Isaiah 52
1 Aries, arise: put on thy strength, O Zion: put on thy garments of thy beautie, O Ierusalem, the holy citie: for hencefoorth there shall no more come into thee the vncircumcised and the vncleane.
Amka, amka, ee Sayuni, jivike nguvu. Vaa mavazi yako ya fahari, ee Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu. Asiyetahiriwa na aliye najisi hataingia kwako tena.
2 Shake thy selfe from the dust: arise, and sit downe, O Ierusalem: loose the bandes of thy necke, O thou captiue daughter, Zion.
Jikungʼute mavumbi yako, inuka, uketi kwenye kiti cha enzi, ee Yerusalemu. Jifungue minyororo iliyo shingoni mwako, ee Binti Sayuni uliye mateka.
3 For thus sayeth the Lord, Yee were solde for naught: therefore shall ye be redeemed without money.
Kwa kuwa hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Mliuzwa pasipo malipo, nanyi mtakombolewa bila fedha.”
4 For thus saith the Lord God, My people went downe afore time into Egypt to soiourne there, and Asshur oppressed them without cause.
Kwa maana hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenyezi: “Hapo kwanza watu wangu walishuka Misri kuishi, hatimaye, Ashuru wakawaonea.
5 Nowe therefore what haue I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for naught, and they that rule ouer them, make them to howle, saith the Lord? and my Name all the day continually is blasphemed?
“Basi sasa nina nini hapa?” asema Bwana. “Kwa kuwa watu wangu wamechukuliwa pasipo malipo, nao wale wanaowatawala wanawadhihaki,” asema Bwana. “Mchana kutwa jina langu limetukanwa bila kikomo.
6 Therefore my people shall know my Name: therefore they shall know in that day, that I am he that doe speake: beholde, it is I.
Kwa hiyo watu wangu watalijua Jina langu; kwa hiyo katika siku ile watajua kwamba ndimi niliyetangulia kulisema. Naam, ni mimi.”
7 How beautifull vpon the mountaines are the feete of him, that declareth and publisheth peace? that declareth good tidings, and publisheth saluation, saying vnto Zion, Thy God reigneth?
Tazama jinsi miguu ya wale waletao habari njema ilivyo mizuri juu ya milima, wale wanaotangaza amani, wanaoleta habari njema, wanaotangaza wokovu, wauambiao Sayuni, “Mungu wako anatawala!”
8 The voyce of thy watchmen shalbe heard: they shall lift vp their voyce, and shoute together: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring againe Zion.
Sikiliza! Walinzi wako wanapaza sauti zao, pamoja wanapaza sauti zao kwa furaha. Wakati Bwana atakaporejea Sayuni, wataliona kwa macho yao wenyewe.
9 O ye desolate places of Ierusalem, bee glad and reioyce together: for the Lord hath comforted his people: he hath redeemed Ierusalem.
Pazeni sauti ya nyimbo za furaha pamoja, enyi magofu ya Yerusalemu, kwa maana Bwana amewafariji watu wake, ameikomboa Yerusalemu.
10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arme in the sight of all the Gentiles, and all the endes of the earth shall see the saluation of our God.
Mkono mtakatifu wa Bwana umefunuliwa machoni pa mataifa yote, nayo miisho yote ya dunia itaona wokovu wa Mungu wetu.
11 Depart, depart ye: goe out from thence and touche no vncleane thing: goe out of the middes of her: be ye cleane, that beare the vessels of the Lord.
Ondokeni, ondokeni, tokeni huko! Msiguse kitu chochote kilicho najisi! Tokeni kati yake mwe safi, ninyi mchukuao vyombo vya Bwana.
12 For ye shall not goe out with haste, nor depart by fleeing away: but the Lord will goe before you, and the God of Israel will gather you together.
Lakini hamtaondoka kwa haraka, wala hamtakwenda kwa kukimbia; kwa maana Bwana atatangulia mbele yenu, Mungu wa Israeli atakuwa mlinzi nyuma yenu.
13 Beholde, my seruant shall prosper: he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very hie.
Tazama, mtumishi wangu atatenda kwa hekima; atatukuzwa, na kuinuliwa juu, na kukwezwa sana.
14 As many were astonied at thee (his visage was so deformed of men, and his forme of the sonnes of men)
Kama walivyokuwa wengi walioshangazwa naye, kwani uso wake ulikuwa umeharibiwa sana zaidi ya mtu yeyote na umbo lake kuharibiwa zaidi ya mfano wa mwanadamu:
15 so shall hee sprinkle many nations: the Kings shall shut their mouthes at him: for that which had not bene tolde them, shall they see, and that which they had not heard, shall they vnderstande.
hivyo atayashangaza mataifa mengi, nao wafalme watafunga vinywa vyao kwa sababu yake. Kwa kuwa yale ambayo hawakuambiwa, watayaona, nayo yale wasiyoyasikia, watayafahamu.
