1 Tazama sasa, Bwana, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, yu karibu kuwaondolea Yerusalemu na Yuda upatikanaji wa mahitaji na misaada, upatikanaji wote wa chakula na tegemeo lote la maji,
ἰδοὺ δὴ ὁ δεσπότης κύριος σαβαωθ ἀφελεῖ ἀπὸ τῆς Ιουδαίας καὶ ἀπὸ Ιερουσαλημ ἰσχύοντα καὶ ἰσχύουσαν ἰσχὺν ἄρτου καὶ ἰσχὺν ὕδατος
2 shujaa na mtu wa vita, mwamuzi na nabii, mwaguzi na mzee,
γίγαντα καὶ ἰσχύοντα καὶ ἄνθρωπον πολεμιστὴν καὶ δικαστὴν καὶ προφήτην καὶ στοχαστὴν καὶ πρεσβύτερον
3 jemadari wa kikosi cha watu hamsini na mtu mwenye cheo, mshauri, fundi stadi na mlozi mjanja.
καὶ πεντηκόνταρχον καὶ θαυμαστὸν σύμβουλον καὶ σοφὸν ἀρχιτέκτονα καὶ συνετὸν ἀκροατήν
4 Nitawafanya wavulana wawe maafisa wao, watoto ndio watakaowatawala.
καὶ ἐπιστήσω νεανίσκους ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν καὶ ἐμπαῖκται κυριεύσουσιν αὐτῶν
5 Watu wataoneana wao kwa wao: mtu dhidi ya mtu, na jirani dhidi ya jirani yake. Kijana atainuka dhidi ya mzee, mtu mnyonge dhidi ya mtu mwenye heshima.
καὶ συμπεσεῖται ὁ λαός ἄνθρωπος πρὸς ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἄνθρωπος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ προσκόψει τὸ παιδίον πρὸς τὸν πρεσβύτην ὁ ἄτιμος πρὸς τὸν ἔντιμον
6 Mtu atamkamata mmoja wa ndugu zake katika nyumba ya baba yake na kusema, “Unalo joho, sasa uwe kiongozi wetu, tawala lundo hili la magofu!”
ὅτι ἐπιλήμψεται ἄνθρωπος τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ἢ τοῦ οἰκείου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ λέγων ἱμάτιον ἔχεις ἀρχηγὸς ἡμῶν γενοῦ καὶ τὸ βρῶμα τὸ ἐμὸν ὑπὸ σὲ ἔστω
7 Lakini siku hiyo atapiga kelele akisema, “Sina uponyaji. Sina chakula wala mavazi katika nyumba yangu, msinifanye niwe kiongozi wa watu.”
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ἐρεῖ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ οὐκ ἔσομαί σου ἀρχηγός οὐ γὰρ ἔστιν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου ἄρτος οὐδὲ ἱμάτιον οὐκ ἔσομαι ἀρχηγὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου
8 Yerusalemu inapepesuka, Yuda inaanguka; maneno yao na matendo yao ni kinyume na Bwana, wakiudharau uwepo wake uliotukuka.
ὅτι ἀνεῖται Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἡ Ιουδαία συμπέπτωκεν καὶ αἱ γλῶσσαι αὐτῶν μετὰ ἀνομίας τὰ πρὸς κύριον ἀπειθοῦντες διότι νῦν ἐταπεινώθη ἡ δόξα αὐτῶν
9 Nyuso zao zinavyoonekana zinashuhudia dhidi yao, hujivunia dhambi yao kama Sodoma, wala hawaifichi. Ole wao! Wamejiletea maafa juu yao wenyewe.
καὶ ἡ αἰσχύνη τοῦ προσώπου αὐτῶν ἀντέστη αὐτοῖς τὴν δὲ ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῶν ὡς Σοδομων ἀνήγγειλαν καὶ ἐνεφάνισαν οὐαὶ τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν διότι βεβούλευνται βουλὴν πονηρὰν καθ’ ἑαυτῶν
10 Waambie wanyofu itakuwa heri kwao, kwa kuwa watafurahia tunda la matendo yao.
εἰπόντες δήσωμεν τὸν δίκαιον ὅτι δύσχρηστος ἡμῖν ἐστιν τοίνυν τὰ γενήματα τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν φάγονται
11 Ole kwa watu waovu! Maafa yapo juu yao! Watalipwa kwa ajili ya yale mikono yao iliyotenda.
οὐαὶ τῷ ἀνόμῳ πονηρὰ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ συμβήσεται αὐτῷ
12 Vijana wanawatesa watu wangu, wanawake wanawatawala. Enyi watu wangu, viongozi wenu wanawapotosha, wanawapoteza njia.
λαός μου οἱ πράκτορες ὑμῶν καλαμῶνται ὑμᾶς καὶ οἱ ἀπαιτοῦντες κυριεύουσιν ὑμῶν λαός μου οἱ μακαρίζοντες ὑμᾶς πλανῶσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ τὸν τρίβον τῶν ποδῶν ὑμῶν ταράσσουσιν
13 Bwana anachukua nafasi yake mahakamani, anasimama kuhukumu watu.
ἀλλὰ νῦν καταστήσεται εἰς κρίσιν κύριος καὶ στήσει εἰς κρίσιν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ
14 Bwana anaingia katika hukumu dhidi ya wazee na viongozi wa watu wake: “Ninyi ndio mlioharibu shamba langu la mizabibu, mali zilizonyangʼanywa maskini zimo nyumbani mwenu.
