Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations, to hear, And you peoples, give attention, The earth and its fullness hear, The world, and all its productions.
Njooni karibu enyi mataifa, sikilizeni na muwe makini, enyi watu! Dunia na vyote vijazavyo vinatakiwa kusikiliza, dunia na vyote vitokavyo,
2 For to YHWH [is] wrath against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He has devoted them to destruction, He has given them to slaughter.
Maana Yahwe ana hasira na mataifa yote, ana hasira dhidi ya majeshi yao; amewaangamiza wao kabisa, ameawakabidhi kwa wachinjaji.
3 And their wounded are cast out, And their carcasses cause their stench to ascend, And mountains have been melted from their blood.
Miili ya watu wao waliokufa itatupwa nje. Harufu ya miili iliyokffa itakuwa kila mahali; na mlilima italowekwa kwa damu yao.
4 And all the host of the heavens have been consumed, And the heavens have been rolled together as a scroll, And all their hosts fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig tree.
Nyota zote angani zitafifia, na anga litakunjwa kama kitabu; na nyota zake zitafifia mbali, kama tawi linavyonyauka kwenye mzabibu, kama tunda lilokomaa kwenye mti.
5 For My sword was soaked in the heavens, Behold, it comes down on Edom, On the people of My curse for judgment.
Maana pale upanga wangu utakapokunywa na kushiba mbinguni; tazama, maana sasa utakuja chini huko Edomu, kwa watu ambao nimewaweka mbali na adhabu.
6 A sword [is] to YHWH—it has been full of blood, It has been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and male goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For to YHWH [is] a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Upanga wa Yahwe unadondosha matone ya damu na kufunikwa kwa mafuta, matone ya damu ya kondoo na mbuzi, yamefunikwa kwa figo za kondoo. Maana Yahwe ametoa sadaka katika Bozra na mauwaji katika nchi ya Edomu.
7 And reems have come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, And their land has been soaked from blood, And their dust is made fat from fatness.
Ng'ombe wa porini watachinjwa pamoja na wao, fahali wakubwa na fahali wadogo. Nchi yao italewa kwa damu, na mavumbi yake yatafanjwa kuwa mafuta na mafuta yaliyonona.
8 (For a day of vengeance [is] to YHWH, A year of recompenses for Zion’s strife),
Maana itakuwa ni siku ya kisasi kwa Yahwe na mwaka ambao anawalipa kwa sababu ya Sayuni.
9 And her streams have been turned to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land has become burning pitch.
Mifereji ya Edomu itageuka kuwa lami, na mavumbi yake yatakuwa kiberiti na nchi itakuwa kama lami inayoungua.
10 She is not quenched by night and by day, Her smoke goes up for all time, She is desolate from generation to generation, Forever and ever, none is passing into her.
Itaungua usiku na mchana; moshi wake utatoka daima; na patakuwa nyika kizazi hata kizazi; na hakuna hata mmoja atakayepita hapo milele na milele.
11 And pelican and hedgehog possess her, And owl and raven dwell in her, And He has stretched out over her A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.
Lakini ndege na wanyama porini wataishi pale; bundi na kunguru watatengeneza viota vyao pale. Atanjoosha juu yake futi kamba ya uharibifu na pima maji ya uharibifu.
12 They call her nobles [to] the kingdom, But there are none there, And all her princes are at an end.
Wenye vyeo hawatakuwa na kitu kilichobakia kuita ufalme, na wakuu wote watakuwa si kitu.
13 And thorns have gone up her palaces, Nettle and bramble [are] in her fortresses, And it has been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.
Miiba itaota katika maeneo yao, viwavi na mbigiri vitakuwa katika ngome zao. Yatakuwa makao ya mbweha, makazi ya mbuni.
14 And desert-dwellers have met with howlers, And the goat calls for its companion, Surely the night-owl has rested there, And has found a place of rest for herself.
Wanyama wa porini na fisi watakusanyika pale, na mbuzi wa porini watalia wao kwa wao. Nyakati za usiku wanyama watakaa pale na watajitafutia wenywe mahali pa kupumzikia.
15 The owl has made her nest there, Indeed, she lays, and has hatched, And has gathered under her shadow, Surely vultures have been gathered there, Each with its companion.
Bundi watatengeneza viota vyao, na kutotolea mayai yao, kila mmoja na mwenzake.
16 Seek out of the scroll of YHWH, and read, One of these has not been lacking, None has missed its companion, For My mouth—it has commanded, And His Spirit—He has gathered them.
Kutafuta kupitia kitabu cha Yahwe; hakuna hata kimoja ambacho hakitakuwepo. Hakuna kitakacho kosa mwenzake; maana mdoma wake umeamuru hivyo, roho yake imewakusanya wao.
17 And He has cast a lot for them, And His hand has apportioned [it] to them by line, They possess it for all time, They dwell in it from generation to generation!
Atapiga kura katika eneo lao, na mkono wake umewapima kwa kamba. Wataimiliki daima; kutoka kizazi hata kizazi wataishi pale.
