Isaiah 54
1 Exult, thou barren, that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith Jehovah.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũndũ-wa-nja thaata ina rwĩmbo, o wee ũtarĩ waciara mwana; ambĩrĩria kũina rwĩmbo, na wanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena, wee ũtarĩ wanyiitwo nĩ ruo rwa gũciara, tondũ ciana cia mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa ũtiganĩirio nĩ nyingĩ, gũkĩra cia ũrĩa ũrĩ na mũthuuri,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
“Wĩyaramĩrie handũ ha hema yaku, na ũtambũrũkie mataama ma hema yaku maarame, maguucie ũtekũmacaaĩra; raihia mĩkanda ya hema yaku, nacio higĩ ciayo ũcikiindĩre irũme biũ.
3 For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess nations, and they shall make desolate cities to be inhabited.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩũgatheerema mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho; njiaro ciaku nĩikegwatĩra mabũrũri ma ndũrĩrĩ, na itũũre matũũra manene ma cio marĩa matigĩtwo matarĩ andũ.
4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
“Ndũkanetigĩre; tondũ ndũgaaconoka. O na ndũkanaigue guoya wa gũconorithio; nĩgũkorwo ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũkaanyararithio. Nĩukariganĩrwo nĩ thoni cia ũnini waku, na ndũgacooka kũririkana rĩngĩ ũrĩa wananyararwo nĩgũkorwo ũrĩ wa ndigwa.
5 For thy Maker is thy husband: Jehovah of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa Mũũmbi waku nĩwe mũthuuri waku, nake etagwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli nĩwe Mũkũũri waku; nake etagwo Ngai mwene thĩ yothe.
6 For Jehovah hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and as a wife of youth, that hath been refused, saith thy God.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagagwĩta ũcooke, ũhaana ta mũtumia ũtiganĩirio, na mũthĩĩnĩku ngoro, mũtumia wahikire arĩ mũnini, agacooka agateo,” ũguo nĩguo Ngai waku ekuuga.
7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
“Nĩgũkorwo ndĩragũtiganĩirie o gwa kahinda kanini, no nĩngũgũcookia ndĩ na tha nyingĩ mũno.
8 In the outpouring of wrath have I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting loving-kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer.
Hĩndĩ ya marakara maingĩ nĩndakũhithire ũthiũ wakwa gwa kahinda kanini, no nĩ ũndũ wa ũtugi ũrĩa ũtathiraga, nĩngakũiguĩra tha,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mũkũũri waku ekuuga.
9 For this is [as] the waters of Noah unto me, since I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth: so have I sworn that I will no more be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
“Kũrĩ niĩ matukũ maya no ta marĩa ma hĩndĩ ya Nuhu, rĩrĩa ndehĩtire ngiuga atĩ maaĩ ta macio ma hĩndĩ ya Nuhu matigacooka kũiyũra thĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩu nĩndĩhĩtĩte atĩ ndigacooka kũrakara nĩwe o na kana ngũkũũme rĩngĩ.
10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving-kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah, that hath mercy on thee.
Nĩgũkorwo irĩma no ithingithio, natuo tũrĩma tweherio, no rĩrĩ, wendo wakwa ũrĩa ũtathiraga ũrĩa ngwendete naguo-rĩ, ndũkeenyenyio, o na kana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa gĩa thayũ kĩeherio harĩwe,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ũrĩa ũkũiguagĩra tha ekuuga.
11 [Thou] afflicted, tossed with tempest, not comforted! Behold, I will set thy stones in antimony, and lay thy foundations with sapphires;
“Atĩrĩrĩ, wee itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene inyamarie, o wee ũthukathukĩtwo nĩ ihuhũkanio, na ũkaaga wa gũkũhooreria, nĩngagwaka na mahiga ma rangi wa mĩthemba mĩingĩ, nayo mĩthingi yaku ndĩmĩake na mahiga ma yakuti.
12 and I will make thy battlements of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of precious stones.
Nĩngathondeka ndirica ciaku na mahiga mega matune, na ihingo ciaku ndĩcithondeke na mahiga ma goro me kũhenia, nacio thingo ciaku ciothe ikorwo irĩ cia mahiga ma goro mũno.
13 And all thy children [shall be] taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Ciana ciaku ciothe nĩikarutagwo ũhoro nĩ Jehova, naguo thayũ wa ciana icio ciaku nĩũkaingĩha mũno.
14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
Nĩũgaikara ta ũhaandĩtwo wega ũhoro-inĩ wa ũthingu: Ũnyamarania nĩũgakũraihĩrĩria; ndũgakorwo ũrĩ na ũndũ ũngĩtũma wĩtigĩre. Nakĩo kĩmako nĩgĩgakũraihĩrĩria; gĩtigagũkuhĩrĩria.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by me: whosoever gathereth together against thee shall fall because of thee.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ mangĩgaagũtharĩkĩra-rĩ, niĩ ndigakorwo ũhoro-inĩ ũcio; na mũndũ o wothe ũgaagũtharĩkĩra-rĩ, ũcio nĩ kwĩneana akeeneana harĩwe.
16 Behold, it is I who have created the smith that bloweth in the fire of coal, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to ravage.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, niĩ nĩ niĩ ndoombire mũturi, ũrĩa ũhurutagĩra mwaki wa makara, na agatura kĩndũ kĩa mbaara o ũrĩa kĩagĩrĩire wĩra-inĩ wakĩo. O na mũndũ ũrĩa wanangaga akaniinana-rĩ, nĩ niĩ ndĩmũmbĩte;
17 No weapon that is prepared against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah; and their righteousness is of me, saith Jehovah.
na gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩa mbaara gĩthondeketwo gĩa gũgũũkĩrĩra gĩkaagaacĩra wĩra-inĩ wakĩo, na nĩũkahoota mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaaria ciugo cia gũgũthitanga. Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo igai rĩa ndungata cia Jehova, o naguo ũhoro wacio wa gũtuuo thingu uumaga harĩ niĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
