Isaya 44
1 “Lakini sasa sikiliza, ee Yakobo, mtumishi wangu, Israeli, niliyemchagua.
νῦν δὲ ἄκουσον παῖς μου Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ ὃν ἐξελεξάμην
2 Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana, yeye aliyekuhuluku, aliyekuumba tumboni, yeye atakayekusaidia: Usiogope, ee Yakobo, mtumishi wangu, Yeshuruni, niliyekuchagua.
οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας σε καὶ ὁ πλάσας σε ἐκ κοιλίας ἔτι βοηθηθήσῃ μὴ φοβοῦ παῖς μου Ιακωβ καὶ ὁ ἠγαπημένος Ισραηλ ὃν ἐξελεξάμην
3 Kwa maana nitamimina maji juu ya nchi yenye kiu, na vijito vya maji juu ya ardhi iliyokauka; nitamimina Roho wangu juu ya watoto wako, nayo baraka yangu juu ya wazao wako.
ὅτι ἐγὼ δώσω ὕδωρ ἐν δίψει τοῖς πορευομένοις ἐν ἀνύδρῳ ἐπιθήσω τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου καὶ τὰς εὐλογίας μου ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα σου
4 Nao watachipua kama manyasi katika shamba la majani, kama mierezi kando ya vijito vya maji yatiririkayo.
καὶ ἀνατελοῦσιν ὡσεὶ χόρτος ἀνὰ μέσον ὕδατος καὶ ὡς ἰτέα ἐπὶ παραρρέον ὕδωρ
5 Mmoja atasema, ‘Mimi ni wa Bwana’; mwingine atajiita kwa jina la Yakobo; vilevile mwingine ataandika juu ya mkono wake, ‘Wa Bwana,’ na kujiita kwa jina la Israeli.
οὗτος ἐρεῖ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰμι καὶ οὗτος βοήσεται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ιακωβ καὶ ἕτερος ἐπιγράψει τοῦ θεοῦ εἰμι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ισραηλ
6 “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana, Mfalme wa Israeli na Mkombozi, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: Mimi ni wa kwanza na Mimi ni wa mwisho; zaidi yangu hakuna Mungu.
οὕτως λέγει ὁ θεὸς ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ισραηλ ὁ ῥυσάμενος αὐτὸν θεὸς σαβαωθ ἐγὼ πρῶτος καὶ ἐγὼ μετὰ ταῦτα πλὴν ἐμοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν θεός
7 Ni nani basi aliye kama mimi? Yeye na atangaze. Yeye atangaze na kuweka mbele yangu ni kitu gani kilichotokea tangu nilipoumba watu wangu wa kale, tena ni nini kitakachotokea: naam, yeye na atoe unabii ni nini kitakachokuja.
τίς ὥσπερ ἐγώ στήτω καλεσάτω καὶ ἑτοιμασάτω μοι ἀφ’ οὗ ἐποίησα ἄνθρωπον εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ τὰ ἐπερχόμενα πρὸ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἀναγγειλάτωσαν ὑμῖν
8 Msitetemeke, msiogope. Je, sikutangaza hili, na kutoa unabii tangu zamani? Ninyi ni mashahidi wangu. Je, yuko Mungu zaidi yangu mimi? Hasha, hakuna Mwamba mwingine; mimi simjui mwingine.”
μὴ παρακαλύπτεσθε οὐκ ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς ἠνωτίσασθε καὶ ἀπήγγειλα ὑμῖν μάρτυρες ὑμεῖς ἐστε εἰ ἔστιν θεὸς πλὴν ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν τότε
9 Wote wachongao sanamu ni ubatili, navyo vitu wanavyovithamini havifai kitu. Wale ambao wanazitetea ni vipofu, ni wajinga, nao waaibika.
οἱ πλάσσοντες καὶ γλύφοντες πάντες μάταιοι οἱ ποιοῦντες τὰ καταθύμια αὐτῶν ἃ οὐκ ὠφελήσει αὐτούς ἀλλὰ αἰσχυνθήσονται
10 Ni nani atengenezaye mungu na kusubu sanamu, ambayo haiwezi kumfaidia kitu chochote?
πάντες οἱ πλάσσοντες θεὸν καὶ γλύφοντες ἀνωφελῆ
11 Yeye pamoja na wenziwe wa aina yake wataaibishwa, mafundi wao si kitu ila ni wanadamu tu. Wote wakusanyike pamoja na kuwa na msimamo wao, watashushwa chini kwa hofu na kwa fedheha.
