< Isaya 60 >
1 “Ondoka, angaza, kwa kuwa nuru yako imekuja na utukufu wa Bwana umezuka juu yako.
Arise shine for it has come light your and [the] glory of Yahweh on you it has dawned.
2 Tazama, giza litaifunika dunia na giza kuu litayafunika mataifa, lakini Bwana atazuka juu yako na utukufu wake utaonekana juu yako.
For there! darkness it will cover [the] earth and thick darkness peoples and on you he will dawn Yahweh and glory his over you it will appear.
3 Mataifa watakuja kwenye nuru yako na wafalme kwa mwanga wa mapambazuko yako.
And they will come nations to light your and kings to [the] brightness of dawn your.
4 “Inua macho yako na utazame pande zote: Wote wanakusanyika na kukujia, wana wako wanakuja toka mbali, nao binti zako wanabebwa mikononi.
Lift up all around eyes your and see all of them they have gathered together they have come to you sons your from a distance they will come and daughters your on a hip they will be carried.
5 Ndipo utatazama na kutiwa nuru, moyo wako utasisimka na kujaa furaha, mali zilizo baharini zitaletwa kwako, utajiri wa mataifa utakujilia.
Then you will see and you will be radiant and it will be in awe and it will be enlarged heart your for it will be turned over on you [the] abundance of [the] sea [the] wealth of nations they will come to you.
6 Makundi ya ngamia yatajaa katika nchi yako, ngamia vijana wa Midiani na Efa. Nao wote watokao Sheba watakuja, wakichukua dhahabu na uvumba na kutangaza sifa za Bwana.
A multitude of camels it will cover you [the] young camels of Midian and Ephah all of them from Sheba they will come gold and frankincense they will carry and [the] praises of Yahweh they will bear news.
7 Makundi yote ya Kedari yatakusanyika kwako, kondoo dume wa Nebayothi watakutumikia, watakubalika kama sadaka juu ya madhabahu yangu, nami nitalipamba Hekalu langu tukufu.
Every flock of Kedar they will gather to you [the] rams of Nebaioth they will serve you they will go up on acceptance altar my and [the] house of splendor my I will beautify.
8 “Ni nani hawa warukao kama mawingu, kama hua kuelekea kwenye viota vyao?
Who? [are] these like cloud they fly and like doves to openings their.
9 Hakika visiwa vinanitazama, merikebu za Tarshishi ndizo zinazotangulia, zikiwaleta wana wenu kutoka mbali, wakiwa na fedha na dhahabu zao, kwa heshima ya Bwana, Mungu wenu, yeye Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli, kwa maana amekujalia utukufu.
For for me - islands they will wait and [the] ships of Tarshish [will be] at the first [place] to bring children your from a distance silver their and gold their [will be] with them to [the] name of Yahweh God your and to [the] holy [one] of Israel for he has glorified you.
10 “Wageni watazijenga upya kuta zako, na wafalme wao watakutumikia. Ingawa katika hasira nilikupiga, lakini katika upendeleo wangu nitakuonyesha huruma.
And they will rebuild sons of foreignness walls your and kings their they will serve you for in wrath my I struck you and in favor my I have had compassion on you.
11 Malango yako yatakuwa wazi siku zote, kamwe hayatafungwa, mchana wala usiku, ili watu wapate kukuletea utajiri wa mataifa: wafalme wao wakiongoza maandamano ya ushindi.
And they will be open gates your continually by day and night not they will be shut to bring to you [the] wealth of nations and kings their [will be] led.
12 Kwa maana taifa au ufalme ule ambao hautakutumikia utaangamia; utaharibiwa kabisa.
For the nation and the kingdom which not they will serve you they will perish and the nations certainly they will become desolate.
13 “Utukufu wa Lebanoni utakujilia, msunobari, mvinje pamoja na mteashuri, ili kupapamba mahali pangu patakatifu, nami nitapatukuza mahali pa miguu yangu.
[the] splendor of Lebanon to you it will come cypress elm and box tree together to beautify [the] place of sanctuary my and [the] place of feet my I will glorify.
14 Wana wa wale waliokuonea watakuja wakisujudu mbele yako, wote wanaokudharau watasujudu kwenye miguu yako, nao watakuita Mji wa Bwana, Sayuni ya Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli.
And they will come to you by bowing down [the] children of [those who] afflicted you and they will bow down to [the] soles of feet your all [those who] despised you and they will call you [the] city of Yahweh Zion of [the] holy [one] of Israel.
15 “Ingawa umeachwa na kuchukiwa, bila yeyote anayesafiri ndani yako, nitakufanya kuwa fahari ya milele, na furaha ya vizazi vyote.
In place of being you forsaken and hated and there not [was one who] passed through and I will make you an exaltation of perpetuity a joy of a generation and a generation.
16 Utanyonya maziwa ya mataifa, na kunyonyeshwa matiti ya wafalme. Ndipo utakapojua kwamba Mimi, Bwana, ni Mwokozi wako, Mkombozi wako, niliye Mwenye Nguvu wa Yakobo.
And you will suck [the] milk of nations and [the] breast of kings you will suck and you will know that I Yahweh [am] deliverer your and redeemer your [the] mighty one of Jacob.
17 Badala ya shaba nitakuletea dhahabu, na fedha badala ya chuma. Badala ya mti nitakuletea shaba, na chuma badala ya mawe. Nitafanya amani kuwa mtawala wako, na haki kuwa mfalme wako.
In place of the bronze I will bring gold and in place of the iron I will bring silver and in place of the wood bronze and in place of the stone iron and I will make overseer[s] your peace and taskmasters your righteousness.
18 Jeuri hazitasikika tena katika nchi yako, wala maangamizi au uharibifu ndani ya mipaka yako, lakini utaita kuta zako Wokovu, na malango yako Sifa.
Not it will be heard again violence in land your devastation and destruction in territories your and you will call salvation walls your and gates your praise.
19 Jua halitakuwa tena nuru yako mchana, wala mwangaza wa mwezi hautakuangazia, kwa maana Bwana atakuwa nuru yako ya milele, naye Mungu wako atakuwa utukufu wako.
Not it will be to you again the sun for light by day and for brightness the moon not it will shine for you and he will become to you Yahweh a light of perpetuity and God your splendor your.
20 Jua lako halitazama tena, nao mwezi wako hautafifia tena; Bwana atakuwa nuru yako milele, nazo siku zako za huzuni zitakoma.
Not it will go again sun your and moon your not it will be removed for Yahweh he will become of you a light of perpetuity and they will be complete [the] days of mourning your.
21 Ndipo watu wako wote watakuwa waadilifu, nao wataimiliki nchi milele. Wao ni chipukizi nililolipanda, kazi ya mikono yangu, ili kuonyesha utukufu wangu.
And people your all of them [will be] righteous for ever they will possess [the] land [the] shoot of (planting my *Q(K)*) [the] work of hands my to glorify myself.
22 Aliye mdogo kwenu atakuwa elfu, mdogo kuliko wote atakuwa taifa lenye nguvu. Mimi ndimi Bwana; katika wakati wake nitayatimiza haya upesi.”
The small he will become [the] thousand and the little a nation mighty I [am] Yahweh at appropriate time its I will hasten it.
