Isaiah 10
1 “Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
Kaĩ arĩa mathondekaga mawatho matarĩ ma kĩhooto marĩ na haaro-ĩ! o arĩa marutaga mawatho ma kũhinyanĩrĩria,
2 Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil the fatherless.
nĩguo mahotomie ciira wa andũ arĩa athĩĩni, na magirĩrĩrie kĩhooto kĩa andũ akwa arĩa mahinyĩrĩirio, na magatua atumia a ndigwa iguĩma rĩao, o na magatunya ciana cia ngoriai indo ciacio.
3 And what do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do you leave your glory?
Mũgeeka atĩa mũthenya wa ciira, rĩrĩa mũgaakorererwo nĩ mwanangĩko uumĩte kũraya? Mũkoorĩra kũrĩ ũ amũteithie? Ũtonga wanyu mũkaaũtiga kũ?
4 It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
Gũtirĩ ũndũ ũgaakorwo ũtigarĩte tiga kwĩnyiihia gatagatĩ ka mĩgwate, kana mũgũe gatagatĩ ka arĩa makuĩte. No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, marakara make matirĩ maraahũahũa, guoko gwake no gũtambũrũkĩtio o na rĩu.
5 “Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
“Kaĩ andũ a Ashuri marĩ na haaro-ĩ! o acio rũthanju rwa marakara makwa, na thimbũ ya mangʼũrĩ makwa!
6 I send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
Ndĩmatũmaga mookĩrĩre rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũtooĩ Ngai, ngamatũma mookĩrĩre andũ arĩa mandakaragia, nĩguo matunyane indo, na mahurie ndaho, na mamarangĩrĩrie ta ndoro ya njĩra-inĩ.
7 And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations—not a few.
No ũguo tiguo maciirĩire gwĩka, ũndũ ũyũ tiguo ũrĩ meciiria-inĩ mao, muoroto wao nĩ kwananga, na kũniina ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ biũ.
8 For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
Mũthamaki wa Ashuri aaragia, akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ anene akwa a ita othe ti athamaki?
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
Githĩ itũũra rĩa Kalino rĩtiekirwo o ta Karikemishi? O narĩo Hamathu-rĩ, githĩ rĩtiekirwo o ta Aripadi? Narĩo Samaria githĩ rĩtiekirwo o ta Dameski?
10 As my hand has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
O ta ũrĩa guoko gwakwa gwatunyanire mothamaki marĩa meigagĩra mĩhianano ya kũhooywo, o macio maarĩ mĩhianano mĩingĩ mĩicũhie gũkĩra ya Jerusalemu na ya Samaria-rĩ,
11 Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
githĩ ndigeeka Jerusalemu na mĩhianano yarĩo ya kũhooywo o ta ũrĩa ndeekire Samaria na mĩhianano yarĩo?’”
12 And it has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.
Mwathani aarĩkia wĩra wake wothe wa gũũkĩrĩra Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni na Jerusalemu-rĩ, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũherithia mũthamaki wa Ashuri nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩtĩĩo wa ngoro yake na mwĩtũũgĩrio wake, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa oonaga ta ekĩrĩirwo.
13 For he has said, “I have worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,
Nĩgũkorwo oigaga atĩrĩ: “‘Njĩkĩte ũguo na hinya wa guoko gwakwa, o na ũũgĩ wakwa, tondũ ndĩ na ũmenyo. Nĩndeheririe mĩhaka ya ndũrĩrĩ, na ngĩtaha igĩĩna ciao, na ta mũndũ ũrĩ na hinya-rĩ, nĩndatooririe athamaki ao.
14 And my hand gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”
O ta ũrĩa mũndũ akinyagĩra gĩtara, ũguo noguo guoko gwakwa gwakinyĩrire ũtonga ũcio wa ndũrĩrĩ; o ta ũrĩa andũ macookanagĩrĩria matumbĩ marĩa maatiganĩirio, ũguo noguo na niĩ ndacookanĩrĩirie mabũrũri mothe; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wabatabatirie ithagu rĩaguo, kana ũgĩathamia kanua kaguo ũkĩgamba.’”
15 Does the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!
Ithanwa-rĩ, rĩahota kwĩyambararia igũrũ rĩa ũrĩa ũtemaga mũtĩ narĩo, kana mũthumeno wĩtĩĩre ũrĩa ũũguucagia? Kaĩ rũthanju rũngĩkĩhiũria ũrĩa ũruoete na igũrũ, kana thimbũ ĩhiũrie ũrĩa ũtarĩ mbaũ!
