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 song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Hingũrai ihingo nĩguo rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũthingu rũtoonye, o rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũrũmagia wĩtĩkio.
Open all of you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ meciiria makindĩirie harĩwe-rĩ, nĩwe ũgaatũũria na thayũ mũkinyanĩru tondũ nĩakwĩhokete.
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.
4 Tũũrai mwĩhokete Jehova nginya tene, nĩgũkorwo Jehova, o we Jehova, nĩwe Rwaro rwa Ihiga rwa tene na tene.
Trust all of you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
5 Nĩanyiihagia andũ arĩa maikaraga kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, o na itũũra rĩrĩa itũũgĩru akarĩharũrũkia, akarĩharagania thĩ, agacooka akarĩtungumania rũkũngũ-inĩ.
For he brings down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he lays it low; he lays it low, even to the ground; he brings it 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, even the feet of the poor, and 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 uprightness: you, most upright, do weigh the path of the just.
8 Ĩĩ, ti-itherũ Jehova, nĩwe twetagĩrĩra o tũgĩthiiagĩra njĩra ya mawatho maku; ngoro ciitũ ciĩriragĩria rĩĩtwa rĩaku na ngumo yaku.
Yea, in the way of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you; the desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you.
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.
With my soul have I desired you in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
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 favour be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty 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, when your hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of your enemies shall devour them.
12 Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩwe ũtũheaga thayũ; maũndũ marĩa mothe tũhingĩtie, nĩwe ũtwĩkĩire.
LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have wrought all our works in 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 beside you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of your name.
14 Na rĩrĩ, acio rĩu nĩmakuĩte, matigacooka gũtũũra muoyo; maroho macio matikariũka. Wee nĩwamaherithirie ũkĩmaananga; ningĩ ũgĩtũma mariganĩre biũ.
They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15 Wee Jehova nĩũtũmĩte rũrĩrĩ rũu ruongerereke; ti-itherũ nĩwongereire rũrĩrĩ rũu, ũkarũingĩhia. Wee nĩwĩgĩĩrĩire na riiri, ũkaaramia mĩhaka yothe ya bũrũri.
You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you had removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
16 Atĩrĩrĩ Jehova, mookire kũrĩ we rĩrĩa maarĩ na mathĩĩna; rĩrĩa wamaherithagia-rĩ, maahotaga o kũhooya na mĩheehũ.
LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was upon 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.
Like a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, 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 been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world 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.
Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, all of you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ akwa, thiĩi mũtoonye tũnyũmba twanyu na mwĩhingĩre; mwĩhithe kuo gwa kahinda kanini nginya mangʼũrĩ make mathire.
Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation pass over.
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 comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
