1 Yahwe asema hivi, ''Fanyeni yaliyo sahihi, fanyeni yaliyo ya haki; maana wakovu wangu u karibu, na haki yangu inakaribia kujidhihirisha.
Thus he says Yahweh keep justice and do righteousness for [is] near salvation my to come and righteousness my to be revealed.
2 Abarikiwe mtu yule ataendae haya, anayeyashika sana. Anaifuata sabato, na haitii unajisi, azuiaye mkono wake usitende maovu.''
How blessed! [is the] person [who] he does this and [the] child of humankind [who] he takes hold on it [who] keeps [the] sabbath from profaning it and [who] keeps hand his from doing any evil.
3 Usimuache mgeni yeyote aliyekuwa mfuasi wa Yahwe aseme, ''Yahwe atahakikisha ananiondoa kwa watu wake.'' Toashi ataweza kusema, ''tazama, mimi ni mti mkavu.''
And may not he say [the] son of foreignness who has joined himself to Yahweh saying certainly he will separate me Yahweh from with people his and may not he say the eunuch here! I [am] a tree dry.
4 Yahwe asema hivi, kwa matoashi wanaoitimiza sabato yangu huchagua mambo yanayonipendeza mimi, na hushika kwanza agano langu,
For thus - he says Yahweh to the eunuchs who they keep sabbaths my and they choose [that] which I desire and [they are] keeping hold on covenant my.
5 kwao nitaiweka nyumba yangu na ndani ya kuta zangu kumbukumbu ambayo ni kubwa kuliko kuwa na vijana na mabinti. Nitawapa kumbumbu ya milele ambalo halitaondolewa.
And I will give to them in house my and in walls my a monument and a name good more than sons and more than daughters a name of perpetuity I will give to him which not it will be cut off.
6 Pia wageni ambao wataungana wenyewe kwa Yahwe- kwa ajili ya kumtumikia yeye, na yeye alipendae jina la Yahwe, kumuabudu yeye, na kila anayeheshimu sabato na wale wanoitunza isitiwe najisi, na wale walishikao agano langu
And [the] sons of foreignness who join themselves to Yahweh to serve him and to love [the] name of Yahweh to become of him servants every [one who] keeps [the] sabbath from profaning it and [those who] keep hold on covenant my.
7 nitawaleta katika mlima wangu mtakatifu na kuwafaya muwe na furaha katika nyumba yangu ya maombi; matoleo na sadaka zenu zitakubalika katika mathebau yangu. Maana nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya maombi kwa mataifa yote.
And I will bring them to [the] mountain of holiness my and I will make rejoice them in [the] house of prayer my burnt offerings their and sacrifices their [will be] for acceptance on altar my for house my a house of prayer it will be called for all the peoples.
8 Hili ni tamko la Yahwe, anayewakusanya watu wenye ukiwa katika Israeli- nitaendelea kuwakusanya wenginwe ili kuwaongeza wao.''
[the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh [who] gathers [the] banished [ones] of Israel still I will gather to it to gathered [ones] its.
9 Enyi nyote wanyama pori mlioko porini, njooni na mle, enyi wanyama mlioko msituni, Walinzi wao wote ni vipofu, hawaelewi.
O every animal of [the] field come to devour O every animal in the forest.
10 Wote ni mbwa wapole ambao hawawezi kubweka. Wanaota, na wanalala chini maana wanapenda kulala.
(Watchmen its *Q(K)*) [are] blind all of them not they know all of them [are] dogs dumb not they are able to bark [they] dream [they] lie down [they] love to slumber.
11 Mbwa wanahamu kubwa; hawajawahi kuridhika; wachungaji wao hawawatambui; wamejeuka katika njia zao wenyewe, kila mmoja ana tamaa kupata faida isiyo yaa haki.
And the dogs [are] mighty of appetite not they know satiety and they [are] shepherds not they know to understand all of them to own way their they have turned everyone to own unjust gain his from end his.
12 ''Njooni, ''Tunywe mvinyo na pombe. Kesho itakuwa kama leo, siku kubwa zaidi ya kipimo.''
Come let me take wine and let us drink strong drink and it will be like this day tomorrow great abundance exceedingly.
