Isaia 46
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, Beli nĩĩinamĩrĩire, nayo Nebo ĩkahocerera; mĩhianano yacio ya kũhooywo ĩkuuagwo nĩ nyamũ cia mũtitũ o na ngʼombe. Mĩhianano ĩyo mĩacũhie ĩkuuagwo kũndũ na kũndũ nĩĩtuĩkĩte mĩrigo mĩritũ, mĩrigo ya kũnogia nyamũ iria imĩkuuaga.
Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
2 Nyamũ icio na ngai icio cia kũhooywo irainamĩrĩra hamwe; ciothe ikaremwo nĩkũhonokia mĩhianano ĩyo ĩkuuĩtwo, nacio nyene igatahwo igatwarwo ũkombo-inĩ.
They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
3 “Atĩrĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩriai, inyuĩ nyũmba ya Jakubu, inyuothe matigari ma nyũmba ya Isiraeli, o inyuĩ arĩa ndũire nditikĩte kuuma rĩrĩa mwarĩ nda cia manyina manyu, na ngatũũra ndĩmũkuuĩte kuuma rĩrĩa mwaciarirwo.
Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
4 O na ũkũrũ-inĩ wanyu, no niĩ, o na rĩrĩa mũgaakorwo mũrĩ na mbuĩ, niĩ nĩ niĩ ngũmũtũũria muoyo. Nĩ niĩ ndaamũũmbire, na nĩ niĩ ngũtũũra ndĩmũkuuaga, ĩĩ ti-itherũ nĩ niĩ ngũmũtũũria muoyo na ndĩmũhonokagie.
Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
5 “Niĩ-rĩ, mũngĩngerekania na ũ kana nũũ mũngĩnjiganania nake? Mũngĩĩhaanania na ũ nĩguo tũgerekanio nake?
To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
6 Andũ amwe maitũrũraga thahabu kuuma mondo-inĩ ciao, na magathima betha na ratiri; magacooka makaandĩka mũturi wa thahabu amĩthondeke ĩtuĩke mũhianano wa ngai yao, nao magacooka makamĩinamĩrĩra, makamĩhooya.
You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
7 Mũhianano ũcio maũigagĩrĩra ciande ciao, makaũkuua; makaũiga handũ haguo, ũgaikara ũrũgamĩte o hau. No ndũngĩhota kuuma hau wĩtware. O na mũndũ angĩũkaĩra-rĩ, ndũngĩcookia, kana ũhonokie mũndũ ũcio kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ make.
They carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
8 “Inyuĩ aremi aya, ririkanai ũndũ ũyũ, na mũwĩkĩre meciiria-inĩ manyu, mũũige ngoro-inĩ.
Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
9 Ririkanai maũndũ marĩa mahĩtũkĩte, marĩa ma tene; niĩ nĩ niĩ Mũrungu, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ; niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ ũhaana ta niĩ.
Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
10 Niĩ menyithanagia maũndũ marĩa mageekĩka marigĩrĩrio-inĩ kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria, namo maũndũ marĩa magooka ngamamenyithania kuuma o tene. Ngoiga atĩrĩ: Ũrĩa nduĩte nĩũkahinga, namo maũndũ mothe marĩa nyendaga gwĩka-rĩ, no mo ngeeka.
From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
11 Nĩngeeta nyoni ndĩa nyama kuuma mwena wa irathĩro; nĩngeeta mũndũ wa kũhingia maũndũ marĩa nduĩte gwĩka kuuma bũrũri wa kũraya. Ũrĩa njugĩte nĩngahingia; ũndũ ũrĩa ndĩciirĩtie gwĩka nĩngawĩka.
I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
12 Ta thikĩrĩriai, inyuĩ andũ a ngoro nyũmũ, o inyuĩ mũraihanĩrĩirie na ũhoro wa ũthingu.
Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
13 Nĩngũreharehe ũthingu wakwa hakuhĩ, ndũrĩ kũraya; o naguo ũhonokio wakwa ũgũũka o narua. Ũhoro wa ũhonokio wakwa ngũwathĩrĩra Zayuni, na njathĩrĩre riiri wakwa kũrĩ Isiraeli.
I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
