Joel 2
1 Blowe the trumpet in Zion, and shoute in mine holy mountaine: let all the inhabitants of the lande tremble: for the day of the Lord is come: for it is at hand.
Huhai karumbeta kũu Zayuni, na muuge mbu kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa gĩtheru! Andũ arĩa othe matũũraga bũrũri ũyũ nĩmainaine, nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa Jehova nĩũrooka. Mũthenya ũcio nĩ ta mũkinyu:
2 A day of darkenesse, and of blacknesse, a day of cloudes, and obscuritie, as the morning spred vpon the mountaines, so is there a great people, and a mighty: there was none like it from the beginning, neither shalbe any more after it, vnto the yeeres of many generations.
nĩ mũthenya wa nduma na wa mairia, mũthenya wa matu na nduma ndumanu. Mbũtũ nene na ĩrĩ hinya ya ngigĩ nĩĩroka ta ruoro rũgĩtema irĩma-inĩ, na gũtirĩ kwagĩa ĩngĩ tayo kuuma tene, na gũtikagĩa ĩngĩ tayo matukũ marĩa magooka.
3 A fire deuoureth before him, and behinde him a flame burneth vp: the land is as the garden of Eden before him, and behinde him a desolate wildernesse, so that nothing shall escape him.
Mbere yacio nĩ mwaki wa kũniina, na thuutha wacio nĩ rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũracina bũrũri. Bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ mbere yacio ũhaana ta mũgũnda wa Edeni, no thuutha wacio ũgaatigwo ũhaana ta werũ mwanangĩku: gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩngĩĩhonokia harĩ cio.
4 The beholding of him is like the sight of horses, and like the horsemen, so shall they runne.
Mũhianĩre wacio nĩ ta wa mbarathi cia ita; ihanyũkaga ta thigari ihaicĩte mbarathi.
5 Like the noyse of charrets in the toppes of the mountaines shall they leape, like the noyse of a flame of fire that deuoureth the stubble, and as a mightie people prepared to the battel.
Irĩ na mũrurumo ta wa ngaari cia ita; irũgaga tũcũmbĩrĩ twa irĩma ta mwaki ũracarĩka ũgĩcina itira cia ngano, ihaana ta mbũtũ ya ita ĩrĩ hinya ĩthagathagĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wa mbaara.
6 Before his face shall the people tremble: all faces shall gather blackenesse.
Na rĩrĩa cionwo-rĩ, ndũrĩrĩ nĩinyiitagwo nĩ ruo rũnene; andũ othe magatukia ithiithi.
7 They shall runne like strong men, and goe vp to the wall like men of warre, and euery man shall goe forward in his wayes, and they shall not stay in their paths.
Itharĩkagĩra ta njamba cia ita; ihaicaga thingo ta thigari. Ithiiaga ciothe na mĩhari, itekũhĩtia kũrĩa cierekeire.
8 Neither shall one thrust another, but euery one shall walke in his path: and when they fall vpon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
Itihatĩkanaga ĩmwe na ĩrĩa ĩngĩ; o ĩmwe ĩthiiaga yerekeire mbere. Itoonyaga kũrĩa kũgitĩre, gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩngĩcigiria.
9 They shall runne to and from in the citie: they shall runne vpon the wall: they shall clime vp vpon the houses, and enter in at ye windowes like ye thiefe.
Iguthũkagĩra itũũra inene, igatengʼerera rũthingo-inĩ. Ikahaica, igatoonya nyũmba, igatoonyera ndirica ta aici.
10 The earth shall tremble before him, ye heauens shall shake, the sunne and the moone shalbe darke, and the starres shall withdraw their shining,
Thĩ ĩthingithaga mbere yacio, na igũrũ rĩkainaina, riũa na mweri ikagĩa nduma, na njata igatiga kwara.
11 And the Lord shall vtter his voyce before his hoste: for his hoste is very great: for he is strog that doeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can abide it?
Jehova araruruma ta ngwa atongoretie ita; thigari ciake itingĩtarĩka, arĩa maathĩkagĩra watho wake marĩ hinya. Mũthenya wa Jehova nĩ mũnene, na nĩ wa gwĩtigĩrwo. Nũũ ũngĩkĩhota kũwĩtiiria?
