< 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 sprout from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear 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 Yahweh will rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of instruction and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
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 delight will be the fear of the Lord; he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor decide by what his ears hear.
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 with righteousness and decide fairly for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
5 Ũthingu nĩguo ũgaatuĩka mũcibi wake, naguo wĩhokeku ũtuĩke mwĩhotoro wake wa njohero.
Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his hips.
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.
The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, the calf, the young lion and the fattened calf, together. A little child will lead them.
7 Ngʼombe na nduba ikaarĩĩaga hamwe, natuo tũcaũ twacio tũgaakomanagia hamwe, naguo mũrũũthi ũkaarĩĩaga nyeki ta ndegwa.
The cow and the bear will graze together, and their young will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 Mwana wa rũkenge agathaakagĩra irima-inĩ rĩa gĩĩko, nake mwana mũnini nĩagaikagia guoko irima-inĩ rĩa nduĩra.
A baby will play over the hole of the snake, and the weaned child will put his hand on the serpent's 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.
They will not hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover 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.
On that day, the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek him out, and his resting place 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.
On that day, the Lord will again extend his hand to recover the remnant of his people who remain in Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea.
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 set up a banner for the nations and will gather the outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 Ũiru wa Efiraimu nĩũgaathira, nacio thũ cia Juda nĩikaaniinwo; Efiraimu ndakaiguĩra Juda ũiru, kana Juda agĩe na ũthũ na Efiraimu.
He will turn aside the envy of Ephraim, and hostilities of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will not envy Judah, and Judah will no longer be hostile to Ephraim.
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.
Instead they will swoop down on the Philistine hills on the west, and together they will plunder the people of the east. They will attack Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them.
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.
Yahweh will completely destroy the gulf of the Sea of Egypt. With his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River and will divide it into seven streams, so it can be crossed over in sandals.
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 for the remnant of his people that return from Assyria, as there was for Israel in their coming up from the land of Egypt.
