Isaya 64
1 Laiti ungelipasua mbingu na kushuka chini, ili milima ingelitetemeka mbele zako!
if you tore [the] heavens you came down from before you mountains they shook.
2 Kama vile moto uteketezavyo vijiti na kusababisha maji kuchemka, shuka ukafanye jina lako lijulikane kwa adui zako, na kusababisha mataifa yatetemeke mbele zako!
As kindles fire brushwood water it boils fire to make known name your to opponents your from before you nations they will quake.
3 Kwa maana ulipofanya mambo ya kutisha ambayo hatukuyatazamia, ulishuka, nayo milima ikatetemeka mbele zako.
When doing you awesome [deeds] [which] not we were looking for you came down from before you mountains they shook.
4 Tangu nyakati za zamani hakuna yeyote aliyesikia, hakuna sikio lililotambua, hakuna jicho lililomwona Mungu mwingine ila wewe, anayetenda mambo kwa ajili ya wale wamngojeao.
And from long ago not people have heard not people have given ear eye not it has seen a God besides you [who] he acts for [one who] waits for him.
5 Uliwasaidia watu wale watendao yaliyo haki kwa furaha, wale wazikumbukao njia zako. Lakini wakati tulipoendelea kutenda dhambi kinyume na njia zako, ulikasirika. Tutawezaje basi kuokolewa?
You meet [one who] rejoices and [one who] does righteousness in ways your they remember you there! you you were angry and we sinned in them long duration so we may be saved?
6 Sisi sote tumekuwa kama mtu aliye najisi, nayo matendo yetu yote ya uadilifu ni kama matambaa machafu; sisi sote tunasinyaa kama jani, na kama upepo maovu yetu hutupeperusha.
And we have become like unclean [person] all of us and [are] like a garment of menstruation all righteousness our and we have withered like leafage all of us and iniquities our like the wind they carry off us.
7 Hakuna yeyote anayeliitia jina lako wala anayejitahidi kukushika, kwa kuwa umetuficha uso wako na kutuacha tudhoofike kwa sababu ya dhambi zetu.
And there not [is one who] calls on name your [one who] rouses himself to take hold on you for you have hidden face your from us and you have melted us in [the] hand of iniquity our.
8 Lakini, Ee Bwana, wewe ndiwe Baba yetu. Sisi ni udongo, wewe ndiye mfinyanzi; sisi sote tu kazi ya mkono wako.
And now O Yahweh [are] father our you we [are] the clay and you [are] [the] [one who] formed us and [are] [the] work of hand your all of us.
9 Ee Bwana, usikasirike kupita kiasi, usizikumbuke dhambi zetu milele. Ee Bwana, utuangalie, twakuomba, kwa kuwa sisi sote tu watu wako.
May not you be angry O Yahweh up to muchness and may not for ever you remember iniquity here! look please [are] people your all of us.
10 Miji yako mitakatifu imekuwa jangwa; hata Sayuni ni jangwa, Yerusalemu ni ukiwa.
[the] cities of Holiness your they have been a wilderness Zion a wilderness it has been Jerusalem [is] a desolation.
11 Hekalu letu takatifu na tukufu, mahali ambapo baba zetu walikusifu wewe, limechomwa kwa moto, navyo vitu vyote tulivyovithamini vimeharibika.
[the] house of Holiness our and splendor our where they praised you ancestors our it has become a burning of fire and all pleasant things our it has become a ruin.
12 Ee Bwana, baada ya haya yote, utajizuia? Je, utanyamaza kimya na kutuadhibu kupita kiasi?
¿ On these [things] will you restrain yourself O Yahweh will you be silent? and will you afflict? us up to muchness.
