Isaya 52
1 Amka, amka, ee Sayuni, jivike nguvu. Vaa mavazi yako ya fahari, ee Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu. Asiyetahiriwa na aliye najisi hataingia kwako tena.
Aries, arise: put on thy strength, O Zion: put on thy garments of thy beautie, O Ierusalem, the holy citie: for hencefoorth there shall no more come into thee the vncircumcised and the vncleane.
2 Jikungʼute mavumbi yako, inuka, uketi kwenye kiti cha enzi, ee Yerusalemu. Jifungue minyororo iliyo shingoni mwako, ee Binti Sayuni uliye mateka.
Shake thy selfe from the dust: arise, and sit downe, O Ierusalem: loose the bandes of thy necke, O thou captiue daughter, Zion.
3 Kwa kuwa hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Mliuzwa pasipo malipo, nanyi mtakombolewa bila fedha.”
For thus sayeth the Lord, Yee were solde for naught: therefore shall ye be redeemed without money.
4 Kwa maana hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenyezi: “Hapo kwanza watu wangu walishuka Misri kuishi, hatimaye, Ashuru wakawaonea.
For thus saith the Lord God, My people went downe afore time into Egypt to soiourne there, and Asshur oppressed them without cause.
5 “Basi sasa nina nini hapa?” asema Bwana. “Kwa kuwa watu wangu wamechukuliwa pasipo malipo, nao wale wanaowatawala wanawadhihaki,” asema Bwana. “Mchana kutwa jina langu limetukanwa bila kikomo.
Nowe therefore what haue I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for naught, and they that rule ouer them, make them to howle, saith the Lord? and my Name all the day continually is blasphemed?
6 Kwa hiyo watu wangu watalijua Jina langu; kwa hiyo katika siku ile watajua kwamba ndimi niliyetangulia kulisema. Naam, ni mimi.”
Therefore my people shall know my Name: therefore they shall know in that day, that I am he that doe speake: beholde, it is I.
7 Tazama jinsi miguu ya wale waletao habari njema ilivyo mizuri juu ya milima, wale wanaotangaza amani, wanaoleta habari njema, wanaotangaza wokovu, wauambiao Sayuni, “Mungu wako anatawala!”
How beautifull vpon the mountaines are the feete of him, that declareth and publisheth peace? that declareth good tidings, and publisheth saluation, saying vnto Zion, Thy God reigneth?
8 Sikiliza! Walinzi wako wanapaza sauti zao, pamoja wanapaza sauti zao kwa furaha. Wakati Bwana atakaporejea Sayuni, wataliona kwa macho yao wenyewe.
The voyce of thy watchmen shalbe heard: they shall lift vp their voyce, and shoute together: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring againe Zion.
9 Pazeni sauti ya nyimbo za furaha pamoja, enyi magofu ya Yerusalemu, kwa maana Bwana amewafariji watu wake, ameikomboa Yerusalemu.
O ye desolate places of Ierusalem, bee glad and reioyce together: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Ierusalem.
10 Mkono mtakatifu wa Bwana umefunuliwa machoni pa mataifa yote, nayo miisho yote ya dunia itaona wokovu wa Mungu wetu.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arme in the sight of all the Gentiles, and all the endes of the earth shall see the saluation of our God.
11 Ondokeni, ondokeni, tokeni huko! Msiguse kitu chochote kilicho najisi! Tokeni kati yake mwe safi, ninyi mchukuao vyombo vya Bwana.
Depart, depart ye: goe out from thence and touche no vncleane thing: goe out of the middes of her: be ye cleane, that beare the vessels of the Lord.
12 Lakini hamtaondoka kwa haraka, wala hamtakwenda kwa kukimbia; kwa maana Bwana atatangulia mbele yenu, Mungu wa Israeli atakuwa mlinzi nyuma yenu.
For ye shall not goe out with haste, nor depart by fleeing away: but the Lord will goe before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.
13 Tazama, mtumishi wangu atatenda kwa hekima; atatukuzwa, na kuinuliwa juu, na kukwezwa sana.
Beholde, my seruant shall prosper: he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very hie.
14 Kama walivyokuwa wengi walioshangazwa naye, kwani uso wake ulikuwa umeharibiwa sana zaidi ya mtu yeyote na umbo lake kuharibiwa zaidi ya mfano wa mwanadamu:
As many were astonied at thee (his visage was so deformed of men, and his forme of the sonnes of men)
15 hivyo atayashangaza mataifa mengi, nao wafalme watafunga vinywa vyao kwa sababu yake. Kwa kuwa yale ambayo hawakuambiwa, watayaona, nayo yale wasiyoyasikia, watayafahamu.
so shall hee sprinkle many nations: the Kings shall shut their mouthes at him: for that which had not bene tolde them, shall they see, and that which they had not heard, shall they vnderstande.
