Isaiah 50
1 Thus says YHWH, "Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Look, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
Jehova ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Marũa marĩa maitũguo aaheirwo ma gũtigana nake, o macio monanagia atĩ nĩndamũteire-rĩ, marĩ ha? Kana nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ wa arĩa ndaarĩ thiirĩ nao ndakwendeirie? Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu-rĩ, nĩkĩo mwendirio; nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mwagararĩte watho, nĩkĩo nyina wanyu aateirwo.
2 Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Look, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
Rĩrĩa ndokire-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire haage mũndũ o na ũmwe? Ningĩ rĩrĩa ndetanire-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire haage mũndũ o na ũmwe wanjĩtĩkire? Kaĩ guoko gwakwa gwakuhĩhĩte, nĩguo kũremwo nĩkũmũkũũra? Nĩ hinya njagĩte wa kũmũhonokia? Ikũũma rĩakwa riiki nĩrĩtũmaga iria rĩhũe, o na ngatũma njũũĩ ituĩke werũ; thamaki ciakuo ikabutha nĩ kwaga maaĩ, na igakua nĩ nyoota.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
Niĩ humbaga igũrũ nguo ya nduma, na ngarĩkunĩkĩra na nguo ya ikũnia.”
4 YHWH has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
Mwathani Jehova nĩaahete rũrĩmĩ rwa andũ arĩa marutĩtwo maũndũ, nĩguo menyage ũrĩa ciugo ciakwa ingĩhota gũteithia andũ arĩa anogu. Anjarahũraga rũciinĩ o rũciinĩ, akaarahũra matũ makwa thikĩrĩrie nĩguo ndĩĩrute ta andũ arĩa marutagwo maũndũ.
5 YHWH has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward.
Mwathani Jehova nĩahingũrĩte matũ makwa, na niĩ ndirĩ ndamũremera; ndicookete na thuutha.
6 I gave my back to those who strike, and my cheeks to those who tore out my beard; I did not cover my face from insults and spitting.
Ndaneanire mũgongo wakwa kũrĩ andũ arĩa maahũũraga, kĩreru gĩakwa ngĩkĩnengera arĩa maangũũraga nderu; ndiahithire ũthiũ wakwa atĩ nĩguo ndikanyũrũrio, kana ndige gũtuĩrwo mata.
7 But YHWH will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
Tondũ Mwathani Jehova nĩwe ũndeithagia-rĩ, ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaaconorithio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũmĩte ũthiũ wakwa ũikare ũũmĩte o ta ihiga rĩa nyaigĩ, na nĩnjũũĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaaconorithio.
8 He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.
Ningĩ ũrĩa ũnduuaga mũthingu arĩ hakuhĩ. Nũũ ũngĩgĩĩthitanga? Nĩoke tũrũgamane nake! Ningĩ ũrĩa ũngĩnjiirithia akĩrĩ we ũ? Mũndũ ũcio nĩarekwo akĩĩngʼethere!
9 Look, YHWH will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Look, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova nĩwe ũndeithagia. Ũrĩa ũngĩndua mwĩhia akĩrĩ ũũ? Andũ acio othe magaathira o ta ũrĩa nguo ĩthiraga; makaarĩĩo nĩ memenyi, mathire biũ.
10 Who is among you who fears YHWH, who listens to the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of YHWH, and rely on his God.
Nũũ thĩinĩ wanyu wĩtigĩrĩte Jehova, na wathĩkagĩra kiugo kĩa ndungata yake? Mũndũ ũrĩa ũthiiagĩra nduma-inĩ, ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũtheri, nĩakĩĩhoke rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, na egiritanie na Ngai wake.
11 Look, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with flaming arrows around yourselves; walk in the light of your fire, and among the flaming arrows that you have kindled. You shall have this of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
No rĩrĩ, rĩu inyuĩ arĩa othe mwakagia mwaki, na mũkeehe imũrĩ igwakana-rĩ, thiĩi, mũgerere ũtheri-inĩ wa mwaki wanyu, na wa imũrĩ cia mwaki ũrĩa mũgwatĩtie. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo mũkaamũkĩra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa: Mũgaakoma thĩ na mĩnyamaro.
