Esias 45
1 Thus says the Lord God to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, that nations might be obedient before him; and I will break through the strength of kings; I will open doors before him, and cities shall not be closed.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Jehova areera Kurusu, ũrĩa wake mũitĩrĩrie maguta, o ũcio niĩ nyitĩte guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo nĩguo ndoorie ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ mbere yake, na njaũre athamaki indo ciao cia mbaara, nĩgeetha ndĩmũhingũrĩre mĩrango mbere yake, na nĩguo ndakanakore ihingo ihingĩtwo:
2 I will go before you, and will level mountains: I will break to pieces brazen doors, and burst iron bars.
Nĩngagũtongoria na nĩngaragania irĩma; nĩngoinanga ihingo cia gĩcango, na ndinangie mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
3 And I will give you the treasures of darkness, I will open to you hidden, unseen [treasures], that you may know that I, the Lord your God, that call you by name, am the God of Israel.
Nĩngakũhe igĩĩna iria ihithĩtwo nduma-inĩ, ngũhe ũtonga ũrĩa mũhithe, nĩguo ũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa ũgwĩtĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel mine elect, I will call you by your name, and accept you: but you have not known me.
Nĩngwĩtĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yakwa Jakubu, o na nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli ũcio niĩ ndĩthuurĩire, na ngakũhe rĩĩtwa rĩa gĩtĩĩo, o na gũtuĩka wee ndũnjũũĩ.
5 For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.
Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ; tiga niĩ gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ. Nĩndĩrĩkuongagĩrĩra hinya, o na gũtuĩka wee ndũnjũũĩ,
6 That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.
nĩgeetha kuuma irathĩro rĩa riũa nginya ithũĩro rĩarĩo, andũ mamenye atĩ gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ.
7 I am he that prepared light, and formed darkness; who make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord God, that does all these things.
Nĩ niĩ ndũmaga kũgĩe ũtheri, o na ngatũma kũgĩe nduma, nĩ niĩ ndehaga ũgaacĩru na ngatũma kũgĩe mwanangĩko; Nĩ niĩ, Jehova, ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio mothe.
8 Let the heaven rejoice from above, and let the clouds rain righteousness: let the earth bring forth, and blossom [with] mercy, and bring forth righteousness likewise: I am the Lord that created you.
“Atĩrĩrĩ inyuĩ matu ma igũrũ, urĩriai thĩ ũthingu; o na inyuĩ matu ma mbura itĩrĩriai thĩ ũthingu. Thĩ nayo nĩyathamie kanua, naguo ũhonokio nĩũkunũke, ũmere, ũkũranĩre na ũthingu. Niĩ Jehova-rĩ, nĩ niĩ ndũmĩte igĩe kuo.
9 What excellent thing have I prepared as clay of the potter? Will the plowman plow the earth all day? shall the clay say to the potter, What are you doing that you do not work, nor have hands? shall the thing formed answer him that formed it?
“Ũrĩa ũgianaga na Mũmũũmbi, kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Ũcio ahaana o ta rũgĩo thĩinĩ wa ngĩĩo iria irĩ thĩ. Rĩũmba rĩahota kũũria ũrĩa ũmbaga indo narĩo atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu ũromba?’ O na kana wĩra waku no uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ndarĩ na moko’?
10 As though one should say to [his] father, What will you beget me? and to his mother, What are you bringing forth?
Hĩ, kaĩ ũrĩa ũragia ithe atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu wagĩire?’ kana akooria nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu waciara?’ Kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ!
11 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, who has formed the things that are to come, Enquire of me concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command me.
“Jehova, Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, na Mũũmbi wake, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ maũndũ marĩa magooka-rĩ, anga no mũkĩnjũũrie ũhoro wa ciana ciakwa, kana mũnjathĩre wĩra wa moko makwa?
12 I have made the earth, and man upon it: I with my hand have established the heaven; I have given commandment to all the stars.
Nĩ niĩ ndombire thĩ, na ngĩũmba andũ arĩa marĩ kuo. Moko makwa nĩmo maatambũrũkirie kũu igũrũ, na ngĩatha mbũtũ cia igũrũ igĩe ho.
13 I have raised him up [to be] a king with righteousness, and all his ways are right: he shall build my city, and shall turn the captivity of my people, not for ransoms, nor for rewards, says the Lord of hosts.
