Isaia 5
1 Nĩngũinĩra mwendwa wakwa ũrĩa nyendete rwĩmbo, ndĩmũinĩre rwĩmbo rũkoniĩ mũgũnda wake wa mĩthabibũ: Mwendwa wakwa aarĩ na mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ kĩrĩma-inĩ handũ hanoru mũno.
Now will I sing to my beloued a song of my beloued to his vineyarde, My beloued had a vineyarde in a very fruitefull hill,
2 Akĩũthiũrũrũkĩria na mũtaro, na akĩũngania mahiga marĩa mothe maarĩ kuo akĩmate, agĩcooka akĩũhaanda mĩthabibũ ĩrĩa mĩega mũno. Nĩaakire mũthiringo mũraihu na igũrũ kũu thĩinĩ waguo, o na ningĩ akĩenja handũ ha kũhihagĩra thabibũ. Nake agĩeterera ũciare thabibũ njega, no rĩrĩ, waciarire thabibũ cia gĩthaka.
And hee hedged it, and gathered out the stones of it, and he planted it with the best plants, and hee builte a towre in the middes thereof, and made a wine presse therein: then hee looked that it should bring foorth grapes: but it brought foorth wilde grapes.
3 “Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ aya mũtũũraga Jerusalemu o na andũ a Juda, tũtuithaniei ciira, niĩ na mũgũnda wakwa wa mĩthabibũ.
Now therefore, O inhabitants of Ierusalem and men of Iudah, iudge, I pray you, betweene me, and my vineyarde.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũngĩ ingĩekire mũgũnda ũcio wakwa wa mĩthabibũ gũkĩra ũguo ndawĩkire? Waciarire thabibũ cia gĩthaka nĩkĩ, o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndetereire ũciare thabibũ njega?
What coulde I haue done any more to my vineyard that I haue not done vnto it? why haue I looked that it should bring foorth grapes, and it bringeth foorth wilde grapes?
5 Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngũmwĩra ũrĩa ngwĩka mũgũnda ũcio wakwa wa mĩthabibũ: Nĩngũwehereria rũgiri rwaguo, nĩguo wanangwo, njooke momore rũthingo rwaguo, nĩguo ũrangĩrĩrio.
And nowe I will tell you what I will do to my vineyarde: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten vp: I will breake the wall thereof, and it shall be troden downe:
6 Ndĩũtiganĩrie wanangĩke, ũtegũcehwo kana kũrĩmwo, naguo ũrĩmeraga congʼe na mĩigua. Ningĩ njathe matu matikanaurĩrie mbura.”
And I will laye it waste: it shall not be cut, nor digged, but briers, and thornes shall growe vp: I will also commande the cloudes that they raine no raine vpon it.
7 Mũgũnda wa mĩthabibũ wa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩguo nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nao andũ a Juda nĩo mũgũnda wake wa mĩthabibũ ũrĩa akenagĩra. Nake eethire ciira wa kĩhooto, akĩona o ũiti wa thakame; agĩcaria ũthingu, no akĩigua kĩrĩro kĩa mĩnyamaro.
Surely the vineyard of the Lord of hostes is the house of Israel, and the men of Iudah are his pleasant plant, and hee looked for iudgement, but beholde oppression: for righteousnesse, but beholde a crying.
8 Kaĩ, inyuĩ arĩa mũikaraga mũkĩĩongagĩrĩra nyũmba mũrĩ na haro-ĩ! O inyuĩ mũnyiitithanagia gĩthaka kĩmwe na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ gĩgatuĩka kĩmwe, nginya hakaaga handũ ha gũtigĩria andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩguo mũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ mũrĩ inyuiki.
Woe vnto them that ioyne house to house, and laye fielde to fielde, till there bee no place, that ye may be placed by your selues in the mids of the earth.
9 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe oigĩte atĩrĩ ngĩiguaga: “Ti-itherũ nyũmba iria nene nĩigakira ihooru, nacio nyũmba iria thaka ciage andũ a gũciikara.
This is in mine cares, saith the Lord of hostes. Surely many houses shall be desolate, euen great, and faire without inhabitant.
