Isaiah 65
1 “I was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek. I said, 'Here I am! Here I am!' to a nation that did not call on my name.
“Niĩ ndeguũrĩirie andũ arĩa mataahooyaga kĩrĩra; na andũ arĩa mataamaathaga niĩ, nĩo maanyonire. Naruo rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũtarĩ rwahooya rũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, ngĩrwĩra atĩrĩ: ‘Niĩ ũyũ haha, niĩ ũyũ haha.’
2 I have spread out my hands all day to a stubborn people, who walk in a way that is not good, who have walked after their own thoughts and plans!
Mũthenya wothe ndindaga ndambũrũkĩirie moko makwa kũrĩ andũ aremi, arĩa matathiiaga na mĩthiĩre mĩega, no marũmagĩrĩra mathugunda mao:
3 They are a people who continually offend me, offering sacrifices in gardens, and burning incense on brick tiles.
o andũ arĩa matũũraga maathirĩkagia o ũthiũ-inĩ wakwa, makarutagĩra magongona mĩgũnda-inĩ, na magacinagĩra ũbumba igongona-inĩ cia maturubarĩ;
4 They sit among the graves and keep watch all night, and eat pork with the broth of foul meat in their dishes.
arĩa matindaga maikarĩte mbĩrĩra-inĩ, makarara meiguĩte na hitho ũtukũ wothe; arĩa makĩrĩĩaga nyama cia ngũrwe, na nyũngũ ciao ciyũrĩte thaathi wa nyama irĩ thaahu;
5 They say, 'Stand away, do not come near to me, for I am holier than you.' These things are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day long.
andũ acio moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Njeherera, tiga kũnguhĩrĩria, tondũ niĩ ndĩ mũtheru gũgũkĩra!’ Andũ ta acio mahaana ta ndogo maniũrũ-inĩ makwa, na ta mwaki wakanaga mũthenya wothe.
6 Look, it is written before me: I will not keep quiet, for I will pay them back; I will repay them into their laps,
“Atĩrĩrĩ, mbere yakwa gũtũire kwandĩkĩtwo maũndũ macio: ndigũtũũra ngirĩte ki, no rĩrĩ, nĩngarĩhanĩria kũna; ti-itherũ ngaarĩhanĩria o ciero-inĩ ciao,
7 for their sins and the sins of their fathers together,” says Yahweh. “I will repay them for burning incense on the mountains and for mocking me on the hills. I will therefore measure out their past deeds into their laps.”
ndĩhanĩrie mehia manyu inyuĩ ene, o na mehia ma maithe manyu,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Tondũ nĩmacinĩire ũbumba irĩma-igũrũ, na makĩĩnuma marĩ kũu tũrĩma-igũrũ, nĩngerĩhĩria ciero-inĩ ciao, ndĩmarĩhe irĩhi rĩothe nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao cia mbere.”
8 This is what Yahweh says, “As when juice is found in a cluster of grapes, when one says, 'Do not ruin it, for there is good in it,' this is what I will do for my servants' sake: I will not ruin them all.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “O ta ũrĩa ngogoyo yonekaga kĩmanjĩka-inĩ gĩa thabibũ, nao andũ makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Tiga gũkĩananga, hahota gũkorwo na kĩndũ kĩega thĩinĩ wakĩo,’ ũguo noguo ngeeka nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata ciakwa; ndigaciniina ciothe.
9 I will bring descendants from Jacob, and from Judah ones who will possess my mountains. My chosen ones will possess the land, and my servants will live there.
Ngaaruta njiaro kuuma kũrĩ Jakubu, nao agai a irĩma ciakwa moime Juda; andũ akwa arĩa niĩ ndĩthuurĩire nĩo magaacigaya, nacio ndungata ciakwa itũũre kuo.
10 Sharon will become a pasture for the flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for my people who seek me.
Sharoni gũgaatuĩka ũrĩithio wa ndũũru cia mbũri, na Gĩtuamba-kĩa-Akori gĩtuĩke handũ ha kwarahagwo nĩ mahiũ, nĩ ũndũ wa andũ akwa arĩa matũire manjaragia.
11 But you who abandon Yahweh, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and fill wine glasses of mixed wine for Destiny.
“No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ arĩa mũtiganĩirie Jehova, na mũkariganĩrwo nĩ kĩrĩma gĩakwa kĩrĩa kĩamũre, inyuĩ arĩa mwaragĩra metha ngai ya maheeni ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Mũreehi-mũnyaka, na mũkaiyũria mbakũri cia ndibei ya mũtukanio mũgaitĩra ngai ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Mũreehi-mũtino nĩguo mũmĩhoorerie-rĩ,
12 I will appoint you for the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter, because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not listen. But you did what was evil in my sight and and chose to do what displeases me.”
ngaamwathĩrĩria kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na inyuothe mũkegũithia thĩ mũũragwo; nĩgũkorwo ndamwĩtire mũkĩaga kũnjĩtĩka, na ndamwarĩirie mũkĩaga gũthikĩrĩria. Mwekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ makwa, na mũgĩthuura maũndũ marĩa matangenagia.”
