, With Egypt, and with Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.
Siku hiyo, Israeli itakuwa ya tatu pamoja na Misri na Asiria, baraka katikati ya nchi;
25 In that YHWH of Hosts blessed it, saying, “Blessed [is] My people—Egypt, And the work of My hands—Asshur, And My inheritance—Israel!”
Yahwe wa majeshi atawabariki na kusema, '' wabarikiwe Wamisri, watu wangu; Wasiria, kazi ya mikono yangu; na Israeli urithi wangu.
