Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold Damascus shall cease to be a city, and shall be as a ruinous heap of stones.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ Dameski: “Atĩrĩrĩ, itũũra rĩa Dameski rĩtigũcooka gũtuĩka itũũra inene rĩngĩ, no rĩrĩ, rĩgaatuĩka hĩba ya mwanangĩko.
2 The cities of Aroer shall be left for flocks, and they shall rest there, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
Matũũra marĩa manene ma Aroeri nĩmagatiganĩrio, matigĩrwo ndũũru cia mbũri iria igaakomaga kũu, gũtarĩ mũndũ wa gũcimakia.
3 And aid shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: and the remnant of Syria shall be as the glory of the children of Israel: saith the Lord of hosts.
Kĩĩgitĩro kĩrĩa kĩrũmu kĩa Efiraimu nĩgĩkeherio, o na hinya wa ũthamaki weherio Dameski; namo matigari ma Suriata makaahaana o ta riiri wa andũ a Isiraeli,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall grow lean.
“Ihinda rĩu riiri wa Jakubu nĩ ũgaatheũka; naguo mwĩrĩ ũcio wake mũnoru ũhĩnje.
5 And it shall be as when one gathereth in the harvest that which remaineth, and his arm shall gather the ears of corn: and it shall be as he that seeketh ears in the vale of Raphaim.
Gũkaahaana o ta rĩrĩa mũgethi acookanagĩrĩria ngano ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ ngethe, akagetha ngano na guoko gwake: gũkahaana ta mũndũ ũkũhaara itira cia ngano Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Refaimu.
6 And the fruit thereof that shall be left upon it, shall be as one cluster of grapes, and as the shaking of the olive tree, two or three berries in the top of a bough, or four or five upon the top of the tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.
No rĩrĩ, nĩgũgatigwo ngano ĩngĩhaarwo, o ta ũrĩa maciaro ma mũtamaiyũ matangĩitĩka mothe mũtĩ ũcio ũngĩinainio, no ndamaiyũ igĩrĩ kana ithatũ nĩitigaraga honge-inĩ iria irĩ igũrũ gacũmbĩrĩ, o na inya kana ithano igatigara honge-inĩ iria irĩ na maciaro maingĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga.
7 In that day man shall bow down himself to his Maker, and his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.
Mũthenya ũcio, andũ magaacũthĩrĩria Ũrĩa Mũũmbi wao, namo maitho mao marore Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
8 And he shall not look to the altars which his hands made: and he shall not have respect to the things that his fingers wrought, such as groves and temples.
Matigacũthĩrĩria igongona iria mathondekete na moko mao, na matikarũmbũiya itugĩ cia Ashera, na magongona marĩa methondekeire ma gũcinĩra ũbumba.
9 In that day his strong cities shall be forsaken, as the ploughs, and the corn that were left before the face of the children of Israel, and thou shalt be desolate.
Mũthenya ũcio matũũra mao manene marĩa marĩ hinya, marĩa maatiganĩirio makĩũrĩra andũ a Isiraeli, makahaana ta kũndũ gũtiganĩrie gũgatuĩka gĩthaka, na gũgakũra mahuti. Namo matũũra macio magaakira ihooru.
10 Because thou hast forgotten God thy saviour, and hast not remembered thy strong helper: therefore shalt thou plant good plants, and shalt sow strange seed.
Nĩmũriganĩirwo nĩ Ngai, Mũhonokia wanyu; nĩmwagĩte kũririkana Rwaro rũu rwa Ihiga, o rũu kĩĩgitĩro kĩanyu. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na mũngĩkahaanda mĩmera ĩrĩa mĩega mũno, na mũhaande mĩthabibũ ya kuuma kũndũ kũngĩ,
11 In the day of thy planting shall be the wild grape, and in the morning thy seed shall flourish: the harvest is taken away in the day of inheritance, and shall grieve thee much.
o na mũngĩgaatũma ĩkũre mũthenya o ro ũcio mũkaamĩhaanda, o na rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ mũtũme ĩrute kĩro-rĩ, gũtirĩ magetha mũkoona mũthenya ũcio wa mũrimũ na ruo rũtangĩthira.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, like the multitude of the roaring sea: and the tumult of crowds, like the noise of many waters.
Ĩiya-ĩ, mũrurumo wa ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, iraruruma ta iria rĩkĩhuhũkania! Ĩiya-ĩ, inegene rĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩranegena, o ta mũrurumo wa maaĩ maingĩ.
13 Nations shall make a noise like the noise of waters overflowing, but he shall rebuke him, and he shall flee far off: and he shall be carried away as the dust of the mountains before the wind, and as a whirlwind before a tempest.
O na gũtuĩka ndũrĩrĩ iranegena na mũrurumo ta wa ndiihũ cia maaĩ maingĩ-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa we mwene aacikũũma, ciũraga igathiĩ kũndũ kũraya mũno, ihurutĩtwo nĩ rũhuho ta ũrĩa mũũngũ ũrĩ irĩma-inĩ ũmbũragwo, kana ta riya rĩgĩthiũrũrũkio nĩ rũhuho rũnene.
14 In the time of the evening, behold there shall be trouble: the morning shall come, and he shall not be: this is the portion of them that have wasted us, and the lot of them that spoiled us.
Hwaĩ-inĩ, o rĩmwe gũkagĩa kĩmako kĩnene! Gũtanakĩa-rĩ, andũ matirĩ ho! Rĩu nĩrĩo igai rĩa andũ arĩa matũtunyaga indo ciitũ, ũcio nĩguo mũtĩ ũrĩa ũgwĩrĩire andũ arĩa matũtahaga indo ciitũ.
