Isaiah 30
1 “Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ciana iria nemi irĩ na haaro-ĩ! o icio ihingagia mĩbango ĩtarĩ yakwa, na igathondeka ngwatanĩro, no ti na Roho wakwa, igakĩiganĩrĩra mehia igũrũ rĩa mehia;
2 They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
o icio ciikũrũkaga igathiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri itaahoete kĩrĩra; icio ciethaga ũteithio wa kũgitĩrwo nĩ Firaũni, na ikehoka kĩĩruru kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri gĩtuĩke rĩũrĩro rĩacio.
3 But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.
No ũgitĩri ũcio wa Firaũni ũgaatuĩka wa kũmũconorithia, na kwĩhoka kĩĩruru kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri gũkaamũrehera thoni.
4 For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
O na akorwo marĩ na anene kũu Zoani, na mabarũthi mao nĩmakinyĩte Hanesi-rĩ,
5 everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”
andũ othe nĩmagaconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa andũ matangĩmaguna na ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, arĩa matangĩmateithia kana mamagune, tiga o kũmaconorithia na kũmarehera thoni.”
6 This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ nyamũ cia Negevu: Mabarũthi mao makuuaga ũtonga wao na ndigiri, na igĩĩna ciao magaaciigĩrĩra maguku-inĩ ma ngamĩĩra, magatuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa thĩĩna na wa mĩnyamaro, bũrũri ũrĩ mĩrũũthi ya njamba na ya nga, na nduĩra na nyoka iria ĩticũkaga, macitware bũrũri wa andũ matangĩmaguna o na atĩa.
7 Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
Nĩgũkorwo ũteithio wa Misiri nĩ wa tũhũ na ndũrĩ kĩguni. Nĩ ũndũ bũrũri ũcio ndĩwĩtĩte Rahabu ũrĩa Ũtarĩ-ũndũ-Ekaga.
8 Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩu thiĩ ũmakururĩre ũhoro ũyũ kĩbaũ-inĩ, na ũwandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, nĩgeetha ũgaatuĩka ũira wa gũtũũra matukũ marĩa magooka.
9 These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
Nĩgũkorwo aya nĩ andũ aremi na nĩ ciana itũire iheenanagia, ciana itendaga gũthikĩrĩria ũtaaro wa Jehova.
10 They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
Nacio ciĩraga ooni-maũndũ atĩrĩ, “Mũtigatuonere maũndũ mangĩ!” na ikeera anabii atĩrĩ, “Tigai gũtũrathĩra maũndũ ma ũhoro wa ma! Twĩragei maũndũ marĩa mangĩtũkenia, na mũtũrathagĩre maũndũ ma maheeni.
11 Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
Eherai njĩra-inĩ ĩno, muume gacĩra-inĩ gaka, na mũtige gũtwĩra ũhoro wa Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli!”
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tondũ nĩmũregete ndũmĩrĩri ĩno, mũkehoka ũhinyanĩrĩria, na mũgatua maheeni kĩndũ gĩa gwĩtiiranagia nakĩo,
13 this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!
rĩhia rĩĩrĩ rĩgũtuĩka ta rũthingo rũraihu na igũrũ, rũrĩ na mwatũka ũrĩa ũikaraga o ũkĩaramaga, rũrĩa rũmomokaga o narua, o rĩmwe.
14 It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”
Rũkoinĩkanga tũcunjĩ ta nyũngũ, rũthethereke rũtegũcaĩrwo, ũndũ hakaaga gacunjĩ o na kamwe gakoneka kangĩruta mwaki riiko, kana kangĩtaha maaĩ kuuma gĩthima-inĩ.”
15 For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence— but you were not willing.”
Mwathani Jehova Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Njĩra ĩrĩa ĩngĩtũma mũhonoke no ya kwĩrira na gũikara mũtegwĩtanga, naguo hinya ũrĩa mũkaagĩa naguo ũkooneka nĩ ũndũ wa gũikara mũhooreire na kwĩhoka, no macio mothe nĩmũmaregete.
16 “No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
Mwoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, nĩtũkoora tũhaicĩte mbarathi.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũgakĩũra! Ningĩ mũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Tũkaahaica mbarathi iria irĩ ihenya mũno tũũre!’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa makaamũtengʼeria magaakorwo marĩ na ihenya mũno o nao!
17 A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
Andũ ngiri makoora nĩ kũmakio nĩ mũndũ ũmwe; na inyuĩ inyuothe mũũre nĩ kũmakio nĩ andũ atano, nginya mũtigwo mũhaana ta mũtĩ wa bendera ũrĩ kĩrĩma-igũrũ, o na ta bendera ĩrĩ karĩma-igũrũ.”
18 Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
O na gũtariĩ ũguo-rĩ, Jehova eriragĩria kũmũtuga; arahũkaga nĩguo amũiguĩre tha. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ Ngai ũtuanagĩra ciira na kĩhooto. Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa othe mamwetagĩrĩra.
