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 lay a charge doth Jehovah, With his sword — the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan — a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan — a crooked serpent, And He hath slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ: “Inĩrai mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ ũrĩa ũciaraga maciaro maingĩ:
In that day, 'A desirable vineyard,' respond ye to her,
3 Niĩ Jehova, nĩ niĩ ndĩũmenyagĩrĩra, na nĩ niĩ ndĩunithagĩria maaĩ hĩndĩ ciothe. Ndĩũrangagĩra mũthenya na ũtukũ, nĩgeetha mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndakaũthũkie.
I, Jehovah, am its keeper, every moment I water it, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
4 Niĩ ndirakarĩte. Naarĩ korwo nĩ congʼe na mĩigua iranjũkĩrĩra! No thiĩ ngahũũrane mbaara nacio; Ingĩcicina ciothe na mwaki.
Fury is not in Me; Who giveth Me a brier — a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
5 Akorwo ti ũguo, nĩirekwo ciũke ciĩhithe kũrĩ niĩ; nĩirekwo icarie thayũ na niĩ, ĩĩ ti-itherũ nĩicarie thayũ na niĩ.”
Or — he doth take hold on My strength, He doth make peace with Me, Peace he doth make with Me.
6 Matukũ marĩa magooka-rĩ, Jakubu nĩakagĩa na mĩri, Isiraeli agaathundũka arute kĩro, aiyũrie thĩ yothe maciaro.
Those coming in He causeth to take root, Jacob doth blossom, and flourished hath Israel, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
7 Anga Jehova nĩahũũrĩte Isiraeli, ta ũrĩa aahũũrire arĩa maamũhũũraga? Anga nĩoragĩtwo ta ũrĩa arĩa maamũũragaga mooragirwo?
As the smiting of his smiter hath He smitten him? As the slaying of his slain doth He slay?
8 Wamũrũithirie na mbaara na gũtahwo: amũingataga na rũhuho rwake rwa hinya, ta mũthenya ũrĩa rũhuho rwa mwena wa irathĩro rũhurutanaga.
In measure, in sending it forth, thou strivest with it, He hath taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an 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 is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And this [is] all the fruit — To take away his sin, in His setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They rise not — shrines and images.
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 fenced city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There doth the calf delight, And there it lieth down, And hath consumed 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.
In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it.
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.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Beat out doth Jehovah from the branch of the river, Unto the stream of Egypt, And ye are gathered one by one, O sons 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.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, It is blown with a great trumpet, And come in have those perishing in the land of Asshur, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to Jehovah, In the holy mount — in Jerusalem!
