< Isaia 32 >

1 Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩgũkagĩa mũthamaki wa gũthamaka na ũthingu, na kũgĩe na anene a gwathana na kĩhooto.
Behold a king shall reign in justice, and princes shell rule in judgment.
2 O mũndũ agaatuĩka ta handũ ha kwĩgitia rũhuho, na ha kwĩyũa mbura ya kĩhuhũkanio, o na atuĩke ta tũrũũĩ twa maaĩ tũgũtherera werũ-inĩ, o na ta kĩĩruru kĩa rwaro rũnene rwa ihiga bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩ na nyoota.
And a man shall be as when one is hid from the wind, and hideth himself from a storm, as rivers of waters in drought, and the shadow of a rock that standeth out in a desert land.
3 Namo maitho ma andũ arĩa moonaga matikaahingwo mage kuona, namo matũ ma arĩa maiguaga nĩmagathikĩrĩria.
The eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken diligently.
4 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũhĩkaga gwĩka maũndũ ateciirĩtie wega, nĩakamenya maũndũ na ataũkĩrwo nĩmo, naruo rũrĩmĩ rũrĩa rũtondoiraga nĩrũkaaria o wega.
And the heart of fools shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers shall speak readily and plain.
5 Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ mũndũ mũkĩĩgu agaacooka kũgĩa igweta, kana kĩmaramari gĩcooke gũtĩĩo mũno.
The fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great:
6 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ mũkĩĩgu aragia ũrimũ, na meciiria make mathugundaga maũndũ mooru: Mũndũ ũcio ekaga maũndũ matarĩ ma ũ-ngai, na akamemerekia maũndũ ma gũcambia Jehova; arĩa ahũtu amatigaga matarĩ na gĩa kũrĩa, na arĩa anyootu akamaima maaĩ ma kũnyua.
For the fool will speak foolish things, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and speak to the Lord deceitfully, and to make empty the soul of the hungry, and take away drink from the thirsty.
7 Mĩthiĩre ya mũndũ kĩmaramari no ya waganu, athugundaga o maũndũ mooru ma kũniinithia andũ arĩa athĩĩni na ũhoro wa maheeni, o na rĩrĩa mathaithana ma mũbatari marĩ ma kĩhooto.
The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment.
8 No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa mũtaana eciiragia o maũndũ ma ũtugi, na maũndũ macio ma ũtugi nĩmo egũtũũra ekaga.
But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shall stand above the rulers.
9 Atĩrĩrĩ inyuĩ andũ-a-nja aya mũtarĩ ũndũ ũmũthĩĩnagia, arahũkai mũthikĩrĩrie mũgambo wakwa; o na inyuĩ airĩtu aya mũtarĩ ũndũ mwĩtigagĩra, ta iguai ũrĩa nguuga!
Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice: ye confident daughters, give ear to my speech.
10 Mwaka na matukũ matarĩ maingĩ maathira-rĩ, inyuĩ mũtarĩ ũndũ mwĩtigagĩra, nĩmũkainaina; nĩgũkorwo gũtigakorwo na magetha ma thabibũ, o na kana gũkorwo na magetha mangĩ.
For after days and a year, you that are confident shall be troubled: for the vintage is at an end, the gathering shall come no more.
11 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ-a-nja aya mũtarĩ ũndũ ũmũthĩĩnagia, inainai nĩ kũmaka; inainai inyuĩ airĩtu aya mũtarĩ ũndũ mwĩtigagĩra! Rutai nguo cianyu mũtigwo njaga, mũcooke mwĩohe makũnia njohero.
Be astonished, ye rich women, be troubled, ye confident ones: strip yen, and be confounded, gird your loins.
12 Mwĩhũũrei ithũri, mũrĩrĩre mĩgũnda yanyu ĩrĩa mĩega, o na mĩthabibũ ĩrĩa ĩciaraga mũno,
Mourn for your breasts, for the delightful country, for the fruitful vineyard.
13 na mũrĩrĩre bũrũri wa andũ akwa, ũcio ũmerete mĩigua na congʼe: ĩĩ ti-itherũ, cakaĩrai nyũmba ciothe cia ikeno, na itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩrĩ na ndũhiũ cia arĩĩu.
Upon the land of my people shall thorns and briers come up: how much more upon all the houses of joy, of the city that rejoiced?
14 Nĩgũkorwo ciĩgitĩro iria nũmu nĩigatiganĩrio, narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩiyũrĩte andũ rĩtigwo ũtheri; o na nyũmba ya mũthamaki na mũthiringo mũraihu igaatuĩka bũrũri ũteanĩirio nginya tene, gũtuĩke bũrũri wa gũtũũhagwo nĩ ndigiri, na ũrĩithio wa ndũũru cia mbũri,
For the house is forsaken, the multitude of the city is left, darkness and obscurity are come upon its dens for ever. A joy of wild asses, the pastures of flocks,
15 nginya rĩrĩa tũgaitĩrĩrio Roho kuuma igũrũ, naguo werũ ũgarũrwo ũtuĩke mũgũnda mũnoru, na mũgũnda ũcio mũnoru ũhaane ta mũtitũ.
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high: and the desert shall be as a charmel, and charmel shall be counted for a forest.
16 Ciira ũgaatũũra ũtuagwo na kĩhooto kũu werũ-inĩ, naguo ũthingu ũtũũre kũu mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio mũnoru.
And judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and justice shall sit in charmel.
17 Maciaro ma ũthingu ũcio nĩ thayũ; naguo uumithio wa ũthingu ũgaakorwo ũrĩ ũhooreri na kwĩhoka Ngai nginya tene.
And the work of justice shall be peace, and the service of justice quietness, and security for ever.
18 Andũ akwa magaatũũraga ciikaro cia thayũ, matũũre kũndũ gũtarĩ ũgwati, na mahurũkage kũndũ gũtarĩ na thĩĩna.
And my people shall sit in the beauty of peace, and in the tabernacles of confidence, and in wealthy rest.
19 O na mbura ya mbembe ĩngĩgũithia mĩtĩ ya mũtitũ thĩ, narĩo itũũra inene rĩaraganio biũ-rĩ,
But hail shall be in the descent of the forest, and the city shall be made very low.
20 kaĩ inyuĩ nĩmũkarathimwo-ĩ, mũhaandage mbegũ cianyu gũkuhĩ na tũrũũĩ, nacio ngʼombe na ndigiri cianyu irĩithagio kũndũ guothe.
Blessed are ye that sow upon all waters, sending thither the foot of the ox and the ass.
