< Isaia 34 >
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ ndũrĩrĩ, ũkai hakuhĩ mũthikĩrĩrie; o na inyuĩ andũ a mabũrũri tegai matũ mũigue! Thĩ o nayo nĩĩigue, o na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ kuo, o hamwe na mabũrũri, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kiumaga kuo!
Come near, O nations, to listen; pay attention, O peoples. Let the earth hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that springs from it.
2 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩarakarĩire ndũrĩrĩ ciothe; mangʼũrĩ make marĩ kũrĩ mbũtũ ciao ciothe cia ita. Nĩagaciniina ithire biũ, nĩagacineana ciũragwo.
The LORD is angry with all the nations and furious with all their armies. He will devote them to destruction; He will give them over to slaughter.
3 Andũ arĩa moragĩtwo magaateo o ro ũguo, na mũnungo wa ciimba ciao wambate na igũrũ; nacio irĩma ihaane ta irindĩtwo nĩ thakame yao.
Their slain will be left unburied, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood.
4 Njata ciothe cia igũrũ nĩigathira, narĩo igũrũ rĩkũnjwo o ta ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo; nayo mbũtũ ya njata cia matu-inĩ ĩgwe o ta ũrĩa mathangũ ma mũthabibũ maahooha magũũaga, na o ta ũrĩa ngũyũ ciahooha igũũaga kuuma mũkũyũ-inĩ.
All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.
5 Rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora rũnyuĩte rũkanyootoka rũrĩ o kũu matu-inĩ; ta rora, rũraikũrũkĩra Edomu rũrĩ na ituĩro, o andũ acio niinĩte biũ.
When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, then it will come down upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
6 Rũhiũ rwa njora rwa Jehova rũiyũrĩtwo nĩ thakame, na rũkahumbĩrwo nĩ maguta: nĩ thakame ya tũtũrũme na ya mbũri, na maguta ma higo cia ndũrũme. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova arĩ na igongona kũu Bozara, na kũũragana kũnene kũu Edomu.
The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. It drips with fat— with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Nacio mbogo nĩikooraganĩrio hamwe, o na tũtegwa na ndegwa iria nene. Bũrũri wao nĩũgaacagacio nĩ thakame, naruo rũkũngũ rũrindwo nĩ maguta.
And the wild oxen will fall with them, the young bulls with the strong ones. Their land will be drenched with blood, and their soil will be soaked with fat.
8 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova arĩ na mũthenya wa kwĩrĩhĩria, arĩ na mwaka wa kũherithania, nĩguo arũĩrĩre kĩhooto gĩa Zayuni.
For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 Tũrũũĩ twa Edomu tũkaagarũrwo tũtuĩke rami, naruo rũkũngũ rwakuo rũtuĩke mwaki wa ũbiriti; naguo bũrũri wake ũtuĩke o ta rami ĩgwakana mwaki!
Edom’s streams will be turned to tar, and her soil to sulfur; her land will become a blazing pitch.
10 Naguo mwaki ũcio ndũkahorio mũthenya na ũtukũ; ndogo yaguo ĩgaatũũra ĩtoogaga igũrũ nginya tene. Gũgaakira ihooru njiarwa nginya njiarwa, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaacooka gũtuĩkanĩria kuo rĩngĩ.
It will not be quenched—day or night. Its smoke will ascend forever. From generation to generation it will lie desolate; no one will ever again pass through it.
11 Ndundu ya werũ-inĩ na ndundu ĩrĩa ĩgambaga nĩikegwatĩra kũndũ kũu; nayo ndundu ĩrĩa nene na ihuru nĩkuo igaaka itara ciacio. Ngai nĩagathima Edomu na gĩthimi gĩa kĩrigiicano, na agũthime na kabirũ ka ihooru.
The desert owl and screech owl will possess it, and the great owl and raven will dwell in it. The LORD will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of chaos and a plumb line of destruction.
12 Gũtigakorwo kĩndũ andũ akuo arĩa marĩ igweta mangĩĩta ũthamaki, ariũ a mũthamaki a kũu othe nĩmagathira.
No nobles will be left to proclaim a king, and all her princes will come to nothing.
13 Mĩigua nĩĩkamerera nyũmba ciakuo cia ũthamaki iria njirigĩre, thabai na mĩtare ĩmere ciĩgitĩro-inĩ ciakuo cia hinya. Gũgaatuĩka ũtũũro wa mbwe, na ciikaro cia ndundu.
Her towers will be overgrown with thorns, her fortresses with thistles and briers. She will become a haunt for jackals, an abode for ostriches.
14 Nyamũ cia werũ-inĩ nĩigacemania na hiti, nacio mbũri cia gĩthaka nĩikananĩria; kũu nĩkuo nyamũ cia ũtukũ igaakomaga, na ciĩyonere gwa kũhurũka.
The desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another. There the night creature will settle and find her place of repose.
15 Ndundu nĩĩgaka gĩtara kũu, ĩrekagĩrie matumbĩ mayo kuo, nĩĩkamatũrĩkia na ĩrere njui ciayo rungu rwa mathagu mayo; ningĩ kũu nokuo hũngũ ikoongana igĩrĩ igĩrĩ, o njamba na nga yayo.
There the owl will make her nest; she will lay and hatch her eggs and gather her brood under her shadow. Even there the birds of prey will gather, each with its mate.
16 Atĩrĩrĩ, tuĩriai ũhoro ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩa Jehova, na mũrĩthome: Gũtirĩ nyamũ o na ĩmwe yacio ĩkaaga kuoneka kuo, na gũtirĩ njamba ĩkaaga nga yayo. Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kanua ka Jehova gaathanĩte ũguo, na Roho wake nĩwe ũgacicookanĩrĩria.
Search and read the scroll of the LORD: Not one of these will go missing, not one will lack her mate, because He has ordered it by His mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.
17 Nĩwe ũcigayagĩra igai rĩacio; guoko gwake gũciheaga kĩrĩa acithimĩire. Nĩikegwatĩra igai rĩu rĩtuĩke rĩacio nginya tene, na itũũre kuo nginya njiarwa na njiarwa.
He has allotted their portion; His hand has distributed it by measure. They will possess it forever; they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
