Isaiah 62
1 For Zion’s sake, will I not hold my peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake, will I not rest, —Until her righteousness, go forth as brightness, And her salvation, as a torch that is lighted.
Kwa niaba ya Sayuni sitatulia, na kwa naiba ya Yerusalemu sitanyamaza kimya, mpaka haki yake itakapotokea, na wokovu wake kama tochi.
2 So shall nations see thy righteousness, And all kings, thy glory; And thou shalt be called by a new name, which, the mouth of Yahweh, will name.
Mataifa yataona haki yako, na wafalme wote wataona utukufu wako. Utaitwa kwa jina jipya ambalo Yahwe atalichagua.
3 Then shalt thou become—A crown of adorning, in the hand of Yahweh, and A royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Pia utakuwa taji zuri katika mkono wa Yahwe, na kilemba cha ufalme katika mkono wa Mungu wako.
4 Thou shalt he termed no longer—Forsaken Nor shall thy land be termed any longer A desolation, But, thou, shalt be called Hephzibah ["My delight is in her"], And, thy land, Beulah ["married"], —For Yahweh hath found delight in thee, And thy 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 a young man marrieth, a virgin, Thy sons marry thee! And the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride—Thy God, rejoiceth over thee.
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 Upon thy walls O Jerusalem, have I appointed watchmen, All the day and all the night through, let them not hold their peace, —O ye that put Yahweh in mind, Do not take rest to yourselves,
Nimemuweka mlinzi katika kuta zenu, Yerusalemu; hawatatulia mchana wala usiku. Utabaki kuwa Yahwe, usitulie.
7 Neither give rest, unto him, Until he establish and until he set forth Jerusalem as a praise in the earth!
Usimuache apumzike mpaka ainzishe tena Yerusalemu na kmfanya asifiwe duniani.
8 Sworn hath Yahweh—By his own right hand, and By his own strong arm, —Surely I will give thy corn no more, as food to thine enemies, Nor shall the sons of the foreigner drink thy new wine, for which thou hast toiled;
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 they who have garnered it, shall eat it, and praise Yahweh, —And they who have gathered in its clusters, shall drink it in my holy courts.
Kwale watakao vuna nafaka watazila na kumsifu Yahwe, na wale wanaochuma zabibu watakunjwa mvinyo katika mahakama ya madhebau yangu takatifu.''
10 Pass ye through pass ye through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, —Cast ye up, cast ye up the highway, Clear it of stones, Lift ye high a standard unto 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 Lo! Yahweh, hath sent a message unto the end of the earth: Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy Salvation, is coming, —Lo! 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 So shall men call them—The holy people The redeemed of Yahweh, —And, thou, shalt be called—Sought out, A city not forsaken,
Watakuita wewe, ''Mtu mtakatifu; Mkombozi wa Yahwe,'' nawe utaitwa ''Ulioacha kabla; mji usiotelekezwa.''
