Isaya 54
1 “Imba, ewe mwanamke tasa, wewe ambaye kamwe hukuzaa mtoto; paza sauti kwa kuimba, piga kelele kwa furaha, wewe ambaye kamwe hukupata utungu; kwa sababu watoto wa mwanamke aliyeachwa ukiwa ni wengi kuliko wa mwanamke mwenye mume,” asema Bwana.
Shout for joy O barren [woman] [who] not she has given birth break forth a shout of joy and cry aloud O [one who] not she has been in labor for [are] many [the] children of a desolate [woman] more than [the] children of a married [woman] he says Yahweh.
2 “Panua mahali pa hema lako, tandaza mapazia ya hema lako uyaeneze mbali, wala usiyazuie; ongeza urefu wa kamba zako, imarisha vigingi vyako.
Enlarge - [the] place of tent your and [the] tent curtains of dwellings your may people stretch out may not you refrain make long tent cords your and tent pegs your make strong.
3 Kwa maana utaenea upande wa kuume na upande wa kushoto; wazao wako watayamiliki mataifa na kukaa katika miji yao iliyoachwa ukiwa.
For right and left you will spread out and offspring your nations he will take possession of and cities desolated they will cause to be inhabited.
4 “Usiogope, wewe hutaaibika. Usiogope aibu, wewe hutaaibishwa. Wewe utasahau aibu ya ujana wako, wala hutakumbuka tena mashutumu ya ujane wako.
May not you be afraid for not you will be put to shame and may not you be ashamed for not you will display shame for [the] shame of youth your you will forget and [the] reproach of widowhood your not you will remember again.
5 Kwa maana Muumba wako ndiye mume wako, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote ndilo jina lake, yeye Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli ni Mkombozi wako, yeye anaitwa Mungu wa dunia yote.
That husband your [is] maker your [is] Yahweh of hosts name his and [is] redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel [the] God of all the earth he is called.
6 Bwana atakuita urudi kana kwamba ulikuwa mke aliyeachwa na kuhuzunishwa rohoni; kama mke aliyeolewa bado angali kijana na kukataliwa,” asema Mungu wako.
For like a wife abandoned and grieved of spirit he will call you Yahweh and a wife of youth if she is rejected he says God your.
7 “Kwa kitambo kidogo nilikuacha, lakini kwa huruma nyingi nitakurudisha.
For a moment small I abandoned you and in compassion great I will gather you.
8 Katika ukali wa hasira nilikuficha uso wangu kwa kitambo, lakini kwa fadhili za milele nitakuwa na huruma juu yako,” asema Bwana Mkombozi wako.
In a flood of wrath I hid face my a moment from you and in covenant loyalty of perpetuity I will have compassion on you he says redeemer your Yahweh.
9 “Kwangu mimi jambo hili ni kama siku za Noa, nilipoapa kuwa maji ya Noa kamwe hayatafunika tena dunia. Hivyo sasa nimeapa sitawakasirikia ninyi, kamwe sitawakemea tena.
For [is] [the] water of Noah this to me which I swore from passing [the] waters of Noah again over the earth so I swear from being angry towards you and from rebuking you.
10 Ijapotikisika milima, na vilima viondolewe, hata hivyo upendo wangu usiokoma kwenu hautatikisika, wala agano langu la amani halitaondolewa,” asema Bwana, mwenye huruma juu yenu.
That the mountains they will be removed and the hills they will shake and covenant loyalty my from with you not it will be removed and [the] covenant of peace my not it will shake he says [one who] has compassion on you Yahweh.
11 “Ewe mji uliyeteswa, uliyepigwa kwa dhoruba na usiyetulizwa, nitakujenga kwa almasi, nitaweka misingi yako kwa yakuti samawi.
O afflicted [one] it is storm tossed not it has been comforted here! I [am] about to set in antimony stones your and I will refound you with sapphires.
12 Nitafanya minara yako ya akiki, malango yako kwa vito vingʼaavyo, nazo kuta zako zote za vito vya thamani.
And I will make ruby battlements your and gates your stones of beryl and all border your stones of delight.
13 Watoto wako wote watafundishwa na Bwana, nayo amani ya watoto wako itakuwa kuu.
And all children your [will be] taught of Yahweh and [will be] great [the] peace of children your.
14 Kwa haki utathibitika: Kuonewa kutakuwa mbali nawe; hutaogopa chochote. Hofu itakuwa mbali nawe; haitakukaribia wewe.
In righteousness you will be established be distant from oppression for not you will be afraid and from terror for not it will draw near to you.
15 Kama mtu yeyote akikushambulia, haitakuwa kwa ruhusa yangu; yeyote akushambuliaye atajisalimisha kwako.
There! certainly anyone will quarrel not from me whoever [is] quarreling with you on you he will fall.
16 “Tazama, ni mimi niliyemuumba mhunzi, yeye afukutaye makaa kuwa moto, na kutengeneza silaha inayofaa kwa kazi yake. Tena ni mimi niliyemwambia mharabu kufanya uharibifu mwingi.
(Here! *Q(K)*) I I created a craftsman [who] blows on a fire of charcoal and [who] produces a weapon for work its and I I created a destroyer to ruin.
17 Hakuna silaha itakayofanyizwa dhidi yako itakayofanikiwa, nawe utauthibitisha kuwa mwongo kila ulimi utakaokushtaki. Huu ndio urithi wa watumishi wa Bwana na hii ndiyo haki yao itokayo kwangu,” asema Bwana.
Any weapon [which] it will be formed on you not it will succeed and every tongue [which] it will arise with you to judgment you will condemn as guilty this [is] [the] inheritance of [the] servants of Yahweh and righteousness their from with me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
