Isaia 10
1 Kaĩ arĩa mathondekaga mawatho matarĩ ma kĩhooto marĩ na haaro-ĩ! o arĩa marutaga mawatho ma kũhinyanĩrĩria,
Woe to them that write wickedness; for when they write they do write wickedness,
2 nĩguo mahotomie ciira wa andũ arĩa athĩĩni, na magirĩrĩrie kĩhooto kĩa andũ akwa arĩa mahinyĩrĩirio, na magatua atumia a ndigwa iguĩma rĩao, o na magatunya ciana cia ngoriai indo ciacio.
perverting the cause of the poor, violently wresting the judgment of the needy ones of my people, that the widow may be a prey to them, and the orphan a spoil.
3 Mũgeeka atĩa mũthenya wa ciira, rĩrĩa mũgaakorererwo nĩ mwanangĩko uumĩte kũraya? Mũkoorĩra kũrĩ ũ amũteithie? Ũtonga wanyu mũkaaũtiga kũ?
And what will they do in the day of visitation? for affliction shall come to you from afar: and to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory,
4 Gũtirĩ ũndũ ũgaakorwo ũtigarĩte tiga kwĩnyiihia gatagatĩ ka mĩgwate, kana mũgũe gatagatĩ ka arĩa makuĩte. No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, marakara make matirĩ maraahũahũa, guoko gwake no gũtambũrũkĩtio o na rĩu.
that you may not fall into captivity? For all this [his] wrath is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
5 “Kaĩ andũ a Ashuri marĩ na haaro-ĩ! o acio rũthanju rwa marakara makwa, na thimbũ ya mangʼũrĩ makwa!
Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of my wrath, and anger are in their hands.
6 Ndĩmatũmaga mookĩrĩre rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũtooĩ Ngai, ngamatũma mookĩrĩre andũ arĩa mandakaragia, nĩguo matunyane indo, na mahurie ndaho, na mamarangĩrĩrie ta ndoro ya njĩra-inĩ.
I will send my wrath against a sinful nation, and I will charge my people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make them dust.
7 No ũguo tiguo maciirĩire gwĩka, ũndũ ũyũ tiguo ũrĩ meciiria-inĩ mao, muoroto wao nĩ kwananga, na kũniina ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ biũ.
But he meant not thus, neither did he devise thus in his soul: but his mind shall change, and [that] to destroy nations not a few.
8 Mũthamaki wa Ashuri aaragia, akoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ anene akwa a ita othe ti athamaki?
And if they should say to him, You alone are ruler;
9 Githĩ itũũra rĩa Kalino rĩtiekirwo o ta Karikemishi? O narĩo Hamathu-rĩ, githĩ rĩtiekirwo o ta Aripadi? Narĩo Samaria githĩ rĩtiekirwo o ta Dameski?
then shall he say, Have I not taken the country above Babylon and Chalanes, where the tower was built? and have I [not] taken Arabia, and Damascus, and Samaria?
10 O ta ũrĩa guoko gwakwa gwatunyanire mothamaki marĩa meigagĩra mĩhianano ya kũhooywo, o macio maarĩ mĩhianano mĩingĩ mĩicũhie gũkĩra ya Jerusalemu na ya Samaria-rĩ,
As I have taken them, I will also take all the kingdoms: howl, you idols in Jerusalem, and in Samaria.
11 githĩ ndigeeka Jerusalemu na mĩhianano yarĩo ya kũhooywo o ta ũrĩa ndeekire Samaria na mĩhianano yarĩo?’”
For as I did to Samaria and her idols, so will I do also to Jerusalem and her idols.
12 Mwathani aarĩkia wĩra wake wothe wa gũũkĩrĩra Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni na Jerusalemu-rĩ, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũherithia mũthamaki wa Ashuri nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩtĩĩo wa ngoro yake na mwĩtũũgĩrio wake, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa oonaga ta ekĩrĩirwo.
