Isaiah 24
1 Behold, YHWH is emptying the earth, And is making it desolate, And has overturned [it on] its face, And has scattered its inhabitants.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova akirie kwananga thĩ, na atũme ĩkire ihooru; nake nĩakamĩũnũha na ahurunje arĩa matũũraga kuo:
2 And it has been—as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maidservant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
gũgaakorwo kũrĩ ũndũ o ũmwe kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na kũrĩ andũ, kũrĩ ndungata na kũrĩ mũmĩathi, kũrĩ ndungata ya mũirĩtu na kũrĩ mũtumia ũrĩa mũmĩathi, kũrĩ mwendia wa indo na kũrĩ mũgũri, kũrĩ mũkoombi na kũrĩ mũkoombanĩri, kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na thiirĩ na kũrĩ ũrĩa ũrandũraga thiirĩ.
3 The earth is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH has spoken this word:
Thĩ nĩ kwanangwo ĩkaanangwo na ĩtigwo ĩrĩ ũtheri biũ. Jehova nĩwe warĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
4 The earth has mourned, faded, The world has languished, faded, They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.
Thĩ ĩngʼarĩte ĩkahooha, mabũrũri mothe magathirĩrĩkĩra na makahooha, andũ arĩa marĩ ngumo a thĩ nĩmorĩtwo nĩ hinya.
5 And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a perpetual covenant.
Thĩ nĩngwatie thaahu nĩ andũ ayo; nao maremeire mawatho, na makaagarara irĩra, na magathũkia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene.
6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, And the inhabitants in it become desolate, Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, And few men have been left.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩrumi nĩkĩrarĩa thĩ; na andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo makaherithio nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhia wao. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa matũũraga gũkũ thĩ nĩmacinĩtwo na mwaki, na nĩ anini mũno matigaire.
7 The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, All the joyful of heart have sighed.
Ndibei ĩrĩa ya mũhihano nĩ thiru, nayo mĩthabibũ ĩkahooha; nao andũ arĩa marĩ ikeno-inĩ no gũcaaya maracaaya.
8 The joy of tambourines has ceased, The noise of exulting ones has ceased, The joy of a harp has ceased.
Gĩkeno kĩrĩa kiumanaga na kũhũũrwo gwa tũhembe nĩgĩtigĩte gũkenwo, narĩo inegene rĩa andũ arĩa arĩĩu nĩrĩthirĩte, ningĩ gĩkeno kĩrĩa gĩkenagwo gũkĩhũũrwo kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto nĩgĩkirĩtio.
9 They do not drink wine with a song, Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it.
Andũ arĩa manyuuaga ndibei matigacooka kũnyua makĩinaga rwĩmbo, nayo njoohi nĩĩrũrĩire arĩa mamĩnyuuaga.
10 It was broken down—a city of emptiness, Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.
Narĩo itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩanangĩku rĩkirĩte ihooru, namo matoonyero ma nyũmba ciothe nĩmahinge.
11 In out-places [is] a cry over the wine, All joy has been darkened, The joy of the land has been removed.
Kũu njĩra-inĩ andũ nĩ kũrĩra mararĩra nĩ kwaga ndibei, gĩkeno gĩothe gĩtuĩkĩte kĩeha, nacio ikeno ciothe igathira thĩ.
12 Desolation [is] left in the city, And the gate is struck [with] ruin.
Itũũra rĩrĩa inene nĩrĩanange biũ, nakĩo kĩhingo kĩarĩo kiunangĩtwo gĩgatuĩka tũcunjĩ.
13 When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the surrounding of the olive, As gleanings when harvest has been finished,
O ta ũrĩa mũtĩ wa mũtamaiyũ ũikaraga wainainio, na o ta ũrĩa mũtĩ wa mũthabibũ ũikaraga thabibũ ciahaarwo hĩndĩ ya magetha, ũguo noguo ũhoro ũgaikara gũkũ thĩ na ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe.
14 They lift up their voice, They sing of the excellence of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
Maranĩrĩra, makoigĩrĩria nĩ gũkena; kuuma mwena wa ithũĩro marakũngũĩra ũnene wa Jehova.
15 Therefore honor YHWH in prosperity, In islands of the sea, the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio inyuĩ andũ a kuuma mwena wa irathĩro gocithiai Jehova; nenehiai rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, kũu icigĩrĩra-inĩ cia iria.
16 From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, “Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.” Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Indeed, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
Nĩtũiguĩte nyĩmbo ikĩinwo kuuma ituri cia thĩ, ikainwo atĩrĩ: “Arogoocwo ũcio Mũthingu.” No niĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndĩ na haaro-ĩ! nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩrahiinyĩrĩrĩka, ĩĩ ti-itherũ nĩndĩrahiinyĩrĩrĩka! Andũ arĩa akunyanĩri nĩmarakunyanĩra arĩa angĩ, o acio akunyanĩri magakunyanĩra arĩa angĩ na ũkunyanĩri mũnene mũno!”
17 Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [Are] on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ arĩa mũtũũraga thĩ, iguoyohia, na irima, o na mũtego nĩcio imwetereire.
18 And it has come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear falls into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the trap, For windows have been opened on high, And foundations of the earth are shaken.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkoora nĩ ũndũ wa iguoyohia, akaagũa irima, nake ũrĩa ũkoimĩra irima rĩu-rĩ, akaagwatio nĩ mũtego ũcio. Ndirica cia mũiyũro wa maaĩ cia igũrũ nĩhiingũre, nacio itina cia thĩ igathingitha.
19 The earth has been utterly broken down, The earth has been utterly broken, The earth has been utterly moved.
Thĩ nĩnjatũku, yatũkĩte ĩkarekania, ningĩ nĩĩrathingitha mũno mũno.
20 The earth staggers greatly as a drunkard, And it has been moved as a lodge, And its transgression has been heavy on it, And it has fallen, and does not add to rise.
Thĩ ĩratũgũga o ta mũrĩĩu, ĩgathũngũthio ũũ na ũũ o ta gĩthũnũ hĩndĩ ya rũhuho; mehia ma ũremi wayo nĩmamĩritũhĩire mũno, kũgũa nĩĩkũgũa na ndĩgaacooka gwĩtiiria rĩngĩ.
21 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH lays a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the earth on the earth.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, Jehova nĩakaherithia maahinya ma kũu igũrũ, o kũu matu-inĩ, na aherithie athamaki a thĩ ĩno.
22 And they have been gathered—A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And they have been shut up in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
Nĩmagacookanĩrĩrio hamwe o ta ũrĩa andũ oohe macookanagĩrĩrio kĩoho-inĩ; makaahingĩrwo njeera na thuutha wa matukũ maingĩ nĩmakaherithio.
23 And the moon has been confounded, And the sun has been ashamed, For YHWH of Hosts has reigned In Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And before His elderly—glory!
Mweri nĩũgaconorithio, na riũa rĩconoke; nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũgaathamaka arĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni na Jerusalemu, na mbere ya athuuri akuo, athamake arĩ na riiri.
