Isaiah 32
1 Lo! the kyng schal regne in riytfulnesse, and princes schulen be souereyns in doom.
Tazama, mfalme atatawala kwa haki, wakuu wataongoza 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 mmoja atakuwa kama makazi kutoka kwenye upepo na kimbilio kutoka kwenye dhoruba, kama mifereji kwenye sehemu kavu, kama kivuli kwenye mwamba mkubwa katika nchi iliyochoka.
3 The iyen of profetis schulen not dasewe, and the eeris of heereris schulen herke diligentli;
Halafu macho ya waie wanaoona hayataona giza, na masikio ya wale wanosikia yatasikia vizuri.
4 and the herte of foolis schal vndurstonde kunnyng, and the tunge of stuttynge men schal speke swiftli, and pleynli.
Wenye upele watafikiria kwa makini kwa uelewa wao, na wenye kigugumizi watazungumza dhahiri na kwa urahisi.
5 He that is vnwijs, schal no more be clepid prince, and a gileful man schal not be clepid the grettere.
Mjinga hataitwa tena muheshimiwa, wala muongo hataitwa mkuu.
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.
Maana mjinga anazungumza ujinga, na moyo wake unapanga maovu na matendo ya wasiomcha Mungu, na anaongea mambo mabaya kuhusu Yahwe. Na anawafanya wenye njaa kuwa tupu na wenye kiu kukosa 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.
Njia ya muongo ni maovu. Anajua kubuni mipango mibaya ya kuwalagai masikini kwa uongo, na hata kama masikini atazungumza ukweli.
8 Forsothe a prince schal thenke tho thingis that ben worthi to a prince, and he schal stonde ouer duykis.
Lakini watu wa heshima wanapanga mipango ya kuheshimika; na kwa sabaubau ya matendo ya wenye heshima tuatasimama.
9 Riche wymmen, rise ye, and here my vois; douytris tristynge, perseyue ye with eeris my speche.
Nyanyukeni juu, enyi wanawake mlio wepesi, na sikilizeni sauti yangu; enyi mabinti msiowangalifu, nisikilizeni mimi.
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.
Maana kwa mda mfupi zaidi ya mwaka ujasiri wenu utavunjika, nyie wanawake msiojali, maana mavuno ya zabibu yatakwama, mavuno hayatakuwepo.
11 Ye riche wymmen, be astonyed; ye that tristen, be disturblid; vnclothe ye you, and be ye aschamed;
Tetemekeni, enyi wanawake, mliowadhaifu; taabikeni enyi msikuwa wangalifu; ondoeni nguo zenu nzuri mbaki wazi;
12 girde youre leendis; weile ye on brestis, on desirable cuntrei, on the plenteuouse vyner.
Vaeni nguo za magunia katika viuno vyenu. Ole watakaojichukulia mashamba mazuri, kwa mzabibu ulio zaa sana.
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?
Kwenye aridhi ya watu wangu kutamea miiba na mbigiri, hata juu ya nyumba za furaha na mji ulio na shangwe.
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;
Maana jumba litaachwa, mji uliosongamana utakuwa faragha; kilima na mnara vitakuwa mapango daima, furaha ya punda, malisho ya mifugo;
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 itushukie sisi kutoka juu, na jangwa litakuwa shamba linalozaa, na shamba linalozaa litachukuliwa kama msitu.
16 And doom schal dwelle in wildirnesse, and riytfulnesse schal sitte in Chermel;
Wenye haki wataishi jangwani; na wenye haki wataishi katika shamba linalozaa matunda.
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.
Kazi ya mwenye haki itakuwa ni ya amani; na matokeo ya wenye haki, ni utulivu na kujiamini daima.
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 amani, na katika nyumba salama na mahali tulivu pa kupumzikia.
19 But hail schal be in the coming doun of the foreste, and bi lownesse the citee schal be maad low.
Lakini hata kama ni mvua ya mawe na msitu umeharibiwa, na mji umeteketezwa,
20 Blessid ben ye, that sowen on alle watris, and putten yn the foot of an oxe and of an asse.
yule ambae anaye panda pembezoni mwa mifereji atabarikiwa, na yule atakaye wapeleka ng'ombe na punda kuchunga.
