< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Nũũ ũyũ ũroka oimĩte Edomu, akoima itũũra rĩa Bozara ehumbĩte nguo ndune ta thakame? Nũũ ũyũ wĩhumbĩte nguo irĩ na ũkengu, agĩkinyũkagia arĩ na hinya wa ũnene wake? “Nĩ niĩ, ngĩaragia ndeto cia ũthingu, na ndĩ na hinya wa kũhonokania.”
2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte nguo ciaku itunĩhe, ta cia mũndũ ũraranga kĩhihĩro kĩa ndibei?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.
“Niĩ-rĩ, nĩnangĩte kĩhihĩro kĩa ndibei ndĩ nyiki; gũtirĩ mũndũ wa kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ o na ũmwe twarĩ nake. Ndamakinyĩrĩirie ndĩ na marakara, na ngĩmarangĩrĩria thĩ ndĩ na mangʼũrĩ; nayo thakame yao ĩkĩminjũkĩra nguo ciakwa, nacio ciothe ikĩgĩa na marooro mayo.
4 For the day of vengeance was in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa kũrĩhanĩria warĩ ngoro-inĩ yakwa, naguo mwaka wa gũkũũra andũ akwa nĩmũkinyu.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
Niĩ nĩndacũthĩrĩirie, ngĩona atĩ hatiarĩ mũndũ wa kũndeithia, na ngĩgega tondũ gũtiarĩ na mũndũ wa kũndiirĩrĩra; nĩ ũndũ ũcio guoko gwakwa mwene nĩkuo kwahonokirie, namo mangʼũrĩ makwa mwene makĩndiirĩrĩra.
6 And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.
Nĩndakinyĩrĩirie ndũrĩrĩ ndĩ na marakara, ngĩtũma ituĩke ta irĩĩtwo nĩ njoohi nĩ ũndũ wa mangʼũrĩ makwa, nayo thakame yao ngĩmĩita thĩ.”
7 I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, [and] the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us; and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
Nĩngũheana ũhoro wa motugi ma Jehova, o na ciĩko ciake iria itũmaga agoocwo, kũringana na maũndũ mothe marĩa Jehova atwĩkĩire: ĩĩ, nĩngũheana ũhoro wa maũndũ maingĩ mega marĩa eekĩire nyũmba ya Isiraeli, kũringana na tha ciake, na motugi make maingĩ.
8 For he said, Surely, they are my people, children that will not deal falsely: so he was their saviour.
Nĩ ũndũ oigire atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ acio nĩ andũ akwa, na nĩ ciana iria itakaheenia,” na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtuĩka Mũhonokia wao.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
Mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe o nake nĩathĩĩnĩkire, nake mũraika wake akĩmahonokia. Akĩmakũũra nĩ ũrĩa aamendete na akamaiguĩra tha, akĩmooya na agĩtũũra amakuuĩte matukũ mothe ma tene.
10 But they rebelled, and grieved his holy spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] himself fought against them.
No rĩrĩ, nĩmamũremeire na makĩiguithia Roho wake Mũtheru ũũru. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmagarũrũka, agĩtuĩka thũ yao, nake we mwene akĩrũa mbaara nao.
11 Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] his people, [saying], Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy spirit in the midst of them?
Ningĩ andũ acio ake makĩririkana matukũ ma tene, o hĩndĩ ya Musa na andũ ake, makĩũria atĩrĩ: Ũrĩa wamaringirie iria, hamwe na mũrĩithi wa rũũru rwake-rĩ, akĩrĩ ha? Ĩ we ũrĩa wareehire Roho Mũtheru gatagatĩ kao-rĩ, akĩrĩ ha?
12 that caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
Ũrĩa watũmire guoko gwake kwa hinya na kũrĩ riiri gũikare mwena wa ũrĩo wa Musa, akĩrĩ ha? O we ũrĩa wagayũkanirie maaĩ mbere yao, nĩguo egĩĩre na igweta nginya tene,
13 that led them through the depths, as an horse in the wilderness, that they stumbled not?
ũrĩa wamatongoreirie kũndũ kũu kũriku, akĩrĩ ha? O ta mbarathi igĩtwarĩrwo werũ-inĩ-rĩ, matiahĩngirwo;
14 As the cattle that go down into the valley, the spirit of the LORD caused them to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
o ta ũrĩa ngʼombe ithiiaga kwarahio gĩtuamba-inĩ, noguo o nao maaheirwo ũhurũko nĩ Roho wa Jehova, Ũguo nĩguo watongoririe andũ aku nĩgeetha wĩgĩĩre rĩĩtwa rĩ na riiri.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy bowels and thy compassions are restrained toward me.
We ta cũthĩrĩria thĩ ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, wĩrorere, wone ũrĩa gũtariĩ ũrĩ gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩaku kĩu gĩtũũgĩru kĩa ũnene, o kĩu gĩtheru na kĩrĩ riiri. Kaĩ maũndũ maku marĩa wĩkaga ma kĩyo o na ma hinya makĩrĩ ha? Ũhoro wa ũrĩa ũtũiguagĩra tha na ũrĩa ũtũcakayagĩra ngoro-inĩ yaku-rĩ, nĩũgirĩtie ũtũkinyĩre.
16 For thou art our father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O LORD, art our father; our redeemer from everlasting is thy name.
O na angĩkorwo Iburahĩmu ndatũũĩ, nake Isiraeli nĩatũkaanĩte-rĩ, Wee nĩwe Ithe witũ; Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩwe Ithe witũ, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ Mũkũũri witũ kuuma tene.
17 O LORD, why dost thou make us to err from thy ways, and hardenest our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga ũtũrekererie tuume njĩra-inĩ ciaku, na ũkoomia ngoro ciitũ nĩguo twage gũgũtĩĩa? Garũrũka nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata ciaku, o mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo ĩtuĩkĩte igai rĩaku.
18 Thy holy people possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Andũ aku arĩa aamũre nĩmegwatĩire bũrũri ũyũ wamaheire ũgĩtuĩka wao o ihinda inini, no rĩu thũ ciitũ nĩcirangĩrĩirie handũ haku harĩa haamũre.
19 We are become as they over whom thou never barest rule; as they that were not called by thy name.
Ithuĩ tũrĩ andũ aku kuuma tene; no rĩrĩ, o ndũrĩ wamathamakĩra, o na matirĩ metanio na rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
