< Isaiah 32 >
1 Lo! the kyng schal regne in riytfulnesse, and princes schulen be souereyns in doom.
Tazama, mfalme atatawala kwa uadilifu na watawala watatawala kwa haki.
2 And a man schal be, as he that is hid fro wynd, and hidith hym silf fro tempest; as stremes of watris in thirst, and the schadewe of a stoon stondynge fer out in a desert lond.
Kila mtu atakuwa kama kivuli cha kujificha kutokana na upepo na kimbilio kutokana na dhoruba, kama vijito vya maji jangwani na kivuli cha mwamba mkubwa katika ardhi yenye kiu.
3 The iyen of profetis schulen not dasewe, and the eeris of heereris schulen herke diligentli;
Ndipo macho ya wale wanaoona hayatafumbwa tena, nayo masikio ya wale wanaosikia yatasikiliza.
4 and the herte of foolis schal vndurstonde kunnyng, and the tunge of stuttynge men schal speke swiftli, and pleynli.
Moyo wa mtu mwenye hamaki utafahamu na kuelewa, nao ulimi wenye kigugumizi utanena kwa ufasaha.
5 He that is vnwijs, schal no more be clepid prince, and a gileful man schal not be clepid the grettere.
Mpumbavu hataitwa tena muungwana, wala mtu mbaya kabisa kupewa heshima ya juu.
6 Forsothe a fool shal speke foli thingis, and his herte schal do wickidnesse, that he performe feynyng, and speke to the Lord gilefuli; and he schal make voide the soule of an hungry man, and schal take awei drynke fro a thirsti man.
Kwa kuwa mpumbavu hunena upumbavu, moyo wake hushughulika na uovu: Hutenda mambo yasiyo ya kumcha Mungu, na hueneza habari za makosa kuhusu Bwana; yeye huwaacha wenye njaa bila kitu, na wenye kiu huwanyima maji.
7 The vessels of a gileful man ben worste; for he schal make redi thouytis to leese mylde men in the word of a leesyng, whanne a pore man spak doom.
Taratibu za mtu mbaya kabisa ni ovu, hufanya mipango miovu ili kumwangamiza maskini kwa uongo, hata wakati ambapo hoja za mhitaji ni za haki.
8 Forsothe a prince schal thenke tho thingis that ben worthi to a prince, and he schal stonde ouer duykis.
Lakini mtu muungwana hufanya mipango ya kiungwana, na kwa matendo ya kiungwana yeye hufanikiwa.
9 Riche wymmen, rise ye, and here my vois; douytris tristynge, perseyue ye with eeris my speche.
Enyi wanawake wenye kuridhika sana, amkeni na mnisikilize. Enyi binti mnaojisikia kuwa salama, sikieni lile ninalotaka kuwaambia!
10 For whi aftir daies and a yeer, and ye that tristen schulen be disturblid; for whi vyndage is endid, gaderyng schal no more come.
Muda zaidi kidogo ya mwaka mmoja, ninyi mnaojisikia salama mtatetemeka, mavuno ya zabibu yatakoma na mavuno ya matunda hayatakuwepo.
11 Ye riche wymmen, be astonyed; ye that tristen, be disturblid; vnclothe ye you, and be ye aschamed;
Tetemekeni, enyi wanawake wenye kuridhika, tetemekeni kwa hofu, enyi binti mnaojisikia salama! Vueni nguo zenu, vaeni nguo ya gunia viunoni mwenu.
12 girde youre leendis; weile ye on brestis, on desirable cuntrei, on the plenteuouse vyner.
Pigeni matiti yenu kwa ajili ya mashamba mazuri, kwa ajili ya mizabibu iliyozaa vizuri
13 Thornes and breris schulen stie on the erthe of my puple; hou myche more on alle the housis of ioie of the citee makynge ful out ioie?
na kwa ajili ya nchi ya watu wangu, nchi ambayo miiba na michongoma imemea: naam, ombolezeni kwa ajili ya nyumba zote za furaha na kwa ajili ya mji huu wenye kufanya sherehe.
14 For whi the hous is left, the multitude of the citee is forsakun; derknessis and gropyng ben maad on dennes, `til in to with outen ende. The ioie of wield assis is the lesewe of flockis;
Ngome itaachwa, mji wenye kelele nyingi utahamwa, ngome ndani ya mji na mnara wa ulinzi vitakuwa ukiwa milele, mahali pazuri pa punda na malisho ya makundi ya kondoo,
15 til the spirit be sched out on us fro an hiy, and the desert schal be in to Chermel, and Chermel schal be arettid in to a forest.
mpaka Roho amwagwe juu yetu kutoka juu, nalo jangwa kuwa shamba lenye rutuba, na shamba lenye rutuba kuwa kama msitu.
16 And doom schal dwelle in wildirnesse, and riytfulnesse schal sitte in Chermel;
Haki itakaa katika jangwa, na uadilifu utakaa katika shamba lenye rutuba.
17 and the werk of riytfulnesse schal be pees, and the tilthe of riytfulnesse schal be stilnesse and sikirnesse, `til in to with outen ende.
Matunda ya haki yatakuwa amani, matokeo ya haki yatakuwa utulivu na matumaini milele.
18 And my puple schal sitte in the fairnesse of pees, and in the tabernaclis of trist, and in riche reste.
Watu wangu wataishi katika makao ya mahali pa amani, katika nyumba zilizo salama, katika mahali pa kupumzika pasipo na usumbufu.
19 But hail schal be in the coming doun of the foreste, and bi lownesse the citee schal be maad low.
Hata kama mvua ya mawe iangushe msitu na mji ubomolewe kabisa,
20 Blessid ben ye, that sowen on alle watris, and putten yn the foot of an oxe and of an asse.
tazama jinsi utakavyobarikiwa, ukipanda mbegu yako katika kila kijito, na kuwaacha ngʼombe wako na punda wajilishe kwa uhuru.
