Isaiah 57
1 The righteous [person] he has perished and there not [is] anyone [who] puts on heart and people of loyalty [are] being removed when there not [is one who] understands that from before evil he is removed the righteous [person].
Mwenye haki hupotea, wala hakuna hata mmoja awazaye hilo moyoni mwake; watu wanaomcha Mungu huondolewa, wala hakuna hata mmoja anayeelewa kuwa wenye haki wameondolewa ili wasipatikane na maovu.
2 He will go peace they will rest on beds their [one who] walks uprightness his.
Wale waendao kwa unyofu huwa na amani; hupata pumziko walalapo mautini.
3 And you draw near hither O children of a soothsayer offspring adulterous and she has played [the] prostitute.
“Lakini ninyi: Njooni hapa, ninyi wana wa wachawi, ninyi wazao wa wazinzi na makahaba!
4 On whom? are you making fun on whom? do you make wide a mouth do you make long? a tongue ¿ not [are] you children of transgression of spring of deception.
Mnamdhihaki nani? Ni nani mnayemcheka kwa dharau, na kumtolea ndimi zenu? Je, ninyi si watoto wa waasi, uzao wa waongo?
5 Who inflame yourselves among the oaks under every tree luxuriant [who] slaughter children in the wadis under [the] clefts of the cliffs.
Mnawaka tamaa katikati ya mialoni na chini ya kila mti uliotanda matawi; mnawatoa kafara watoto wenu kwenye mabonde na chini ya majabali yenye mianya.
6 [is] among [the] smooth [stones] of [the] wadi Portion your they they [are] allotted portion your also to them you have poured out a drink offering you have offered up a grain offering ¿ on these [things] will I relent.
“Sanamu zilizo katikati ya mawe laini ya mabondeni ndizo fungu lenu; hizo ndizo sehemu yenu. Naam, kwa hizo mmemimina sadaka za vinywaji, na kutoa sadaka za nafaka. Katika haya yote, niendelee kuona huruma?
7 On a mountain high and lifted up you have set bed your also there you have gone up to sacrifice a sacrifice.
Umeweka kitanda chako juu kwenye kilima kirefu kilichoinuka, huko ulikwenda kutoa dhabihu zako.
8 And behind the door and the doorpost you have set up memorial your for from with me you have uncovered and you have gone up you have made wide bed your and you have cut off for yourself from them you have loved bed their a hand you have seen.
Nyuma ya milango yako na miimo yako umeweka alama zako za kipagani. Kwa kuniacha mimi, ulifunua kitanda chako, umepanda juu yake na kukipanua sana; ulifanya patano na wale ambao unapenda vitanda vyao, nawe uliangalia uchi wao.
9 And you journeyed to the king with oil and you increased perfumes your and you sent (envoys your *L(abh)*) to from a distance and you showed abasement to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Ulikwenda kwa Moleki ukiwa na mafuta ya zeituni, na ukaongeza manukato yako. Ukawatuma wajumbe wako mbali sana, ukashuka kwenye kaburi lenyewe! (Sheol h7585)
10 With [the] greatness of journey your you became weary not you said despairing [the] life of hand your you found there-fore not you became weak.
Ulikuwa umechoshwa na njia zako zote, lakini hukusema, ‘Hakuna tumaini.’ Ulipata uhuisho wa nguvu zako, kwa sababu hiyo hukuzimia.
11 And whom? did you dread and did you fear? that you will lie and me not you remembered not you put [it] on heart your ¿ not [am] I silent and from long ago and me not you fear.
“Ni nani uliyemhofu hivyo na kumwogopa hata ukawa mwongo kwangu, wala hukunikumbuka au kutafakari hili moyoni mwako? Si ni kwa sababu nimekuwa kimya muda mrefu hata huniogopi?
12 I I will declare righteousness your and deeds your and not they will benefit you.
Nitaifunua haki yako na matendo yako, nayo hayatakufaidi.
13 When cry out you let them deliver you collection your and all of them it will carry away a wind it will take [them] away a breath and the [one who] takes refuge in me he will inherit [the] land so he may possess [the] mountain of holiness my.
Utakapolia kwa kuhitaji msaada, sanamu zako ulizojikusanyia na zikuokoe! Upepo utazipeperusha zote, pumzi peke yake itazipeperusha, Lakini mtu atakayenifanya kimbilio lake, atairithi nchi na kuumiliki mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
14 And someone will say build up build up make clear [the] way lift up obstacle[s] from [the] way of people my.
Tena itasemwa: “Jengeni, jengeni, itengenezeni njia! Ondoeni vikwazo katika njia ya watu wangu.”
15 For thus he says [the] high [one] and [the] exalted [one] [the one who] dwells perpetuity and [is] holy name his a high place and a holy [place] I dwell and with a [person] contrite and a [person] lowly of spirit to restore [the] spirit of lowly [people] and to restore [the] heart of contrite [people].
Kwa maana hili ndilo asemalo Aliye juu, yeye aliyeinuliwa sana, yeye aishiye milele, ambaye jina lake ni Mtakatifu: “Ninaishi mimi mahali palipoinuka na patakatifu, lakini pia pamoja na yeye aliye na roho iliyotubu na mwenye roho ya unyenyekevu, ili kuzihuisha roho za wanyenyekevu na kuihuisha mioyo yao waliotubu.
16 For not for ever I will conduct a case and not to perpetuity I will be angry for spirit from to before me it will grow faint and breaths [which] I I made.
Sitaendelea kulaumu milele, wala sitakasirika siku zote, kwa kuwa roho ya mwanadamu ingezimia mbele zangu: yaani pumzi ya mwanadamu niliyemuumba.
17 In [the] iniquity of unjust gain his I was angry and I struck him I hid and I may be angry and he walked apostate in [the] way of own heart his.
Nilighadhibika na tamaa yake ya dhambi; nilimwadhibu, nikauficha uso wangu kwa hasira, na bado aliendelea katika njia zake za tamaa.
18 Ways his I have seen and I will heal him and I will lead him and I may restore comfort to him and to mourners his.
Nimeziona njia zake, lakini nitamponya, nitamwongoza na kumrudishia upya faraja,
19 [I am] about to create ([the] fruit *Q(K)*) Lips peace - peace to distant [person] and to near [person] he says Yahweh and I will heal him.
nikiumba sifa midomoni ya waombolezaji katika Israeli. Amani, amani, kwa wale walio mbali na kwa wale walio karibu,” asema Bwana. “Nami nitawaponya.”
20 And the wicked [people] [are] like the sea tossed for to be quiet not it is able and they have tossed up waters its mire and mud.
Bali waovu ni kama bahari ichafukayo, ambayo haiwezi kutulia, mawimbi yake hutupa takataka na matope.
21 Not peace he says God my [belongs] to wicked [people].
Mungu wangu asema, “Hakuna amani kwa waovu.”
