Isaia 25
1 Wee Jehova-rĩ, Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa; nĩngũgũtũũgĩria na ngooce rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩgũkorwo nĩwĩkĩte maũndũ ma magegania, na maũndũ marĩa maabangĩtwo kuuma o tene, ũkamahingia na wĩhokeku waku mũkinyanĩru.
O LORD, Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name, for Thou hast done wonderful things; even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth.
2 Nĩũtũmĩte itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩtuĩke hĩba ya mahiga, itũũra rĩu rĩirigĩre na hinya ũgatũma rĩanangwo, itũũra inene rĩrĩa rĩarĩ kĩĩhitho kĩa andũ a kũngĩ, ti itũũra rĩngĩ, na rĩtigaakwo rĩngĩ.
For Thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin; a castle of strangers to be no city, it shall never be built.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa marĩ hinya nĩmagagũtĩĩa, namo matũũra manene ma ndũrĩrĩ iria itarĩ tha magwĩtigĩre.
Therefore shall the strong people glorify Thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear Thee.
4 Wee ũkoretwo ũrĩ rĩũrĩro rĩa athĩĩni, na rĩũrĩro rĩa abatari hĩndĩ ya mĩnyamaro yao, handũ ha kũũrĩra hĩndĩ ya kĩhuhũkanio, o na ta kĩĩruru gĩa kwĩyũa riũa. Nĩgũkorwo mĩhũmũ ya arĩa matarĩ tha ĩhaana kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa kĩgũthaga rũthingo na nditi,
For Thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones was as a storm against the wall.
5 ningĩ ĩhaana ta ũrugarĩ wa werũ-inĩ. Wee nĩwe ũkiragia ngũĩ ya andũ a kũngĩ o ta ũrĩa ũrugarĩ ũnyiihagio nĩ kĩĩruru gĩa itu, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio rwĩmbo rwa acio matarĩ tha nĩrũtigĩte kũinwo.
As the heat in a dry place, Thou didst subdue the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones was brought low.
6 Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ nĩkuo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe akaarugithĩria andũ othe iruga rĩa irio iria njega mũno, na iruga rĩa ndibei ĩrĩa njega mũno: iruga rĩa nyama iria njega mũno, o na ndibei ĩrĩa njega mũno makĩria.
And in this mountain will the LORD of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ nĩkĩo akaanangĩra taama ũrĩa wohanĩtie andũ othe, na cuka ũrĩa ũhumbĩrĩte ndũrĩrĩ ciothe;
And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that is cast over all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 gĩkuũ nĩkũniinwo gĩkaaniinwo nginya tene. Ningĩ Mwathani Jehova nĩakagiria maithori, kuuma mothiũ mothe, na rũmena rũrĩa andũ ake mamenetwo na ruo arũniine, rũthire thĩ yothe. Jehova nĩwe warĩtie ũhoro ũcio.
He will swallow up death for ever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of His people will He take away from off all the earth; for the LORD hath spoken it.
9 Mũthenya ũcio nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũyũ nĩwe Ngai witũ; nĩwe twehokire, nake agĩtũhonokia, ũyũ nĩwe Jehova, nĩwe twehokire; nĩtũkene na tũcanjamũke nĩ ũndũ wa ũhonokio wake.”
And it shall be said in that day: 'Lo, this is our God, for whom we waited, that He might save us; this is the LORD, for whom we waited, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.'
10 Nĩgũkorwo guoko kwa Jehova gũgaikaraga kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ; no Moabi gũkaarangĩrĩrio rungu rwake, o ta ũrĩa nyeki nyũmũ ĩrangagĩrĩrio thumu-inĩ.
For in this mountain will the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the dunghill.
11 Magaatambũrũkĩria moko mao kuo, o ta ũrĩa mũthambĩri atambũrũkagia moko agĩĩthambĩra. Ngai nĩwe ũkaaharũrũkia mwĩtĩĩo wao, o na marĩ na wara wa wĩra ũrĩa marutaga na moko mao.
And when he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim, his pride shall be brought down together with the cunning of his hands.
12 Nĩakamomora thingo cianyu iria ndaihu ciakĩtwo na hinya, acigũithie thĩ; agaacimomora igwe thĩ, o rũkũngũ-inĩ.
And the high fortress of thy walls will He bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
