Isaiah 50
1 Thus saith the LORD, Where [is] the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
Jehova ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Marũa marĩa maitũguo aaheirwo ma gũtigana nake, o macio monanagia atĩ nĩndamũteire-rĩ, marĩ ha? Kana nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ wa arĩa ndaarĩ thiirĩ nao ndakwendeirie? Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu-rĩ, nĩkĩo mwendirio; nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mwagararĩte watho, nĩkĩo nyina wanyu aateirwo.
2 Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, [was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because [there is] no water, and dieth for thirst.
Rĩrĩa ndokire-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire haage mũndũ o na ũmwe? Ningĩ rĩrĩa ndetanire-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire haage mũndũ o na ũmwe wanjĩtĩkire? Kaĩ guoko gwakwa gwakuhĩhĩte, nĩguo kũremwo nĩkũmũkũũra? Nĩ hinya njagĩte wa kũmũhonokia? Ikũũma rĩakwa riiki nĩrĩtũmaga iria rĩhũe, o na ngatũma njũũĩ ituĩke werũ; thamaki ciakuo ikabutha nĩ kwaga maaĩ, na igakua nĩ nyoota.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
Niĩ humbaga igũrũ nguo ya nduma, na ngarĩkunĩkĩra na nguo ya ikũnia.”
4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to [him that is] weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
Mwathani Jehova nĩaahete rũrĩmĩ rwa andũ arĩa marutĩtwo maũndũ, nĩguo menyage ũrĩa ciugo ciakwa ingĩhota gũteithia andũ arĩa anogu. Anjarahũraga rũciinĩ o rũciinĩ, akaarahũra matũ makwa thikĩrĩrie nĩguo ndĩĩrute ta andũ arĩa marutagwo maũndũ.
5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
Mwathani Jehova nĩahingũrĩte matũ makwa, na niĩ ndirĩ ndamũremera; ndicookete na thuutha.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
Ndaneanire mũgongo wakwa kũrĩ andũ arĩa maahũũraga, kĩreru gĩakwa ngĩkĩnengera arĩa maangũũraga nderu; ndiahithire ũthiũ wakwa atĩ nĩguo ndikanyũrũrio, kana ndige gũtuĩrwo mata.
7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
Tondũ Mwathani Jehova nĩwe ũndeithagia-rĩ, ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaaconorithio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũmĩte ũthiũ wakwa ũikare ũũmĩte o ta ihiga rĩa nyaigĩ, na nĩnjũũĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaaconorithio.
8 [He is] near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who [is] mine adversary? let him come near to me.
Ningĩ ũrĩa ũnduuaga mũthingu arĩ hakuhĩ. Nũũ ũngĩgĩĩthitanga? Nĩoke tũrũgamane nake! Ningĩ ũrĩa ũngĩnjiirithia akĩrĩ we ũ? Mũndũ ũcio nĩarekwo akĩĩngʼethere!
9 Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that] shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova nĩwe ũndeithagia. Ũrĩa ũngĩndua mwĩhia akĩrĩ ũũ? Andũ acio othe magaathira o ta ũrĩa nguo ĩthiraga; makaarĩĩo nĩ memenyi, mathire biũ.
10 Who [is] among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh [in] darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
Nũũ thĩinĩ wanyu wĩtigĩrĩte Jehova, na wathĩkagĩra kiugo kĩa ndungata yake? Mũndũ ũrĩa ũthiiagĩra nduma-inĩ, ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũtheri, nĩakĩĩhoke rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, na egiritanie na Ngai wake.
11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass [yourselves] about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
No rĩrĩ, rĩu inyuĩ arĩa othe mwakagia mwaki, na mũkeehe imũrĩ igwakana-rĩ, thiĩi, mũgerere ũtheri-inĩ wa mwaki wanyu, na wa imũrĩ cia mwaki ũrĩa mũgwatĩtie. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo mũkaamũkĩra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa: Mũgaakoma thĩ na mĩnyamaro.