And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have finished doing all things on Mount Sion and Jerusalem, [that] I will visit upon the proud heart, [even] upon the ruler of the Assyrians, and upon the boastful haughtiness of his eyes.
13 Nĩgũkorwo oigaga atĩrĩ: “‘Njĩkĩte ũguo na hinya wa guoko gwakwa, o na ũũgĩ wakwa, tondũ ndĩ na ũmenyo. Nĩndeheririe mĩhaka ya ndũrĩrĩ, na ngĩtaha igĩĩna ciao, na ta mũndũ ũrĩ na hinya-rĩ, nĩndatooririe athamaki ao.
For he said, I will act in strength, and in the wisdom of [my] understanding I will remove the boundaries of nations, and will spoil their strength.
14 O ta ũrĩa mũndũ akinyagĩra gĩtara, ũguo noguo guoko gwakwa gwakinyĩrire ũtonga ũcio wa ndũrĩrĩ; o ta ũrĩa andũ macookanagĩrĩria matumbĩ marĩa maatiganĩirio, ũguo noguo na niĩ ndacookanĩrĩirie mabũrũri mothe; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wabatabatirie ithagu rĩaguo, kana ũgĩathamia kanua kaguo ũkĩgamba.’”
And I will shake the inhabited cities: and I will take with my hand all the world as a nest: and I will even take them as eggs that have been left; and there is none that shall escape me, or contradict me.
15 Ithanwa-rĩ, rĩahota kwĩyambararia igũrũ rĩa ũrĩa ũtemaga mũtĩ narĩo, kana mũthumeno wĩtĩĩre ũrĩa ũũguucagia? Kaĩ rũthanju rũngĩkĩhiũria ũrĩa ũruoete na igũrũ, kana thimbũ ĩhiũrie ũrĩa ũtarĩ mbaũ!
Shall the axe glorify itself without him that hews with it? or shall the saw lift up itself without him that uses it, as if one should lift a rod or staff? but it shall not be so;
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩakarehera njamba ciake cia ita iria irĩ hinya mũrimũ wa kũhĩnja; na handũ ha kũhumbĩrwo nĩ riiri wake-rĩ, nĩ mwaki magaakĩrio ũrĩrĩmbũke ta rũrĩrĩmbĩ.
but the Lord of hosts shall send dishonor upon your honor, and burning fire shall be kindled upon your glory.
17 Ũtheri wa Isiraeli agaatuĩka mwaki, nake Ũrĩa Mũtheru wao atuĩke rũrĩrĩmbĩ. Ũgaakana na ũcine mĩigua yake na congʼe wake o mũthenya ũmwe.
And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and he shall sanctify him with burning fire, and it shall devour the wood as grass.
18 Nake nĩakaniina biũ riiri wa mĩtitũ yake, o hamwe na wa mĩgũnda yake ĩrĩa mĩnoru, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ mũrũaru ahĩnjaga agathirĩrĩkĩra.
In that day the mountains shall be consumed, and the hills, and the forests, and [fire] shall devour [both] soul and body: and he that flees shall be as one fleeing from burning flame.
19 Nayo mĩtĩ ya mĩtitũ yake ĩgaatigara o mĩnini, atĩ o na mwana no andĩke mũigana wayo.
And they that are left of them shall be a [small] number, and a child shall write them.
20 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio andũ arĩa magaatigara a Isiraeli, o na arĩa makaahonoka a nyũmba ya Jakubu, matigacooka kwĩgiritania na ũcio wamahũũrĩte, no makegiritania na Jehova o ma, o we Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the remnant of Israel shall no more join themselves with, and the saved of Jacob shall no more trust in, them that injured them; but they shall trust in the Holy God of Israel, in truth.
21 Matigari nĩmagacooka, o macio matigari ma Jakubu-rĩ, nĩmagacookerera Mũrungu Mwene-Hinya.
And the remnant of Jacob shall [trust] on the mighty God.
