Isaia 22
1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ Gĩtuamba gĩa Kĩoneki: Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩ kĩĩ kĩragũthĩĩnia rĩu, tondũ andũ aku othe marahaica nyũmba igũrũ,
The doom of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the roofs?
2 wee itũũra rĩiyũrĩte ngũĩ, o wee itũũra inene rĩa mbugĩrĩrio na ũrĩĩu? Andũ aku arĩa makuĩte matiũragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, kana magakuĩra mbaara-inĩ.
O noiseful, tumultuous city, joyous town? thy slain ones are not slain with the sword, and not those that die in battle.
3 Atongoria aku othe nĩmorĩte marĩ hamwe; maatahirwo o na hatarĩ mũguĩ ũikĩtio. Andũ aku othe arĩa maakorereirwo moohirwo hamwe, o acio mooraga thũ ĩrĩ o kũraya.
All thy rulers are fled together, they are made prisoners by the bowmen: all that are found in thee are made prisoners together, who have run away from afar.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Njeherera; reke ndĩre ngĩgirĩkaga. Ndũkagerie kũũhooreria igũrũ rĩa mwanangĩko ũrĩa ũkorete andũ akwa.”
Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly; be not urgent to comfort me, because of the wasting of the daughter of my people.
5 Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, arĩ na mũthenya ũrĩa agaatũma ũtuĩke wa mbugĩrĩrio, na wa kũranganĩrĩria, o na wa kũguoyohia kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩa Kĩoneki. Mũthenya ũcio ũgaakorwo ũrĩ wa kũmomora thingo igwe thĩ, na wa gũkaĩra irĩma.
For a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity hath the Lord Eternal of hosts in the valley of vision; walls are broken, and crying is heard against the mountain.
6 Andũ a Elamu nĩmakuuĩte thiaka wa mĩguĩ, marĩ na ngaari cia ita na andũ mahaicĩte mbarathi; o nao andũ a Kiri macuurũragia ngo.
And 'Elam beareth the quiver, [cometh] with men in chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovereth the shield.
7 Ituamba ciaku iria njega mũno ciyũrĩte ngaari cia ita, nao andũ arĩa mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi maigĩtwo ihingo-inĩ cia itũũra inene;
And it is so, that thy choicest valleys are full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array against the gate.
8 naguo ũgitĩri wa Juda nĩweheretio. Mũthenya ũcio nĩmwacũthĩrĩirie indo cia mbaara iria ciarĩ Nyũmba-inĩ ya Ũnene ya Mũtitũ;
And he laid open the covering of Judah; and thou didst look on that day toward the armor of the house of the forest.
9 mũkĩona atĩ thingo cia ũgitĩri cia Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi nĩciatharũkĩte kũndũ kũingĩ; na inyuĩ mũkĩhingĩrĩria maaĩ Karia ka Mũhuro.
And the breaches of the city of David have ye seen, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Nĩmwatarire nyũmba kũu Jerusalemu, na mũgĩtharia nyũmba nĩguo muone mahiga ma gũcookereria rũthingo rũgĩe na hinya makĩria.
And the houses of Jerusalem have ye numbered, and ye have pulled down the houses to fortify the wall.
11 Nĩmwakire handũ ha kũhingĩrĩria maaĩ gatagatĩ ga thingo cierĩ, nĩgeetha maaĩ ma Karia ga Tene mathiiage ho, no mũtiigana kũrongooria Ũrĩa wagathondekire, kana mũrũmbũiye Ũrĩa watũmire kagĩe ho kuuma o tene.
And a tank have ye made between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but ye have not looked at the Maker thereof, him that fashioned it in distant times have ye not regarded.
12 Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩamwĩtire mũthenya ũcio nĩguo mũrĩre na mũgirĩke, na mwenjwo njuĩrĩ cianyu na mwĩhumbe nguo cia ikũnia.
And the Lord Eternal of hosts called on that day for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.
