< Isaiah 27 >

1 In that day YHWH lays a charge, With His sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He has slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio, Jehova nĩakaherithia na rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, rũhiũ rũu rwake rwa njora rũũgĩ, na rũnene, na rũrĩ hinya, aherithie Leviathani nyoka ĩrĩa ĩnyororokaga na ihenya, o Leviathani nyoka ĩrĩa ĩĩthioranagia; nĩakooraga ndamathia ĩrĩa ya iria-inĩ.
2 In that day respond to her, “A desirable vineyard,
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ: “Inĩrai mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ ũrĩa ũciaraga maciaro maingĩ:
3 I, YHWH, am its keeper, I water it every moment, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
Niĩ Jehova, nĩ niĩ ndĩũmenyagĩrĩra, na nĩ niĩ ndĩunithagĩria maaĩ hĩndĩ ciothe. Ndĩũrangagĩra mũthenya na ũtukũ, nĩgeetha mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndakaũthũkie.
4 Fury is not in Me; Who gives Me a brier—a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
Niĩ ndirakarĩte. Naarĩ korwo nĩ congʼe na mĩigua iranjũkĩrĩra! No thiĩ ngahũũrane mbaara nacio; Ingĩcicina ciothe na mwaki.
5 Or—he takes hold on My strength, [That] he makes peace with Me, [And] he makes peace with Me.”
Akorwo ti ũguo, nĩirekwo ciũke ciĩhithe kũrĩ niĩ; nĩirekwo icarie thayũ na niĩ, ĩĩ ti-itherũ nĩicarie thayũ na niĩ.”
6 He causes those coming in to take root, Jacob blossoms, and Israel has flourished, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
Matukũ marĩa magooka-rĩ, Jakubu nĩakagĩa na mĩri, Isiraeli agaathundũka arute kĩro, aiyũrie thĩ yothe maciaro.
7 Has He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
Anga Jehova nĩahũũrĩte Isiraeli, ta ũrĩa aahũũrire arĩa maamũhũũraga? Anga nĩoragĩtwo ta ũrĩa arĩa maamũũragaga mooragirwo?
8 In measure, in sending it forth, you strive with it, He has taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
Wamũrũithirie na mbaara na gũtahwo: amũingataga na rũhuho rwake rwa hinya, ta mũthenya ũrĩa rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro rũhurutanaga.
9 Therefore the iniquity of Jacob is covered by this, And this [is] all the fruit—To take away his sin, In his setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They do not rise—Asherim and images.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, mahĩtia ma Jakubu nĩmakahoroherio mathire, namo maciaro maya nĩmo makoonekana nĩ ũndũ wa kwehererio mehia make: Atĩ mahiga mothe ma kĩgongona akaamatua ta coka ũhehenjetwo ũgatuĩka tũcunjĩ, na gũtirĩ itugĩ cia Ashera kana igongona cia gũcinĩra ũbumba igaatigwo irũgamĩte.
10 For the fortified city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There the calf delights, And there it lies down, And has consumed its branches.
Itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩirigĩre na hinya rĩkirĩte ihooru, kĩrĩ gĩikaro gĩthaamĩtwo, gĩgatiganĩrio kĩrĩ ũtheri ta werũ; kũu nĩkuo njaũ irĩithagio, na nokuo ikomaga; nacio ihũrũraga honge ciakuo gũgatigwo ũtheri.
11 In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in [and] setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore its Maker does not pity it, And its Former does not favor it.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tũrũhonge tuoma-rĩ, nĩkunangwo tuunangagwo, nao andũ-a-nja magooka magaakia mwaki natuo. Na tondũ aya nĩ andũ matarĩ na ũmenyo-rĩ, ũcio Mũũmbi wao ndamaiguagĩra tha, ũcio wamoombire ndamekaga wega.
12 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH beats out from the branch of the river, To the stream of Egypt, And you are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
Mũthenya ũcio Jehova nĩagacookanĩrĩria maciaro marĩa agethete, amarute kũrĩa guothe Rũũĩ rwa Farati rũthereraga, o nginya Karũũĩ ka Misiri, na inyuĩ o inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, nĩmũgacookanĩrĩrio ũmwe kwa ũmwe.
13 And it has come to pass in that day, It is blown with a great horn, And those perishing in the land of Asshur have come in, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to YHWH, In the holy mountain—in Jerusalem!
Na mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, mũgambo mũnene wa karumbeta nĩũkaiguuo. Nao andũ arĩa moorĩire bũrũri wa Ashuri, na arĩa maatahĩtwo magatwarwo Misiri, nĩmagooka na mahooe Jehova marĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa gĩtheru kũu Jerusalemu.