12 Therefore also now the Lord sayth, Turne you vnto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning,
Jehova aroiga atĩrĩ, “O na rĩu-rĩ, njokererai na ngoro cianyu ciothe, mwĩhingĩte kũrĩa irio, mũkĩrĩraga na mũgĩcakayaga.”
13 And rent your heart, and not your clothes: and turne vnto the Lord your God, for he is gratious, and mercifull, slowe to anger, and of great kindnes, and repenteth him of the euill.
Tembũrangai ngoro cianyu no ti nguo cianyu. Cookererai Jehova Ngai wanyu, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mũtugi na nĩ mũigua-tha, ndahiũhaga kũrakara, na aiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo, na nĩericũkagwo, akaaga gwĩka andũ ũũru.
14 Who knoweth, is he wil returne and repent and leaue a blessing behinde him, euen a meate offring, and a drinke offring vnto ye Lord your God?
Nũũ ũngĩmenya? Hihi no agarũrũke na aigue tha, atige atũrathima: atũhe indo iria irutagwo magongona ma mũtu, na iria irutagwo magongona ma kũnyuuo, cia kũrutĩrwo Jehova Ngai wanyu.
15 Blowe the trumpet in Zion, sanctifie a fast, call a solemne assembly.
Huhai karumbeta kũu Zayuni, anĩrĩrai gĩathĩ kĩamũre gĩa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio, ĩtanai kĩũngano gĩtheru.
16 Gather the people: sanctifie the congregation, gather the elders: assemble the children, and those that sucke the breastes: let the bridegrome go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her bride chamber.
Cookanĩrĩriai andũ, amũrai kĩũngano kĩu; rehei athuuri hamwe, na mũcookanĩrĩrie ciana, o na tũkenge tũrĩa tũronga. Mũhikania nĩoime kanyũmba gake, nake mũhiki nĩoime kĩrĩrĩ gĩake.
17 Let the Priestes, the ministers of the Lord weepe betweene the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and giue not thine heritage into reproche that the heathen should rule ouer them. Wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa matungataga mbere ya Jehova, nĩmarĩrĩre gatagatĩ ga gĩthaku kĩa Hekarũ na kĩgongona. Nĩmoige atĩrĩ, “Kĩhonokie andũ aku, Wee Jehova. Ndũkareke igai rĩaku rĩtuĩke kĩndũ gĩa kũnyũrũrio, kana tuunagwo thimo gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ. Nĩ kĩĩ kĩngĩtũma ndũrĩrĩ ciũranagie atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ Ngai wao akĩrĩ ha?’”
18 Then will the Lord be ielous ouer his land, and spare his people.
Ningĩ Jehova nĩakaigua ũiru nĩ ũndũ wa bũrũri wake, na aiguĩre andũ ake tha.
19 Yea, the Lord wil answere and say vnto his people, Beholde, I will send you corne, and wine, and oyle, and you shalbe satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproche among the heathen,
Jehova nĩakamacookeria atĩrĩ: “Nĩngũmũrehithĩria ngano, na ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta, indo cia kũmũigana biũ; na ndigacooka kũreka mũtuĩke kĩndũ gĩa kũnyũrũrio nĩ ndũrĩrĩ rĩngĩ.
20 But I will remooue farre off from you the Northren armie, and I will driue him into a land, barren and desolate with his face toward the East sea, and his end to the vtmost sea, and his stinke shall come vp, and his corruption shall ascend, because he hath exalted himselfe to do this.
“Nĩngaingata mbũtũ ĩyo ya ita ya kuuma gathigathini ĩthiĩ kũraya na inyuĩ, ndĩmĩtindĩkĩrĩrie bũrũri mũũmũ na mũhĩnju, ũtangĩgĩa irio. Mbũtũ yao ĩrĩa ĩtoongoretie ndĩmĩitĩrĩre iria-inĩ rĩa mwena wa irathĩro, na ĩrĩa ĩrĩ thuutha ndĩmĩitĩrĩre iria-inĩ rĩa mwena wa ithũĩro. Nakĩo kĩheera gĩa ciimba ciayo kĩambate na igũrũ; mũnungo wayo naguo ũiguĩke.” Ti-itherũ nĩekĩte maũndũ manene.
