Isaiah 45
1 Thus, saith Yahweh, to his Anointed, to Cyrus—Whose right hand I have firmly grasped To subdue before him, nations, And the loins of kings, will I ungird, —To open, before him, the two-leaved doors, And, the gates, shall not be shut:
Yahwe asema hivi kwa mapakwa mafuta, kwa Koreshi, niliyemshika kwa mkono wa kuume, illi niweze kuangamiza mataifa mbele yake, kuwalinda wafalme, kufunguo milango mbele yao, ili lango liwe wazi:
2 I, before thee, will go, And the hills, will I level—The doors of bronze, will I break in pieces, And the bars of iron, will I cut asunder;
''Nitakwenda mbele yako na kusawazisha milima; nitavunjavunja vipandevivande milango ya shaba na kukuta vipandevipande nguzo za chuma,
3 Then will I give thee The treasures of darkness, Even the hoards of hidden places, —That thou mayest get to know That I—Yahweh, who am calling thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Nitakupa hazina iliyo gizani na utajiri uliofichwa mbali, ili ujue kwamba ni mimi Yahwe, niliyekuita kwa jina lako, Mimi, Mungu wa Israeli.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, Even Israel my chosen Therefore have I called unto thee by thy name, I give thee a title though thou hast not known me, —
Kwa niaba ya Jakobo mtumishi wangu, na Israeli chaguo langu, Nimekuita wewe kwa jina lako: nimekupa heshima iliyotukuka, jabo hakunijua mimi.
5 I, am Yahweh, and there is none else, Besides me, there is no God, —I gird thee, though thou hast not known me:
Mimi ni Yahwe na hapana mwingine; hakuna Mungu ila mimi. Nitakuimarisha katika vita, japo hamkunifamu mimi;
6 That men may get to know. From the rising of the sun And from the west. That there is none besides me, —I, am Yahweh, and there is none else:
kwamba watu wajue kutoka mapambazuko ya jua, na kutoka magharibi, kwamba hakuna mungu mwngine ila mimi: Mimi ni Yahwe, na hakuna mwingine.
7 Forming light and creating darkness, Making prosperity, and creating misfortune, —I—Yahweh, who doeth all these.
Nimefanya mwanga na nimeumba giza; Ninanateta amani na ninaumba majanga; Mimi Yahwe, nifanyae haya yote.
8 Let the drops fall ye heavens, from above, Yea, let, the skies, pour down righteousness, —Let the earth open and let them bear as their fruit—deliverance And let, justice, spring forth therewith, I—Yahweh, have created it.
Enyi mbingu, nyesha kutoka juu! Acha anga lishushe chini haki, na acha nchi inyonje haki, ili wokovu uweze kuchipukia juu, na haki kutawanyika kwa pamoja. Mimi Yahwe nimewumba wote kwa pamoja.
9 Alas for him who contendeth with his Fashioner, —A potsherd, [should contend] with the potsherds of the ground! Shall it be said by the clay, unto him that is fashioning it, What wouldst thou make? Or, thy work say, of thee, He hath no hands?
Ole kwa yeyote anayesema kwa yule aliyemfanya yeye, kwake yeye ni kama chungu cha udongo miongoni mwa vyingu vya udongo katika aridhi! Je udongo umwambia mfinyanzi, 'Unatengeneza nini? au ' Kazi yako haina kitu cha kushika?
10 Alas, for one who saith to a father, What begettest thou? Or to a woman What dost thou bring forth?
Ole wake asemae kwa baba, 'Unanizaa nini? au kwa mwanamke, 'unanizaa mimi nin?'
11 Thus, saith, Yahweh, The Holy One of Israel And his Fashioner, As to things to come, they have asked me, Concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands, they would command me!
Yahwe asema hivi, yeye aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli, muumbaji wake: 'Kwa nini unauliza swali kuhusu nini nitakacho kifanya kwa watoto wangu? Je unaweza kuniambia kuuhusiana na kazi ya mikono yangu?
12 I, made the earth, And man upon it, I created, —I—mine own hands, stretched out the heavens, And all their host, I commanded:
Nimeifanya nchi na kuumba mtu juu yake. Ni mkono yangu mimi nilioinyoosha ju ya mbingu, na nikazimuru nyota zote kutokea.
13 I, have roused him up in righteousness, And all his roads, will I level, —He, shall build my city, And my captives, shall he let go, Not for price, nor for bribe, Saith Yahweh of hosts.
Nimemuinua Keroshi juu katika haki yangu, na nitalainisha njia zake zote. Ataujenga mji wangu kwa upya; atawachia walioko uhamishoni kurudi nyumbani kwao, na so kwa pesa wala kwa rushwa,'' asema Yahwe wa majeshi.
