Isaiah 45
1 Thus said Jehovah, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Yea, loins of kings I loose, To open before him two-leaved doors, Yea, gates are not shut:
Atĩrĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Jehova areera Kurusu, ũrĩa wake mũitĩrĩrie maguta, o ũcio niĩ nyitĩte guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo nĩguo ndoorie ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ mbere yake, na njaũre athamaki indo ciao cia mbaara, nĩgeetha ndĩmũhingũrĩre mĩrango mbere yake, na nĩguo ndakanakore ihingo ihingĩtwo:
2 'I go before thee, and crooked places make straight, Two-leaved doors of brass I shiver, And bars of iron I cut asunder,
Nĩngagũtongoria na nĩngaragania irĩma; nĩngoinanga ihingo cia gĩcango, na ndinangie mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
3 And have given to thee treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that thou knowest that I, Jehovah, Who am calling on thy name — [am] the God of Israel.
Nĩngakũhe igĩĩna iria ihithĩtwo nduma-inĩ, ngũhe ũtonga ũrĩa mũhithe, nĩguo ũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa ũgwĩtĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I call also thee by thy name, I surname thee, And thou hast not known Me.
Nĩngwĩtĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yakwa Jakubu, o na nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli ũcio niĩ ndĩthuurĩire, na ngakũhe rĩĩtwa rĩa gĩtĩĩo, o na gũtuĩka wee ndũnjũũĩ.
5 I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else, Except Me there is no God, I gird thee, and thou hast not known Me.
Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ; tiga niĩ gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ. Nĩndĩrĩkuongagĩrĩra hinya, o na gũtuĩka wee ndũnjũũĩ,
6 So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else,
nĩgeetha kuuma irathĩro rĩa riũa nginya ithũĩro rĩarĩo, andũ mamenye atĩ gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ.
7 Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I [am] Jehovah, doing all these things.'
Nĩ niĩ ndũmaga kũgĩe ũtheri, o na ngatũma kũgĩe nduma, nĩ niĩ ndehaga ũgaacĩru na ngatũma kũgĩe mwanangĩko; Nĩ niĩ, Jehova, ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio mothe.
8 Drop, ye heavens, from above, And clouds do cause righteousness to flow, Earth openeth, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, Jehovah, have prepared it.
“Atĩrĩrĩ inyuĩ matu ma igũrũ, urĩriai thĩ ũthingu; o na inyuĩ matu ma mbura itĩrĩriai thĩ ũthingu. Thĩ nayo nĩyathamie kanua, naguo ũhonokio nĩũkunũke, ũmere, ũkũranĩre na ũthingu. Niĩ Jehova-rĩ, nĩ niĩ ndũmĩte igĩe kuo.
9 Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former, (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Doth clay say to its Framer, 'What dost thou?' And thy work, 'He hath no hands?'
“Ũrĩa ũgianaga na Mũmũũmbi, kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Ũcio ahaana o ta rũgĩo thĩinĩ wa ngĩĩo iria irĩ thĩ. Rĩũmba rĩahota kũũria ũrĩa ũmbaga indo narĩo atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu ũromba?’ O na kana wĩra waku no uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ndarĩ na moko’?
10 Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, 'What dost thou beget?' Or to a wife, 'What dost thou bring forth?
Hĩ, kaĩ ũrĩa ũragia ithe atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu wagĩire?’ kana akooria nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu waciara?’ Kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ!
11 Thus said Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Yea, concerning the work of My hands, ye command Me.'
“Jehova, Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, na Mũũmbi wake, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ maũndũ marĩa magooka-rĩ, anga no mũkĩnjũũrie ũhoro wa ciana ciakwa, kana mũnjathĩre wĩra wa moko makwa?
12 I made earth, and man on it prepared, I — My hands stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded.
Nĩ niĩ ndombire thĩ, na ngĩũmba andũ arĩa marĩ kuo. Moko makwa nĩmo maatambũrũkirie kũu igũrũ, na ngĩatha mbũtũ cia igũrũ igĩe ho.
13 I have stirred him up in righteousness, And all his ways I make straight, He doth build My city, and My captivity doth send out, Not for price, nor for bribe, said Jehovah of Hosts.
