< Isaia 19 >
1 Ĩno nĩ ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ bũrũri wa Misiri: Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova ahaicĩte itu rĩhanyũkĩte mũno athiĩte bũrũri wa Misiri. Mĩhianano ya bũrũri wa Misiri irainaina mbere yake, nacio ngoro cia andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri ikaringĩka thĩinĩ wao.
This is the burden against Egypt: Behold, the LORD rides on a swift cloud; He is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will melt within them.
2 “Nĩngarahũra Mũmisiri ookĩrĩre Mũmisiri ũrĩa ũngĩ: mũndũ nĩakarũa na mũrũ wa ithe, nake mũndũ wa itũũra ookĩrĩre mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake, narĩo itũũra inene rĩũkĩrĩre itũũra rĩrĩa rĩngĩ, naguo ũthamaki ũũkĩrĩre ũthamaki ũrĩa ũngĩ.
“So I will incite Egyptian against Egyptian; brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri nĩmagakua ngoro, nayo mĩbango yao ndĩmĩtue ya tũhũ; makaahooya kĩrĩra kũrĩ ngai cia mĩhianano na kũrĩ maroho ma andũ arĩa makuĩte, o na kũrĩ ago na aragũri.
Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be emptied out from among them, and I will frustrate their plans, so that they will resort to idols and spirits of the dead, to mediums and spiritists.
4 Nĩnganeana andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri wathani-inĩ wa mwathi ũtarĩ tha, na mũthamaki mũũru amathamakĩre,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
I will deliver the Egyptians into the hands of harsh masters, and a fierce king will rule over them,”
5 Maaĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩmakaahũa, na mũkaro waruo ũngʼare na ũũme.
The waters of the Nile will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and empty.
6 Mĩtaro ya maaĩ nĩĩkanunga; tũrũũĩ twa Misiri nĩtũkaahũa tũũme biũ. Namo marura na mathanjĩ nĩmakahooha,
The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither.
7 o nayo mĩmera ĩrĩa ĩrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Nili, gĩtwe-inĩ kĩa rũũĩ rũu, nĩĩkahooha. Indo iria ciothe ĩhaandĩtwo mĩgũnda ĩrĩa ĩrĩ gũkuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩikooma biũ, na ciũmbũrwo, na itigacooka kuoneka kuo rĩngĩ.
The bulrushes by the Nile, by the mouth of the river, and all the fields sown along the Nile, will wither, blow away, and be no more.
8 Ategi a thamaki nĩmagacaaya na marĩre, arĩa othe maikagia ndwano ciao Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Nili; nao arĩa othe maikagia mĩtego yao maaĩ-inĩ macio nĩmakoorwo nĩ hinya.
Then the fishermen will mourn, all who cast a hook into the Nile will lament, and those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.
9 Andũ arĩa marutaga wĩra na ndigi cia ũguta ũrĩa mwega nĩmagakua ngoro, na arĩa matumaga mataama marĩa mahoro nĩmakaaga mwĩhoko.
The workers in flax will be dismayed, and the weavers of fine linen will turn pale.
10 Atumi a nguo nĩmagakorwo na kĩeha, na arĩa othe maheagwo mĩcaara nĩmakaigua ũũru ngoro.
The workers in cloth will be dejected, and all the hired workers will be sick at heart.
11 Anene a Zoani nĩmakĩĩgĩte o gũkĩĩga; nao andũ arĩa oogĩ a Firaũni maheanaga kĩrĩra kĩa ũrimũ. Mwakĩhota atĩa kwĩra Firaũni, “Niĩ ndĩ ũmwe wa andũ arĩa oogĩ, ndĩ mũrutwo wa athamaki arĩa a tene?”
The princes of Zoan are mere fools; Pharaoh’s wise counselors give senseless advice. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am one of the wise, a son of eastern kings”?
12 Andũ aku arĩa oogĩ makĩrĩ ha rĩu? Ta nĩmagĩkuonie na makũmenyithie ũrĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aciirĩire gwĩka bũrũri wa Misiri.
Where are your wise men now? Let them tell you and reveal what the LORD of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
13 Anene a Zoani makĩĩgĩte o gũkĩĩga, nao atongoria a Nofu makaheeneka; namo mahiga ma koine ma andũ ake nĩmahĩtithĩtie andũ a Misiri.
