< Isaia 45 >
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Jehova areera Kurusu, ũrĩa wake mũitĩrĩrie maguta, o ũcio niĩ nyitĩte guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo nĩguo ndoorie ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ mbere yake, na njaũre athamaki indo ciao cia mbaara, nĩgeetha ndĩmũhingũrĩre mĩrango mbere yake, na nĩguo ndakanakore ihingo ihingĩtwo:
Adonai says to his anointed, to Cyrus [Sun], whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him, and strip kings of their armor; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
2 Nĩngagũtongoria na nĩngaragania irĩma; nĩngoinanga ihingo cia gĩcango, na ndinangie mĩgĩĩko ya kĩgera.
“I will go before you, and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces, and cut apart the bars of iron.
3 Nĩngakũhe igĩĩna iria ihithĩtwo nduma-inĩ, ngũhe ũtonga ũrĩa mũhithe, nĩguo ũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa ũgwĩtĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Adonai, who call you by your name, even the God of Israel [God prevails].
4 Nĩngwĩtĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩaku, nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yakwa Jakubu, o na nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli ũcio niĩ ndĩthuurĩire, na ngakũhe rĩĩtwa rĩa gĩtĩĩo, o na gũtuĩka wee ndũnjũũĩ.
For Jacob [Supplanter] my servant’s sake, and Israel [God prevails] my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.
5 Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ; tiga niĩ gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ. Nĩndĩrĩkuongagĩrĩra hinya, o na gũtuĩka wee ndũnjũũĩ,
I am Adonai, and there is no one else. Besides me, there are no elohim ·gods, judges·. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me;
6 nĩgeetha kuuma irathĩro rĩa riũa nginya ithũĩro rĩarĩo, andũ mamenye atĩ gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ.
that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am Adonai, and there is no one else.
7 Nĩ niĩ ndũmaga kũgĩe ũtheri, o na ngatũma kũgĩe nduma, nĩ niĩ ndehaga ũgaacĩru na ngatũma kũgĩe mwanangĩko; Nĩ niĩ, Jehova, ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio mothe.
I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Adonai, who does all these things.
8 “Atĩrĩrĩ inyuĩ matu ma igũrũ, urĩriai thĩ ũthingu; o na inyuĩ matu ma mbura itĩrĩriai thĩ ũthingu. Thĩ nayo nĩyathamie kanua, naguo ũhonokio nĩũkunũke, ũmere, ũkũranĩre na ũthingu. Niĩ Jehova-rĩ, nĩ niĩ ndũmĩte igĩe kuo.
Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce yesha' ·salvation·, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Adonai, have created it.
9 “Ũrĩa ũgianaga na Mũmũũmbi, kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Ũcio ahaana o ta rũgĩo thĩinĩ wa ngĩĩo iria irĩ thĩ. Rĩũmba rĩahota kũũria ũrĩa ũmbaga indo narĩo atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu ũromba?’ O na kana wĩra waku no uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ndarĩ na moko’?
Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands?’
10 Hĩ, kaĩ ũrĩa ũragia ithe atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu wagĩire?’ kana akooria nyina atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ kĩu waciara?’ Kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ!
Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘To what have you given birth?’”
11 “Jehova, Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, na Mũũmbi wake, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ maũndũ marĩa magooka-rĩ, anga no mũkĩnjũũrie ũhoro wa ciana ciakwa, kana mũnjathĩre wĩra wa moko makwa?
Adonai, the haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails], and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you enjoin me concerning the work of my hands!
12 Nĩ niĩ ndombire thĩ, na ngĩũmba andũ arĩa marĩ kuo. Moko makwa nĩmo maatambũrũkirie kũu igũrũ, na ngĩatha mbũtũ cia igũrũ igĩe ho.
I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and I have enjoined all their army.
13 Nĩngarahũra Kurusu nĩ ũndũ wa ũthingu wakwa: Nĩngatũma mĩthiĩre yake ĩrũngĩrĩre. We nĩagaaka itũũra rĩakwa rĩrĩa inene rĩngĩ, na ohorithie andũ akwa arĩa matahĩtwo, no rĩrĩ, matikarutĩrwo kĩndũ gĩa kũmakũũra kana marutĩrwo kĩheo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.”
