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 let me sing for my Beloved, A song of my Beloved as to His vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard in a fruitful 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 He fences it, and casts out its stones, And plants it [with] a choice vine, And builds a tower in its midst, And has also hewn out a winepress in it, And He waits for the yielding of grapes, And it yields bad ones!
3 “Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ aya mũtũũraga Jerusalemu o na andũ a Juda, tũtuithaniei ciira, niĩ na mũgũnda wakwa wa mĩthabibũ.
And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, Please judge between Me and My vineyard.
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 [is there] to do still to My vineyard, That I have not done in it? For what reason have I waited for the yielding of grapes, And it yields [only] bad ones?
5 Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngũmwĩra ũrĩa ngwĩka mũgũnda ũcio wakwa wa mĩthabibũ: Nĩngũwehereria rũgiri rwaguo, nĩguo wanangwo, njooke momore rũthingo rwaguo, nĩguo ũrangĩrĩrio.
And now, pray, let Me cause you to know, That which I am doing to My vineyard, To turn its hedge aside, And it has been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it has been for a treading-place.
6 Ndĩũtiganĩrie wanangĩke, ũtegũcehwo kana kũrĩmwo, naguo ũrĩmeraga congʼe na mĩigua. Ningĩ njathe matu matikanaurĩrie mbura.”
And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And brier and thorn have gone up, And I lay a charge on the thick clouds, From raining on it rain.
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.
Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waits for judgment, and behold, oppression, For righteousness, and behold, a cry.
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 [to] those joining house to house, They bring field near to field, Until there is no place, And you have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
9 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe oigĩte atĩrĩ ngĩiguaga: “Ti-itherũ nyũmba iria nene nĩigakira ihooru, nacio nyũmba iria thaka ciage andũ a gũciikara.
Do many houses not become a desolation by the weapons of YHWH of Hosts? Great and good 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 vineyard yield one bath, And a homer of seed yields 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.
Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, They pursue strong drink! Lingering in twilight, wine inflames 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 harp, and stringed instrument, tambourine, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And they do not behold the work of YHWH, Indeed, they have not seen the work of His hands.
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 removed without knowledge, And its honorable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of 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 Sheol has enlarged herself, And has opened her mouth without limit. And its honor has gone down, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. (Sheol h7585)
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ nĩakaharũrũkio, nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ gĩconorithio, namo maitho ma arĩa etĩĩi maconorithio.
And the low is bowed down, and the high humbled, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
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 YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngʼondu ikaarĩĩaga ta irĩ ũrĩithio-inĩ wacio; natuo tũgondu tũkaarĩithagio kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩku gwa itonga.
And lambs have fed according to their leading, And sojourners consume wastelands of the fat ones.
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 [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin.
19 o acio moigaga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩahiũhe oke, nĩahĩke wĩra wake nĩguo tũwone. Nĩũkuhĩrĩrie, mũbango wa Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli nĩũũke, nĩguo tũũmenye.”
Who are saying, “Let Him hurry, Let Him hurry His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.”
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 [to] those saying to evil “good,” and to good “evil,” Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
21 Hĩ! Kaĩ arĩa meyonaga marĩ oogĩ maitho-inĩ mao, na makeyona marĩ na ũmenyi marĩ na haaro-ĩ!
Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And—before their own faces—intelligent!
22 Hĩ! Kaĩ andũ arĩa marĩ ngumo ya kũnyua ndibei, na njoorua cia kũriingia indo cia gũtũma andũ marĩĩo marĩ na haaro-ĩ!
Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
23 o arĩa marekagĩrĩria andũ arĩa mehĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa ihaki, no makarega gũtua ciira wa kĩhooto wa andũ arĩa matehĩtie.
Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside 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 a tongue of fire devours stubble, And flaming hay falls, Their root is as muck, And their flower goes up as dust. Because they have rejected the Law of YHWH of Hosts, And despised the saying 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 the anger of YHWH has burned among His people, And He stretches out His hand against it, And strikes it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcass is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
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 lifted up an ensign to the far-off nations, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And behold, with haste, it comes swiftly.
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.
There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It does not slumber, nor sleep, Nor has the girdle of its loins been opened, Nor the strap of its sandals drawn away.
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 arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hooves of its horses have been reckoned as flint, And its wheels as a windstorm!
29 Mũraramo wao nĩ ta wa mũrũũthi, nao mararamaga o ta njaũ cia mĩrũũthi; marurumaga makĩnyiita ũguĩmi wao, na makaũkuua na gũtirĩ ũngĩũteithũra.
Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roars like young lions, And it howls, and seizes prey, And carries away safely, and there is none delivering.
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 it howls against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it has looked attentively to the land, And behold, darkness—distress, And light has been darkened by its abundance!
