< Isaya 14 >

1 Bwana atamhurumia Yakobo, atamchagua Israeli tena, na kuwakalisha katika nchi yao wenyewe. Wageni wataungana nao na kujiunga na nyumba ya Yakobo.
For he will have compassion on Yahweh Jacob and he will choose again Israel and he will give rest them on own land their and he will join himself the sojourner to them and they will attach themselves to [the] house of Jacob.
2 Mataifa watawachukua na kuwaleta mahali pao wenyewe. Nayo nyumba ya Israeli itamiliki mataifa kama watumishi na wajakazi katika nchi ya Bwana. Watawafanya watekaji wao kuwa mateka, na kutawala juu ya wale waliowaonea.
And they will take them peoples and they will bring them to place their and they will receive as an inheritance them [the] house of Israel on [the] land of Yahweh to [male] servants and to female servants and they will be taking captive captors their and they will rule over oppressors their.
3 Katika siku Bwana atakapokuondolea mateso, udhia na utumwa wa kikatili,
And it will be on [the] day gives rest Yahweh to you from pain your and from turmoil your and from the labor hard which it was labored by you.
4 utaichukua dhihaka hii dhidi ya mfalme wa Babeli: Tazama jinsi mtesi alivyofikia mwisho! Tazama jinsi ghadhabu yake kali ilivyokoma!
And you will lift up the saying this on [the] king of Babylon and you will say how! he has ceased [the] oppressor it has ceased raging.
5 Bwana amevunja fimbo ya mwovu, fimbo ya utawala ya watawala,
He has broken Yahweh [the] staff of wicked [people] [the] scepter of rulers.
6 ambayo kwa hasira waliyapiga mataifa kwa mapigo yasiyo na kikomo, nao kwa ghadhabu kali waliwatiisha mataifa kwa jeuri pasipo huruma.
[which] struck Peoples in wrath a blow not ceasing [which] ruled in anger nations persecution [which] not anyone restrained.
7 Nchi zote ziko kwenye mapumziko na kwenye amani, wanabubujika kwa kuimba.
It is at rest it is at peace all the earth people have broken forth a shout of joy.
8 Hata misunobari na mierezi ya Lebanoni inashangilia mbele yako na kusema, “Basi kwa sababu umeangushwa chini, hakuna mkata miti atakayekuja kutukata.”
Also [the] fir trees they have rejoiced to you [the] cedars of Lebanon from then you lay down not he comes up the [wood] cutter on us.
9 Kuzimu kote kumetaharuki kukulaki unapokuja, kunaamsha roho za waliokufa ili kukupokea, wote waliokuwa viongozi katika ulimwengu, kunawafanya wainuke kwenye viti vyao vya kifalme: wale wote waliokuwa wafalme juu ya mataifa. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol beneath it is excited to you to meet coming you it has roused to you shades all [the] leaders of [the] earth it has made rise from thrones their all [the] kings of [the] nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 Wote wataitikia, watakuambia, “Wewe pia umekuwa dhaifu, kama sisi tulivyo; wewe umekuwa kama sisi.”
All of them they will answer and they may say to you also you you have been made weak like us to us you have become like.
11 Majivuno yako yote yameshushwa mpaka kuzimu, pamoja na kelele ya vinubi vyako, mafunza yametanda chini yako, na minyoo imekufunika. (Sheol h7585)
It has been brought down Sheol (pride your *LA(bh)*) [the] sound of lyres your under you it is spread as a bed maggot[s] and coverings your [are] worm[s]. (Sheol h7585)
12 Tazama jinsi ulivyoanguka kutoka mbinguni, ewe nyota ya asubuhi, mwana wa mapambazuko! Umetupwa chini duniani, wewe uliyepata kuangusha mataifa!
How! you have fallen from heaven O shining one son of dawn you have been cut down to the ground O defeater over [the] nations.
13 Ulisema moyoni mwako, “Nitapanda juu hadi mbinguni, nitakiinua kiti changu cha enzi juu ya nyota za Mungu, nitaketi nimetawazwa juu ya mlima wa kusanyiko, kwenye vimo vya juu sana vya Mlima Mtakatifu.
And you you said in heart your the heavens I will ascend from above [the] stars of El I will raise throne my so I may sit on [the] mountain of appointed meeting in [the] remotest parts of Zaphon.
14 Nitapaa juu kupita mawingu, nitajifanya kama Yeye Aliye Juu Sana.”
I will ascend above [the] high places of [the] cloud[s] I will make myself like [the] Most High.
15 Lakini umeshushwa chini hadi kuzimu, hadi kwenye vina vya shimo. (Sheol h7585)
Nevertheless to Sheol you have been brought down to [the] remotest parts of [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Wale wanaokuona wanakukazia macho, wanatafakari hatima yako: “Je, huyu ndiye yule aliyetikisa dunia na kufanya falme zitetemeke,
[those who] see You to you they will stare to you they will consider carefully ¿ [is] this the man [who] made tremble the earth [who] made shake kingdoms.
