Isaya 58
1 ''Lia kwa sauti; usinyamaze. Paza sauti yako juu kama mbiu. Kabiliana na watu wangu wenye uasi, na nyumba ya Yakobo na dhambi zao.
Crye thou, ceesse thou not; as a trumpe enhaunse thi vois, and schewe thou to my puple her grete trespassis, and to the hous of Jacob her synnes.
2 Bali wananitafuta mimi kila siku na kufurahia katika maarifa ya njia zangu, kama taifa linalotenda haki na hawakuiacha sheria ya Mungu wao. Wananiuliza mimi kuhusu hukumu ya haki; wamepata furaha katika mawazo yao ya kwa kumkaribia Mungu
For thei seken me fro dai in to dai, and thei wolen knowe my weies; as a folk, that hath do riytfulnesse, and that hath not forsake the doom of her God; thei preien me domes of riytfulnesse, and wolen neiy to God.
3 Kwa niini tulifunga; walisema, 'Lakini hamkuona hilo? Kwa nini tulijinyenyekeza wenywe, lakini hakutambua?' Tazama, siku ya kufunda kwanu utatafuta furaha yanu mwenyewe na kuwanyanyasa wafanyakazi wenu wote.
Whi fastiden we, and thou biheldist not; we mekiden oure soulis, and thou knewist not? Lo! youre wille is foundun in the dai of youre fastyng, and ye axen alle youre dettouris.
4 Tazama, ninyi mnafunga ili muwe wepesi wa kugombana na kupigana, na kupiga kwa ngumi ya uovu wako; haujafunga leo kuifanya sauti yako isikike juu.
Lo! ye fasten to chidyngis and stryuyngis, and smyten with the fist wickidli. Nyl ye fast, as `til to this dai, that youre cry be herd an hiy.
5 Kwa uhalisi aina ya mfungo huu ndio ambao ninauhitaji: Siku ambayo kila mtu hunyenyekea mwenyewe, huinamisha kichwa chake chini kama mwanzi, na hutawanya mavazi ya magunia na majivu chini yake? Je kweli unauita huu ni mfungo, siku ya kumfurahisha Yahwe?
Whether sich is the fastyng which Y chees, a man to turmente his soule bi dai? whether to bynde his heed as a sercle, and to make redi a sak and aische? Whethir thou schalt clepe this a fastyng, and a dai acceptable to the Lord?
6 Hii sio mfungo ambao niliuchagua mimi: kufungua vifungo vya waovu, kufungua kamba za nira, kuwaweka huru walioangamizwa, na kuharibu kila nira?
Whether not this is more the fastyng, which Y chees? Vnbynde thou the byndingis togidere of vnpitee, releesse thou birthuns pressynge doun; delyuere thou hem free, that ben brokun, and breke thou ech birthun.
7 Sio kwamba kula mkate na wenye njaa na kuwaleta masikini na kuwaleta wasio na makazi katika nyuma yako?'' Unapomuana mtu yuko uchi, unatakiwa vumvishe mavazi; na usijifiche mwenyewe na ndugu zako.
Breke thi breed to an hungri man, and brynge in to thin hous nedi men and herborles; whanne thou seest a nakid man, hile thou hym, and dispise not thi fleisch.
8 Halafu mwanga wako utafunguliwa kama jua, na uponyaji wako utachipukia juu kwa haraka; haki yako itaenda mbele zake, na na utukufu wa Yahwe utakuwa nyuma kukulinda.
Thanne thi liyt schal breke out as the morewtid, and thin helthe schal rise ful soone; and thi riytfulnesse schal go bifore thi face, and the glorie of the Lord schal gadere thee.
9 Halafu utamuita, na Yahwe atakuitikia; utalia ukihitaji msaada, na atasema, ''Nipo hapa.'' Ikiwa utaitoa nira isiwepo miongoni mwako, kidole kinachoshataki, maongezi ya waovu,
Thanne thou schalt clepe to help, and the Lord schal here; thou schalt crie, and he schal seie, Lo! Y am present, for Y am merciful, thi Lord God. If thou takist awei a chayne fro the myddis of thee, and ceessist to holde forth the fyngur, and to speke that profitith not;
10 Ikiwa wewe mwenyewe utawapa wenye njaa na kuwaridhisha wahitaji katika shida, na giza lako litakuwa kama mchana.
whanne thou schedist out thi soule to an hungri man, and fillist a soule, `that is turmentid, thi liyt schal rise in derknessis, and thi derknessis schulen be as myddai.
11 Halafu Yahwe ataendelea kuwaongoza ninyi na kuwa ridhisha ninyi katika mikoa ambayo hakuna maji, Ataimarisha mifupa yenu. Mtakuwa kama bustani iliyonyeshewa maji, na kama mkondo wa maji, ambaopo maji yake hayapungui.
And the Lord thi God schal yyue euere reste to thee, and schal fille thi soule with schynyngis, and schal delyuere thi boonys; and thou schalt be as a watri gardyn, and as a welle of watris, whose waters schulen not faile.
12 Baadhi yenu mtajenga tena sehumu za kale zilizoharibiwa; mtatengeneza sehemu zilizoharibiwana vizazi vingi; na mtaitwa ''Mrekebishaji wa ukuta,'' kuwarejesha katika mtaa ya kuishi.''
And the forsakun thingis of worldis schulen be bildid in thee, and thou schalt reise the foundementis of generacioun and generacioun; and thou schalt be clepid a bildere of heggis, turnynge awei the pathis of wickidnessis.
13 Tuseme kwamba ukigeuza nyuma miguu yenu kutoka safarini katika siku ya sabato, kufanya anasa siku yangu takatifu, Tuseme kwamba umeiita sabato siku ya furaha, na umeiita siku ya Bwana Yahwe mtakatifu na yenye kuheshimiwa. Tuseme kwamba unahieshimu sabato kwa kuacha biashara zako, na hautafuti anasa zako mwenyewe na uzungumzi maneno yako mwenyewe.
If thou turnest awei thi foot fro the sabat, to do thi wille in myn hooli dai, and clepist the sabat delicat, and hooli, the gloriouse of the Lord, and glorifiest him, while thou doist not thi weies, and thi wille is not foundun, that thou speke a word;
14 ''Halafu utapata furaha kwa Yahwe; na nitaifanya safari yako juu ya urefu wa nchi; Nitakulisha wewe kwenye urithi wa Yakobo baba yenu- maana mdomo wa Yahwe umezungumza.''
thanne thou schalt delite on the Lord, and Y schal reise thee on the hiynesse of erthe, and Y schal fede thee with the eritage of Jacob, thi fadir; for whi the mouth of the Lord spak.