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies].
14 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Maciaro ma bũrũri wa Misiri, na indo cia wonjorithia cia Kushi, o na andũ acio araihu a Sabea, nĩmagooka kũrĩ we matuĩke aku; nĩmagakuuma thuutha, na moke kũrĩ we mohetwo na mĩnyororo. Nĩmagakũinamĩrĩra, magũthaithe, makwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ Mũrungu arĩ hamwe nawe, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga we; ti-itherũ gũtirĩ ngai ĩngĩ.’”
Adonai says: “The labor of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains; and they will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other Elohim ·Deity, Judge·.
15 Ti-itherũ wee ũrĩ Mũrungu ũrĩa ũikaraga ehithĩte, Wee Ngai na Mũhonokia wa Isiraeli.
Most certainly you are a God who hidden yourself, God of Israel [God prevails], the One who saves.’”
16 Arĩa othe mathondekaga mĩhianano ya kũhooywo nĩmagaconorithio na manyararithio; makoimagara mathiĩ manyararithio othe hamwe.
They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
17 No rĩrĩ, Isiraeli nĩakahonokio nĩ Jehova na ũhonokio wake ũrĩa ũtũũraga tene na tene; wee ndũgaconorithio kana ũnyararithio nginya tene na tene.
Israel [God prevails] will be saved by Adonai with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
18 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ũcio wombire igũrũ, o we Ngai, o ũcio wombire thĩ na akĩmĩthondeka, agĩcooka akĩmĩrũmia wega; na ndaamĩũmbire ĩtũũre ĩrĩ ũtheri, no aamĩũmbire ĩtũũragwo nĩ andũ; we ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ.
For Adonai who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am Adonai; and there is no other.
19 Ndirĩ ndaaria na hitho, ndĩ handũ bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩ nduma; ndirĩ ndeera njiaro cia Jakubu atĩrĩ, ‘Nongoriai o ũguo tũhũ.’ Niĩ Jehova, njaragia ũhoro wa ma; nyumbũraga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire.
I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob [Supplanter], ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Adonai, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
20 “Cookanĩrĩrai hamwe, mũũke; ũnganai, inyuĩ arĩa mũũrĩte kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ. Kwaga ũmenyi-rĩ, nĩ andũ arĩa makuuaga mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ya mĩtĩ, na makahooya ngai itangĩhota kũmahonokia.
“Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a deity that can’t save.
21 Umbũrai ũhoro wa ũrĩa gũgaikara, na mũũheane, na andũ marekwo maciire marĩ hamwe. Nũũ waheanire ũhoro ũyũ kuuma o tene? Ningĩ nũũ waumbũrĩte matukũ-inĩ macio ma tene mũno? Githĩ ti niĩ, niĩ Jehova? Gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ tiga niĩ, Mũrungu mũthingu na Mũhonokia; ti-itherũ gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.
Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has sh'ma ·heard obeyed, declared· this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Adonai? There is no other Elohim ·Deity, Judge· besides me, a just God and able to save; There is no one besides me.
22 “Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ ituri ciothe cia thĩ, njookererai mũhonokio, nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩ niĩ Mũrungu, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.
“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
23 Nĩndĩhĩtĩte ngĩĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa niĩ mwene, naguo ũhoro ũkoima kanua gakwa na kĩhooto, naguo ndũkagarũrũka o na atĩa: Maru mothe nĩmagaturio mbere yakwa; nacio nĩmĩ ciothe nĩcikeehĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear
24 Nĩmakaaria ũhoro wakwa, moige atĩrĩ, ‘Ũthingu na hinya cionekaga harĩ Jehova o we wiki.’” Andũ arĩa othe maarakarire makĩmũũkĩrĩra, nĩmagooka harĩ we maconorithio.
about me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Adonai.’” Even to him shall men come; and all those who raged against him shall be disappointed.
25 No njiaro ciothe cia Isiraeli nĩikoonekaga irĩ na ũthingu nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova, na nĩigakena mũno.
All the offspring of Israel [God prevails] will be justified in Adonai, and will rejoice!
