Isaiah 54
1 Give praise, O thou barren, that bearest not: sing forth praise, and make a joyful noise, thou that didst not travail with child: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband, saith the Lord.
“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 stretch out the skins of thy tabernacles, 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 pass on to the right hand, and to the left: and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and shall inhabit the desolate cities.
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 confounded, nor blush: for thou shalt not be put to shame, because thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt remember no more the reproach of thy widowhood.
“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 he that made thee shall rule over thee, the Lord of hosts is his name: and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of all the earth.
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 the Lord hath called thee as woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and as a wife cast off from her youth, said 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 a moment of indignation have I hid my face a little while from thee, but with everlasting kindness have I had mercy on thee, said the Lord 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 This thing is to me as in the days of Noe, to whom I swore, that I would no more bring in the waters of Noe upon the earth: so have I sworn not to be angry with thee, and not to 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 be moved, and the hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my peace shall not be moved: said the Lord 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 O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will 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 bulwarks of jasper: and thy gates of graven stones, and all thy borders of desirable 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 All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: 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 And thou shalt be founded in justice: depart 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, an inhabitant shall come, who was not with me, he that was a stranger to thee before, shall be joined to thee.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ mangĩgaagũtharĩkĩra-rĩ, niĩ ndigakorwo ũhoro-inĩ ũcio; na mũndũ o wothe ũgaagũtharĩkĩra-rĩ, ũcio nĩ kwĩneana akeeneana harĩwe.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have created the killer to destroy.
“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 formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that resisteth thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with me, saith the Lord.
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.
