< Isaia 2 >

1 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu onire ũkoniĩ Juda na Jerusalemu:
The word which came to Esaias the son of Amos concerning Judea, and concerning 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.
For in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be glorious, and the house of God [shall be] on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come 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.
And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will tell us his way, and we will walk in it: for out of Sion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of 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.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles: and nation shall not take up sword against nation, neither shall they learn to war any more.
5 Atĩrĩrĩ wee nyũmba ya Jakubu, ũkaai tũthiiage tũmũrĩkĩirwo nĩ ũtheri wa Jehova.
And now, O house of Jacob, come, [and] let us walk in the light of the Lord.
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 he has forsaken his people the house of Israel, because their land is filled as at the beginning with divinations, as the [land] of the Philistines, and many strange children were born to them.
7 Bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩte betha na thahabu, igĩĩna ciao itingĩthira. Bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩte mbarathi; na ngaari ciao cia ita itingĩtarĩka.
For their land is filled with silver and gold, and there was no number of their treasures; their land also is filled with horses, and there was no number of chariots.
8 Bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩte mĩhianano ya kũhooywo; mainamagĩrĩra wĩra wa moko mao, o indo iria mathondekete na ciara ciao.
And the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ nĩakaharũrũkio, nacio iruka cia andũ iconorithio; ndũkanamarekere.
And the mean man bowed down, and the great man was humbled: and I will not pardon them.
10 Toonyai rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga, mwĩhithe tĩĩri-inĩ mũũrĩre kĩmakania kĩa Jehova na riiri wa ũnene wake!
Now therefore enter you into the rocks, and hide yourselves in the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
11 Maitho ma mũndũ mwĩtĩĩi nĩmagaconorithio, naguo mwĩtĩĩo wa andũ nĩũkaharũrũkio; no Jehova we wiki nĩwe ũgaatũũgĩrio mũthenya ũcio.
For the eyes of the Lord are high, but man is low; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
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),
For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and haughty, and upon every one that is high and towering, and they shall be brought down;
13 na okĩrĩre mĩtarakwa yothe ya Lebanoni, ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ na ĩkaneneha mũno, o na mĩgandi yothe ya Bashani,
and upon every cedar of Libanus, of them that are high and towering, and upon every oak of Basan,
14 na okĩrĩre irĩma iria ndaaya na igũrũ, na tũrĩma tuothe tũrĩa tũraihu.
and upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill,
15 na okĩrĩre mũthiringo o wothe mũraihu na igũrũ na rũthingo o ruothe rwakĩtwo rwa hinya,
and upon every high tower, and upon every high wall,
16 na okĩrĩre marikabu ciothe cia Tarishishi, na marikabu ciothe iria njega mũno.
and upon every ship of the sea, and upon every display of fine ships.
17 Mwĩtũũgĩrio wa mũndũ nĩũkaharũrũkio, na mwĩtĩĩo wa andũ ũconorithio; no Jehova we wiki nĩwe ũgaatũũgĩrio mũthenya ũcio,
And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 nayo mĩhianano ya kũhooywo nĩĩgathira biũ.
And they shall hide all [idols] made with hands,
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.
having carried [them] into the caves, and into the clefts of the rocks, and into the caverns of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
20 Mũthenya ũcio andũ makooya mĩhianano yao ya betha, na mĩhianano yao ya thahabu, ĩrĩa methondekeire mamĩhooyage, mamĩikĩrie huko na huhu.
For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made [in order] to worship vanities and 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.
to enter into the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth.
22 Tiga kwĩhoka mũndũ, ũrĩa mĩhũmũ yake ĩrĩ o maniũrũ-inĩ make. Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, akĩrĩ wa bata ũrĩkũ?