The princes of Zoan have become fools; the princes of Memphis are deceived. The cornerstones of her tribes have led Egypt astray.
14 Jehova nĩwe ũmaitĩrĩirie roho wa kĩrigiicano; matũmaga andũ a Misiri matũgũũge mawĩra-inĩ mothe marĩa marutaga, o ta ũrĩa mũrĩĩu atũgũũgaga matahĩko-inĩ make.
The LORD has poured into her a spirit of confusion. Egypt has been led astray in all she does, as a drunkard staggers through his own vomit.
15 Gũtirĩ wĩra ũngĩrutwo bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri: gũtirĩ wĩra ũngĩrutwo nĩ mũtwe kana mũtingʼoe, kana rũhonge rwa mũnathi, kana ithanjĩ.
There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm or reed.
16 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, andũ a Misiri makahaana o ta andũ-a-nja. Makainaina nĩ guoya mona guoko kwa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe kwambararĩtio kũmookĩrĩre.
In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble with fear beneath the uplifted hand of the LORD of Hosts, when He brandishes it against them.
17 Naguo bũrũri wa Juda ũkaguoyohia andũ a Misiri; na mũndũ o wothe ũkaagweterwo ũhoro wa Juda nĩagetigĩra, nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aciirĩire gwĩka amokĩrĩre.
The land of Judah will bring terror to Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble over what the LORD of Hosts has planned against it.
18 Mũthenya ũcio matũũra matano ma bũrũri wa Misiri makaaragia rũthiomi rwa Kaanani, makĩĩhĩtaga atĩ marĩtungatagĩra Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe. Na itũũra rĩmwe rĩamo rĩgeetagwo Itũũra Inene rĩa Mwanangĩko.
In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of Hosts. One of them will be called the City of the Sun.
19 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩgũkagĩa na kĩgongona kĩa Jehova o kũu gatagatĩ ka bũrũri wa Misiri, na kũhaandwo ihiga rĩa kĩririkano kĩa Jehova mĩhaka-inĩ yakuo.
In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near her border.
20 Ihiga rĩu rĩgaatuĩka kĩmenyithia na mũira wa maũndũ marĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekĩte thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũcio wa Misiri. Rĩrĩa magaakaĩra Jehova amateithie nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa mamahinyagĩrĩria-rĩ, nĩakamatũmĩra mũhonokia na mũmagitĩri, nake nĩakamahonokia.
It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, He will send them a savior and defender to rescue them.
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova nĩakemenyithania kũrĩ andũ a Misiri, na mũthenya ũcio nĩmagakũũrana Jehova. Makaamũhooyaga makĩmũrutagĩra magongona na maruta ma mũtu: na ningĩ makehĩtaga mĩĩhĩtwa marĩ mbere ya Jehova na mamĩhingagie.
The LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and on that day Egypt will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and fulfill them.
22 Jehova nĩakahũũra bũrũri wa Misiri na mũthiro, amahũũre acooke amahonie. Nao nĩmagacookerera Jehova, nake nĩagathikĩrĩria gũthaithana kwao na amahonie.
And the LORD will strike Egypt with a plague; He will strike them but heal them. They will turn to the LORD, and He will hear their prayers and heal them.
23 Mũthenya ũcio nĩgũkagĩa njĩra njariĩ yumĩte bũrũri wa Misiri ĩgakinya Ashuri. Andũ a Ashuri nĩmagathiiaga Misiri, na o andũ a Misiri mathiiage Ashuri. Andũ a Misiri na andũ a Ashuri nĩmakahooyaga hamwe.
In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.
24 Mũthenya ũcio bũrũri wa Isiraeli ũgaatuĩka wa gatatũ, hamwe na Misiri na Ashuri, nao nĩmagatũma thĩ yothe ĩrathimwo.
In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.
25 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩakamarathima akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ andũ akwa a Misiri, o na Aashuri arĩa ndeyũmbĩire, na Isiraeli igai rĩakwa.”
The LORD of Hosts will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people, Assyria My handiwork, and Israel My inheritance.”
