Isaya 46
1 Beli huaguka chini, Nebo husujudu; miungu yao imebebwa na wanyama na mzigo wa mnyama. Sanamu hizi mlizobeba ni mzigo mzito kwa wanyama kuchoka.
He has bowed down Bel [is] stooping low Nebo they belong idols their to the animal[s] and to the cattle burdens your [are] carried a load for a weary [animal].
2 Kwa pamoja wanashuka chini; hawawezi kuziokoa sanamu zao, na wao wenyewe wameenda uhamishoni.
They have stooped low they have bowed down together not they have been able to rescue a burden and self their in captivity it has gone.
3 Nisikilizeni mimi, nyumba ya Yakobo, wote mliobaki kwenye nyumba ya Israeli mliochukuliwa na mimi kutoka kabla amjazaliwa, mlichukuliwa mkiwa tumboni.
Listen to me O house of Jacob and all [the] remnant of [the] house of Israel who have been carried from [the] belly who have been borne from [the] womb.
4 Hata kwa njie wazee Mimi ndiye, mpaka mmeshapata mvi nitawachukua. Nimewaumba ninyi na nitawabeba ninyi; Nitwachukua nyie na nitawakomboa nyie.
And until old age I [am] he and until gray hair I I will carry I I made and I I will bear and I I will carry and I may rescue.
5 Je utanifananisha mimi na nani? na mimi nimefanana na nani, ili utulinganishe?
To whom? will you liken me and you may make [me] equal? and will you compare? me and we may be alike.
6 Watu humwaga dhahabu kutoka kwenye mabegi yao na uzito wa fedha kwenye uzani. Humuajiri mfua dhahabu, na hutengeneza kuwa dhahabu; na huinama chini na kuzisuju.
Those [who] pour out gold from a bag and silver on scale[s] they weigh out they hire a metalsmith and he makes it a god they prostrate themselves also they bow down.
7 Wanazinyanyua juu ya mabega yao na kuzibeba; wanaziweka katika sehemu yake, na itasimama katika eneo lake na alitasogea kutoka pale, hulilia, lakini haiwezi kujibu wala kumuokoa yeyote kwenye matatizo.
They lift up it on a shoulder they carry it and they set down it in place its so it may stand from place its not it departs also he cries out to it and not it answers from trouble his not it delivers him.
8 Tafakari kuhusu hivi vitu; katu usivipuuzie, enyi waasi!
Remember this and pluck up courage bring [it] back O rebels on heart.
9 Tafakari kuhusu vitu vya awali, nyakati zile zilizopita, Maana mimi ni Mungu, na hakuna mwingine, Mimi ni Mungu na hakuna kama mimi.
Remember former [things] from long ago for I [am] God and there not [is] yet God and there not [is] like me.
10 Mimi ninatangaza mwisho kutoka mwanzo, na kabla ya kitu ambacho hakijatokea; Ninasema, ''Mpango wangu utatokea na nitafanya kama ninavyotamani.''
[one who] declares From [the] beginning [the] end and from antiquity [things] which not they have been done [one who] says purpose my it will be fulfilled and all desire my I will accomplish.
11 Nitamuita ndege wa mawindo kutoka mashariki, Mtu ambaye ni chaguo langu kutoka nchi ya mbali; Ndio nimesema; na pia nitayatimiza haya, nimekusudia, na pia nitafanya hivyo.
[one who] calls From [the] east a bird of prey from a land of distance a man of (purpose my *Q(K)*) also I have spoken also I will bring it I have planned also I will accomplish it.
12 Nisikilize mimi, enyi watu makaidi, ambao mko mbali na kutenda mema.
Listen to me O [people] mighty of heart O [people] distant from righteousness.
13 Ninaileta haki yangu karibu; na wala sio mbali, na wokovu wangu hausubiri; na nitatoa wokovu wangu kwa Sayuni na uzuri wangu kwa Israeli.
I have brought near righteousness my not it is far away and salvation my not it will delay and I will give in Zion salvation to Israel splendor my.
