< Isaia 42 >

1 “Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno nĩyo ndungata yakwa, ĩrĩa ndiiragĩrĩra, ĩrĩa ndĩthuurĩire na nĩyo ĩkenagia ngoro yakwa; nĩngamĩitĩrĩria Roho wakwa nayo nĩĩkarehithĩria ndũrĩrĩ ciira wa kĩhooto.
Here! servant my [whom] I support him chosen one my [whom] it is pleased with self my I have put spirit my on him justice to the nations he will bring forth.
2 Ndĩkaanĩrĩra kana ĩgũũthũke, kana mũgambo wayo ũiguuo kũu njĩra-inĩ.
Not he will cry out and not he will lift up and not he will make heard in the street voice his.
3 Kamũrangi kagondoku ndĩgakoina, kana ĩhorie rũtambĩ rwa ũguta rũrĩa rũratooga. Na nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku nĩĩgatuanĩra ciira na kĩhooto;
A reed crushed not he will break and a wick dim not he will extinguish it to faithfulness he will bring forth justice.
4 ndĩgaatithia kana ĩkue ngoro nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ĩgaatũma gũkũ thĩ kũgĩe ciira wa kĩhooto. Andũ arĩa matũũraga icigĩrĩra-inĩ makehoka watho wayo.”
Not he will grow dim and not he will be crushed until he will establish on the earth justice and for instruction his islands they will wait.
5 Jehova, Mũrungu witũ, ũrĩa wombire igũrũ na akĩrĩtambũrũkia, o we ũrĩa waraganirie thĩ na indo iria ciothe ciumaga kuo, na nĩwe ũheaga andũ a thĩ mĩhũmũ, na akahe arĩa maikaraga kuo muoyo, ekuuga atĩrĩ:
Thus he says God - Yahweh [who] created the heavens and [who] stretched out them [who] spread out the earth and produce its [who] gives breath to the people on it and spirit to [those who] walk on it.
6 “Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ngwĩtĩte na njĩra ya ũthingu; nĩngakũnyiita guoko. Nĩngakũmenyagĩrĩra na ngũheane ũtuĩke wa kũrĩkanĩra kĩrĩkanĩro na andũ, o na ũtuĩke ũtheri wa gũtherera andũ a Ndũrĩrĩ,
I Yahweh I have called you in righteousness and I may take hold on hand your and I may watch over you and I may make you a covenant of [the] people a light of [the] nations.
7 na nĩguo ũhingũrage atumumu maitho, na wohorithagie arĩa mohetwo ũmarute moime njeera, o nao arĩa maikarĩte nduma-inĩ ũmarekererie, moime korokoro-inĩ.
To open eyes blind to bring out from prison prisoner[s] from a house of imprisonment [those who] dwell of darkness.
8 “Nĩ niĩ Jehova; rĩu nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩakwa! Naguo riiri wakwa ndikaũhe mũndũ ũngĩ, kana njĩtĩkĩre mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ĩheo ũgooci wakwa.
I [am] Yahweh that [is] name my and glory my to another not I will give and praise my to images.
9 Atĩrĩrĩ, maũndũ maarathirwo tene nĩmahingĩtio, na rĩu nĩ maũndũ merũ ngwanĩrĩra; na maũndũ macio matanakinya-rĩ, nĩndĩmũmenyithĩtie ũhoro wamo.”
The former [things] there! they have come and new [things] I [am] about to tell before they will spring up I will cause to hear [them] you.
10 Inĩrai Jehova rwĩmbo rwerũ, na mũmũgooce kuuma ituri-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ, inyuĩ mũikũrũkaga kũu iria-inĩ, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ warĩo, o na inyuĩ icigĩrĩra, na arĩa othe matũũraga thĩinĩ wacio.
Sing to Yahweh a song new praise his from [the] end of the earth O [those who] go down the sea and what fills it O islands and inhabitants their.
11 Werũ na matũũra makuo nĩmanĩrĩre na mĩgambo; o na tũtũũra tũrĩa Kedari atũũraga nĩtũkũngũĩre. Andũ a Sela nĩmarekwo maine rwĩmbo nĩ gũkena; o na mũreke maanĩrĩre marĩ kũu irĩma-igũrũ.
Let them lift up [the] wilderness and cities its [the] villages [where] it dwells Kedar let them shout for joy [the] inhabitants of Sela from [the] top of [the] mountains let them cry aloud.
12 Nĩmarekwo makumie Jehova, na maanĩrĩre ũgooci wake kũu icigĩrĩra-inĩ.
Let them give to Yahweh glory and praise his in the islands let them declare.
13 Jehova nĩakoimagara athiĩ o ta njamba ĩrĩ hinya, na aarahũre kĩyo gĩake ta njamba ya ita; akaanĩrĩra na oigĩrĩrie mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara, na nĩagatooria thũ ciake.
