Isaia 26
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio rwĩmbo rũrũ nĩruo rũkainwo bũrũri wa Juda: Tũrĩ na itũũra inene rĩa hinya; Ngai atuuaga ũhonokio ũtuĩke thingo ciarĩo na njirigo ciarĩo cia hinya.
In that day shall this canticle be sung the land of Juda. Sion the city of our strength a saviour, a wall and a bulwark shall be set therein.
2 Hingũrai ihingo nĩguo rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũthingu rũtoonye, o rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũrũmagia wĩtĩkio.
Open ye the gates, and let the just nation, that keepeth the truth, enter in.
3 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ meciiria makindĩirie harĩwe-rĩ, nĩwe ũgaatũũria na thayũ mũkinyanĩru tondũ nĩakwĩhokete.
The old error is passed away: thou wilt keep peace: peace, because we have hoped in thee.
4 Tũũrai mwĩhokete Jehova nginya tene, nĩgũkorwo Jehova, o we Jehova, nĩwe Rwaro rwa Ihiga rwa tene na tene.
You have hoped in the Lord for evermore, in the Lord God mighty for ever.
5 Nĩanyiihagia andũ arĩa maikaraga kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, o na itũũra rĩrĩa itũũgĩru akarĩharũrũkia, akarĩharagania thĩ, agacooka akarĩtungumania rũkũngũ-inĩ.
For he shall bring down them that dwell on high, the high city he shall lay low. He shall bring it down even to the ground, he shall pull it down even to the dust.
6 Magũrũ ma andũ makarĩrangĩrĩria; magũrũ ma andũ arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie, o na makinya ma arĩa athĩĩni.
The foot shall tread it down, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.
7 Njĩra ya andũ arĩa athingu nĩ nũngĩrĩru; nawe Jehova, Wee Mũthingu, nĩwe ũnyorokagia njĩra cia arĩa athingu.
The way of the just is right, the path of the just is right to walk in.
8 Ĩĩ, ti-itherũ Jehova, nĩwe twetagĩrĩra o tũgĩthiiagĩra njĩra ya mawatho maku; ngoro ciitũ ciĩriragĩria rĩĩtwa rĩaku na ngumo yaku.
And in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, we have patiently waited for thee: thy name, and thy remembrance are the desire of the soul.
9 Ngoro yakwa nĩwe ĩĩriragĩria ũtukũ; rũciinĩ roho wakwa ũgakũnyootera. Rĩrĩa watuanĩra ciira wa kĩhooto gũkũ thĩ, andũ a mabũrũri mothe nĩmerutaga ũhoro wa ũthingu.
My soul hath desired thee in the night: yea, and with my spirit within me in the morning early I will watch to thee. When thou shalt do thy judgments on the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learn justice.
10 O na andũ aaganu mangĩiguĩrwo tha, matiĩrutaga ũhoro wa ũthingu; o na marĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa arũngĩrĩru, mathiiaga o na mbere gwĩka ũũru, makaaga gũtĩĩa ũnene wa Jehova.
Let us have pity on the wicked, but he will not learn justice: in the land of the saints he hath done wicked things, and he shall not see the glory of the Lord.
11 Wee Jehova-rĩ, guoko gwaku nĩ kwambararĩtio na igũrũ, no matingĩkuona o na atĩa. No rĩrĩ, reke mone kĩyo kĩrĩa ũrĩ nakĩo nĩ ũndũ wa andũ aku, nĩgeetha maconoke; mwaki ũrĩa ũigĩirwo thũ ciaku nĩũrekwo ũmacine.
Lord, let thy hand be exalted, and let them not see: let the envious people see, and be confounded: and let fire devour thy enemies.
12 Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩwe ũtũheaga thayũ; maũndũ marĩa mothe tũhingĩtie, nĩwe ũtwĩkĩire.
Lord, thou wilt give us peace: for thou hast wrought all our works for us.
13 Wee Jehova, o Wee Ngai witũ, nĩ harĩ aathani angĩ manatwatha tiga wee, no rĩrĩ, rĩĩtwa rĩaku riiki norĩo tũtĩĩte.
O Lord our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us, only in thee let us remember thy name.
14 Na rĩrĩ, acio rĩu nĩmakuĩte, matigacooka gũtũũra muoyo; maroho macio matikariũka. Wee nĩwamaherithirie ũkĩmaananga; ningĩ ũgĩtũma mariganĩre biũ.
Let not the dead live, let not the giants rise again: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and best destroyed all their memory.
15 Wee Jehova nĩũtũmĩte rũrĩrĩ rũu ruongerereke; ti-itherũ nĩwongereire rũrĩrĩ rũu, ũkarũingĩhia. Wee nĩwĩgĩĩrĩire na riiri, ũkaaramia mĩhaka yothe ya bũrũri.
Thou hast been favourable to the nation, O Lord, thou hast been favourable to the nation: art thou glorified? thou hast removed all the ends of the earth far off.
16 Atĩrĩrĩ Jehova, mookire kũrĩ we rĩrĩa maarĩ na mathĩĩna; rĩrĩa wamaherithagia-rĩ, maahotaga o kũhooya na mĩheehũ.
Lord, they have sought after thee in distress, in the tribulation of murmuring thy instruction was with them.
17 O ta ũrĩa mũndũ-wa-nja arĩ na nda akiriĩ gũciara enyogondaga na agakaya nĩ ruo-rĩ, ũguo noguo twatariĩ tũrĩ mbere yaku, Wee Jehova.
As a woman with child, when she draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs: so are we become in thy presence, O Lord.
18 Ithuĩ twatariĩ ta twarĩ nda, twenyogondaga nĩ ruo, no rĩrĩ, nĩ ta twaciarire o rũhuho. Gũtirĩ ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wa kũhonokania twĩkĩte gũkũ thĩ, o na kana tũgaciara andũ arĩa maikaraga gũkũ thĩ.
We have conceived, and been as it were in labour, and have brought forth wind: we have not wrought salvation on the earth, therefore the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
19 No rĩrĩ, andũ aku arĩa makuĩte nĩmagatũũra muoyo; mĩĩrĩ yao nĩĩkariũka. Inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga rũkũngũ-inĩ, ũkĩrai na mwanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena. Ime rĩanyu rĩtariĩ ta ireera rĩa rũciinĩ; nayo thĩ nĩĩgacookia andũ arĩa akuũ muoyo.
Thy dead men shall live, my slain shall rise again: awake, and give praise, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is the dew of the light: and the land of the giants thou shalt pull down into ruin.
20 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ akwa, thiĩi mũtoonye tũnyũmba twanyu na mwĩhingĩre; mwĩhithe kuo gwa kahinda kanini nginya mangʼũrĩ make mathire.
Go, my people, enter into thy chambers, shut thy doors upon thee, hide thyself a little for a moment, until the indignation pass away.
21 Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova nĩarooka oimĩte gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake, nĩguo aherithie andũ a gũkũ thĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao. Nayo thĩ nĩĩkonania thakame ĩrĩa ĩitĩtwo kuo; ndĩgaacooka kũhitha andũ ayo arĩa moragĩtwo.
For behold the Lord will come out of his place, to visit the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth against him: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall cover her slain no more.
