1 Nilikuwa tayari kuchaguliwa na wale ambao hawakuniomba; Nilikuwa tayari kupatikana kwa wale ambao hawakunitafuta. Nilisema, ''Niko hapa!' kwa taifa ambalo halikuita jina langu.
I let myself be consulted by [those who] not they had asked I let myself be found by [those who] not they had sought me I said here [am] I here [am] I to a nation [which] not it had been called by name my.
2 Nimetawanya mikono yangu siku zote kuwasumbua watu wangu, wanao tembea katika njia isiyopasa, wanaotembea kwa kufuata mawazo yao wenyewe na mipango yao.
I spread out hands my all the day to a people rebellious who walk the way not good after own thoughts their.
3 Kuna watu wanoendelea kunipinga mimi, wanatoa sadaka zao katika bustani, na kuchoma ubani juu ya matofali.
The people who provoke to anger me on face my continually [who] sacrifice in gardens and [who] make smoke on the bricks.
4 Wamekaa miongoni mwa makaburi na kuangalia usiku kucha, na hula nyama ya nguruwe na mchuzi mchafu wa nyama katika vyombo vyao.
Who sit among the graves and in secret places they spend [the] night who eat [the] flesh of the pig (and broth of *Q(K)*) unclean meat [is] vessels their.
5 Wanasema, 'Simama mbali, usisogee karibu na mimi, maana mimi ni mtakatifu zaidi yako.' Vitu hivi ni moshi katika pua zangu, moto uwakao mchana kutwa.
Who say draw near to yourself may not you draw near to me for I am set apart from you these [people] [are] smoke in nose my a fire [which] burns all the day.
6 Tazama, imeandikwa mbele yangu: Sitanyamaza, Maana nitawalipa wao tena; nitafanya malipo yao katika miguu yao,
Here! [it is] written before me not I will be silent that except I will repay and I will repay on bosom their.
7 kwa sababu ya dhambi zao na dhambi za baba zao kwa pamoja.'' asema Yahwe. ''Nitawajibu wao kwa kuchoma ubani juu ya milima na kunifanyia mimi juu ya vilima. Hivyo basi nitapima juu ya matendo yao ya kale katika miguu yao.''
Iniquities your and [the] iniquities of ancestors your together he says Yahweh who they made smoke on the mountains and on the hills they taunted me and I will measure work their first (into *Q(K)*) bosom their.
8 Yahwe asema hivi, ''Ikiwa kama juisi itapatikana katika nguzo ya zabibu, wakati mmoja ataposema, 'Usihiaribu hiyo, maa kuna uzuri ndani yake; hichi ndicho nitakachokifanya kwa niaba ya watumishi wangu: Sitawaribu wao wote.
Thus - he says Yahweh just as it is found the new wine in the cluster of grapes and someone says may not you destroy it for blessing [is] in it so I will act for [the] sake of servants my to not to destroy everyone.
9 Nitazileta koo kutoka kwa Yakobo, na kutoka Yuda wao ambao watairithi milima yangu. Niliowachagua watairithi aridhi, na watumishi wangu wataishi pale.
And I will bring out from Jacob offspring and from Judah [the] possessor of mountains my and they will take possession of it chosen ones my and servants my they will dwell there.
10 Sharoni itakuwa malisho ya makundi, na bonde la Akori itakuwa sehemu ya kupumzikia ya makundi yangu, kwa watu wangu wanaonitafuta mimi.
And it will become Sharon a pasture of sheep and [the] valley of Achor a resting place of cattle for people my who they have sought me.
11 Lakini yeye aliyeachana na Yehwe, anayeusahau mlima wangu mtakatifu, anayeandaa meza kwa bahati ya mungu, na kujaza kikombe cha mvinyo uliochanganywa na miungu inayoitwa Hatama.
And you [who] forsake Yahweh forgetting [the] mountain of holiness my who arrange for Fortune a table and who fill for Destiny mixed wine.
12 Nitaufikisha mwisho wenu kwa upanga, na wato mtainama chini kwa kuchinjwa, Kwa sababu nilipokuita wewe, haukuitikia; nilipozungumza haukunisikliza. lakini mlifanya yaliyo mabaya katika macho yangu na kuchagua kufanya yasiyo nipendeza mimi.''
And I will appoint you to the sword and all of you to the slaughter you will bow down because I called and not you answered I spoke and not you listened and you did the evil in view my and [that] which not I desired you chose.
