Isaya 17
1 Tamko kuhusu Damaskasi.
oracle Damascus behold Damascus to turn aside: depart from city and to be heap ruin
2 Miji ya Aroera itaharibiwa. Patakuwa na nafasi kwa ajili ya kutunzia mifugo, na hakuna hatakayeizuia.
to leave: forsake city Aroer to/for flock to be and to stretch and nothing to tremble
3 Miji ilioachwa itatoweka kutoka Efraimu, ufalme katuka Damskasi, na walobaki Aramu-watakuwa kama utukufu wa watu wa Israeli-Hili ni tamko la Yahwe wa majeshi.
and to cease fortification from Ephraim and kingdom from Damascus and remnant Syria like/as glory son: descendant/people Israel to be utterance LORD Hosts
4 Itakuwa siku hiyo utukufu wa Yakobo utapungua, utakuwa mwembamba na kunona kwa mwili wake utapungua.
and to be in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to languish glory Jacob and fatness flesh his to starve
5 Itakuwa kama mvuna ikusanyavyo mavuno, na mkono wake huvuna maganda ya mazao. Itakuwa kama mtu atoae maganda ya mavuno katika bonde la Refaimu.
and to be like/as to gather harvest standing grain and arm his ear to reap and to be like/as to gather ear in/on/with Valley (of Rephaim) (Valley of) Rephaim
6 Masalia yataachwa, hata hivyo, mti wa mzabibu utatingishwa: Mizeituni miwili au mitatu iliyo juu sana matawi yake yako juu, manne au matano katka tawi la juu katika mti unaozaa-hili ni tamko la Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli.
and to remain in/on/with him gleaning like/as shaking olive two three berry in/on/with head: top top four five in/on/with cleft her be fruitful utterance LORD God Israel
7 Siku hiyo watu watawangalia Muumba wake, na macho yatamuangalia Mtakatifu wa Israeli.
in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to gaze [the] man upon to make him and eye his to(wards) holy Israel to see: see
8 Hawatangalia madhabahu, kazi za mikono yao, wala hataangalia kile kinachofanywa na vidole vyao, nguzo za Ashera na picha ya jua.
and not to gaze to(wards) [the] altar deed: work hand his and which to make finger his not to see: see and [the] Asherah and [the] pillar
9 Siku hiyo miji yenye nguvu itakuwa kama msitu uliotelekezwa na juu ya kilele cha mlima, na palipo achwa kwa sababu ya wana wa Israeli patakuwa ukiwa.
in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to be city security his like/as to leave: forsake [the] wood and [the] top which to leave: forsake from face: because son: descendant/people Israel and to be devastation
10 Maana mmemsahau Mungu wa wakovu wenu, na umeudharau mwamba wa nguvu zako. Hivyo basi umeotesha miti mizuri, na mizabibu mizuri iliyotoka ugenini,
for to forget God salvation your and rock security your not to remember upon so to plant plantation pleasantness and branch be a stranger to sow him
11 Siku hiyo uliootesha na fensi na kulima. Mbegu zako zitaota mapema na kukua, lakini mavuno yatashindikana siku hiyo itakuwa huzuni na kukata tamaa.
in/on/with day plantation your to grow and in/on/with morning seed your to sprout heap harvest in/on/with day be weak: grieved and pain be incurable
12 Ole! Watu wenye ghasia, Kishindo chake ni kama mngurumo wa bahari, na kasi ya mataifa, wananguruma kama ngurumo ya maji mengi!
woe! crowd people many like/as to roar sea to roar [emph?] and roar people like/as roar water mighty to crash [emph?]
13 Mataifa yataunguruma kama maji mengi yaendao kasi, lakini Mungu atawakemea.
people like/as roar water many to crash [emph?] and to rebuke in/on/with him and to flee from distance and to pursue like/as chaff mountain: mount to/for face: before spirit: breath and like/as wheel to/for face: before whirlwind
14 Watakimbia mbali sana na watafukuzwa kama pumba kwenye mlima mbele ya upepo, kama mavumbi yazungukayo kwenye dhoruba. Wakati wa usiku, ona, hofu! Na kabla ya alfajiri watakwenda; hili ndilo eneo la wale waliotupora, na wale wanaotunyang'anya mali zetu.
to/for time evening and behold terror in/on/with before morning nothing he this portion to plunder us and allotted to/for to plunder us
