1
Ondoka, uangaze; kwa kuwa nuru yako imekuja, Na utukufu wa Bwana umekuzukia.
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
2
Maana, tazama, giza litaifunika dunia, Na giza kuu litazifunika kabila za watu; Bali Bwana atakuzukia wewe, Na utukufu wake utaonekana juu yako.
For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you.
3
Na mataifa wataijilia nuru yako, Na wafalme kuujia mwanga wa kuzuka kwako.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
4
Inua macho yako, utazame pande zote; Wote wanakusanyana; wanakujia wewe; Wana wako watakuja kutoka mbali. Na binti zako watabebwa nyongani.
Lift up your eyes and look around: They all gather and come to you; your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried on the arm.
5
Ndipo utakapoona na kutiwa nuru, Na moyo wako utatetemeka na kukunjuka; Kwa kuwa wingi wa bahari utageuzwa kukujia, Utajiri wa mataifa utakuwasilia.
Then you will look and be radiant, and your heart will tremble and swell with joy, because the riches of the sea will be brought to you, and the wealth of the nations will come to you.
6
Wingi wa ngamia utakufunika, Ngamia vijana wa Midiani na Efa; Wote watakuja kutoka Sheba; Wataleta dhahabu na uvumba; Na kuzitangaza sifa za Bwana.
Caravans of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah, and all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and frankincense and proclaiming the praises of the LORD.
7
Makundi yote ya Kedari yatakusanyika kwako, Kondoo waume wa Nebayothi watakutumikia; Watapanda juu ya madhabahu yangu kwa kibali, Nami nitaitukuza nyumba ya utukufu wangu.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth will serve you and go up on My altar with acceptance; I will adorn My glorious house.
8
Ni nani hawa warukao kama wingu, Na kama njiwa waendao madirishani kwao?
Who are these who fly like clouds, like doves to their shelters?
9
Hakika yake visiwa vitaningojea, Na merikebu za Tarshishi kwanza, Ili kuleta wana wako kutoka mbali, Na fedha yao na dhahabu yao pamoja nao, Kwa ajili ya jina la Bwana, Mungu wako, Kwa ajili yake Mtakatifu wa Israeli, Kwa kuwa amekutukuza wewe.
Surely the islands will wait for Me, with the ships of Tarshish in the lead, to bring your children from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for He has glorified you.
10
Na wageni watajenga kuta zako, Na wafalme wao watakuhudumu; Maana katika ghadhabu yangu nalikupiga, Lakini katika upendeleo wangu nimekurehemu.
Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. Although I struck you in anger, yet in favor I will show you mercy.
11
Malango yako nayo yatakuwa wazi daima; Hayatafungwa mchana wala usiku; Ili watu wapate kukuletea utajiri wa mataifa, Na wafalme wao wakiongozwa pamoja nao.
Your gates will always stand open; they will never be shut, day or night, so that the wealth of the nations may be brought into you, with their kings being led in procession.
12
Kwa maana kila taifa na ufalme wa watu Wasiotaka kukutumikia wataangamia; Naam, mataifa hayo wataharibiwa kabisa.
For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly destroyed.
13
Utukufu wa Lebanoni utakujia wewe, Mberoshi na mtidhari na mteashuri pamoja; Ili kupapamba mahali pangu patakatifu, Nami nitapatukuza mahali pa miguu yangu.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you—its cypress, elm, and boxwood together—to adorn the place of My sanctuary, and I will glorify the place of My feet.
14
Na wana wa watu wale waliokutesa Watakuja kwako na kukuinamia; Nao wote waliokudharau Watajiinamisha hata nyayo za miguu yako; Nao watakuita, Mji wa Bwana, Sayuni wa Mtakatifu wa Israeli.
The sons of your oppressors will come and bow down to you; all who reviled you will fall facedown at your feet and call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15
Na kwa kuwa umeachwa na kuchukiwa, Hata ikawa hapana mtu aliyepita ndani yako, Nitakufanya kuwa fahari ya milele, Furaha ya vizazi vingi.
Whereas you have been forsaken and despised, with no one passing through, I will make you an everlasting pride, a joy from age to age.
16
Utanyonya maziwa ya mataifa, Utanyonya matiti ya wafalme; Nawe utajua ya kuwa mimi, Bwana, ni mwokozi wako, Na mkombozi wako, Mwenye enzi wa Yakobo.
You will drink the milk of nations and nurse at the breasts of royalty; you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17
Badala ya shaba nitaleta dhahabu, Na badala; ya chuma nitaleta fedha, Na badala ya mti, shaba, Na badala ya mawe, chuma; Tena nitawafanya wasimamizi wako wawe amani, Na hao wakutozao fedha kuwa haki.
Instead of bronze I will bring you gold; I will bring silver in place of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones. I will appoint peace as your governor and righteousness as your ruler.
18
Jeuri haitasikiwa tena katika nchi yako, Ukiwa na uharibifu hazitakuwa mipakani mwako; Bali utaziita kuta zako, Wokovu, Na malango yako, Sifa.
No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders. But you will name your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.
19
Jua halitakuwa nuru yako tena wakati wa mchana, Wala mwezi hautakupa nuru kwa mwangaza wake; Bali Bwana atakuwa nuru ya milele kwako, Na Mungu wako atakuwa utukufu wako.
No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.
20
Jua lako halitashuka tena, Wala mwezi wako hautajitenga; Kwa kuwa Bwana mwenyewe atakuwa nuru yako ya milele; Na siku za kuomboleza kwako zitakoma.
Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not wane; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will cease.
21
Watu wako nao watakuwa wenye haki wote, Nao watairithi nchi milele;
Then all your people will be righteous; they will possess the land forever; they are the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, so that I may be glorified.
22
Mdogo atakuwa elfu, Na mnyonge atakuwa taifa hodari; Mimi, Bwana, nitayahimiza hayo wakati wake.
The least of you will become a thousand, and the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will accomplish it quickly.
