English Swahili. Isaiah 49:15-17,21,24-26
[15]Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
Je! Mwanamke aweza kumsahau mtoto wake anyonyaye, hata asimhurumie mwana wa tumbo lake? Naam, hawa waweza kusahau, lakini mimi sitakusahau wewe.
[16]Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.
Tazama, nimekuchora katika vitanga vya mikono yangu; kuta zako ziko mbele zangu daima.
[17]Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.
Watoto wako wafanya haraka, hao wakuharibuo, nao waliokufanya ukiwa, watatoka kwako.
[21]Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
Ndipo utasema moyoni mwako, Ni nani aliyenizalia watoto hawa, na mimi nimefiwa na watoto wangu, nami ni peke yangu, nimehamishwa, ninatanga-tanga huko na huku? Tena ni nani aliyewalea hawa? Tazama, naliachwa peke yangu; hawa je! Walikuwa wapi?
[24]Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
Je! Aliye hodari aweza kunyang’anywa mateka yake, au jeshi lao waliofungwa halali wataokoka?
[25]But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
Naam, BWANA asema hivi, Hata jeshi la wafungwa wake aliye hodari watapokonywa mikononi mwake, na mateka yake aliye jabari wataokoka; kwa maana nitateta na yeye atetaye nawe, nami nitawaletea wana wako wokovu.
[26]And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
Na hao wanaokuonea nitawalisha nyama yao wenyewe, nao watalewa kwa kuinywa damu yao wenyewe, k**a kwa mvinyo mpya; na wote wenye mwili watajua ya kuwa mimi, BWANA, ni mwokozi wako, na Mkombozi wako ni Mwenye enzi wa Yakobo.
