< Isaiah 2 >

1 This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu onire ũkoniĩ Juda na Jerusalemu:
2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
Matukũ-inĩ ma kũrigĩrĩria kĩrĩma kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova nĩgĩkahaandwo kĩrĩ kĩo kĩnene gatagatĩ ka irĩma iria ingĩ; nĩgĩkambarario igũrũ rĩa tũrĩma tũrĩa tũngĩ, nao andũ a ndũrĩrĩ nĩkuo magaathiiaga.
3 Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem.
Ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ nĩigathiĩ kuo ikiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, twambate tũthiĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Jehova, tũthiĩ nyũmba ya Ngai wa Jakubu. Nĩagatũruta ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yake, nĩgeetha tũgeragĩre njĩra ciake.” Nĩgũkorwo Zayuni nĩgũkoima ũtaarani, nakuo Jerusalemu kuume ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova.
4 He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Nake nĩagatuithanagia ndũrĩrĩ ciira, na aiguithanie irĩndĩ nyingĩ. Hiũ ciao cia njora magaacithondeka ituĩke mĩraũ ya kũrĩma, namo matimũ mao mamathondeke matuĩke hiũ cia gũceeha mĩtĩ. Gũtirĩ rũrĩrĩ rũgaacooka kũrũa na rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũngĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, o na kana merute ũhoro wa mbaara hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.
5 House of Jacob, come, and let’s walk in the light of the LORD.
Atĩrĩrĩ wee nyũmba ya Jakubu, ũkaai tũthiiage tũmũrĩkĩirwo nĩ ũtheri wa Jehova.
6 For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.
Wee nĩũtiganĩirie andũ aku, o acio a nyũmba ya Jakubu. Nao marũmĩtie mũno mĩtugo na irĩra cia andũ a mwena wa irathĩro; maragũraga ta Afilisti, na makagĩa thiritũ na andũ matooĩ Ngai.
7 Their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
Bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩte betha na thahabu, igĩĩna ciao itingĩthira. Bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩte mbarathi; na ngaari ciao cia ita itingĩtarĩka.
8 Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
Bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩte mĩhianano ya kũhooywo; mainamagĩrĩra wĩra wa moko mao, o indo iria mathondekete na ciara ciao.
9 Man is brought low, and mankind is humbled; therefore don’t forgive them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ nĩakaharũrũkio, nacio iruka cia andũ iconorithio; ndũkanamarekere.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
Toonyai rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga, mwĩhithe tĩĩri-inĩ mũũrĩre kĩmakania kĩa Jehova na riiri wa ũnene wake!
11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low, the arrogance of men will be bowed down, and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
Maitho ma mũndũ mwĩtĩĩi nĩmagaconorithio, naguo mwĩtĩĩo wa andũ nĩũkaharũrũkio; no Jehova we wiki nĩwe ũgaatũũgĩrio mũthenya ũcio.
12 For there will be a day of the LORD of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, and for all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low—
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe arĩ na mũthenya aigĩte wa gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa othe etĩĩi na arĩa meĩkagĩrĩra, na arĩa othe metũũgagĩria (nao othe nĩmakanyiihio),
13 for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
na okĩrĩre mĩtarakwa yothe ya Lebanoni, ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ na ĩkaneneha mũno, o na mĩgandi yothe ya Bashani,
14 for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
na okĩrĩre irĩma iria ndaaya na igũrũ, na tũrĩma tuothe tũrĩa tũraihu.
15 for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
na okĩrĩre mũthiringo o wothe mũraihu na igũrũ na rũthingo o ruothe rwakĩtwo rwa hinya,
16 for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
na okĩrĩre marikabu ciothe cia Tarishishi, na marikabu ciothe iria njega mũno.
17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Mwĩtũũgĩrio wa mũndũ nĩũkaharũrũkio, na mwĩtĩĩo wa andũ ũconorithio; no Jehova we wiki nĩwe ũgaatũũgĩrio mũthenya ũcio,
18 The idols shall utterly pass away.
nayo mĩhianano ya kũhooywo nĩĩgathira biũ.
19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
Andũ makoorĩra ngurunga-inĩ cia ndwaro cia mahiga, o na marima-inĩ ma thĩ, moorĩre kĩmakania kĩa Jehova na riiri wa ũnene wake, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa akaarũgama athingithie thĩ.
20 In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
Mũthenya ũcio andũ makooya mĩhianano yao ya betha, na mĩhianano yao ya thahabu, ĩrĩa methondekeire mamĩhooyage, mamĩikĩrie huko na huhu.
21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
Nao makoorĩra ngurunga-inĩ cia ndwaro cia mahiga, na mahiga-inĩ marĩa macunjurĩte morĩre kĩmakania kĩa Jehova na riiri wa ũnene wake, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa akaarũgama, athingithie thĩ.
22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he?
Tiga kwĩhoka mũndũ, ũrĩa mĩhũmũ yake ĩrĩ o maniũrũ-inĩ make. Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, akĩrĩ wa bata ũrĩkũ?