13 This is what the Lord Yahweh says, “Look, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; look, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty; look, my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Mwathani ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ndungata ciakwa nĩikaarĩa irio, no inyuĩ nĩmũkahũũta; ndungata ciakwa nĩikaanyua, no inyuĩ nĩmũkanyoota; ndungata ciakwa nĩigakena, no inyuĩ nĩmũgaconorithio.
14 Look, my servants will shout with joy because of gladness of heart, but you will cry because of the pain of the heart, and will wail because of the crushing of the spirit.
O na ningĩ ndungata ciakwa nĩikaina nĩgũcanjamũka ngoro, no inyuĩ nĩmũkarĩra nĩ ũndũ wa ruo rwa ngoro, na mũgirĩke nĩ ũndũ wa gũthuthĩka ngoro.
15 You will leave behind your name as a curse for my chosen ones to speak; I, the Lord Yahweh, will kill you; I will call my servants by another name.
Marĩĩtwa manyu mũkaamatigĩra andũ akwa arĩa ndĩthuurĩire, mamatũmagĩre rĩrĩa mekwenda kũruma andũ; Mwathani Jehova nĩagakũũraga, no ndungata ciake agaaciĩtaga marĩĩtwa mangĩ.
16 Whoever pronounces a blessing on the earth will be blessed by me, the God of truth. Whoever takes an oath on the earth will swear by me, the God of truth, because the former troubles will be forgotten, for they will be hidden from my eyes.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũkaahoera bũrũri kĩrathimo, ageeka ũguo akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai ũrĩa wa ma; ningĩ ũrĩa ũkeehĩta na mwĩhĩtwa bũrũri-inĩ, akeehĩta akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai ũrĩa wa ma. Nĩgũkorwo mathĩĩna marĩa ma tene nĩmakariganĩra, na mahithwo maitho-inĩ makwa.
17 For see, I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered or be brought to mind.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngũmba igũrũ rĩerũ o na thĩ njerũ. Maũndũ marĩa ma tene matigacooka kũririkanwo, o na kana meciirio.
18 But you will be glad and rejoice forever in what I am about to create. See, I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and her people as a delight.
No rĩrĩ, canjamũkai na mũkenere indo iria ngũmba tene na tene, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũmba itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩtuĩke rĩa gũkenerwo, na andũ a rĩo matuĩke a gũkenania.
19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem and be glad over my people; weeping and cries of distress will no longer be heard in her.
Nĩngakenera Jerusalemu na njanjamũke nĩ ũndũ wa andũ akwa; naguo mũgambo wa kĩgirĩko o na kana wa kĩrĩro ndũkaiguuo kũu rĩngĩ.
20 Never again will an infant live there only a few days; nor will an old man die before his time. One who dies at one hundred years old will be considered a young person. Anyone who fails to reach the age of one hundred years old will be considered cursed.
“Kũu gũtirĩ mwana wa rũkenge ũgaacooka gũkua arĩ na matukũ manini, o na kana mũndũ mũkũrũ akue atatũũrĩte mĩaka yake yothe; mũndũ ũrĩa ũgaakua arĩ na mĩaka igana akoonagwo taarĩ mũndũ mwĩthĩ; nake ũrĩa ũtagaakinyia mĩaka igana akoonagwo ta arumĩtwo na kĩrumi.
21 They will build houses and inhabit them, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Nao nĩmagaka nyũmba na macitũũre; makaahaanda mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na marĩĩage maciaro mayo.
22 No longer will they build a house and another live in it; they will not plant, and another eat; for as the days of trees will be the days of my people. My chosen will fully outlive the work of their hands.
Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ magaaka nyũmba ituĩke cia gũtũũrwo nĩ andũ angĩ, o na kana mahaande irio irĩĩo nĩ andũ angĩ. Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa matukũ ma mũtĩ maigana, ũguo noguo matukũ ma andũ akwa magaakorwo maigana; andũ akwa arĩa athuure magaatũũra makenagĩra wĩra wa moko mao ihinda iraaya.
23 They will not labor in vain, nor give birth to dismay. For they are the children of those blessed by Yahweh, and their descendants with them.
Nao matigacooka kũruta wĩra wa tũhũ, o na kana maciare ciana ciathĩrĩirio mũtino; nĩgũkorwo magaatuĩka andũ arathime nĩ Jehova, o hamwe na njiaro ciao.
24 Before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
Na nĩgũgatuĩka atĩrĩ, o mbere mataananjĩta-rĩ, nĩngamacookeria ũhoro; ningĩ o makĩaragia-rĩ, nĩngakorwo njiguĩte.
25 The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; but dust will be the serpent's food. They will no longer hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.
Nayo njũũi na kagondu ikaarĩĩaga hamwe, naguo mũrũũthi ũkarĩĩaga nyeki ta ndegwa, no rũkũngũ nĩruo rũgaatuĩka irio cia nyoka. Itikagerana ngero kana cianangane kũu guothe kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa kĩamũre,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
