Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of Jehovah is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and an opening of the eyes to the blind;
Atĩrĩrĩ, Roho wa Mwathani Jehova arĩ igũrũ rĩakwa, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩanjitĩrĩirie maguta, nĩguo hunjagĩrie andũ arĩa athĩĩni ũhoro-ũrĩa-mwega. Nĩandũmĩte ngahonie arĩa athuthĩku ngoro, na ngaanĩrĩre atĩ andũ arĩa mohetwo nĩmohorwo, nao arĩa mohetwo njeera ndĩmeere nĩmarekererio,
2 to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
na hunjanagĩrie ũhoro wa mwaka ũrĩa Jehova akoonania ũtugi wake, na mũthenya ũrĩa Ngai witũ akerĩhĩria, ningĩ hooragĩrie arĩa othe marĩ na kĩeha,
3 to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified.
na ndeithagie andũ arĩa marĩ na kĩeha kũu Zayuni: ndĩmahumbe tanji ya ũthaka handũ ha mũhu, na ndĩmaitĩrĩrie maguta ma gĩkeno handũ ha kĩeha, na ndĩmahumbe nguo ya ũgooci handũ ha ngoro ĩtarĩ mwĩhoko. Nĩgeetha meetagwo mĩtĩ ya ũthingu, mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩhaandĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩguo monanagie riiri wake.
4 They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Nao nĩmagaka kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũire kwanangĩtwo kuuma tene, na macookererie kũndũ kũrĩa kuonũhirwo tene; nĩ magaacookereria matũũra manene marĩa matũire marĩ manange njiarwa na njiarwa.
5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Nao ageni nĩmakarĩithagia ndũũru cianyu; nao andũ a kũngĩ marĩmage mĩgũnda yanyu, o na maceehage mĩthabibũ yanyu.
6 But you shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory.
No inyuĩ mũgeetagwo athĩnjĩri-Ngai a Jehova, nao andũ mamwĩtage atungatĩri a Ngai witũ. Mũkaarĩĩaga ũtonga wa ndũrĩrĩ, na mwĩtĩĩage na indo icio ciao nyingĩ.
7 Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa andũ akwa manaconorithio, makaarĩhĩrio maita meerĩ, na handũ ha thoni-rĩ, nĩmagakenera igai rĩao; na nĩ ũndũ ũcio makaagaya igai maita meerĩ bũrũri-inĩ wao, na magĩe na gĩkeno gĩtagathira nginya tene.
8 "For I, Jehovah, love justice, and I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
“Nĩgũkorwo niĩ, Jehova, nĩnyendete ciira wa kĩhooto; nĩthũire ũtunyani na waganu. Nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku wakwa-rĩ, nĩngamarĩha irĩhi rĩao, na ndĩĩkanĩre nao kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene.
9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which Jehovah has blessed."
Njiaro ciao nĩikaagĩa igweta ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ciana ciao imenywo nĩ andũ a ndũrĩrĩ. Arĩa othe makaamoona nĩmagetĩkĩra atĩ acio nĩo andũ arĩa Jehova arathimĩte.”
10 I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Niĩ nĩngenagĩra Jehova mũno; ngoro yakwa ĩcanjamũkaga nĩ ũndũ wa Ngai wakwa. Nĩgũkorwo nĩahumbĩte ũhonokio ta nguo, na akaahumba nguo ndaaya ya ũthingu, o ta ũrĩa mũhikania agemagia mũtwe wake na kĩremba taarĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ta ũrĩa mũhiki egemagia na mathaga make ma goro.
11 For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa tĩĩri ũtũmaga mbegũ imere, na mũgũnda ũgatũma mbegũ ikũre-rĩ, ũguo noguo Mwathani Jehova agaatũma ũthingu na ũgooci ciumĩre cionekane nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
