Isaya 28
1 Ole kwa taji la kiburi ambalo huvaliwa na kila mlevi wa Efraimu, na ua linalofifia la utukufu wa uzuri wake, ua lililowekwa kichwani mwa bonde linalostawi na hao wanoshindwa na nvinyo!
Woe to! [the] crown of pride of [the] drunkards of Ephraim and a flower withering [the] beauty of splendor its which [is] on [the] head of a valley of fatness [those] struck down of wine.
2 Tazama Bwana anamtuma aliye hodari na nguvu; kama dhoruba ya mvua ya mawe na upepo mkali unaoharibu, na atatupa kila taji la ua chini kwenye aridhi.
There! a mighty [one] and a strong [one] [belongs] to [the] Lord like a storm of hail a tempest of destruction like a storm of water mighty overflowing he will thrust [it] down to the ground with a hand.
3 Taji ya kiburi ya walevi wa Efraimu lililoko chini ya paa.
With feet they will be trampled [the] crown of pride of [the] drunkards of Ephraim.
4 Ua lililofifia la utukufu wa uzuri wake, juu ya kichwa cha bonde la utajiri, itakuwa kama tunda lililoiva mtini kabla ya maji yake, kwamba, wakati mtu anapoliona tunda, wakati likiwa bado mikononi mwake, analigugumia chini.
And it will be a flower withering [the] beauty of splendor its which [is] on [the] head of a valley of fatness like an early fig before summer which he will see the [one who] sees it while still it [is] in hand his he will swallow it.
5 Katika siku hiyo Yahwe wa majeshi atakuwa taji nzuri na taji ya uzuri kwa watu wake waliobakia,
In the day that he will become Yahweh of hosts a crown of beauty and a diadem of splendor for [the] remnant of people his.
6 roho ya haki kwa yeye aliyekaa katika hukumu, nguvu kwa wale waliobadilisha adui zao katika malango yao.
And a spirit of justice for the [one who] sits on judgment and strength [those who] turn back battle [the] gate towards.
7 Lakini wale wanaoyumbayumba kwa ajili ya mvinyo, na wanojikongoja kwa ajili ya pombe kali. Kuhani na nabii watayumbayuma kwa ajili ya pombe kali, na watamezwa na mvinjo. Watajikongoja kwa ajili ya pombe kali, Kujikongoja katika maono na kuyumbayuma katika maamuzi.
And also these with wine they reeled and with strong drink they staggered priest and prophet they reeled with strong drink they were confused from wine they staggered from strong drink they reeled in the vision they tottered decision.
8 Hakika, meza zote zimejaa matapishi. Hivyo basi hakuna sehemu iliyosafi.
For all [the] tables they are full vomit filth not room.
9 Ni nani atakaye tufundisha maarifa, na nani atayetuelezea ujumbe? Kwa walioachishwa maziwa au kwa wanonyonya?
Whom? will he teach knowledge and whom? will he make understand [the] message [those] weaned from milk [ones] removed from breasts.
10 Maana ni amri juu ya amri, utawala juu ya utawala; na hapa kidogo na pale kidogo.
For command to [the] command command to [the] command line to [the] line line to [the] line a little there a little there.
11 Kweli, kwa mdomo wa dharau na lugha za kigeni atazungumza na watu wake.
For by stammerings of lip and by a tongue another he will speak to the people this.
12 Wakati uliopita aliwambia, '''Hawa ni wengine, wape punziko walio choka; maana huku ni kujifurahisha,'' lakini hawakusikiliza.
Whom - he said to them this [is] the resting place give rest to the weary and this [is] the place of rest and not they were willing to listen.
13 Hivyo basi neno la Yahwe litakuwa kwao amri juu ya amri, amri juu ya amri, utawala juu ya utawala; na kidogo hapa na kidogo pale, ili waende na kuanguka nyuma, na kuvunjwa, kutegwa, na kukamatwa.
And it will be to them [the] word of Yahweh command to [the] command command to [the] command line to [the] line line to [the] line a little there a little there so that they may go and they will stumble backwards and they will be broken and they will be ensnared and they will be captured.
14 Hivyo basi sikiliza neno la Yahwe, yeyote afaanyae maskhara, wewe unaowaongoza watu hawa ambao wako Yerusalemu.
Therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh O people of mockery O rulers of the people this who [are] in Jerusalem.
