< Isaiah 14 >

1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make choice of Israel, and replace them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined unto them, and they shall attach themselves to the house of Jacob.
No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩakaiguĩra Jakubu tha; nĩegwĩthuurĩra Isiraeli o rĩngĩ, na atũme maikare bũrũri wao ene. Ageni nĩmakegwatania nao, na manyiitane na nyũmba ya Jakubu.
2 And nations shall take them, and bring them to their own place; but the house of Israel shall obtain possession of them in the land of the Lord for men-servants and for maid-servants; and they shall take captive their captors, and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Ndũrĩrĩ nĩikamooya, imacookie kũndũ kwao. Nayo nyũmba ya Isiraeli nĩĩkegwatĩra ndũrĩrĩ, ituĩke ndungata ciao cia arũme na cia airĩtu kũu bũrũri wa Jehova. Nĩmagataha andũ arĩa maamatahĩte tene, na macooke gwatha andũ arĩa maamahinyagĩrĩria.
3 And it shall come to pass on the day when the Lord will give thee rest from thy trouble, and from thy vexation, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
Mũthenya ũrĩa Jehova akaamũhurũkia kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ na mĩnyamaro-inĩ, na ũkombo-inĩ wa kũhinyĩrĩrio-rĩ,
4 That thou wilt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath ceased the oppressor! ceased the exactress of gold!
nĩmũgookĩrĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni na kĩnyũrũri, mũmwĩre atĩrĩ: Kaĩ mũhinyanĩrĩria nĩakinyĩte mũthia-ĩ! Kaĩ marakara make mahiũ nĩmathirĩte-ĩ!
5 Broken hath the Lord the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of rulers;
Jehova nĩoinangĩte rũthanju rwa andũ arĩa aaganu, o na akoinanga thimbũ ya ũnene ya arĩa maathanaga,
6 He who smote people in wrath, blows without intermission, he that ruled in anger nations, persecuting without restraint.
ĩrĩa maahũũraga andũ nayo mategũtigithĩria, marakarĩte, magaatha ndũrĩrĩ marĩ na marakara, na magaciũgitaga matarĩ na tha.
7 At rest, quiet is all the earth; men break forth into loud song.
Mabũrũri mothe rĩu nĩmahurũkĩte na marĩ na thayũ; nĩmambĩrĩirie kũina.
8 Also, the fir-trees rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, “Since thou wast laid low, no feller is come up against us.”
O nayo mĩtĩ ya mĩkarakaba na mĩtarakwa ya Lebanoni ĩragũkenerera, ĩkoiga atĩrĩ: “Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa wagũithirio thĩ, gũtirĩ mũtemi mĩtĩ ũrĩ woka gũtũtema.”
9 The nether world from below is in motion concerning thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the departed for thee, all the chief ones of the earth; it hath caused to rise up from their thrones all the kings of nations. (Sheol h7585)
Mbĩrĩra kũu mũhuro wa thĩ nĩyarahũkĩte, ĩgũtũnge ũgĩkinya kuo; nĩyarahũrĩte maroho ma arĩa maanakua makũgeithie: arĩa othe maarĩ atongoria gũkũ thĩ; ĩtũmaga mookĩrĩrie itĩ ciao cia ũnene, o arĩa othe maarĩ athamaki a ndũrĩrĩ. (Sheol h7585)
10 They all will commence and say unto thee, “Thou—thou also art become weak like us; similar unto us art thou become!”
Nao othe magaacookia, makwĩre atĩrĩ, “O nawe nĩwagĩte hinya o ta ithuĩ; ũhaanĩte o ta ithuĩ.”
11 Into the nether world is brought down thy pride, the clatter of thy psalteries: beneath thee is spread the worm, and thy cover is the moth. (Sheol h7585)
Riiri wothe wa ũnene waku ũikũrũkĩtio o nginya mbĩrĩra-inĩ, hamwe na mĩgambo ya inanda ciaku cia mũgeeto; igunyũ nĩcio ũkomeire, na igunyũ nocio ikũhumbĩire. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O morning-star, son of the dawn! how art thou hewn down to the ground, crusher of nations!
Hĩ! Kaĩ wee njata ya kĩwariĩ nĩũgwĩte ũkoima igũrũ-ĩ, o wee mũrũ wa rũciinĩ kĩroko gwakĩa! Ũharũrũkĩtio ũgaikio gũkũ thĩ, o wee ũrĩa hĩndĩ ĩmwe wahinyagĩrĩria ndũrĩrĩ!
13 And thou—thou hadst said in thy heart, “Into heaven will I ascend, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne; and I will sit also upon the mount of the assembly, in the farthest end of the north;
Wee weĩraga atĩrĩ na ngoro yaku, “Ngũhaica nginye igũrũ; na gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene ndĩkĩambararie gĩkĩre njata cia Mũrungu; na njikarĩre kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa gũtũnganwo, o gacũmbĩrĩ ga kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩamũre.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be equal to the Most High.”
Nĩngahaica nginya kũndũ kũraihu igũrũ rĩa matu, ndĩĩhaananie na Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.”
15 But into the nether world shalt thou be brought down, into the lowest depth. (Sheol h7585)
No rĩrĩ, wee ũharũrũkĩtio thĩ nginya mbĩrĩra-inĩ, ũgakinya irima kũrĩa kũriku. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee will gaze at thee, will regard thee well, [saying, ] “Is this the man that caused the earth to tremble, that made kingdoms quake?
