Isaya 34
1 Njooni karibu, enyi mataifa, nanyi msikilize; sikilizeni kwa makini, enyi kabila za watu! Dunia na isikie, navyo vyote vilivyo ndani yake, ulimwengu na vyote vitokavyo ndani yake!
Draw near O nations to hear and O peoples pay attention let it hear the earth and what fills it [the] world and all produce its.
2 Bwana ameyakasirikia mataifa yote; ghadhabu yake ni juu ya majeshi yao yote. Atawaangamiza kabisa, atawatia mikononi mwa wachinjaji.
For wrath [belongs] to Yahweh towards all the nations and rage towards every army their he will totally destroy them he will deliver up them to slaughter.
3 Waliouawa watatupwa nje, maiti zao zitatoa uvundo, milima itatota kwa damu zao.
And slain [ones] their they will be thrown out and corpses their it will go up stench their and they will melt away mountains from blood their.
4 Nyota zote za mbinguni zitayeyuka na anga litasokotwa kama kitabu, jeshi lote la angani litaanguka kama majani yaliyonyauka kutoka kwenye mzabibu, kama tini iliyonyauka kutoka kwenye mtini.
And they will rot away all [the] host of the heavens and they will be rolled up like scroll the heavens and all host their it will wither as withers leafage from a vine and like withered fruit from a fig tree.
5 Upanga wangu umekunywa na kushiba huko mbinguni, tazama, unashuka katika hukumu juu ya Edomu, wale watu ambao nimeshawahukumu, kuwaangamiza kabisa.
If it has drunk its fill in the heavens sword my there! on Edom it will come down and on [the] people of total destruction my for judgment.
6 Upanga wa Bwana umeoga katika damu, umefunikwa na mafuta ya nyama: damu ya kondoo na mbuzi, mafuta kutoka figo za kondoo dume. Kwa maana Bwana ana dhabihu huko Bosra, na machinjo makuu huko Edomu.
A sword [belongs] to Yahweh it is full blood it has fattened itself from fat from [the] blood of lambs and goats from [the] fat of [the] kidneys of rams for a sacrifice [belongs] to Yahweh in Bozrah and a slaughter great in [the] land of Edom.
7 Nyati wataanguka pamoja nao, ndama waume na mafahali wakubwa. Nchi yao italowana kwa damu, nayo mavumbi yataloa mafuta ya nyama.
And they will go down wild oxen with them and young bulls with mighty [bulls] and it will drink its fill land their from blood and dust their from fat it will be fattened.
8 Kwa sababu Bwana anayo siku ya kulipiza kisasi, mwaka wa malipo, siku ya kushindania shauri la Sayuni.
For a day of vengeance [belongs] to Yahweh a year of retribution for [the] cause of Zion.
9 Vijito vya Edomu vitageuka kuwa lami, mavumbi yake yatakuwa kiberiti kiunguzacho, nchi yake itakuwa lami iwakayo!
And they will be changed torrents its into pitch and dust its into sulfur and it will become land its pitch burning.
10 Haitazimishwa usiku wala mchana, moshi wake utapaa juu milele. Kutoka kizazi hadi kizazi itakuwa ukiwa, hakuna mtu yeyote atakayepita huko tena.
Night and by day not it will be extinguished for ever it will go up smoke its from generation to generation it will be desolate to perpetuity of perpetuities there not [will be one who] passes in it.
11 Bundi wa jangwani na bundi mwenye sauti nyembamba wataimiliki, bundi wakubwa na kunguru wataweka viota humo. Mungu atanyoosha juu ya Edomu kamba ya kupimia ya machafuko matupu, na timazi ya ukiwa.
And they will take possession of it desert owl and hedgehog and great owl and raven they will dwell in it and he will stretch out over it a measuring-line of formlessness and stones of emptiness.
12 Watu wake wa kuheshimiwa hawatakuwa na chochote kitakachoitwa ufalme huko, nao wakuu wao wote watatoweka.
Nobles its and there not there [will be that which] a kingship people will call and all princes its they will be nothing.
13 Miiba itaenea katika ngome za ndani, viwawi na michongoma itaota kwenye ngome zake. Itakuwa maskani ya mbweha, makao ya bundi.
And it will grow up fortresses its thorns nettle[s] and thornbush[es] [will be] on fortifications its and it will be a habitation of jackals grass for daughters of an ostrich.
14 Viumbe vya jangwani vitakutana na fisi, nao mbuzi-mwitu watalia wakiitana; huko viumbe vya usiku vitastarehe pia na kujitafutia mahali pa kupumzika.
And they will meet desert-dwellers hyenas and goat to companion its it will call surely there it will rest [the] night-creature and it will find for itself a resting place.
15 Bundi wataweka viota huko na kutaga mayai, atayaangua na kutunza makinda yake chini ya uvuli wa mabawa yake; pia huko vipanga watakusanyika, kila mmoja na mwenzi wake.
There it will make a nest owl[s] and it laid eggs and it will hatch and it will gather a brood in shadow its surely there they will be gathered black kites each companion its.
16 Angalieni katika gombo la Bwana na msome: Hakuna hata mmoja katika hawa atakayekosekana, hakuna hata mmoja atakayemkosa mwenzi wake. Kwa kuwa ni kinywa chake Mungu kimeagiza, na Roho wake atawakusanya pamoja.
Seek from on [the] scroll of Yahweh and read one of them not it will be missing each companion its not they will miss for mouth my it it has commanded and spirit his it it will gather them.
17 Huwagawia sehemu zao, mkono wake huwagawanyia kwa kipimo. Wataimiliki hata milele na kuishi humo kutoka kizazi hadi kizazi.
And he he has cast for them a lot and hand his it has distributed it to them by the measuring-line until perpetuity they will possess it to a generation and a generation they will dwell in it.