14 Thus, saith Yahweh—The produce of Egypt and the gain of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of great stature, Unto thee, shall come over, And thine, shall they become, After thee, shall they journey, In chains, shall they come over, —And unto thee, shall they bow down Unto thee, shall they pray [saying], —Surely, in thee, is a GOD And there is none else—no, God!
Yahwe asema hivi, mapato ya Misri na bidhaa ya Ethiopia pamoja na Waseba jamii ya watu werefu, tatawaleta kwenu. Watakuwa wa kwenu. Watafuata baada yenu, watakuja na minyororo. Watakuinamia chini na kukuomba huku wakisema, 'Hakika Mungu yuko pamoja na wewe na hakuna mwingine ila yeye.''
15 Surely, thou, art a GOD utterly hiding thyself, —O God of Israel, able to save!
Hakika mna Mungu aliyejifisha ndani yenu, Mungu wa Israeli, Mkombozi.
16 They have turned pale and even been put to shame, all of them, —Together have they gone into disgrace, have the makers of images:
Wote wataabishwa na kuzaraliwa kwa pamoja; wale wachongao sanamu watatembea katika udhalilishaji.
17 Israel, hath been delivered by Yahweh, with an age-abiding deliverance, —Ye shall neither turn pale nor he put to shame, unto the ages of futurity,
Lakini Israeli itakombolewa na Yahwe kawa wokovu wa milele; na wala hautaabika tena au kudhalilishwa.
18 For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Who created the heavens God himself! Who fashioned the earth—And made it Himself, established it, …Not a waste, created he it To be dwelt in, he fashioned it, …I, am Yahweh, and there is none else:
Yahwe asem hivi, nani aliyeziumba mbingu, Mungu wa kweli ndiye aliyeiumbwa nchi na kuifaya, ndiye aliyeianzisha nchi. Aliiumba yeye, sio kama taka, aliimba ili pawe na wenyeji: ''mimi ni Yahwe, na hakuna mwingine.
19 Not in secret, have I spoken In a place of the earth that is dark, —I have not said unto the seed of Jacob, In a waste, seek ye me, —I, am Yahweh, Speaking the thing that is right, Declaring the things that are just.
Sijaongea katika siri, katika maeneo ya siri; Sijauambia ukoo wa Daudi, 'Nitafute bure! Mimi ni Yahwe ninayezungumza ukweli; Ninatangaza vitu vilivyo vya kweli.
20 Assemble yourselves and come Draw near together, ye escaped of the nations, —They know not Who carry the wood of their carved image, And pray unto a GOD who cannot save.
Jikusanjeni wenyewe na mje! kusanyikeni kwa pamoja, enyi wakimbizi kutoka miongoni mwa mataifa! Hawana maarifa, wale wanaobeba sanamu ya kuchonga na kuiomba miungu asiyewasidia.
21 Tell ye—and bring near, Yea let them take counsel, together, —Who let this be known aforetime. In time past, declared it? Was it not, I—Yahweh? And there is none else that is God besides me, A GOD, righteous and ready to save, There is none, besides me!
Sogeeni karibu na mnitangazie mimi, leteni ushahidi! waache walete mashauri kwa pamoja. Ni nani aliyewaonyesha haya kutoka zamani? Ni nani aliyetangaza? Je sikuwa mimi, Yahwe? na hakuna Mungu mwingine ila mimi, Mungu mwenye haki; na mkombozi; hakuna mwingine zaidi yake.
22 Turn unto me—and be ye saved, all ye ends of the earth, —For, I, am GOD, and there is none else.
Nijeukieni mimi, na mkaokolewe, miisho yote ya nchi; Maana mimi ni Mungu, na hakuna mwingine. Mimi mwenyewe ninaapa, ninaongea katika haki yangu, na sitarudi nyuma:
23 By myself, have I sworn, Gone forth out of my mouth, is righteousness as a decree And shall not turn back, —That, unto myself, Shall bow every knee, Shall swear every tongue:
'kwangu kila goti litapigwa, na kila ulimi utakiri.
24 Only in Yahweh—for me, Hath one said, Is there righteousness and strength, Unto him, shall come and turn pale—All who have been incensed against him:
Wataniambia mimi, Ni katika Yahwe peke yake kuna wokovu na nguvu.'' wataaibika wale wote wenye hasira na Mungu.
25 In Yahweh, shall be justified and shall boast themselves—All the seed of Israel.
Katika Yahwe makabila yote ya Israeli yataalalishwa; watachukua kiburi katika yeye.
