Isaya 49
1 Nisikilizeni, enyi visiwa, sikieni hili, ninyi mataifa mlio mbali: Kabla sijazaliwa, Bwana aliniita, tangu kuzaliwa kwangu, amelitaja jina langu.
to hear: hear coastland to(wards) me and to listen people from distant LORD from belly: womb to call: call to me from belly mother my to remember name my
2 Akafanya kinywa changu kuwa kama upanga ulionolewa, katika uvuli wa mkono wake akanificha; akanifanya kuwa mshale uliosuguliwa, na kunificha katika podo lake.
and to set: make lip my like/as sword sharp in/on/with shadow hand his to hide me and to set: make me to/for arrow to purify in/on/with quiver his to hide me

4 Lakini nilisema, “Nimetumika bure, nimetumia nguvu zangu bure bila faida. Hata hivyo linalonistahili liko mkononi mwa Bwana, nao ujira wangu uko kwa Mungu wangu.”
and I to say to/for vain be weary/toil to/for formlessness and vanity strength my to end: expend surely justice my with LORD and wages my with God my
5 Sasa Bwana asema: yeye aliyeniumba tumboni kuwa mtumishi wake, kumrudisha tena Yakobo kwake na kumkusanyia Israeli, kwa maana nimepata heshima machoni pa Bwana, naye Mungu wangu amekuwa nguvu yangu;
and now to say LORD to form: formed me from belly: womb to/for servant/slave to/for him to/for to return: return Jacob to(wards) him and Israel (to/for him *Q(K)*) to gather and to honor: honour in/on/with eye LORD and God my to be strength my
6 yeye asema: “Je, ni jambo dogo sana wewe kuwa mtumishi wangu ili kurejeza makabila ya Yakobo, na kuwarudisha wale Waisraeli niliowahifadhi? Pia nitakufanya uwe nuru kwa ajili ya watu wa Mataifa, ili upate kuleta wokovu wangu hata miisho ya dunia.”
and to say to lighten from to be you to/for me servant/slave to/for to arise: establish [obj] tribe Jacob (and to watch *Q(K)*) Israel to/for to return: return and to give: make you to/for light nation to/for to be salvation my till end [the] land: country/planet
7 Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana, yeye Mkombozi na Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli, kwake yeye aliyedharauliwa na kuchukiwa na taifa, kwa mtumishi wa watawala: “Wafalme watakuona na kusimama, wakuu wataona na kuanguka kifudifudi, kwa sababu ya Bwana, aliye mwaminifu, yeye Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli, aliyekuchagua wewe.”
thus to say LORD to redeem: redeem Israel holy his to/for to despise soul: person to/for to abhor nation to/for servant/slave to rule king to see: see and to arise: rise ruler and to bow because LORD which be faithful holy Israel and to choose you
8 Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Wakati wangu uliokubalika nitakujibu, nami katika siku ya wokovu nitakusaidia; nitakuhifadhi, nami nitakufanya kuwa agano kwa ajili ya watu, ili kurudisha nchi na kugawanyia urithi tena wale waliokuwa ukiwa,

9 kuwaambia mateka, ‘Tokeni nje,’ nao wale walio gizani, ‘Kuweni huru!’ “Watajilisha kando ya barabara na kupata malisho yao juu ya kila kilima kilicho kitupu.

10 Hawataona njaa wala kuona kiu, wala hari ya jangwani au jua halitawapiga. Yeye mwenye huruma juu yao atawaonyesha njia, na kuwaongoza kando ya chemchemi za maji.
not be hungry and not to thirst and not to smite them scorching and sun for to have compassion them to lead them and upon spring water to guide them
11 Nitaifanya milima yangu yote kuwa barabara, na njia kuu zangu zitainuliwa.
and to set: make all mountain: mount my to/for way: road and highway my to exalt [emph?]
12 Tazama, watakuja kutoka mbali: wengine kutoka kaskazini, wengine kutoka magharibi, wengine kutoka nchi ya Sinimu.”
behold these from distant to come (in): come and behold these from north and from sea: west and these from land: country/planet Syene
13 Pigeni kelele kwa furaha, enyi mbingu; furahi, ee dunia; pazeni sauti kwa kuimba, enyi milima! Kwa maana Bwana anawafariji watu wake, naye atakuwa na huruma kwa watu wake walioumizwa.

