Isaiah 29
1 Wo! Ariel, Ariel, the citee which Dauid ouercam; yeer is addid to yeer, solempnytees ben passyd.
Ole kwa Arieli, Arieli, mji ambao Daudi ameweka kambi! mwaka hadi mwaka unaongezeka; basi tamasha linakaribia kuja.
2 And Y schal cumpasse Ariel, and it schal be soreuful and morenynge; and Jerusalem schal be to me as Ariel.
Lakini nitauzingira Arieli, na watalia na kuomboleza; na watakuwa kwangu kama Arieli.
3 And Y schal cumpasse as a round trendil in thi cumpasse, and Y schal caste erthe ayens thee, and Y schal sette engynes in to thi bisegyng.
Nitaweka kambi dhidi yako katika mzunguko, nitakuzingira kwa kuweka uzio dhidi yako.
4 Thou schalt be maad low, thou schalt speke of erthe, and thi speche schal be herd fro the erthe; and thi vois schal be as the vois of a deed man reisid bi coniuring, and thi speche schal ofte grutche of the erthe.
Utaletwa chini na utazungumza kutoka chini kwenye aridhi; maongezi yako yatashushwa kutoka mavumbini. Sauti yako itakuwa kama ya pepo kwenye ardhi, na maneno yako yatakuwa dhaifu kutoka mavumbini.
5 And the multitude of hem that wyndewen thee, schal be as thynne dust; and the multitude of hem that hadden the maistrie ayens thee, schal be as a deed sparcle passynge.
Jeshi la maadui wako watakuwa kama vumbi dogo, na wingi wa wasiotisha utakuwa kama makapi yanayopita. Itatokea mara moja, papo hapo.
6 And it schal be sudenli, anoon it schal be visitid of the Lord of oostis, in thundur, and in mouyng of the erthe, and in greet vois of whirlwynd, and of tempest, and of flawme of fier deuowrynge.
Yahwe wa majeshi atakuja kwenu kwa radi, tetemeko la aridhi, sauti kubwa, na upepo mkali na dhoruba kali, na mwali wa moto uteketezao.
7 And the multitude of alle folkis that fouyten ayens Ariel schal be as the dreem of a nyytis visioun; and alle men that fouyten, and bisegiden, and hadden the maistrie ayens it.
Itakuwa kama ndoto, maono ya usiku: Jeshi la mataifa yote yatapigana dhidi ya Arieli na ngome zake. Watawavamia yeye na ngome zinazowanyanyasa wao.
8 And as an hungry man dremyth, and etith, but whanne he is awakid, his soule is voide; and as a thirsti man dremeth, and drynkith, and after that he is awakid, he is weri, and thirstith yit, and his soule is voide, so schal be the multitude of alle folkis, that fouyten ayens the hil of Sion.
Itakuwa kama mtu mwenye njaa anayeota anakula, lakini pindi anapoamka tumbo halina kitu. Itakuwa kama mtu mwenye kiu anayeota anakunywa maji, lakini anapoamka, anazirai, kwa sababu ya kiu na sio kuizima. Ndio, itakavyokuwa idadi kubwa ya wapiganaji dhidi ya Mlima Sayuni.
9 Be ye astonyed, and wondre; wake ye, and douyte ye; be ye drunken, and not of wyn; be ye moued, and not with drunkenesse.
Shangaeni wenyewe na mjishangae; jifanye kipofu na uwe kipofu! uwe mlevi lakini sio wa mvinyo; yumbayumba lakini sio kwa bia.
10 For the Lord hath meddlid to you the spirit of sleep; he schal close youre iyen, and schal hile youre profetis, and princes that sien visiouns.
Maana Yahwe ameachila roho wake katika usingizi wa kina, Ameyafunga macho yako, manabii, na amefunika kichwa chako, waonaji.
11 And the visioun of alle profetis schal be to you as the wordis of a book aseelid; which whanne thei schulen yyue to hym that kan lettris, thei schulen seie, Rede thou this book; and he schal answere, Y may not, for it is aseelid.
Ufunuo wote umekuja kwako kama maneno ya kitabu kilichotiwa muhuri, ambacho watu wanaweza kumpa mtu anayejifunza, na kusema hivi, ''Soma hiki.'' na atasema, ''Siwezi maana imetiwa muhuri.''
12 And the book schal be youun to him that kan not lettris, and it schal be seid to hym, Rede thou; and he schal answere, Y kan no lettris.
