Isaiah 42
1 Behold, My servant, I take hold on Him, My Chosen One—My soul has accepted, I have put My Spirit on Him, He brings forth judgment to nations.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno nĩyo ndungata yakwa, ĩrĩa ndiiragĩrĩra, ĩrĩa ndĩthuurĩire na nĩyo ĩkenagia ngoro yakwa; nĩngamĩitĩrĩria Roho wakwa nayo nĩĩkarehithĩria ndũrĩrĩ ciira wa kĩhooto.
2 He does not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
Ndĩkaanĩrĩra kana ĩgũũthũke, kana mũgambo wayo ũiguuo kũu njĩra-inĩ.
3 A bruised reed He does not break, And faded flax He does not quench, He brings forth judgment to truth.
Kamũrangi kagondoku ndĩgakoina, kana ĩhorie rũtambĩ rwa ũguta rũrĩa rũratooga. Na nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku nĩĩgatuanĩra ciira na kĩhooto;
4 He does not become weak nor bruised, Until He sets judgment in the earth, And islands wait with hope for His law.
ndĩgaatithia kana ĩkue ngoro nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ĩgaatũma gũkũ thĩ kũgĩe ciira wa kĩhooto. Andũ arĩa matũũraga icigĩrĩra-inĩ makehoka watho wayo.”
5 Thus said God, YHWH, Creating the heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.
Jehova, Mũrungu witũ, ũrĩa wombire igũrũ na akĩrĩtambũrũkia, o we ũrĩa waraganirie thĩ na indo iria ciothe ciumaga kuo, na nĩwe ũheaga andũ a thĩ mĩhũmũ, na akahe arĩa maikaraga kuo muoyo, ekuuga atĩrĩ:
6 I, YHWH, called you in righteousness, And I lay hold on your hand, and keep you, And I give you for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
“Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ngwĩtĩte na njĩra ya ũthingu; nĩngakũnyiita guoko. Nĩngakũmenyagĩrĩra na ngũheane ũtuĩke wa kũrĩkanĩra kĩrĩkanĩro na andũ, o na ũtuĩke ũtheri wa gũtherera andũ a Ndũrĩrĩ,
7 To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth the bound one from prison, Those sitting in darkness from the house of restraint.
na nĩguo ũhingũrage atumumu maitho, na wohorithagie arĩa mohetwo ũmarute moime njeera, o nao arĩa maikarĩte nduma-inĩ ũmarekererie, moime korokoro-inĩ.
8 I [am] YHWH, this [is] My Name, And I do not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to carved images.
“Nĩ niĩ Jehova; rĩu nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩakwa! Naguo riiri wakwa ndikaũhe mũndũ ũngĩ, kana njĩtĩkĩre mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ĩheo ũgooci wakwa.
9 The former things, behold, have come, And I am declaring new things, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
Atĩrĩrĩ, maũndũ maarathirwo tene nĩmahingĩtio, na rĩu nĩ maũndũ merũ ngwanĩrĩra; na maũndũ macio matanakinya-rĩ, nĩndĩmũmenyithĩtie ũhoro wamo.”
10 Sing a new song to YHWH, His praise from the end of the earth, You who are going down to the sea, and its fullness, Islands, and their inhabitants.
Inĩrai Jehova rwĩmbo rwerũ, na mũmũgooce kuuma ituri-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ, inyuĩ mũikũrũkaga kũu iria-inĩ, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, o na inyuĩ icigĩrĩra, na arĩa othe matũũraga thĩinĩ wacio.
11 The wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], Kedar inhabits the villages, The inhabitants of Sela sing, They cry from the top of mountains.
Werũ na matũũra makuo nĩmanĩrĩre na mĩgambo; o na tũtũũra tũrĩa Kedari atũũraga nĩtũkũngũĩre. Andũ a Sela nĩmarekwo maine rwĩmbo nĩ gũkena; o na mũreke maanĩrĩre marĩ kũu irĩma-igũrũ.
12 They ascribe to YHWH glory, And they declare His praise in the islands.
Nĩmarekwo makumie Jehova, na maanĩrĩre ũgooci wake kũu icigĩrĩra-inĩ.
13 YHWH goes forth as a mighty one. He stirs up zeal as a man of war, He cries, indeed, He shrieks, He shows Himself mighty against His enemies.
