Isaya 59
1 Hakika mkono wa Bwana si mfupi hata usiweze kuokoa, wala sikio lake si zito hata lisiweze kusikia.
look! not be short hand: power LORD from to save and not to honor: dull ear his from to hear: hear
2 Lakini maovu yenu yamewatenga ninyi na Mungu wenu, dhambi zenu zimewaficha ninyi uso wake, ili asisikie.
that if: except if: except iniquity: crime your to be to separate between you to/for between God your and sin your to hide face from you from to hear: hear
3 Kwa maana mikono yenu imetiwa mawaa kwa damu na vidole vyenu kwa hatia. Midomo yenu imenena uongo, nazo ndimi zenu zimenongʼona mambo maovu.
for palm your to defile in/on/with blood and finger your in/on/with iniquity: crime lips your to speak: speak deception tongue your injustice to mutter
4 Hakuna hata mmoja anayedai kwa haki; hakuna hata mmoja anayetetea shauri lake kwa haki. Wanategemea mabishano matupu na kusema uongo, huchukua mimba ya magomvi na kuzaa uovu.
nothing to call: call to in/on/with righteousness and nothing to judge in/on/with faithfulness to trust upon formlessness and to speak: speak vanity: false to conceive trouble and to beget evil: wickedness
5 Huangua mayai ya nyoka wenye sumu kali na kutanda wavu wa buibui. Yeyote alaye mayai yao atakufa, na wakati moja lianguliwapo, nyoka hutoka humo.
egg serpent to break up/open and web spider to weave [the] to eat from egg their to die and [the] crushed to break up/open viper
6 Utando wao wa buibui haufai kwa nguo; hawawezi kujifunika kwa kile walichokitengeneza. Matendo yao ni matendo maovu, vitendo vya jeuri vipo mikononi mwao.
web their not to be to/for garment and not to cover in/on/with deed: work their deed: work their deed: work evil: wickedness and work violence in/on/with palm their
7 Miguu yao hukimbilia kwenye dhambi, ni myepesi kumwaga damu isiyo na hatia. Mawazo yao ni mawazo maovu; uharibifu na maangamizi huonekana katika njia zao.
foot their to/for bad: evil to run: run and to hasten to/for to pour: kill blood innocent plot their plot evil: wickedness violence and breaking in/on/with highway their
8 Hawajui njia ya amani, hakuna haki katika mapito yao. Wameyageuza kuwa njia za upotovu, hakuna apitaye njia hizo atakayeifahamu amani.
way: conduct peace not to know and nothing justice in/on/with track their path their to twist to/for them all to tread in/on/with her not to know peace
9 Hivyo uadilifu uko mbali nasi, nayo haki haitufikii. Tunatazamia nuru, kumbe! Yote ni giza, tunatazamia mwanga, lakini tunatembea katika giza kuu.
upon so to remove justice from us and not to overtake us righteousness to await to/for light and behold darkness to/for brightness in/on/with darkness to go: walk
10 Tunapapasa ukuta kama kipofu, tunapapasa katika njia zetu kama watu wasio na macho. Adhuhuri tunajikwaa kama wakati wa gizagiza; katikati ya wenye nguvu, tuko kama wafu.
to grope like/as blind wall and like/as nothing eye to grope to stumble in/on/with midday like/as twilight in/on/with strong like/as to die
11 Wote tunanguruma kama dubu; tunalia kwa maombolezo kama hua. Tunatafuta haki, kumbe hakuna kabisa; tunatafuta wokovu, lakini uko mbali.
to roar like/as bear all our and like/as dove to mutter to mutter to await to/for justice and nothing to/for salvation to remove from us
12 Kwa sababu makosa yetu ni mengi machoni pako, na dhambi zetu zinashuhudia dhidi yetu. Makosa yetu yako pamoja nasi daima, nasi tunayatambua maovu yetu:
for to multiply transgression our before you and sin our to answer in/on/with us for transgression our with us and iniquity: crime our to know them
13 Uasi na udanganyifu dhidi ya Bwana, kumgeuzia Mungu wetu kisogo, tukichochea udhalimu na maasi, tukinena uongo ambao mioyo yetu imeuhifadhi.
to transgress and to deceive in/on/with LORD and to remove from after God our to speak: speak oppression and revolt to conceive and to mutter from heart word deception
14 Hivyo uadilifu umerudishwa nyuma, nayo haki inasimama mbali, kweli imejikwaa njiani, uaminifu hauwezi kuingia.
and to remove back justice and righteousness from distant to stand: stand for to stumble in/on/with street/plaza truth: true and upright not be able to/for to come (in): come
15 Kweli haipatikani popote, na yeyote aepukaye uovu huwa mawindo. Bwana alitazama naye akachukizwa kwamba hapakuwepo haki.
and to be [the] truth: true to lack and to turn aside: depart from bad: evil to loot and to see: see LORD and be evil in/on/with eye: appearance his for nothing justice
16 Aliona kuwa hakuwepo hata mtu mmoja, akashangaa kwamba hakuwepo hata mmoja wa kuingilia kati; hivyo mkono wake mwenyewe ndio uliomfanyia wokovu, nayo haki yake mwenyewe ndiyo iliyomtegemeza.
and to see: see for nothing man: anyone and be desolate: appalled for nothing to fall on and to save to/for him arm his and righteousness his he/she/it to support him
17 Alivaa haki kama dirii kifuani mwake, na chapeo ya wokovu kichwani mwake, alivaa mavazi ya kisasi naye akajifunga wivu kama joho.
and to clothe righteousness like/as armor and helmet salvation in/on/with head his and to clothe garment vengeance clothing and to enwrap like/as robe jealousy
18 Kulingana na kile walichokuwa wametenda, ndivyo atakavyolipa ghadhabu kwa watesi wake na kisasi kwa adui zake, atavilipa visiwa sawa na wanavyostahili.
like/as upon recompense like/as upon to complete rage to/for enemy his recompense to/for enemy his to/for coastland recompense to complete
19 Kuanzia magharibi, watu wataliogopa jina la Bwana na kuanzia mawio ya jua, watauheshimu utukufu wake. Wakati adui atakapokuja kama mafuriko, Roho wa Bwana atainua kiwango dhidi yake na kumshinda.
and to fear: revere from west [obj] name LORD and from east sun [obj] glory his for to come (in): come like/as river narrow spirit: breath LORD to flee in/on/with him
20 “Mkombozi atakuja Sayuni, kwa wale wa Yakobo wanaozitubu dhambi zao,” asema Bwana.
and to come (in): come to/for Zion to redeem: redeem and to/for to return: repent transgression in/on/with Jacob utterance LORD
21 “Kwa habari yangu mimi, hili ndilo agano langu nao,” asema Bwana. “Roho wangu, aliye juu yenu, na maneno yangu ambayo nimeyaweka katika vinywa vyenu, havitaondoka vinywani mwenu, wala kutoka vinywani mwa watoto wenu, wala kutoka vinywani mwa wazao wao, kuanzia sasa na hata milele,” asema Bwana.
and I this covenant my with them to say LORD spirit my which upon you and word my which to set: put in/on/with lip your not to remove from lip your and from lip seed: children your and from lip seed: children seed: children your to say LORD from now and till forever: enduring
