Isaiah 55
1 "Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters. Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ inyuothe arĩa mũnyootiĩ-rĩ, ũkaai mũnyue maaĩ; na inyuĩ mũtarĩ na mbeeca-rĩ, ũkaai mũgũre irio, mũrĩe! Ũkaai, mũgũre ndibei na iria mũtarĩ na mbeeca mũkũruta, na hatarĩ na thogora.
2 Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũtũmĩre mbeeca harĩ irio gũtarĩ, o na mũnoge mũkĩrutĩra wĩra kĩndũ gĩtangĩmũhũũnia? Thikĩrĩriai na mũnjigue, nĩguo mũrĩĩage indo iria njega, nacio ngoro cianyu nĩirĩkenagĩra irio iria njega mũno.
3 Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful kindnesses of David.
Tegai matũ mũthikĩrĩrie, na mũũke kũrĩ niĩ; njiguai nĩgeetha mũtũũre muoyo. Na niĩ nĩngarĩĩkanĩra na inyuĩ kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene, arĩ wendo wakwa wa kwĩhokeka ũrĩa nderĩire Daudi.
4 Look, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
Atĩrĩrĩ ũcio nĩndĩmũtuĩte mũira kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, na ngamũtua mũtongoria na mũnene wa ndũrĩrĩ.
5 Look, you shall call a nation that you do not know; and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of YHWH your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you."
Ti-itherũ nĩũgeeta ndũrĩrĩ iria ũtooĩ, nacio ndũrĩrĩ iria itakũũĩ itengʼere ciũke kũrĩ we, nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Ngai waku, o we Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo nĩakũhumbĩte ũkengu mũnene.”
6 Seek YHWH while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:
Mathaai Jehova hĩndĩ ĩrĩa angĩoneka; mũkaĩrei hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arĩ hakuhĩ.
7 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to YHWH, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu nĩatigane na mĩthiĩre yake, nake mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ mũthingu atigane na meciiria make mooru. Nĩacookerere Jehova, na nĩekũmũiguĩra tha, na acookerere Ngai witũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩakĩragĩrĩria kũrekanĩra.
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," says YHWH.
“Nĩgũkorwo meciiria makwa timo meciiria manyu, o na kana mĩthiĩre yanyu ĩgatuĩka ta mĩthiĩre yakwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
“O ta ũrĩa matu maraihanĩrĩirie na thĩ, ũguo noguo mĩthiĩre yakwa ĩraihanĩrĩirie na mĩthiĩre yanyu, o na meciiria makwa magakĩra meciiria manyu.
10 For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn't return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa mbura yuraga, narĩo ira rĩkaharũrũka kuuma igũrũ, na iticookaga kuo itaihũgĩtie thĩ na igatũma mĩmera ĩthundũke na ĩciare, nĩguo mũhandi aheo mbeũ na ũrĩa wendaga kũrĩa aheo irio ciake,
11 so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
ũguo noguo kiugo gĩakwa kĩrĩa kiumaga kanua gakwa gĩgaaikara: Kiugo kĩu gĩtikanjookerera o ro ũguo tũhũ, no nĩgĩkahingia ũrĩa nyendete wĩkwo, na gĩkinyanĩrie muoroto ũrĩa watũmire ndĩgĩtũme.
12 For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.
Ũkoimagara na gĩkeno, na ũthiiage ũtongoretio nĩ thayũ; irĩma o na tũrĩma nacio nĩigaitĩka kũina rwĩmbo mbere yaku, nayo mĩtĩ yothe ya gĩthaka nĩĩkahũũra hĩ.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to YHWH for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
Ithenya rĩa mĩigua-rĩ, gũkaamera mĩthengera, na ithenya rĩa congʼe kũmere mĩhandathi. Naguo ũndũ ũcio ũgaatuĩka wa gũtũma Jehova agĩe igweta, na ũtuĩke kĩmenyithia gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene, kĩrĩa gĩtagathũkio.”