21 Feare not, O land, but be glad, and reioyce: for the Lord wil do great things.
Wee bũrũri, tiga gwĩtigĩra; kena na ũcanjamũke. Ti-itherũ Jehova nĩekĩte maũndũ manene.
22 Be not afrayde, ye beastes of the fielde: for the pastures of the wildernesse are greene: for the tree beareth her fruite: the figge tree and the vine do giue their force.
Inyuĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka, tigai gwĩtigĩra, nĩgũkorwo ũrĩithio wa werũ-inĩ nĩũramera nyeki. Mĩtĩ nĩĩraciara maciaro mayo, nayo mĩkũyũ na mĩthabibũ ĩgaciara mũno.
23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and reioyce in the Lord your God: for he hath giuen you the rayne of righteousnes, he wil cause to come downe for you the rayne, euen the first raine, and the latter raine in the first moneth.
Inyuĩ andũ a Zayuni, canjamũkai, mũkenere Jehova Ngai wanyu, nĩgũkorwo nĩamũheete mbura ya mbere nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wake. Nĩamuurĩirie mbura nyingĩ ya mbere na ya thuutha, o ta mbere.
24 And the barnes shalbe full of wheate, and the presses shall abound with wine and oyle.
Nacio ihuhĩro cia ngano nĩikaiyũra ngano; mĩtũngi nayo nĩĩkaiyũrĩrĩra ndibei ya mũhihano na maguta.
25 And I will render you the yeeres that the grashopper hath eaten, the canker worme and the caterpiller and the palmer worme, my great hoste which I sent among you.
“Nĩngamũrĩha mĩaka ĩrĩa yothe irio cianyu ciarĩirwo nĩ ngigĩ: ngigĩ iria nene, na itono cia ngigĩ, na ngigĩ iria ingĩ, na mĩrumbĩ ya ngigĩ; icio nĩ mbũtũ ciakwa nene cia ita iria ndaatũmĩte thĩinĩ wanyu.
26 So you shall eate and be satisfied and praise the Name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt marueilously with you: and my people shall neuer be ashamed.
Nĩmũkagĩa na irio nyingĩ cia kũrĩa, o nginya mũhũũne, na inyuĩ nĩmũkagoocaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu, ũrĩa ũmwĩkĩire maũndũ ma magegania; andũ akwa matigacooka gũconorithio rĩngĩ.
27 Ye shall also know, that I am in the middes of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God and none other, and my people shall neuer be ashamed.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli, na atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu, na atĩ gũtirĩ ũngĩ; andũ akwa matigacooka gũconorithio rĩngĩ.
28 And afterward will I powre out my Spirit vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophecie: your olde men shall dreame dreames, and your yong men shall see visions,
“Na thuutha wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, nĩngaitĩrĩria andũ othe Roho wakwa. Ariũ anyu na airĩtu anyu nĩmakarathaga mohoro, nao athuuri anyu nĩmakarootaga irooto, nao aanake anyu monage cioneki.
29 And also vpon the seruants, and vpon the maydes in those dayes wil I powre my Spirit.
O na ningĩ ndungata ciakwa cia arũme, na cia andũ-a-nja, nĩngaciitĩrĩria Roho wakwa matukũ-inĩ macio.
30 And I will shewe wonders in the heauens and in the earth: blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Nĩngonania morirũ kũu igũrũ, o na gũkũ thĩ, namo nĩ ma thakame, na ma mwaki, o na ma ndogo ĩkwambata na igũrũ.
31 The sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
Riũa nĩrĩkagarũrwo rĩtuĩke nduma, naguo mweri ũtuĩke ta thakame, mbere ya mũthenya ũcio mũnene na wa kũmakania wa Jehova ũtanakinya.
32 But whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued: for in mount Zion, and in Ierusale shalbe deliuerance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant, whom the Lord shall call.
Na nĩgũgakinya atĩrĩ, atĩ mũndũ o wothe ũgaakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova nĩakahonoka; nĩgũkorwo kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni na Jerusalemu nĩgũgakorwo na ũhonokio, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte, atĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka matigari nĩgũgakorwo na arĩa Jehova eĩtĩire.
