Isaia 2
1 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu onire ũkoniĩ Juda na Jerusalemu:
This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Matukũ-inĩ ma kũrigĩrĩria kĩrĩma kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova nĩgĩkahaandwo kĩrĩ kĩo kĩnene gatagatĩ ka irĩma iria ingĩ; nĩgĩkambarario igũrũ rĩa tũrĩma tũrĩa tũngĩ, nao andũ a ndũrĩrĩ nĩkuo magaathiiaga.
In the last days the mountain where the Lord's Temple stands will be recognized as the highest of all mountains, rising above other hills. Many from the other nations will travel to it.
3 Ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ nĩigathiĩ kuo ikiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũkai, twambate tũthiĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Jehova, tũthiĩ nyũmba ya Ngai wa Jakubu. Nĩagatũruta ũhoro wa mĩthiĩre yake, nĩgeetha tũgeragĩre njĩra ciake.” Nĩgũkorwo Zayuni nĩgũkoima ũtaarani, nakuo Jerusalemu kuume ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova.
People will come and say, “Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob. There God will teach us his ways and we will follow his directions. God's teachings will spread out from Zion, his word from Jerusalem.”
4 Nake nĩagatuithanagia ndũrĩrĩ ciira, na aiguithanie irĩndĩ nyingĩ. Hiũ ciao cia njora magaacithondeka ituĩke mĩraũ ya kũrĩma, namo matimũ mao mamathondeke matuĩke hiũ cia gũceeha mĩtĩ. Gũtirĩ rũrĩrĩ rũgaacooka kũrũa na rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũngĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, o na kana merute ũhoro wa mbaara hĩndĩ ĩngĩ.
The Lord will decide the cases of the nations; he will settle arguments between nations. They will hammer their swords and turn them into plough blades, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nations will not fight against each other anymore; they will no longer learn methods of warfare.
5 Atĩrĩrĩ wee nyũmba ya Jakubu, ũkaai tũthiiage tũmũrĩkĩirwo nĩ ũtheri wa Jehova.
Come, you Israelites, let's walk in the Lord's light.
6 Wee nĩũtiganĩirie andũ aku, o acio a nyũmba ya Jakubu. Nao marũmĩtie mũno mĩtugo na irĩra cia andũ a mwena wa irathĩro; maragũraga ta Afilisti, na makagĩa thiritũ na andũ matooĩ Ngai.
For you, Lord, have given up on your people the Israelites, because they have adopted pagan practices from the East, they use spells like the Philistines, and make friends with foreigners.
7 Bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩte betha na thahabu, igĩĩna ciao itingĩthira. Bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩte mbarathi; na ngaari ciao cia ita itingĩtarĩka.
Their country is full of silver and gold, and endless wealth. Their land is full of horses; and they have an endless amount of chariots.
8 Bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩte mĩhianano ya kũhooywo; mainamagĩrĩra wĩra wa moko mao, o indo iria mathondekete na ciara ciao.
Their country is full of idols; they bow down and worship what they have made themselves—produced by their own hands!
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ nĩakaharũrũkio, nacio iruka cia andũ iconorithio; ndũkanamarekere.
These people will be brought down and humiliated—Lord, don't forgive them!
10 Toonyai rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga, mwĩhithe tĩĩri-inĩ mũũrĩre kĩmakania kĩa Jehova na riiri wa ũnene wake!
Run away into rock caves, hide underground from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty.
11 Maitho ma mũndũ mwĩtĩĩi nĩmagaconorithio, naguo mwĩtĩĩo wa andũ nĩũkaharũrũkio; no Jehova we wiki nĩwe ũgaatũũgĩrio mũthenya ũcio.
Those who look with arrogance will be brought low; those who are proud will be humbled. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
12 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe arĩ na mũthenya aigĩte wa gũũkĩrĩra andũ arĩa othe etĩĩi na arĩa meĩkagĩrĩra, na arĩa othe metũũgagĩria (nao othe nĩmakanyiihio),
The Lord has set aside a day when he will deal with the proud and arrogant. He will end all self-glorification, bringing it down.
13 na okĩrĩre mĩtarakwa yothe ya Lebanoni, ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ na ĩkaneneha mũno, o na mĩgandi yothe ya Bashani,
He will cut down the cedars of Lebanon, tall and high, and all the great oaks of Bashan,
14 na okĩrĩre irĩma iria ndaaya na igũrũ, na tũrĩma tuothe tũrĩa tũraihu.
He will bring down the tall mountains and the high hills.
15 na okĩrĩre mũthiringo o wothe mũraihu na igũrũ na rũthingo o ruothe rwakĩtwo rwa hinya,
He will tear down every high tower and every defensive wall.
16 na okĩrĩre marikabu ciothe cia Tarishishi, na marikabu ciothe iria njega mũno.
He will wipe out all the commercial ships of Tarshish as well as the pleasure vessels.
17 Mwĩtũũgĩrio wa mũndũ nĩũkaharũrũkio, na mwĩtĩĩo wa andũ ũconorithio; no Jehova we wiki nĩwe ũgaatũũgĩrio mũthenya ũcio,
The arrogant will be humbled; the proud will be brought low. On that day only the Lord will be lifted high.
18 nayo mĩhianano ya kũhooywo nĩĩgathira biũ.
Idols will completely vanish away.
19 Andũ makoorĩra ngurunga-inĩ cia ndwaro cia mahiga, o na marima-inĩ ma thĩ, moorĩre kĩmakania kĩa Jehova na riiri wa ũnene wake, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa akaarũgama athingithie thĩ.
People will run away into rock caves and holes in the ground to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
20 Mũthenya ũcio andũ makooya mĩhianano yao ya betha, na mĩhianano yao ya thahabu, ĩrĩa methondekeire mamĩhooyage, mamĩikĩrie huko na huhu.
On that day the people will take the idols of silver and gold that they made to worship and throw them away to the rats and the bats.
21 Nao makoorĩra ngurunga-inĩ cia ndwaro cia mahiga, na mahiga-inĩ marĩa macunjurĩte morĩre kĩmakania kĩa Jehova na riiri wa ũnene wake, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa akaarũgama, athingithie thĩ.
They will run to cracks in the rocks and gaps on the cliffs to try and hide from the terrifying presence of the Lord, from the glory of his majesty, when he arrives to shake the earth.
22 Tiga kwĩhoka mũndũ, ũrĩa mĩhũmũ yake ĩrĩ o maniũrũ-inĩ make. Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, akĩrĩ wa bata ũrĩkũ?
Don't bother trusting human beings who only live for a while. How much do they count?
