< Isaiah 10 >
1 Woe to! those [who] decree decrees of wickedness and writers [who] trouble they wrote.
Ole wao wawekao sheria zisizo za haki, kwa wale watoao amri za kuonea,
2 To turn aside from judgment poor [people] and to take away [the] justice of [the] poor [people] of people my to be widows prey their and fatherless ones they will plunder.
kuwanyima maskini haki zao na kuzuilia haki za watu wangu walioonewa, kuwafanya wajane mawindo yao na kuwanyangʼanya yatima.
3 And what? will you do to [the] day of punishment and to [the] devastation [which] from a distance it will come to whom? will you flee for help and where? will you leave abundance your.
Mtafanya nini siku ya kutoa hesabu, wakati maafa yatakapokuja kutoka mbali? Mtamkimbilia nani awape msaada? Mtaacha wapi mali zenu?
4 Except anyone kneeled down under prisoner[s] and under [the] slain [people] they will fall for all this not it has turned back anger his and still hand his [is] stretched out.
Hakutasalia kitu chochote, isipokuwa kujikunyata miongoni mwa mateka, au kuanguka miongoni mwa waliouawa. Hata kwa haya yote, hasira yake haijageukia mbali, mkono wake bado umeinuliwa juu.
5 Woe to! Assyria [the] rod of anger my and [is] a staff it in hand their indignation my.
“Ole kwa Ashuru, fimbo ya hasira yangu, ambaye mkononi mwake ana rungu ya ghadhabu yangu!
6 On a nation godless I sent him and on [the] people of wrath my I commanded him to plunder plunder and to take as spoil spoil (and to make it *Q(k)*) a trampling place like [the] mud of [the] streets.
Ninamtuma dhidi ya taifa lisilomjua Mungu, ninamtuma dhidi ya taifa linalonikasirisha, kukamata mateka na kunyakua nyara, pia kuwakanyaga chini kama matope ya barabarani.
7 And he not thus he intended and heart his not thus it planned for to destroy [is] in heart his and to cut off nations not a few.
Lakini hili silo analokusudia, hili silo alilo nalo akilini; kusudi lake ni kuangamiza, kuyakomesha mataifa mengi.
8 For he said ¿ not [are] commanders my alike kings.
Maana asema, ‘Je, wafalme wote si majemadari wangu?
9 ¿ Not like Carchemish [is] Calneh or? not like Arpad [is] Hamath or? not like Damascus [is] Samaria.
Je, Kalno hakutendwa kama Karkemishi? Hamathi si kama Arpadi, nayo Samaria si kama Dameski?
10 Just as it has found hand my [the] kingdoms of the idol and images their [were] more than Jerusalem and more than Samaria.
Kama vile mkono wangu ulivyotwaa falme za sanamu, falme ambazo vinyago vyao vilizidi vile vya Yerusalemu na Samaria:
11 ¿ Not just as I did to Samaria and to idols its so will I do to Jerusalem and to images its.
je, nisiishughulikie Yerusalemu na sanamu zake kama nilivyoshughulikia Samaria na vinyago vyake?’”
12 And it will be that he will finish [the] Lord all work his on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem I will visit [judgment] on [the] fruit of [the] greatness of [the] heart of [the] king of Assyria and on [the] glory of [the] haughtiness of eyes his.
Bwana atakapokuwa amemaliza kazi yake yote dhidi ya Mlima Sayuni na Yerusalemu, atasema, “Nitamwadhibu mfalme wa Ashuru kwa ajili ya majivuno ya ukaidi wa moyo wake na kutazama kwa macho yenye dharau.”
13 For he has said by [the] strength of hand my I have acted and by skill my for I have understanding and I may remove - [the] boundaries of peoples (and provisions their *Q(K)*) I have plundered and I may bring down like a mighty [man] inhabitants.
Kwa kuwa anasema: “‘Kwa nguvu za mkono wangu nimefanya hili, kwa hekima yangu, kwa sababu nina ufahamu. Niliondoa mipaka ya mataifa, niliteka nyara hazina zao, kama yeye aliye shujaa niliwatiisha wafalme wao.
14 And it has found like nest - hand my [the] wealth of the peoples and as gathers eggs abandoned all the earth I I have gathered and not any was fluttering a wing and opening a mouth and chirping.
Kama mtu atiavyo mkono kwenye kiota, ndivyo mkono wangu ulivyochukua utajiri wa mataifa; kama watu wakusanyavyo mayai yaliyoachwa, ndivyo nilivyokusanya nchi zote; wala hakuna hata mmoja aliyepiga bawa au kufungua kinywa chake kutoa mlio.’”
15 ¿ Does it glorify itself the axe above the [one who] cuts with it or? does it magnify itself the saw above [the] [one who] wields it as wields a rod [those who] lift it as lifts a staff not wood.
Je, shoka laweza kujigamba kuwa na nguvu zaidi kuliko yule anayelitumia, au msumeno kujisifu dhidi ya yule anayeutumia? Ni kana kwamba fimbo ingeweza kumwinua yeye aichukuaye, au mkongojo ungemwinua mwenye kuutumia!
16 Therefore he will send the lord Yahweh of hosts on fat ones his leanness and under glory his it will burn a burning like [the] burning of fire.
