Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city. He appoints salvation for walls and ramparts.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio rwĩmbo rũrũ nĩruo rũkainwo bũrũri wa Juda: Tũrĩ na itũũra inene rĩa hinya; Ngai atuuaga ũhonokio ũtuĩke thingo ciarĩo na njirigo ciarĩo cia hinya.
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
Hingũrai ihingo nĩguo rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũthingu rũtoonye, o rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũrũmagia wĩtĩkio.
3 You will keep him in peace, in peace whose thoughts are fixed on you, because he trusts in you.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ meciiria makindĩirie harĩwe-rĩ, nĩwe ũgaatũũria na thayũ mũkinyanĩru tondũ nĩakwĩhokete.
4 Trust in the LORD forever; for in YAH, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
Tũũrai mwĩhokete Jehova nginya tene, nĩgũkorwo Jehova, o we Jehova, nĩwe Rwaro rwa Ihiga rwa tene na tene.
5 For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low to the ground. He casts it to the dust.
Nĩanyiihagia andũ arĩa maikaraga kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, o na itũũra rĩrĩa itũũgĩru akarĩharũrũkia, akarĩharagania thĩ, agacooka akarĩtungumania rũkũngũ-inĩ.
6 The feet of the poor tramples it down, the footsteps of the needy."
Magũrũ ma andũ makarĩrangĩrĩria; magũrũ ma andũ arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie, o na makinya ma arĩa athĩĩni.
7 The way of the righteous is level. O Just One, you make the path of the righteous smooth.
Njĩra ya andũ arĩa athingu nĩ nũngĩrĩru; nawe Jehova, Wee Mũthingu, nĩwe ũnyorokagia njĩra cia arĩa athingu.
8 Yes, in the path of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
Ĩĩ, ti-itherũ Jehova, nĩwe twetagĩrĩra o tũgĩthiiagĩra njĩra ya mawatho maku; ngoro ciitũ ciĩriragĩria rĩĩtwa rĩaku na ngumo yaku.
9 With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, my spirit within me will seek you early, for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Ngoro yakwa nĩwe ĩĩriragĩria ũtukũ; rũciinĩ roho wakwa ũgakũnyootera. Rĩrĩa watuanĩra ciira wa kĩhooto gũkũ thĩ, andũ a mabũrũri mothe nĩmerutaga ũhoro wa ũthingu.
10 Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD's majesty.
O na andũ aaganu mangĩiguĩrwo tha, matiĩrutaga ũhoro wa ũthingu; o na marĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa arũngĩrĩru, mathiiaga o na mbere gwĩka ũũru, makaaga gũtĩĩa ũnene wa Jehova.
11 LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see; they see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, guoko gwaku nĩ kwambararĩtio na igũrũ, no matingĩkuona o na atĩa. No rĩrĩ, reke mone kĩyo kĩrĩa ũrĩ nakĩo nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aku, nĩgeetha maconoke; mwaki ũrĩa ũigĩirwo thũ ciaku nĩũrekwo ũmacine.
12 LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩwe ũtũheaga thayũ; maũndũ marĩa mothe tũhingĩtie, nĩwe ũtwĩkĩire.
13 LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.
Wee Jehova, o Wee Ngai witũ, nĩ harĩ aathani angĩ manatwatha tiga wee, no rĩrĩ, rĩĩtwa rĩaku riiki norĩo tũtĩĩte.
14 The dead shall not live, and the departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
Na rĩrĩ, acio rĩu nĩmakuĩte, matigacooka gũtũũra muoyo; maroho macio matikariũka. Wee nĩwamaherithirie ũkĩmaananga; ningĩ ũgĩtũma mariganĩre biũ.
15 You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation. You are glorified. You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
Wee Jehova nĩũtũmĩte rũrĩrĩ rũu ruongerereke; ti-itherũ nĩwongereire rũrĩrĩ rũu, ũkarũingĩhia. Wee nĩwĩgĩĩrĩire na riiri, ũkaaramia mĩhaka yothe ya bũrũri.
16 LORD, in trouble they sought you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
Atĩrĩrĩ Jehova, mookire kũrĩ we rĩrĩa maarĩ na mathĩĩna; rĩrĩa wamaherithagia-rĩ, maahotaga o kũhooya na mĩheehũ.
17 Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, LORD.
O ta ũrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja arĩ na nda akiriĩ gũciara enyogondaga na agakaya nĩ ruo-rĩ, ũguo noguo twatariĩ tũrĩ mbere yaku, Wee Jehova.
18 We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Ithuĩ twatariĩ ta twarĩ nda, twenyogondaga nĩ ruo, no rĩrĩ, nĩ ta twaciarire o rũhuho. Gũtirĩ ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wa kũhonokania twĩkĩte gũkũ thĩ, o na kana tũgaciara andũ arĩa maikaraga gũkũ thĩ.
19 Your dead shall live; my dead bodies shall rise. Awake and shout for joy, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of the dawn, and the earth shall bring forth the departed spirits.
No rĩrĩ, andũ aku arĩa makuĩte nĩmagatũũra muoyo; mĩĩrĩ yao nĩĩkariũka. Inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga rũkũngũ-inĩ, ũkĩrai na mwanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena. Ime rĩanyu rĩtariĩ ta ireera rĩa rũciinĩ; nayo thĩ nĩĩgacookia andũ arĩa akuũ muoyo.
20 Come, my people, enter into your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ akwa, thiĩi mũtoonye tũnyũmba twanyu na mwĩhingĩre; mwĩhithe kuo gwa kahinda kanini nginya mangʼũrĩ make mathire.
21 For, look, the LORD comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova nĩarooka oimĩte gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake, nĩguo aherithie andũ a gũkũ thĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao. Nayo thĩ nĩĩkonania thakame ĩrĩa ĩitĩtwo kuo; ndĩgaacooka kũhitha andũ ayo arĩa moragĩtwo.