Nĩngarahũra Kurusu nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wakwa: Nĩngatũma mĩthiĩre yake ĩrũngĩrĩre. We nĩagaaka itũũra rĩakwa rĩrĩa inene rĩngĩ, na ohorithie andũ akwa arĩa matahĩtwo, no rĩrĩ, matikarutĩrwo kĩndũ gĩa kũmakũũra kana marutĩrwo kĩheo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
14 Thus said Jehovah, 'The labour of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim — men of measure, Unto thee pass over, and thine they are, After thee they go, in fetters they pass over, And unto thee they bow themselves, Unto thee they pray: Only in thee [is] God, And there is none else, no [other] God.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Maciaro ma bũrũri wa Misiri, na indo cia wonjorithia cia Kushi, o na andũ acio araihu a Sabea, nĩmagooka kũrĩ we matuĩke aku; nĩmagakuuma thuutha, na moke kũrĩ we mohetwo na mĩnyororo. Nĩmagakũinamĩrĩra, magũthaithe, makwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ Mũrungu arĩ hamwe nawe, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga we; ti-itherũ gũtirĩ ngai ĩngĩ.’”
15 Surely Thou [art] a God hiding Thyself, God of Israel — Saviour!
Ti-itherũ wee ũrĩ Mũrungu ũrĩa ũikaraga ehithĩte, Wee Ngai na Mũhonokia wa Isiraeli.
16 They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed — all of them, Together gone in confusion have those carving images.
Arĩa othe mathondekaga mĩhianano ya kũhooywo nĩmagaconorithio na manyararithio; makoimagara mathiĩ manyararithio othe hamwe.
17 Israel hath been saved in Jehovah, A salvation age-during! Ye are not ashamed nor confounded Unto the ages of eternity!
No rĩrĩ, Isiraeli nĩakahonokio nĩ Jehova na ũhonokio wake ũrĩa ũtũũraga tene na tene; wee ndũgaconorithio kana ũnyararithio nginya tene na tene.
18 For thus said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it — not empty He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: 'I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ũcio wombire igũrũ, o we Ngai, o ũcio wombire thĩ na akĩmĩthondeka, agĩcooka akĩmĩrũmia wega; na ndaamĩũmbire ĩtũũre ĩrĩ ũtheri, no aamĩũmbire ĩtũũragwo nĩ andũ; we ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ.
19 Not in secret have I spoken, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, In vain seek ye Me, I [am] Jehovah, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
Ndirĩ ndaaria na hitho, ndĩ handũ bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩ nduma; ndirĩ ndeera njiaro cia Jakubu atĩrĩ, ‘Nongoriai o ũguo tũhũ.’ Niĩ Jehova, njaragia ũhoro wa ma; nyumbũraga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire.
20 Be gathered, and come in, Come nigh together, ye escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their graven image, And praying unto a god [that] saveth not.
“Cookanĩrĩrai hamwe, mũũke; ũnganai, inyuĩ arĩa mũũrĩte kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ. Kwaga ũmenyi-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa makuuaga mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ya mĩtĩ, na makahooya ngai itangĩhota kũmahonokia.
21 Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I — Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me.
Umbũrai ũhoro wa ũrĩa gũgaikara, na mũũheane, na andũ marekwo maciire marĩ hamwe. Nũũ waheanire ũhoro ũyũ kuuma o tene? Ningĩ nũũ waumbũrĩte matukũ-inĩ macio ma tene mũno? Githĩ ti niĩ, niĩ Jehova? Gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ tiga niĩ, Mũrungu mũthingu na Mũhonokia; ti-itherũ gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.
22 Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ ituri ciothe cia thĩ, njookererai mũhonokio, nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩ niĩ Mũrungu, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.
23 By Myself I have sworn, Gone out from my mouth in righteousness hath a word, And it turneth not back, That to Me, bow doth every knee, every tongue swear.
Nĩndĩhĩtĩte ngĩĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa niĩ mwene, naguo ũhoro ũkoima kanua gakwa na kĩhooto, naguo ndũkagarũrũka o na atĩa: Maru mothe nĩmagaturio mbere yakwa; nacio nĩmĩ ciothe nĩcikeehĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
24 Only in Jehovah, said hath one, Have I righteousness and strength, Unto Him he cometh in, And ashamed are all those displeased with Him.
Nĩmakaaria ũhoro wakwa, moige atĩrĩ, ‘Ũthingu na hinya cionekaga harĩ Jehova o we wiki.’” Andũ arĩa othe maarakarire makĩmũũkĩrĩra, nĩmagooka harĩ we maconorithio.
25 In Jehovah are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.'
No njiaro ciothe cia Isiraeli nĩikoonekaga irĩ na ũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na nĩigakena mũno.
