< 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!
Draw near, you nations; and listen, you princes; let the earth hear, and they that are in it; the world, and the people that are therein.
2 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩarakarĩire ndũrĩrĩ ciothe; mangʼũrĩ make marĩ kũrĩ mbũtũ ciao ciothe cia ita. Nĩagaciniina ithire biũ, nĩagacineana ciũragwo.
For the wrath of the Lord is upon all nations, and [his] anger upon the number of them, to destroy them, and give them up 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.
And their slain shall be cast forth, and their corpses; and their [ill] savor shall come up, and the mountains shall be made wet 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.
And all the powers of the heavens shall melt, and the sky shall be rolled up like a scroll: and all the stars shall fall like leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a 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.
My sword has been made drunk in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and with judgment upon the people doomed 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 filled with blood, it is glutted with fat, with the blood of goats and lambs, and with the fat of goats and rams: for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bosor, and a great slaughter in Idumea.
7 Nacio mbogo nĩikooraganĩrio hamwe, o na tũtegwa na ndegwa iria nene. Bũrũri wao nĩũgaacagacio nĩ thakame, naruo rũkũngũ rũrindwo nĩ maguta.
And the mighty ones shall fall with them, and the rams and the bulls; and the land shall be soaked with blood, and shall be filled with their fat.
8 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova arĩ na mũthenya wa kwĩrĩhĩria, arĩ na mwaka wa kũherithania, nĩguo arũĩrĩre kĩhooto gĩa Zayuni.
For it is the day of judgment of the Lord, and the year of the recompence of Sion in judgment.
9 Tũrũũĩ twa Edomu tũkaagarũrwo tũtuĩke rami, naruo rũkũngũ rwakuo rũtuĩke mwaki wa ũbiriti; naguo bũrũri wake ũtuĩke o ta rami ĩgwakana mwaki!
And her valleys shall be turned into pitch, and her land into sulphur; and her land shall be as pitch burning night and day;
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.
and it shall never be quenched, and her smoke shall go up: it shall be made desolate throughout her generations,
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.
and for a long time birds and hedgehogs, and ibises and ravens shall dwell in it: and the measuring line of desolation shall be cast over it, and satyrs shall dwell in it.
12 Gũtigakorwo kĩndũ andũ akuo arĩa marĩ igweta mangĩĩta ũthamaki, ariũ a mũthamaki a kũu othe nĩmagathira.
Her princes shall be no more; for her kings and her great men shall be destroyed.
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.
And thorns shall spring up in their cities, and in her strong holds: and they shall be habitations of monsters, and a court of ostriches.
14 Nyamũ cia werũ-inĩ nĩigacemania na hiti, nacio mbũri cia gĩthaka nĩikananĩria; kũu nĩkuo nyamũ cia ũtukũ igaakomaga, na ciĩyonere gwa kũhurũka.
And devils shall meet with satyrs, and they shall cry one to the other: there shall satyrs rest, having found for themselves [a place of] rest.
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 has the hedgehog made its nest, and the earth has safely preserved its young: there have the deer met, and seen one another's faces.
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.
They passed by in [full] number, and not one of them perished: they sought not one another; for the Lord commanded them, and his Spirit gathered them.
17 Nĩwe ũcigayagĩra igai rĩacio; guoko gwake gũciheaga kĩrĩa acithimĩire. Nĩikegwatĩra igai rĩu rĩtuĩke rĩacio nginya tene, na itũũre kuo nginya njiarwa na njiarwa.
And he shall cast lots for them, and his hand has portioned out [their] pasture, [saying], You shall inherit [the land] for ever: they shall rest on it [through] all generations.
