Isaiah 62
1 For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
Kwa niaba ya Sayuni sitatulia, na kwa naiba ya Yerusalemu sitanyamaza kimya, mpaka haki yake itakapotokea, na wokovu wake kama tochi.
2 The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
Mataifa yataona haki yako, na wafalme wote wataona utukufu wako. Utaitwa kwa jina jipya ambalo Yahwe atalichagua.
3 You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Pia utakuwa taji zuri katika mkono wa Yahwe, na kilemba cha ufalme katika mkono wa Mungu wako.
4 And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married.
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 just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
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 on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on the LORD, take no rest,
Nimemuweka mlinzi katika kuta zenu, Yerusalemu; hawatatulia mchana wala usiku. Utabaki kuwa Yahwe, usitulie.
7 and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Usimuache apumzike mpaka ainzishe tena Yerusalemu na kmfanya asifiwe duniani.
8 The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
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 those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and those who 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 the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for 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 Look, the LORD has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, 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 They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Watakuita wewe, ''Mtu mtakatifu; Mkombozi wa Yahwe,'' nawe utaitwa ''Ulioacha kabla; mji usiotelekezwa.''
