< Isaya 66 >

1 Yahwe asema hivi, ''Mbinguni ni makao yangu, na nchi ni miguu yangu. Iko wapi nyumba uliyonitengenezea mimi? iko wapi sehemu amabayo ninaweza kupumzika?
Thus he says Yahweh the heavens [are] throne my and the earth [is] [the] footstool of feet my where? this [is the] house which you will build for me and where? this [is the] place rest my.
2 Mkono wangu umeyafanya haya yote; hivi ndovyo jinsi ambavyo vitu vitatokeavyo—hili ndilo tamko la Yahwe. Mtu niliyempitisha, mwenye roho iliyopondeka na mwenye kujutia roho, na atetemekaye kwa ajili ya neno langu.
And all these [things] hand my it made and they were all these [things] [the] utterance of Yahweh and to this one I will look to an afflicted [person] and a [person] stricken of spirit and a [person] trembling on word my.
3 Yeyote achinjae ng'ombe humuua mtu pia; yeye anayetoa sadaka ya kondoo huvunja shingo ya mbwa pia; yeye anayetoa sadaka ya mavuno anatoa sadaka ya damu yangurue; yeye anayetoa kumbukumbuvumba huwabariki wakosaji pia. Wamechagua njia zao wenyewe wanachukua radhi kwa uchafu wao wenyewe.
[one who] slaughters Ox [one who] strikes down a person [one who] sacrifices lamb [one who] breaks [the] neck of a dog [one who] offers up a grain offering [the] blood of a pig [one who] offers as a memorial frankincense [one who] blesses wickedness also they they have chosen own ways their and detestable things their self their it has delighted.
4 Katika njia hiyo hiyo nitachagua adhabu yao wenyewe; Nitaleta juu yao kitu wanachokiogopa, maana niilpowaita, hakuna aliyeitika; nilipozungumza aliyenisikiliza mimi. Walifanya yaliyo maovu mbele yangu, na kuchagua yasiyo nipenindeza mimi.''
Also I I will choose punishments their and fears their I will bring to them because I called and there not [was one who] answered I spoke and not they listened and they did the evil in eyes my and [that] which not I desired they chose.
5 Sikiliza neno la Yahwe, ewe utemekae kwa neno lake, ''Kaka zako wanaonichukia na kukutenga wewe kwa ajili ya jina langu walisema, 'Na atukuzwe Yahwe, halafu tutaiona furaha yenu; lakini mtatiwa katika aibu.
Hear [the] word of Yahweh O [people] trembling to word his they have said relatives your [who] hate you [who] exclude you for [the] sake of name my will be honored Yahweh so we may look on joy your and they they will be ashamed.
6 Sauti ya vita vya ghasi vinakuja katika mji, sauti kutoka hekaluni, sauti ya Yahwe anawarudia maadui zake.
A sound of an uproar from [the] city a sound from [the] temple [the] sound of Yahweh repaying recompense to enemies his.
7 Kabla ajaenda katika chumba, hujifungua; kabla ya uchungu kumtoka hujifungua mtoto wa kiume.
Before she was in labor she gave birth before it came labor-pain[s] to her and she delivered a male.
8 Ni nani asikiaye mambo haya? Ni nani aonae mambo haya? Je taifa linaweza kuanzishwa kwa wakati mmoja? lakini kwa haraka Sayuni inapokwenda katika chumba, hujifungua watoto wake.
Who? has he heard like this who? has he seen like these ¿ will it be brought forth a land in a day one or? will it be born a nation a time one for she was in labor also she gave birth to Zion children her.
9 Ninawezaje kumleta mtoto azaliwe na nisimruhusu mtoto azaliwe? Yahwe auliza? — au Je ninamleta mtoto wakati tu wa kujifungua na halafu nimshikilie tena - anauliza Yahwe.''
¿ I do I bring to [the] birth and not I cause to bring forth he says Yahweh or? [am] I the [one who] causes to bring forth and do I restrain? he says God your.
10 Furahia na Yerusalemu na fuhahia kwa ajili yake, ninyi nyote mnaopenda yeye; furahia pamoja na yeye, ninyi mnaomboleza juu yake!
Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad in it O all [those who] love it exult with it exultation O all those [who] mourn on it.
11 Maana utamuuguza na ataridhika, katika maziwa yake atakufariji; utakunywa mpaka ushibe na kufurahia kwa wingi wa utukufu wake.
So that you may suck and you will be satisfied from [the] breast of consolations its so that you may suck and you will take delight from [the] nipple of abundance its.
12 Yahwe asema hivi, ''Ni nanakaribia kutawanya mafanikio juu katika mto, na utajiri wa mataifa kama wingi wa mkondo wa maji. Utamuuguza kwa upande wake, na kubebwa katika mikono yake, mtabebwa juu ya magoti yake.
