Isaya 42
1 “Huyu hapa mtumishi wangu, ninayemtegemeza, mteule wangu, ambaye ninapendezwa naye; nitaweka Roho yangu juu yake, naye ataleta haki kwa mataifa.
look! servant/slave my to grasp in/on/with him chosen my to accept soul my to give: put spirit my upon him justice to/for nation to come out: send
2 Hatapaza sauti wala kupiga kelele, wala hataiinua sauti yake barabarani.
not to cry and not to lift: loud and not to hear: hear in/on/with outside voice his
3 Mwanzi uliopondeka hatauvunja, na utambi unaofuka moshi hatauzima. Kwa uaminifu ataleta haki,
branch: stem to crush not to break and flax faint not to quench her to/for truth: faithful to come out: send justice
4 hatazimia roho wala kukata tamaa, mpaka atakaposimamisha haki juu ya dunia. Visiwa vitaweka tumaini lao katika sheria yake.”
not to grow dim and not to crush till to set: make in/on/with land: country/planet justice and to/for instruction his coastland to wait: hope
5 Hili ndilo asemalo Mungu, Bwana, yeye aliyeziumba mbingu na kuzitanda, aliyeitandaza dunia na vyote vitokavyo humo, awapaye watu wake pumzi, na uzima kwa wale waendao humo:
thus to say [the] God LORD to create [the] heaven and to stretch them to beat [the] land: country/planet and offspring her to give: give breath to/for people upon her and spirit to/for to go: walk in/on/with her
6 “Mimi, Bwana, nimekuita katika haki; nitakushika mkono wako. Nitakulinda na kukufanya kuwa Agano kwa ajili ya watu na nuru kwa Mataifa,
I LORD to call: call to you in/on/with righteousness and to strengthen: hold in/on/with hand your and to watch you and to give: give you to/for covenant people to/for light nation
7 kuwafungua macho wale wasioona, kuwaacha huru kutoka kifungoni waliofungwa jela, na kuwafungua kutoka gerezani wale wanaokaa gizani.
to/for to open eye blind to/for to come out: send from locksmith prisoner from house: home prison to dwell darkness
8 “Mimi ndimi Bwana; hilo ndilo Jina langu! Sitampa mwingine utukufu wangu wala sanamu sifa zangu.
I LORD he/she/it name my and glory my to/for another not to give: give and praise my to/for idol
9 Tazama, mambo ya kwanza yametokea, nami natangaza mambo mapya; kabla hayajatokea nawatangazia habari zake.”
[the] first: previous behold to come (in): come and new I to tell in/on/with before to spring to hear: proclaim [obj] you
10 Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya, sifa zake toka miisho ya dunia, ninyi mshukao chini baharini, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake, enyi visiwa na wote wakaao ndani yake.
to sing to/for LORD song new praise his from end [the] land: country/planet to go down [the] sea and fullness his coastland and to dwell their
11 Jangwa na miji yake na vipaze sauti zao; makao anamoishi Kedari na yashangilie. Watu wa Sela waimbe kwa furaha, na wapige kelele kutoka vilele vya milima.
to lift: loud wilderness and city his village to dwell Kedar to sing to dwell Sela from head: top mountain: mount to cry aloud
12 Wampe Bwana utukufu, na kutangaza sifa zake katika visiwa.
to set: put to/for LORD glory and praise his in/on/with coastland to tell
13 Bwana ataenda kama mtu mwenye nguvu, kama shujaa atachochea shauku yake, kwa kelele ataamsha kilio cha vita, naye atashinda adui zake.
LORD like/as mighty man to come out: come like/as man battle to rouse jealousy to shout also to cry upon enemy his to prevail
14 “Kwa muda mrefu nimenyamaza kimya, nimekaa kimya na kujizuia. Lakini sasa, kama mwanamke wakati wa kujifungua, ninapiga kelele, ninatweta na kushusha pumzi.
be silent from forever: antiquity be quiet to refrain like/as to beget to groan to pant and to long for unitedness
15 Nitaharibu milima na vilima na kukausha mimea yako yote; nitafanya mito kuwa visiwa na kukausha mabwawa.
to destroy mountain: mount and hill and all vegetation their to wither and to set: make river to/for coastland and pool to wither
16 Nitawaongoza vipofu kwenye njia ambayo hawajaijua, kwenye mapito wasiyoyazoea nitawaongoza; nitafanya giza kuwa nuru mbele yao, na kufanya mahali palipoparuza kuwa laini. Haya ndiyo mambo nitakayofanya; mimi sitawaacha.
and to go: take blind in/on/with way: direction not to know in/on/with path not to know to tread them to set: make darkness to/for face: before their to/for light and crooked place to/for plain these [the] word: thing to make: do them and not to leave: forsake them
17 Lakini wale wanaotumaini sanamu, wanaoviambia vinyago, ‘Ninyi ndio miungu yetu,’ watarudishwa nyuma kwa aibu kubwa.
to turn back be ashamed shame [the] to trust in/on/with idol [the] to say to/for liquid you(m. p.) God our
18 “Sikieni, enyi viziwi; tazameni, enyi vipofu, mpate kuona!
[the] deaf to hear: hear and [the] blind to look to/for to see: see
19 Ni nani aliye kipofu isipokuwa mtumishi wangu, na kiziwi kama mjumbe ninayemtuma? Ni nani aliye kipofu kama yeye aliyejitoa kwangu, aliye kipofu kama mtumishi wa Bwana?
who? blind that if: except if: except servant/slave my and deaf like/as messenger my to send: depart who? blind like/as to ally and blind like/as servant/slave LORD
20 Mmeona vitu vingi, lakini hamkuzingatia; masikio yenu yako wazi, lakini hamsikii chochote.”
(to see: see *Q(K)*) many and not to keep: look at to open ear and not to hear: hear
21 Ilimpendeza Bwana kwa ajili ya haki yake kufanya sheria yake kuwa kuu na tukufu.
LORD to delight in because righteousness his to magnify instruction and be glorious
22 Lakini hili ni taifa lililoibwa na kutekwa nyara, wote wamenaswa katika mashimo, au wamefichwa katika magereza. Wamekuwa nyara, wala hapana yeyote awaokoaye. Wamefanywa mateka, wala hapana yeyote asemaye, “Warudishe.”
and he/she/it people to plunder and to plunder to ensnare in/on/with cavern all their and in/on/with house: home prison to hide to be to/for plunder and nothing to rescue plunder and nothing to say to return: rescue
23 Ni nani miongoni mwenu atakayesikiliza hili, au atakayezingatia kwa makini katika wakati ujao?
who? in/on/with you to listen this to listen and to hear: hear to/for back
24 Ni nani aliyemtoa Yakobo kuwa mateka, na Israeli kwa wateka nyara? Je, hakuwa yeye, Bwana, ambaye tumetenda dhambi dhidi yake? Kwa kuwa hawakufuata njia zake, hawakutii sheria zake.
who? to give: give (to/for plunder *Q(K)*) Jacob and Israel to/for to plunder not LORD this to sin to/for him and not be willing in/on/with way: conduct his to go: walk and not to hear: obey in/on/with instruction his
25 Hivyo akawamwagia hasira yake inayowaka, ukali wa vita. Iliwazunguka kwa miali ya moto, lakini hata hivyo hawakuelewa; iliwateketeza, lakini hawakuyatia moyoni.
and to pour: pour upon him rage face: anger his and strength battle and to kindle him from around and not to know and to burn: burn in/on/with him and not to set: consider upon heart
