Isaiah 10
1 Alas! for them who ordain iniquitous decrees, —And, busy writers, who make a business of writing mischief:
Kaĩ arĩa mathondekaga mawatho matarĩ ma kĩhooto marĩ na haaro-ĩ! o arĩa marutaga mawatho ma kũhinyanĩrĩria,
2 Turning aside from judgment, the poor, And robbing, of justice, the oppressed of my people, —So that, widows, become, their spoil, And of the fatherless, they make prey.
nĩguo mahotomie ciira wa andũ arĩa athĩĩni, na magirĩrĩrie kĩhooto kĩa andũ akwa arĩa mahinyĩrĩirio, na magatua atumia a ndigwa iguĩma rĩao, o na magatunya ciana cia ngoriai indo ciacio.
3 What, then, will ye do for the day of visitation, And for the devastation, which from afar, shall come? Unto whom, will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your gory?
Mũgeeka atĩa mũthenya wa ciira, rĩrĩa mũgaakorererwo nĩ mwanangĩko uumĩte kũraya? Mũkoorĩra kũrĩ ũ amũteithie? Ũtonga wanyu mũkaaũtiga kũ?
4 Without me, one hath bowed under a prisoner Yea under the slain, do they fall! For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
Gũtirĩ ũndũ ũgaakorwo ũtigarĩte tiga kwĩnyiihia gatagatĩ ka mĩgwate, kana mũgũe gatagatĩ ka arĩa makuĩte. No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, marakara make matirĩ maraahũahũa, guoko gwake no gũtambũrũkĩtio o na rĩu.
5 Alas! for Assyria, the rod of mine anger, —Yea, the very staff in their hand, is, my displeasure:
“Kaĩ andũ a Ashuri marĩ na haaro-ĩ! o acio rũthanju rwa marakara makwa, na thimbũ ya mangʼũrĩ makwa!
6 Against an irreligious nation, will I send him, Yea against the people with whom I am wroth, will I command him, —To capture spoil And lay hold on prey, And cause them to be trodden down as the mire of the lanes.
Ndĩmatũmaga mookĩrĩre rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũtooĩ Ngai, ngamatũma mookĩrĩre andũ arĩa mandakaragia, nĩguo matunyane indo, na mahurie ndaho, na mamarangĩrĩrie ta ndoro ya njĩra-inĩ.
7 But as for him, not so, doth he deem, And in his heart, not so, doth he think, —For, to destroy, is in his heart, And to cut off nations, not a few;
No ũguo tiguo maciirĩire gwĩka, ũndũ ũyũ tiguo ũrĩ meciiria-inĩ mao, muoroto wao nĩ kwananga, na kũniina ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ biũ.
8 For he saith: —Are not, my generals, all alike, kings?
Mũthamaki wa Ashuri aaragia, akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ anene akwa a ita othe ti athamaki?
9 Is not, Calno, like Carchemish? Is not, Hamath, like Arpad? Is not, Samaria, like Damascus?
Githĩ itũũra rĩa Kalino rĩtiekirwo o ta Karikemishi? O narĩo Hamathu-rĩ, githĩ rĩtiekirwo o ta Aripadi? Narĩo Samaria githĩ rĩtiekirwo o ta Dameski?
10 As my hand hath reached unto the kingdoms of idols, —whose images did excel them of Jerusalem and Samaria,
O ta ũrĩa guoko gwakwa gwatunyanire mothamaki marĩa meigagĩra mĩhianano ya kũhooywo, o macio maarĩ mĩhianano mĩingĩ mĩicũhie gũkĩra ya Jerusalemu na ya Samaria-rĩ,
11 Shall I not as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so, do to Jerusalem and her images?
githĩ ndigeeka Jerusalemu na mĩhianano yarĩo ya kũhooywo o ta ũrĩa ndeekire Samaria na mĩhianano yarĩo?’”
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass—When My Lord shall finish his whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will bring punishment—Upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the king of Assyria. And upon the vainglory of his uplifted eyes,
Mwathani aarĩkia wĩra wake wothe wa gũũkĩrĩra Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni na Jerusalemu-rĩ, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũherithia mũthamaki wa Ashuri nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩtĩĩo wa ngoro yake na mwĩtũũgĩrio wake, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa oonaga ta ekĩrĩirwo.
