“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 tents, and let them spread out the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, stretch out thy cords and make fast 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 increase on the right hande and on the left, and thy seede shall possesse the Gentiles, and dwell in 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 Feare not: for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither shalt thou be confounded: for thou shalt not bee put to shame: yea, thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproch of thy widdowhoode any more.
“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 hee that made thee, is thine husband (whose Name is the Lord of hostes) and thy redeemer the Holy one of Israel, shall be called the God of the whole world.
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, being as a woman forsaken, and afflicted in spirite, and as a yong wife when thou wast refused, sayth 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 litle while haue I forsaken thee, but with great compassion will I gather thee.
“Nĩgũkorwo ndĩragũtiganĩirie o gwa kahinda kanini, no nĩngũgũcookia ndĩ na tha nyingĩ mũno.
8 For a moment, in mine anger, I hid my face from thee for a litle season, but with euerlasting mercy haue I had compassion on thee, sayth 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 For this is vnto me as the waters of Noah: for as I haue sworne that the waters of Noah should no more goe ouer the earth, so haue I sworne that I would not be angrie with thee, nor 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 mountaines shall remoue and the hilles shall fall downe: but my mercy shall not depart from thee, neither shall the couenant of my peace fall away, saith the Lord, that hath compassion 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 thou afflicted and tossed with tempest, that hast no comfort, beholde, I wil lay thy stones with the carbuncle, and lay thy foundation with saphirs,
“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 windowes of emeraudes, and thy gates shining stones, and all thy borders of pleasant 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 And all thy children shalbe taught of the Lord, and much peace shalbe to thy children.
Ciana ciaku ciothe nĩikarutagwo ũhoro nĩ Jehova, naguo thayũ wa ciana icio ciaku nĩũkaingĩha mũno.
14 In righteousnes shalt thou be established, and be farre from oppression: for thou shalt not feare it: and from feare, for it shall not come neere thee.
Nĩũgaikara ta ũhaandĩtwo wega ũhoro-inĩ wa ũthingu: Ũnyamarania nĩũgakũraihĩrĩria; ndũgakorwo ũrĩ na ũndũ ũngĩtũma wĩtigĩre. Nakĩo kĩmako nĩgĩgakũraihĩrĩria; gĩtigagũkuhĩrĩria.
15 Beholde, the enemie shall gather himselfe, but without me: whosoeuer shall gather himselfe in thee, against thee, shall fall.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ mangĩgaagũtharĩkĩra-rĩ, niĩ ndigakorwo ũhoro-inĩ ũcio; na mũndũ o wothe ũgaagũtharĩkĩra-rĩ, ũcio nĩ kwĩneana akeeneana harĩwe.
16 Beholde, I haue created the smith that bloweth the coales in the fire, and him that bringeth forth an instrument for his worke, and I haue created the destroyer 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 But all the weapons that are made against thee, shall not prosper: and euery tongue that shall rise against thee in iudgement, thou shalt condemne. This is the heritage of the Lords seruants, and their righteousnesse is of me, sayth 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.