14 Lakini Sayuni alisema, “Bwana ameniacha, Bwana amenisahau.”

15 “Je, mama aweza kumsahau mtoto aliyeko matitini mwake akinyonya, wala asiwe na huruma juu ya mtoto aliyemzaa? Ingawa anaweza kusahau, mimi sitakusahau wewe!
to forget woman infant her from to have compassion son: child belly: womb her also these to forget and I not to forget you
16 Tazama, nimekuchora kama muhuri katika vitanga vya mikono yangu, kuta zako zi mbele yangu daima.

17 Wana wako wanaharakisha kurudi, nao wale waliokuteka wanaondoka kwako.
to hasten son: child your to overthrow you and to destroy you from you to come out: come
18 Inua macho yako ukatazame pande zote: wana wako wote wanakusanyika na kukujia. Kwa hakika kama vile niishivyo, utawavaa wote kama mapambo, na kujifunga nao kama bibi arusi,” asema Bwana.
to lift: look around eye your and to see: see all their to gather to come (in): come to/for you alive I utterance LORD for all their like/as ornament to clothe and to conspire them like/as daughter-in-law: bride
19 “Ingawa uliangamizwa na kufanywa ukiwa, na nchi yako ikaharibiwa, sasa nafasi itakuwa finyu kwa ajili ya watu wako, nao wale waliokuangamiza watakuwa mbali sana.
for desolation your and be desolate: destroyed your and land: country/planet ruins your for now be distressed from to dwell and to remove to swallow up you
20 Watoto waliozaliwa wakati wa msiba wako bado watakuambia, ‘Mahali hapa ni finyu sana kwetu, tupe eneo kubwa zaidi la kuishi.’
still to say in/on/with ear your son: child bereavement your narrow to/for me [the] place to approach: approach [emph?] to/for me and to dwell
21 Ndipo utasema moyoni mwako, ‘Ni nani aliyenizalia hawa? Nilikuwa nimefiwa, tena tasa; nilikuwa nimehamishwa na kukataliwa. Ni nani aliyewalea hawa? Niliachwa peke yangu, lakini hawa wametoka wapi?’”
and to say in/on/with heart your who? to beget to/for me [obj] these and I childless and solitary to reveal: remove and to turn aside: remove and these who? to magnify look! I to remain to/for alone me these where? they(masc.)
22 Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenyezi: “Tazama, nitawaashiria watu wa Mataifa, nitainua bendera yangu kwa mataifa; watawaleta wana wako mikononi yao, na kuwabeba binti zenu juu ya mabega yao.
thus to say Lord YHWH/God behold to lift: raise to(wards) nation hand my and to(wards) people to exalt ensign my and to come (in): bring son: child your in/on/with bosom and daughter your upon shoulder to lift: bear
23 Wafalme watakuwa baba zenu wa kuwalea, na malkia wao watakuwa mama zenu wa kuwalea. Watasujudu mbele yako nyuso zao zikigusa ardhi; wataramba mavumbi yaliyo miguuni mwako. Ndipo utajua ya kuwa Mimi ndimi Bwana; wale wanaonitumaini mimi hawataaibika.”
and to be king be faithful you and princess their to suckle your face land: soil to bow to/for you and dust foot your to lick and to know for I LORD which not be ashamed to await me
24 Je, nyara zaweza kuchukuliwa kutoka kwa mashujaa wa vita, au mateka kuokolewa kutoka kwa watu wakali?
to take: take from mighty man prey and if captivity righteous to escape
25 Lakini hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Naam, mateka watachukuliwa kutoka kwa mashujaa, na nyara zitapokonywa kutoka kwa watu wakali. Nitashindana na wale wanaoshindana nawe, nami nitawaokoa watoto wako.
for thus to say LORD also captivity mighty man to take: take and prey ruthless to escape and with opponent your I to contend and [obj] son: child your I to save
26 Nitawafanya wale wanaokuonea kula nyama yao wenyewe, watalewa kwa damu yao wenyewe, kama vile kwa mvinyo. Ndipo wanadamu wote watajua ya kuwa Mimi, Bwana, ni Mwokozi wako, Mkombozi wako, niliye Mwenye Nguvu wa Yakobo.”
and to eat [obj] to oppress you [obj] flesh their and like/as sweet blood their be drunk [emph?] and to know all flesh for I LORD to save you and to redeem: redeem your mighty Jacob