10 Mũgũnda wa ĩĩka ikũmi wa mĩthabibũ ũkaaruta bathi ĩmwe ya ndibei, nayo homeri ĩmwe ya mbegũ yume eba ĩmwe ya ngano.”
For ten acres of vines shall yelde one bath, and the seede of an homer shall yelde an ephah.
11 Kaĩ arĩa marokaga gũũkĩra rũciinĩ tene, makahangʼĩre njoohi marĩ na haaro-ĩ! o acio maikaraga thĩ ũtukũ gũgakũra, nginya makarĩĩo nĩ ndibei.
Wo vnto them, that rise vp early to follow drunkennes, and to them that continue vntill night, till the wine doe inflame them.
12 Maruga-inĩ mao makoragwo na inanda cia mũgeeto, na cia inubi na tũhembe, na mĩtũrirũ, o na ndibei, no matirũmbũyagia ciĩko cia Jehova, na makaagĩra wĩra wa moko make gĩtĩĩo.
And the harpe and viole, timbrel, and pipe, and wine are in their feastes: but they regard not the worke of the Lord, neither consider the worke of his handes.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ akwa nĩmagatahwo matwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga ũmenyo; andũ ao arĩa atĩĩku magaakua nĩ ngʼaragu, nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩao kĩhooteke nĩ nyoota.
Therefore my people is gone into captiuitie, because they had no knowledge, and the glorie thereof are men famished, and the multitude thereof is dried vp with thirst.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mbĩrĩra nĩĩnenehetie thuti nĩ ũndũ wao, na ĩgaathamia kanua kayo gatarĩ gĩturi; kũu nĩkuo gũkaaharũrũka andũ ao arĩa marĩ igweta na ikundi cia andũ, hamwe na andũ arĩa manyuuaga makanegena, o na arĩĩu. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore hell hath inlarged it selfe, and hath opened his mouth, without measure, and their glorie, and their multitude, and their pompe, and hee that reioyceth among them, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ nĩakaharũrũkio, nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ gĩconorithio, namo maitho ma arĩa etĩĩi maconorithio.
And man shalbe brought downe, and man shalbe humbled, euen the eyes of the proude shalbe humbled.
16 No Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩagatũũgĩrio nĩ ũndũ wa ciira wake wa kĩhooto, nake Mũrungu, o we ũcio mũtheru, nĩakeyonania nĩ mũtheru na ũndũ wa ũthingu wake.
And the Lord of hostes shalbe exalted in iudgement, and the holy God shalbe sanctified in iustice.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngʼondu ikaarĩĩaga ta irĩ ũrĩithio-inĩ wacio; natuo tũgondu tũkaarĩithagio kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩku gwa itonga.
Then shall the lambes feede after their maner, and the strangers shall eate the desolate places of the fat.
18 Kaĩ arĩa maguucagia mehia na mĩhĩndo ya maheeni marĩ na haaro-ĩ! o acio maguucagia waganu na mĩkanda ta ĩrĩa ĩguucagia ngaari cia ngʼombe,
Woe vnto them, that draw iniquitie with cordes of vanitie, and sinne, as with cart ropes:
19 o acio moigaga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩahiũhe oke, nĩahĩke wĩra wake nĩguo tũwone. Nĩũkuhĩrĩrie, mũbango wa Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli nĩũũke, nĩguo tũũmenye.”
Which say, Let him make speede: let him hasten his worke, that wee may see it: and let the counsell of the holy one of Israel draw neere and come, that we may knowe it.
20 Kaĩ arĩa metaga ũũru wega, naguo wega makawĩta ũũru marĩ na haaro-ĩ! o acio matuaga nduma nĩyo ũtheri, na ũtheri makaũtua nduma, na magatua kĩndũ kĩrũrũ nĩ kĩrĩ mũrĩo, nakĩo kĩndũ kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mũrĩo magagĩtua nĩ kĩrũrũ.
Woe vnto them that speake good of euill, and euill of good, which put darkenes for light, and light for darkenes, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for sowre.
