Isaya 44:15
Isaiah 44:15 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Ni kuni ya binadamu: yeye huchukua baadhi yake na kuota moto, huwasha moto na kuoka mkate. Lakini pia huutumia kumtengeneza mungu na akamwabudu, huitengeneza sanamu na kuisujudia.
Isaiah 44:15 in English
Isaiah 44:15 · Berean Standard Bible
It serves as fuel for man. He takes some of it to warm himself, and he kindles a fire and bakes his bread; he even fashions it into a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.
Context
13Seremala hupima kwa kutumia kamba
na huuchora mstari kwa kalamu;
huchonga kwa patasi
na kutia alama kwa bikari.
Huifanyiza katika umbo la binadamu,
la mwanadamu katika utukufu wake wote,
ili iweze kukaa katika sehemu yake ya ibada ya miungu. 14Hukata miti ya mierezi,
huchukua mtiriza au mwaloni.
Huuacha ukue miongoni mwa miti ya msituni,
au hupanda msunobari, nayo mvua huufanya ukue. 15Ni kuni ya binadamu:
yeye huchukua baadhi yake na kuota moto,
huwasha moto na kuoka mkate.
Lakini pia huutumia kumtengeneza mungu na akamwabudu,
huitengeneza sanamu na kuisujudia. 16Sehemu ya kuni huziweka motoni,
akapikia chakula chake,
hubanika nyama na kula hadi ashibe.
Huota moto na kusema,
“Aha! Ninahisi joto, ninaona moto.” 17Mabaki yake hutengeneza mungu, sanamu yake;
yeye huisujudia na kuiabudu.
Huiomba na kusema,
“Niokoe; wewe ni mungu wangu.”
