Isaya 13
1 Tamko kuhusu Babeli, ambalo Isaya mtoto wa Amozi alipokea:
oracle Babylon which to see Isaiah son: child Amoz
2 Kwenye mlima wa wazi imewekwa bendera ya ishara, lia kwa sauti kwao, wapungie mikono waende kwenye lango la wenye vyeo.
upon mountain: mount be bare to lift: raise ensign to exalt voice to/for them to wave hand and to come (in): come entrance noble
3 Nimewamuru watakatifu wangu, ndio, nimewaita watu wangu wenye nguvu kutekeleza asira yangu, na hata watu wangu wanojigmba na kujiinua wenyewe.
I to command to/for to consecrate: consecate my also to call: call to mighty man my to/for face: anger my jubilant pride my
4 Kelele za umati wa watu kwenye milima, za watu wengi! Kelele za ghasiaza ufalme kama mataifa mengi yamekusanyika pamoja! Yahwe wa majeshi anapanga jeshi kwa vita.
voice: sound crowd in/on/with mountain: mount likeness people many voice: sound roar kingdom nation to gather LORD Hosts to reckon: list army battle
5 Wametoka katika nchi ya mbali, kutoka juu ya upeo wa macho. Ni Yahwe na silaha zake za hukumu, kuhiharibu nchi yetu.
to come (in): come from land: country/planet distance from end [the] heaven LORD and article/utensil indignation his to/for to destroy all [the] land: country/planet
6 Omboleza maana siku ya Yahwe imekaribia; itakuja na uharibifu kutoka kwa Mwenyenzi.
to wail for near day LORD like/as violence from Almighty to come (in): come
7 Hivyo basi mikono ining'inizwe kama kiwete, na kila moyo ulioyeyuka.
upon so all hand to slacken and all heart human to melt
8 Itawatisha; maumivu na uchungu atawapa wao, kama mwanamke ambaye anajifungua. Watangalia kwa kushangaa kwa kila mmoja mmoja; nyuso zao zitakuwa kama moto.
and to dismay pang and pain to grasp [emph?] like/as to beget to twist: writh in pain [emph?] man: anyone to(wards) neighbor his to astounded face flame face their
9 Tazama, siku za Yahwe zinakuja na laana kali wingi wa hasira, kuifanya nchi yenye ukiwa na kuharibu wenye dhambi katika nchi.
behold day LORD to come (in): come cruel and fury and burning anger face: anger to/for to set: make [the] land: country/planet to/for horror: destroyed and sinner her to destroy from her
10 Nyota ya mbinguni na matangamano havitatoa nuru yake. Jua litakuwa giza na hata mwenzi hautaangaza.
for star [the] heaven and constellation their not to shine light their to darken [the] sun in/on/with to come out: (sun)rise he and moon not to shine light his
11 Nitaihadhibu nchi kwa maovu yake na makosa ya uovu wao. Nitamaliza kiburi cha majivuno na nitawashusha wenye kiburi wasiwe makali.
and to reckon: punish upon world distress: evil and upon wicked iniquity: crime their and to cease pride arrogant and pride ruthless to abase
12 Nitawafanya watu kuwa nadra zaidi ya dhahabu nzuri na watu kuwa vigumu kupatikana zaidi ya dhahabu safi ya Ofiri.
be precious human from pure gold and man from gold Ophir
13 Hivyo basi nitazifanya mbingu kutingishika, na dunia itayumba kutoka sehemu iliyoko, Kwa hasira ya Yahwe wa majeshi, na siku ya hasira yake.
upon so heaven to tremble and to shake [the] land: country/planet from place her in/on/with fury LORD Hosts and in/on/with day burning anger face: anger his
14 Kama Paa anayewindwa au kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji, kila mtu atageukia watu wake na kukimbia kwenye nchi yake.
and to be like/as gazelle to banish and like/as flock and nothing to gather man: anyone to(wards) people his to turn and man: anyone to(wards) land: country/planet his to flee
15 Kwa yeyote atakayeonekana atauliwa, na yeyote atakayekamatwa atauliwa kwa upanga.
all [the] to find to pierce and all [the] to snatch to fall: kill in/on/with sword
16 Watoto wao watakatwa vipandevipande mbele ya macho yao. Nyumba zao zitavamiwa na wake zao watabakwa.
and infant their to dash in pieces to/for eye their to plunder house: home their and woman: wife their (to lie down: have sex *Q(K)*)
17 Tazama, ninakaribia kuwakoroga Wamede ili wawavamie wao, ambao hawaoni maana ya fedha wala furaha ya dhahabu.
look! I to rouse upon them [obj] Mede which silver: money not to devise: count and gold not to delight in in/on/with him
18 Mishale yao itawachoma vijana wadogo. Hakutakuwa na shimo kwa watoto wao na hawatawacha watoto wao.
and bow youth to dash in pieces and fruit belly: womb not to have compassion upon son: child not to pity eye their
19 Na Babali ufalme unaovutia zaidi, fahari ya mapambo ya wakaldyo, itaangamizwa na Mungu kama Sodoma na Gomora.
and to be Babylon beauty kingdom beauty pride Chaldea like/as overthrow God [obj] Sodom and [obj] Gomorrah
20 Hapatakuwa na wenyeji wala wakazi kutoka kizazi kimoja hadi kizazi kingine. Mwarabu atapiga hema lake uko wala wachungaji hawatalaza mifugo yao pale.
not to dwell to/for perpetuity and not to dwell till generation and generation and not to pitch there Arab and to pasture not to stretch there
21 Lakini wanyama pori wa jangwani watalala pale. Nyumba zao zitajaa bundi; na mbuni watakaa huko na mbuzi pori wataruka pale.
and to stretch there wild beast and to fill house: home their howling animal and to dwell there daughter ostrich and satyr to skip about there
22 Fisi watalia kwenye ngome yao, na mbeha katika maeneo yao mazuri. Mda wao umekaribia, na siku zao hazitachelewa.
and to dwell wild beast in/on/with widow his and jackal in/on/with temple: palace delight and near to/for to come (in): come time her and day her not to draw
