Isaiah 34
1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof; the world, and all things that come forth of it
Njooni karibu, enyi mataifa, nanyi msikilize; sikilizeni kwa makini, enyi kabila za watu! Dunia na isikie, navyo vyote vilivyo ndani yake, ulimwengu na vyote vitokavyo ndani yake!
2 For the LORD hath indignation against all the nations, and fury against all their host: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
Bwana ameyakasirikia mataifa yote; ghadhabu yake ni juu ya majeshi yao yote. Atawaangamiza kabisa, atawatia mikononi mwa wachinjaji.
3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and the stink of their carcases shall come up, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
Waliouawa watatupwa nje, maiti zao zitatoa uvundo, milima itatota kwa damu zao.
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fade away, as the leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as a fading [leaf] from the fig tree.
Nyota zote za mbinguni zitayeyuka na anga litasokotwa kama kitabu, jeshi lote la angani litaanguka kama majani yaliyonyauka kutoka kwenye mzabibu, kama tini iliyonyauka kutoka kwenye mtini.
5 For my sword hath drunk its fill in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
Upanga wangu umekunywa na kushiba huko mbinguni, tazama, unashuka katika hukumu juu ya Edomu, wale watu ambao nimeshawahukumu, kuwaangamiza kabisa.
6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Upanga wa Bwana umeoga katika damu, umefunikwa na mafuta ya nyama: damu ya kondoo na mbuzi, mafuta kutoka figo za kondoo dume. Kwa maana Bwana ana dhabihu huko Bosra, na machinjo makuu huko Edomu.
7 And the wild-oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
Nyati wataanguka pamoja nao, ndama waume na mafahali wakubwa. Nchi yao italowana kwa damu, nayo mavumbi yataloa mafuta ya nyama.
8 For it is the day of the LORD’S vengeance, the year of recompence in the controversy of Zion.
Kwa sababu Bwana anayo siku ya kulipiza kisasi, mwaka wa malipo, siku ya kushindania shauri la Sayuni.
9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
Vijito vya Edomu vitageuka kuwa lami, mavumbi yake yatakuwa kiberiti kiunguzacho, nchi yake itakuwa lami iwakayo!
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
Haitazimishwa usiku wala mchana, moshi wake utapaa juu milele. Kutoka kizazi hadi kizazi itakuwa ukiwa, hakuna mtu yeyote atakayepita huko tena.
11 But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein: and he shall stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness.
Bundi wa jangwani na bundi mwenye sauti nyembamba wataimiliki, bundi wakubwa na kunguru wataweka viota humo. Mungu atanyoosha juu ya Edomu kamba ya kupimia ya machafuko matupu, na timazi ya ukiwa.
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all her princes shall be nothing.
Watu wake wa kuheshimiwa hawatakuwa na chochote kitakachoitwa ufalme huko, nao wakuu wao wote watatoweka.
13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and thistles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
Miiba itaenea katika ngome za ndani, viwawi na michongoma itaota kwenye ngome zake. Itakuwa maskani ya mbweha, makao ya bundi.
14 And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; yea, the night-monster shall settle there, and shall find her a place of rest.
Viumbe vya jangwani vitakutana na fisi, nao mbuzi-mwitu watalia wakiitana; huko viumbe vya usiku vitastarehe pia na kujitafutia mahali pa kupumzika.
15 There shall the arrowsnake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: yea, there shall the kites be gathered, every one with her mate.
Bundi wataweka viota huko na kutaga mayai, atayaangua na kutunza makinda yake chini ya uvuli wa mabawa yake; pia huko vipanga watakusanyika, kila mmoja na mwenzi wake.
16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall be missing, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
Angalieni katika gombo la Bwana na msome: Hakuna hata mmoja katika hawa atakayekosekana, hakuna hata mmoja atakayemkosa mwenzi wake. Kwa kuwa ni kinywa chake Mungu kimeagiza, na Roho wake atawakusanya pamoja.
17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
Huwagawia sehemu zao, mkono wake huwagawanyia kwa kipimo. Wataimiliki hata milele na kuishi humo kutoka kizazi hadi kizazi.
