Isaiah 17
1 The doom of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is deprived of being a city, and it shall become decaying ruins.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ Dameski: “Atĩrĩrĩ, itũũra rĩa Dameski rĩtigũcooka gũtuĩka itũũra inene rĩngĩ, no rĩrĩ, rĩgaatuĩka hĩba ya mwanangĩko.
2 Forsaken are the cities of 'Aro'er: they shall be [given up] to flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Matũũra marĩa manene ma Aroeri nĩmagatiganĩrio, matigĩrwo ndũũru cia mbũri iria igaakomaga kũu, gũtarĩ mũndũ wa gũcimakia.
3 And there shall cease the fortress from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: like the glory of the children of Israel shall they be, saith the Lord of hosts.
Kĩĩgitĩro kĩrĩa kĩrũmu kĩa Efiraimu nĩgĩkeherio, o na hinya wa ũthamaki weherio Dameski; namo matigari ma Suriata makaahaana o ta riiri wa andũ a Isiraeli,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
4 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the glory of Jacob shall vanish, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.
“Ihinda rĩu riiri wa Jakubu nĩ ũgaatheũka; naguo mwĩrĩ ũcio wake mũnoru ũhĩnje.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing-corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Gũkaahaana o ta rĩrĩa mũgethi acookanagĩrĩria ngano ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ ngethe, akagetha ngano na guoko gwake: gũkahaana ta mũndũ ũkũhaara itira cia ngano Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Refaimu.
6 And there shall be left on it gleaning-fruit, as one shaketh an olive-tree, two or three berries on the top of the uppermost bough, four or five on the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.
No rĩrĩ, nĩgũgatigwo ngano ĩngĩhaarwo, o ta ũrĩa maciaro ma mũtamaiyũ matangĩitĩka mothe mũtĩ ũcio ũngĩinainio, no ndamaiyũ igĩrĩ kana ithatũ nĩitigaraga honge-inĩ iria irĩ igũrũ gacũmbĩrĩ, o na inya kana ithano igatigara honge-inĩ iria irĩ na maciaro maingĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga.
7 On that day shall a man turn his regard up to his Maker, and his eyes shall look toward the Holy One of Israel.
Mũthenya ũcio, andũ magaacũthĩrĩria Ũrĩa Mũũmbi wao, namo maitho mao marore Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
8 And he shall not turn his regard to the altars, the work of his hands; and he shall not look at what his fingers have made, both the groves and the sun-images.
Matigacũthĩrĩria igongona iria mathondekete na moko mao, na matikarũmbũiya itugĩ cia Ashera, na magongona marĩa methondekeire ma gũcinĩra ũbumba.
9 On that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken ruin in a forest, and on a mountain-peak, which they left because of the children of Israel: and the land shall be desolate.
Mũthenya ũcio matũũra mao manene marĩa marĩ hinya, marĩa maatiganĩirio makĩũrĩra andũ a Isiraeli, makahaana ta kũndũ gũtiganĩrie gũgatuĩka gĩthaka, na gũgakũra mahuti. Namo matũũra macio magaakira ihooru.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and the rock of thy strength thou hast not remembered; therefore wouldst thou plant luxuriant plantings, and wouldst set out the shoots of the stranger therein.
Nĩmũriganĩirwo nĩ Ngai, Mũhonokia wanyu; nĩmwagĩte kũririkana Rwaro rũu rwa Ihiga, o rũu kĩĩgitĩro kĩanyu. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na mũngĩkahaanda mĩmera ĩrĩa mĩega mũno, na mũhaande mĩthabibũ ya kuuma kũndũ kũngĩ,
11 [Already] on the day that thou plantedst thou causedst to grow, and in the morning thou madest thy seed to blossom; but now fleeth the harvest on the day of disease and of incurable pain.
o na mũngĩgaatũma ĩkũre mũthenya o ro ũcio mũkaamĩhaanda, o na rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ mũtũme ĩrute kĩro-rĩ, gũtirĩ magetha mũkoona mũthenya ũcio wa mũrimũ na ruo rũtangĩthira.
12 Woe to the raging of many people, who rage like the raging of the seas; and to the noise of nations, that make a noise like the roar of mighty waters!
Ĩiya-ĩ, mũrurumo wa ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, iraruruma ta iria rĩkĩhuhũkania! Ĩiya-ĩ, inegene rĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩranegena, o ta mũrurumo wa maaĩ maingĩ.
13 The nations will make a noise like the roaring of many waters; but He will rebuke it, and it shall flee afar off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and as thistle-down before the tempest.
O na gũtuĩka ndũrĩrĩ iranegena na mũrurumo ta wa ndiihũ cia maaĩ maingĩ-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa we mwene aacikũũma, ciũraga igathiĩ kũndũ kũraya mũno, ihurutĩtwo nĩ rũhuho ta ũrĩa mũũngũ ũrĩ irĩma-inĩ ũmbũragwo, kana ta riya rĩgĩthiũrũrũkio nĩ rũhuho rũnene.
14 At eveningtide, behold, there is trouble; before yet it is morning it is no more. This is the portion of our spoilers, and the lot of those that plunder us.
Hwaĩ-inĩ, o rĩmwe gũkagĩa kĩmako kĩnene! Gũtanakĩa-rĩ, andũ matirĩ ho! Rĩu nĩrĩo igai rĩa andũ arĩa matũtunyaga indo ciitũ, ũcio nĩguo mũtĩ ũrĩa ũgwĩrĩire andũ arĩa matũtahaga indo ciitũ.