13 Bwana Yahwe asema hivi, ''Tazama, mtumishi atakula, lakini atashikwa na njaa; tazama mtumishi wangu atakunywa lakini atakuwa na kiu; tazama mtumishi wangu atashangilia, lakini atatiwa katika aibu.
Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here! servants my - they will eat and you you will be hungry here! servants my they will drink and you you will be thirsty here! servants my they will rejoice and you you will be ashamed.
14 Tazama, mtumishi wangu atapiga kelele za furaha kwa sababu ya furaha ya moyo, lakini utalia kwa sababu ya maumivu ya moyo, na mtapiga kelele kwa sababu ya kusagwa kwa roho zenu.
Here! servants my they will shout for joy from goodness of heart and you you will cry out from pain of heart and from brokenness of spirit you will wail.
15 Nanyi mtaliacha jina lenu nyuma kama laana kwa watu niliowachagua wazungumze; Mimi Bwana Yahwe, Nitakuwa wewe; Nitawaita watumishi wangu kwa jina lingine.
And you will leave name your to a curse to chosen ones my and he will put to death you [the] Lord Yahweh and servants his he will call a name another.
16 Yeyote atakaye tamka baraka juu ya nchi atabarikiwa na mimi, Mungu wa kweli. Yeyote achukuae kiapo juu ya nchi anaapa na mimi, Mungu wa kweli, kwa sababu matatizo ya nyuma yatasaulika, maana yatafichwa machoni pangu.
That the [one who] blesses himself in the land he will bless himself by [the] God of surely and the [one who] swears an oath in the land he will swear an oath by [the] God of surely that they will be forgotten the troubles former and for they will be hidden from eyes my.
17 Maana tazama, Ninakaribia kuumba mbingu mpya na nchi mpya; na mambo ya kale hayatakumbukwa tena wala kufikiriwa katika akili.
For here I [am] about to create heavens new and an earth new and not they will be remembered the former [things] and not they will come up on a heart.
18 Lakini mtakuwa na furaha na kushangilia daima kwa nitakachokiumba. Tazama, Ninakaribia kuumba Yerusalemu mpya kama furaha na watu wake wenye furaha.
That except rejoice and be glad until perpetuity [that] which I [am] about to create for here I [am] about to create Jerusalem gladness and people its rejoicing.
19 Nitafurahia juu ya Yerusalemu watu wangu; kuomboleza na kilio cha dhiki akitasikika tena ndani yake.
And I will be glad in Jerusalem and I will rejoice in people my and not it will be heard in it again a sound of weeping and a sound of a cry of distress.
20 Hakuna tena mtoto atakayeishi pale japo kwa siku chache; wala mzee kufa kabla ya mda wake. Yule atakayekufa katika umri wa miaka mia moja atachukuliwa kama mtu mdogo. Yeyote ambaye atashindwa kufikia umri wa miaka mia moja atachukuliwa kama laana.
Not it will be from there again a sucking child of days and an old [person] who not he will complete days his for the young man a son of one hundred year[s] he will die and the [one who] misses a son of one hundred year[s] he will be cursed.
21 Watazijenga nyumba na kukaa huko, na watapanda mizabibu na kula matunda yake.
And they will build houses and they will dwell [in them] and they will plant vineyards and they will eat fruit their.
22 Hawatajenga nyumba na wengine waishi humo; hawatapanda, na wengine wale; maana kama siku za miti zitakuwa siku za watu wangu. Watu wangu wataishi kikamilifu kwa kazi ya mikono yao.
Not they will build and another he will dwell not they will plant and another he will eat for [will be] like [the] days of tree [the] days of people my and [the] work of hands their they will use to [the] full chosen ones my.
23 Hawatafanya kazi bure, wala kuzaa kwa kusikitishwa. Maana ni watoto wa waliobarikiwa na Yahwe, pamoj na koo zao.
Not they will labor to emptiness and not they will father children for sudden terror for [will be] [the] offspring of [those] blessed of Yahweh they and descendants their [will be] with them.
24 Kabla hawajaita, nitaitika; na wakati wanaendele kuzungumza, ntisikia. Mbwa mwitu na kondoo watachungwa pamoja, na simba atakula majani kama ng'ombe; lakini udongo utakuwa chakula cha nyoka.
And it will be before they will call and I I will answer still they [will be] speaking and I I will hear.
25 Hawataumiza tena wala kuharibujuu ya mlima wangu mtakatifu,'' asema Yahwe.
Wolf and lamb they will graze as one and [the] lion like the ox it will eat straw and a snake [will be] dust food its not they will do harm and not they will destroy in all [the] mountain of holiness my he says Yahweh.
