Isaiah 19
1 [the] oracle of Egypt there! Yahweh [is] riding on a cloud swift and [is] coming Egypt and they will tremble [the] idols of Egypt from before him and [the] heart of Egypt it will melt within it.
Neno kuhusu Misri: Tazama, Bwana amepanda juu ya wingu liendalo kwa haraka naye anakuja Misri. Sanamu za Misri zinatetemeka mbele yake, nayo mioyo ya Wamisri inayeyuka ndani yao.
2 And I will provoke Egypt against Egypt and they will fight each against brother his and each against neighbor his city against city kingdom against kingdom.
“Nitamchochea Mmisri dhidi ya Mmisri, ndugu atapigana dhidi ya ndugu, jirani dhidi ya jirani, mji dhidi ya mji, ufalme dhidi ya ufalme.
3 And it will be disturbed [the] spirit of Egypt within it and plan its I will confuse and they will consult the idols and the mutterer and the necromancers and the soothsayers.
Wamisri watakufa moyo, na nitaibatilisha mipango yao. Watatafuta ushauri kwa sanamu na kwa roho za waliokufa, kwa waaguzi na kwa wale waongeao na mizimu.
4 And I will hand over Egypt in [the] hand of a master cruel and a king strong he will rule over them [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts.
Nitawatia Wamisri mikononi mwa bwana mkatili na mfalme mkali atatawala juu yao,” asema Bwana, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
5 And they will be dried up waters from the sea and a river it will become dry and it will be dry.
Maji ya mito yatakauka, chini ya mto kutakauka kwa jua.
6 And they will stink [the] rivers they will be low and they will become dry [the] canals of Egypt reed[s] and rush[es] they will wither.
Mifereji itanuka; vijito vya Misri vitapungua na kukauka. Mafunjo na nyasi vitanyauka,
7 Reeds at [the] River at [the] mouth of [the] River and all [the] sown land of [the] River it will be dry it will be driven about and there not [will be] it.
pia mimea iliyoko kando ya Mto Naili, pale mto unapomwaga maji baharini. Kila shamba lililopandwa kando ya Mto Naili litakauka, litapeperushwa na kutoweka kabisa.
8 And they will lament the fishermen and they will mourn all [those who] cast in the River a fish hook and [those who] spread out a fishing net on [the] surface of [the] waters they will languish.
Wavuvi watalia na kuomboleza, wale wote watupao ndoano katika Mto Naili, watadhoofika kwa majonzi.
9 And they will be ashamed workers of flax combed and [those who] weave white cloth.
Wale watu wafanyao kazi ya kitani kilichochambuliwa watakata tamaa, wafumaji wa kitani safi watavunjika moyo.
10 And they will be foundations its crushed all [those who] work of wage[s] [will be] grieved of soul.
Wafanyao kazi ya kufuma nguo watahuzunishwa, nao vibarua wataugua moyoni.
11 [are] only Fools [the] officials of Zoan [the] wise [people] of [the] counselors of Pharaoh counsel foolish how? will you say to Pharaoh [am] a son of wise [people] I a son of kings of ancient time.
Maafisa wa Soani ni wapumbavu kabisa, washauri wa Farao wenye busara wanatoa ushauri wa kijinga. Unawezaje kumwambia Farao, “Mimi ni mmojawapo wa watu wenye hekima, mwanafunzi wa wafalme wa zamani”?
12 Where [are]? they then wise [people] your so they may tell please to you so they may know what? has he planned Yahweh of hosts on Egypt.
Wako wapi sasa watu wako wenye hekima? Wao wakuonyeshe na kukufahamisha ni nini Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote amepanga dhidi ya Misri.
13 They have become fools [the] officials of Zoan they have been deceived [the] officials of Memphis they have misled Egypt [the] corner of tribes its.
Maafisa wa Soani wamekuwa wapumbavu, viongozi wa Memfisi wamedanganyika, walio mawe ya pembe ya taifa lake wameipotosha Misri.