22 O na gũtuĩka andũ aku, wee Isiraeli maingĩhĩte ta mũthanga wa iria-inĩ-rĩ, no matigari magaacooka kwao. Mwanangĩko naguo nĩwathanĩtwo, mwanangĩko wa kuonania atĩ itua rĩake nĩ rĩa kĩhooto kũna.
And though the people of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of them shall be saved.
23 Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩwe ũkaananga bũrũri ũcio wothe ta ũrĩa gwathanĩtwo.
He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because the Lord will make a short work in all the world.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Inyuĩ andũ akwa arĩa mũtũũraga Zayuni, mũtigetigĩre andũ a Ashuri, arĩa mamũhũũraga na rũthanju, na makamuoera njũgũma mamũũkĩrĩre ta ũrĩa mwekagwo Misiri.
Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, Be not afraid, my people who dwell in Sion, of the Assyrians, because he shall strike you with a rod: for I am bringing a stroke upon you, that [you] may see the way of Egypt.
25 Nĩgũkorwo no ihinda inini rĩtigaire marakara makwa igũrũ rĩanyu mathire, namo mangʼũrĩ makwa mamacookerere mamaniine.”
For yet a little while, and the indignation shall cease: but my wrath shall be against their council.
26 Ningĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩakamahũũra na kĩboko, o ta ũrĩa Amidiani mekirwo rĩrĩa mooragĩirwo rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga rĩa Orebu; na nĩakambararia mũthĩgi wake igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, o ta ũrĩa eekire kũu bũrũri wa Misiri.
And God will stir up [enemies] against them, according to the stroke of Madiam in the place of affliction: and his wrath shall be by the way of the sea, [even] to the way that leads to Egypt.
27 Mũthenya ũcio mũrigo wao nĩũkeherio ciande-inĩ ciaku, narĩo icooki rĩao rĩeherio ngingo-inĩ cianyu; icooki rĩu nĩrĩkoinangwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wee ũitĩrĩirio maguta.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] his yoke shall be taken away from your shoulder, and his fear from you, and the yoke shall be destroyed from off your shoulders.
28 Nĩmaratoonya Aiathu; maratuĩkanĩria Migironi; o na maraiga igĩĩna ciao Mikimashi.
For he shall arrive at the city of Angai, and shall pass on to Maggedo, and shall lay up his stores in Machmas.
29 Nao makĩhĩtũkĩra mũkuru-inĩ, makoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũtukũ ũyũ tũkũraarĩrĩra Geba.” Rama nĩkũinaina kũrainaina; nakuo Gibea itũũra rĩa Saũlũ nĩ kũũra rĩroora.
And he shall pass by the valley, and shall arrive at Angai: fear shall seize upon Rama, the city of Saul.
30 Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mwarĩ wa Galimu, uga mbu! Wee Laisha, thikĩrĩria! Nawe Anathothu, wũi-ĩ!
The daughter of Gallim shall flee; Laisa shall hear; one shall hear in Anathoth.
31 Andũ a Madimena nĩ kũũra maroora; nao andũ a Gebimu nĩ kwĩhitha marehitha.
Madebena also is amazed, and the inhabitants of Gibbir.
32 Mũthenya wa ũmũthĩ marĩrũgama kũu Nobu; maramainainĩria ngundi marĩ kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mwarĩ wa Zayuni, o kũu karĩma-inĩ ka Jerusalemu.
Exhort you [them] today to remain in the way: exhort you [beckoning] with the hand the mountain, the daughter of Sion, even you hills that are in Jerusalem.
33 Atĩrĩrĩ, Mwathani, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩagaceeha honge na hinya mũnene. Mĩtĩ ĩrĩa mĩnene mũno nĩĩgatemwo, ĩgũithio thĩ, na ĩrĩa mĩraihu ĩnyiihio.
Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will mightily confound the glorious ones; and the haughty in pride shall be crushed, and the lofty shall be brought low:
34 Nĩagatema ihinga cia mũtitũ na ithanwa; Lebanoni nĩĩkagũithio nĩ Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Hinya.
and the lofty ones shall fall by the sword, and the Libanus shall fall with his lofty ones.