13 For he hath said—By the strength of mine own hand, have I effectually wrought, And by my wisdom—for I have discernment, —That I might remove the bounds of peoples, Yea their treasures, have I plundered That I might lay prostrate as a mighty one the inhabitants;
Nĩgũkorwo oigaga atĩrĩ: “‘Njĩkĩte ũguo na hinya wa guoko gwakwa, o na ũũgĩ wakwa, tondũ ndĩ na ũmenyo. Nĩndeheririe mĩhaka ya ndũrĩrĩ, na ngĩtaha igĩĩna ciao, na ta mũndũ ũrĩ na hinya-rĩ, nĩndatooririe athamaki ao.
14 And my hand hath found as a nest the wealth of the peoples, And as the gathering of eggs that are forsaken, all the earth, have, I, gathered, —And there was none to flap a wing, or open a mouth or chirp.
O ta ũrĩa mũndũ akinyagĩra gĩtara, ũguo noguo guoko gwakwa gwakinyĩrire ũtonga ũcio wa ndũrĩrĩ; o ta ũrĩa andũ macookanagĩrĩria matumbĩ marĩa maatiganĩirio, ũguo noguo na niĩ ndacookanĩrĩirie mabũrũri mothe; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wabatabatirie ithagu rĩaguo, kana ũgĩathamia kanua kaguo ũkĩgamba.’”
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Or, the saw, magnify itself, against him that wieldeth it? As if a rod, could wield, them who lift it up! As if a staff, could raise, what is, not wood!
Ithanwa-rĩ, rĩahota kwĩyambararia igũrũ rĩa ũrĩa ũtemaga mũtĩ narĩo, kana mũthumeno wĩtĩĩre ũrĩa ũũguucagia? Kaĩ rũthanju rũngĩkĩhiũria ũrĩa ũruoete na igũrũ, kana thimbũ ĩhiũrie ũrĩa ũtarĩ mbaũ!
16 Therefore, shall the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Send, among his fat ones, leanness, And under his glory, shall he kindle a kindling, like the kindling of fire;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩakarehera njamba ciake cia ita iria irĩ hinya mũrimũ wa kũhĩnja; na handũ ha kũhumbĩrwo nĩ riiri wake-rĩ, nĩ mwaki magaakĩrio ũrĩrĩmbũke ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ.
17 So shall, the Light of Israel, become, a fire, And his Holy One, a flame, Which shall burn and consume his thorns and his briars, in one day;
Ũtheri wa Isiraeli agaatuĩka mwaki, nake Ũrĩa Mũtheru wao atuĩke rũrĩrĩmbĩ. Ũgaakana na ũcine mĩigua yake na congʼe wake o mũthenya ũmwe.
18 And the glory of his forest and of his garden land, both soul and body, shall it bring to an end, —And it shall be like the wasting away of a consumptive.
Nake nĩakaniina biũ riiri wa mĩtitũ yake, o hamwe na wa mĩgũnda yake ĩrĩa mĩnoru, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ mũrũaru ahĩnjaga agathirĩrĩkĩra.
19 And, the remnant of his forest-trees, few in number, shall become, —yea, a child, might describe them!
Nayo mĩtĩ ya mĩtitũ yake ĩgaatigara o mĩnini, atĩ o na mwana no andĩke mũigana wayo.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, That the remnant of Israel. And the escaped of the house of Jacob Shall, no more again, lean upon him that smote them, —But shall lean upon Yahweh the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio andũ arĩa magaatigara a Isiraeli, o na arĩa makaahonoka a nyũmba ya Jakubu, matigacooka kwĩgiritania na ũcio wamahũũrĩte, no makegiritania na Jehova o ma, o we Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
21 A remnant, shall return, The remnant of Jacob, —unto the mighty GOD;
Matigari nĩmagacooka, o macio matigari ma Jakubu-rĩ, nĩmagacookerera Mũrungu Mwene-Hinya.
