Isaiah 1
1 [the] vision of Isaiah [the] son of Amoz which he saw on Judah and Jerusalem in [the] days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah [the] kings of Judah.
Maya nĩmo maũndũ marĩa maaguũrĩirio Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu, makoniĩ Juda na Jerusalemu hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Uzia, na wa Jothamu, na wa Ahazu, na wa Hezekia, arĩa maarĩ athamaki a Juda.
2 Hear O heavens and give ear O earth for Yahweh he has spoken children I have brought up and I have raised and they they have rebelled against me.
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee igũrũ, ta thikĩrĩria! Nawe thĩ ta igua! Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩarĩtie akoiga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ heete ciana irio, ngacirera igakũra, no cio ikaanemera.
3 It knows an ox owner its and a donkey [the] feeding trough of owner its Israel not it knows people my not it considers carefully.
Ndegwa nĩyũũĩ mwene yo, nayo ndigiri ĩkamenya mũharatĩ wa mwene yo, no Isiraeli ndarĩ ũndũ ooĩ, andũ akwa nĩmagĩte ũmenyo.”
4 Woe to! - a nation [which] sins a people heavy of iniquity of spring [who] do evil children [who] behave corruptly they have forsaken Yahweh they have spurned [the] holy [one] of Israel they have become estranged back part.
Hĩ! Kaĩ mũrĩ rũrĩrĩ rwĩhagia-ĩ. Mũrĩ andũ matitikĩte mahĩtia, na rũruka rwa andũ mekaga ũũru, na ciana ciĩrutĩire gũthũkia maũndũ! Nĩmatiganĩirie Jehova; nĩmamenete Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, makamũhutatĩra, magacooka na thuutha.
5 Concerning what? will you be struck again will you increase? rebellion all [the] head [is] for sickness and all [the] heart [is] faint.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mwende gũikara mũkĩhũũragwo? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũthiĩ o na mbere kũrema? Mũtwe wothe nĩmũtihangie, nayo ngoro yothe ĩkanyamarĩka.
6 From [the] sole of [the] foot and to [the] head there not in it [is] soundness bruise[s] and welt[s] and wound[s] fresh not they have been pressed out and not they have been bound up and not it has been softened with oil.
Kuuma ikinya rĩa kũgũrũ nginya mũtwe gũtirĩ handũ hagima: no nguraro theri, na mĩtũnda, na ironda cia ndĩĩra itarĩ thambie, kana ikoohwo, kana ikororoiyo na maguta.
7 Land your [is] a desolation cities your [have been] burned fire ground your to before you strangers [are] devouring it and desolation [is] like [the] overthrow of strangers.
Bũrũri wanyu ũkirĩte ihooru, matũũra manyu manene magacinwo na mwaki; mĩgũnda yanyu ĩramathwo ĩgatigwo ũtheri nĩ andũ a kũngĩ o mũkĩonaga, ĩkoonũhwo ta ĩngʼaũranĩtio nĩ ageni.
8 And she has been left [the] daughter of Zion like a shelter in a vineyard like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field like a city besieged.
Mwarĩ wa Zayuni atiganĩirio ta gĩthũnũ kĩrĩ mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ, agatiganĩrio ta kanyũmba karĩ mũgũnda wa marenge, o na ta itũũra inene rĩthiũrũrũkĩirio nĩ thũ ikĩenda kũrĩtunyana.
9 If not Yahweh of hosts he had left to us survivor[s] like a little like Sodom we were Gomorrah we were like.
Tiga Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aatũtigĩirie matigari manini ma andũ-rĩ, tũngĩtuĩkĩte ta Sodomu, na tũkahaana ta Gomora!
10 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O rulers of Sodom give ear to [the] instruction of God our O people of Gomorrah.
Thikĩrĩriai kiugo kĩa Jehova, inyuĩ mwathanaga Sodomu; na mũigue watho wa Ngai witũ, inyuĩ andũ a Gomora!
11 Why? to me [the] multitude of sacrifices your he says Yahweh I have been surfeited burnt offerings of rams and [the] fat of fatlings and [the] blood of bulls and lambs and goats not I am pleased.
“Magongona macio manyu mũndutagĩra maingĩ-rĩ, nĩ ma kĩ kũrĩ niĩ?” Ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekũũria. “Nĩnjiganĩtwo nĩ magongona ma njino, na magongona ma ndũrũme, na maguta ma nyamũ noru; niĩ ndikenagĩra thakame ya ndegwa, na ya tũtũrũme, o na ya mbũri.
12 If you come to present yourselves presence my who? did he require this from hand your to trample courts my.
Nũũ ũkoragwo amwĩrĩte mũndutĩre magongona macio rĩrĩa mũgũũka mbere yakwa kũũhooya, mũkĩrangaga nja cia nyũmba yakwa?
13 Not you must repeat to bring an offering of worthlessness incense [is] an abomination it to me new moon and sabbath [the] calling of convocation[s] not I am able to endure wickedness and solemn assembli[es].
Tigai gũcooka kũrehe maruta ma tũhũ! Ũbumba wanyu nĩ kĩndũ kĩa magigi harĩ niĩ. Ndingĩhota gũkirĩrĩria ciũngano cianyu cia waganu: mĩcemanio yanyu ya Karũgamo ka Mweri, na Thabatũ, o na ciathĩ iria njathane.
14 New moons your and appointed feasts your it hates self my they have become on me a burden I am weary to bear [them].
Ngoro yakwa nĩĩthũire ciathĩ cianyu cia Karũgamo ka Mweri, o na ciathĩ iria njathane. Maũndũ macio matuĩkĩte mũrigo harĩ niĩ, nĩmanogetie.
