Isaiah 65
1 “I am enquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by 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 rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
Mũthenya wothe ndindaga ndambũrũkĩirie moko makwa kũrĩ andũ aremi, arĩa matathiiaga na mĩthiĩre mĩega, no marũmagĩrĩra mathugunda mao:
3 a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;
o andũ arĩa matũũraga maathirĩkagia o ũthiũ-inĩ wakwa, makarutagĩra magongona mĩgũnda-inĩ, na magacinagĩra ũbumba igongona-inĩ cia maturubarĩ;
4 who sit amongst the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
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 who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.
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 “Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom
“Atĩrĩrĩ, mbere yakwa gũtũire kwandĩkĩtwo maũndũ macio: ndigũtũũra ngirĩte ki, no rĩrĩ, nĩngarĩhanĩria kũna; ti-itherũ ngaarĩhanĩria o ciero-inĩ ciao,
7 your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says the LORD, “who have burnt incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
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 The LORD says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy 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 offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell 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 be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought 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 forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to 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 destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
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 Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
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 Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of 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 your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord GOD will kill you. He will call his 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 so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are 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, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngũmba igũrũ rĩerũ o na thĩ njerũ. Maũndũ marĩa ma tene matigacooka kũririkanwo, o na kana meciirio.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, and her people a joy.
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 in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
Nĩngakenera Jerusalemu na njanjamũke nĩ ũndũ wa andũ akwa; naguo mũgambo wa kĩgirĩko o na kana wa kĩrĩro ndũkaiguuo kũu rĩngĩ.
20 “No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
“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. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Nao nĩmagaka nyũmba na macitũũre; makaahaanda mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na marĩĩage maciaro mayo.
22 They will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy 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 labour in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of the LORD’s blessed 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 It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet 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 feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.
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.
