Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come ye, buy, and eat: yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price!
“Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mũnyootiĩ-rĩ, ũkaai mũnyue maaĩ; na inyuĩ mũtarĩ na mbeeca-rĩ, ũkaai mũgũre irio, mũrĩe! Ũkaai, mũgũre ndibei na iria mũtarĩ na mbeeca mũkũruta, na hatarĩ na thogora.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũtũmĩre mbeeca harĩ irio gũtarĩ, o na mũnoge mũkĩrutĩra wĩra kĩndũ gĩtangĩmũhũũnia? Thikĩrĩriai na mũnjigue, nĩguo mũrĩĩage indo iria njega, nacio ngoro cianyu nĩirĩkenagĩra irio iria njega mũno.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the sure mercies of David.
Tegai matũ mũthikĩrĩrie, na mũũke kũrĩ niĩ; njiguai nĩgeetha mũtũũre muoyo. Na niĩ nĩngarĩĩkanĩra na inyuĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene, arĩ wendo wakwa wa kwĩhokeka ũrĩa nderĩire Daudi.
4 Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the peoples, a prince and commander to the peoples.
Atĩrĩrĩ ũcio nĩndĩmũtuĩte mũira kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, na ngamũtua mũtongoria na mũnene wa ndũrĩrĩ.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation thou knowest not, and a nation [that] knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
Ti-itherũ nĩũgeeta ndũrĩrĩ iria ũtooĩ, nacio ndũrĩrĩ iria itakũũĩ itengʼere ciũke kũrĩ we, nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Ngai waku, o we Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo nĩakũhumbĩte ũkengu mũnene.”
6 Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.
Mathaai Jehova hĩndĩ ĩrĩa angĩoneka; mũkaĩrei hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arĩ hakuhĩ.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu nĩatigane na mĩthiĩre yake, nake mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ mũthingu atigane na meciiria make mooru. Nĩacookerere Jehova, na nĩekũmũiguĩra tha, na acookerere Ngai witũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩakĩragĩrĩria kũrekanĩra.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah.
“Nĩgũkorwo meciiria makwa timo meciiria manyu, o na kana mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩgatuĩka ta mĩthiĩre yakwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
“O ta ũrĩa matu maraihanĩrĩirie na thĩ, ũguo noguo mĩthiĩre yakwa ĩraihanĩrĩirie na mĩthiĩre yanyu, o na meciiria makwa magakĩra meciiria manyu.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa mbura yuraga, narĩo ira rĩkaharũrũka kuuma igũrũ, na iticookaga kuo itaihũgĩtie thĩ na igatũma mĩmera ĩthundũke na ĩciare, nĩguo mũhandi aheo mbeũ na ũrĩa wendaga kũrĩa aheo irio ciake,
11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall do that which I please, and it shall accomplish that for which I send it.
ũguo noguo kiugo gĩakwa kĩrĩa kiumaga kanua gakwa gĩgaaikara: Kiugo kĩu gĩtikanjookerera o ro ũguo tũhũ, no nĩgĩkahingia ũrĩa nyendete wĩkwo, na gĩkinyanĩrie muoroto ũrĩa watũmire ndĩgĩtũme.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Ũkoimagara na gĩkeno, na ũthiiage ũtongoretio nĩ thayũ; irĩma o na tũrĩma nacio nĩigaitĩka kũina rwĩmbo mbere yaku, nayo mĩtĩ yothe ya gĩthaka nĩĩkahũũra hĩ.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off.
Ithenya rĩa mĩigua-rĩ, gũkaamera mĩthengera, na ithenya rĩa congʼe kũmere mĩhandathi. Naguo ũndũ ũcio ũgaatuĩka wa gũtũma Jehova agĩe igweta, na ũtuĩke kĩmenyithia gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene, kĩrĩa gĩtagathũkio.”