16 Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As the burning of a fire.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩakarehera njamba ciake cia ita iria irĩ hinya mũrimũ wa kũhĩnja; na handũ ha kũhumbĩrwo nĩ riiri wake-rĩ, nĩ mwaki magaakĩrio ũrĩrĩmbũke ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ.
17 And the light of Israel has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
Ũtheri wa Isiraeli agaatuĩka mwaki, nake Ũrĩa Mũtheru wao atuĩke rũrĩrĩmbĩ. Ũgaakana na ũcine mĩigua yake na congʼe wake o mũthenya ũmwe.
18 And the glory of his forest, and his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
Nake nĩakaniina biũ riiri wa mĩtitũ yake, o hamwe na wa mĩgũnda yake ĩrĩa mĩnoru, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ mũrũaru ahĩnjaga agathirĩrĩkĩra.
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth writes them.
Nayo mĩtĩ ya mĩtitũ yake ĩgaatigara o mĩnini, atĩ o na mwana no andĩke mũigana wayo.
20 And it has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio andũ arĩa magaatigara a Isiraeli, o na arĩa makaahonoka a nyũmba ya Jakubu, matigacooka kwĩgiritania na ũcio wamahũũrĩte, no makegiritania na Jehova o ma, o we Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
21 A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.
Matigari nĩmagacooka, o macio matigari ma Jakubu-rĩ, nĩmagacookerera Mũrungu Mwene-Hinya.
22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
O na gũtuĩka andũ aku, wee Isiraeli maingĩhĩte ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ-rĩ, no matigari magaacooka kwao. Mwanangĩko naguo nĩwathanĩtwo, mwanangĩko wa kuonania atĩ itua rĩake nĩ rĩa kĩhooto kũna.
23 For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩwe ũkaananga bũrũri ũcio wothe ta ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo.
24 Therefore, thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in the way of Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Inyuĩ andũ akwa arĩa mũtũũraga Zayuni, mũtigetigĩre andũ a Ashuri, arĩa mamũhũũraga na rũthanju, na makamuoera njũgũma mamũũkĩrĩre ta ũrĩa mwekagwo Misiri.
25 For yet a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
Nĩgũkorwo no ihinda inini rĩtigaire marakara makwa igũrũ rĩanyu mathire, namo mangʼũrĩ makwa mamacookerere mamaniine.”
26 And YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in the way of Egypt.
Ningĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩakamahũũra na kĩboko, o ta ũrĩa Amidiani mekirwo rĩrĩa mooragĩirwo rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga rĩa Orebu; na nĩakambararia mũthĩgi wake igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, o ta ũrĩa eekire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri.
27 And it has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.
Mũthenya ũcio mũrigo wao nĩũkeherio ciande-inĩ ciaku, narĩo icooki rĩao rĩeherio ngingo-inĩ cianyu; icooki rĩu nĩrĩkoinangwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wee ũitĩrĩirio maguta.
28 He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
Nĩmaratoonya Aiathu; maratuĩkanĩria Migironi; o na maraiga igĩĩna ciao Mikimashi.
29 They have gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
Nao makĩhĩtũkĩra mũkuru-inĩ, makoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũtukũ ũyũ tũkũraarĩrĩra Geba.” Rama nĩkũinaina kũrainaina; nakuo Gibea itũũra rĩa Saũlũ nĩ kũũra rĩroora.
30 Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mwarĩ wa Galimu, uga mbu! Wee Laisha, thikĩrĩria! Nawe Anathothu, wũi-ĩ!
31 Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
Andũ a Madimena nĩ kũũra maroora; nao andũ a Gebimu nĩ kwĩhitha marehitha.
32 Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, The hill of Jerusalem.
Mũthenya wa ũmũthĩ marĩrũgama kũu Nobu; maramainainĩria ngundi marĩ kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, o kũu karĩma-inĩ ka Jerusalemu.
33 Behold, the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become low,
Atĩrĩrĩ, Mwathani, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩagaceeha honge na hinya mũnene. Mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene mũno nĩĩgatemwo, ĩgũithio thĩ, na ĩrĩa mĩraihu ĩnyiihio.
34 And He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
Nĩagatema ihinga cia mũtitũ na ithanwa; Lebanoni nĩĩkagũithio nĩ Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Hinya.
