Isaya 47

1 Njoo chini na ukae kwenye mavumbi, binti bikira wa Babeli; kaa juu ya aridhi pasipo enzi, ewe binti wa Wakaldayo. Hautaitwa tena mpenda anasa na maisha ya anasa.

Go down - and sit on [the] dust O virgin of [the] daughter of Babylon sit to the ground there not [is] a throne O daughter of [the] Chaldeans for not you will repeat people will call you tender and delicate.

2 Chukua jiwe la kusagia na usage unga; ondoa pazia lako, ondoa mavazi yako, ondoa viatu miguuni, na vuka mkondo wa maji.

Take a hand-mill and grind flour uncover veil your strip off a skirt uncover a leg pass through rivers.

3 Uchi wako utafunuliwa, ndio, na aibu yako itaonekana; Nitachukua kizazi na sitamuacha mtu,

Let it be uncovered nakedness your also let it be visible reproach your vengeance I will take and not I will meet anyone.

4 Mkombozi, Yahwe wa majeshi ndilo jina lake, Mtakatifu wa Israeli.

Redeemer our [is] Yahweh of hosts name his [the] holy [one] of Israel.

5 Kaa kimya na nenda katika giza, ewe binti wa Wakaldoyo; maana hautaitwa tena malikia wa falme.

Sit silently and go in darkness O daughter of [the] Chaldeans for not you will repeat people will call you queen of kingdoms.

6 Nilikuwa na hasira na watu wangu; Nimeunajisi urithi wangu na kuwakabidhi nyie katika mkono wenu, lakini hamkuomyesha huruma; umeweka nira kubwa kwa wazee.

I was angry towards people my I profaned inheritance my and I gave them in hand your not you appointed to them compassion on [the] old you made heavy yoke your exceedingly.

7 Umesema, ''Nitaongoza daima kama malikia huru.'' Haukuvichukua vitu hivi katika moyo, wala hakutafakari jinsi hivi vitu vitakavyojeuka.

And you said for ever I will be a queen until not you put these [things] on heart your not you remembered outcome its.

8 Hivyo sasa sikiliza hili, Ewe upendae anasa na kukaa salama; ewe usemae katika moyo wako, 'Ninaishi, na hakuna mwingine kama mimi; Sitakaa kama mjane wala sitazoea kufiwa na watoto.

And therefore listen to this O voluptuous [woman] who dwells to security who says in heart her I and only I [am] yet not I will live a widow and not I will know childlessness.

9 ''Lakini vitu hivi vitakuja kwako siku moja katika kipindi cha siku moja; kwa nguvu za kutosha yatakuja kwako, japo uchawi wako na dua zako na hirizi.

So they may come to you both of these [things] a moment in a day one childlessness and widowhood according to completeness their they will come on you in [the] abundance of sorceries your in [the] power of spells your very many.

10 Umeweka imani katika mapungufu yako; na kusema, ''Hakuna anayeniona mimi''; hekima na maarifa yako yanakupoteza, lakini unasema katika moyo wako, ''Nipo na hakuna hata mmoja kama mimi.''

And you trusted in evil your you said there not [is one who] sees me wisdom your and knowledge your it it has led away you and you said in heart your I and only I [am] yet.

11 Maafa yatakuzidi wewe; hautaweza kuyaondoa kwa dua zako mwenyewe. Uharibifu utakuwa juu yako; hautaweza kuukata. Maafa yatakuangamiza ghafla, kabla haujajua kitu.

And it will come on you calamity not you will know to charm away it and it may fall on you disaster not you will be able to cover it and it may come on you suddenly ruin [which] not you will know.

12 Endeleni kutoa uganga wako na wachawi wengi ambao mlioaminishwa kusoma toka utotoni mwao; labda utafanikiwa, labda utayashinda maafa.

Stand please in spells your and in [the] abundance of sorceries your in which you have labored since youth your perhaps you will be able to profit perhaps you will inspire awe.

13 Umejaribu sana kwa kushauriwa sana; waache hao watu wasimame na kukuokoa wewe- wale wanaoangalia mbingu na wanoangalia nyota, wale wanotangaza mwenzi mpya- waache wawaokoe nyie kutoka kwenye yaliyowapata.

You have become weary with [the] abundance of counsels your let them stand please and let them deliver you ([those who] divide *Q(K)*) [the] heavens those [who] look on the stars [those who] make known to the new moons from [the things] which they will come on you.

14 Tazama, watakuwa kama mabua. Moto utayachoma juu. Hayataweza kujisaidia yenyewe kutoka kwenye mkono wa moto. Hakuna makaa kuwapa joto wao na hakuna moto uliowekwa pembeni kwa ajili yao!

There! they have become like chaff a fire it has burned them not they will deliver self their from [the] hand of [the] flame there not [will be] coal to warm them a fire to sit before it.

15 Hivi ndio wamekuwa kwako, wale unaofanya nao kazi, na unauza na kununua na wao toka ulipo kuwa mdogo, na wale wanaendelea kufanya mambo yao ya kijinga; na unapolia kuhitaji msaada, hakuna hata mmjoa ambaye atakukomboa wewe.''

Thus they have become for you [those] whom you have labored traders your since youth your everyone to side his they have wandered there not [is] a deliverer for you.
