< Isaiah 22 >
1 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What is [troubling] you now, that you have gone up, All of you—to the roofs?
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ Gĩtuamba gĩa Kĩoneki: Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩ kĩĩ kĩragũthĩĩnia rĩu, tondũ andũ aku othe marahaica nyũmba igũrũ,
2 Full of stirs—a noisy city—an exulting city, Your pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor dead in battle.
wee itũũra rĩiyũrĩte ngũĩ, o wee itũũra inene rĩa mbugĩrĩrio na ũrĩĩu? Andũ aku arĩa makuĩte matiũragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, kana magakuĩra mbaara-inĩ.
3 All your rulers fled from the bow together, All found of you have been bound, They have been kept bound together, They have fled far off.
Atongoria aku othe nĩmorĩte marĩ hamwe; maatahirwo o na hatarĩ mũguĩ ũikĩtio. Andũ aku othe arĩa maakorereirwo moohirwo hamwe, o acio mooraga thũ ĩrĩ o kũraya.
4 Therefore I said, “Look [away] from me, I am bitter in my weeping, do not hurry to comfort me, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Njeherera; reke ndĩre ngĩgirĩkaga. Ndũkagerie kũũhooreria igũrũ rĩa mwanangĩko ũrĩa ũkorete andũ akwa.”
5 For a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, In the Valley of Vision, digging down a wall, And crying to the mountain.
Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, arĩ na mũthenya ũrĩa agaatũma ũtuĩke wa mbugĩrĩrio, na wa kũranganĩrĩria, o na wa kũguoyohia kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Kĩoneki. Mũthenya ũcio ũgaakorwo ũrĩ wa kũmomora thingo igwe thĩ, na wa gũkaĩra irĩma.
6 And Elam has carried a quiver, In a chariot of men—horsemen, And Kir has exposed a shield.
Andũ a Elamu nĩmakuuĩte thiaka wa mĩguĩ, marĩ na ngaari cia ita na andũ mahaicĩte mbarathi; o nao andũ a Kiri macuurũragia ngo.
7 And it comes to pass, The choice of your valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen diligently place themselves at the gate.
Ituamba ciaku iria njega mũno ciyũrĩte ngaari cia ita, nao andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi maigĩtwo ihingo-inĩ cia itũũra inene;
8 And one removes the covering of Judah, And in that day you look To the armor of the house of the forest,
naguo ũgitĩri wa Juda nĩweheretio. Mũthenya ũcio nĩmwacũthĩrĩirie indo cia mbaara iria ciarĩ Nyũmba-inĩ ya Ũnene ya Mũtitũ;
9 And you have seen the breaches of the City of David, For they have become many, And you gather the waters of the lower pool,
mũkĩona atĩ thingo cia ũgitĩri cia Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi nĩciatharũkĩte kũndũ kũingĩ; na inyuĩ mũkĩhingĩrĩria maaĩ Karia ka Mũhuro.
10 And you numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And you break down the houses to fortify the wall.
Nĩmwatarire nyũmba kũu Jerusalemu, na mũgĩtharia nyũmba nĩguo muone mahiga ma gũcookereria rũthingo rũgĩe na hinya makĩria.
11 And you made a ditch between the two walls, For the waters of the old pool, And you have not looked to its Maker, And you have not seen its Framer of old.
Nĩmwakire handũ ha kũhingĩrĩria maaĩ gatagatĩ ga thingo cierĩ, nĩgeetha maaĩ ma Karia ga Tene mathiiage ho, no mũtiigana kũrongooria Ũrĩa wagathondekire, kana mũrũmbũiye Ũrĩa watũmire kagĩe ho kuuma o tene.
12 And the Lord calls, YHWH of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of sackcloth,
Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩamwĩtire mũthenya ũcio nĩguo mũrĩre na mũgirĩke, na mwenjwo njuĩrĩ cianyu na mwĩhumbe nguo cia ikũnia.
