< Isaya 52 >
1 Amka, amka, vaa nguvu zako, Sayuni; vaa vazi lako zuri, mji mtakatifu; maana hakuna tena kutotahiriwa wala wasio safi kuingia kwako.
Awake awake put on strength your O Zion put on - [the] garments of beauty your O Jerusalem [the] city of holiness for not he will repeat he will come in you again an uncircumcised [man] and an unclean [person].
2 Jikung'ute mwenyewe kutoka mavumbini; nyanyuka na ukae, ewe Yerusalemu; ondoa shanga katika shingo yako, wafungwa, binti ya Sayuni.
Shake yourself free from [the] dust arise sit O Jerusalem (loosen for yourself *Q(K)*) [the] fetters of neck your O captive [one] [the] daughter of Zion.
3 Maana Yahwe asema hivi, umeuzwa bure, na utakombolewa pasipo pesa.''
For thus he says Yahweh for nothing you were sold and not with money you will be redeemed.
4 Maana Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, ''Hapo mwanzo watu wangu walishuka chini Misri kuishi kwa muda mfupi; Waasiria waliwanyanyasa wao hivi karibuni.
For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh Egypt it went down people my at the former [time] to sojourn there and Assyria for nothing it oppressed it.
5 Sasa ni kitu gani nilicho nacho hapa- Hili ni tamko Yahwe- aonae kwamba watu wake wanachukuliwa bure tu? Wale wanowaongoza wao wanafanya mzaha-Hili ni tamko la Yahwe- jina langu linakashifiwa mchan kutwa.
And therefore (what? *Q(K)*) ([belongs] to me *Q(k)*) here [the] utterance of Yahweh that it was taken people my for nothing (rulers its *Q(K)*) they wail [the] utterance of Yahweh and continually all the day name my [is] reviled.
6 Hivyo basi watu wangu watalijua jina langu; watajua kwamba siku hiyo kwamba mimi ndiye ninayesema ''Ndiyo, Ni Mimi!''
Therefore it will know people my name my therefore in the day that that I [am] he who is speaking here [am] I.
7 Ni kwa uzuri gani juu miliima ni miguu ya mjumbe aliyeleta habari njema, atangazae amani, aliyebeba uzuri wa ukuu, aliyetangaza wokovu, anayesema kwa Sayuni, ''Mungu wako anatawala!''
How! they are beautiful on the mountains [the] feet of [one who] bears news [one who] proclaims peace [one who] bears news good [one who] proclaims salvation [one who] says to Zion he reigns God your.
8 Sikiliza enyi walinzi nyanyueni sauti zenu, kwa pamoja pigeni kelele kwa furaha, maana mtamuona, kwa kila jicho lenu, kurejea kwa Yahwe Sayuni.
[the] voice of Watchmen your they will lift up a voice together they will shout for joy for eye in eye they will see when returns Yahweh Zion.
9 Pazeni sauti kwa kuimba kwa furaha, enyi mateka wa Yerusalemu; maana Yahwe amefariji watu wake; ameikomboa Yerusalemu.
Break forth shout for joy together O waste places of Jerusalem for he has comforted Yahweh people his he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Yahwe amewaonyesha kwamba mkono wake mtakatifu katika macho ya mataifa yote; nchi yote itauona wokovu wa Mungu wetu.
He has bared Yahweh [the] arm of holiness his to [the] eyes of all the nations and they will see all [the] ends of [the] earth [the] salvation of God our.
11 Ondokeni, ondokeni, enendeni mbali na hapa; msiguse kitu chochote ambacho ni najisi; au kuishi katikati yake; jitakase mwenyewe, enyi mliobeba vyombo vya Yahwe.
Depart depart go out from there an unclean [thing] may not you touch go out from [the] midst of it purify yourselves O bearers of [the] vessels of Yahweh.
12 Maana hautakwenda nje kwa kukimbia, wala hautaondoka kwa hofu; Maana Yahwe atakuwa mbele yako; na Mungu wa Israeli atakuwa mlinzi wako nyuma.
For not in haste you will go out and in flight not you will go! for [will be] going before you Yahweh and [will be] rearguard your [the] God of Israel.
13 Tazameni, mtumishi wangu atafanya hekima; atakuwa juu na atanyanyuliwa juu, na atapandishwa juu.
There! he will prosper servant my he will be high and he will be lifted up and he will be exalted exceedingly.
14 Na wengi watamstajabia yeye- muonekano wake umekunjamana nje ya muonekano wa mwanadamu, hivyo basi upande wake ulikuwa mbali na kitu chochote ambacho ni binadamu-
Just as they were appalled on you many [people] so [was] a disfigurement from a person appearance his and form his from [the] children of humankind.
15 Na hivyo, mtumishi wangu atanyunyizia mataifa mengi na wafme watafunga midomo yao kwa sababu yake. Kana kwamba hawajawahi kuambiwa, wataona, kana kwamba hawakusikia, wataelewa.
So he will startle nations many on him they will shut kings mouth their for [that] which not it had been recounted to them they will see and [that] which not they had heard they will understand.