13 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ mũrĩ na gĩkeno na ũrĩĩu, mũrathĩnja ngʼombe na ngʼondu, mũkĩrĩĩaga nyama na mũkĩnyuuaga ndibei! Mũgakiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũrĩe na tũnyue, nĩgũkorwo rũciũ nĩtũgaakua!”
And behold [there are] gladness and joy, slaying of oxen, and killing of sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we must die.”
14 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩanguũrĩirie ũhoro ũyũ ndĩmũthikĩrĩirie, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩhia rĩrĩ mũtikahoroherio nginya mũgaakua,” ũguo nĩguo Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga.
And it was revealed in my ears by the Lord of hosts: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven unto you until ye die, said the Lord the Eternal of hosts.
15 Na rĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Thiĩ kũrĩ Shebina, ũrĩa mũramati na mũrũgamĩrĩri wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ:
Thus hath said the Lord, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, who is [superintendent] over the house;
16 Ũreka atĩa gũkũ na nũũ ũgwĩtĩkĩrĩtie kwĩyenjera mbĩrĩra gũkũ, ũgetemera mbĩrĩra handũ hatũũgĩru, na ũkeyacũhĩria harĩa ũkaahurũkio rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga?
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn out for thyself here a sepulchre, [the man] that hath hewn out on high his sepulchre, that holloweth out in the rock a habitation for himself?
17 “Wĩhũũge, tondũ Jehova akiriĩ gũkũnyiita akũrũmĩtie, acooke akũnyugute, wee mũndũ ũyũ ũrĩ hinya.
Behold, the Lord will thrust thee about with a mighty throw, O man! and will lay fast hold of thee;
18 Nĩagagũkũnja akũrũmie o ta mũbira, agũikie bũrũri mwariĩ. Kũu nĩkuo ũgaakuĩra, na nokuo ngaari ciaku cia ita iria irĩ riiri igaikara: wee ũconorithagia nyũmba ya mwathi waku!
He will roll thee up as a bundle, and [toss thee] like a ball into a country of ample space: there shalt thou die, and there shall [remain] the chariots of thy glory, thou disgrace of the house of thy lord.
19 Nĩngakũingata wehere wĩra-inĩ waku na ũtunywo wĩra ũcio ũrũgamĩrĩire.
And I will cast thee out from thy station, and from thy post shall he pull thee down.
20 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩngeeta ndungata yakwa, Eliakimu mũrũ wa Hilikia.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will call my servant, for Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu.
21 Nĩngamũhumba nguo yaku ĩrĩa ndaaya na ndĩmũhotore mũcibi waku, na ndĩmũnengere wathani waku. Nĩagatuĩka ithe wa arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu o na wa nyũmba ya Juda.
And I will clothe him with thy robe, and thy girdle will I fasten around him, and thy government will I place into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 Kĩhingũro kĩa nyũmba ya Daudi ngaakĩigĩrĩra kĩande-inĩ gĩake; na rĩrĩ, kĩrĩa gĩothe akaahingũra gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũhinga, na kĩrĩa gĩothe akaahinga gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaahota kũhingũra.
And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; so that he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 Ngaamuoherera handũ harũmu aikare ho ta higĩ hũũrĩrĩre; atuĩke gĩtĩ gĩa gĩtĩĩo thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ithe.
And I will fasten him as a tent-nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a chair of honor to his father's house.
24 Nĩwe ũgaacookererwo nĩ riiri wothe wa nyũmba ya ithe ta ũcuurĩtio harĩ we: ciana ciake na iria ikeyongerera thĩinĩ wa ciana icio, o indo ciothe ciayo iria cionekaga ta itarĩ kĩene, kuuma mbakũri nginya mĩthemba yothe ya ndigithũ.”
And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the shoots and offshoots, all the small vessels, from the vessels of basins, even to all the vessels of flagons.
25 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio higĩ ĩrĩa thecerere handũ harũmu nĩĩkenyenya; nĩĩkamunyũka ĩgwe, na indo iria njuurie harĩ yo nĩikaharagana.” Jehova nĩwe warĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
On that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall be removed the nail that is fastened in the sure place, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that is upon it shall be cut off; for the Lord hath spoken it.
