Isaiah 51
1 Listen to me O [those who] pursue righteousness [those who] seek Yahweh look to [the] rock [which] you were dug and to [the] excavation of [the] pit [which] you were dug out.
Nisikilizeni mimi, enyi mtendao haki, enyi mtafutaye Yahwe: Tazama katika mwamba uliouchonga nakuchimba kutoka pale ulipopakata.
2 Look to Abraham ancestor your and to Sarah [who] she gave birth to you if one [person] I called him and I blessed him and I multiplied him.
Mtazameni Ibrahimu, baba yenu, na Sara, aliyewazaa ninyi; maan alipokuwa na upweke yeye mwenyewe, Nilimuita yeye. Nikambariki yeye na kumfanya yeye kuwa wengi.
3 For he will comfort Yahweh Zion he will comfort all waste places its and he made wilderness its like Eden and desert plain its like [the] garden of Yahweh joy and gladness it will be found in it thanksgiving and [the] sound of music.
Ndio, Yahwe ataifariji Sayuni; Ataifariji miji yake yote iliyo na ukiwa; jangwa lake atalifanya kama Edeni, na jangwa lililo wazi pembeni ya bonde la mto Yordani kama bustani ya Yahwe; Furaha na shangwe vitakuwa kwake, shukrani, na sauti ya kuimba.
4 Pay attention to me O people my and O nation my to me give ear for law from with me it will go out and justice my a light of peoples I will make suddenly.
''Kuwa makini kwangu, watu wangu; na nisikilizeni mimi, watu wangu! Maana nitatoa amri, na nitaifanya haki yangu kuwa sheria ya mataifa.
5 [is] near Righteousness my it has gone out salvation my and arms my peoples they will judge to me islands they will wait and to arm my they will hope!
Haki yangu ipo karibu; wokovu wangu utaenda nje, na mikono yangu itahihukumu mataifa; Pwani itanisubiri mimi; maana wanashauku ya kuhusubiria mkono wangu.
6 Lift up to the heavens eyes your and look to the earth beneath for [the] heavens like smoke they will be dispersed and the earth like garment it will wear out and inhabitants its like gnat[s] they will die! and salvation my for ever it will be and righteousness my not it will be broken.
Nyanyueni macho yanu juu angani, na tazama nchi chini, maana mbingu zitatoweka mbali kama moshi, na nchi itachakaa kama vazi, na wenyeji wake watakufa kama inzi. Lakini wokovu wangu utaendelea daima, na haki yangu haitaacha kutenda kazi.
7 Listen to me O [those who] know righteousness a people [which] law my [is] in heart their may not you fear [the] reproach of humankind and from reviling words their may not you be dismayed.
Nisikizeni mimi, enyi mnaotambua ukweli, enyi watu wangu mliobeba sheria yangu katika mioyo yenu: Msiogope matusi ya watu, wala kukatishwa tamaa na unyanyasaji wao.
8 For like garment it will eat them moth and like wool it will eat them clothes-moth and righteousness my for ever it will be and salvation my to a generation of generations.
Maana Nonda watawala wao kama vazi, na minyoo itawala wao kama sufu; lakini haki yangu itakwa daima, na wokovu wangu katika vizazi vyote.''
9 Awake awake put on strength O arm of Yahweh awake like days of antiquity generations of antiquiti ¿ not [are] you she who cut in pieces Rahab [who] pierced [the] sea monster.
Amka, amka, jivishe wewe mwenyewe kwa nguvu, mkono wa Yahwe. Amka kama siku za zamani, kizazi cha nyaktii za kale, Je sio wewe uliyeangamiza mnyama wa baharini, na uliyemchoma joka?
10 ¿ Not [are] you she who dried up [the] sea [the] water of [the] deep great who made [the] depths of [the] sea a way to pass over redeemed [people].
Je haukukausha bahari, maji ya kina kirefu, na kufanya kina cha bahari kuwa nija ya ukombozi kupita?
11 And [the] [people] ransomed of Yahweh they will return! and they will come Zion with a shout of joy and gladness of perpetuity [will be] on head their joy and gladness they will overtake [them]! they will flee sorrow and sighing.
Fidia ya Yahwe itarudi na kwenda Sayuni kwa kilio cha furaha na furaha ya milele itakuwa katika vichwa vyao, na huzuni na kuomboleza vitatoweka mbali.
