Isaiah 66
1 Thus saith the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool: what is this house that you will build to me? and what is this place of my rest?
Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Igũrũ nĩrĩo gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene, nayo thĩ nĩyo gĩturwa gĩakwa kĩa magũrũ. Mũngĩkĩnjakĩra nyũmba ĩhaana atĩa? Naho handũ hakwa ha kũhurũka hangĩkorwo hahaana atĩa?
2 My hand made all these things, and all these things were made, saith the Lord. But to whom shall I have respect, but to him that is poor and little, and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my words?
Githĩ ti guoko gwakwa gwathondekire indo ici ciothe, na gũgĩtũma igĩe kuo?” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũndũ ũyũ nowe ngaatĩĩa: nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩnyiihagia na akagĩa na ngoro ĩherete, na akainaina rĩrĩa ekũigua kiugo gĩakwa.
3 He that sacrificeth an ox, is as if he slew a man: he that killeth a sheep in sacrifice, as if he should brain a dog: he that offereth an oblation, as if he should offer swine’s blood; he that remembereth incense, as if he should bless an idol. All these things have they chosen in their ways, and their soul is delighted in their abominations.
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa ũrutaga ndegwa igongona ahaana o ta ũrĩa ũragaga mũndũ, nake ũrĩa ũrutaga gatũrũme, ahaana o ta mũndũ ũrĩa uunaga ngui ngingo; mũndũ ũrĩa ũrutaga iruta rĩa mũtu, ahaana o ta mũndũ ũrĩa ũrutaga thakame ya ngũrwe, nake ũrĩa ũcinaga ũbumba wa kĩririkano, ahaana o ta mũndũ ũrĩa ũhooyaga mũhianano. Andũ acio nĩmethuurĩire njĩra ciao o ene, na ngoro ciao igakenagio nĩ maũndũ marĩa marĩ magigi;
4 Wherefore I also will choose their mockeries, and will bring upon them the things they feared: because I called, and there was none that would answer; I have spoken, and they heard not; and they have done evil in my eyes, and have chosen the things that displease me.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio, niĩ o na niĩ nĩngathuura kũmeka ũndũ mũũru na ndĩmarehithĩrie maũndũ marĩa matũmaga metigĩrĩte. Nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa ndetanire, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wanjĩtĩkire, na rĩrĩa ndaaririe, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wathikĩrĩirie. Andũ acio meekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ makwa, na magĩthuura maũndũ marĩa matangenagia.”
5 Hear the word of the Lord, you that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my name’s sake, have said: Let the Lord be glorified, and we shall see in your joy: but they shall be confounded.
Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũinainaga nĩ gũtĩĩa kiugo gĩake, ta iguai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova: “Ariũ a thoguo arĩa mamũthũire, na makamũingata nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, moigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ta nĩagĩkumio nĩguo tũkĩone gĩkeno kĩanyu!’ No rĩrĩ, o nĩmagaconorithio.
6 A voice of the people from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
Ta iguai mbugĩrĩrio ĩyo ĩroima kũu itũũra rĩrĩa inene, mũigue inegene rĩu rĩroima kũu hekarũ-inĩ! Ũcio nĩ mũgambo wa Jehova mũraigua akĩrĩha thũ ciake kĩrĩa kĩmagĩrĩire.
7 Before she was in labour, she brought forth; before her time came to be delivered, she brought forth a man child.
“Atanambĩrĩria kũrũmwo-rĩ, nĩaciarĩte: na ataanarũmwo nĩ ruo-rĩ, agagĩciara mwana wa kahĩĩ.
8 Who hath ever heard such a thing? and who hath seen the like to this? shall the earth bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be brought forth at once, because Sion hath been in labour, and hath brought forth her children?
Nũũ ũrĩ aigua ũndũ ta ũcio? Nũũ ũrĩ wona maũndũ ta macio? Anga bũrũri wakĩhota gũciarĩrwo andũ aguo mũthenya o ro ũmwe, o na kana rũrĩrĩ rũkĩigane o ro rĩmwe? No rĩrĩ, o rĩrĩa Zayuni yanyiitirwo nĩ ruo-rĩ, o hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo yaciarire ciana ciayo o ro rĩmwe.
9 Shall not I that make others to bring forth children, myself bring forth, saith the Lord? shall I, that give generation to others, be barren, saith the Lord thy God?
Anga no nginyie ihinda rĩa mwana gũciarwo na ndikĩreke aciarwo?” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekũũria. “Anga no hingĩrĩrie mwana nda nginyĩtie ihinda rĩake rĩa gũciarwo?” ũguo nĩguo Ngai wanyu ekũũria.
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her.
“Inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mwendete itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, kenanĩrai narĩo na mũcanjamũke nĩ ũndũ warĩo; kenanĩrai mũno narĩo, inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mũtũire mũrĩcakayagĩra.
11 That you may suck, and be filled with the breasts of her consolations: that you may milk out, and flow with delights, from the abundance of her glory.
Nĩgeetha mũhaane ta andũ mongete maũndũ mega marĩo, mũkahũũna mũhooreire nyondo-inĩ ciake; ningĩ mũnyuuage mũkanyootoka, na mũkenagĩre ũingĩ wa iria rĩake.”