15 Hii itatokea kwa sababu umesema, '' Tumefannya magano na kifo; maana kuzimu wameyafikia makubaliano. Hivyo basi hukumu itakapopitishwa kwa wingi, haitatufika sisi, maana tumefanya maneno ya uongo kuwa kimbilio letu, na uongo kuwa makazi yetu. (Sheol h7585)
For you have said we have made a covenant with death and with Sheol we have made an agreement (a scourge *Q(K)*) overflowing if (it will pass by *Q(K)*) not it will come to us for we have made falsehood refuge our and in deception we have hidden ourselves. (Sheol h7585)
16 Hivyo basi Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, ''Ona: Nitaiwekea Sayuni msingi wa mawe, jiwe la kujaribu, jiwe la pembeni lenye samani, msingi wa uhakika. Na yeyote atayeuamini ataaibika kamwe.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I he has laid in Zion a stone a stone of testing a corner of preciousness of a foundation founded the [one who] trusts not he will make haste.
17 Nitafanya haki kuwa fimbo ya usawa, na kuwa haki pima maji. Atasafishia mbali kimbilio la waongo, na mafuriko yatajaa balaa katika mahali pa siri.
And I will make justice a measuring-line and righteousness a leveling tool and it will sweep away hail [the] refuge of falsehood and [the] shelter waters they will overflow.
18 Agano lako na kifo litafutwa, na makubaliano yako na kuzimu hayatasimama. Pindi mafuriko makali yatapta, yatawazomba njie. (Sheol h7585)
And it will be annulled covenant your with death and agreement your with Sheol not it will stand a scourge overflowing if it will pass by and you will become for it a trampling place. (Sheol h7585)
19 Maana pindi yatakopita, yatawazomba nyie yatapita asubuhi na asubuhi, na yatapita tena mchana na usiku utafika. Pale ujumbe utakapofika utasababisha hofu.
As often as passes by it it will take you for in the morning in the morning it will pass by in the day and in the night and it will be only terror to understand [the] message.
20 Maana kitanda ni kifupi kwa mtu kunyoosha mkono wake nje, na blangeti ni jembamba kwa yeye kujizungushia ndani''
For it is [too] short the bed for stretching oneself and the blanket it is narrow when wraps oneself up.
21 Yahwe atanyanyuka kama mlima Perazimu; Atawahimiza yeye mwenye kufanya kazi yake katika bonde la Gibeoni, kazi ya ajabu, na kufanya matendo ya ajabu.
For like [the] mountain of Perazim he will arise Yahweh like a valley in Gibeon he will rage to do deed his [is] strange deed his and to work work his [is] alien work his.
22 Hivyo sasa msifanye maskhara, dhamana yako itakazwa, Nimesikia kutoka kwa Bwana, Yahwe wa majeshi, amri ya kuiharibu nchi.
And therefore may not you show yourself a mocker lest they should become strong fetters your for complete destruction and [what] has been decided I have heard from with [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts on all the land.
23 Kuwa tayari na sikiliza saut yangu; kuwa makini na sikiliza maneno yangu.
Give ear and hear voice my pay attention and hear utterance my.
24 Je mkulima anayelima siku zote kwa ajili ya kupanda, analima tu kwenye aridhi? Je anaendelea kulima shamba lake pasipo kupanda?
¿ All the day does he plow the plowman to sow does he loosen? and he may harrow? land his.
25 Pindi anapolindaa shamba lake, Je hatawanji jira ya mbegu, anapanda jira, anaweka ngano katika mstari, shairi katika mahali pake, na yameandikw sehemu mbili?
¿ Not if he has leveled surface its and does he scatter black cumin and cumin does he sprinkle? and does he put? wheat a row and barley an appointed [place] and spelt territory its.
26 Mungu wake amemuelekeza; anamfuundisha yeye kwa busara.
And he instructs him to judgment God his he teaches him.
27 Zaidi ya hayo, jira zile hazipuruliwi kwa chombo kikali; wala gurudumu la kukatia linalozunguka juu ya jira; lakini jira linapigwa kwa fimbo, na jira kwa fimbo.
That not with threshing sledge it is threshed black cumin and a wheel of a cart over cumin it is turned for with staff it is beaten out black cumin and cumin with rod.
28 Nafaka ni mwanzo mkate lakini ni laini sana, japo gurudumu la gari lake na farasi wamezitawanya, na farasi wake hawajaiponda ponda.
Bread it is crushed for not to perpetuity certainly anyone threshes it and he sets in motion [the] wheel of cart his and horses his not he crushes it.
29 Haya yanatoka kwa Yahwe wa majeshi, yeye aliye mshauri wa ajabu na na mwenye ubara wa hekima.
Also this from with Yahweh of hosts it has gone out he has made wonderful counsel he has made great sound wisdom.
