< 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.
The prophecy concerning Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, And cometh to Egypt; The gods of Egypt tremble at his presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth within her.
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.
“I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians; Brother shall fight against brother, And 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.
The spirit of Egypt shall fail within her, And her devices I will bring to naught. Then shall they consult the idols, and the sorcerers, And the necromancers, and the wizards.
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.
But I will give up the Egyptians to the hands of a cruel lord, And a fierce king shall rule over them,” Saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
5 Maaĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩmakaahũa, na mũkaro waruo ũngʼare na ũũme.
Then shall the waters fail from the river, Yea, the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 Mĩtaro ya maaĩ nĩĩkanunga; tũrũũĩ twa Misiri nĩtũkaahũa tũũme biũ. Namo marura na mathanjĩ nĩmakahooha,
The streams shall become putrid; The canals of Egypt shall be emptied and dried up; The reed and the rush shall 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 meadows by the river, by the borders of the river, And all that groweth by the river, Shall wither, be blasted, 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 shall the fishermen mourn; All they that cast the hook into the river shall lament, And they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.
9 Andũ arĩa marutaga wĩra na ndigi cia ũguta ũrĩa mwega nĩmagakua ngoro, na arĩa matumaga mataama marĩa mahoro nĩmakaaga mwĩhoko.
They, also, that work in flax, And they that weave white linen, shall be confounded.
10 Atumi a nguo nĩmagakorwo na kĩeha, na arĩa othe maheagwo mĩcaara nĩmakaigua ũũru ngoro.
Her pillars are broken down, And all who labor for hire are grieved in 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?”
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; The wise counsellors of Pharaoh have been stupid in their counsels. How, then, can ye say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, The son of ancient 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 they now, thy wise men? Let them tell thee now, so that men may know it, What Jehovah of hosts hath determined concerning 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 are become fools; The princes of Noph are deceived, Even the chiefs of her tribes have caused Egypt to err.
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.
Jehovah hath mingled within her a spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all her works, As a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.
15 Gũtirĩ wĩra ũngĩrutwo bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri: gũtirĩ wĩra ũngĩrutwo nĩ mũtwe kana mũtingʼoe, kana rũhonge rwa mũnathi, kana ithanjĩ.
There shall be nothing which can be done by Egypt, By the head, or the tail, the palm-branch, or the rush.
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 shall the Egyptians be like women; They shall tremble and fear On account of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, Which he shall shake 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 shall be a terror to Egypt; Every one to whom it is mentioned shall tremble On account of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, Which he hath determined against them.
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 there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt Speaking the language of Canaan, And swearing by Jehovah of hosts; One of them shall 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 shall be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, And in the border of it a pillar to Jehovah,
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.
Which shall be a sign and a witness For Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt, That they cried to Jehovah on account of their oppressors, And he sent them a saviour, and a defender, who delivered 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.
Thus shall Jehovah be made known to Egypt, And the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, And shall offer him sacrifices and oblations; They shall make vows to Jehovah, and perform them.
22 Jehova nĩakahũũra bũrũri wa Misiri na mũthiro, amahũũre acooke amahonie. Nao nĩmagacookerera Jehova, nake nĩagathikĩrĩria gũthaithana kwao na amahonie.
Thus Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal her; They shall return to Jehovah; Therefore will he hear 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 shall there he a highway from Egypt to Assyria, And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, And the Egyptian into Assyria, And the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
24 Mũthenya ũcio bũrũri wa Isiraeli ũgaatuĩka wa gatatũ, hamwe na Misiri na Ashuri, nao nĩmagatũma thĩ yothe ĩrathimwo.
In that day shall Israel be the third In connection with Egypt and Assyria, A blessing in the midst of 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.”
Jehovah of hosts shall bless them, and say, Blessed be Egypt, my people, And Assyria, the work of my hands, And Israel, my inheritance!
