Koreshi, ambaye nimemshika mkono wake wa kuume
kutiisha mataifa mbele yake
na kuwavua wafalme silaha zao,
kufungua milango mbele yake
ili malango yasije yakafungwa:
245:2 Isa 40:4; Mao 2:9; Nah 3:13; Kut 23:20; Isa 13:2; Za 107:16; Yer 51:30Nitakwenda mbele yako
na kusawazisha milima;
nitavunjavunja malango ya shaba
na kukatakata mapingo ya chuma.
345:3 Kut 33:12; Isa 41:23; Yer 41:8; 2Fal 24:13; Yer 50:37; 51:13Nitakupa hazina za gizani,
mali zilizofichwa mahali pa siri,
ili upate kujua ya kwamba Mimi ndimi Bwana,
Mungu wa Israeli, akuitaye kwa jina lako.
445:4 Mdo 17:23; Isa 41:8-9; 14:1Kwa ajili ya Yakobo mtumishi wangu,
Israeli niliyemchagua,
nimekuita wewe kwa jina lako,
na kukupa jina la heshima,
ingawa wewe hunitambui.
545:5 Kum 32:12; Za 18:31, 39; Eze 30:24-25; Isa 44:8; 43:10Mimi ndimi Bwana, wala hakuna mwingine,
zaidi yangu hakuna Mungu.
Nitakutia nguvu,
ingawa wewe hujanitambua,
645:6 Za 113:3; Mal 1:11; Isa 14:13-14; Sef 2:15; Isa 43:5; 11:9ili kutoka mawio ya jua
mpaka machweo yake,
watu wapate kujua kwamba hakuna Mungu mwingine ila Mimi.
Mimi ndimi Bwana wala hakuna mwingine.
745:7 Mao 3:38; Amo 3:6; Kut 10:22; Isa 14:15; 31:2Mimi ninaumba nuru na kuhuluku giza,
ninaleta mafanikio na kusababisha maafa.
Mimi, Bwana, huyatenda haya yote.

mawingu na yaidondoshe.
Dunia na ifunguke sana,
wokovu na uchipuke,
haki na ikue pamoja nao.
Mimi, Bwana, ndiye niliyeiumba.

yeye ambaye ni kigae tu kati ya vigae juu ya ardhi.
Je, udongo wa kufinyangia humwambia mfinyanzi,
‘Unatengeneza nini wewe?’
Je, kazi yako husema,
‘Hana mikono’?
10Ole wake amwambiaye baba yake,
‘Umezaa nini?’
Au kumwambia mama yake,
‘Umezaa kitu gani?’
1145:11 Yer 31:9; Za 8:6; Isa 19:25; Za 149:2; Isa 51:13“Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana,
yeye Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli na Muumba wake:
Kuhusu mambo yatakayokuja,
je, unaniuliza habari za watoto wangu,
au kunipa amri kuhusu kazi za mikono yangu?
1245:12 Isa 42:5; Yer 27:5; Neh 9:6; Ay 38:32; Isa 48:13Mimi ndiye niliyeumba dunia
na kumuumba mwanadamu juu yake.
Mikono yangu mwenyewe ndiyo iliyozitanda mbingu,
nikayapanga majeshi yake yote ya angani.
1345:13 Rum 3:24; Isa 52:3; 2Nya 36:22; Isa 41:2; 1Fal 8:36; Za 26:12Mimi nitamwinua Koreshi katika haki yangu:
nitazinyoosha njia zake zote.
Yeye atajenga mji wangu upya,
na kuwaweka huru watu wangu walio uhamishoni,
lakini si kwa kulipiwa fedha wala kupewa zawadi,
asema Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.”

“Mazao ya Misri na bidhaa za Kushi,
nao wale Waseba warefu,
watakujia na kuwa wako,
watakujia wakijikokota nyuma yako,
watakujia wamefungwa minyororo.
Watasujudu mbele yako
wakikusihi na kusema,
‘Hakika Mungu yu pamoja nawe,
wala hakuna mwingine;
hakuna Mungu mwingine.’ ”
1545:15 Kum 31:17; Isa 8:17; Za 44:24; Isa 25:9; 1:15Hakika wewe u Mungu unayejificha,
Ee Mungu na Mwokozi wa Israeli.
1645:16 Za 35:4; Isa 1:29Wote watengenezao sanamu wataaibika na kutahayarika;
wataenda kutahayarika pamoja.
1745:17 Yer 23:6; Rum 11:26; Isa 26:4; Yer 33:16; Isa 12:2; Mwa 30:23; Isa 29:22Lakini Israeli ataokolewa na Bwana
kwa wokovu wa milele;
kamwe hutaaibika wala kutatahayarika,
milele yote.
1845:18 Mwa 1:2, 26; Isa 42:5; Kum 4:25Kwa kuwa hili ndilo asemalo Bwana,
yeye aliyeumba mbingu,
ndiye Mungu;
yeye aliyeifanya dunia na kuiumba,
yeye ndiye aliiwekea misingi imara,
hakuiumba ili iwe tupu,
bali aliiumba ikaliwe na viumbe vyake.
Anasema:
“Mimi ndimi Bwana,
wala hakuna mwingine.

kutoka mahali fulani katika nchi ya giza;
sijawaambia wazao wa Yakobo,
‘Nitafuteni bure.’
Mimi, Bwana, nasema kweli;
ninatangaza lililo sahihi.
2045:20 Yer 2:28; Isa 43:9; 44:19; Rum 1:22; Kum 32:37; Yer 10:5; Za 115:7“Kusanyikeni pamoja mje,

wale waombao miungu isiyoweza kuokoa.

wao na wafanye shauri pamoja.
Ni nani aliyetangulia kusema hili tangu zamani,
aliyetangaza tangu zamani za kale?
Je, haikuwa Mimi, Bwana?
Wala hapana Mungu mwingine
zaidi yangu mimi,
Mungu mwenye haki na Mwokozi;
hapana mwingine ila mimi.
2245:22 Zek 12:10; Hes 21:8-9; Mwa 49:10; Isa 11:9-12; 44:22; 2Nya 20:12“Nigeukieni mimi, nanyi mkaokolewe,
enyi miisho yote ya dunia;
kwa maana mimi ndimi Mungu,
wala hapana mwingine.
2345:23 Mwa 22:16; Ebr 6:13; Flp 2:10-11; Isa 14:24; Za 63:11; Kum 6:13Nimeapa kwa nafsi yangu,
kinywa changu kimenena katika uadilifu wote
neno ambalo halitatanguka:
Kila goti litapigwa mbele zangu,
kwangu mimi kila ulimi utaapa.
2445:24 Yer 33:16; Isa 41:11; Kum 33:29; Isa 40:26Watasema kuhusu mimi,
‘Katika Bwana peke yake
ndiko kuna haki na nguvu.’ ”
Wote ambao wamemkasirikia Mungu
watamjia yeye, nao watatahayarika.
2545:25 Isa 24:23; 41:16; 49:4Lakini katika Bwana wazao wote wa Israeli
wataonekana wenye haki na watashangilia.
