A Day of Judgement
1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Ni nani huyu atokaye Edomu, Mwenye mavazi ya kutiwa damu kutoka Bosra? Huyu aliye na nguo za fahari, Anayekwenda katika ukuu wa uweza wake?
2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
Kwani mavazi yako kuwa mekundu, Na nguo zako kama za mtu akanyagaye zabibu?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
Nalikanyaga shinikizoni peke yangu; Wala katika watu hakuwapo mtu pamoja nami; Naam, naliwakanyaga kwa hasira yangu, Naliwaponda kwa ghadhabu yangu; Na mavazi yangu yametiwa madoa kwa damu yao, Nami nimezichafua nguo zangu zote.
4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
Maana siku ya kisasi ilikuwamo moyoni mwangu, Na mwaka wao niliowakomboa umewadia.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
Nikatazama, wala hakuna wa kusaidia; Nikashangaa kwa kuwa hakuna mwenye kutegemeza; Basi, mkono wangu mwenyewe uliniletea wokovu, Ghadhabu yangu ndiyo iliyonitegemeza.
6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
Nikazikanyaga kabila za watu kwa hasira yangu, Nikawalevya kwa ghadhabu yangu, Nami nikaimwaga damu yao chini.
7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
Nitautaja wema wa Bwana, sifa za Bwana kwa yote aliyotukirimia Bwana; na wingi wa wema wake kwa nyumba ya Israeli, aliowakirimia kwa rehema zake, na kwa wingi wa wema wake.
8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
Maana alisema, Hakika ndio watu wangu hawa, wana wasio na hila; akawa Mwokozi wao.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
Katika mateso yao yote yeye aliteswa, na malaika wa uso wake akawaokoa; kwa mapenzi yake, na huruma zake, aliwakomboa mwenyewe; akawainua, akawachukua siku zote za kale.
10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
Lakini wakaasi, wakamhuzunisha Roho yake Mtakatifu; kwa hiyo akawageukia, akawa adui, akapigana nao.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying , Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
Ndipo alipozikumbuka siku za kale, za Musa, na watu wake, akisema, Yuko wapi yeye aliyewapandisha toka baharini pamoja na wachungaji wa kundi lake? Yuko wapi yeye aliyetia kati yao Roho yake Mtakatifu?
12 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
Aliyewaongoza kwa mkono wake mtukufu, kwa mkono wa kuume wa Musa? Aliyeyatenga maji mbele yao, ili ajifanyie jina la milele?
13 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
Aliyewaongoza vilindini, kama farasi jangwani, wasijikwae?
14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
Kama ng'ombe washukao bondeni, Roho ya Bwana akawastarehesha; ndivyo ulivyowaongoza watu wako, ili ujifanyie jina lenye utukufu.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
Tazama toka mbinguni, ukaone toka makao ya utukufu wako na fahari yako; uko wapi wivu wako, na uweza wako? Shauku ya moyo wako, na huruma zako zimezuiliwa kwangu.
16 Doubtless thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our Father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.
Maana wewe ndiwe Baba yetu, ijapokuwa Ibrahimu hatujui, wala Israeli hatukiri; wewe, Bwana, ndiwe Baba yetu, mkombozi wetu tangu milele ndilo jina lako.
17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
Ee Bwana, mbona umetukosesha njia zako, ukatufanyiza kuwa na mioyo migumu hata tusikuogope? Urudi kwa ajili ya watumishi wako, kabila za urithi wako.
18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Watu wako watakatifu waliumiliki kwa kitambo tu; adui zetu wamepakanyaga patakatifu pako.
19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
Tumekuwa kama watu usiowamiliki kamwe; kama watu wasioitwa kwa Jina lako.
