Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, makes it waste, turns it upside down, and scatters its inhabitants.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova akirie kwananga thĩ, na atũme ĩkire ihooru; nake nĩakamĩũnũha na ahurunje arĩa matũũraga kuo:
2 It will be as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest.
gũgaakorwo kũrĩ ũndũ o ũmwe kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na kũrĩ andũ, kũrĩ ndungata na kũrĩ mũmĩathi, kũrĩ ndungata ya mũirĩtu na kũrĩ mũtumia ũrĩa mũmĩathi, kũrĩ mwendia wa indo na kũrĩ mũgũri, kũrĩ mũkoombi na kũrĩ mũkoombanĩri, kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na thiirĩ na kũrĩ ũrĩa ũrandũraga thiirĩ.
3 The earth will be utterly emptied and utterly laid waste; for the LORD has spoken this word.
Thĩ nĩ kwanangwo ĩkaanangwo na ĩtigwo ĩrĩ ũtheri biũ. Jehova nĩwe warĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
4 The earth mourns and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The lofty people of the earth languish.
Thĩ ĩngʼarĩte ĩkahooha, mabũrũri mothe magathirĩrĩkĩra na makahooha, andũ arĩa marĩ ngumo a thĩ nĩmorĩtwo nĩ hinya.
5 The earth also is polluted under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, and broken the everlasting covenant.
Thĩ nĩngwatie thaahu nĩ andũ ayo; nao maremeire mawatho, na makaagarara irĩra, na magathũkia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene.
6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell therein are found guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩrumi nĩkĩrarĩa thĩ; na andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo makaherithio nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhia wao. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa matũũraga gũkũ thĩ nĩmacinĩtwo na mwaki, na nĩ anini mũno matigaire.
7 The new wine mourns. The vine languishes. All the merry-hearted sigh.
Ndibei ĩrĩa ya mũhihano nĩ thiru, nayo mĩthabibũ ĩkahooha; nao andũ arĩa marĩ ikeno-inĩ no gũcaaya maracaaya.
8 The mirth of tambourines ceases. The sound of those who rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases.
Gĩkeno kĩrĩa kiumanaga na kũhũũrwo gwa tũhembe nĩgĩtigĩte gũkenwo, narĩo inegene rĩa andũ arĩa arĩĩu nĩrĩthirĩte, ningĩ gĩkeno kĩrĩa gĩkenagwo gũkĩhũũrwo kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto nĩgĩkirĩtio.
9 They will not drink wine with a song. Strong drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
Andũ arĩa manyuuaga ndibei matigacooka kũnyua makĩinaga rwĩmbo, nayo njoohi nĩĩrũrĩire arĩa mamĩnyuuaga.
10 The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Narĩo itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩanangĩku rĩkirĩte ihooru, namo matoonyero ma nyũmba ciothe nĩmahinge.
11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine. All joy is darkened. The mirth of the land is gone.
Kũu njĩra-inĩ andũ nĩ kũrĩra mararĩra nĩ kwaga ndibei, gĩkeno gĩothe gĩtuĩkĩte kĩeha, nacio ikeno ciothe igathira thĩ.
12 The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
Itũũra rĩrĩa inene nĩrĩanange biũ, nakĩo kĩhingo kĩarĩo kiunangĩtwo gĩgatuĩka tũcunjĩ.
13 For it will be so within the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
O ta ũrĩa mũtĩ wa mũtamaiyũ ũikaraga wainainio, na o ta ũrĩa mũtĩ wa mũthabibũ ũikaraga thabibũ ciahaarwo hĩndĩ ya magetha, ũguo noguo ũhoro ũgaikara gũkũ thĩ na ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe.
14 These shall lift up their voice. They will shout for the majesty of the LORD. They cry aloud from the sea.
Maranĩrĩra, makoigĩrĩria nĩ gũkena; kuuma mwena wa ithũĩro marakũngũĩra ũnene wa Jehova.
15 Therefore glorify the LORD in the east, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea!
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio inyuĩ andũ a kuuma mwena wa irathĩro gocithiai Jehova; nenehiai rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, kũu icigĩrĩra-inĩ cia iria.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs. Glory to the righteous! But I said, “I pine away! I pine away! woe is me!” The treacherous have dealt treacherously. Yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
Nĩtũiguĩte nyĩmbo ikĩinwo kuuma ituri cia thĩ, ikainwo atĩrĩ: “Arogoocwo ũcio Mũthingu.” No niĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndĩ na haaro-ĩ! nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩrahiinyĩrĩrĩka, ĩĩ ti-itherũ nĩndĩrahiinyĩrĩrĩka! Andũ arĩa akunyanĩri nĩmarakunyanĩra arĩa angĩ, o acio akunyanĩri magakunyanĩra arĩa angĩ na ũkunyanĩri mũnene mũno!”
17 Fear, the pit, and the snare are on you who inhabit the earth.
Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ arĩa mũtũũraga thĩ, iguoyohia, na irima, o na mũtego nĩcio imwetereire.
18 It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkoora nĩ ũndũ wa iguoyohia, akaagũa irima, nake ũrĩa ũkoimĩra irima rĩu-rĩ, akaagwatio nĩ mũtego ũcio. Ndirica cia mũiyũro wa maaĩ cia igũrũ nĩhiingũre, nacio itina cia thĩ igathingitha.
19 The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently.
Thĩ nĩnjatũku, yatũkĩte ĩkarekania, ningĩ nĩĩrathingitha mũno mũno.
20 The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again.
Thĩ ĩratũgũga o ta mũrĩĩu, ĩgathũngũthio ũũ na ũũ o ta gĩthũnũ hĩndĩ ya rũhuho; mehia ma ũremi wayo nĩmamĩritũhĩire mũno, kũgũa nĩĩkũgũa na ndĩgaacooka gwĩtiiria rĩngĩ.
21 It will happen in that day that the LORD will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, Jehova nĩakaherithia maahinya ma kũu igũrũ, o kũu matu-inĩ, na aherithie athamaki a thĩ ĩno.
22 They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.
Nĩmagacookanĩrĩrio hamwe o ta ũrĩa andũ oohe macookanagĩrĩrio kĩoho-inĩ; makaahingĩrwo njeera na thuutha wa matukũ maingĩ nĩmakaherithio.
23 Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of Armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.
Mweri nĩũgaconorithio, na riũa rĩconoke; nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũgaathamaka arĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni na Jerusalemu, na mbere ya athuuri akuo, athamake arĩ na riiri.
