Haya ndiyo Bwana amwambiayo Koreshi, masihi wake,ambaye nimemshika mkono wake wa kuume,ili kutiisha mataifa mbele yake,name nitalegeza viuno vya wafalme;ili kufungua milango mbele yake,hata malango hayatafungwa.
This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:
2
Nitakwenda mbele yako, na kupasawazisha mahali palipoparuza; nitavunja vipande vipande milango ya shaba, na kukata-kata mapingo ya chuma;
“I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
3
nami nitakupa hazina za gizani, na mali zilizofichwa za mahali pa siri, upate kujua ya kuwa mimi ni Bwana, nikuitaye kwa jina lako, naam, Mungu wa Israeli.
I will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.
4
Kwa ajili ya Yakobo, mtumishi wangu, na Israeli, mteule wangu, nimekuita kwa jina lako; nimekupa jina la sifa; ijapokuwa hukunijua.
For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.
5
Mimi ni Bwana, wala hapana mwingine; zaidi yangu mimi hapana Mungu; nitakufunga mshipi ijapokuwa hukunijua;
I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but Me. I will equip you for battle, though you have not known Me,
6
ili wapate kujua toka maawio ya jua, na toka magharibi, ya kuwa hapana mwingine zaidi ya mimi; Mimi ni Bwana, wala hapana mwingine.
so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.
7
Mimi naiumba nuru, na kulihuluku giza; mimi nafanya suluhu, na kuhuluku ubaya; Mimi ni Bwana, niyatendaye hayo yote.
I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.
8
Dondokeni, enyi mbingu, toka juu, Mawingu na yamwage haki; Nchi na ifunuke, ili kutoa wokovu, Nayo itoe haki ikamee pamoja; Mimi, Bwana, nimeiumba.
Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.
9
Ole wake ashindanaye na Muumba wake! Kigae kimoja katika vigae vya dunia! Je! Udongo umwambie yeye aufinyangaye; Unafanya nini? Au kazi yako, Hana mikono?
Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker—one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?
10
Ole wake amwambiaye baba yake, Wazaa nini? Au mwanamke, Una utungu wa nini?
Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to his mother, ‘What have you brought forth?’”
11
Bwana, Mtakatifu wa Israeli, na Muumba wake, asema hivi; Niulize habari za mambo yatakayokuja; mambo ya wana wangu, na habari ya kazi ya mikono yangu; haya! Niagizeni.
Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “Concerning things to come, do you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?
12
Mimi nimeiumba dunia, nimemhuluku mwanadamu juu yake; Mimi, naam, mikono yangu mimi, imezitanda mbingu, na jeshi lake lote nimeliamuru.
It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. It was My hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordained all their host.
13
Mimi nimemwinua katika haki, nami nitazinyosha njia zake zote; ataujenga mji wangu, naye atawaacha huru watu wangu waliohamishwa, si kwa kulipwa fedha, wala kwa kupewa zawadi, asema Bwana wa majeshi.
I will raise up Cyrus in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild My city and set My exiles free, but not for payment or reward, says the LORD of Hosts.”
14
Bwana asema hivi, Kazi ya Misri, na bidhaa ya Kushi, na Waseba, watu walio warefu, watakujilia, nao watakuwa wako; watakufuata; watakuja katika minyororo; wataanguka chini mbele yako, watakuomba, wakisema, Hakika Mungu yu ndani yako; wala hapana mwingine, hapana Mungu tena.
This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, along with the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”
15
Hakika wewe u Mungu ujifichaye nafsi yako, Ee Mungu wa Israeli, Mwokozi.
Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16
Watatahayarika, naam, watafadhaika, wote pia; wale wafanyao sanamu wataingia fadhaa pamoja.
They will all be put to shame and humiliated; the makers of idols will depart together in disgrace.
17
Bali Israeli wataokolewa na Bwana kwa wokovu wa milele; ninyi hamtatahayarika, wala kufadhaika, milele na milele.
But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.
18
Maana Bwana, aliyeziumba mbingu, asema hivi; Yeye ni Mungu; ndiye aliyeiumba dunia na kuifanya; ndiye aliyeifanya imara; hakuiumba ukiwa, aliiumba ili ikaliwe na watu; Mimi ni Bwana, wala hapana mwingine.
For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens—He is God; He formed the earth and fashioned it; He established it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.
19
Sikusema kwa siri, katika mahali pa nchi ya giza; sikuwaambia wazao wa Yakobo; Nitafuteni bure; Mimi, Bwana, nasema haki; nanena mambo ya adili.
I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.
20
Jikusanyeni mje; na kukaribia pamoja, ninyi wa mataifa mliookoka; hawana maarifa wale wachukuao mti wa sanamu yao ya kuchonga; wamwombao mungu asiyeweza kuokoa.
Come, gather together, and draw near, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry idols of wood and pray to a god that cannot save.
21
Hubirini, toeni habari; naam, na wafanye mashauri pamoja; ni nani aliyeonyesha haya tangu zamani za kale? Ni nani aliyeyahubiri hapo zamani? Si mimi, Bwana? Wala hapana Mungu zaidi ya mimi; Mungu mwenye haki, mwokozi; hapana mwingine zaidi ya mimi.
Speak up and present your case—yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.
22
Niangalieni mimi, mkaokolewe, enyi ncha zote za dunia; maana mimi ni Mungu; hapana mwingine.
Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23
Kwa nafsi yangu nimeapa, neno hili limetoka kinywani mwangu katika haki, wala halitarudi, ya kwamba mbele zangu kila goti litapigwa, kila ulimi utaapa.
By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.
24
Mmoja ataniambia, Kwa Bwana, peke yake, iko haki na nguvu; naam, watu watamwendea yeye, na wote waliomkasirikia watatahayarika.
Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.
25
Katika Bwana wazao wote wa Israeli watapewa haki, na kutukuka.
In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.