Arĩa marĩkuonaga, marĩgũkũũragĩra maitho, magecũũrania ũhoro waku, makoorania atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe mũndũ ũrĩa wenyenyagia thĩ na agatũma mothamaki mainaine,
17 That rendered the world as a wilderness, and pulled down its cities: never opened the prison-house of his prisoners?”
mũndũ ũrĩa watũmire thĩ ĩtuĩke ta werũ, na akangʼaũrania matũũra mayo marĩa manene? Nĩwe ũrĩa ũtetĩkagĩria andũ arĩa oohe mainũke kwao mĩciĩ?”
18 All the kings of nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own [eternal] house.
Athamaki othe a ndũrĩrĩ makuĩte magakomio, o mũndũ mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake.
19 But thou—thou art cast out of thy grave like a discarded offshoot, as a garment of those that are slain, pierced by the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit, as a carcass trodden under foot.
No wee-rĩ, nĩgũteo ũtetwo kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ yaku, o ta rũhonge rũrĩ magigi; ũkahumbĩrwo nĩ ciimba cia arĩa moragĩtwo, arĩa matheecangĩtwo na hiũ cia njora, o acio maikĩtio irima rĩrĩ mahiga. Ũikarĩte ta kĩimba kĩrangĩrĩrie thĩ na magũrũ,
20 Thou shalt not be united with them in burial; because thy land hast thou destroyed, thy people hast thou slain: to eternity shall not be called the seed of evil-doers.
no wee-rĩ, ndũgaathikwo tao, tondũ nĩwaanangire bũrũri waku, na ũkĩũraga andũ aku. Rũciaro rwa andũ arĩa aaganu rũtikaagwetwo rĩngĩ.
21 Prepare for his children the slaughter, for the iniquity of their fathers: that they may not rise, and possess the land, and fill the face of the world with enemies [of mankind].
Haarĩriai handũ ha kũũragĩra ciana ciake, nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao ma tene; nĩguo itikanarahũke ciĩgaĩre bũrũri, na ciĩyakĩre matũũra maiyũre thĩ.
22 And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will cut off from Babylon name, and remnant, and son, and grandson, saith the Lord.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩngarahũka ndĩciũkĩrĩre, nĩngeheria rĩĩtwa rĩacio kũu Babuloni, o na rĩa matigari ma cio, o na njeherie ciana ciao na rũciaro rwao,” nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
23 I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.
“Nĩngatua kũndũ kũu gĩikaro kĩa ndundu, na ndĩgũtue bũrũri wa maria ma maaĩ; ngaakũhaata na kĩhato kĩa mwanangĩko,”
24 Sworn hath the Lord of hosts, saying, Surely as I have purposed, so doth it come to pass; and as I have resolved, so shall it occur:
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩehĩtĩte, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ, o ũrĩa thugundĩte, ũguo noguo gũgaatuĩka, na ũrĩa nduĩte, ũguo noguo gũgaikara.
25 To break Asshur in my own land, and upon my mountains will I tread him under foot; then shall his yoke be removed from off them, and his burden from off their shoulders.
Nĩngahehenja Mũashuri ũcio ũrĩ bũrũri-inĩ wakwa; ngaamũrangĩrĩria thĩ irĩma-inĩ ciakwa. Nĩngehereria andũ akwa icooki rĩake, na mũrigo wake ũmoime ciande-inĩ ciao.”
26 This is the resolve that is resolved over all the earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
Ũũ nĩguo thugundĩte gwĩka thĩ yothe; nakuo guoko kũrĩa gũtambũrũkĩirio ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩkuo gũkũ.
27 For the Lord of hosts hath resolved, and who shall frustrate it? and it is his hand which is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩguo atuĩte gwĩka, nũũ ũngĩhota kũmũgirĩrĩria? Guoko gwake nĩgũtambũrũkĩtio, nũũ ũngĩhota gũgũthuna?
28 In the year king Achaz died was this prophecy [given].
Atĩrĩrĩ, mwaka ũrĩa Mũthamaki Ahazu aakuire-rĩ, nĩguo ndũmĩrĩri ĩno yaguũranĩirio:
29 Rejoice not, thou entire Palestine, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent's root shall come forth an adder, and its fruit shall be a flying dragon.
Inyuĩ Afilisti inyuothe tigai gũkena, nĩ atĩ rũthanju rũrĩa rwamũhũũraga nĩrunĩkĩte; nĩgũkorwo kuuma mũri-inĩ wa nyoka ĩyo nĩgũkoima nduĩra, namo maciaro mayo magaatuĩka mũthemba wa nyoka ĩrĩ thumu ĩrĩa ĩticũkaga.
30 And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall rest in safety: and I will kill with famine thy root, and men shall slay thy remnant.
Nao andũ arĩa athĩĩni biũ nĩmakona gĩa kũrĩa, na mũbatari akomage atarĩ na ũgwati. No rũciaro rwaku nĩngarũũraga na ngʼaragu; nayo ĩkooraga matigari maku.
31 Wail, O gate; cry out, O city; thou art dissolved, O thou entire Palestine; for from the north a smoke is coming, and there is no one solitary among those that are bidden to come.
Wee kĩhingo-rĩ, girĩka! Na wee itũũra inene-rĩ, ugĩrĩria! Na inyuĩ Afilisti inyuothe mũniinwo nĩ guoya, mũthire biũ! Itu rĩa ndogo rĩrooka riumĩte mwena wa gathigathini, na gũtigakorwo na mũndũ ũgaatigwo na thuutha mbũtũ-inĩ ciake nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga hinya.
32 And what will each one of the messengers of the nation answer? That the Lord hath founded Zion; and that therein shall find protection the poor of his people.
Nĩ icookio rĩrĩkũ rĩkaaheanwo kũrĩ andũ arĩa matũmĩtwo a rũrĩrĩ rũu? Magaacookerio atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩahaandĩte Zayuni, na thĩinĩ wakuo andũ ake arĩa anyamaarĩku nĩmakona rĩũrĩro.”