Jehova nĩakoimagara athiĩ o ta njamba ĩrĩ hinya, na aarahũre kĩyo gĩake ta njamba ya ita; akaanĩrĩra na oigĩrĩrie mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara, na nĩagatooria thũ ciake.
14 I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain Myself, I cry out as a travailing woman, I desolate and swallow up together.
“Ihinda iraaya ngoretwo ngirĩte ki, ngegirĩrĩria gwĩka ũndũ. No rĩu-rĩ, ndĩrakaya ta mũtumia ũrarũmwo, ngateeha na ngahũma.
15 I make desolate mountains and hills, And I dry up all their herbs, And I have made rivers become islands, And I dry up ponds.
Nĩngananga irĩma na tũrĩma, na ndũme mĩmera ĩrĩa yothe ĩkũraga kuo yũme; nĩngatũma njũũĩ ituĩke icigĩrĩra na ndũme tũria tũhwe.
16 And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, I cause them to tread in paths they have not known, I make a dark place become light before them, And unleveled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.
Nao atumumu nĩngamagereria njĩra iria matooĩ, na ndĩmatoongorerie tũcĩra tũrĩa mataahũthĩrĩte gũthiĩra; nayo nduma nĩngamĩgarũra ĩtuĩke ũtheri mbere yao, nakuo kũndũ kũrĩa gũtarĩ kũigananu ndĩkwaraganie. Maũndũ macio nĩmo ngeeka, na ndikamatiganĩria.
17 Removed backward—utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a carved image, Those saying to a molten image, “You [are] our gods.”
No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa mehokete mĩhianano ya kũhooywo, o acio meraga mĩhianano ya gwacũhio atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ ngai ciitũ,’ nĩmakahũndũrwo na nĩmagaconorithio kũna.
18 You deaf, hear; and you blind, look to see.
“Inyuĩ mũtaiguaga, ta iguai, na inyuĩ atumumu-rĩ, ta cũthĩrĩriai, nĩguo muone!
19 Who [is] blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Indeed, blind, as the servant of YHWH?
Nũũ mũtumumu tiga o ndungata yakwa, o na kana nũũ ũtaiguaga ta mũtũmwo ũcio ndũmĩte? Nũũ mũtumumu ta ũrĩa wĩheanĩte biũ kũrĩ niĩ, na nũũ mũtumumu ta ndungata ya Jehova?
20 Seeing many things, and you do not observe, Opening ears, and he does not hear.
Nĩwonete maũndũ maingĩ, no ndũmarũmbũyagia; matũ maku nĩmahingũrĩtwo, no ndũrĩ ũndũ ũiguaga.”
21 YHWH has delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifies law, and makes honorable.
Jehova nĩonire arĩ wega atũũgĩrie watho wake na ũgĩe riiri nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wake.
22 And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes—all of them, And they were hidden in houses of restraint, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, “Restore.”
No rĩrĩ, andũ aya nĩmatahĩtwo na magatunywo indo, othe manyiitĩtwo na mĩtego marima-inĩ, o na makahithwo njeera thĩinĩ. Matuĩkĩte ta nyamũ cia kũguĩmwo, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩmahonokia; maikarĩte marĩ atahe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩmacookio kwao.”
23 Who among you gives ear [to] this? Attends, and hears afterward?
Nũũ wanyu ũgũthikĩrĩria ũhoro ũyũ, kana aũrũmbũiye mahinda marĩa magooka?
24 Who has given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not YHWH—He against whom we sinned? Indeed, they have not been willing to walk in His ways, Nor have they listened to His law.
Nũũ waneanire Jakubu atuĩke wa gũtahwo, na nũũ waneanire Isiraeli kũrĩ atunyani? Githĩ ti Jehova, o ũrĩa ithuĩ twĩhĩirie? Nĩgũkorwo andũ nĩmaregire gũthiĩ na njĩra ciake; nĩmagire gwathĩkĩra watho wake.
25 And He pours fury on him, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it sets him on fire all around, And he has not known, And it burns against him, and he does not lay it to heart!
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩamaitĩrĩirie marakara make mahiũ, na akĩmatharĩkĩra na mbaara. Maarigiicĩirio nĩ marakara mahaana ta nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki mĩena yothe, no-o matiigana kũmenya. Marakara macio makĩmacina, no matiigana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ ciao.
