Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, anĩrĩra mũno, na ndũgakire. Anĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene o taarĩ karumbeta karagamba. Uumbũrĩre andũ akwa ũhoro wa ũremi wao, o na andũ a nyũmba ya Jakubu ũmoimbũrĩre mehia mao.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
Nĩgũkorwo manjaragia mũthenya o mũthenya; makonekaga ta mangĩenda mũno kũmenya njĩra ciakwa, ta marĩ rũrĩrĩ rwĩkaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire, na rũtatirikĩte maathani ma Ngai waruo. Mendaga ndĩmatuagĩre ciira wa kĩhooto, na makoneka makĩenda mũno Ngai amakuhĩrĩrie.
3 Why have we fasted, [say they], and thou seest not? [why] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labors.
Moragia atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte twĩhinge kũrĩa irio, nawe ũkaaga kuona? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte twĩnyiihie, nawe ũkaaga kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio?’ “No rĩrĩ, mũthenya wanyu wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio mwĩkaga o ũrĩa mũkwenda, na aruti othe anyu a wĩra mũkamahinyĩrĩria.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as [ye do this] day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
Kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio kwanyu kũrĩĩkagĩrĩria na ngũĩ na njũgitano, na mũkahũũrana na ngundi ta andũ aaganu. Kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio kwanyu kwa matukũ maya gũtingĩtũma mĩgambo yanyu ĩiguo kũu igũrũ.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? [is it] to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio kwa mũthemba ũcio wa mũndũ kwĩnyiihia mũthenya o ũmwe tu-rĩ, nĩkuo niĩ thuurĩte? Kwĩhinga no kũinamia mũtwe ta ithanjĩ, na gũkomera nguo ya ikũnia, o na mũhu? Kũu nĩkuo mwĩtaga kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio, na mũkawĩta mũthenya wa gwĩtĩkĩrĩka nĩ Jehova?
6 [Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
“Githĩ mũthemba ũrĩa thuurĩte wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio ti ũyũ: kuohora arĩa moohetwo na njĩra ĩtarĩ ya kĩhooto, na kuohoraga mĩkwa ya icooki rĩa ngingo, na kũrekereria arĩa mahinyĩrĩirio, o na kuunanga macooki mothe ma ngingo?
7 [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou shouldst bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou shouldst cover him; and that thou shouldst not hide thyself from thy own flesh?
Githĩ ti kũgayanaga irio ciaku na andũ arĩa ahũtu, na ũrehage athĩĩni arĩa matarĩ ũikaro gwaku mũciĩ, na rĩrĩa wona mũndũ arĩ njaga ũkamũhumba nguo, na ndũkanahutatĩre andũ arĩa mũrĩ a mũthiimo ũmwe nao?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rear-ward.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũtheri waku nĩũgaathera o ta ũrĩa gũtherũrũkaga rũciinĩ, nakuo kũhonio gwaku nĩgũkooneka o narua; ningĩ ũthingu waku nĩũgagũtongoria, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkuume thuutha, ũkũgitĩre.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I [am]. If thou shalt take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Ningĩ hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũgeetana, nake Jehova nĩagagwĩtĩka; nĩũgakaya ũteithio, nake nĩakoiga atĩrĩ: Ĩĩ niĩ ũyũ haha. “Ũngĩeheria icooki rĩa kũhinyanĩrĩria, na weherie kĩara kĩrĩa worotanaga nakĩo, na ndeto cia rũmena-rĩ,
10 And [if] thou shalt draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness [be] as the noon day:
ningĩ ũngĩĩrutĩra kũhũũnia andũ arĩa ahũtu, nao arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie ũmahingĩrie maũndũ marĩa mamabatairie, hĩndĩ ĩyo ũtheri waku nĩũgaathera kũu nduma-inĩ, naguo ũtukũ waku ũgaatuĩka o ta mũthenya barigici.
11 And the LORD will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drouth, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Jehova nĩarĩgũtoongoragia hĩndĩ ciothe, na nĩarĩkũhingagĩria mabataro maku ũrĩ bũrũri-inĩ mũũmũ, o na mahĩndĩ maku amekagĩre hinya. Ũkahaana ta mũgũnda unithĩirio maaĩ, ũtuĩke ta gĩthima kĩrĩa gĩtahũaga.
12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Andũ aku nĩo magaacookereria kũrĩa kwaanangĩtwo o tene, na maakĩrĩre mĩthingi ĩrĩa ya tene mũno; nawe ũgeetagwo Mũcookereria wa Thingo iria Momoku, na wĩtagwo Mũcookereria wa Njĩra cia Itũũro.
13 If thou shalt turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thy own ways, nor finding thy own pleasure, nor speaking [thy own] words:
“Ũngĩgirĩrĩria magũrũ maku gũthũkia mũthenya wa Thabatũ, na wage gwĩka maũndũ maku we mwene mũthenya ũcio wakwa ũrĩa mwamũre, nayo Thabatũ ĩyo ũmĩtue mũthenya wa gĩkeno, na mũthenya ũcio mwamũre wa Jehova ũũtue wa gũtĩĩo-rĩ, na ũngĩũtĩĩa na kwaga kũrũmĩrĩra njĩra ciaku, na kwaga gwĩka maũndũ maku we mwene, o na kana kwaria ndeto cia tũhũ-rĩ,
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũgakena nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na nĩngatũma ũtũũgĩrio mũno gũkũ thĩ, na ngũheage igai rĩa thoguo Jakubu, ũrĩrĩĩage.” Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kanua ka Jehova kaarĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