12 For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.
Nĩgũkorwo ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: “Nĩngakinyĩria itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu thayũ ũhaana ta rũũĩ, na ũtonga wa ndũrĩrĩ ũhaana taarĩ rũũĩ rũiyũrĩte rũkoina; mũkahoorera ta kaana gakĩongithio nĩ nyina, mũgaakuuo na moko make, na mũcũgacũgagio mũrĩ maru-inĩ make.
13 As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
O ta ũrĩa mwana ahooreragio nĩ nyina, ũguo noguo ngaamũhooreria; na nĩmũkahoorerio mũrĩ kũu Jerusalemu.”
14 You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall be angry with his enemies.
Rĩrĩa mũkoona ũndũ ũcio, ngoro cianyu nĩigakena, nawe ũrirũke ta nyeki nduru; naguo hinya wa guoko kwa Jehova nĩũkamenyeka nĩ ndungata ciake, no marakara make nĩmakamenyeka nĩ thũ ciake.
15 For behold the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, to render his wrath in indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova arooka arĩ na mwaki, na ngaari ciake cia ita ihaana ta kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene; akaamũikũrũkĩria marakara make arĩ na mangʼũrĩ, na amũkũũme na ikũũmana rĩhaana ta nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki.
16 For the Lord shall judge by fire, and by his sword unto all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagatuĩra andũ othe ciira, arĩ na mwaki na rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, na arĩa makooragwo nĩ Jehova magaakorwo marĩ aingĩ.
17 They that were sanctified, and thought themselves clean in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eat swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
“Na rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa meamũrĩte na magetheria nĩguo mathiĩ marũmĩrĩire ũrĩa ũrĩ gatagatĩ nĩguo makinye magongona-inĩ marĩa marutagĩrwo mĩgũnda-inĩ, o acio marĩĩaga nyama cia ngũrwe na mbĩa, na indo ingĩ irĩ thaahu, magaathiranĩra hamwe,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
18 But I know their works, and their thoughts: I come that I may gather them together with all nations and tongues: and they shall come and shall see my glory.
“Na niĩ-rĩ, tondũ wa ciĩko ciao na mecũũrania mao, ngirie gũũka njookanĩrĩrie ndũrĩrĩ ciothe o na andũ a mĩario yothe, nao nĩmagooka meyonere riiri wakwa.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send of them that shall be saved, to the Gentiles into the sea, into Africa, and Lydia them that draw the bow: into Italy, and Greece, to the islands afar off, to them that have not heard of me, and have not seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory to the Gentiles:
“Nĩngekĩra kĩmenyithia thĩinĩ wao, na amwe a arĩa makaahonoka nĩngamatũma mathiĩ ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ: mathiĩ Tarishishi, na mathiĩ Putu na Ludu kũrĩ andũ arĩa me ngumo ya gũikia mĩguĩ, na mathiĩ Tubali na Javani, na mathiĩ kũrĩ andũ arĩa matũũraga icigĩrĩra-inĩ cia kũndũ kũraya, kũrĩa gũtarĩ kwaiguuo ngumo yakwa, kana gũkonwo riiri wakwa. Nĩmakahunjia ũhoro wa riiri wakwa kũrĩ andũ a ndũrĩrĩ.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as if the children of Israel should bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.
Nao nĩmakarehe ariũ a thoguo othe, kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe, marehwo makuuĩtwo nĩ mbarathi, na ngaari cia ita, na makaari ma kũguucio, na mahaicĩte nyũmbũ na ngamĩĩra, moke kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa kĩrĩa kĩamũre kũu Jerusalemu, matuĩke ta igongona harĩ Jehova,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nao magaacirehe o ta ũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli marehaga ngano yao ya maruta kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova ĩkuuĩtwo na indo iria itarĩ thaahu.
21 And I will take of them to be priests, and Levites, saith the Lord.
Na niĩ nĩngathuura amwe ao matuĩke athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
22 For as the new heavens, and the new earth, which I will make to stand before me, saith the Lord: so shall your seed stand, and your name.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa igũrũ rĩu rĩerũ na thĩ njerũ iria ngũthondeka igatũũra mbere yakwa-rĩ, ũguo noguo rĩĩtwa rĩaku na njiaro ciaku irĩtũũraga.
23 And there shall be month after month, and sabbath after sabbath: and all flesh shall come to adore before my face, saith the Lord.
Kuuma Karũgamo ka Mweri ũmwe nginya Karũgamo ka Mweri ũrĩa ũngĩ, na kuuma Thabatũ ĩmwe nginya Thabatũ ĩrĩa ĩngĩ, andũ othe nĩmagookaga kũhooya mainamĩrĩire mbere yakwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
24 And they shall go out, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched: and they shall be a loathsome sight to all flesh.
“Nao nĩmakoimagara makerorere ciimba cia andũ arĩa maanemeire; nĩ ũndũ igunyũ ciao itigakua, o na kana mwaki ũrĩa wa kũmacina ũhore, nao nĩmagatuĩka ta kĩndũ gĩthũirwo mũno nĩ andũ othe.”