12 I I [am] he [who] comforts you who? [are] you and you have been afraid from a person [who] he dies and from a child of humankind [who] grass he is made.
''Mimi, mimi ndiye niwapae faraja. Kwa nini uwaogope watu, ambao wanakufa, watatoto wa wanadamu, waliofanywa kama majani?
13 And you have forgotten Yahweh [who] made you [who] stretched out [the] heavens and [who] founded [the] earth and you have been in dread continually all the day of [the] anger of the oppressor when he has prepared to destroy and where? [is] [the] anger of the oppressor.
Kwa nini umemsahau Yahwe Muumba, yeye azinyooshayembingu na kuweka misingi ya nchi? Nyie ambao mna hofu za mara kwa mara kila siku kwa sababu ya hasira ya moto ya wanyanyasaji anapo fanya maamuzi ya kuangamiza. Iko wapi hasira ya wanyanyasaji?
14 He will hasten [one who] stoops to be let loose and not he will die to the pit and not he will lack food his.
Yeye aliyeinama chini, Yahwe atafanya haraka kumuachia; hatakufa wala kwenda chini katika shimo, wala hatakosa mkate.
15 And I [am] Yahweh God your [who] stirs up the sea and they roared waves its [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
Maana Yahwe Mungu wenu, anaye ifanya bahari itembee, hivyo mawimbi yake yavume kwa kishindo- Yahwe wa majeshi ndilo jina lake.
16 And I have put words my in mouth your and with [the] shadow of hand my I have covered you to plant [the] heavens and to found [the] earth and to say to Zion [are] people my you.
Niweka maneno yangu mdomoni mwako, na nimekufunika wewe kwa kivuli cha mkono wangu, ili niweze kupanda mbingu, kuweka misingi ya nchi, na kutamkia Sayuni, 'ninyi ni watu wangu.''
17 Rouse yourself rouse yourself arise O Jerusalem who you have drunk from [the] hand of Yahweh [the] cup of anger his [the] bowl of [the] cup of staggering you have drunk you have drained.
Amka, amka, simama juu, Yerusalemu, ewe unyweae katika kikombe cha hasira ya Yahwe kutoka mkononi mwako; umekunjwa katika kikombe, kikombe cha mateso, na umekunjwa na kumaliza.
18 There not [is one who] leads her of all [the] children [whom] she has borne and there not [is one who] takes hold on hand her from all [the] children [whom] she has brought up.
Hakuna hata mmoja miongoni mwa watoto aliyewazaa wa kumuongoza yeye; hakuna hata mmoja miongoni mwa wote aliyewalea wa kumshika mkono wake.
19 Two [things] they [have] happened to you who? does he show sympathy to you the devastation and the destruction and the famine and the sword who? do I comfort you.
Shida hizi mbili ziliwatokea ninyi- ni nani atahuzunika pamja nanyi? - ukiwa na uharibifu, na njaa na upanga. Ni nani atakayekufariji wewe?
20 Children your they have become faint they have lain down at [the] head of all [the] streets like an antelope of a net which [are] full [the] anger of Yahweh [the] rebuke of God your.
Watoto wako walizimia; walilala kila kona ya mtaa, kama swala kwenye mtego; Wamejawa na hasira ya Yahwe, Laana ya Mungu wako.
21 Therefore hear please this O afflicted [one] and O drunken [one] and not from wine.
Lakini sasa sikiliza hili, ewe uliodhulumiwa na kulewa, lakini sio kwa mvinyo:
22 Thus he says lord your Yahweh and God your [who] he conducts a case for people his here! I have taken from hand your [the] cup of staggering [the] bowl of [the] cup of anger my not you will repeat to drink it again.
Bwana wenu Yahwe Mungu, anayewasihi watu wake, asema hivi, ''Tazama, Nimechukua kikombe cha ukubwa mkononi mwako- ukubwa wa kikombe cha hasira yangu - ili usiweze kunjwa tena.
23 And I will put it in [the] hand of [those who] torment you who they said to self your lie down so let us pass over [you] and you made like the ground back your and like the street for [those who] pass over.
Nitakuweka kwenye mikono ya watesaji, wale waliokuambia wewe, Lala chini, ili tutembee juu yako'; wameufanya mgongo wako kama uwanjwa na kama wao wa.''
