Isaia 30

1 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ciana iria nemi irĩ na haaro-ĩ! o icio ihingagia mĩbango ĩtarĩ yakwa, na igathondeka ngwatanĩro, no ti na Roho wakwa, igakĩiganĩrĩra mehia igũrũ rĩa mehia;

WOE to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

2 o icio ciikũrũkaga igathiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri itaahoete kĩrĩra; icio ciethaga ũteithio wa kũgitĩrwo nĩ Firaũni, na ikehoka kĩĩruru kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri gĩtuĩke rĩũrĩro rĩacio.

That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

3 No ũgitĩri ũcio wa Firaũni ũgaatuĩka wa kũmũconorithia, na kwĩhoka kĩĩruru kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri gũkaamũrehera thoni.

Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

4 O na akorwo marĩ na anene kũu Zoani, na mabarũthi mao nĩmakinyĩte Hanesi-rĩ,

For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.

5 andũ othe nĩmagaconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa andũ matangĩmaguna na ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, arĩa matangĩmateithia kana mamagune, tiga o kũmaconorithia na kũmarehera thoni.”

They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

6 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ nyamũ cia Negevu: Mabarũthi mao makuuaga ũtonga wao na ndigiri, na igĩĩna ciao magaaciigĩrĩra maguku-inĩ ma ngamĩĩra, magatuĩkanĩria bũrũri wa thĩĩna na wa mĩnyamaro, bũrũri ũrĩ mĩrũũthi ya njamba na ya nga, na nduĩra na nyoka iria ĩticũkaga, macitware bũrũri wa andũ matangĩmaguna o na atĩa.

The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

7 Nĩgũkorwo ũteithio wa Misiri nĩ wa tũhũ na ndũrĩ kĩguni. Nĩ ũndũ bũrũri ũcio ndĩwĩtĩte Rahabu ũrĩa Ũtarĩ-ũndũ-Ekaga.

For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

8 Na rĩrĩ, rĩu thiĩ ũmakururĩre ũhoro ũyũ kĩbaũ-inĩ, na ũwandĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, nĩgeetha ũgaatuĩka ũira wa gũtũũra matukũ marĩa magooka.

Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

9 Nĩgũkorwo aya nĩ andũ aremi na nĩ ciana itũire iheenanagia, ciana itendaga gũthikĩrĩria ũtaaro wa Jehova.

That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

10 Nacio ciĩraga ooni-maũndũ atĩrĩ, “Mũtigatuonere maũndũ mangĩ!” na ikeera anabii atĩrĩ, “Tigai gũtũrathĩra maũndũ ma ũhoro wa ma! Twĩragei maũndũ marĩa mangĩtũkenia, na mũtũrathagĩre maũndũ ma maheeni.

Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

11 Eherai njĩra-inĩ ĩno, muume gacĩra-inĩ gaka, na mũtige gũtwĩra ũhoro wa Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli!”

Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tondũ nĩmũregete ndũmĩrĩri ĩno, mũkehoka ũhinyanĩrĩria, na mũgatua maheeni kĩndũ gĩa gwĩtiiranagia nakĩo,

Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

13 rĩhia rĩĩrĩ rĩgũtuĩka ta rũthingo rũraihu na igũrũ, rũrĩ na mwatũka ũrĩa ũikaraga o ũkĩaramaga, rũrĩa rũmomokaga o narua, o rĩmwe.

Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

14 Rũkoinĩkanga tũcunjĩ ta nyũngũ, rũthethereke rũtegũcaĩrwo, ũndũ hakaaga gacunjĩ o na kamwe gakoneka kangĩruta mwaki riiko, kana kangĩtaha maaĩ kuuma gĩthima-inĩ.”

And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

15 Mwathani Jehova Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Njĩra ĩrĩa ĩngĩtũma mũhonoke no ya kwĩrira na gũikara mũtegwĩtanga, naguo hinya ũrĩa mũkaagĩa naguo ũkooneka nĩ ũndũ wa gũikara mũhooreire na kwĩhoka, no macio mothe nĩmũmaregete.

For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

16 Mwoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, nĩtũkoora tũhaicĩte mbarathi.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũgakĩũra! Ningĩ mũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Tũkaahaica mbarathi iria irĩ ihenya mũno tũũre!’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩa makaamũtengʼeria magaakorwo marĩ na ihenya mũno o nao!

But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

17 Andũ ngiri makoora nĩ kũmakio nĩ mũndũ ũmwe; na inyuĩ inyuothe mũũre nĩ kũmakio nĩ andũ atano, nginya mũtigwo mũhaana ta mũtĩ wa bendera ũrĩ kĩrĩma-igũrũ, o na ta bendera ĩrĩ karĩma-igũrũ.”

One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.

18 O na gũtariĩ ũguo-rĩ, Jehova eriragĩria kũmũtuga; arahũkaga nĩguo amũiguĩre tha. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩ Ngai ũtuanagĩra ciira na kĩhooto. Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa othe mamwetagĩrĩra.

