Isaia 27
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio, Jehova nĩakaherithia na rũhiũ rwake rwa njora, rũhiũ rũu rwake rwa njora rũũgĩ, na rũnene, na rũrĩ hinya, aherithie Leviathani nyoka ĩrĩa ĩnyororokaga na ihenya, o Leviathani nyoka ĩrĩa ĩĩthioranagia; nĩakooraga ndamathia ĩrĩa ya iria-inĩ.
In that day, the LORD with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan, the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.
2 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ: “Inĩrai mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ ũrĩa ũciaraga maciaro maingĩ:
In that day, sing to her, “A pleasant vineyard!
3 Niĩ Jehova, nĩ niĩ ndĩũmenyagĩrĩra, na nĩ niĩ ndĩunithagĩria maaĩ hĩndĩ ciothe. Ndĩũrangagĩra mũthenya na ũtukũ, nĩgeetha mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndakaũthũkie.
I, the LORD, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Niĩ ndirakarĩte. Naarĩ korwo nĩ congʼe na mĩigua iranjũkĩrĩra! No thiĩ ngahũũrane mbaara nacio; Ingĩcicina ciothe na mwaki.
Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together.
5 Akorwo ti ũguo, nĩirekwo ciũke ciĩhithe kũrĩ niĩ; nĩirekwo icarie thayũ na niĩ, ĩĩ ti-itherũ nĩicarie thayũ na niĩ.”
Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me.”
6 Matukũ marĩa magooka-rĩ, Jakubu nĩakagĩa na mĩri, Isiraeli agaathundũka arute kĩro, aiyũrie thĩ yothe maciaro.
In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.
7 Anga Jehova nĩahũũrĩte Isiraeli, ta ũrĩa aahũũrire arĩa maamũhũũraga? Anga nĩoragĩtwo ta ũrĩa arĩa maamũũragaga mooragirwo?
Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?
8 Wamũrũithirie na mbaara na gũtahwo: amũingataga na rũhuho rwake rwa hinya, ta mũthenya ũrĩa rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro rũhurutanaga.
In measure, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
9 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, mahĩtia ma Jakubu nĩmakahoroherio mathire, namo maciaro maya nĩmo makoonekana nĩ ũndũ wa kwehererio mehia make: Atĩ mahiga mothe ma kĩgongona akaamatua ta coka ũhehenjetwo ũgatuĩka tũcunjĩ, na gũtirĩ itugĩ cia Ashera kana igongona cia gũcinĩra ũbumba igaatigwo irũgamĩte.
Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherah poles and the incense altars shall rise no more.
10 Itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩirigĩre na hinya rĩkirĩte ihooru, kĩrĩ gĩikaro gĩthaamĩtwo, gĩgatiganĩrio kĩrĩ ũtheri ta werũ; kũu nĩkuo njaũ irĩithagio, na nokuo ikomaga; nacio ihũrũraga honge ciakuo gũgatigwo ũtheri.
For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tũrũhonge tuoma-rĩ, nĩkunangwo tuunangagwo, nao andũ-a-nja magooka magaakia mwaki natuo. Na tondũ aya nĩ andũ matarĩ na ũmenyo-rĩ, ũcio Mũũmbi wao ndamaiguagĩra tha, ũcio wamoombire ndamekaga wega.
When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
12 Mũthenya ũcio Jehova nĩagacookanĩrĩria maciaro marĩa agethete, amarute kũrĩa guothe Rũũĩ rwa Farati rũthereraga, o nginya Karũũĩ ka Misiri, na inyuĩ o inyuĩ andũ a Isiraeli, nĩmũgacookanĩrĩrio ũmwe kwa ũmwe.
It will happen in that day that the LORD will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel.
13 Na mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, mũgambo mũnene wa karumbeta nĩũkaiguuo. Nao andũ arĩa moorĩire bũrũri wa Ashuri, na arĩa maatahĩtwo magatwarwo Misiri, nĩmagooka na mahooe Jehova marĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩrĩa gĩtheru kũu Jerusalemu.
It will happen in that day that a great shofar will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
