< Isaiah 31 >

1 Woe to! those [who] go down Egypt for help on horses they depend and they have relied on chariotry for [it is] many and on horsemen for they are numerous exceedingly and not they look on [the] holy [one] of Israel and Yahweh not they seek.
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 And also he [is] wise and he has brought calamity and words his not he has turned aside and he will rise up on [the] house of evil-doers and on [the] help of [those who] do wickedness.
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 And Egypt [is] humankind and not God and horses their [are] flesh and not spirit and Yahweh he will stretch out hand his and he will stumble [one who] helps and he will fall [one who] is helped and together all of them they will come to an end!
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 he has said Yahweh - to me just as it growls the lion and the young lion over prey its that it is summoned on it a multitude of shepherds from voice their not it is dismayed and from tumult their not it cringes so he will come down Yahweh of hosts to wage war on [the] mountain of Zion and on hill its.
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 Like birds flying so he will defend Yahweh of hosts Jerusalem he will defend [it] and he will rescue [it] he will pass over [it] and he will deliver [it].
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 to [the one] whom they have made deep rebellion [the] people of Israel.
Inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli-rĩ, cookererai ũcio mũtũire mũremeire mũno.
7 For in the day that they will reject! everyone [the] idols of silver his and [the] idols of gold his which they have made for you hands your sin.
Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya ũcio o mũndũ wanyu nĩagatee mĩhianano ya betha na ya thahabu ĩrĩa mwĩthondekeire na moko manyu ĩgatũma mwĩhie.
8 And it will fall Assyria by a sword not a human and a sword not a human it will consume it and it will flee itself from before a sword and young men its forced labor they will become.
“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 rock its from terror it will pass away and they will be dismayed from a standard commanders its [the] utterance of Yahweh who fire [belongs] to him in Zion and an oven [belongs] to him 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.