αὐτὸς κύριος εἰς κρίσιν ἥξει μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ μετὰ τῶν ἀρχόντων αὐτοῦ ὑμεῖς δὲ τί ἐνεπυρίσατε τὸν ἀμπελῶνά μου καὶ ἡ ἁρπαγὴ τοῦ πτωχοῦ ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις ὑμῶν
15 Mnamaanisha nini kuwaponda watu wangu na kuzisaga nyuso za maskini?” asema Bwana, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.
τί ὑμεῖς ἀδικεῖτε τὸν λαόν μου καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον τῶν πτωχῶν καταισχύνετε
16 Bwana asema, “Wanawake wa Sayuni wana kiburi, wanatembea na shingo ndefu, wakikonyeza kwa macho yao, wanatembea kwa hatua za madaha, wakiwa na mapambo ya njuga kwenye vifundo vya miguu yao.
τάδε λέγει κύριος ἀνθ’ ὧν ὑψώθησαν αἱ θυγατέρες Σιων καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὑψηλῷ τραχήλῳ καὶ ἐν νεύμασιν ὀφθαλμῶν καὶ τῇ πορείᾳ τῶν ποδῶν ἅμα σύρουσαι τοὺς χιτῶνας καὶ τοῖς ποσὶν ἅμα παίζουσαι
17 Kwa hiyo Bwana ataleta majipu kwenye vichwa vya wanawake wa Sayuni; Bwana atazifanya ngozi za vichwa vyao kuwa vipara.”
καὶ ταπεινώσει ὁ θεὸς ἀρχούσας θυγατέρας Σιων καὶ κύριος ἀποκαλύψει τὸ σχῆμα αὐτῶν
18 Katika siku ile Bwana atawanyangʼanya uzuri wao: bangili, tepe za kichwani, mikufu yenye alama za mwezi mwandamo,
ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἀφελεῖ κύριος τὴν δόξαν τοῦ ἱματισμοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς κόσμους αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐμπλόκια καὶ τοὺς κοσύμβους καὶ τοὺς μηνίσκους
19 vipuli, vikuku, shela,
καὶ τὸ κάθεμα καὶ τὸν κόσμον τοῦ προσώπου αὐτῶν
20 vilemba, mikufu ya vifundo vya miguu, mshipi, chupa za manukato na hirizi,
καὶ τὴν σύνθεσιν τοῦ κόσμου τῆς δόξης καὶ τοὺς χλιδῶνας καὶ τὰ ψέλια καὶ τὸ ἐμπλόκιον καὶ τὰ περιδέξια καὶ τοὺς δακτυλίους καὶ τὰ ἐνώτια
21 pete zenye muhuri, pete za puani,
καὶ τὰ περιπόρφυρα καὶ τὰ μεσοπόρφυρα
22 majoho mazuri, mitandio, mavazi, kifuko cha kutilia fedha,
καὶ τὰ ἐπιβλήματα τὰ κατὰ τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ τὰ διαφανῆ λακωνικὰ
23 vioo, mavazi ya kitani, taji na shali.
καὶ τὰ βύσσινα καὶ τὰ ὑακίνθινα καὶ τὰ κόκκινα καὶ τὴν βύσσον σὺν χρυσίῳ καὶ ὑακίνθῳ συγκαθυφασμένα καὶ θέριστρα κατάκλιτα
24 Badala ya harufu ya manukato kutakuwa na uvundo; badala ya mishipi, ni kamba; badala ya nywele zilizotengenezwa vizuri, ni upara; badala ya mavazi mazuri, ni nguo za magunia; badala ya uzuri, ni alama ya aibu kwa chuma cha moto.
καὶ ἔσται ἀντὶ ὀσμῆς ἡδείας κονιορτός καὶ ἀντὶ ζώνης σχοινίῳ ζώσῃ καὶ ἀντὶ τοῦ κόσμου τῆς κεφαλῆς τοῦ χρυσίου φαλάκρωμα ἕξεις διὰ τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ ἀντὶ τοῦ χιτῶνος τοῦ μεσοπορφύρου περιζώσῃ σάκκον
25 Wanaume wako watauawa kwa upanga, nao mashujaa wako watauawa vitani.
καὶ ὁ υἱός σου ὁ κάλλιστος ὃν ἀγαπᾷς μαχαίρᾳ πεσεῖται καὶ οἱ ἰσχύοντες ὑμῶν μαχαίρᾳ πεσοῦνται
26 Malango ya Sayuni yataomboleza na kulia, ataketi mavumbini akiwa fukara.
καὶ ταπεινωθήσονται καὶ πενθήσουσιν αἱ θῆκαι τοῦ κόσμου ὑμῶν καὶ καταλειφθήσῃ μόνη καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν ἐδαφισθήσῃ
