Hukumu Juu Ya Adui Za Israeli
1Neno:
9:1 Isa 17:1; Amo 1:5; Za 145:15Neno la Bwana liko kinyume na nchi ya Hadraki
na Dameski itakuwa mahali pa kupumzika,
kwa kuwa macho ya watu na ya kabila zote
za Israeli yako kwa Bwana,
29:2 Yer 49:23; Eze 28:1-19; Mwa 10:15; Amo 1:9; Oba 1:20pia juu ya Hamathi inayopakana nayo,
juu ya Tiro na Sidoni,
ingawa wana ujuzi mwingi sana.
39:3 Ay 27:16; Eze 28:4Tiro amejijengea ngome imara,
amelundika fedha kama mavumbi
na dhahabu kama taka za mitaani.
49:4 Isa 23:1, 11; Yer 25:22; Eze 26:3-5; 27:32-36; 28:18Lakini Bwana atamwondolea mali zake
na kuuangamiza uwezo wake wa baharini,
naye atateketezwa kwa moto.
59:5 Yer 47:5; Sef 2:5; Mdo 8:26Ashkeloni ataona hili na kuogopa;
Gaza atagaagaa kwa maumivu makali,
pia Ekroni, kwa sababu
matumaini yake yatanyauka.
Gaza atampoteza mfalme wake
na Ashkeloni ataachwa pweke.
69:6 Isa 14:30Wageni watakalia mji wa Ashdodi,
nami nitakatilia mbali kiburi cha Wafilisti.
79:7 Ay 25:2; Yoe 3:4; Sef 2:4; Yer 47:1Nitaondoa damu vinywani mwao,
chakula kile walichokatazwa kati ya meno yao.
Mabaki yao yatakuwa mali ya Mungu wetu,
nao watakuwa viongozi katika Yuda,
naye Ekroni atakuwa kama Wayebusi.
89:8 Isa 26:1; 52:1; 54:14; Zek 14:21; Yoe 3:17; Kum 33:27; Za 34:7; Kut 3:7Lakini nitailinda nyumba yangu
dhidi ya majeshi ya wanyangʼanyi.
Kamwe mdhalimu hatashambulia watu wangu tena,
kwa maana sasa ninawachunga.
Kuja Kwa Mfalme Wa Sayuni
99:9 Isa 62:11; 9:6-7; 43:3-11; 1Fal 1:39; Za 24:7; 149:2; Mik 4:8; Yer 23:5-6; Sef 3:14-15; Zek 2:10; Mwa 49:11; Mt 21:5; 1Fal 1:33; Yn 12:15; 1:49; Lk 19:38; Mdo 22:14; 1Pet 3:18Shangilia sana, ee Binti Sayuni!
Piga kelele, Binti Yerusalemu!
Tazama, Mfalme wako anakuja kwako,
ni mwenye haki, naye ana wokovu,
ni mpole, naye amepanda punda,
mwana-punda, mtoto wa punda.
109:10 Mik 4:3; 5:10; Hos 1:7; 2:18; Zek 10:4; Isa 2:4; Za 72:8; Isa 11:10; Efe 2:14; Kol 1:20-21; Za 2:8; Isa 9:6-7; Mik 5:4; Ufu 11:15Nitaondoa magari ya vita kutoka Efraimu
na farasi wa vita kutoka Yerusalemu,
nao upinde wa vita utavunjwa.
Atatangaza amani kwa mataifa.
Utawala wake utaenea kutoka bahari hadi bahari,
na kutoka Mto Frati hadi mwisho wa dunia.
119:11 Kut 24:8; Mt 26:28; Lk 22:20; Isa 10:4; 42:7; Yer 38:6; Isa 61:1Kwako wewe, kwa sababu ya damu ya Agano langu nawe,
nitawaacha huru wafungwa wako
watoke kwenye shimo lisilo na maji.
129:12 Yoe 3:16; Isa 40:2; Kum 21:17Rudieni ngome yenu, enyi wafungwa wa tumaini;
hata sasa ninatangaza kwamba
nitawarejesheeni maradufu.
139:13 2Sam 22:25; Isa 49:2; Yoe 3:6; Yer 51:20Nitampinda Yuda kama nipindavyo upinde wangu,
nitamfanya Efraimu mshale wangu.
Nitawainua wana wako, ee Sayuni,
dhidi ya wana wako, ee Uyunani,
na kukufanya kama upanga wa shujaa wa vita.
Bwana Atatokea
14Kisha Bwana atawatokea;
mshale wake utamulika
kama umeme wa radi.
Bwana Mwenyezi atapiga tarumbeta,
naye atatembea katika tufani za kusini,
159:15 Isa 31:5; 37:35; Zek 12:8; 10:7; 14:3, 20; Kut 27:2; Law 4:25na Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote atawalinda.
Wataangamiza na kushinda
kwa mawe ya kutupa kwa kombeo.
Watakunywa na kunguruma kama waliolewa mvinyo;
watajaa kama bakuli linalotumika kunyunyizia
kwenye pembe za madhabahu.
169:16 Isa 10:20; Yer 31:11; Eze 37:23; Mal 3:17; Isa 11:12Bwana Mungu wao atawaokoa siku hiyo
kama kundi la watu wake.
Watangʼara katika nchi yake
kama vito vya thamani kwenye taji.
17Jinsi gani watavutia na kuwa wazuri!
Nafaka itawastawisha vijana wanaume,
nayo divai mpya vijana wanawake.
Judgment on Israel’s enemies
1A prophecy:
The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak
and will come to rest on Damascus –
for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel
are on the Lord – 9:1 Or Damascus. / For the eye of the Lord is on all people, / as well as on the tribes of Israel,
2and on Hamath too, which borders on it,
and on Tyre and Sidon, though they are very skilful.
3Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
she has heaped up silver like dust,
and gold like the dirt of the streets.
4But the Lord will take away her possessions
and destroy her power on the sea,
and she will be consumed by fire.
5Ashkelon will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
6A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,
and I will put an end to the pride of the Philistines.
7I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God
and become a clan in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
8But I will encamp at my temple
to guard it against marauding forces.
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
for now I am keeping watch.
The coming of Zion’s king
9Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and victorious,
lowly and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
and the battle-bow will be broken.
He will proclaim peace to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River9:10 That is, the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
11As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you,
I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.
13I will bend Judah as I bend my bow
and fill it with Ephraim.
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,
and make you like a warrior’s sword.
The Lord will appear
14Then the Lord will appear over them;
his arrow will flash like lightning.
The Sovereign Lord will sound the trumpet;
he will march in the storms of the south,
15and the Lord Almighty will shield them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.
They will drink and roar as with wine;
they will be full like a bowl
used for sprinkling9:15 Or bowl, / like the corners of the altar.
16The Lord their God will save his people on that day
as a shepherd saves his flock.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.
17How attractive and beautiful they will be!
Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.
