Songs of Deliverance
1 O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Ee Bwana, wewe u Mungu wangu; Nitakutukuza na kulihimidi jina lako; Kwa kuwa umetenda mambo ya ajabu, Mashauri ya kale, kwa uaminifu na kweli.
2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
Kwa sababu umefanya mji kuwa ni chungu; Mji wenye boma kuwa ni magofu; Jumba la wageni kuwa si mji; Hautajengwa tena milele.
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
Kwa hiyo watu walio hodari watakutukuza, Mji wa mataifa watishao utakuogopa.
4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
Maana umekuwa ngome ya maskini, Ngome ya mhitaji katika dhiki yake, Mahali pa kukimbilia wakati wa tufani, Kivuli wakati wa hari; Wakati uvumapo upepo wa watu watishao, Kama dhoruba ipigayo ukuta.
5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
Kama vile hari katika mahali pakavu Utaushusha mshindo wa wageni; Kama ilivyo hari kwa kivuli cha wingu, Wimbo wa hao watishao utashushwa.
6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
Na katika mlima huu Bwana wa majeshi atawafanyia mataifa yote karamu ya vitu vinono, karamu ya divai iliyokaa juu ya urojorojo wake, karamu ya vinono vilivyojaa mafuta, karamu ya divai iliyokaa juu ya urojorojo wake, iliyochujwa sana.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
Naye katika mlima huu atauharibu uso wa sitara iliyowekwa juu ya watu wote, na utaji ule uliotandwa juu ya mataifa yote.
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it .
Amemeza mauti hata milele; na Bwana MUNGU atafuta machozi katika nyuso zote; na aibu ya watu wake ataiondoa katika ulimwengu wote; maana Bwana amenena hayo.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Katika siku hiyo watasema, Tazama, huyu ndiye Mungu wetu, Ndiye tuliyemngoja atusaidie; Huyu ndiye Bwana tuliyemngoja, Na tushangilie na kuufurahia wokovu wake.
10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
Kwa maana mkono wa Bwana utatulia katika mlima huu, na Moabu atakanyagwa chini huko aliko, kama vile majani makavu yakanyagwavyo katika maji ya jaa.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
Naye atanyosha mikono yake katikati yake, kama vile aogeleaye anyoshavyo mikono yake ili aogelee, naye atashusha kiburi chake, pamoja na hila za mikono yake.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Na boma la ngome ya kuta zako ameliinamisha, na kulilaza chini, na kulitupa chini hata mavumbini.
