< Isaiah 54 >

1 Shout for joy O barren [woman] [who] not she has given birth break forth a shout of joy and cry aloud O [one who] not she has been in labor for [are] many [the] children of a desolate [woman] more than [the] children of a married [woman] he says Yahweh.
''Imba, ewe mwanamke tasa, ewe ambaye haujazaa; imba wimbo kwa furaha na lia kwa nguvu ewe ambaye hujapata uchungu wa kuzaa. Maana watoto walio katika ukiwa ni wengi kuliko watoto wa wanawake waliolewa,'' asema Yahwe.
2 Enlarge - [the] place of tent your and [the] tent curtains of dwellings your may people stretch out may not you refrain make long tent cords your and tent pegs your make strong.
Fanya hema lako kuwa kubwa na tawanya mapazia mbali, sio kidogo; nyoosha kamba zako na imarisha vigingi vyako.
3 For right and left you will spread out and offspring your nations he will take possession of and cities desolated they will cause to be inhabited.
Maana utawanjwa katika mkono wa kulia na wa kushoto, na ukoo wako utashinda mataifa na kuwapatia miji iliyo na ukiwa.
4 May not you be afraid for not you will be put to shame and may not you be ashamed for not you will display shame for [the] shame of youth your you will forget and [the] reproach of widowhood your not you will remember again.
Usiogope maana hautahaibika, wala kukatishwa tamaa maana hautapatwa na aibu; hutasahau aibu ya ujana wako na aibu ya kutelekezwa.
5 That husband your [is] maker your [is] Yahweh of hosts name his and [is] redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel [the] God of all the earth he is called.
Maana Muumba ni mume wako; Yahwe wa majeshi ndilo jina lake. Mtakatifu wa Israeli yeye ni mkombozi wenu; anaitwa Mungu wa nchi yote.
6 For like a wife abandoned and grieved of spirit he will call you Yahweh and a wife of youth if she is rejected he says God your.
Yahwe anakuita wew urudi kama mwanamke aliyetelekezwa na mwenye roho ya huzuni, kama mwanamke mdogo aliyeolewa na kukataliwa, asema Mungu.
7 For a moment small I abandoned you and in compassion great I will gather you.
''Kwa kipindi kifupi nimewatelekeza ninyi, lakini kwa huruma kubwa nitawakusanya ninyi.
8 In a flood of wrath I hid face my a moment from you and in covenant loyalty of perpetuity I will have compassion on you he says redeemer your Yahweh.
Katika gharikia ya hasira nimeuficha uso wangu kwa muda. lakini kwa agano la milele la kuaminika nitakuwa na huruma na ninyi- amesema Yahwe, aliyewakomboa ninyi.
9 For [is] [the] water of Noah this to me which I swore from passing [the] waters of Noah again over the earth so I swear from being angry towards you and from rebuking you.
Maana haya ni kama Nuhu kwangu: kama nilivyoapa maji ya Nuhu hayuatapita tena katika nchi, Hivyo nimeapa kwama sitapatwa na hasira na ninyi wala kuwakemea ninji.
10 That the mountains they will be removed and the hills they will shake and covenant loyalty my from with you not it will be removed and [the] covenant of peace my not it will shake he says [one who] has compassion on you Yahweh.
Japo milima yaweza kuanguka na vilima vyaweza kutikiswa, japo uimara wa pendo langu hautageuka nyuma kutoka kwenu, wala agano langu la amani kutikiswa- asema Yahwe, Yeye mwenye huruma juu yenu.
11 O afflicted [one] it is storm tossed not it has been comforted here! I [am] about to set in antimony stones your and I will refound you with sapphires.
Wanaotaabika, wanaopitia dhoruba na wasio na faraja, tazama, nitaweka lami kwa rangi nzuri, na kuweka misingi kwa yakuti.
12 And I will make ruby battlements your and gates your stones of beryl and all border your stones of delight.
Nitaufanya mnara wa akiki na lango yake ya almasi na kuta zake za nje ni za mawe mazuri.
13 And all children your [will be] taught of Yahweh and [will be] great [the] peace of children your.
Na watoto wako wote watafundishwa na Yahwe; na amani ya watoto wako itakuwakubwa.
14 In righteousness you will be established be distant from oppression for not you will be afraid and from terror for not it will draw near to you.
Katika haki nitakuanzisha tena. Hautaona dhiki tena, maana hautaogopa, na hakuna kitu cha kutisha kitakachokuja karibu yako.
15 There! certainly anyone will quarrel not from me whoever [is] quarreling with you on you he will fall.
Tazama, ikiwa yeyote atakaye koroga matatizo, hayatako kwangu; yeyote atakaye changanya matatizo pamaoja na wewe ataanguka kwa kishindo.
16 (Here! *Q(K)*) I I created a craftsman [who] blows on a fire of charcoal and [who] produces a weapon for work its and I I created a destroyer to ruin.
Tazama, nimemumba fundi, anayepuliza makaa yanayoungua na na kuanda a silsha kama kazi yake, na nimemumba mharibifu ili awaharibu.
17 Any weapon [which] it will be formed on you not it will succeed and every tongue [which] it will arise with you to judgment you will condemn as guilty this [is] [the] inheritance of [the] servants of Yahweh and righteousness their from with me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Hakuna silaha iliyotengenezwa dhidi yako ikafanikiwa; na utamlaani kila mmjoa anayekutusi wewe. Huu ndio urithi wa watumishi wa Yahwe, na uthibitisho wake kutoka kwangu- Hili ndilo tamko la Yahwe.''
