< Isaia 11 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, kuuma gĩthukĩ-inĩ kĩa Jesii nĩhakoima mũndũ ũhaana ta thuuna ĩrathundũka, na Rũhonge rũrĩa rũkoima mĩri-inĩ yake nĩrũgaciara maciaro.
A shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will produce fruit.
2 Nake Roho wa Jehova agaakorwo igũrũ rĩake: Roho wa ũũgĩ na wa ũmenyo, Roho wa ũtaarani na wa hinya, Roho wa ũmenyo na wa gwĩtigĩra Jehova:
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him, which is Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of advice and power, a Spirit of knowledge and awe of the Lord.
3 naguo ũndũ ũrĩa ũkaamũkenagia nĩ gwĩtigĩra Jehova. Ndagatuuaga ciira na ũndũ wa kũrora gĩthiithi kĩa mũndũ, kana atue ciira na ũndũ wa kũigua njuukũ;
His happiness will be in giving reverence to the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees, and he will not make decisions based on what he hears.
4 no rĩrĩ, nĩagaciirithia arĩa abatari arĩ na ũthingu, nao arĩa athĩĩni a gũkũ thĩ amatuĩre ciira na kĩhooto. Nĩakahũũra thĩ na rũthanju rwa kanua gake, na oorage andũ arĩa aaganu na mĩhũmũ ya mĩromo yake.
Instead, he will judge the poor justly, and make decisions fairness on behalf of the destitute people of the earth. He will strike the earth when he pronounces judgment, and he will execute the wicked with just a word from his lips.
5 Ũthingu nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũcibi wake, naguo wĩhokeku ũtuĩke mwĩhotoro wake wa njohero.
He will wear goodness like a sash and trustworthiness like a belt.
6 Njũũi ĩgaatũũranagia na kagondu, nayo ngarĩ ĩgaakomanagia na mbũri, nayo njaũ, na mũrũũthi, na nyamũ ya gĩcegũ igaaikaraga hamwe; nacio igaatongoragio nĩ kaana kanini.
Wolves will live with lambs; leopards will lie down with young goats, calves and young lions and young livestock will be together, and a small child will lead them along.
7 Ngʼombe na nduba ikaarĩĩaga hamwe, natuo tũcaũ twacio tũgaakomanagia hamwe, naguo mũrũũthi ũkaarĩĩaga nyeki ta ndegwa.
Cows and bears will graze side by side; young lions will eat straw like cattle.
8 Mwana wa rũkenge agathaakagĩra irima-inĩ rĩa gĩĩko, nake mwana mũnini nĩagaikagia guoko irima-inĩ rĩa nduĩra.
Babies will be able to play safely near snake holes, little children will be able to put their hands into a vipers' den.
9 Gũtikageranwo ngero kana kũniinanwo, kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa gĩtheru, nĩgũkorwo thĩ nĩĩkaiyũrwo nĩ ũmenyo wa Jehova, o ta ũrĩa maaĩ maiyũrĩte iria-inĩ.
Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
10 Na nĩgũgakinya atĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio mũndũ ũcio ũkoima Mũri-inĩ wa Jesii, nĩakarũgama atuĩke ta bendera kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ; ndũrĩrĩ nĩikongana harĩ we, nakĩo gĩikaro gĩake gĩa kũhurũka gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ na riiri.
At that time the root of Jesse will stand like a banner for the nations. Foreigners will come to him, and the place of where he lives will be glorious.
11 Mũthenya ũcio Mwathani nĩagatambũrũkia guoko ihinda rĩa keerĩ, akũũre matigari ma andũ ake marĩa magaakorwo matigaire, amarute Ashuri, na kuuma Misiri ya Kĩanda, na kuuma Misiri ya Rũgongo, na kuuma Kushi, na kuuma Elamu, na kuuma Babuloni, na kuuma Hamathu, na kuuma icigĩrĩra cia iria.
At that time the Lord will act a second time to bring back the remnant of His people from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and from the Mediterranean islands.
12 Nĩakahaandĩra ndũrĩrĩ bendera, na acookanĩrĩrie andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maatahĩtwo; ningĩ acookanĩrĩrie andũ a Juda arĩa maahurunjĩtwo kuuma ituri-inĩ iria inya cia thĩ.
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiled people of Israel; he will bring together the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth.
13 Ũiru wa Efiraimu nĩũgaathira, nacio thũ cia Juda nĩikaaniinwo; Efiraimu ndakaiguĩra Juda ũiru, kana Juda agĩe na ũthũ na Efiraimu.
Ephraim's jealousy will disappear, and Judah's enemies will be destroyed; Ephraim won't be jealous of Judah, and Judah won't treat Ephraim as an enemy.
14 Nao nĩmagaikũrũka iharũrũka-inĩ cia Afilisti cia mwena wa ithũĩro; na marĩ hamwe nĩmagataha andũ a mwena wa irathĩro. Nĩmakenyiitĩra Edomu na Moabi, na nĩo magaathaga andũ a Amoni.
Together they will fly downhill to attack the Philistines to the west; they will plunder the people of the east. They will defeat Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will become their subjects.
15 Na harĩa iria rĩa Misiri rĩcomokete ta rũrĩmĩ-rĩ, Jehova nĩakarĩhũithia biũ; ningĩ nĩakahuruta rũhuho rũhiũ na guoko gwake rũhũithie Rũũĩ rwa Farati. Nĩakarũgayania rũtuĩke tũrũũĩ mũgwanja, nĩgeetha andũ mahote kũringaga matekũruta iraatũ.
The Lord will divide the Gulf of Suez; he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River creating a scorching wind. He will split into seven streams that people can cross easily on foot.
16 Nĩgũgakorwo na njĩra nene ya kũgererwo nĩ matigari ma andũ ake arĩa magaakorwo matigaire Ashuri, o ta ĩrĩa yagereirwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli rĩrĩa maambatire makiuma bũrũri wa Misiri.
There will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that are left, just as there was for Israel when they left the land of Egypt.