21 Hĩ! Kaĩ arĩa meyonaga marĩ oogĩ maitho-inĩ mao, na makeyona marĩ na ũmenyi marĩ na haaro-ĩ!
Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.
22 Hĩ! Kaĩ andũ arĩa marĩ ngumo ya kũnyua ndibei, na njoorua cia kũriingia indo cia gũtũma andũ marĩĩo marĩ na haaro-ĩ!
Wo vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and to them that are strong to powre in strong drinke:
23 o arĩa marekagĩrĩria andũ arĩa mehĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa ihaki, no makarega gũtua ciira wa kĩhooto wa andũ arĩa matehĩtie.
Which iustifie the wicked for a rewarde, and take away the righteousnesse of the righteous from him.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o ta ũrĩa nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki icinaga itira cia mũgũnda, na ta ũrĩa nyeki nyũmũ ĩniinũkagio nĩ rũrĩrĩmbĩ rwa mwaki-rĩ, ũguo noguo mĩri yao ĩkaabutha, na kĩro kĩao kĩũmbũrwo o ta rũkũngũ; nĩgũkorwo nĩmaregete watho wa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, na makamena kiugo kĩa Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
Therefore as the flame of fire deuoureth the stubble, and as the chaffe is cosumed of the flame: so their roote shalbe as rottennesse, and their bud shall rise vp like dust, because they haue cast off the Lawe of the Lord of hostes, and contemned the word of the holy one of Israel.
25 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio marakara ma Jehova maakanĩte mookĩrĩre andũ ake; nake nĩatambũrũkĩtie guoko amagũthe magũe thĩ. Irĩma nacio igathingitha, nacio ciimba ciao ikaaraganio njĩra-inĩ ta mahuti. No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, marakara make matirĩ maraahũahũa, guoko gwake no gũtambũrũkĩtio o na rĩu.
Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and hee hath stretched out his hand vpon them, and hath smitten them that the mountaines did tremble: and their carkases were torne in the middes of the streetes, and for all this his wrath was not turned away, but his hande was stretched out still.
26 Nake ahaicĩtie bendera handũ igũrũ eete ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ kũraya, nao arĩa marĩ ituri cia thĩ ahuhaga biringi akĩmeeta. Nĩo aya mokĩte, matengʼerete na ihenya.
And he will lift vp a signe vnto the nations a farre, and wil hisse vnto them from the ende of the earth: and beholde, they shall come hastily with speede.
27 Gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao ũraanoga kana akahĩngwo, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũracũũnga kana agakoma; gũtirĩ ũraregeria mũcibi njohero, o na gũtirĩ rũrigi rwa kĩraatũ rũtuĩkĩte.
None shall faint nor fall among them: none shall slumber nor sleepe, neither shall the girdle of his loynes be loosed, nor the latchet of his shooes be broken:
28 Mĩguĩ yao nĩ mĩũgĩ, namo mota mao mothe nĩmageete; mahũngũ ma mbarathi ciao mahaana ta ihiga rĩa nyaigĩ, namo magũrũ ma ngaari ciao cia ita mathiiaga ta rũhuho.
Whose arrowes shall be sharpe, and all his bowes bent: his horse hoofes shall be thought like flint, and his wheeles like a whirlewinde.
29 Mũraramo wao nĩ ta wa mũrũũthi, nao mararamaga o ta njaũ cia mĩrũũthi; marurumaga makĩnyiita ũguĩmi wao, na makaũkuua na gũtirĩ ũngĩũteithũra.
His roaring shalbe like a lyon, and he shall roare like lyons whelpes: they shall roare, and lay holde of the praye: they shall take it away, and none shall deliuer it.
30 Mũthenya ũcio makaararama nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩa manyiitĩte, o ta ũrĩa iria rĩrurumaga rĩgĩikia ndiihũ. Na mũndũ angĩgaacũthĩrĩria bũrũri-inĩ, akoona no nduma ĩrĩ kuo na mĩnyamaro, o naguo ũtheri nĩũgaathiĩkwo nĩ matu.
And in that day they shall roare vpon them, as the roaring of the sea: and if they looke vnto the earth, beholde darkenesse, and sorowe, and the light shalbe darkened in their skie.