καὶ πάντες ὅθεν ἐγένοντο ἐξηράνθησαν καὶ κωφοὶ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων συναχθήτωσαν πάντες καὶ στήτωσαν ἅμα ἐντραπήτωσαν καὶ αἰσχυνθήτωσαν ἅμα
12 Muhunzi huchukua kifaa na kukifanyia kazi kwenye makaa ya moto, hutengeneza sanamu kwa nyundo, huifanyiza kwa nguvu za mkono wake. Huona njaa na kupoteza nguvu zake, asipokunywa maji huzimia.
ὅτι ὤξυνεν τέκτων σίδηρον σκεπάρνῳ εἰργάσατο αὐτὸ καὶ ἐν τερέτρῳ ἔτρησεν αὐτό εἰργάσατο αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ βραχίονι τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ καὶ πεινάσει καὶ ἀσθενήσει καὶ οὐ μὴ πίῃ ὕδωρ ἐκλεξάμενος
13 Seremala hupima kwa kutumia kamba na huuchora mstari kwa kalamu; huchonga kwa patasi na kutia alama kwa bikari. Huifanyiza katika umbo la binadamu, la mwanadamu katika utukufu wake wote, ili iweze kukaa katika sehemu yake ya ibada ya miungu.
τέκτων ξύλον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέτρῳ καὶ ἐν κόλλῃ ἐρρύθμισεν αὐτό ἐποίησεν αὐτὸ ὡς μορφὴν ἀνδρὸς καὶ ὡς ὡραιότητα ἀνθρώπου στῆσαι αὐτὸ ἐν οἴκῳ
14 Hukata miti ya mierezi, huchukua mtiriza au mwaloni. Huuacha ukue miongoni mwa miti ya msituni, au hupanda msunobari, nayo mvua huufanya ukue.
ὃ ἔκοψεν ξύλον ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ ὃ ἐφύτευσεν κύριος καὶ ὑετὸς ἐμήκυνεν
15 Ni kuni ya binadamu: yeye huchukua baadhi yake na kuota moto, huwasha moto na kuoka mkate. Lakini pia huutumia kumtengeneza mungu na akamwabudu, huitengeneza sanamu na kuisujudia.
ἵνα ᾖ ἀνθρώποις εἰς καῦσιν καὶ λαβὼν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἐθερμάνθη καὶ καύσαντες ἔπεψαν ἄρτους ἐπ’ αὐτῶν τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν εἰργάσαντο εἰς θεούς καὶ προσκυνοῦσιν αὐτούς
16 Sehemu ya kuni huziweka motoni, akapikia chakula chake, hubanika nyama na kula hadi ashibe. Huota moto na kusema, “Aha! Ninahisi joto, ninaona moto.”
οὗ τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ κατέκαυσαν ἐν πυρὶ καὶ καύσαντες ἔπεψαν ἄρτους ἐπ’ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ κρέας ὀπτήσας ἔφαγεν καὶ ἐνεπλήσθη καὶ θερμανθεὶς εἶπεν ἡδύ μοι ὅτι ἐθερμάνθην καὶ εἶδον πῦρ
17 Mabaki yake hutengeneza mungu, sanamu yake; yeye huisujudia na kuiabudu. Huiomba na kusema, “Niokoe; wewe ni mungu wangu.”
τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν ἐποίησεν εἰς θεὸν γλυπτὸν καὶ προσκυνεῖ αὐτῷ καὶ προσεύχεται λέγων ἐξελοῦ με ὅτι θεός μου εἶ σύ
18 Hawajui chochote, hawaelewi chochote, macho yao yamefungwa hata hawawezi kuona, akili zao zimefungwa hata hawawezi kufahamu.
οὐκ ἔγνωσαν φρονῆσαι ὅτι ἀπημαυρώθησαν τοῦ βλέπειν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοῦ νοῆσαι τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν
19 Hakuna anayefikiri, hakuna mwenye maarifa wala ufahamu wa kusema, “Sehemu yake nilitumia kwa kuni; hata pia nilioka mkate juu ya makaa yake, nikabanika nyama na kuila. Je, nifanye machukizo kwa kile kilichobaki? Je, nisujudie gogo la mti?”
καὶ οὐκ ἐλογίσατο τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἀνελογίσατο ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ἔγνω τῇ φρονήσει ὅτι τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ κατέκαυσεν ἐν πυρὶ καὶ ἔπεψεν ἐπὶ τῶν ἀνθράκων αὐτοῦ ἄρτους καὶ ὀπτήσας κρέας ἔφαγεν καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς βδέλυγμα ἐποίησεν καὶ προσκυνοῦσιν αὐτῷ
20 Hujilisha kwa majivu, moyo uliodanganyika humpotosha; hawezi kujiokoa mwenyewe, au kusema, “Je, kitu hiki kilichoko katika mkono wangu wa kuume si ni uongo?”
