Isaiah 56
1 Thus says Jehovah, "Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tũũrai mũtuanagĩra ciira wa kĩhooto, na mwĩkage maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire, nĩgũkorwo ũhonokio wakwa nĩũkuhĩrĩirie, o naguo ũthingu wakwa ũrĩ hakuhĩ kũguũranĩrio.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio, o mũndũ ũrĩa ũrũmagia maũndũ macio mũno, na ũrĩa ũmenyagĩrĩra thabatũ atekũmĩthaahia, na akagirĩrĩria guoko gwake gwĩka ũũru.”
3 Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, "Jehovah will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Look, I am a dry tree."
Mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũrĩa wĩnyiitanĩtie na Jehova ndakanoige atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Jehova nĩakanyamũrania, andigithanie na andũ ake.” O na kana mũndũ ũrĩa mũhakũre arekwo oige atĩrĩ, “Niĩ haana o ta mũtĩ mũũmũ.”
4 For thus says Jehovah, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ha ũhoro wa andũ arĩa ahakũre arĩa mamenyagĩrĩra thabatũ ciakwa, na magathuura gwĩka maũndũ marĩa mangenagia, na makarũmia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa-rĩ,
5 to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
nĩngamahe handũ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yakwa na thingo-inĩ ciayo, na ndũme maririkanagwo na magĩe igweta rĩega mũno gũkĩra andũ arĩa marĩ na ciana cia aanake na cia airĩtu; o na ningĩ nĩngamahe rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa magaatũũra meetagwo nginya tene na tene, rĩrĩa rĩtagacooka kũriganĩra.
6 Also the foreigners who join themselves to Jehovah, to minister to him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant;
Andũ a kũngĩ arĩa menyiitanĩtie na Jehova nĩguo mamũtungatagĩre, o acio mendete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, na mamũhooyaga, o na arĩa othe mamenyagĩrĩra thabatũ matekũmĩthaahia, na makarũmia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa-rĩ,
7 even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."
andũ acio nĩo ngaatwara kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa kĩrĩa kĩamũre, na ndĩmahe gĩkeno thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa ya mahooya. Maruta mao ma njino na magongona nĩmagetĩkĩrĩka kĩgongona-inĩ gĩakwa; nĩgũkorwo nyũmba yakwa ĩgeetagwo nyũmba ya mahooya ya kũhooyagĩrwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.”
8 Jehovah, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered."
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, o we ũrĩa ũcookanagĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli arĩa matahĩtwo: “Hamwe na acio ndĩkĩtie gũcookanĩrĩria no kũrĩ angĩ ngaacookanĩrĩria meongerere harĩo.”
9 All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in the forest.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ũkaai inyuĩ nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka, o na inyuĩ nyamũ ciothe cia mũtitũ ũkaai mũrĩe!
10 His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
Arangĩri a Isiraeli nĩ atumumu, othe nĩmagĩte ũmenyo; othe matariĩ ta ngui itagambaga, ikaremwo nĩ gũkũga; makomaga thĩ makaroota, na mendaga o gũkoma toro.
11 Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
Matariĩ o ta ngui ngoroku mũno; matirĩ hĩndĩ mahũũnaga. Nĩ arĩithi matarĩ na ũtaũku; othe magarũrũkĩte magathiĩ na njĩra ciao o ene, na o mũndũ acaragia maũndũ ma kwĩguna we mwene.
12 "Come," say they, "I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure."
O mũndũ aanagĩrĩra akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũnganai ndĩmũrehere ndibei! Nĩtũnyue njoohi nginya tũrĩĩo! Naruo rũciũ rũkaahaana o ta ũmũthĩ, kana rwagĩre mũno makĩria.”
