Isaya 62
1 Kwa niaba ya Sayuni sitatulia, na kwa naiba ya Yerusalemu sitanyamaza kimya, mpaka haki yake itakapotokea, na wokovu wake kama tochi.
For Zions sake I will not holde my tongue, and for Ierusalems sake I wil not rest, vntil the righteousnes thereof breake foorth as the light, and saluation thereof as a burning lampe.
2 Mataifa yataona haki yako, na wafalme wote wataona utukufu wako. Utaitwa kwa jina jipya ambalo Yahwe atalichagua.
And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousnesse, and all Kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
3 Pia utakuwa taji zuri katika mkono wa Yahwe, na kilemba cha ufalme katika mkono wa Mungu wako.
Thou shalt also be a crowne of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royall diademe in the hand of thy God.
4 Hautaambiwa tena, ''Umetelekezwa''; wala kwa nchi yako hautasema tena, ''Ukiwa.'' kweli, itaitwa ''Neema yangu iko kwake'', na nchi yao ''ndoa'' mana furaha ya Yahwe ndani yenu, na nchi yenu itaolewa.
It shall no more be sayd vnto thee, Forsaken, neither shall it be said any more to thy land, Desolate, but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord deliteth in thee, and thy land shall haue an husband.
5 Hakika, kama kijana mdogo akimuoa mwanamke mdogo, hivyo watoto wako watawaoa ninyi, na kama bwana harusi anavyofurahia juu ya bibi harusi, Mungu wenu atafuhai juu yenu.
For as a yong man marieth a virgine, so shall thy sonnes marry thee: and as a bridegrome is glad of the bride, so shall thy God reioyce ouer thee.
6 Nimemuweka mlinzi katika kuta zenu, Yerusalemu; hawatatulia mchana wala usiku. Utabaki kuwa Yahwe, usitulie.
I haue set watchmen vpon thy walles, O Ierusalem, which all the day and all the night continually shall not cease: ye that are mindfull of the Lord, keepe not silence,
7 Usimuache apumzike mpaka ainzishe tena Yerusalemu na kmfanya asifiwe duniani.
And giue him no rest, till hee repaire and vntill hee set vp Ierusalem the prayse of the worlde.
8 Yahwe ameapa kwa mkono wake wa kuume na kwa mkono wa nguvu zake, ''Hakika sitawapa tena nafaka kama chakula cha maadui zenu. Wageni hawatakunjwa mvinyo wenu uliompya maana mlifanya kazi.
The Lord hath sworne by his right hand and by his strong arme, Surely I wil no more giue thy corne to be meate for thine enemies, and surely the sonnes of the strangers shall not drinke thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured.
9 Kwale watakao vuna nafaka watazila na kumsifu Yahwe, na wale wanaochuma zabibu watakunjwa mvinyo katika mahakama ya madhebau yangu takatifu.''
But they that haue gathered it, shall eate it, and prayse the Lord, and the gatherers thereof shall drinke it in the courtes of my Sanctuarie.
10 Njooni pitieni, pitieni katika lango! Tenegenezeni mapito ya watu! Itengenezeni, Tengeneza njia kuu! kusanyeni mawe! Nyanyueni juu ishara ya bendera kwa mataifa!
Go through, go through the gates: prepare you the way for the people: cast vp, cast vp the way, and gather out the stones and set vp a standart for the people.
11 Tazama, Yahwe ametangaza mwisho wa nchi, ''Waambie binti Sayuni: Tazama, Mkombozi wenu anakuja! Angalia, amebeba zawadi zake, na malipo yake yapo mbele yake.''
Beholde, the Lord hath proclaimed vnto the endes of the world: tell the daughter Zion, Beholde, thy Sauiour commeth: beholde, his wages is with him, and his worke is before him.
12 Watakuita wewe, ''Mtu mtakatifu; Mkombozi wa Yahwe,'' nawe utaitwa ''Ulioacha kabla; mji usiotelekezwa.''
And they shall call them, The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord, and thou shalt be named, A citie sought out and not forsaken.
