Isaiah 63
1 [I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
Nũũ ũyũ ũroka oimĩte Edomu, akoima itũũra rĩa Bozara ehumbĩte nguo ndune ta thakame? Nũũ ũyũ wĩhumbĩte nguo irĩ na ũkengu, agĩkinyũkagia arĩ na hinya wa ũnene wake? “Nĩ niĩ, ngĩaragia ndeto cia ũthingu, na ndĩ na hinya wa kũhonokania.”
2 [I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte nguo ciaku itunĩhe, ta cia mũndũ ũraranga kĩhihĩro kĩa ndibei?
3 [He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
“Niĩ-rĩ, nĩnangĩte kĩhihĩro kĩa ndibei ndĩ nyiki; gũtirĩ mũndũ wa kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ o na ũmwe twarĩ nake. Ndamakinyĩrĩirie ndĩ na marakara, na ngĩmarangĩrĩria thĩ ndĩ na mangʼũrĩ; nayo thakame yao ĩkĩminjũkĩra nguo ciakwa, nacio ciothe ikĩgĩa na marooro mayo.
4 I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa kũrĩhanĩria warĩ ngoro-inĩ yakwa, naguo mwaka wa gũkũũra andũ akwa nĩmũkinyu.
5 I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
Niĩ nĩndacũthĩrĩirie, ngĩona atĩ hatiarĩ mũndũ wa kũndeithia, na ngĩgega tondũ gũtiarĩ na mũndũ wa kũndiirĩrĩra; nĩ ũndũ ũcio guoko gwakwa mwene nĩkuo kwahonokirie, namo mangʼũrĩ makwa mwene makĩndiirĩrĩra.
6 Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”
Nĩndakinyĩrĩirie ndũrĩrĩ ndĩ na marakara, ngĩtũma ituĩke ta irĩĩtwo nĩ njoohi nĩ ũndũ wa mangʼũrĩ makwa, nayo thakame yao ngĩmĩita thĩ.”
7 I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
Nĩngũheana ũhoro wa motugi ma Jehova, o na ciĩko ciake iria itũmaga agoocwo, kũringana na maũndũ mothe marĩa Jehova atwĩkĩire: ĩĩ, nĩngũheana ũhoro wa maũndũ maingĩ mega marĩa eekĩire nyũmba ya Isiraeli, kũringana na tha ciake, na motugi make maingĩ.
8 Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
Nĩ ũndũ oigire atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ acio nĩ andũ akwa, na nĩ ciana iria itakaheenia,” na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtuĩka Mũhonokia wao.
9 When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
Mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe o nake nĩathĩĩnĩkire, nake mũraika wake akĩmahonokia. Akĩmakũũra nĩ ũrĩa aamendete na akamaiguĩra tha, akĩmooya na agĩtũũra amakuuĩte matukũ mothe ma tene.
10 But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
No rĩrĩ, nĩmamũremeire na makĩiguithia Roho wake Mũtheru ũũru. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmagarũrũka, agĩtuĩka thũ yao, nake we mwene akĩrũa mbaara nao.
11 Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
Ningĩ andũ acio ake makĩririkana matukũ ma tene, o hĩndĩ ya Musa na andũ ake, makĩũria atĩrĩ: Ũrĩa wamaringirie iria, hamwe na mũrĩithi wa rũũru rwake-rĩ, akĩrĩ ha? Ĩ we ũrĩa wareehire Roho Mũtheru gatagatĩ kao-rĩ, akĩrĩ ha?
12 Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
Ũrĩa watũmire guoko gwake kwa hinya na kũrĩ riiri gũikare mwena wa ũrĩo wa Musa, akĩrĩ ha? O we ũrĩa wagayũkanirie maaĩ mbere yao, nĩguo egĩĩre na igweta nginya tene,
13 Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
ũrĩa wamatongoreirie kũndũ kũu kũriku, akĩrĩ ha? O ta mbarathi igĩtwarĩrwo werũ-inĩ-rĩ, matiahĩngirwo;
14 They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
o ta ũrĩa ngʼombe ithiiaga kwarahio gĩtuamba-inĩ, noguo o nao maaheirwo ũhurũko nĩ Roho wa Jehova, Ũguo nĩguo watongoririe andũ aku nĩgeetha wĩgĩĩre rĩĩtwa rĩ na riiri.
15 [Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
We ta cũthĩrĩria thĩ ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, wĩrorere, wone ũrĩa gũtariĩ ũrĩ gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩaku kĩu gĩtũũgĩru kĩa ũnene, o kĩu gĩtheru na kĩrĩ riiri. Kaĩ maũndũ maku marĩa wĩkaga ma kĩyo o na ma hinya makĩrĩ ha? Ũhoro wa ũrĩa ũtũiguagĩra tha na ũrĩa ũtũcakayagĩra ngoro-inĩ yaku-rĩ, nĩũgirĩtie ũtũkinyĩre.
16 You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
O na angĩkorwo Iburahĩmu ndatũũĩ, nake Isiraeli nĩatũkaanĩte-rĩ, Wee nĩwe Ithe witũ; Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩwe Ithe witũ, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ Mũkũũri witũ kuuma tene.
17 Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga ũtũrekererie tuume njĩra-inĩ ciaku, na ũkoomia ngoro ciitũ nĩguo twage gũgũtĩĩa? Garũrũka nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata ciaku, o mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo ĩtuĩkĩte igai rĩaku.
18 We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
Andũ aku arĩa aamũre nĩmegwatĩire bũrũri ũyũ wamaheire ũgĩtuĩka wao o ihinda inini, no rĩu thũ ciitũ nĩcirangĩrĩirie handũ haku harĩa haamũre.
19 Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
Ithuĩ tũrĩ andũ aku kuuma tene; no rĩrĩ, o ndũrĩ wamathamakĩra, o na matirĩ metanio na rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
