Isaiah 45
1 Thus said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not shut:
Atĩrĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Jehova areera Kurusu, ũrĩa wake mũitĩrĩrie maguta, o ũcio niĩ nyitĩte guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo nĩguo ndoorie ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ mbere yake, na njaũre athamaki indo ciao cia mbaara, nĩgeetha ndĩmũhingũrĩre mĩrango mbere yake, na nĩguo ndakanakore ihingo ihingĩtwo:
2 “I go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
Nĩngagũtongoria na nĩngaragania irĩma; nĩngoinanga ihingo cia gĩcango, na ndinangie mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
3 And have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on your name—[am] the God of Israel.
Nĩngakũhe igĩĩna iria ihithĩtwo nduma-inĩ, ngũhe ũtonga ũrĩa mũhithe, nĩguo ũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa ũgwĩtĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
4 For the sake of My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, And you have not known Me.
Nĩngwĩtĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yakwa Jakubu, o na nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli ũcio niĩ ndĩthuurĩire, na ngakũhe rĩĩtwa rĩa gĩtĩĩo, o na gũtuĩka wee ndũnjũũĩ.
5 I [am] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird you, and you have not known Me.
Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ; tiga niĩ gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ. Nĩndĩrĩkuongagĩrĩra hinya, o na gũtuĩka wee ndũnjũũĩ,
6 So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, and there is none else,
nĩgeetha kuuma irathĩro rĩa riũa nginya ithũĩro rĩarĩo, andũ mamenye atĩ gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ.
7 Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing all these things.
Nĩ niĩ ndũmaga kũgĩe ũtheri, o na ngatũma kũgĩe nduma, nĩ niĩ ndehaga ũgaacĩru na ngatũma kũgĩe mwanangĩko; Nĩ niĩ, Jehova, ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio mothe.
8 Drop, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, have created it.
“Atĩrĩrĩ inyuĩ matu ma igũrũ, urĩriai thĩ ũthingu; o na inyuĩ matu ma mbura itĩrĩriai thĩ ũthingu. Thĩ nayo nĩyathamie kanua, naguo ũhonokio nĩũkunũke, ũmere, ũkũranĩre na ũthingu. Niĩ Jehova-rĩ, nĩ niĩ ndũmĩte igĩe kuo.
9 Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, He has no hands?
“Ũrĩa ũgianaga na Mũmũũmbi, kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Ũcio ahaana o ta rũgĩo thĩinĩ wa ngĩĩo iria irĩ thĩ. Rĩũmba rĩahota kũũria ũrĩa ũmbaga indo narĩo atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu ũromba?’ O na kana wĩra waku no uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ndarĩ na moko’?
10 Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you bring forth?”
Hĩ, kaĩ ũrĩa ũragia ithe atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu wagĩire?’ kana akooria nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu waciara?’ Kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ!
11 Thus said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.
“Jehova, Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, na Mũũmbi wake, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ maũndũ marĩa magooka-rĩ, anga no mũkĩnjũũrie ũhoro wa ciana ciakwa, kana mũnjathĩre wĩra wa moko makwa?
12 I made earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the heavens, And I have commanded all their host.
Nĩ niĩ ndombire thĩ, na ngĩũmba andũ arĩa marĩ kuo. Moko makwa nĩmo maatambũrũkirie kũu igũrũ, na ngĩatha mbũtũ cia igũrũ igĩe ho.
13 I have stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH of Hosts.
Nĩngarahũra Kurusu nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wakwa: Nĩngatũma mĩthiĩre yake ĩrũngĩrĩre. We nĩagaaka itũũra rĩakwa rĩrĩa inene rĩngĩ, na ohorithie andũ akwa arĩa matahĩtwo, no rĩrĩ, matikarutĩrwo kĩndũ gĩa kũmakũũra kana marutĩrwo kĩheo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
14 Thus said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Maciaro ma bũrũri wa Misiri, na indo cia wonjorithia cia Kushi, o na andũ acio araihu a Sabea, nĩmagooka kũrĩ we matuĩke aku; nĩmagakuuma thuutha, na moke kũrĩ we mohetwo na mĩnyororo. Nĩmagakũinamĩrĩra, magũthaithe, makwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ Mũrungu arĩ hamwe nawe, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga we; ti-itherũ gũtirĩ ngai ĩngĩ.’”
15 Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—Savior!
Ti-itherũ wee ũrĩ Mũrungu ũrĩa ũikaraga ehithĩte, Wee Ngai na Mũhonokia wa Isiraeli.
16 They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in confusion.
Arĩa othe mathondekaga mĩhianano ya kũhooywo nĩmagaconorithio na manyararithio; makoimagara mathiĩ manyararithio othe hamwe.
17 Israel has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
No rĩrĩ, Isiraeli nĩakahonokio nĩ Jehova na ũhonokio wake ũrĩa ũtũũraga tene na tene; wee ndũgaconorithio kana ũnyararithio nginya tene na tene.
18 For thus said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, and there is none else.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ũcio wombire igũrũ, o we Ngai, o ũcio wombire thĩ na akĩmĩthondeka, agĩcooka akĩmĩrũmia wega; na ndaamĩũmbire ĩtũũre ĩrĩ ũtheri, no aamĩũmbire ĩtũũragwo nĩ andũ; we ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
Ndirĩ ndaaria na hitho, ndĩ handũ bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩ nduma; ndirĩ ndeera njiaro cia Jakubu atĩrĩ, ‘Nongoriai o ũguo tũhũ.’ Niĩ Jehova, njaragia ũhoro wa ma; nyumbũraga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire.
20 Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not save.
“Cookanĩrĩrai hamwe, mũũke; ũnganai, inyuĩ arĩa mũũrĩte kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ. Kwaga ũmenyi-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa makuuaga mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ya mĩtĩ, na makahooya ngai itangĩhota kũmahonokia.
21 Declare, and bring near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except Me.
Umbũrai ũhoro wa ũrĩa gũgaikara, na mũũheane, na andũ marekwo maciire marĩ hamwe. Nũũ waheanire ũhoro ũyũ kuuma o tene? Ningĩ nũũ waumbũrĩte matukũ-inĩ macio ma tene mũno? Githĩ ti niĩ, niĩ Jehova? Gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ tiga niĩ, Mũrungu mũthingu na Mũhonokia; ti-itherũ gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.
22 Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ ituri ciothe cia thĩ, njookererai mũhonokio, nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩ niĩ Mũrungu, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.
23 I have sworn by Myself, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
Nĩndĩhĩtĩte ngĩĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa niĩ mwene, naguo ũhoro ũkoima kanua gakwa na kĩhooto, naguo ndũkagarũrũka o na atĩa: Maru mothe nĩmagaturio mbere yakwa; nacio nĩmĩ ciothe nĩcikeehĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
24 Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
Nĩmakaaria ũhoro wakwa, moige atĩrĩ, ‘Ũthingu na hinya cionekaga harĩ Jehova o we wiki.’” Andũ arĩa othe maarakarire makĩmũũkĩrĩra, nĩmagooka harĩ we maconorithio.
25 In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
No njiaro ciothe cia Isiraeli nĩikoonekaga irĩ na ũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na nĩigakena mũno.
