< Isaiah 45 >
1 Thus he says Yahweh to anointed his to Cyrus whom I have taken hold on right [hand] his to subdue before him nations and [the] loins of kings I will loosen to open before him doors and gates not they will 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 you I will go and [the] mountainous land (I will make smooth *Q(K)*) doors of bronze I will break and bars of iron I will cut through.
''Nitakwenda mbele yako na kusawazisha milima; nitavunjavunja vipandevivande milango ya shaba na kukuta vipandevipande nguzo za chuma,
3 And I will give to you treasures of darkness and hidden treasures of secret places so that you may know that I [am] Yahweh who calls by name your [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 servant my Jacob and Israel chosen one my and I summoned you by name your I will give a title you and not you know 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 not [is] yet besides me there not [is] a god I will gird you and not you know me.
Mimi ni Yahwe na hapana mwingine; hakuna Mungu ila mimi. Nitakuimarisha katika vita, japo hamkunifamu mimi;
6 So that they may know from [the] rising of [the] sun (and from setting place its *LAH(b)*) that nothing [is] apart from me I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet.
kwamba watu wajue kutoka mapambazuko ya jua, na kutoka magharibi, kwamba hakuna mungu mwngine ila mimi: Mimi ni Yahwe, na hakuna mwingine.
7 [who] forms Light and [who] creates darkness [who] brings about well-being and [who] creates calamity I [am] Yahweh [who] does all these [things].
Nimefanya mwanga na nimeumba giza; Ninanateta amani na ninaumba majanga; Mimi Yahwe, nifanyae haya yote.
8 Drip down O heaven above and clouds let them flow righteousness let it open up [the] earth so they may bear fruit salvation and righteousness let it cause to sprout together I Yahweh I 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 Woe to! [one who] contends with [the one who] formed him a potsherd with potsherds of [the] ground ¿ does it say clay to [the one who] forms it what? are you making and work your not hands [belong] to him.
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 Woe to! [one who] says to a father what? are you fathering and to a woman what? are you in labor with!
Ole wake asemae kwa baba, 'Unanizaa nini? au kwa mwanamke, 'unanizaa mimi nin?'
11 Thus he says Yahweh [the] holy [one] of Israel and [the] [one who] formed it the coming [things] ask me on children my and on [the] work of hands my you 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 I made [the] earth and humankind on it I created I hands my they stretched out [the] heavens and all host their I commanded.
Nimeifanya nchi na kuumba mtu juu yake. Ni mkono yangu mimi nilioinyoosha ju ya mbingu, na nikazimuru nyota zote kutokea.
13 I I have stirred up him in righteousness and all ways his I will make smooth he he will build city my and exile[s] my he will let go not for hire and not for a bribe he says 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 - he says Yahweh [the] produce of Egypt and [the] traffic of Cush and [the] Sabeans people of stature to you they will pass over and to you they will belong behind you they will walk in fetters they will pass over and to you they will bow down to you they will pray surely [is] among you God and there not [is] yet there not [are] gods.
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 Truly you [are] a God [who] hides himself O God of Israel deliverer.
Hakika mna Mungu aliyejifisha ndani yenu, Mungu wa Israeli, Mkombozi.
16 They will be ashamed and also they will be put to shame all of them alike they will walk in ignominy craftsmen of images.
Wote wataabishwa na kuzaraliwa kwa pamoja; wale wachongao sanamu watatembea katika udhalilishaji.
17 Israel it has been saved by Yahweh a salvation of everlastingness not you will be ashamed and not you will be put to shame until everlastingness of perpetuity.
Lakini Israeli itakombolewa na Yahwe kawa wokovu wa milele; na wala hautaabika tena au kudhalilishwa.
18 For thus he says Yahweh [who] created the heavens he [is] God [who] formed the earth and [who] made it he he established it not a wasteland he created it to dwell in he formed it I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet.
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 secrecy I spoke in a place of a land of darkness not I said to [the] offspring of Jacob emptiness seek me I Yahweh [am] speaking righteousness [I am] declaring uprightness.
Sijaongea katika siri, katika maeneo ya siri; Sijauambia ukoo wa Daudi, 'Nitafute bure! Mimi ni Yahwe ninayezungumza ukweli; Ninatangaza vitu vilivyo vya kweli.
20 Gather together and come draw near together O fugitives of the nations not they know those [who] carry [the] wood of idol their and [those who] pray to a god [which] not it will 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 Declare and bring near also let them take counsel together who? did he proclaim this from antiquity from then did he declare? it ¿ not [was it] I Yahweh and there not again [is] a god except me [is] a God righteous and a deliverer there not 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 to me and be saved O all [the] ends of [the] earth for I [am] God and there not [is] yet.
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 I swear it goes forth from mouth my righteousness a word and not it will return that to me it will bow down every knee it will swear every tongue.
'kwangu kila goti litapigwa, na kila ulimi utakiri.
24 Only [are] in Yahweh of me anyone will say righteousness and strength to him everyone will go and they may be ashamed all those [who] are angry with him.
Wataniambia mimi, Ni katika Yahwe peke yake kuna wokovu na nguvu.'' wataaibika wale wote wenye hasira na Mungu.
25 By Yahweh they will be justified and they may boast all [the] offspring of Israel.
Katika Yahwe makabila yote ya Israeli yataalalishwa; watachukua kiburi katika yeye.
