Isaiah 58
1 “Call with the throat, do not restrain, lift up your voice as a horn, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
“Atĩrĩrĩ, anĩrĩra mũno, na ndũgakire. Anĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene o taarĩ karumbeta karagamba. Uumbũrĩre andũ akwa ũhoro wa ũremi wao, o na andũ a nyũmba ya Jakubu ũmoimbũrĩre mehia mao.
2 They seek Me day by day, And they desire the knowledge of My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness, And has not forsaken the judgment of its God, They ask of Me judgments of righteousness, They desire the drawing near of God:
Nĩgũkorwo manjaragia mũthenya o mũthenya; makonekaga ta mangĩenda mũno kũmenya njĩra ciakwa, ta marĩ rũrĩrĩ rwĩkaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire, na rũtatirikĩte maathani ma Ngai waruo. Mendaga ndĩmatuagĩre ciira wa kĩhooto, na makoneka makĩenda mũno Ngai amakuhĩrĩrie.
3 Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and You do not know. Behold, you find pleasure in the day of your fast, And exact all your laborers.
Moragia atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte twĩhinge kũrĩa irio, nawe ũkaaga kuona? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte twĩnyiihie, nawe ũkaaga kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio?’ “No rĩrĩ, mũthenya wanyu wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio mwĩkaga o ũrĩa mũkwenda, na aruti othe anyu a wĩra mũkamahinyĩrĩria.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness, You do not fast as [this] day, To sound your voice in the high place.
Kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio kwanyu kũrĩĩkagĩrĩria na ngũĩ na njũgitano, na mũkahũũrana na ngundi ta andũ aaganu. Kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio kwanyu kwa matukũ maya gũtingĩtũma mĩgambo yanyu ĩiguo kũu igũrũ.
5 Is this like the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow his head as a reed, And spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, And a desirable day—to YHWH?
Kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio kwa mũthemba ũcio wa mũndũ kwĩnyiihia mũthenya o ũmwe tu-rĩ, nĩkuo niĩ thuurĩte? Kwĩhinga no kũinamia mũtwe ta ithanjĩ, na gũkomera nguo ya ikũnia, o na mũhu? Kũu nĩkuo mwĩtaga kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio, na mũkawĩta mũthenya wa gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ Jehova?
6 Is this not the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And draw off every yoke?
“Githĩ mũthemba ũrĩa thuurĩte wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio ti ũyũ: kuohora arĩa moohetwo na njĩra ĩtarĩ ya kĩhooto, na kuohoraga mĩkwa ya icooki rĩa ngingo, na kũrekereria arĩa mahinyĩrĩirio, o na kuunanga macooki mothe ma ngingo?
7 Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, And bring home the wandering poor, That you see the naked and cover him, And do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Githĩ ti kũgayanaga irio ciaku na andũ arĩa ahũtu, na ũrehage athĩĩni arĩa matarĩ ũikaro gwaku mũciĩ, na rĩrĩa wona mũndũ arĩ njaga ũkamũhumba nguo, na ndũkanahutatĩre andũ arĩa mũrĩ a mũthiimo ũmwe nao?
8 Then your light breaks forth as the dawn, And your health springs up in haste, Your righteousness has gone before you, The glory of YHWH gathers you.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũtheri waku nĩũgaathera o ta ũrĩa gũtherũrũkaga rũciinĩ, nakuo kũhonio gwaku nĩgũkooneka o narua; ningĩ ũthingu waku nĩũgagũtongoria, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkuume thuutha, ũkũgitĩre.
9 Then you call, and YHWH answers, You cry, and He says, Behold Me. If you turn aside the yoke from your midst, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,
Ningĩ hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũgeetana, nake Jehova nĩagagwĩtĩka; nĩũgakaya ũteithio, nake nĩakoiga atĩrĩ: Ĩĩ niĩ ũyũ haha. “Ũngĩeheria icooki rĩa kũhinyanĩrĩria, na weherie kĩara kĩrĩa worotanaga nakĩo, na ndeto cia rũmena-rĩ,
10 And bring out your soul to the hungry, And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light has risen in the darkness, And your thick darkness [is] as noon.
ningĩ ũngĩĩrutĩra kũhũũnia andũ arĩa ahũtu, nao arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie ũmahingĩrie maũndũ marĩa mamabatairie, hĩndĩ ĩyo ũtheri waku nĩũgaathera kũu nduma-inĩ, naguo ũtukũ waku ũgaatuĩka o ta mũthenya barigici.
11 And YHWH continually leads you, And has satisfied your soul in drought, And He arms your bones, And you have been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters do not lie.
Jehova nĩarĩgũtoongoragia hĩndĩ ciothe, na nĩarĩkũhingagĩria mabataro maku ũrĩ bũrũri-inĩ mũũmũ, o na mahĩndĩ maku amekagĩre hinya. Ũkahaana ta mũgũnda unithĩirio maaĩ, ũtuĩke ta gĩthima kĩrĩa gĩtahũaga.
12 And they have built the ancient ruins from you, You raise up the foundations of many generations, And one calls you, Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.
Andũ aku nĩo magaacookereria kũrĩa kwaanangĩtwo o tene, na maakĩrĩre mĩthingi ĩrĩa ya tene mũno; nawe ũgeetagwo Mũcookereria wa Thingo iria Momoku, na wĩtagwo Mũcookereria wa Njĩra cia Itũũro.
13 If you turn your foot from the Sabbath, [From] doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And have cried to the Sabbath, A delight, To the holy of YHWH, Honored, And have honored it, without doing your own ways, Without finding your own pleasure, And speaking a word.
“Ũngĩgirĩrĩria magũrũ maku gũthũkia mũthenya wa Thabatũ, na wage gwĩka maũndũ maku we mwene mũthenya ũcio wakwa ũrĩa mwamũre, nayo Thabatũ ĩyo ũmĩtue mũthenya wa gĩkeno, na mũthenya ũcio mwamũre wa Jehova ũũtue wa gũtĩĩo-rĩ, na ũngĩũtĩĩa na kwaga kũrũmĩrĩra njĩra ciaku, na kwaga gwĩka maũndũ maku we mwene, o na kana kwaria ndeto cia tũhũ-rĩ,
14 Then you delight yourself on YHWH, And I have caused you to ride on high places of earth, And have caused you to eat the inheritance of your father Jacob, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken!”
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũgakena nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na nĩngatũma ũtũũgĩrio mũno gũkũ thĩ, na ngũheage igai rĩa thoguo Jakubu, ũrĩrĩĩage.” Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kanua ka Jehova kaarĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
