1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
Kwa ajili ya Sayuni sitanyamaza, na kwa ajili ya Yerusalemu sitatulia, hata haki yake itakapotokea kama mwangaza, na wokovu wake kama taa iwakayo.
2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
Na mataifa wataiona haki yako, na wafalme wote watauona utukufu wako; nawe utaitwa jina jipya, litakalotajwa na kinywa cha Bwana.
3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Nawe utakuwa taji ya uzuri katika mkono wa Bwana, na kilemba cha kifalme mkononi mwa Mungu wako.
4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
Hutaitwa tena Aliyeachwa, wala nchi yako haitaitwa tena, Ukiwa; bali utaitwa Hefsiba; na nchi yako Beula; kwa kuwa Bwana anakufurahia, na nchi yako itaolewa.
5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
Maana kama vile kijana amwoavyo mwanamwali, ndivyo wana wako watakavyokuoa wewe; na kama vile bwana arusi amfurahiavyo bibi arusi, ndivyo Mungu wako atakavyokufurahia wewe.
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
Nimeweka walinzi juu ya kuta zako, Ee Yerusalemu; hawatanyamaza mchana wala usiku; ninyi wenye kumkumbusha Bwana, msiwe na kimya;
7 and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
wala msimwache akae kimya, mpaka atakapoufanya imara Yerusalemu, na kuufanya kuwa sifa duniani.
8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
Bwana ameapa kwa mkono wake wa kuume, na kwa mkono wa nguvu zake, Hakika sitawapa adui zako nafaka yako tena kuwa chakula chao; wala wageni hawatakunywa divai yako, uliyoifanyia kazi.
9 but they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
Lakini walioivuna, ndio watakaoila, na kumhimidi Bwana; na walioichuma, ndio watakaoinywa, ndani ya nyua za patakatifu pangu.
10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
Piteni, piteni, katika malango; Itengenezeni njia ya watu; Tutieni, tutieni barabara; toeni mawe yake; Twekeni bendera kwa ajili ya kabila za watu.
11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Tazama, Bwana ametangaza habari mpaka mwisho wa dunia, Mwambieni binti Sayuni, Tazama, wokovu wako unakuja; Tazama, thawabu yake i pamoja naye, Na malipo yake yako mbele zake.
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Nao watawaita, Watu watakatifu, Waliokombolewa na Bwana; Nawe utaitwa, Aliyetafutwa, Mji usioachwa.