13 And behold, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine, Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ na gĩkeno na ũrĩĩu, mũrathĩnja ngʼombe na ngʼondu, mũkĩrĩĩaga nyama na mũkĩnyuuaga ndibei! Mũgakiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũrĩe na tũnyue, nĩgũkorwo rũciũ nĩtũgaakua!”
14 And it has been revealed in my ears, [By] YHWH of Hosts: This iniquity is not pardoned to you, Until you die, said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩanguũrĩirie ũhoro ũyũ ndĩmũthikĩrĩirie, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩhia rĩrĩ mũtikahoroherio nginya mũgaakua,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga.
15 Thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Go forth, go to this steward, To Shebna, who [is] over the house:
Na rĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Thiĩ kũrĩ Shebina, ũrĩa mũramati na mũrũgamĩrĩri wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ:
16 What are you [doing] here? And who has [allowed] you here? That you have hewn out a tomb for yourself here? Hewing his tomb on high, Carving a dwelling for himself in a rock.
Ũreka atĩa gũkũ na nũũ ũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie kwĩyenjera mbĩrĩra gũkũ, ũgetemera mbĩrĩra handũ hatũũgĩru, na ũkeyacũhĩria harĩa ũkaahurũkio rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga?
17 Behold, YHWH is casting you up and down, A casting up and down, O mighty one,
“Wĩhũũge, tondũ Jehova akiriĩ gũkũnyiita akũrũmĩtie, acooke akũnyugute, wee mũndũ ũyũ ũrĩ hinya.
18 And your coverer covering, wrapping around, Wraps you around, O babbler, On a land of broad sides—there you die, And there the chariots of your glory [are] the shame of the house of your lord.
Nĩagagũkũnja akũrũmie o ta mũbira, agũikie bũrũri mwariĩ. Kũu nĩkuo ũgaakuĩra, na nokuo ngaari ciaku cia ita iria irĩ riiri igaikara: wee ũconorithagia nyũmba ya mwathi waku!
19 And I have thrust you from your station, And he throws you down from your office.
Nĩngakũingata wehere wĩra-inĩ waku na ũtunywo wĩra ũcio ũrũgamĩrĩire.
20 And it has come to pass in that day, That I have called to My servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
“Mũthenya ũcio nĩngeeta ndungata yakwa, Eliakimu mũrũ wa Hilikia.
21 And I have clothed him with your coat, And I strengthen him with your girdle, And I give your garment into his hand, And he has been for a father to the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.
Nĩngamũhumba nguo yaku ĩrĩa ndaaya na ndĩmũhotore mũcibi waku, na ndĩmũnengere wathani waku. Nĩagatuĩka ithe wa arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu o na wa nyũmba ya Juda.
22 And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he has opened, and none is shutting, And has shut, and none is opening.
Kĩhingũro kĩa nyũmba ya Daudi ngaakĩigĩrĩra kĩande-inĩ gĩake; na rĩrĩ, kĩrĩa gĩothe akaahingũra gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũhinga, na kĩrĩa gĩothe akaahinga gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũhingũra.
23 And I have fixed him [as] a nail in a steadfast place, And he has been for a throne of glory To the house of his father.
Ngaamuoherera handũ harũmu aikare ho ta higĩ hũũrĩrĩre; atuĩke gĩtĩ gĩa gĩtĩĩo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ithe.
24 And they have hanged on him All the glory of the house of his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons.
Nĩwe ũgaacookererwo nĩ riiri wothe wa nyũmba ya ithe ta ũcuurĩtio harĩ we: ciana ciake na iria ikeyongerera thĩinĩ wa ciana icio, o indo ciothe ciayo iria cionekaga ta itarĩ kĩene, kuuma mbakũri nginya mĩthemba yothe ya ndigithũ.”
25 In that day—a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, The nail that is fixed is moved In a steadfast place, Indeed, it has been cut down, and has fallen, And the burden that [is] on it has been cut off, For YHWH has spoken!”
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio higĩ ĩrĩa thecerere handũ harũmu nĩĩkenyenya; nĩĩkamunyũka ĩgwe, na indo iria njuurie harĩ yo nĩikaharagana.” Jehova nĩwe warĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
