Isaiah 24
1 Here! Yahweh [is] about to lay waste the earth and [is] about to devastate it and he will twist surface its and he will scatter inhabitants its.
Tazama, Bwana ataifanya dunia kuwa ukiwa na kuiharibu, naye atauharibu uso wake na kutawanya wakaao ndani yake:
2 And it will be as the people as the priest as the servant as master his as the maidservant as mistress her as the buyer as the seller as the lender as the borrower as the creditor as [the one] who a creditor [is] in him.
ndivyo itakavyokuwa kwa makuhani na kwa watu, kwa bwana na kwa mtumishi, kwa bibi na kwa mtumishi wake wa kike, kwa muuzaji na kwa mnunuzi, kwa mkopaji na kwa mkopeshaji, kwa mdaiwa na kwa mdai.
3 Certainly - it will be laid waste the earth and certainly - it will be plundered for Yahweh he has spoken the word this.
Dunia itaharibiwa kabisa na kutekwa nyara kabisa. Bwana amesema neno hili.
4 It has dried up it has withered the earth it has languished it has withered [the] world they have languished [the] noble[s] of [the] people of the earth.
Dunia inakauka na kunyauka, dunia inanyongʼonyea na kunyauka, waliotukuzwa wa dunia wananyongʼonyea.
5 And the earth it has been polluted under inhabitants its for they have transgressed laws they have overstepped [the] decree they have broken [the] covenant of perpetuity.
Dunia imetiwa unajisi na watu wake; wameacha kutii sheria, wamevunja amri na kuvunja agano la milele.
6 There-fore a curse it has consumed [the] earth and they have been held guilty [the] inhabitants in it there-fore they have diminished [the] inhabitants of [the] earth and it will be left humankind of smallness.
Kwa hiyo laana inaiteketeza dunia, watu wake lazima waichukue hatia yao. Kwa hiyo wakazi wa dunia wameteketezwa, nao waliosalia ni wachache sana.
7 It has dried up new wine it has languished [the] vine they have groaned all [the people] joyful of heart.
Divai mpya inakauka na mzabibu unanyauka, watu wote wafurahishao wanalia kwa huzuni.
8 It has ceased [the] gaiety of tambourines it has stopped [the] uproar of jubilant [people] it has ceased [the] gaiety of [the] harp.
Furaha ya matoazi imekoma, kelele za wenye furaha zimekoma, shangwe za kinubi zimenyamaza.
9 With song not people will drink wine it will be bitter strong drink to [those who] drink it.
Hawanywi tena mvinyo pamoja na wimbo, kileo ni kichungu kwa wanywaji wake.
10 It has been broken [the] town of formlessness it has been shut up every house from entering.
Mji ulioharibiwa umekuwa ukiwa, mlango wa kila nyumba umefungwa.
11 An outcry on wine [will be] in the streets it has become evening all gladness it has departed [the] gaiety of the earth.
Barabarani wanalilia kupata mvinyo, furaha yote imegeuka kuwa majonzi, furaha yote imefukuziwa mbali na dunia.
12 It has remained in the city desolation and ruin it will be crushed [the] gate.
Mji umeachwa katika uharibifu, lango lake limevunjwa vipande.
13 For thus it will be in [the] midst of the earth in among the peoples like [the] beating of an olive tree like gleanings if it has come to an end [the] grape harvest.
Ndivyo itakavyokuwa duniani na miongoni mwa mataifa, kama vile wakati mzeituni upigwavyo, au kama vile wakati masazo yabakiavyo baada ya zabibu kuvunwa.
14 They they will lift up voice their they will shout for joy in [the] majesty of Yahweh they will cry aloud from [the] west.
Wanainua sauti zao, wanapiga kelele kwa furaha, kutoka magharibi wanasifu kwa ukelele utukufu wa Bwana.
15 There-fore in the east glorify Yahweh in [the] islands of the sea [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
Kwa hiyo upande wa mashariki mpeni Bwana utukufu, liadhimisheni jina la Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, katika visiwa vya bahari.
16 From [the] extremity of the earth songs we have heard splendor [belongs] to the righteous [one] and I said leanness [belongs] to me leanness [belongs] to me woe! to me [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously and treachery [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously.
Kutoka miisho ya dunia tunasikia uimbaji: “Utukufu kwa Yule Mwenye Haki.” Lakini nilisema, “Ninadhoofika, ninadhoofika! Ole wangu! Watenda hila wanasaliti! Kwa hila watenda hila wanasaliti!”
17 Dread and pit and snare [are] on you O inhabitant of the earth.
Hofu, shimo na mtego vinakungojea, ewe mtu ukaaye duniani.
18 And it will be the [one who] flees from [the] sound of the dread he will fall into the pit and the [one who] goes up from [the] midst of the pit he will be caught in snare for windows from a high place they have been opened and they have shaken [the] foundations of [the] earth.
Kila akimbiaye asikiapo sauti ya hofu atatumbukia shimoni, naye yeyote apandaye kutoka shimoni, atanaswa kwenye mtego. Malango ya gharika ya mbinguni yamefunguliwa, misingi ya dunia inatikisika.
19 Utterly it has been broken the earth utterly it has been split through [the] earth certainly it has been shaken [the] earth.
Dunia imepasuka, dunia imechanika, dunia imetikiswa kabisa.
20 Wildly it will stagger [the] earth like drunkard and it will sway like hut and it will be heavy on it transgression its and it will fall and not it will repeat to rise.
Dunia inapepesuka kama mlevi, inayumbayumba kama kibanda kwenye upepo; imelemewa sana na mzigo wa hatia ya uasi wake na ikianguka kamwe haitainuka tena.
21 And it will be in the day that he will visit [judgment] Yahweh on [the] host of the height in the height[s] and on [the] kings of the earth on the earth.
Katika siku ile Bwana ataadhibu nguvu zilizoko mbinguni juu, na wafalme walioko duniani chini.
22 And they will be gathered a gathering prisoner[s] to a pit and they will be shut up at a prison and from an abundance of days they will be visited.
Watakusanywa pamoja kama wafungwa waliofungwa gerezani, watafungiwa gerezani na kuadhibiwa baada ya siku nyingi.
23 And it will be abashed the moon and it will be ashamed the sun for he will reign Yahweh of hosts on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem and before elders his glory.
Mwezi utatiwa haya, nalo jua litaaibishwa; kwa maana Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote atawala juu ya Mlima Sayuni na katika Yerusalemu, tena mbele ya wazee wake kwa utukufu.