Nĩngarahũra Kurusu nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wakwa: Nĩngatũma mĩthiĩre yake ĩrũngĩrĩre. We nĩagaaka itũũra rĩakwa rĩrĩa inene rĩngĩ, na ohorithie andũ akwa arĩa matahĩtwo, no rĩrĩ, matikarutĩrwo kĩndũ gĩa kũmakũũra kana marutĩrwo kĩheo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, Egypt has laboured [for you]; and the merchandise of the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall pass over to you, and shall be your servants; and they shall follow after you bound in fetters, and shall pass over to you, and shall do obeisance to you, and make supplication to you: because God is in you; and there is no God beside you, [O Lord].
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Maciaro ma bũrũri wa Misiri, na indo cia wonjorithia cia Kushi, o na andũ acio araihu a Sabea, nĩmagooka kũrĩ we matuĩke aku; nĩmagakuuma thuutha, na moke kũrĩ we mohetwo na mĩnyororo. Nĩmagakũinamĩrĩra, magũthaithe, makwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ Mũrungu arĩ hamwe nawe, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga we; ti-itherũ gũtirĩ ngai ĩngĩ.’”
15 For you are God, yet we knew [it] not, the God of Israel, the Saviour.
Ti-itherũ wee ũrĩ Mũrungu ũrĩa ũikaraga ehithĩte, Wee Ngai na Mũhonokia wa Isiraeli.
16 All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: you isles, keep a feast to me.
Arĩa othe mathondekaga mĩhianano ya kũhooywo nĩmagaconorithio na manyararithio; makoimagara mathiĩ manyararithio othe hamwe.
17 Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.
No rĩrĩ, Isiraeli nĩakahonokio nĩ Jehova na ũhonokio wake ũrĩa ũtũũraga tene na tene; wee ndũgaconorithio kana ũnyararithio nginya tene na tene.
18 Thus says the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ũcio wombire igũrũ, o we Ngai, o ũcio wombire thĩ na akĩmĩthondeka, agĩcooka akĩmĩrũmia wega; na ndaamĩũmbire ĩtũũre ĩrĩ ũtheri, no aamĩũmbire ĩtũũragwo nĩ andũ; we ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ.
19 I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.
Ndirĩ ndaaria na hitho, ndĩ handũ bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩ nduma; ndirĩ ndeera njiaro cia Jakubu atĩrĩ, ‘Nongoriai o ũguo tũhũ.’ Niĩ Jehova, njaragia ũhoro wa ma; nyumbũraga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, you that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, [even] their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
“Cookanĩrĩrai hamwe, mũũke; ũnganai, inyuĩ arĩa mũũrĩte kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ. Kwaga ũmenyi-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa makuuaga mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ya mĩtĩ, na makahooya ngai itangĩhota kũmahonokia.
21 If they will declare, let them draw near, that they may know together, who has caused these things to be heard from the beginning: then was it told you. I am God, and there is not another beside me; a just [God] and a Saviour; there is none but me.
Umbũrai ũhoro wa ũrĩa gũgaikara, na mũũheane, na andũ marekwo maciire marĩ hamwe. Nũũ waheanire ũhoro ũyũ kuuma o tene? Ningĩ nũũ waumbũrĩte matukũ-inĩ macio ma tene mũno? Githĩ ti niĩ, niĩ Jehova? Gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ tiga niĩ, Mũrungu mũthingu na Mũhonokia; ti-itherũ gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.
22 Turn you to me, and you shall be saved, you that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ ituri ciothe cia thĩ, njookererai mũhonokio, nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩ niĩ Mũrungu, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.
23 By myself I swear, righteousness shall surely proceed out of my mouth; my words shall not be frustrated; that to me every knee shall bend, and every tongue shall swear by God,
Nĩndĩhĩtĩte ngĩĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa niĩ mwene, naguo ũhoro ũkoima kanua gakwa na kĩhooto, naguo ndũkagarũrũka o na atĩa: Maru mothe nĩmagaturio mbere yakwa; nacio nĩmĩ ciothe nĩcikeehĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
24 saying, Righteousness and glory shall come to him: and all that remove them from their borders shall be ashamed.
Nĩmakaaria ũhoro wakwa, moige atĩrĩ, ‘Ũthingu na hinya cionekaga harĩ Jehova o we wiki.’” Andũ arĩa othe maarakarire makĩmũũkĩrĩra, nĩmagooka harĩ we maconorithio.
25 By the Lord shall they be justified, and in God shall all the seed of the children of Israel be glorified.
No njiaro ciothe cia Isiraeli nĩikoonekaga irĩ na ũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na nĩigakena mũno.
