1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Amka, amka, jivike nguvu zako, Ee Sayuni; Jivike mavazi yako mazuri, Ee Yerusalemu, mji mtakatifu; Kwa maana tokea sasa hataingia ndani yako Asiyetahiriwa, wala aliye najisi.
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
Jikung'ute mavumbi; uondoke, Uketi, Ee Yerusalemu; Jifungulie vifungo vya shingo yako, Ee binti Sayuni uliyefungwa.
3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Maana Bwana asema hivi, Mliuzwa bure; nanyi mtakombolewa bila fedha.
4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Maana Bwana MUNGU asema hivi, Watu wangu hapo kwanza walishuka Misri ili wakae huko hali ya ugeni; na Mwashuri akawaonea bila sababu.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
Basi sasa, nafanya nini hapa, asema Bwana, ikiwa watu wangu wamechukuliwa bure? Hao wanaowatawala wanapiga yowe, asema Bwana, na jina langu linatukanwa daima mchana kutwa.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
Kwa hiyo watu wangu watalijua jina langu kwa hiyo watajua siku ile ya kuwa mimi ndimi ninenaye; tazama ni mimi.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Jinsi ilivyo mizuri juu ya milima Miguu yake aletaye habari njema, Yeye aitangazaye amani, Aletaye habari njema ya mambo mema, Yeye autangazaye wokovu, Auambiaye Sayuni, Mungu wako anamiliki!
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
Sauti ya walinzi wako! Wanapaza sauti zao, wanaimba pamoja; Maana wataona jicho kwa jicho, Jinsi Bwana arejeavyo Sayuni.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Pigeni kelele za furaha, imbeni pamoja, Enyi mahali pa Yerusalemu palipokuwa ukiwa; Kwa kuwa Bwana amewafariji watu wake, Ameukomboa Yerusalemu.
10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Bwana ameweka wazi mkono wake mtakatifu Machoni pa mataifa yote; Na ncha zote za dunia Zitauona wokovu wa Mungu wetu.
11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing ; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
Nendeni zenu, nendeni zenu, tokeni huko, msiguse kitu kichafu; tokeni kati yake; iweni safi ninyi mnaochukua vyombo vya Bwana.
12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
Maana hamtatoka kwa haraka, wala hamtakwenda kwa kukimbia, kwa sababu Bwana atawatangulia; na Mungu wa Israeli atawafuata nyuma; awalinde.
The Suffering Servant
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
Tazama, mtumishi wangu atatenda kwa busara, atatukuzwa, na kuinuliwa juu, naye atakuwa juu sana.
14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Kama vile wengi walivyokustaajabia, (uso wake ulikuwa umeharibiwa sana zaidi ya mtu ye yote, na umbo lake zaidi ya wanadamu),
15 so shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
ndivyo atakavyowasitusha mataifa mengi; wafalme watamfumbia vinywa vyao; maana mambo wasiyoambiwa watayaona; na mambo wasiyoyasikia watayafahamu.
