Isaiah 45
1 The LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
Yahwe asema hivi kwa mapakwa mafuta, kwa Koreshi, niliyemshika kwa mkono wa kuume, illi niweze kuangamiza mataifa mbele yake, kuwalinda wafalme, kufunguo milango mbele yao, ili lango liwe wazi:
2 “I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces and cut apart the bars of iron.
''Nitakwenda mbele yako na kusawazisha milima; nitavunjavunja vipandevivande milango ya shaba na kukuta vipandevipande nguzo za chuma,
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the LORD, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.
Nitakupa hazina iliyo gizani na utajiri uliofichwa mbali, ili ujue kwamba ni mimi Yahwe, niliyekuita kwa jina lako, Mimi, Mungu wa Israeli.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.
Kwa niaba ya Jakobo mtumishi wangu, na Israeli chaguo langu, Nimekuita wewe kwa jina lako: nimekupa heshima iliyotukuka, jabo hakunijua mimi.
5 I am the LORD, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,
Mimi ni Yahwe na hapana mwingine; hakuna Mungu ila mimi. Nitakuimarisha katika vita, japo hamkunifamu mimi;
6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no one else.
kwamba watu wajue kutoka mapambazuko ya jua, na kutoka magharibi, kwamba hakuna mungu mwngine ila mimi: Mimi ni Yahwe, na hakuna mwingine.
7 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am the LORD, who does all these things.
Nimefanya mwanga na nimeumba giza; Ninanateta amani na ninaumba majanga; Mimi Yahwe, nifanyae haya yote.
8 Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.
Enyi mbingu, nyesha kutoka juu! Acha anga lishushe chini haki, na acha nchi inyonje haki, ili wokovu uweze kuchipukia juu, na haki kutawanyika kwa pamoja. Mimi Yahwe nimewumba wote kwa pamoja.
9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
Ole kwa yeyote anayesema kwa yule aliyemfanya yeye, kwake yeye ni kama chungu cha udongo miongoni mwa vyingu vya udongo katika aridhi! Je udongo umwambia mfinyanzi, 'Unatengeneza nini? au ' Kazi yako haina kitu cha kushika?
10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
Ole wake asemae kwa baba, 'Unanizaa nini? au kwa mwanamke, 'unanizaa mimi nin?'
11 The LORD, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
Yahwe asema hivi, yeye aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli, muumbaji wake: 'Kwa nini unauliza swali kuhusu nini nitakacho kifanya kwa watoto wangu? Je unaweza kuniambia kuuhusiana na kazi ya mikono yangu?
12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.
Nimeifanya nchi na kuumba mtu juu yake. Ni mkono yangu mimi nilioinyoosha ju ya mbingu, na nikazimuru nyota zote kutokea.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says the LORD of Armies.
Nimemuinua Keroshi juu katika haki yangu, na nitalainisha njia zake zote. Ataujenga mji wangu kwa upya; atawachia walioko uhamishoni kurudi nyumbani kwao, na so kwa pesa wala kwa rushwa,'' asema Yahwe wa majeshi.
14 The LORD says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.
Yahwe asema hivi, mapato ya Misri na bidhaa ya Ethiopia pamoja na Waseba jamii ya watu werefu, tatawaleta kwenu. Watakuwa wa kwenu. Watafuata baada yenu, watakuja na minyororo. Watakuinamia chini na kukuomba huku wakisema, 'Hakika Mungu yuko pamoja na wewe na hakuna mwingine ila yeye.''
15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”
Hakika mna Mungu aliyejifisha ndani yenu, Mungu wa Israeli, Mkombozi.
16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
Wote wataabishwa na kuzaraliwa kwa pamoja; wale wachongao sanamu watatembea katika udhalilishaji.
17 Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
Lakini Israeli itakombolewa na Yahwe kawa wokovu wa milele; na wala hautaabika tena au kudhalilishwa.
18 For the LORD who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and did not create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am the LORD. There is no other.
Yahwe asem hivi, nani aliyeziumba mbingu, Mungu wa kweli ndiye aliyeiumbwa nchi na kuifaya, ndiye aliyeianzisha nchi. Aliiumba yeye, sio kama taka, aliimba ili pawe na wenyeji: ''mimi ni Yahwe, na hakuna mwingine.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, the LORD, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
Sijaongea katika siri, katika maeneo ya siri; Sijauambia ukoo wa Daudi, 'Nitafute bure! Mimi ni Yahwe ninayezungumza ukweli; Ninatangaza vitu vilivyo vya kweli.
20 “Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that cannot save.
Jikusanjeni wenyewe na mje! kusanyikeni kwa pamoja, enyi wakimbizi kutoka miongoni mwa mataifa! Hawana maarifa, wale wanaobeba sanamu ya kuchonga na kuiomba miungu asiyewasidia.
21 Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Have not I, the LORD? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.
Sogeeni karibu na mnitangazie mimi, leteni ushahidi! waache walete mashauri kwa pamoja. Ni nani aliyewaonyesha haya kutoka zamani? Ni nani aliyetangaza? Je sikuwa mimi, Yahwe? na hakuna Mungu mwingine ila mimi, Mungu mwenye haki; na mkombozi; hakuna mwingine zaidi yake.
22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
Nijeukieni mimi, na mkaokolewe, miisho yote ya nchi; Maana mimi ni Mungu, na hakuna mwingine. Mimi mwenyewe ninaapa, ninaongea katika haki yangu, na sitarudi nyuma:
23 I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
'kwangu kila goti litapigwa, na kila ulimi utakiri.
24 They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in the LORD.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
Wataniambia mimi, Ni katika Yahwe peke yake kuna wokovu na nguvu.'' wataaibika wale wote wenye hasira na Mungu.
25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in the LORD, and will rejoice!
Katika Yahwe makabila yote ya Israeli yataalalishwa; watachukua kiburi katika yeye.
