4 Kila bonde litanyanyuliwa juu, kila mlima na kilima kitasawazishwa; na aridhi ya mwinuko itasawazishwa, mahali palipokwaruzwa patakuwa na usawa;
all valley to lift: raise and all mountain: mount and hill to abase and to be [the] steep to/for plain and [the] roughness to/for valley

11 Atalilisha kundi lake kama mchungaji, Atawakusanya kondoo katika jeshi lake, na kulichukua karibu na moyo wake, kwa upole atawongoza wake kuwauuguza watoto wao.
like/as to pasture flock his to pasture in/on/with arm his to gather lamb and in/on/with bosom: embrace his to lift: bear to nurse to guide
12 Ni nani aliyepima maji ya mashimo kwa mkono wake, anayepima anga kwa urefu wa mkono wake, na kuweka vumbi za nchi katika kikapu, kupima milima kwa mizani, au vilima kwa usawa?

19 Sanamu! ambayo fundi ameitupa: Mfua dhahabu ameka pamoja na mikufu bandi ya fedha.
[the] idol to pour artificer and to refine in/on/with gold to beat him and chain silver: money to refine

24 Tazama wamekuwa wagumu kuotesha; tazama wamekuwa wagumu kupanda; imekuwa ni vigumu kuchukua mzizi katika nchi, kabla ajapuliza juu yao, na wakanyauka, na upepo unawaondosha mbali kama majani.
also not to plant also not to sow also not to uproot in/on/with land: country/planet stock their and also to blow in/on/with them and to wither and tempest like/as stubble to lift: bear them
25 Ni nani tena utakayemfananisha na mimi, ni nani ninayefanan nae?'' amesema mtakatifu.
and to(wards) who? to resemble me and be like to say holy
26 Tazama juu kwenye anga! Nani aliyeziumba nyota hizi zote? Analileta nje jeshi na anawaita kwa majina yote. Kwa ukuu wa nguvu zake na kwa uimara wa nguvu zake, hakuna hata mmoja atakayekosa.
to lift: look height eye your and to see: see who? to create these [the] to come out: send in/on/with number army their to/for all their in/on/with name to call: call to from abundance strength and strong strength man not to lack

not to know if: surely no not to hear: hear God forever: enduring LORD to create end [the] land: country/planet not to faint and not be weary/toil nothing search to/for understanding his
29 Anawapa nguvu waliochoka; na atawapa nguvu mpya waliowadhaifu.
to give: give to/for weary strength and to/for nothing strength strength to multiply
30 Hata vijana wadogo watapatwa na uchovu na kuchoka, vijana wadogo watapata mashaka na kuanguka:
and to faint youth and be weary/toil and youth to stumble to stumble
31 Lakini wale watakao mngojea Yahwe watapewa nguvu mpya; na watapaa kwa mbawa kama malaika; watakimbia wala hawatachoka; watatembea wala hawatazimia.
and to await LORD to pass strength to ascend: rise wing like/as eagle to run: run and not be weary/toil to go: walk and not to faint