γνῶτε ὅτι σποδὸς ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν καὶ πλανῶνται καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐξελέσθαι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἴδετε οὐκ ἐρεῖτε ὅτι ψεῦδος ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ μου
21 “Ee Yakobo, kumbuka mambo haya, ee Israeli, kwa kuwa wewe ni mtumishi wangu. Nimekuumba wewe, wewe ni mtumishi wangu. Ee Israeli, sitakusahau.
μνήσθητι ταῦτα Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ ὅτι παῖς μου εἶ σύ ἔπλασά σε παῖδά μου καὶ σύ Ισραηλ μὴ ἐπιλανθάνου μου
22 Nimeyafuta makosa yako kama wingu, dhambi zako kama ukungu wa asubuhi. Nirudie mimi, kwa kuwa nimekukomboa wewe.”
ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀπήλειψα ὡς νεφέλην τὰς ἀνομίας σου καὶ ὡς γνόφον τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου ἐπιστράφητι πρός με καὶ λυτρώσομαί σε
23 Enyi mbingu, imbeni kwa furaha, kwa maana Bwana amefanya jambo hili. Ee vilindi vya dunia, piga kelele. Enyi milima, pazeni sauti kwa nyimbo, enyi misitu na miti yenu yote, kwa maana Bwana amemkomboa Yakobo, ameuonyesha utukufu wake katika Israeli.
εὐφράνθητε οὐρανοί ὅτι ἠλέησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν Ισραηλ σαλπίσατε θεμέλια τῆς γῆς βοήσατε ὄρη εὐφροσύνην οἱ βουνοὶ καὶ πάντα τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἐλυτρώσατο ὁ θεὸς τὸν Ιακωβ καὶ Ισραηλ δοξασθήσεται
24 “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana, Mkombozi wako, aliyekuumba tumboni: “Mimi ni Bwana, niliyeumba vitu vyote, niliyezitanda mbingu peke yangu, niliyeitandaza nchi mwenyewe,
οὕτως λέγει κύριος ὁ λυτρούμενός σε καὶ ὁ πλάσσων σε ἐκ κοιλίας ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ συντελῶν πάντα ἐξέτεινα τὸν οὐρανὸν μόνος καὶ ἐστερέωσα τὴν γῆν τίς ἕτερος
25 “mimi huzipinga ishara za manabii wa uongo, na kuwatia upumbavu waaguzi, niyapinduaye maarifa ya wenye hekima, na kuyafanya kuwa upuzi,
διασκεδάσει σημεῖα ἐγγαστριμύθων καὶ μαντείας ἀπὸ καρδίας ἀποστρέφων φρονίμους εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ τὴν βουλὴν αὐτῶν μωρεύων
26 niyathibitishaye maneno ya watumishi wake, na kutimiza utabiri wa wajumbe wake, “niambiaye Yerusalemu, ‘Itakaliwa na watu,’ niambiaye miji ya Yuda kuwa, ‘Itajengwa,’ na kuhusu magofu yake, ‘Mimi nitayatengeneza,’
καὶ ἱστῶν ῥήματα παιδὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν βουλὴν τῶν ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ ἀληθεύων ὁ λέγων Ιερουσαλημ κατοικηθήσῃ καὶ ταῖς πόλεσιν τῆς Ιουδαίας οἰκοδομηθήσεσθε καὶ τὰ ἔρημα αὐτῆς ἀνατελεῖ
27 niambiaye kilindi cha maji, ‘Kauka, nami nitakausha vijito vyako,’
ὁ λέγων τῇ ἀβύσσῳ ἐρημωθήσῃ καὶ τοὺς ποταμούς σου ξηρανῶ
28 nisemaye kuhusu Koreshi, ‘Yeye ni mchungaji wangu, naye atatimiza yote yanipendezayo; atauambia Yerusalemu, “Ukajengwe tena,” na kuhusu Hekalu, “Misingi yake na iwekwe.”’
ὁ λέγων Κύρῳ φρονεῖν καὶ πάντα τὰ θελήματά μου ποιήσει ὁ λέγων Ιερουσαλημ οἰκοδομηθήσῃ καὶ τὸν οἶκον τὸν ἅγιόν μου θεμελιώσω
