< Isaiah 52 >
1 Rise thou, Sion, rise thou, be thou clothid in thi strengthe; Jerusalem, the citee of the hooli, be thou clothid in the clothis of thi glorie; for a man vncircumcidid and a man vncleene schal no more leie to, that he passe by thee.
Amka, amka, ee Sayuni, jivike nguvu. Vaa mavazi yako ya fahari, ee Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu. Asiyetahiriwa na aliye najisi hataingia kwako tena.
2 Jerusalem, be thou schakun out of dust; rise thou, sitte thou; thou douyter of Sion, prisoner, vnbynde the boondis of thi necke.
Jikungʼute mavumbi yako, inuka, uketi kwenye kiti cha enzi, ee Yerusalemu. Jifungue minyororo iliyo shingoni mwako, ee Binti Sayuni uliye mateka.
3 For the Lord seith these thingis, Ye ben seeld without cause, and ye schulen be ayenbouyt with out siluer.
Kwa kuwa hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Mliuzwa pasipo malipo, nanyi mtakombolewa bila fedha.”
4 For the Lord God seith these thingis, Mi puple in the bigynnyng yede doun in to Egipt, that it schulde be there `an erthe tiliere, and Assur falsli calengide it with out ony cause.
Kwa maana hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenyezi: “Hapo kwanza watu wangu walishuka Misri kuishi, hatimaye, Ashuru wakawaonea.
5 And now what is to me here? seith the Lord; for my puple is takun awei with out cause; the lordis therof doen wickidli, seith the Lord, and my name is blasfemyd contynueli al dai.
“Basi sasa nina nini hapa?” asema Bwana. “Kwa kuwa watu wangu wamechukuliwa pasipo malipo, nao wale wanaowatawala wanawadhihaki,” asema Bwana. “Mchana kutwa jina langu limetukanwa bila kikomo.
6 For this thing my puple schal knowe my name in that day, for lo! Y my silf that spak, am present.
Kwa hiyo watu wangu watalijua Jina langu; kwa hiyo katika siku ile watajua kwamba ndimi niliyetangulia kulisema. Naam, ni mimi.”
7 Ful faire ben the feet of hym that tellith, and prechith pees on hillis, of hym that tellith good, of hym that prechith helthe, and seith, Sion, thi God schal regne.
Tazama jinsi miguu ya wale waletao habari njema ilivyo mizuri juu ya milima, wale wanaotangaza amani, wanaoleta habari njema, wanaotangaza wokovu, wauambiao Sayuni, “Mungu wako anatawala!”
8 The vois of thi biholderis; thei reisiden the vois, thei schulen herie togidere; for thei schulen se with iye to iye, whanne the Lord hath conuertid Sion.
Sikiliza! Walinzi wako wanapaza sauti zao, pamoja wanapaza sauti zao kwa furaha. Wakati Bwana atakaporejea Sayuni, wataliona kwa macho yao wenyewe.
9 The forsakun thingis of Jerusalem, make ye ioie, and herie ye togidere; for the Lord hath coumfortid his puple, he hath ayenbouyt Jerusalem.
Pazeni sauti ya nyimbo za furaha pamoja, enyi magofu ya Yerusalemu, kwa maana Bwana amewafariji watu wake, ameikomboa Yerusalemu.
10 The Lord hath maad redi his hooli arm in the iyen of alle folkis, and alle the endis of the erthe schulen se the helthe of oure God.
Mkono mtakatifu wa Bwana umefunuliwa machoni pa mataifa yote, nayo miisho yote ya dunia itaona wokovu wa Mungu wetu.
11 Go ye awei, go ye awei, go ye out fro thennus; nyle ye touche defoulid thing, go ye out fro the myddis therof; be ye clensid, that beren the vessels of the Lord.
Ondokeni, ondokeni, tokeni huko! Msiguse kitu chochote kilicho najisi! Tokeni kati yake mwe safi, ninyi mchukuao vyombo vya Bwana.
12 For ye schulen not go out in noyse, nether ye schulen haaste in fleynge awei; for whi the Lord schal go bifore you, and the God of Israel schal gadere you togidere.
Lakini hamtaondoka kwa haraka, wala hamtakwenda kwa kukimbia; kwa maana Bwana atatangulia mbele yenu, Mungu wa Israeli atakuwa mlinzi nyuma yenu.
13 Lo! my seruaunt schal vndirstonde, and he schal be enhaunsid, and he schal be reisid, and he schal be ful hiy.
Tazama, mtumishi wangu atatenda kwa hekima; atatukuzwa, na kuinuliwa juu, na kukwezwa sana.
14 As many men wondriden on hym, so his biholdyng schal be with out glorie among men, and the fourme of hym among the sones of men.
Kama walivyokuwa wengi walioshangazwa naye, kwani uso wake ulikuwa umeharibiwa sana zaidi ya mtu yeyote na umbo lake kuharibiwa zaidi ya mfano wa mwanadamu:
15 He schal bisprenge many folkis; kyngis schulen holde togidere her mouth on him; for thei schulen se, to whiche it was not teld of hym, and thei that herden not, bihelden.
hivyo atayashangaza mataifa mengi, nao wafalme watafunga vinywa vyao kwa sababu yake. Kwa kuwa yale ambayo hawakuambiwa, watayaona, nayo yale wasiyoyasikia, watayafahamu.