14 Yahweh he has mixed in midst its a spirit of confusion and they have misled Egypt in every deed its as is made to stagger a drunkard in vomit his.
Bwana amewamwagia roho ya kizunguzungu; wanaifanya Misri iyumbayumbe katika yale yote inayoyafanya, kama vile mlevi ayumbayumbavyo katika kutapika kwake.
15 And not it will be for Egypt a deed which it will do head and tail palm branch and bulrush.
Misri haiwezi kufanya kitu chochote, cha kichwa wala cha mkia, cha tawi la mtende wala cha tete.
16 In the day that it will be Egypt like women and it will tremble - and it will be in dread of [the] brandishing of [the] hand of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] brandishing on it.
Katika siku ile Wamisri watakuwa kama wanawake. Watatetemeka kwa hofu mbele ya mkono wa Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote anaoinua dhidi yao.
17 And it will become [the] land of Judah to Egypt an object of terror every [one] whom someone will bring to remembrance it to him he will be in dread because of [the] plan of Yahweh of hosts which he [is] planning on it.
Nayo nchi ya Yuda itawatia hofu Wamisri, kila mmoja atakayetajiwa Yuda ataingiwa na hofu, kwa sababu ya kile ambacho Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote anapanga dhidi yao.
18 In the day that they will be five cities in [the] land of Egypt speaking [the] language of Canaan and swearing an oath to Yahweh of hosts [the] city of Destruction it will be called of one.
Katika siku hiyo miji mitano ya Misri, itazungumza lugha ya Kanaani, na kuapa kumtii Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote. Mji mmojawapo utaitwa Mji wa Uharibifu.
19 In the day that it will be an altar to Yahweh in [the] middle of [the] land of Egypt and a pillar [will be] beside border its to Yahweh.
Katika siku hiyo patakuwepo madhabahu ya Bwana katikati ya Misri na mnara wa kumbukumbu kwa Bwana kwenye mpaka wa Misri.
20 And it will become a sign and a witness to Yahweh of hosts in [the] land of Egypt that they will cry out to Yahweh because of oppressors and he may send to them a deliverer and [one who] contends and he will rescue them.
Itakuwa alama na ushahidi kwa ajili ya Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote katika nchi ya Misri. Watakapomlilia Bwana kwa sababu ya watesi wao, Mungu atawapelekea mwokozi na mtetezi, naye atawaokoa.
21 And he will make himself known Yahweh to Egypt and they will know Egypt Yahweh in the day that and they will serve sacrifice and offering and they will vow a vow to Yahweh and they will pay [it].
Hivyo Bwana atajijulisha mwenyewe kwa Wamisri, nao katika siku hiyo watamkubali Bwana. Wataabudu kwa kumtolea dhabihu na sadaka za nafaka, watamwekea Bwana nadhiri na kuzitimiza.
22 And he will strike Yahweh Egypt striking and healing and they will turn to Yahweh and he will be entreated by them and he will heal them.
Bwana ataipiga Misri kwa tauni; atawapiga na kuwaponya. Watamgeukia Bwana, naye atayasikia maombi yao na kuwaponya.
23 In the day that it will be a highway from Egypt Assyria towards and it will go Assyria in Egypt and Egypt in Assyria and they will serve Egypt Assyria.
Katika siku hiyo kutakuwepo na njia kuu kutoka Misri hadi Ashuru. Waashuru watakwenda Misri, na Wamisri watakwenda Ashuru. Wamisri na Waashuru wataabudu pamoja.
24 In the day that it will be Israel a third to Egypt and to Assyria a blessing in [the] midst of the earth.
Katika siku hiyo Israeli itakuwa ya tatu, pamoja na Misri na Ashuru, nao watakuwa baraka kwa dunia.
25 Which he will bless it Yahweh of hosts saying [be] blessed people my Egypt and [the] work of hands my Assyria and inheritance my Israel.
Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote atawabariki, akisema, “Baraka iwe kwa Misri watu wangu, kwa Ashuru kazi ya mikono yangu, na kwa Israeli urithi wangu.”