Yahweh like warrior he will go forth like a man of war he will stir up zeal he will raise a war-cry also he will raise a battle-shout over enemies his he will prevail.
14 “Ihinda iraaya ngoretwo ngirĩte ki, ngegirĩrĩria gwĩka ũndũ. No rĩu-rĩ, ndĩrakaya ta mũtumia ũrarũmwo, ngateeha na ngahũma.
I have been silent from a long time I have kept silent I have restrained myself like [woman] giving birth I groan I puff and I may pant together.
15 Nĩngananga irĩma na tũrĩma, na ndũme mĩmera ĩrĩa yothe ĩkũraga kuo yũme; nĩngatũma njũũĩ ituĩke icigĩrĩra na ndũme tũria tũhwe.
I will lay waste mountains and hills and all vegetation their I will dry up and I will make rivers islands and pools I will dry up.
16 Nao atumumu nĩngamagereria njĩra iria matooĩ, na ndĩmatoongorerie tũcĩra tũrĩa mataahũthĩrĩte gũthiĩra; nayo nduma nĩngamĩgarũra ĩtuĩke ũtheri mbere yao, nakuo kũndũ kũrĩa gũtarĩ kũigananu ndĩkwaraganie. Maũndũ macio nĩmo ngeeka, na ndikamatiganĩria.
And I will lead blind [people] by a way [which] not they have known by paths [which] not they have known I will guide them I will make [the] dark place before them light and rough places level ground these [are] the things [which] I will do them and not I will abandon them.
17 No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa mehokete mĩhianano ya kũhooywo, o acio meraga mĩhianano ya gwacũhio atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ ngai ciitũ,’ nĩmakahũndũrwo na nĩmagaconorithio kũna.
They will be turned back backwards they will be ashamed shame those [who] trust in idol those [who] say to a molten image you [are] god our.
18 “Inyuĩ mũtaiguaga, ta iguai, na inyuĩ atumumu-rĩ, ta cũthĩrĩriai, nĩguo muone!
O deaf [people] listen and O blind [people] look to see.
19 Nũũ mũtumumu tiga o ndungata yakwa, o na kana nũũ ũtaiguaga ta mũtũmwo ũcio ndũmĩte? Nũũ mũtumumu ta ũrĩa wĩheanĩte biũ kũrĩ niĩ, na nũũ mũtumumu ta ndungata ya Jehova?
Who? [is] blind that except servant my and deaf like messenger my [whom] I will send who? [is] blind like [one] in a covenant and blind like [the] servant of Yahweh.
20 Nĩwonete maũndũ maingĩ, no ndũmarũmbũyagia; matũ maku nĩmahingũrĩtwo, no ndũrĩ ũndũ ũiguaga.”
(You have seen *Q(K)*) many [things] and not you keep [them] they are open ears and not he listens.
21 Jehova nĩonire arĩ wega atũũgĩrie watho wake na ũgĩe riiri nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wake.
Yahweh he was pleased for [the] sake of righteousness his he will make great [the] law so he may make [it] glorious.
22 No rĩrĩ, andũ aya nĩmatahĩtwo na magatunywo indo, othe manyiitĩtwo na mĩtego marima-inĩ, o na makahithwo njeera thĩinĩ. Matuĩkĩte ta nyamũ cia kũguĩmwo, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩmahonokia; maikarĩte marĩ atahe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩmacookio kwao.”
And it [is] a people despoiled and plundered they are trapped in holes all of them and in houses of imprisonment they are hidden they have become spoil and there not [is] a deliverer plunder and there not [is one who] says bring [it] back.
23 Nũũ wanyu ũgũthikĩrĩria ũhoro ũyũ, kana aũrũmbũiye mahinda marĩa magooka?
Who? among you will he give ear to this will he pay attention? and he may listen? to afterwards.
24 Nũũ waneanire Jakubu atuĩke wa gũtahwo, na nũũ waneanire Isiraeli kũrĩ atunyani? Githĩ ti Jehova, o ũrĩa ithuĩ twĩhĩirie? Nĩgũkorwo andũ nĩmaregire gũthiĩ na njĩra ciake; nĩmagire gwathĩkĩra watho wake.
Who? has he given (to plunder *Q(K)*) Jacob and Israel to despoilers ¿ not [was it] Yahweh whom we have sinned to him and not they were willing in ways his to walk and not they listened to law his.
25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩamaitĩrĩirie marakara make mahiũ, na akĩmatharĩkĩra na mbaara. Maarigiicĩirio nĩ marakara mahaana ta nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki mĩena yothe, no-o matiigana kũmenya. Marakara macio makĩmacina, no matiigana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ ciao.
And he poured out on it rage anger his and [the] fierceness of battle and it set ablaze it from round about and not it knew and it burned it and not it put [it] on heart.
