Isaiah 7
1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, came up, to Jerusalem, to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ahazu mũrũ wa Jothamu, mũrũ wa Uzia, aarĩ mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, Rezini mũthamaki wa Suriata marĩ na Peka mũrũ wa Remalia mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, makĩambata mathiĩ magatharĩkĩre itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, no matiigana kũrĩtooria.
2 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria hath settled down upon Ephraim. Then shook his heart, and the heart of his people, as the trees of a forest shake before a wind.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a nyũmba ya Daudi nĩ meerirwo atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Suriata nĩmanyiitanĩte na andũ a Efiraimu”; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro ya Ahazu o na ngoro cia andũ ake ikĩinaina o ta ũrĩa mĩtĩ ya mũtitũ ĩinainagio nĩ rũhuho.
3 Then said Yahweh, unto Isaiah, Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, —unto the end of the channel of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller’s field;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩra Isaia atĩrĩ, “Umagara, wee mũrĩ na mũrũguo Sheari-Jashubu, mũthiĩ mũgatũnge Ahazu mũthia-inĩ wa mũtaro ũrĩa uumĩte Karia-inĩ ka Rũgongo, njĩra-inĩ ya gũthiĩ Gĩthaka kĩa Mũthambia-Nguo.
4 and say unto him—Take heed and keep thyself calm—do not fear, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two fag-ends of smoking firebrands, —in spite of the glow of the anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah.
Ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩmenyerere, ũikare ũhooreire na ndũgetigĩre. Ndũkareke ũũrwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa icinga icio igĩrĩ iratooga ndogo; ndũgetigĩre marakara mahiũ ma Rezini, na ma Suriata, o na ma mũrũ wa Remalia.
5 Because Syria, hath taken counsel against thee, for mischief, —[with] Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
Suriata, na Efiraimu, na mũrũ wa Remalia nĩmaciirĩire gũkwananga, makoiga atĩrĩ,
6 Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and break it open, for ourselves, —and set up a king in the midst thereof, even the son of Tabeal,
“Nĩtũtharĩkĩre Juda, tũkũnyariire na tũkũgayane, na tũtue mũrũ wa Tabeeli mũthamaki wakuo.”
7 Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, —It shall not stand Neither shall it come to pass!
No rĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Ũhoro ũcio ndũgaakinyanĩra, na ndũgekĩka,
8 For, though the head of Syria is Damascus, And, the head of Damascus, is Rezin, Yet within threescore and five years more, shall Ephraim be broken that it shall not be a people;
nĩgũkorwo itũũra inene rĩa Suriata nĩ Dameski, na mũnene wa Dameski no Rezini. Ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na ĩtano ĩtaanathira-rĩ, andũ a Efiraimu magaakorwo maharaganĩtio ũndũ matangĩcooka gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ.
9 Even though the head of Ephraim is Samaria, And, the head of Samaria, is the son of Remaliah. If ye trust not, Surely, ye cannot be trusted!
Ningĩ itũũra inene rĩa Efiraimu nĩ Samaria, na mũnene wa Samaria no mũrũ wa Remalia. Mũngĩaga kũrũgama mũrũmĩte wega wĩtĩkio-inĩ wanyu-rĩ, mũtikehaanda o na atĩa.’”
10 And again spake Yahweh unto Ahaz saying—
Ningĩ Jehova nĩarĩirie Ahazu o rĩngĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
11 Ask thee a sign, of Yahweh thy God, —Go down deep for a request, Or ascend on high! (Sheol h7585)
“Ĩtia kĩmenyithia kuuma kũrĩ Jehova Ngai waku, o na kiumĩte kũndũ kũrĩa kũriku mũno, kana kiumĩte igũrũ kũrĩa kũraihu mũno.” (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz said, —I will not ask Nor will I put Yahweh to the proof.
No Ahazu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndigwĩtia; niĩ ndikũgeria Jehova.”
13 Then said he—Hear, I pray you, O house of David! Is it, too little, for you to weary men, that ye must weary even my God?
Ningĩ Isaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta iguai rĩu, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Daudi! Anga mũkuona arĩ ũndũ mũnini kũgeria ũkirĩrĩria wa andũ? Anga nĩmũũkũgeria ũkirĩrĩria wa Ngai wakwa o naguo?
