Isaya 16
1 Mpeleke mwana kondoo kuongoza nchi kutoka Sela huko jangwani, kwenye mlima wa binti Sayuni.
Send a lamb [the] ruler of [the] land from Sela [the] wilderness towards to [the] mountain of [the] daughter of Zion.
2 Kama ndege wazururao, viota vimetapakaa, hivyo basi wanawake wa Moabu watavuka kwenye mto Arnoni.
And it will be like a bird fluttering a nest sent away they will be [the] daughters of Moab [the] fords of Arnon.
3 Toa maelekezo, tekeleza haki; toa kivuli kama usiku wakati wa mchana; wahifadhi watuhumiwa; msiwahini watuhumiwa.
(Bring *Q(K)*) counsel make a decision make like night shade your in [the] middle of [the] noon hide outcasts a fugitive may not you expose.
4 Waache waishi miongoni mwenu, wakimbizi kutoka Moabu; muwe mahali pakujifichia wao wasiangamizwe.'' maana mateso yatakwisha, na uharibifu utapungua utakuwa na kikomo, wale wanotetemeka watapotea katika nchi.
Let them sojourn among you outcasts my Moab be a shelter of them from before [the] destroyer if he will come to an end the oppressor it will cease devastation they will be finished [the] trampler from the land.
5 Kiti cha enzi kitaanzishwa katika agano la uaminifu; na mmoja katika hema la Daudi atakaa pale kwa uaminifu. Atahukumu kwa kufuata haki na atatenda haki.
And it will be established in covenant loyalty a throne and he will sit on it in faithfulness in [the] tent of David [one who] judges and [one who] seeks justice and [one] prompt of righteousness.
6 Tumesikia kiburi cha Moabu, kiburi chake, majivuno yake, na hasira yake. Lakini majivuno yake ni maneno tu.
We have heard [the] pride of Moab proud very haughtiness its and pride its and arrogance its [are] not right empty boasts its.
7 Hivyo basi Moabu atalia juu ya Moabu-wote watalia! wataomboleza, nyie mlioharibiwa kabisa, mikate ya Kira Haresethi.
Therefore it will wail Moab for Moab all of it it will wail for [the] raisin-cakes of Kir Hareseth you will groan only stricken people.
8 Shamba la Heshboni limekauka kabisa pamoja na mizabibu ya Sibma. Kiongozi wa mataifa amekanyaga mizabibu iliyochaguliwa na kuelekea Jazeri na kuelekea jangwani. Mizizi yake nje ya nchi; imenda juu ya bahari.
For [the] fields of Heshbon it has withered [the] vine[s] of Sibmah rulers of nations they have struck down choice grapes its to Jazer they reached they wandered [the] wilderness shoots its they were spread out they passed over [the] sea.
9 Kweli nitalia pamoja Jazeri kwasababu ya shamba la mizabibu la Sibma. Nitakuloanisha kwa machozi yangu, Heshboni, na Eleale. Maana katika mashamba yenu kipindi cha majira ya joto matunda na mazao nitaishia kwa kupiga kelele za furaha.
There-fore I weep with [the] weeping of Jazer [the] vine[s] of Sibmah I water abundantly you tear[s] my O Heshbon and Elealeh for on summer fruit your and on harvest your shouting it has fallen.
10 Furaha na shangwe zimezimwa na matunda ya miti ya shambani; na hakuna nyimbo wala kelele katika mashamba ya mizabibu, maana nimeweka mwisho wa kupiga kelele kwa yeyote anayetembea.
And it will be removed gladness and rejoicing from the orchard and in the vineyards not anything will be sung not anything will be shouted wine in the wine-presses not he will tread the treader shouting I have made to cease.
11 Hivyo, moyo wangu unalia kama kinubi, na ndani yangu maana kwa ajili ya Kiri Hareseth.
There-fore inward parts my for Moab like harp they make a sound and inner being my for Kir Heres.
12 Pindi ambapo Moabu wamejivika mahali pa juu, na kuingia katika hekalu kuomba, maombi yake hayatatimiza chochote.
And it will be that it has presented itself if it has wearied itself Moab on the high place and it will come to sanctuary its to pray and not it will prevail.
13 Haya ndio maneno aliyoyazungumza Yahwe kuhusu Moabu iliyopita.
This [is] the word which he has spoken Yahweh concerning Moab from then.
14 Tena Yahwe amesema, ''Ndani ya miaka mitatu utukufuwa Moabu utatoweka; japo watu wake wengi, watakao bakia ni wachache, na wasionafaida.
And now he says Yahweh saying in three years like [the] years of a hired laborer and it will be lightly esteemed [the] honor of Moab for all the multitude great and a remnant little smallness not [will be] mighty.