Kwa hiyo Bwana, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, atatuma ugonjwa wa kudhoofisha kwa askari wake walio hodari, katika fahari yake moto utawaka kama mwali wa moto.
17 And it will become [the] light of Israel a fire and holy [one] its a flame and it will burn and it will consume bush[es] his and thorn[s] his in a day one.
Nuru ya Israeli itakuwa moto, Aliye Mtakatifu wao mwali wa moto; katika siku moja utaunguza na kuteketeza miiba na michongoma yake.
18 And [the] splendor of forest his and orchard his from breath and unto flesh it will bring to an end and it will be as wastes away [one who] is sick.
Fahari ya misitu yake na mashamba yenye rutuba utateketeza kabisa, kama vile mtu mgonjwa adhoofikavyo.
19 And [the] remnant of [the] tree[s] of forest his a number they will be and a child he will record them.
Nayo miti inayobaki katika misitu yake itakuwa michache sana hata mtoto mdogo angeweza kuihesabu.
20 And it will be - in the day that not it will repeat again [the] remnant of Israel and [the] escaped remnant of [the] house of Jacob to depend on [the] [one who] struck it and it will depend on Yahweh [the] holy [one] of Israel in truth.
Katika siku ile, mabaki ya Israeli, walionusurika wa nyumba ya Yakobo, hawatamtegemea tena yeye aliyewapiga, lakini watamtegemea kwa kweli Bwana Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli.
21 A remnant it will return [the] remnant of Jacob to [the] God mighty.
Mabaki watarudi, mabaki wa Yakobo watamrudia Mungu Mwenye Nguvu.
22 That though it will be people your Israel like [the] sand of the sea a remnant it will return in it annihilation [has been] decided [is] about to overflow righteousness.
Ingawa watu wako, ee Israeli, ni wengi kama mchanga wa pwani, ni mabaki yao tu watakaorudi. Maangamizi yamekwisha amriwa, ni mengi tena ni haki.
23 For complete destruction and [what] has been decided [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts [is] about to do in [the] midst of all the land.
Bwana, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, atatekeleza maangamizi yaliyoamriwa juu ya nchi yote.
24 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts may not you be afraid O people my [which] dwells Zion from Assyria with the rod it will strike you and staff its it will lift up on you in [the] manner of Egypt.
Kwa hiyo, hili ndilo Bwana, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote asemalo: “Enyi watu wangu mkaao Sayuni, msiwaogope Waashuru, wanaowapiga ninyi kwa fimbo na kuinua rungu dhidi yenu, kama Misri ilivyofanya.
25 For yet a little of a little and it will be finished indignation and anger my [will be] on destruction their.
Bado kitambo kidogo sana hasira yangu dhidi yenu itakoma, na ghadhabu yangu itaelekezwa kwenye maangamizi yao.”
26 And he will wield on it Yahweh of hosts a whip like [the] defeat of Midian at [the] rock of Oreb and staff his [will be] over the sea and he will raise it in [the] manner of Egypt.
Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote atawachapa kwa mjeledi, kama alivyowapiga Wamidiani katika mwamba wa Orebu, naye atainua fimbo yake juu ya maji, kama alivyofanya huko Misri.
27 And it will be - in the day that it will be removed burden its from on shoulder your and yoke its from on neck your and it will be broken [the] yoke because of fatness.
Katika siku hiyo mzigo wao utainuliwa kutoka mabegani mwenu, na nira yao kutoka shingoni mwenu; nira itavunjwa kwa sababu ya kutiwa mafuta.
28 He has come to Aiath he has passed in Migron to Micmash he deposits baggage his.
Wanaingia Ayathi, wanapita katikati ya Migroni, wanahifadhi mahitaji huko Mikmashi.
29 They have passed over [the] pass Geba [will be] a lodging place for us it has trembled Ramah Gibeah of Saul it has fled.
Wanavuka kivukoni, nao wanasema, “Tutapiga kambi huko Geba usiku kucha.” Rama inatetemeka; Gibea ya Sauli inakimbia.
30 Cry aloud voice your O daughter of Gallim pay attention O Laishah O afflicted [one] Anathoth.
Piga kelele, ee Binti Galimu! Sikiliza, ee Laisha! Maskini Anathothi!
31 It has fled Madmenah [the] inhabitants of Gebim they have taken refuge.
Madmena inakimbia; watu wa Gebimu wanajificha.
32 Yet this day at Nob to stand he will shake hand his [the] mountain of ([the] daughter of *Q(K)*) Zion [the] hill of Jerusalem.
Siku hii ya leo watasimama Nobu; watatikisa ngumi zao kwa mlima wa Binti Sayuni, kwa kilima cha Yerusalemu.
33 There! the lord Yahweh of hosts [is] about to lop off bough[s] with a crash and [the] exalted [ones] of height [will be] cut down and the tall [ones] they will become low.
Tazama, Bwana, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, atayakata matawi kwa nguvu kuu. Miti mirefu sana itaangushwa, ile mirefu itashushwa chini.
34 And he will cut down [the] thickets of the forest with iron [axe] and the Lebanon by a mighty [one] it will fall.
Atakata vichaka vya msitu kwa shoka; Lebanoni itaanguka mbele zake yeye Mwenye Nguvu.
