< Isaiah 30 >
1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of Me; and that form projects, but not of My spirit, that they may add sin to sin;
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ciana iria nemi irĩ na haaro-ĩ! o icio ihingagia mĩbango ĩtarĩ yakwa, na igathondeka ngwatanĩro, no ti na Roho wakwa, igakĩiganĩrĩra mehia igũrũ rĩa mehia;
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at My mouth; to take refuge in the stronghold of Pharaoh, and to take shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
o icio ciikũrũkaga igathiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri itaahoete kĩrĩra; icio ciethaga ũteithio wa kũgitĩrwo nĩ Firaũni, na ikehoka kĩĩruru kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri gĩtuĩke rĩũrĩro rĩacio.
3 Therefore shall the stronghold of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your confusion.
No ũgitĩri ũcio wa Firaũni ũgaatuĩka wa kũmũconorithia, na kwĩhoka kĩĩruru kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri gũkaamũrehera thoni.
4 For his princes are at Zoan, and his ambassadors are come to Hanes.
O na akorwo marĩ na anene kũu Zoani, na mabarũthi mao nĩmakinyĩte Hanesi-rĩ,
5 They shall all be ashamed of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
andũ othe nĩmagaconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa andũ matangĩmaguna na ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, arĩa matangĩmateithia kana mamagune, tiga o kũmaconorithia na kũmarehera thoni.”
6 The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ nyamũ cia Negevu: Mabarũthi mao makuuaga ũtonga wao na ndigiri, na igĩĩna ciao magaaciigĩrĩra maguku-inĩ ma ngamĩĩra, magatuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa thĩĩna na wa mĩnyamaro, bũrũri ũrĩ mĩrũũthi ya njamba na ya nga, na nduĩra na nyoka iria ĩticũkaga, macitware bũrũri wa andũ matangĩmaguna o na atĩa.
7 For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called her arrogancy that sitteth still.
Nĩgũkorwo ũteithio wa Misiri nĩ wa tũhũ na ndũrĩ kĩguni. Nĩ ũndũ bũrũri ũcio ndĩwĩtĩte Rahabu ũrĩa Ũtarĩ-ũndũ-Ekaga.
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.
Na rĩrĩ, rĩu thiĩ ũmakururĩre ũhoro ũyũ kĩbaũ-inĩ, na ũwandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, nĩgeetha ũgaatuĩka ũira wa gũtũũra matukũ marĩa magooka.
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that refuse to hear the teaching of the LORD;
Nĩgũkorwo aya nĩ andũ aremi na nĩ ciana itũire iheenanagia, ciana itendaga gũthikĩrĩria ũtaaro wa Jehova.
10 That say to the seers: 'See not,' and to the prophets: 'Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy delusions;
Nacio ciĩraga ooni-maũndũ atĩrĩ, “Mũtigatuonere maũndũ mangĩ!” na ikeera anabii atĩrĩ, “Tigai gũtũrathĩra maũndũ ma ũhoro wa ma! Twĩragei maũndũ marĩa mangĩtũkenia, na mũtũrathagĩre maũndũ ma maheeni.
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.'
Eherai njĩra-inĩ ĩno, muume gacĩra-inĩ gaka, na mũtige gũtwĩra ũhoro wa Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli!”
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tondũ nĩmũregete ndũmĩrĩri ĩno, mũkehoka ũhinyanĩrĩria, na mũgatua maheeni kĩndũ gĩa gwĩtiiranagia nakĩo,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
rĩhia rĩĩrĩ rĩgũtuĩka ta rũthingo rũraihu na igũrũ, rũrĩ na mwatũka ũrĩa ũikaraga o ũkĩaramaga, rũrĩa rũmomokaga o narua, o rĩmwe.
14 And He shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the cistern.
Rũkoinĩkanga tũcunjĩ ta nyũngũ, rũthethereke rũtegũcaĩrwo, ũndũ hakaaga gacunjĩ o na kamwe gakoneka kangĩruta mwaki riiko, kana kangĩtaha maaĩ kuuma gĩthima-inĩ.”
15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: in sitting still and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.
Mwathani Jehova Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Njĩra ĩrĩa ĩngĩtũma mũhonoke no ya kwĩrira na gũikara mũtegwĩtanga, naguo hinya ũrĩa mũkaagĩa naguo ũkooneka nĩ ũndũ wa gũikara mũhooreire na kwĩhoka, no macio mothe nĩmũmaregete.
16 But ye said: 'No, for we will flee upon horses'; therefore shall ye flee; and: 'We will ride upon the swift'; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Mwoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, nĩtũkoora tũhaicĩte mbarathi.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũgakĩũra! Ningĩ mũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Tũkaahaica mbarathi iria irĩ ihenya mũno tũũre!’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa makaamũtengʼeria magaakorwo marĩ na ihenya mũno o nao!
17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one, at the rebuke of five shall ye flee; till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
Andũ ngiri makoora nĩ kũmakio nĩ mũndũ ũmwe; na inyuĩ inyuothe mũũre nĩ kũmakio nĩ andũ atano, nginya mũtigwo mũhaana ta mũtĩ wa bendera ũrĩ kĩrĩma-igũrũ, o na ta bendera ĩrĩ karĩma-igũrũ.”
18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have compassion upon you; for the LORD is a God of justice, happy are all they that wait for Him.
O na gũtariĩ ũguo-rĩ, Jehova eriragĩria kũmũtuga; arahũkaga nĩguo amũiguĩre tha. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ Ngai ũtuanagĩra ciira na kĩhooto. Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa othe mamwetagĩrĩra.
19 For, O people that dwellest in Zion at Jerusalem, thou shalt weep no more; He will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry, when He shall hear, He will answer thee.