17 yule aliyeifanya dunia kuwa jangwa, aliyeipindua miji yake, na ambaye hakuwaachia mateka wake waende nyumbani?”
[who] made [the] world Like wilderness and cities its he tore down prisoners his not he opened home towards.
18 Wafalme wote wa mataifa wamelala kwa heshima kila mmoja katika kaburi lake.
All [the] kings of [the] nations all of them they have lain down in splendor each one in own house his.
19 Lakini wewe umetupwa nje ya kaburi lako kama tawi lililokataliwa, umefunikwa na waliouawa pamoja na wale waliochomwa kwa upanga, wale washukao mpaka kwenye mawe ya shimo. Kama mzoga uliokanyagwa chini ya nyayo,
And you you have been thrown out from tomb your like a branch abhorred [the] clothing of [those who] were slain [who were] pierced of [the] sword [who] go down to [the] stones of [the] pit like a corpse trodden down.
20 Hutajumuika nao kwenye mazishi, kwa kuwa umeharibu nchi yako na kuwaua watu wako. Mzao wa mwovu hatatajwa tena kamwe.
Not you will be united with them in burial for land your you have ruined people your you have slain not it will be named for ever [the] offspring of evil-doers.
21 Andaa mahali pa kuwachinjia wanawe kwa ajili ya dhambi za baba zao, wasije wakainuka ili kuirithi nchi na kuijaza dunia kwa miji yao.
Prepare for sons his a place of slaughter in [the] iniquity of ancestors their not they will arise and they will take possession of [the] earth and they will fill [the] surface of [the] world cities.
22 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote asema, “Nitainuka dhidi yao, nitalikatilia mbali jina lake kutoka Babeli pamoja na watu wake walionusurika, watoto wake na wazao wake,” asema Bwana.
And I will rise up on them [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and I will cut off to Babylon name and remnant and posterity and progeny [the] utterance of Yahweh.
23 “Nitaifanya kuwa mahali pa bundi, na kuwa nchi ya matope; nitaifagia kwa ufagio wa maangamizi,” asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
And I will make it a possession of hedgehog[s] and reed-pools of water and I will sweep away it with a broom of destruction [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.
24 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote ameapa, “Hakika, kama vile nilivyopanga, ndivyo itakavyokuwa, nami kama nilivyokusudia, ndivyo itakavyosimama.
He has sworn Yahweh of hosts saying if not just as I have intended so it has happened and just as I have planned it it will stand.
25 Nitamponda Mwashuru katika nchi yangu, juu ya milima yangu nitawakanyagia chini. Nira yake itaondolewa kutoka kwa watu wangu, nao mzigo wake utaondolewa kutoka mabegani mwao.”
To break Assyria in land my and on mountains my I will tread down it and it will be removed from on them yoke its and burden its from on shoulder its it will be removed.
26 Huu ndio mpango uliokusudiwa kwa ajili ya ulimwengu wote, huu ni mkono ulionyooshwa juu ya mataifa yote.
This [is] the plan which is planned on all the earth and this [is] the hand which is stretched out over all the nations.
27 Kwa kuwa Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote amekusudia, ni nani awezaye kumzuia? Mkono wake umenyooshwa, ni nani awezaye kuurudisha?
For Yahweh of hosts he has planned and who? will he frustrate [it] and [is] hand his the [one] stretched out and who? will he turn back it.
28 Neno hili lilikuja mwaka ule Mfalme Ahazi alipofariki:
In [the] year of [the] death of the king Ahaz it came the oracle this.
29 Msifurahi, enyi Wafilisti wote, kwamba fimbo iliyowapiga imevunjika; kutoka mzizi wa huyo nyoka atachipuka nyoka mwenye sumu kali, uzao wake utakuwa joka lirukalo, lenye sumu kali.
May not you rejoice O Philistia all of you that it has been broken [the] rod of [the] [one who] struck you for from [the] root of a snake it will go forth a viper and fruit its [will be] a serpent flying.
30 Maskini kuliko maskini wote watapata malisho, nao wahitaji watalala salama. Lakini mzizi wako nitauangamiza kwa njaa, nayo njaa itawaua walionusurika.
And they will graze [the] firstborn of poor [people] and needy [people] to security they will lie down and I will put to death by famine root your and remnant your it will kill.
31 Piga yowe, ee lango! Bweka, ee mji! Yeyukeni, enyi Wafilisti wote! Wingu la moshi linakuja toka kaskazini, wala hakuna atakayechelewa katika safu zake.
Wail O gate cry out O city melt away O Philistia all of you for from [the] north smoke [is] coming and there not [is] an isolated [one] among ranks its.
32 Ni jibu gani litakalotolewa kwa wajumbe wa taifa hilo? “Bwana ameifanya imara Sayuni, nako ndani yake watu wake walioonewa watapata kimbilio.”
And what? will anyone answer [the] messengers of a nation that Yahweh he has founded Zion and in it they will take refuge [the] afflicted [people] of people his.