And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

19 Inyuĩ andũ a Zayuni, o inyuĩ mũtũũraga Jerusalemu, mũtigacooka kũrĩra. Hĩ, kaĩ nĩakamũtuga rĩrĩa mũkaamũkaĩra amũteithie-ĩ! Na rĩrĩa akaamũigua nĩakamwĩtĩka.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

20 O na gũtuĩka Mwathani nĩamũheaga irio cia thĩĩna na maaĩ ma mĩnyamaro-rĩ, arutani anyu matigacooka kũhithwo rĩngĩ; mũkaameyonera na maitho manyu.

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

21 O na mũngĩkagarũrũka na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho, matũ manyu nĩmakaiguaga mũgambo thuutha wanyu ũkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo njĩra; gererai yo.”

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

22 Ningĩ nĩmũgathaahia mĩhianano yanyu ya kũhooywo ĩrĩa ĩgemetio na betha igũrũ, na mĩhiano yanyu ĩrĩa ĩgemetio na thahabu igũrũ; mũkaamĩte ta taama ũrĩ thaahu wa mũndũ-wa-nja hĩndĩ ya mweri, mũmĩĩre atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi na kũu muume haha!”

Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

23 Ningĩ nĩakamuurĩria mbura nĩ ũndũ wa mbeũ iria mũhaandĩte mĩgũnda, nacio irio iria ikoima mĩgũnda ĩyo igaakorwo irĩ njega na ikaingĩha. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ‎‎‎ngʼombe cianyu ikaarĩithagio kũndũ kũrĩ ũrĩithio mwariĩ mũno.

Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

24 Ndegwa na ndigiri iria ikaarĩmaga mĩgũnda ikaarĩĩaga mahuti mathuuranĩre na irio huhe, ciaraganĩtio na hũũma na iciko cia tĩĩri.

The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

25 Mũthenya ũcio gũkooraganwo mũno, rĩrĩa mĩthiringo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ ĩkaamomoka, tũrũũĩ nĩtũgaatherera kuuma kĩrĩma-inĩ o gĩothe kĩraihu na karĩma o gothe gatũũgĩru.

And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

26 Naguo mweri ũkaara ta riũa, na ũtheri wa riũa ũnenehio maita mũgwanja, ũhaane ta ũtheri wa mĩthenya mũgwanja mĩgima, rĩrĩa Jehova akooha nguraro cia andũ ake na amahonie ironda iria aamatiihirie.

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

27 Atĩrĩrĩ, Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova rĩrooka riumĩte kũraya, rĩrĩ na marakara mahiũ na matu mathimbu ma ndogo; nacio iromo ciake ciyũrĩtwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ, na rũrĩmĩ rwake nĩ mwaki ũniinanaga.

Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

28 Mĩhũmũ yake nĩ ta rũũĩ rũratherera na hinya rũkambata rũgakinya o nginya ngingo. Athũngũthagia ndũrĩrĩ gĩcungi-inĩ kĩa mwanangĩko; ekagĩra andũ matamu kanua nĩgeetha amahĩtithie.

And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

29 Na inyuĩ nĩmũkaina, ta ũrĩa mũinaga ũtukũ ũrĩa mũkũngũyagĩra gĩathĩ kĩrĩa kĩamũre; nacio ngoro cianyu nĩigakena ta ũrĩa andũ makenaga makĩambata kĩrĩma kĩa Jehova makĩhuhaga mĩtũrirũ, o ũcio Rwaro-rwa-Ihiga rwa Isiraeli.

Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.

30 Jehova nĩagatũma mũgambo wake ũrĩ riiri ũiguuo nĩ andũ, na nĩagatũma mone guoko gwake gũgĩikũrũka, arĩ na marakara maingĩ na mwaki wa kũniinana, hamwe na mbura ya marurumĩ, na kĩhuhũkanio, na mbura ya mbembe.

And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

31 Mũgambo wa Jehova nĩũgathethera Ashuri; nĩakamagũtha na rũthanju rwake, amaniine magũe.

For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

32 Igũtha o rĩothe rĩrĩa Jehova akaamagũtha na rũthanju rwake rwa kũherithania-rĩ, rĩkaahaana ta rwĩmbo rũrainwo na tũhembe na inanda cia mũgeeto, akĩrũa mbaara nao ategũtigithĩria kũmahũũra na guoko gwake.

And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

33 Tofeti gũtũũrĩĩte kũhaarĩirio; gũthondeketwo nĩ ũndũ wa mũthamaki. Irima rĩakuo rĩa mwaki nĩirikie na rĩkaaramio, narĩo rĩrĩ na mwaki mũingĩ na ngũ nyingĩ, nayo mĩhũmũ ya Jehova nĩyo ĩraakia mwaki ũcio, ĩhaana ta rũũĩ rwa ũbiriti.

For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