Kama kitabu kitapewa kwa mtu asiyeweza kusoma, na kumwambia, '''Soma hiki,'' na anasema, ''Siwezi kusoma.''
13 And the Lord seide, For that this puple neiyeth with her mouth, and glorifieth me with her lippis, but her herte is fer fro me; and thei dredden me for the comaundement and techyngis of men, therfor lo!
Bwana asema, ''Watu hawa wananikaribia mimi na kunishimu kwa midomo yao, lakini mioyo yao iko mbalii na mimi. Heshima yao kwangu ni kwa sababu tu ya amri waliofundishwa.
14 Y schal adde, that Y make wondryng to this puple, in a greet myracle and wondurful; for whi wisdom schal perische fro wise men therof, and the vndurstondyng of prudent men therof schal be hid.
Hivyo basi, tazama, Nitaendelea kufanya mambo ya ajabu mwiongoni mwa watu hawa, maajabu baada ya maajabu. Hekima ya wenye busara itatoweka, na uelewa wa watu wenye busara utatokomea.''
15 Wo to you that ben hiye of herte, that ye hide counsel fro the Lord; the werkis of whiche ben in derknessis, and thei seien, Who seeth vs, and who knowith vs?
Ole wao wale wanaoficha mipango yao kwa Yahwe, na wale ambao matendo yao ni ya giza. Wanasema, ''Nani anayetuona sisi, na ni nani anayetutambua sisi?
16 This thouyt of you is weiward, as if cley thenke ayens a pottere, and the werk seie to his makere, Thou madist not me; and a thing `that is maad, seie to his makere, Thou vndurstondist not.
Nyie mnaebadilisha vitu juu chini! Je mfinyanzi anaweza kufikiriwa kama udongo, hivyo basi vitu vinavyotengeneza vitasema kuhusu aliyevitengeneza, ''Hajanitengeneza mimi, ''au vitu vinavyotngenezwa viseme kuhusu aliyevitengeneza, Hajaelewa''?
17 Whether not yit in a litil time and schort the Liban schal be turned in to Chermel, and Chermel schal be arettid in to the forest?
Katika mda mdogo uliobakia, Lebanoni itajeuzwa kuwa shamba, na shamba litakuwa msitu.
18 And in that dai deef men schulen here the wordis of the book, and the iyen of blynde men schulen se fro derknessis and myisty;
Siku hiyo viziwi watasikia maneno ya kitabu, na macho ya vipofu yataona katika giza nene.
19 and mylde men schulen encreesse gladnesse in the Lord, and pore men schulen make ful out ioie in the hooli of Israel.
Waliodhulumiwa watafuurahia pamoja na Yahwe, na masikini miongoni mwa watu watafurahia kwa Mtakatifu wa Israeli.
20 For he that hadde the maistrie, failide, and the scornere is endid, and alle thei ben kit doun that walkiden on wickidnesse;
Maana watu wasio katili watakwisha, na wenye dharau watatoweka. Wale wote wanopendakuteda maovu wataondolewa,
21 whiche maden men to do synne in word, and disseyueden a repreuere in the yate, and bowiden awey in veyn fro a iust man.
nani na kwa neno linamfanya mtu kuwa mkosaji. Watamuekea mtego kwa yeye anayeitafuta haki katika geti na kuweka haki chini kwa uongo usio na kitu.
22 For this thing the Lord, that ayen bouyte Abraham, seith these thingis to the hous of Jacob, Jacob schal not be confoundid now, nether now his cheer schal be aschamed; but whanne he schal se hise sones,
Hivyo basi Yahwe asema hivi kuhusu nyumba ya Yakobo- Yahwe aliyemkomboa Ibrahimu, ''Yakobo hataaibika tena, wala uso wake hautabadilika rangi yake.
23 the werkis of myn hondis, halewynge my name in the myddis of hym. And thei schulen halewe the hooli of Jacob, and thei schulen preche God of Israel;
Lakini anapowaona watoto wake, kazi ya mikono yangu, watalitakasa jina langu, Watalitakasa jina langu Mtakatifu wa Yakobo, na wtasimama katika hofu ya Mungu wa Israeli.
24 and thei that erren in spirit, schulen knowe vndurstondyng, and idil men schulen lerne the lawe.
Wale watakaopotea kiroho watapata uelewa na walalamikaji watajifunza maarifa.''