15 And when spread out you hands your I will hide eyes my from you also for you will multiply prayer not I [will be] hearing hands your blood they are full.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mwambararia moko manyu na igũrũ mũkĩhooya, nĩndĩrĩmũhithaga maitho makwa ndikamuone; o na mũngĩhooya mahooya maingĩ ndirĩmũiguaga. Nĩgũkorwo moko manyu maiyũrĩtwo nĩ thakame;
16 Wash cleanse yourselves remove [the] wickedness of deeds your from before eyes my cease to do evil.
mwĩthambei mwĩtherie. Eheriai ciĩko cianyu njũru maitho-inĩ makwa! Tigai gwĩka maũndũ mooru,
17 learn To do good seek justice set right [the] oppressor vindicate [the] fatherless conduct a case for [the] widow.
mwĩrutei gwĩkaga wega! Thingatagai ciira wa kĩhooto, na mũkoomĩrĩria arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie. Tuagai ciira wa ciana cia ngoriai na kĩhooto, na mũthaithanagĩrĩre mũtumia wa ndigwa.”
18 Come please so let us argue our case together he says Yahweh though they are sins your like scarlet like snow they will become white though they are red like crimson like wool they will be.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai tũciire. O na mehia manyu mangĩkorwo matunĩhĩte ta gakarakũ-rĩ, nĩmagathera o ta ira; o na maatuĩka matunĩhĩte ta thakame, nĩmakerũha o ta guoya wa ngʼondu.
19 If you will be willing and you will obey [the] good thing[s] of the land you will eat.
Mũngĩnjigua na mũnjathĩkĩre, nĩ mũrĩrĩĩaga indo iria njega mũno cia bũrũri;
20 And if you will refuse and you will rebel [the] sword you will be eaten for [the] mouth of Yahweh it has spoken.
no mũngĩrema na mũrege gwathĩka, mũkaaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.” Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kanua ka Jehova koigĩte ũguo.
21 How! it has become a prostitute a town faithful full of justice righteousness it lodged in it and now murderers.
Hĩ! Kaĩ itũũra inene rĩrĩa rĩĩhokeku nĩrĩtuĩkĩte ta mũmaraya-ĩ! Hĩndĩ ĩmwe rĩaiyũrĩte ũtuanĩri ciira wa kĩhooto; ũthingu nĩguo watũũraga thĩinĩ warĩo, no rĩu nĩ oragani matũũraga kuo!
22 Silver your it has become dross drink your [has been] mixed with water.
Betha yanyu ĩtuĩkĩte gĩko, ndibei yanyu ĩrĩa njega mũno ĩgatukanio na maaĩ.
23 Leaders your [are] rebels and companions of thieves all of it [is] loving a bribe and [is] pursuing rewards [the] fatherless not they vindicate and [the] lawsuit of a widow not it comes to them.
Andũ anyu arĩa mamwathaga nĩ kũrema maremete, magatuĩka a thiritũ ya aici; othe nĩmendete mahaki, nao mahanyũkanagia na indo cia kũheo. Maticiiragĩra ciana cia ngoriai na kĩhooto; na matithikagĩrĩria ciira wa mũtumia wa ndigwa.
24 Therefore [the] utterance of the lord Yahweh of hosts [the] mighty one of Israel woe! I will ease myself from foes my and I will avenge myself from enemies my.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, O we Mwene Hinya wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Nĩngaitĩrĩria amuku akwa mangʼũrĩ makwa, na ndĩĩrĩhĩrie harĩ thũ ciakwa.
25 And I will turn hand my on you so I may refine like potash dross your and I will remove all slag your.
Nĩngagũũkĩrĩra na guoko gwakwa; ngagũtheria gĩko gĩaku gĩthire biũ, na maũndũ maku mothe marĩa matarĩ matheru ndĩmatherie.
26 And I will restore judges your as at the former [time] and counselors your as at the beginning after thus it will be called to you [the] city of righteousness a town faithful.
Aciirithania aku ngaatũma matuĩke o ta ũrĩa maatariĩ matukũ-inĩ ma tene, na aheani kĩrĩra aku o ta ũrĩa maatariĩ kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ. Thuutha ũcio ũgeetagwo Itũũra Inene rĩa Ũthingu, o na Itũũra Inene Rĩĩhokeku.”
27 Zion with justice it will be redeemed and repentant [ones] its with righteousness.
Itũũra rĩa Zayuni rĩgaakũũrwo na ciira wa kĩhooto, nao andũ a rĩo arĩa merirĩte makũũrwo na ũthingu.
28 And a crushing of rebels and sinners together and [those who] forsake Yahweh they will come to an end.
No andũ arĩa aremi na arĩa ehia makaaniinwo hamwe, nao arĩa matiganagĩria Jehova nĩmagathira biũ.
29 For they will be ashamed from [the] oaks which you have desired and you may be abashed from the gardens which you have chosen.
“Nĩmũgaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa mĩgandi ĩyo mĩamũre mũtũire mũkenagĩra; nĩmũkaigua thoni nĩ ũndũ wa mĩgũnda ĩyo mwĩthuurĩire.
30 For you will be like an oak [which is] withering leafage its and like a garden which water not [belongs] to it.
Mũgaatuĩka ta mũgandi ũrahooha mathangũ, mũtuĩke ta mũgũnda ũtarĩ maaĩ.
31 And he will become the strong [person] tow and work his a spark and they will burn both of them together and there not [will be one who] extinguishes.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ hinya agaatuĩka maragara, naguo wĩra wake ũtuĩke thandĩ; we na wĩra wake nĩmakahĩa hamwe, haage mũndũ wa kũhoria mwaki ũcio.”
