Isaiah 33
1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
Atĩrĩrĩ wee mwanangi ũyũ, o wee ũtarĩ wanangwo, kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Wee mũkunyanĩri ũyũ, o wee ũtarĩ wakunyanĩrwo, kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Rĩrĩa ũgaatiga kwanangana, nĩguo nawe ũkaanangwo, na ningĩ rĩrĩa ũgaatiga gũkunyanĩra, nĩguo nawe ũgaakunyanĩrwo.
2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
Wee Jehova, tũiguĩre tha; wee nĩwe twetagĩrĩra. Tuĩka hinya witũ rũciinĩ o rũciinĩ, na ũtuĩke ũhonokio witũ hĩndĩ ya mĩnyamaro.
3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.
Andũ nĩ kũũra mooraga maigua mũrurumo wa mũgambo waku; warahũka-rĩ, ndũrĩrĩ nĩihurunjũkaga.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon it.
Indo cianyu iria igaakorwo itahĩtwo, inyuĩ ndũrĩrĩ, ikoingũrũrio itahwo, o ta ũrĩa ciana cia ngigĩ ciũngũrũragia; andũ magaacitharĩkĩra ta ũrĩa mĩrumbĩ ya ngigĩ ĩtharĩkagĩra mĩgũnda.
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
Jehova nĩatũũgĩrĩtio, nĩgũkorwo atũũraga igũrũ; nake nĩakaiyũria Zayuni na ciira wa kĩhooto na ũthingu.
6 And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
Nĩwe ũgaatuĩka gĩtina kĩrũmu matukũ-inĩ maku, na atuĩke kĩgĩĩna kĩa ũhoro mũingĩ wa ũhonokio, na ũũgĩ, na ũmenyi wa maũndũ; na ũhoro wa gwĩtigĩra Jehova nĩguo ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũthiithũ wa ma.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
Atĩrĩrĩ, andũ ao arĩa njamba mararĩrĩra njĩra-inĩ maanĩrĩire; nao mabarũthi mao ma thayũ maraarĩra na kĩgirĩko kĩnene.
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.
Barabara iria njariĩ itigĩtwo itarĩ andũ, na agendi magatiga kũgerera njĩra icio. Kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa maarĩkanĩire nĩgĩthũkie, na aira a kĩo makanyararwo, gũtirĩ o na mũndũ ũmwe ũraheo gĩtĩĩo.
9 The land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves].
Bũrũri nĩũracakaya na ũgathirĩrĩkĩra, nakuo kũu Lebanoni nĩgũconorithĩtio na mĩtĩ yakuo ĩkahooha. Sharoni nakuo kũhanĩte ta werũ wa Araba, nakuo Bashani na Karimeli gũgaita mathangũ makuo.
10 How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩngwarahũka, rĩu nĩngũtũũgĩrio; rĩu nĩngwambarario na igũrũ.
11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
Inyuĩ mũkaagĩa nda cia maragara, mũciare rũũa rwa ngano; nayo mĩhũmũ yanyu ĩtuĩkĩte mwaki wa kũmũcina.
12 And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
Andũ a ndũrĩrĩ magaacinwo mahaane ta coka; magaacinwo na mwaki o ta ihinga cia mĩigua itemetwo.”
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
Atĩrĩrĩ inyuĩ andũ arĩa mũrĩ kũraya, ta thikĩrĩriai mũigue ũrĩa njĩkĩte; na inyuĩ mũrĩ gũkuhĩ umbũrai ũhoro wa hinya wakwa.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the godless ones. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Ehia arĩa marĩ kũu Zayuni nĩmamakĩte; nao andũ arĩa matooĩ Ngai nĩkũinaina marainaina, makoiga atĩrĩ, “Nũũ witũ ũngĩtũũrania na mwaki ũrĩa ũcinanaga? Ningĩ nũũ witũ ũngĩtũũrania na mwaki ũtakahora nginya tene?”
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil;
Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũthiiaga na mĩthiĩre ya ũthingu na akaaria ũhoro ũrĩa wagĩrĩire, o we ũtangĩoya uumithio uumanĩte na ũhinyanĩrĩria, na akagirĩrĩria guoko gwake kwamũkĩre mahaki, o ũcio ũgiragĩrĩria matũ make kũigua ndeto cia gũciirĩra ũragani, na akahinga maitho make matikerorere maũndũ mooru.
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure.
Ũcio nĩwe mũndũ ũrĩa ũgaatũũra kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, ũrĩa kĩĩhitho gĩake gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩirigo kĩrũmu kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ. Nĩakaheagwo irio ciake, na maaĩ make gũtirĩ hĩndĩ makaaga.
17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a far stretching land.
Maitho maku nĩmakeyonera mũthamaki arĩ na riiri wake wothe, na wĩrorere bũrũri waramĩte, ũgatambũrũka kũraya ma.
18 Thine heart shall muse on the terror: where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers?
Meciiria-inĩ maku nĩũgecũrania ũhoro wa kĩmakania kĩrĩa kĩarĩ ho hau mbere, ũrie atĩrĩ: “Mũtongoria ũrĩa mũnene arĩ ha? Nake mũndũ ũrĩa wamũkagĩra mbeeca cia igooti rĩa bũrũri arĩ ha? Nake mũnene ũrĩa ũrũgamagĩrĩra mĩthiringo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ arĩ ha?”
19 Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive; of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand.
Andũ acio ndũrĩka ndũgacooka kũmona rĩngĩ, o acio maaragia mĩario ĩtangĩiguĩka, na makaaria na rũthiomi rũgeni rũtangĩmenyeka.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
Ta rora Zayuni, itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩa maruga maitũ; maitho maku nĩmakona Jerusalemu, gĩikaro gĩa thayũ, nĩyo hema ĩrĩa ĩtakenyenyeka; higĩ ciayo itirĩ hĩndĩ ikaamunywo, o na kana mũkanda o na ũmwe wayo ũtuĩke.
21 But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
Kũu nĩkuo Jehova Mwene-Hinya agaakorwo hamwe na ithuĩ. Nakuo kũu gũgaatuĩka ta kũndũ kwa njũũĩ njariĩ, o na tũrũũĩ, njũũĩ itakagererio marikabu cia mbaara, kana igererio marikabu iria nene cia iria-inĩ.
22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe wa gũtua ciira, Jehova nĩwe mũtwathi, Jehova nĩwe mũthamaki witũ: we nĩwe ũgaatũhonokia.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey.
Mĩkanda yaku nĩmĩregeru, na mũtĩ ũrĩa mũraaya wa marikabu ti mũrũmu, naguo taama wa kũmĩtwarithia timũtambũrũku. Hĩndĩ ĩyo indo nyingĩ cia ndaho nĩ ikaagayanwo, o na andũ arĩa mathuaga nĩmagekuuĩra indo cia ndaho.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtũũraga Zayuni ũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ mũrũaru”; nao andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo nĩmakarekerwo mehia mao.
