Isaiah 61
1 The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me: he hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to preach a release to the captives, and deliverance to them that are shut up.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Roho wa Mwathani Jehova arĩ igũrũ rĩakwa, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩanjitĩrĩirie maguta, nĩguo hunjagĩrie andũ arĩa athĩĩni ũhoro-ũrĩa-mwega. Nĩandũmĩte ngahonie arĩa athuthĩku ngoro, na ngaanĩrĩre atĩ andũ arĩa mohetwo nĩmohorwo, nao arĩa mohetwo njeera ndĩmeere nĩmarekererio,
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God: to comfort all that mourn:
na hunjanagĩrie ũhoro wa mwaka ũrĩa Jehova akoonania ũtugi wake, na mũthenya ũrĩa Ngai witũ akerĩhĩria, ningĩ hooragĩrie arĩa othe marĩ na kĩeha,
3 To appoint to the mourners of Sion, and to give them a crown for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of grief: and they shall be called in it the mighty ones of justice, the planting of the Lord to glorify hint.
na ndeithagie andũ arĩa marĩ na kĩeha kũu Zayuni: ndĩmahumbe tanji ya ũthaka handũ ha mũhu, na ndĩmaitĩrĩrie maguta ma gĩkeno handũ ha kĩeha, na ndĩmahumbe nguo ya ũgooci handũ ha ngoro ĩtarĩ mwĩhoko. Nĩgeetha meetagwo mĩtĩ ya ũthingu, mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩhaandĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩguo monanagie riiri wake.
4 And they shall build the places that have been waste from of old, and shall raise up ancient ruins, and shall repair the desolate cities, that were destroyed for generation and generation.
Nao nĩmagaka kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũire kwanangĩtwo kuuma tene, na macookererie kũndũ kũrĩa kuonũhirwo tene; nĩ magaacookereria matũũra manene marĩa matũire marĩ manange njiarwa na njiarwa.
5 And strangers shall stand and shall feed your flocks: and the sons of strangers shall be your husbandmen, and the dressers of your vines.
Nao ageni nĩmakarĩithagia ndũũru cianyu; nao andũ a kũngĩ marĩmage mĩgũnda yanyu, o na maceehage mĩthabibũ yanyu.
6 But you shall be called the priests of the Lord: to you it shall be said: Ye ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and you shall pride yourselves in their glory.
No inyuĩ mũgeetagwo athĩnjĩri-Ngai a Jehova, nao andũ mamwĩtage atungatĩri a Ngai witũ. Mũkaarĩĩaga ũtonga wa ndũrĩrĩ, na mwĩtĩĩage na indo icio ciao nyingĩ.
7 For your double confusion and shame, they shall praise their part: therefore shall they receive double in their land, everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa andũ akwa manaconorithio, makaarĩhĩrio maita meerĩ, na handũ ha thoni-rĩ, nĩmagakenera igai rĩao; na nĩ ũndũ ũcio makaagaya igai maita meerĩ bũrũri-inĩ wao, na magĩe na gĩkeno gĩtagathira nginya tene.
8 For I am the Lord that love judgment, and hate robbery in a holocaust: and I will make their work in truth, and I will make a perpetual covenant with them.
“Nĩgũkorwo niĩ, Jehova, nĩnyendete ciira wa kĩhooto; nĩthũire ũtunyani na waganu. Nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku wakwa-rĩ, nĩngamarĩha irĩhi rĩao, na ndĩĩkanĩre nao kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene.
9 And they shall know their seed among the Gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of peoples: all that shall see them, shall know them, that these are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.
Njiaro ciao nĩikaagĩa igweta ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ciana ciao imenywo nĩ andũ a ndũrĩrĩ. Arĩa othe makaamoona nĩmagetĩkĩra atĩ acio nĩo andũ arĩa Jehova arathimĩte.”
10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation: and with the robe of justice he hath covered me, as a bridegroom decked with a crown, and as a bride adorned with her jewels.
Niĩ nĩngenagĩra Jehova mũno; ngoro yakwa ĩcanjamũkaga nĩ ũndũ wa Ngai wakwa. Nĩgũkorwo nĩahumbĩte ũhonokio ta nguo, na akaahumba nguo ndaaya ya ũthingu, o ta ũrĩa mũhikania agemagia mũtwe wake na kĩremba taarĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ta ũrĩa mũhiki egemagia na mathaga make ma goro.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth her seed to shoot forth: so shall the Lord God make justice to spring forth, and praise before all the nations.
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa tĩĩri ũtũmaga mbegũ imere, na mũgũnda ũgatũma mbegũ ikũre-rĩ, ũguo noguo Mwathani Jehova agaatũma ũthingu na ũgooci ciumĩre cionekane nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