Inyuĩ andũ a Zayuni, o inyuĩ mũtũũraga Jerusalemu, mũtigacooka kũrĩra. Hĩ, kaĩ nĩakamũtuga rĩrĩa mũkaamũkaĩra amũteithie-ĩ! Na rĩrĩa akaamũigua nĩakamwĩtĩka.
20 And though the Lord give you sparing bread and scant water, yet shall not thy Teacher hide Himself any more, but thine eyes shall see thy Teacher;
O na gũtuĩka Mwathani nĩamũheaga irio cia thĩĩna na maaĩ ma mĩnyamaro-rĩ, arutani anyu matigacooka kũhithwo rĩngĩ; mũkaameyonera na maitho manyu.
21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying: 'This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.'
O na mũngĩkagarũrũka na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho, matũ manyu nĩmakaiguaga mũgambo thuutha wanyu ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo njĩra; gererai yo.”
22 And ye shall defile thy graven images overlaid with silver, and thy molten images covered with gold; thou shalt put them far away as one unclean; thou shalt say unto it: 'Get thee hence.'
Ningĩ nĩmũgathaahia mĩhianano yanyu ya kũhooywo ĩrĩa ĩgemetio na betha igũrũ, na mĩhiano yanyu ĩrĩa ĩgemetio na thahabu igũrũ; mũkaamĩte ta taama ũrĩ thaahu wa mũndũ-wa-nja hĩndĩ ya mweri, mũmĩĩre atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi na kũu muume haha!”
23 And He will give the rain for thy seed, wherewith thou sowest the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous; in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
Ningĩ nĩakamuurĩria mbura nĩ ũndũ wa mbeũ iria mũhaandĩte mĩgũnda, nacio irio iria ikoima mĩgũnda ĩyo igaakorwo irĩ njega na ikaingĩha. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngʼombe cianyu ikaarĩithagio kũndũ kũrĩ ũrĩithio mwariĩ mũno.
24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savoury provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
Ndegwa na ndigiri iria ikaarĩmaga mĩgũnda ikaarĩĩaga mahuti mathuuranĩre na irio huhe, ciaraganĩtio na hũũma na iciko cia tĩĩri.
25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill streams and watercourses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Mũthenya ũcio gũkooraganwo mũno, rĩrĩa mĩthiringo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ ĩkaamomoka, tũrũũĩ nĩtũgaatherera kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ o gĩothe kĩraihu na karĩma o gothe gatũũgĩru.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the bruise of His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Naguo mweri ũkaara ta riũa, na ũtheri wa riũa ũnenehio maita mũgwanja, ũhaane ta ũtheri wa mĩthenya mũgwanja mĩgima, rĩrĩa Jehova akooha nguraro cia andũ ake na amahonie ironda iria aamatiihirie.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, with His anger burning, and in thick uplifting of smoke; His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue is as a devouring fire;
Atĩrĩrĩ, Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova rĩrooka riumĩte kũraya, rĩrĩ na marakara mahiũ na matu mathimbu ma ndogo; nacio iromo ciake ciyũrĩtwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ, na rũrĩmĩ rwake nĩ mwaki ũniinanaga.
28 And His breath is as an overflowing stream, that divideth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
Mĩhũmũ yake nĩ ta rũũĩ rũratherera na hinya rũkambata rũgakinya o nginya ngingo. Athũngũthagia ndũrĩrĩ gĩcungi-inĩ kĩa mwanangĩko; ekagĩra andũ matamu kanua nĩgeetha amahĩtithie.
29 Ye shall have a song as in the night when a feast is hallowed; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with the pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
Na inyuĩ nĩmũkaina, ta ũrĩa mũinaga ũtukũ ũrĩa mũkũngũyagĩra gĩathĩ kĩrĩa kĩamũre; nacio ngoro cianyu nĩigakena ta ũrĩa andũ makenaga makĩambata kĩrĩma kĩa Jehova makĩhuhaga mĩtũrirũ, o ũcio Rwaro-rwa-Ihiga rwa Isiraeli.
30 And the LORD will cause His glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of His arm, with furious anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a bursting of clouds, and a storm of rain, and hailstones.
Jehova nĩagatũma mũgambo wake ũrĩ riiri ũiguuo nĩ andũ, na nĩagatũma mone guoko gwake gũgĩikũrũka, arĩ na marakara maingĩ na mwaki wa kũniinana, hamwe na mbura ya marurumĩ, na kĩhuhũkanio, na mbura ya mbembe.
31 For through the voice of the LORD shall Asshur be dismayed, the rod with which He smote.
Mũgambo wa Jehova nĩũgathethera Ashuri; nĩakamagũtha na rũthanju rwake, amaniine magũe.
32 And in every place where the appointed staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps; and in battles of wielding will He fight with them.
Igũtha o rĩothe rĩrĩa Jehova akaamagũtha na rũthanju rwake rwa kũherithania-rĩ, rĩkaahaana ta rwĩmbo rũrainwo na tũhembe na inanda cia mũgeeto, akĩrũa mbaara nao ategũtigithĩria kũmahũũra na guoko gwake.
33 For a hearth is ordered of old; yea, for the king it is prepared, deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
Tofeti gũtũũrĩĩte kũhaarĩirio; gũthondeketwo nĩ ũndũ wa mũthamaki. Irima rĩakuo rĩa mwaki nĩirikie na rĩkaaramio, narĩo rĩrĩ na mwaki mũingĩ na ngũ nyingĩ, nayo mĩhũmũ ya Jehova nĩyo ĩraakia mwaki ũcio, ĩhaana ta rũũĩ rwa ũbiriti.