19 O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.
Inyuĩ andũ a Zayuni, o inyuĩ mũtũũraga Jerusalemu, mũtigacooka kũrĩra. Hĩ, kaĩ nĩakamũtuga rĩrĩa mũkaamũkaĩra amũteithie-ĩ! Na rĩrĩa akaamũigua nĩakamwĩtĩka.
20 The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.
O na gũtuĩka Mwathani nĩamũheaga irio cia thĩĩna na maaĩ ma mĩnyamaro-rĩ, arutani anyu matigacooka kũhithwo rĩngĩ; mũkaameyonera na maitho manyu.
21 And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”
O na mũngĩkagarũrũka na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho, matũ manyu nĩmakaiguaga mũgambo thuutha wanyu ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo njĩra; gererai yo.”
22 So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
Ningĩ nĩmũgathaahia mĩhianano yanyu ya kũhooywo ĩrĩa ĩgemetio na betha igũrũ, na mĩhiano yanyu ĩrĩa ĩgemetio na thahabu igũrũ; mũkaamĩte ta taama ũrĩ thaahu wa mũndũ-wa-nja hĩndĩ ya mweri, mũmĩĩre atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi na kũu muume haha!”
23 Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.
Ningĩ nĩakamuurĩria mbura nĩ ũndũ wa mbeũ iria mũhaandĩte mĩgũnda, nacio irio iria ikoima mĩgũnda ĩyo igaakorwo irĩ njega na ikaingĩha. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngʼombe cianyu ikaarĩithagio kũndũ kũrĩ ũrĩithio mwariĩ mũno.
24 The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
Ndegwa na ndigiri iria ikaarĩmaga mĩgũnda ikaarĩĩaga mahuti mathuuranĩre na irio huhe, ciaraganĩtio na hũũma na iciko cia tĩĩri.
25 And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Mũthenya ũcio gũkooraganwo mũno, rĩrĩa mĩthiringo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ ĩkaamomoka, tũrũũĩ nĩtũgaatherera kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ o gĩothe kĩraihu na karĩma o gothe gatũũgĩru.
26 The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.
Naguo mweri ũkaara ta riũa, na ũtheri wa riũa ũnenehio maita mũgwanja, ũhaane ta ũtheri wa mĩthenya mũgwanja mĩgima, rĩrĩa Jehova akooha nguraro cia andũ ake na amahonie ironda iria aamatiihirie.
27 Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova rĩrooka riumĩte kũraya, rĩrĩ na marakara mahiũ na matu mathimbu ma ndogo; nacio iromo ciake ciyũrĩtwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ, na rũrĩmĩ rwake nĩ mwaki ũniinanaga.
28 His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.
Mĩhũmũ yake nĩ ta rũũĩ rũratherera na hinya rũkambata rũgakinya o nginya ngingo. Athũngũthagia ndũrĩrĩ gĩcungi-inĩ kĩa mwanangĩko; ekagĩra andũ matamu kanua nĩgeetha amahĩtithie.
29 You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
Na inyuĩ nĩmũkaina, ta ũrĩa mũinaga ũtukũ ũrĩa mũkũngũyagĩra gĩathĩ kĩrĩa kĩamũre; nacio ngoro cianyu nĩigakena ta ũrĩa andũ makenaga makĩambata kĩrĩma kĩa Jehova makĩhuhaga mĩtũrirũ, o ũcio Rwaro-rwa-Ihiga rwa Isiraeli.
30 And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.
Jehova nĩagatũma mũgambo wake ũrĩ riiri ũiguuo nĩ andũ, na nĩagatũma mone guoko gwake gũgĩikũrũka, arĩ na marakara maingĩ na mwaki wa kũniinana, hamwe na mbura ya marurumĩ, na kĩhuhũkanio, na mbura ya mbembe.
31 For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.
Mũgambo wa Jehova nĩũgathethera Ashuri; nĩakamagũtha na rũthanju rwake, amaniine magũe.
32 And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.
Igũtha o rĩothe rĩrĩa Jehova akaamagũtha na rũthanju rwake rwa kũherithania-rĩ, rĩkaahaana ta rwĩmbo rũrainwo na tũhembe na inanda cia mũgeeto, akĩrũa mbaara nao ategũtigithĩria kũmahũũra na guoko gwake.
33 For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.
Tofeti gũtũũrĩĩte kũhaarĩirio; gũthondeketwo nĩ ũndũ wa mũthamaki. Irima rĩakuo rĩa mwaki nĩirikie na rĩkaaramio, narĩo rĩrĩ na mwaki mũingĩ na ngũ nyingĩ, nayo mĩhũmũ ya Jehova nĩyo ĩraakia mwaki ũcio, ĩhaana ta rũũĩ rwa ũbiriti.