For thus - he says Yahweh here I [am] about to extend to it like a river peace and like a torrent overflowing [the] abundance of nations and you will suck on a hip you will be carried and on knees you will be fondled.
13 Kama vile mama anavyomfariji mtoto wake, hivyo basi nami nitawafariji ninyi, na mtapata faraja katika Yerusalemu.''
Like a person whom mother his she comforts him so I I will comfort you and in Jerusalem you will be comforted.
14 Utayaona haya, na moyo wako utafurahia, na mifupa yako itachipukia kama zabuni ya nyasi. Aridhi ya Yahweitajulikana kwa watumishi wake, lakini atawaonyesha hasira yake dhidi ya maadui zake.
And you will see and it will exult heart your and bones your like grass they will sprout and it will be made known [the] hand of Yahweh with servants his and he will be indignant enemies his.
15 Kwa kutazama, Yahwe anakuja kwa moto, na gari lake linakuja kama upepo wa dhoruba kuleta joto katika hasira yake na kukemea kwake ni kama moto uwakao.
For there! Yahweh in fire he will come and [will be] like the storm-wind chariots his to bring back with rage anger his and rebuke his with flames of fire.
16 Maana Yahwe ametekeleza hukumu juu ya watu kwa moto na kwa upanga wake. Wale watakaouliwa na Yahwe watakuwa wengi.
For by fire Yahweh [will] enter into judgment and by sword his with all flesh and they will be many [those] slain of Yahweh.
17 Watajiweka wakfu wenyewe na kujisafisha wenywe, ili waweze kuingia katika bustani, kumfuata aliyeko katikati ya wale walao nyama ya nguruwe na vitu haramu kama panya. ''Watafika mwisho - hili ni tamko la Yahwe.
Who consecrate themselves and who purify themselves to the gardens after (one *Qk) in the middle [those who] eat [the] flesh of the pig and the detestable thing and the mouse all together they will come to an end [the] utterance of Yahweh.
18 Maana ninayajua matendo yao na mawazo yao. Wakatiutafika nitakapoyakusanya mataifa yote na lugha zote. Watakuja na kuona utukufu wangu.
And I deeds their and thoughts their [is] coming to gather all the nations and the languages and they will come and they will see glory my.
19 Nitaweka ishara ya ukuu wangu miongoni mwao. Halafu nitawatuma wakazi kutoka miongoni mwao kwa mataifa. Kwa Tarshishi, Puti, na Ludi, upinde wale wanaochukua upinde wao, kwa Tubali, Javani, na umbali kuelekea katika pwani kule ambapo hawajasikia chochote kuhusu mimi wala kuona utukufu wangu. Watatangaza utukufu wangu miongoni mwa mataifa.
And I will perform among them a sign and I will send of them - survivors to the nations Tarshish Pul and Lud [those who] draw a bow Tubal and Javan the islands distant which not they have heard report my and not they have seen glory my and they will declare glory my among the nations.
20 Watawaleta kaka zako wote nje ya mataifa yote, kama sadaka kwa Yahwe. Watakuja kwa farasi na kwa gari, na kwa gari, juu ya nyumbu na juu ya ngamia, kuelekea mlima wangu mtakatifu Yerusalemu - asema Yahwe. Maana watu wangu wa Israeli wataleta sadaka ya mavuno kwenye vyombo visafi katika nyumba ya Yahwe.
And they will bring back all relatives your from all the nations - an offering - to Yahweh on horses and in chariot[s] and in wagons and on mules and on camels to [the] mountain of holiness my Jerusalem he says Yahweh just as they will bring [the] people of Israel the grain offering in a vessel pure [the] house of Yahweh.
21 Baadhi ya vitu hivi nitavichagua kama makuhani na walawi — asema Yahwe.
And also some of them I will take to priests to Levites he says Yahweh.
22 Maana itakuwa mbingu mpya na nchi mpya ambayo nitakayoifanya ibaki mbele zangu— Hili ndilo tamko la Yahwe— Hivyo ndivyo ukoo wenu utakavyobakia, na jina lenu litabaki.
For just as the heavens new and the earth new which I [am] about to make [will] endure before me [the] utterance of Yahweh so it will endure offspring your and name your.
23 Kutoka mwenzi mmoja mpaka mwingine, na kutoka sabato moja mpaka nyingine, watu wote watakuja kukuinamia chini— asema Yahwe.
And it will be as often as a new moon in new moon its and as often as a sabbath in sabbath its it will come all flesh to bow down before me he says Yahweh.
24 Watakwenda nje na kuona miili ya wafu ya watu walioniasi mimi, maana wadudu wawalao wao hatakufa, na moto huwaunguzao hautazimika; na itakuwa ni chuki kwa wale wote wenye mwili.''
And they will go out and they will look on [the] corpses of the people who rebelled against me for worm their not it will die and fire their not it will be extinguished and they will be an abhorrence to all flesh.
