Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩgũkagĩa mũthamaki wa gũthamaka na ũthingu, na kũgĩe na anene a gwathana na kĩhooto.
2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
O mũndũ agaatuĩka ta handũ ha kwĩgitia rũhuho, na ha kwĩyũa mbura ya kĩhuhũkanio, o na atuĩke ta tũrũũĩ twa maaĩ tũgũtherera werũ-inĩ, o na ta kĩĩruru kĩa rwaro rũnene rwa ihiga bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩ na nyoota.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
Namo maitho ma andũ arĩa moonaga matikaahingwo mage kuona, namo matũ ma arĩa maiguaga nĩmagathikĩrĩria.
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũhĩkaga gwĩka maũndũ ateciirĩtie wega, nĩakamenya maũndũ na ataũkĩrwo nĩmo, naruo rũrĩmĩ rũrĩa rũtondoiraga nĩrũkaaria o wega.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ mũndũ mũkĩĩgu agaacooka kũgĩa igweta, kana kĩmaramari gĩcooke gũtĩĩo mũno.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against YHWH, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ mũkĩĩgu aragia ũrimũ, na meciiria make mathugundaga maũndũ mooru: Mũndũ ũcio ekaga maũndũ matarĩ ma ũ-ngai, na akamemerekia maũndũ ma gũcambia Jehova; arĩa ahũtu amatigaga matarĩ na gĩa kũrĩa, na arĩa anyootu akamaima maaĩ ma kũnyua.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
Mĩthiĩre ya mũndũ kĩmaramari no ya waganu, athugundaga o maũndũ mooru ma kũniinithia andũ arĩa athĩĩni na ũhoro wa maheeni, o na rĩrĩa mathaithana ma mũbatari marĩ ma kĩhooto.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa mũtaana eciiragia o maũndũ ma ũtugi, na maũndũ macio ma ũtugi nĩmo egũtũũra ekaga.
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Atĩrĩrĩ inyuĩ andũ-a-nja aya mũtarĩ ũndũ ũmũthĩĩnagia, arahũkai mũthikĩrĩrie mũgambo wakwa; o na inyuĩ airĩtu aya mũtarĩ ũndũ mwĩtigagĩra, ta iguai ũrĩa nguuga!
10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Mwaka na matukũ matarĩ maingĩ maathira-rĩ, inyuĩ mũtarĩ ũndũ mwĩtigagĩra, nĩmũkainaina; nĩgũkorwo gũtigakorwo na magetha ma thabibũ, o na kana gũkorwo na magetha mangĩ.
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ-a-nja aya mũtarĩ ũndũ ũmũthĩĩnagia, inainai nĩ kũmaka; inainai inyuĩ airĩtu aya mũtarĩ ũndũ mwĩtigagĩra! Rutai nguo cianyu mũtigwo njaga, mũcooke mwĩohe makũnia njohero.
12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Mwĩhũũrei ithũri, mũrĩrĩre mĩgũnda yanyu ĩrĩa mĩega, o na mĩthabibũ ĩrĩa ĩciaraga mũno,
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
na mũrĩrĩre bũrũri wa andũ akwa, ũcio ũmerete mĩigua na congʼe: ĩĩ ti-itherũ, cakaĩrai nyũmba ciothe cia ikeno, na itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩrĩ na ndũhiũ cia arĩĩu.
14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Nĩgũkorwo ciĩgitĩro iria nũmu nĩigatiganĩrio, narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩiyũrĩte andũ rĩtigwo ũtheri; o na nyũmba ya mũthamaki na mũthiringo mũraihu igaatuĩka bũrũri ũteanĩirio nginya tene, gũtuĩke bũrũri wa gũtũũhagwo nĩ ndigiri, na ũrĩithio wa ndũũru cia mbũri,
15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
nginya rĩrĩa tũgaitĩrĩrio Roho kuuma igũrũ, naguo werũ ũgarũrwo ũtuĩke mũgũnda mũnoru, na mũgũnda ũcio mũnoru ũhaane ta mũtitũ.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
Ciira ũgaatũũra ũtuagwo na kĩhooto kũu werũ-inĩ, naguo ũthingu ũtũũre kũu mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio mũnoru.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Maciaro ma ũthingu ũcio nĩ thayũ; naguo uumithio wa ũthingu ũgaakorwo ũrĩ ũhooreri na kwĩhoka Ngai nginya tene.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
Andũ akwa magaatũũraga ciikaro cia thayũ, matũũre kũndũ gũtarĩ ũgwati, na mahurũkage kũndũ gũtarĩ na thĩĩna.
19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
O na mbura ya mbembe ĩngĩgũithia mĩtĩ ya mũtitũ thĩ, narĩo itũũra inene rĩaraganio biũ-rĩ,
20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
kaĩ inyuĩ nĩmũkarathimwo-ĩ, mũhaandage mbegũ cianyu gũkuhĩ na tũrũũĩ, nacio ngʼombe na ndigiri cianyu irĩithagio kũndũ guothe.
