Isaya 24
1 Angalia Yahwe anakaribia kuifanya dunia kuwa utupu, kuhiharibu, kuharibu uso wake, na kuwatawanya wenyeji wake.
Here! Yahweh [is] about to lay waste the earth and [is] about to devastate it and he will twist surface its and he will scatter inhabitants its.
2 Itakuwa kama ilivyo kwa watu itakuwa hivyo hivyo kwa kuhani; na kwa watumishi na kwa bwana wake, na kwa mfanyakazi wa ndani itakuwa hivyo na kwa tajiri yake, ndivyo itakavyokuwa kwa anayeuza na anayenunua; ndivyo itakavyokwa kwa wenye kupata faida na wenye madeni, na wale wennye kupokea faida itakuwa hivyo hivyo kwa wale wenye kutoa faida.
And it will be as the people as the priest as the servant as master his as the maidservant as mistress her as the buyer as the seller as the lender as the borrower as the creditor as [the one] who a creditor [is] in him.
3 Dunia itaharibiwa kabisa na kufanjwa ukiwa; maana Yahwe amenena maneno hayo. Dunia imekauka kabisa na kunyauka,
Certainly - it will be laid waste the earth and certainly - it will be plundered for Yahweh he has spoken the word this.
4 Dunia inazimia n kudhohofika. Watu maarufu wa duniani watapotezwa.
It has dried up it has withered the earth it has languished it has withered [the] world they have languished [the] noble[s] of [the] people of the earth.
5 Dunia inavutwa na watu wakao ndani yake kwa sababu wamepindisha sheria, wameibadili amri na wamevunja agano la milele.
And the earth it has been polluted under inhabitants its for they have transgressed laws they have overstepped [the] decree they have broken [the] covenant of perpetuity.
6 Hivyo basi laana inaitafuna nchi, na wenyeji wake wamekutwa na makosa. Wakaao duniani wanateketea, na watu wachache wameachwa.
There-fore a curse it has consumed [the] earth and they have been held guilty [the] inhabitants in it there-fore they have diminished [the] inhabitants of [the] earth and it will be left humankind of smallness.
7 Divai mpya imekauka, mizabibu imenyauka, na mioyo yote iliyochangamka inaugua.
It has dried up new wine it has languished [the] vine they have groaned all [the people] joyful of heart.
8 Sauti ya furha ya kigoma inasimama, na kelele za wenye furaha zimekwisha, na furaha ya kinubi imesitishwa.
It has ceased [the] gaiety of tambourines it has stopped [the] uproar of jubilant [people] it has ceased [the] gaiety of [the] harp.
9 Hawatakunjwa mvinyo tena na kuimba, bia chungu kwa wale wanokunywa.
With song not people will drink wine it will be bitter strong drink to [those who] drink it.
10 Mji uliochafuka umeangushwa chini; kila nyumba imefungwa na hakuna kitu.
It has been broken [the] town of formlessness it has been shut up every house from entering.
11 Kuna kilio mtaani kwa sababu ya mvinyo; furaha yote imetiwa giza, furaha ya nchi imetoweka.
An outcry on wine [will be] in the streets it has become evening all gladness it has departed [the] gaiety of the earth.
12 Ndani ya mji kumebaki ukiwa, na lango limebolewa kwa uharibifu.
It has remained in the city desolation and ruin it will be crushed [the] gate.
13 Hivi ndivyo itakavyofanyika kwa dunia yote mwiongoni mwa mataifa, pale mti wa mzabibu utakapopigwa, na waokotapo zabibu baada mavuno yake kuwa tayari.
For thus it will be in [the] midst of the earth in among the peoples like [the] beating of an olive tree like gleanings if it has come to an end [the] grape harvest.
14 Watanyanyua saut zao na kupiga keleleYahwe mwenye enzi, na utapaza sauti kutoka kwenye bahari.
They they will lift up voice their they will shout for joy in [the] majesty of Yahweh they will cry aloud from [the] west.
15 Hivyo basi mashariki mtukuze Yahwe, na katika kisiwa cha bahari tukuzeni jina la Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli.
There-fore in the east glorify Yahweh in [the] islands of the sea [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
16 Kutoka umbali wa sehemu ya dunia tumesika nyimbo, ''Utukufu kwa watu wenye haki! Lakini nikasema, ''Nimepita mbali, Ole juu wangu! Wasaliti walshulika na wenye hila; ndio, wasaliti walishuhulika na wenye hila.''
From [the] extremity of the earth songs we have heard splendor [belongs] to the righteous [one] and I said leanness [belongs] to me leanness [belongs] to me woe! to me [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously and treachery [those who] act treacherously they act treacherously.
17 Hofu, shimo, na mtego yako juu yako, wenyeji wa dunia.
Dread and pit and snare [are] on you O inhabitant of the earth.
18 Amekimbia maana sauti ya hofu itaanguka kwenye shimo, na anayekuja juu katikati ya shimo atanaswa na mtego. Madirisha ya mbinguni yatafunguliwa, na misingi ya dunia itatikisika.
And it will be the [one who] flees from [the] sound of the dread he will fall into the pit and the [one who] goes up from [the] midst of the pit he will be caught in snare for windows from a high place they have been opened and they have shaken [the] foundations of [the] earth.
19 Dunia itangamizwa kabisa, dunia itapasukia mbali; dunia itatatikisika vikali.
Utterly it has been broken the earth utterly it has been split through [the] earth certainly it has been shaken [the] earth.
20 Dunia itajikongoja kama mlevi na itachezacheza kurudi nyuma na mbele kama kibanda. Dhambi zao zitakuwa nzito juu yao na zitaanguka na hazitasimama tena.
Wildly it will stagger [the] earth like drunkard and it will sway like hut and it will be heavy on it transgression its and it will fall and not it will repeat to rise.
21 Itakuwa siku hiyo ambayo Yahwe ataliadhibu jeshi la aliye juu mahali pa juu, na falme za dunia katika dunia.
And it will be in the day that he will visit [judgment] Yahweh on [the] host of the height in the height[s] and on [the] kings of the earth on the earth.
22 Watakusanyika pamoja, wafungwa katika shimo, na watafungw gerezani; na baada ya siku nying watadhibiwa.
And they will be gathered a gathering prisoner[s] to a pit and they will be shut up at a prison and from an abundance of days they will be visited.
23 Halafu Mwenzi utatiwa aibu na jua pia litatwa aibu, maana Yahwe wa majeshi atatawala katika mlima Sayuni na Yerusalemu, kabla ya wazee wake katika utukufu.
And it will be abashed the moon and it will be ashamed the sun for he will reign Yahweh of hosts on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem and before elders his glory.
