Isaia 24
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova akirie kwananga thĩ, na atũme ĩkire ihooru; nake nĩakamĩũnũha na ahurunje arĩa matũũraga kuo:
See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.
2 gũgaakorwo kũrĩ ũndũ o ũmwe kũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na kũrĩ andũ, kũrĩ ndungata na kũrĩ mũmĩathi, kũrĩ ndungata ya mũirĩtu na kũrĩ mũtumia ũrĩa mũmĩathi, kũrĩ mwendia wa indo na kũrĩ mũgũri, kũrĩ mũkoombi na kũrĩ mũkoombanĩri, kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na thiirĩ na kũrĩ ũrĩa ũrandũraga thiirĩ.
And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.
3 Thĩ nĩ kwanangwo ĩkaanangwo na ĩtigwo ĩrĩ ũtheri biũ. Jehova nĩwe warĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.
4 Thĩ ĩngʼarĩte ĩkahooha, mabũrũri mothe magathirĩrĩkĩra na makahooha, andũ arĩa marĩ ngumo a thĩ nĩmorĩtwo nĩ hinya.
The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.
5 Thĩ nĩngwatie thaahu nĩ andũ ayo; nao maremeire mawatho, na makaagarara irĩra, na magathũkia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩa gũtũũra tene na tene.
The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩrumi nĩkĩrarĩa thĩ; na andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo makaherithio nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhia wao. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa matũũraga gũkũ thĩ nĩmacinĩtwo na mwaki, na nĩ anini mũno matigaire.
For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.
7 Ndibei ĩrĩa ya mũhihano nĩ thiru, nayo mĩthabibũ ĩkahooha; nao andũ arĩa marĩ ikeno-inĩ no gũcaaya maracaaya.
The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.
8 Gĩkeno kĩrĩa kiumanaga na kũhũũrwo gwa tũhembe nĩgĩtigĩte gũkenwo, narĩo inegene rĩa andũ arĩa arĩĩu nĩrĩthirĩte, ningĩ gĩkeno kĩrĩa gĩkenagwo gũkĩhũũrwo kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto nĩgĩkirĩtio.
The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.
9 Andũ arĩa manyuuaga ndibei matigacooka kũnyua makĩinaga rwĩmbo, nayo njoohi nĩĩrũrĩire arĩa mamĩnyuuaga.
There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.
10 Narĩo itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩanangĩku rĩkirĩte ihooru, namo matoonyero ma nyũmba ciothe nĩmahinge.
The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.
11 Kũu njĩra-inĩ andũ nĩ kũrĩra mararĩra nĩ kwaga ndibei, gĩkeno gĩothe gĩtuĩkĩte kĩeha, nacio ikeno ciothe igathira thĩ.
There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.
12 Itũũra rĩrĩa inene nĩrĩanange biũ, nakĩo kĩhingo kĩarĩo kiunangĩtwo gĩgatuĩka tũcunjĩ.
In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.
13 O ta ũrĩa mũtĩ wa mũtamaiyũ ũikaraga wainainio, na o ta ũrĩa mũtĩ wa mũthabibũ ũikaraga thabibũ ciahaarwo hĩndĩ ya magetha, ũguo noguo ũhoro ũgaikara gũkũ thĩ na ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe.
For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.
14 Maranĩrĩra, makoigĩrĩria nĩ gũkena; kuuma mwena wa ithũĩro marakũngũĩra ũnene wa Jehova.
But those will be making sounds of joy; they will be crying loudly from the sea for the glory of the Lord.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio inyuĩ andũ a kuuma mwena wa irathĩro gocithiai Jehova; nenehiai rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, kũu icigĩrĩra-inĩ cia iria.
Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.
16 Nĩtũiguĩte nyĩmbo ikĩinwo kuuma ituri cia thĩ, ikainwo atĩrĩ: “Arogoocwo ũcio Mũthingu.” No niĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndĩ na haaro-ĩ! nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩrahiinyĩrĩrĩka, ĩĩ ti-itherũ nĩndĩrahiinyĩrĩrĩka! Andũ arĩa akunyanĩri nĩmarakunyanĩra arĩa angĩ, o acio akunyanĩri magakunyanĩra arĩa angĩ na ũkunyanĩri mũnene mũno!”
From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.
17 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ arĩa mũtũũraga thĩ, iguoyohia, na irima, o na mũtego nĩcio imwetereire.
Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.
18 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkoora nĩ ũndũ wa iguoyohia, akaagũa irima, nake ũrĩa ũkoimĩra irima rĩu-rĩ, akaagwatio nĩ mũtego ũcio. Ndirica cia mũiyũro wa maaĩ cia igũrũ nĩhiingũre, nacio itina cia thĩ igathingitha.
And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
19 Thĩ nĩnjatũku, yatũkĩte ĩkarekania, ningĩ nĩĩrathingitha mũno mũno.
The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
20 Thĩ ĩratũgũga o ta mũrĩĩu, ĩgathũngũthio ũũ na ũũ o ta gĩthũnũ hĩndĩ ya rũhuho; mehia ma ũremi wayo nĩmamĩritũhĩire mũno, kũgũa nĩĩkũgũa na ndĩgaacooka gwĩtiiria rĩngĩ.
The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.
21 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, Jehova nĩakaherithia maahinya ma kũu igũrũ, o kũu matu-inĩ, na aherithie athamaki a thĩ ĩno.
And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 Nĩmagacookanĩrĩrio hamwe o ta ũrĩa andũ oohe macookanagĩrĩrio kĩoho-inĩ; makaahingĩrwo njeera na thuutha wa matukũ maingĩ nĩmakaherithio.
And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
23 Mweri nĩũgaconorithio, na riũa rĩconoke; nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũgaathamaka arĩ Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Zayuni na Jerusalemu, na mbere ya athuuri akuo, athamake arĩ na riiri.
Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.
