Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ Gĩtuamba gĩa Kĩoneki: Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩ kĩĩ kĩragũthĩĩnia rĩu, tondũ andũ aku othe marahaica nyũmba igũrũ,
2 Thou that wast full of stir, a town of tumult, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
wee itũũra rĩiyũrĩte ngũĩ, o wee itũũra inene rĩa mbugĩrĩrio na ũrĩĩu? Andũ aku arĩa makuĩte matiũragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, kana magakuĩra mbaara-inĩ.
3 All thy rulers have fled together, they are taken prisoners without the bow: all that are found of thee are made prisoners together; they were fleeing far off.
Atongoria aku othe nĩmorĩte marĩ hamwe; maatahirwo o na hatarĩ mũguĩ ũikĩtio. Andũ aku othe arĩa maakorereirwo moohirwo hamwe, o acio mooraga thũ ĩrĩ o kũraya.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; let me weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Njeherera; reke ndĩre ngĩgirĩkaga. Ndũkagerie kũũhooreria igũrũ rĩa mwanangĩko ũrĩa ũkorete andũ akwa.”
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; [a day of] breaking down the wall, and of crying to the mountain:
Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, arĩ na mũthenya ũrĩa agaatũma ũtuĩke wa mbugĩrĩrio, na wa kũranganĩrĩria, o na wa kũguoyohia kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Kĩoneki. Mũthenya ũcio ũgaakorwo ũrĩ wa kũmomora thingo igwe thĩ, na wa gũkaĩra irĩma.
6 — Elam beareth the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovereth the shield.
Andũ a Elamu nĩmakuuĩte thiaka wa mĩguĩ, marĩ na ngaari cia ita na andũ mahaicĩte mbarathi; o nao andũ a Kiri macuurũragia ngo.
7 And it shall come to pass [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
Ituamba ciaku iria njega mũno ciyũrĩte ngaari cia ita, nao andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi maigĩtwo ihingo-inĩ cia itũũra inene;
8 And he uncovereth the covering of Judah: and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest;
naguo ũgitĩri wa Juda nĩweheretio. Mũthenya ũcio nĩmwacũthĩrĩirie indo cia mbaara iria ciarĩ Nyũmba-inĩ ya Ũnene ya Mũtitũ;
9 and ye have seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and ye have gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
mũkĩona atĩ thingo cia ũgitĩri cia Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi nĩciatharũkĩte kũndũ kũingĩ; na inyuĩ mũkĩhingĩrĩria maaĩ Karia ka Mũhuro.
10 and ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and have broken down the houses to fortify the wall;
Nĩmwatarire nyũmba kũu Jerusalemu, na mũgĩtharia nyũmba nĩguo muone mahiga ma gũcookereria rũthingo rũgĩe na hinya makĩria.
11 and ye have made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not had regard unto the maker thereof, neither have ye looked unto him that fashioned it long ago.
Nĩmwakire handũ ha kũhingĩrĩria maaĩ gatagatĩ ga thingo cierĩ, nĩgeetha maaĩ ma Karia ga Tene mathiiage ho, no mũtiigana kũrongooria Ũrĩa wagathondekire, kana mũrũmbũiye Ũrĩa watũmire kagĩe ho kuuma o tene.
12 And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩamwĩtire mũthenya ũcio nĩguo mũrĩre na mũgirĩke, na mwenjwo njuĩrĩ cianyu na mwĩhumbe nguo cia ikũnia.
13 and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: — Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ na gĩkeno na ũrĩĩu, mũrathĩnja ngʼombe na ngʼondu, mũkĩrĩĩaga nyama na mũkĩnyuuaga ndibei! Mũgakiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũrĩe na tũnyue, nĩgũkorwo rũciũ nĩtũgaakua!”
14 And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩanguũrĩirie ũhoro ũyũ ndĩmũthikĩrĩirie, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩhia rĩrĩ mũtikahoroherio nginya mũgaakua,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga.
15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts: Go, get thee in unto this steward, unto Shebna, who is over the house, [and say, ]
Na rĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Thiĩ kũrĩ Shebina, ũrĩa mũramati na mũrũgamĩrĩri wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ:
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth out his sepulchre on high, cutting out in the rock a habitation for himself?
Ũreka atĩa gũkũ na nũũ ũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie kwĩyenjera mbĩrĩra gũkũ, ũgetemera mbĩrĩra handũ hatũũgĩru, na ũkeyacũhĩria harĩa ũkaahurũkio rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga?
17 Behold, Jehovah will hurl thee with the force of a mighty man, and will cover thee entirely.
“Wĩhũũge, tondũ Jehova akiriĩ gũkũnyiita akũrũmĩtie, acooke akũnyugute, wee mũndũ ũyũ ũrĩ hinya.
18 Rolling thee up completely, he will roll thee as a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, O shame of thy lord's house!
Nĩagagũkũnja akũrũmie o ta mũbira, agũikie bũrũri mwariĩ. Kũu nĩkuo ũgaakuĩra, na nokuo ngaari ciaku cia ita iria irĩ riiri igaikara: wee ũconorithagia nyũmba ya mwathi waku!
19 And I will drive thee from thine office, and from thy station will I pull thee down.
Nĩngakũingata wehere wĩra-inĩ waku na ũtunywo wĩra ũcio ũrũgamĩrĩire.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkijah;
“Mũthenya ũcio nĩngeeta ndungata yakwa, Eliakimu mũrũ wa Hilikia.
21 and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Nĩngamũhumba nguo yaku ĩrĩa ndaaya na ndĩmũhotore mũcibi waku, na ndĩmũnengere wathani waku. Nĩagatuĩka ithe wa arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu o na wa nyũmba ya Juda.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Kĩhingũro kĩa nyũmba ya Daudi ngaakĩigĩrĩra kĩande-inĩ gĩake; na rĩrĩ, kĩrĩa gĩothe akaahingũra gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũhinga, na kĩrĩa gĩothe akaahinga gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũhingũra.
23 And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house:
Ngaamuoherera handũ harũmu aikare ho ta higĩ hũũrĩrĩre; atuĩke gĩtĩ gĩa gĩtĩĩo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ithe.
24 and they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all the small vessels, as well the vessels of cups as all the vessels of flagons.
Nĩwe ũgaacookererwo nĩ riiri wothe wa nyũmba ya ithe ta ũcuurĩtio harĩ we: ciana ciake na iria ikeyongerera thĩinĩ wa ciana icio, o indo ciothe ciayo iria cionekaga ta itarĩ kĩene, kuuma mbakũri nginya mĩthemba yothe ya ndigithũ.”
25 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for Jehovah hath spoken.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio higĩ ĩrĩa thecerere handũ harũmu nĩĩkenyenya; nĩĩkamunyũka ĩgwe, na indo iria njuurie harĩ yo nĩikaharagana.” Jehova nĩwe warĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