14 Wherefore let My Lord Himself give you a sign, —Lo! a Virgin, being with child and giving birth to a son, thou wilt call his name Immanuel.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Mwathani we mwene nĩakamũhe kĩmenyithia: Nĩgũkorwo mũirĩtu gathirange nĩakagĩa nda aciare kahĩĩ, nake agatue Imanueli.
15 Curds and honey, shall he eat, by the time that he knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good;
Iria imata na ũũkĩ nĩcio gakarĩĩaga rĩrĩa gakaamenya kũrega ũũru na gwĩthuurĩra maũndũ marĩa mega.
16 for before the boy knoweth to refuse the bad and choose the good, forsaken shall be the land, at which, thou, art alarmed, of the presence of both her kings.
No mbere ya kahĩĩ kau kũmenya kũrega ũũru na gwĩthuurĩra maũndũ marĩa mega-rĩ, bũrũri ũcio wa athamaki acio eerĩ wĩtigĩrĩte nĩũkanangwo.
17 Yahweh will bring upon thee and upon thy people, and upon the house of thy father, days which have not come, from the day when Ephraim departed from Judah, —even the king of Assyria.
Jehova nĩagakũrehithĩria wee mwene na andũ aku, o na andũ a nyũmba ya thoguo maũndũ matarĩ moneka kuuma rĩrĩa Efiraimu aatiganire na Juda; Jehova akaarehera mũthamaki wa Ashuri.”
18 And it shall come to pass in that day that Yahweh will give a signal—To the fly that is in the uttermost part of the Nile-canals of Egypt, And to the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova nĩakahuuhĩra ngi mĩrũri, aciĩte kuuma tũrũũĩ-inĩ twa kũraya twa bũrũri wa Misiri, na eete njũkĩ iria irĩ bũrũri wa Ashuri.
19 And they shall all of them come and settle down—In the desolate torrent-valleys, And in the rents of the crags, —And on all the thorn-bushes, And on all the pastures,
Nacio ciothe nĩcigooka ciikare iharũrũka-inĩ cia mĩkuru, na mĩatũka-inĩ ya ndwaro cia mahiga, na ihinga-inĩ ciothe cia mĩigua, na marima-inĩ mothe ma maaĩ.
20 In that day, will My Lord shave, with a hired razor, even with them of the lands over the River Euphrates, with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, —yea, even the beard, will it sweep off.
Mũthenya ũcio Mwathani nĩakahũthĩra rwenji rũkomboretwo kuuma mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Farati; naruo nĩruo mũthamaki wa Ashuri; nake nĩakenja mĩtwe yanyu na njuĩrĩ cia magũrũ manyu, o na ningĩ enje nderu cianyu.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow and two sheep.
Mũthenya ũcio, mũndũ akaarĩithia o moori ĩmwe na ngʼondu igĩrĩ.
22 Yea it shall come to pass for the abundance of the yield of milk, that he shall eat curds, —for, curds and honey, shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.
Na tondũ wa ũingĩ wa iria rĩrĩa igaakamagwo-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio akaanyuuaga iria imata. Arĩa othe magaatigara kũu bũrũri ũcio makaanyuuaga iria imata, na marĩĩage ũũkĩ.
23 And it shall some to pass in that day, that, every place wherein there used to be a thousand vines at a thousand pieces of silver, —yea, even for briars and thorns, shall it be.
Mũthenya ũcio, kũndũ kũrĩa guothe kwarĩ mĩthabibũ 1,000 ĩngĩendirio cekeri 1,000 ya betha, gũgaakũra o congʼe na mĩtĩ ya mĩigua.
24 With arrows and with a bow, shall one come in thither, —for briars and thorns, shall be all the land.
Andũ magaathiiaga kuo marĩ na ũta na mĩguĩ, nĩgũkorwo bũrũri ũcio ũkaiyũra congʼe, na mĩtĩ ya mĩigua.
25 But all the hills which, with the hoe, can be weeded, —there shall not come thither, the fear of briars and thorns, —but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the tread of lesser cattle.
Nakuo irĩma-inĩ guothe kũrĩa kwanarĩmwo na icembe, mũtigacooka gũthiĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra congʼe, na mĩtĩ ya mĩigua; kũndũ kũu gũgaatuĩka gwa kũrĩithagio ngʼombe, na gwa kũrangagwo nĩ ndũũru cia ngʼondu.