22 For though thy people, O Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, A [mere] remnant, shall return of them, —A full end decreed, bringeth in, justice, like a flood;
O na gũtuĩka andũ aku, wee Isiraeli maingĩhĩte ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ-rĩ, no matigari magaacooka kwao. Mwanangĩko naguo nĩwathanĩtwo, mwanangĩko wa kuonania atĩ itua rĩake nĩ rĩa kĩhooto kũna.
23 For, a full end and that a decreed one, is My Lord Yahweh of hosts executing in the midst of all the earth.
Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩwe ũkaananga bũrũri ũcio wothe ta ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo.
24 Therefore, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, Do not fear O my people dwelling in Zion, because of Assyria, —When with his rod, he would smite thee, And when his staff, he would lift up against thee in the manner of Egypt;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Inyuĩ andũ akwa arĩa mũtũũraga Zayuni, mũtigetigĩre andũ a Ashuri, arĩa mamũhũũraga na rũthanju, na makamuoera njũgũma mamũũkĩrĩre ta ũrĩa mwekagwo Misiri.
25 For, yet a very little while, and displeasure shall end, Yea, mine anger, over their destruction.
Nĩgũkorwo no ihinda inini rĩtigaire marakara makwa igũrũ rĩanyu mathire, namo mangʼũrĩ makwa mamacookerere mamaniine.”
26 And Yahweh of hosts, will brandish over him, a scourge—Like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, —And his staff being over the sea, He will lift it up in the manner of Egypt;
Ningĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩakamahũũra na kĩboko, o ta ũrĩa Amidiani mekirwo rĩrĩa mooragĩirwo rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga rĩa Orebu; na nĩakambararia mũthĩgi wake igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, o ta ũrĩa eekire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri.
27 And it shall come to pass, in that day, That his burden shall remove from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, —Yea, the yoke shall be broken because of fatness.
Mũthenya ũcio mũrigo wao nĩũkeherio ciande-inĩ ciaku, narĩo icooki rĩao rĩeherio ngingo-inĩ cianyu; icooki rĩu nĩrĩkoinangwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wee ũitĩrĩirio maguta.
28 He hath come in unto Ayyath, Hath passed through Migron, —At Michmash, storeth his baggage:
Nĩmaratoonya Aiathu; maratuĩkanĩria Migironi; o na maraiga igĩĩna ciao Mikimashi.
29 They have passed over the pass, Geba is his halting-place, —Terror-stricken is Ramah, Gibeah of Saul, hath fled!
Nao makĩhĩtũkĩra mũkuru-inĩ, makoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũtukũ ũyũ tũkũraarĩrĩra Geba.” Rama nĩkũinaina kũrainaina; nakuo Gibea itũũra rĩa Saũlũ nĩ kũũra rĩroora.
30 Make shrill thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! Hearken, O Laishah, Answer, O Anathoth!
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mwarĩ wa Galimu, uga mbu! Wee Laisha, thikĩrĩria! Nawe Anathothu, wũi-ĩ!
31 Madmenah, hath fled, —The inhabitants of Gebim, have gone into safety:
Andũ a Madimena nĩ kũũra maroora; nao andũ a Gebimu nĩ kwĩhitha marehitha.
32 While yet to-day, in Nob, he tarrieth, He brandisheth his hand toward The mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.
Mũthenya wa ũmũthĩ marĩrũgama kũu Nobu; maramainainĩria ngundi marĩ kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, o kũu karĩma-inĩ ka Jerusalemu.
33 Behold! the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, is about to lop off a tree-crown, with a crash, —Then shall, they who are lifted on high, be hewn down, And, the lofty, be laid low;
Atĩrĩrĩ, Mwathani, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩagaceeha honge na hinya mũnene. Mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene mũno nĩĩgatemwo, ĩgũithio thĩ, na ĩrĩa mĩraihu ĩnyiihio.
34 Then will he fell the thickets of the forest with iron, —And, Lebanon by a majestic one shall fall.
Nĩagatema ihinga cia mũtitũ na ithanwa; Lebanoni nĩĩkagũithio nĩ Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Hinya.
