Isaiah 47
1 Come downe and sit in the dust: O virgine, daughter Babel, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, Tender and delicate.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, harũrũka ũikare thĩ rũkũngũ-inĩ, wee Mũirĩtu Gathirange wa Babuloni; ikara thĩ ũtaikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, wee Mwarĩ wa andũ a Babuloni. Ndũgacooka gũtuĩka mũndũ wa kũmenyererwo, kana mũndũ mũnyoroku ũtarĩ ũndũ angĩĩkĩra.
2 Take the mill stones, and grinde meale: loose thy lockes: make bare the feete: vncouer the legge, and passe through the floods.
Oya mahiga ma gĩthĩi, ũthĩe mũtu; eheria gĩtambaya gĩa kwĩhumbĩra ũthiũ. Heta nguo ciaku na ũguũrie magũrũ maku, ũtoboke maaĩ-inĩ ũringe tũrũũĩ.
3 Thy filthinesse shall be discouered, and thy shame shall be seene: I will take vengeance, and I will not meete thee as a man.
Nĩũkarutwo nguo ũtigwo njaga, ũikare ũconorithĩtio. Nĩngerĩhĩria, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ngaiguĩra tha.”
4 Our redeemer, the Lord of hostes is his Name, the holy one of Israel.
Mũkũũri witũ, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩrĩo Rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩwe Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
5 Sit still, and get thee into darkenesse, O daughter of the Chaldeas: for thou shalt no more be called, The ladie of kingdomes.
“Wee Mwarĩ wa andũ a Babuloni, ikara thĩ ũkirĩte ki, ũthiĩ ũkinye nduma-inĩ; ndũgacooka gwĩtwo mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja wa gwatha mothamaki.
6 I was wroth with my people: I haue polluted mine inheritance, and giuen them into thine had: thou diddest shew them no mercy, but thou didest lay thy very heauy yoke vpon the ancient.
Nĩkũrakara ndaarakarĩĩtio nĩ andũ akwa, na ngĩtũma igai rĩakwa rĩthaahe; ngĩmaneana moko-inĩ maku, nawe ũkĩaga kũmaiguĩra tha. O na andũ arĩa akũrũ ũkĩmaigĩrĩra icooki iritũ mũno.
7 And thou saidest, I shall be a ladie for euer, so that thou diddest not set thy mind to these things, neither diddest thou remember ye latter end therof.
Nawe ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ngũtũũra ndĩ mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja nginya tene!’ No wee ndũigana gũcũũrania maũndũ maya, o na kana wĩciirie ũrĩa ũhoro wamo wa kũrigĩrĩria ũgaikara.
8 Therefore nowe heare, thou that art giuen to pleasures, and dwellest carelesse, Shee sayeth in her heart, I am and none els: I shall not sit as a widowe, neither shall knowe the losse of children.
“Na rĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩria, wee wendete ikeno, na ũikaraga ũtarĩ ũgwati ũngĩĩtigĩra, na ũkeĩraga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ no niĩ, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ. Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaatuĩka mũtumia wa ndigwa, kana menye ũhoro wa gũkuĩrwo nĩ ciana.’
9 But these two thinges shall come to thee suddenly on one day, the losse of children and widowhoode: they shall come vpon thee in their perfection, for the multitude of thy diuinations, and for the great abundance of thine inchanters.
Maũndũ macio meerĩ nĩmagagũkorerera o rĩmwe, mũthenya o ro ũmwe: nĩũgakuĩrwo nĩ ciana, na ũtuĩke mũtumia wa ndigwa. Maũndũ macio magaagũkorerera na ũiyũru biũ, o na gũtuĩka ũrĩ na ũrogi mũingĩ, na ũgo waku ũkaingĩha mũno.
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickednesse: thou hast sayd, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, they haue caused thee to rebel, and thou hast saide in thine heart, I am, and none els.
Ũtũire wĩhokete waganu waku, ũkoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũnyonaga.’ Ũũgĩ na ũmenyo waku nĩikũhĩtithagia rĩrĩa ũkwĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ no niĩ, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.’
11 Therefore shall euill come vpon thee, and thou shalt not knowe the morning thereof: destruction shall fal vpon thee, which thou shalt not be able to put away: destruction shall come vpon thee suddenly, or thou beware.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwanangĩko nĩũgagũkora, na ndũkaamenya ũrĩa ũngĩũũrĩra. Nĩũgakorererwo nĩ mũtino ũrĩa ũtangĩhota gwĩkũũra kuuma kũrĩ guo; ningĩ nĩũgakorererwo o ro rĩmwe nĩ ihooru rĩa maũndũ ũterĩgĩrĩire.
12 Stand now among thine inchanters, and in the multitude of thy southsaiers (with whome thou hast wearied thy selfe from thy youth) if so be thou maist haue profit, or if so be thou maist haue strength.
“Wee thiĩ na mbere na ciama ciaku cia ũgo, na ũrogi waku mũingĩ ũrĩa ũtũire wĩkaga kuuma ũrĩ mũnini. No gũkorwo hihi nĩũkona kĩguni kĩa mo, kana hihi ũtũme kũgĩe na itua-nda inene.
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the starre gasers, and prognosticatours stand vp, and saue thee from these things, that shall come vpon thee.
Irĩra iria ciothe ũheetwo no gũkũnogia ikũnogetie! Ago aku arĩa maroraga igũrũ matu-inĩ nĩmeyumĩrie, acio matuĩragia njata na makaratha mohoro o mweri, o mweri-rĩ, nĩmagĩkũhonokie kuuma kũrĩ maũndũ marĩa megũgũkorerera.
14 Beholde, they shall be as stubble: the fire shall burne them: they shall not deliuer their owne liues from the power of the flame: there shalbe no coles to warme at, nor light to sit by.
Ti-itherũ, andũ acio mahaana ta itira iria itigĩtwo mũgũnda; nĩgũcinwo magaacinwo nĩ mwaki mathire. Matikahota kwĩhonokia kuuma kũrĩ hinya wa rũrĩrĩmbĩ rwa mwaki, nĩgũkorwo hatigaakorwo makara mangĩotwo mwaki; hatirĩ mwaki haha ũngĩotwo.
15 Thus shall they serue thee, with whom thou hast wearied thee, euen thy marchants from thy youth: euery one shall wander to his owne quarter: none shall saue thee.
Ũguo noguo mangĩgwĩkĩra, aya mwanarutithania wĩra na mũkonjorithia nao kuuma rĩrĩa warĩ mũnini. O mũndũ wao athiiaga o na mbere kũhĩtia; gũtigakorwo mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩgĩkũhonokia.
