< Esias 55 >

1 You that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go [and] buy; and eat [and drink] wine and fat without money or price.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mũnyootiĩ-rĩ, ũkaai mũnyue maaĩ; na inyuĩ mũtarĩ na mbeeca-rĩ, ũkaai mũgũre irio, mũrĩe! Ũkaai, mũgũre ndibei na iria mũtarĩ na mbeeca mũkũruta, na hatarĩ na thogora.
2 Therefore do you value at the price of money, and [give] your labor for that which will not satisfy? listen to me, and you shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũtũmĩre mbeeca harĩ irio gũtarĩ, o na mũnoge mũkĩrutĩra wĩra kĩndũ gĩtangĩmũhũũnia? Thikĩrĩriai na mũnjigue, nĩguo mũrĩĩage indo iria njega, nacio ngoro cianyu nĩirĩkenagĩra irio iria njega mũno.
3 Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: listen to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.
Tegai matũ mũthikĩrĩrie, na mũũke kũrĩ niĩ; njiguai nĩgeetha mũtũũre muoyo. Na niĩ nĩngarĩĩkanĩra na inyuĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene, arĩ wendo wakwa wa kwĩhokeka ũrĩa nderĩire Daudi.
4 Behold I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.
Atĩrĩrĩ ũcio nĩndĩmũtuĩte mũira kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, na ngamũtua mũtongoria na mũnene wa ndũrĩrĩ.
5 Nations which know you not, shall call upon you, and peoples which are not acquainted with you, shall flee to you for refuge, for the sake of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
Ti-itherũ nĩũgeeta ndũrĩrĩ iria ũtooĩ, nacio ndũrĩrĩ iria itakũũĩ itengʼere ciũke kũrĩ we, nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Ngai waku, o we Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo nĩakũhumbĩte ũkengu mũnene.”
6 Seek you the Lord, and when you find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,
Mathaai Jehova hĩndĩ ĩrĩa angĩoneka; mũkaĩrei hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arĩ hakuhĩ.
7 let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels: and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for he shall abundantly pardon your sins.
Mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu nĩatigane na mĩthiĩre yake, nake mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ mũthingu atigane na meciiria make mooru. Nĩacookerere Jehova, na nĩekũmũiguĩra tha, na acookerere Ngai witũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩakĩragĩrĩria kũrekanĩra.
8 For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.
“Nĩgũkorwo meciiria makwa timo meciiria manyu, o na kana mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩgatuĩka ta mĩthiĩre yakwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
9 But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.
“O ta ũrĩa matu maraihanĩrĩirie na thĩ, ũguo noguo mĩthiĩre yakwa ĩraihanĩrĩirie na mĩthiĩre yanyu, o na meciiria makwa magakĩra meciiria manyu.
10 For as rain shall come down, or snow, from heaven, and shall not return until it have saturated the earth, and it bring forth, and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food:
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa mbura yuraga, narĩo ira rĩkaharũrũka kuuma igũrũ, na iticookaga kuo itaihũgĩtie thĩ na igatũma mĩmera ĩthundũke na ĩciare, nĩguo mũhandi aheo mbeũ na ũrĩa wendaga kũrĩa aheo irio ciake,
11 so shall my word be, whatever shall proceed out of my mouth, it shall by no means turn back, until all the things which I willed shall have been accomplished; and I will make your ways prosperous, and [will effect] my commands.
ũguo noguo kiugo gĩakwa kĩrĩa kiumaga kanua gakwa gĩgaaikara: Kiugo kĩu gĩtikanjookerera o ro ũguo tũhũ, no nĩgĩkahingia ũrĩa nyendete wĩkwo, na gĩkinyanĩrie muoroto ũrĩa watũmire ndĩgĩtũme.
12 For you shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.
Ũkoimagara na gĩkeno, na ũthiiage ũtongoretio nĩ thayũ; irĩma o na tũrĩma nacio nĩigaitĩka kũina rwĩmbo mbere yaku, nayo mĩtĩ yothe ya gĩthaka nĩĩkahũũra hĩ.
13 And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle: and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.
Ithenya rĩa mĩigua-rĩ, gũkaamera mĩthengera, na ithenya rĩa congʼe kũmere mĩhandathi. Naguo ũndũ ũcio ũgaatuĩka wa gũtũma Jehova agĩe igweta, na ũtuĩke kĩmenyithia gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene, kĩrĩa gĩtagathũkio.”
