Isaiah 31
1 Alas! for them who are going down to Egypt for help, On horses, would rely, —And have trusted—In chariots—because they are many, and In horsemen, because they are very bold, But have not looked unto the Holy One of Israel, And onto Yahweh, have not sought.
Kaĩ arĩa maikũrũkaga magathiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri gwetha ũteithio marĩ na haaro-ĩ, o acio mehokaga hinya wa mbarathi, na makehoka ũingĩ wa ngaari cia ita, na makehoka hinya mũnene wa andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi, na makaaga gũcũthĩrĩria Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, o na makaaga gũcaria ũteithio kuuma kũrĩ Jehova.
2 But, he also, is wise, and hath brought in calamity, And his own words, hath he not set aside, —Therefore will he rise up, Against the house of evil-doers, and Against the help of the workers of iniquity.
No rĩrĩ, o nake Jehova nĩ mũũgĩ na no amarehithĩrie mwanangĩko, nĩgũkorwo ndericũkagwo ũrĩa oigĩte. We nĩakarahũka okĩrĩre nyũmba ya andũ arĩa aaganu, na okĩrĩre arĩa mateithagĩrĩria andũ arĩa mekaga maũndũ mooru.
3 Now, the Egyptians, are, men, and not, GOD, And, their horses, flesh, and not, spirit; When, Yahweh, shall stretch out his hand, Then, he that is giving help, shall stumble And, he that is receiving help, shall fall, And, together, shall, all of them, vanish!
No rĩrĩ, andũ a Misiri no andũ tu, na ti Mũrungu; nacio mbarathi ciao no nyama na itirĩ roho thĩinĩ wacio. Rĩrĩa Jehova aatambũrũkia guoko gwake, ũcio ũteithanagia nĩahĩngagwo, na ũcio ũteithagio nĩagũũaga; nao eerĩ makaaniinwo hamwe.
4 For Thus, hath Yahweh said unto me—Like as a lion or a young lion growleth over his prey. Who—though there be called out against him a multitude of shepherds—Will not at their voice, be dismayed, Nor, at their noise, be daunted, So, will Yahweh of hosts come down, to make war over Mount Zion, and over the hill thereof.
Jehova anjĩĩrĩte atĩrĩ: “O ta ũrĩa mũrũũthi ũraramaga, mũrũũthi njamba ũkĩrĩa nyamũ ĩrĩa ũnyiitĩte, na ndũmakagio nĩ mĩgambo ya arĩithi o na mokĩte marĩ gĩkundi kĩnene metĩtwo hamwe nĩguo maũũkĩrĩre, kana wĩtigĩre nĩ ũndũ wa inegene rĩao-rĩ, ũguo noguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe agaikũrũka, arũe arĩ kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni, o na ciambatĩro ciakĩo.
5 As little mother-birds hovering, so, will Yahweh of hosts throw a covering over Jerusalem, —Covering, so will he rescue, Passing over, so will he deliver!
O ta ũrĩa nyoni ĩreeraga rĩera-inĩ, ũguo noguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe akaagitĩra itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu; akaarĩgitĩra na arĩkũũre, ‘akaahĩtũkĩra igũrũ rĩa rĩo’ nĩguo arĩhonokie.”
6 Return ye unto him against whom the sons of Israel have deeply revolted,
Inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli-rĩ, cookererai ũcio mũtũire mũremeire mũno.
7 For in that day, will every man reject his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, —Which your hands had made for you as a sin!
Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya ũcio o mũndũ wanyu nĩagatee mĩhianano ya betha na ya thahabu ĩrĩa mwĩthondekeire na moko manyu ĩgatũma mwĩhie.
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall, by the sword, not of a great man, And the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him, —Howbeit he shall take his flight from the face of a sword, And his young men, shall come under tribute;
“Andũ a Ashuri makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora no ti rwa mũndũ; rũhiũ rwa njora nĩruo rũkaamaniina biũ, no ti rwa andũ. Nĩmakoorĩra rũhiũ rũu rwa njora, na aanake ao makaanyiitwo, marutithio wĩra na hinya.
9 And his own Cliff, through terror, shall he pass by, And his princes shall be dismayed at an ensign, —Declareth Yahweh. Who hath a flame in Zion, And hath a furnace in Jerusalem.
Nacio ciĩhitho ciao cia hinya nĩikaagũa nĩ ũndũ wa guoya; nao anene ao a ita moona bendera ya ita nĩmakamaka mũno,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, ũrĩa wakĩtie mwaki wake Zayuni, o na icua rĩake rĩa mwaki rĩrĩ kũu Jerusalemu.
