Isaya 62
1 Kwa ajili ya Sayuni sitanyamaza, kwa ajili ya Yerusalemu sitatulia, mpaka haki yake itakapoangaza kama mapambazuko, wokovu wake kama mwanga wa moto.
For [the] sake of Zion not I will be silent and for [the] sake of Jerusalem not I will remain quiet until it will go forth like brightness righteousness its and salvation its like a torch [which] it burns.
2 Mataifa wataona haki yako, nao wafalme wote wataona utukufu wako; wewe utaitwa kwa jina jipya lile ambalo kinywa cha Bwana kitatamka.
And they will see nations righteousness your and all kings glory your and it will be called to you a name new which [the] mouth of Yahweh it will designate it.
3 Utakuwa taji ya fahari mkononi mwa Bwana, taji ya kifalme mkononi mwa Mungu wako.
And you will be a crown of beauty in [the] hand of Yahweh (and a headdress of *Q(K)*) royalty in [the] palm of God your.
4 Hawatakuita tena Aliyeachwa, wala nchi yako kuiita Ukiwa. Bali utaitwa Hefsiba, nayo nchi yako itaitwa Beula, kwa maana Bwana atakufurahia, nayo nchi yako itaolewa.
Not it will be said of you again abandoned and of land your not it will be said again desolation that to you it will be called Hephzi-bah and to land your married for he delights Yahweh in you and land your it will be married.
5 Kama vile kijana aoavyo mwanamwali, ndivyo wanao watakavyokuoa wewe; kama bwana arusi amfurahiavyo bibi arusi wake, ndivyo Mungu wako atakavyokufurahia wewe.
For he marries a young man a young woman they will marry you sons your and [the] joy of a bridegroom on a bride he will rejoice on you God your.
6 Nimeweka walinzi juu ya kuta zako, ee Yerusalemu, hawatanyamaza mchana wala usiku. Ninyi wenye kumwita Bwana, msitulie,
On walls your O Jerusalem I have appointed watchmen all the day and all the night continually not they will be silent O those [who] cause to remember Yahweh [let] not rest [belong] to you.
7 msimwache apumzike hadi atakapoufanya imara Yerusalemu na kuufanya uwe sifa ya dunia.
And may not you give rest to him until he will establish and until he will make Jerusalem praise on the earth.
8 Bwana ameapa kwa mkono wake wa kuume na kwa mkono wake wenye nguvu: “Kamwe sitawapa tena adui zenu nafaka zenu kama chakula chao; kamwe wageni hawatakunywa tena divai mpya ambayo mmeitaabikia,
He swears an oath Yahweh by right [hand] his and by [the] arm of strength his if I will give grain your again food to enemies your and if they will drink sons of foreignness new wine your which you have labored for it.
9 lakini wale waivunao nafaka wataila na kumsifu Bwana, nao wale wakusanyao zabibu watainywa divai yake katika nyua za patakatifu pangu.”
For [those who] gather it they will eat it and they will praise Yahweh and [those who] gather it they will drink it in [the] courts of holiness my.
10 Piteni, piteni katika malango! Tengenezeni njia kwa ajili ya watu. Jengeni, jengeni njia kuu! Ondoeni mawe. Inueni bendera kwa ajili ya mataifa.
Pass pass in the gates make clear [the] way of the people build up build up the highway clear [it] from stone[s] raise a standard over the peoples.
11 Bwana ametoa tangazo mpaka miisho ya dunia: “Mwambie Binti Sayuni, ‘Tazama, mwokozi wako anakuja! Tazama ujira wake uko pamoja naye, na malipo yake yanafuatana naye!’”
There! Yahweh he has proclaimed to [the] end of the earth say to [the] daughter of Zion there! salvation your [is] about to come there! reward his [is] with him and recompense his [is] before him.
12 Wataitwa Watu Watakatifu, Waliokombolewa na Bwana; nawe utaitwa Aliyetafutwa, Mji Usioachwa Tena.
And people will call them [the] people of holiness [the] redeemed of Yahweh and to you it will be called [one] sought out a city [which] not it has been forsaken.
