Isaia 50
1 Jehova ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Marũa marĩa maitũguo aaheirwo ma gũtigana nake, o macio monanagia atĩ nĩndamũteire-rĩ, marĩ ha? Kana nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ wa arĩa ndaarĩ thiirĩ nao ndakwendeirie? Nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu-rĩ, nĩkĩo mwendirio; nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mwagararĩte watho, nĩkĩo nyina wanyu aateirwo.
Thus says the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have you sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
2 Rĩrĩa ndokire-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire haage mũndũ o na ũmwe? Ningĩ rĩrĩa ndetanire-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũmire haage mũndũ o na ũmwe wanjĩtĩkire? Kaĩ guoko gwakwa gwakuhĩhĩte, nĩguo kũremwo nĩkũmũkũũra? Nĩ hinya njagĩte wa kũmũhonokia? Ikũũma rĩakwa riiki nĩrĩtũmaga iria rĩhũe, o na ngatũma njũũĩ ituĩke werũ; thamaki ciakuo ikabutha nĩ kwaga maaĩ, na igakua nĩ nyoota.
Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinks, because there is no water, and dies for thirst.
3 Niĩ humbaga igũrũ nguo ya nduma, na ngarĩkunĩkĩra na nguo ya ikũnia.”
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 Mwathani Jehova nĩaahete rũrĩmĩ rwa andũ arĩa marutĩtwo maũndũ, nĩguo menyage ũrĩa ciugo ciakwa ingĩhota gũteithia andũ arĩa anogu. Anjarahũraga rũciinĩ o rũciinĩ, akaarahũra matũ makwa thikĩrĩrie nĩguo ndĩĩrute ta andũ arĩa marutagwo maũndũ.
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.
5 Mwathani Jehova nĩahingũrĩte matũ makwa, na niĩ ndirĩ ndamũremera; ndicookete na thuutha.
The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
6 Ndaneanire mũgongo wakwa kũrĩ andũ arĩa maahũũraga, kĩreru gĩakwa ngĩkĩnengera arĩa maangũũraga nderu; ndiahithire ũthiũ wakwa atĩ nĩguo ndikanyũrũrio, kana ndige gũtuĩrwo mata.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 Tondũ Mwathani Jehova nĩwe ũndeithagia-rĩ, ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaaconorithio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũmĩte ũthiũ wakwa ũikare ũũmĩte o ta ihiga rĩa nyaigĩ, na nĩnjũũĩ ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaaconorithio.
For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 Ningĩ ũrĩa ũnduuaga mũthingu arĩ hakuhĩ. Nũũ ũngĩgĩĩthitanga? Nĩoke tũrũgamane nake! Ningĩ ũrĩa ũngĩnjiirithia akĩrĩ we ũ? Mũndũ ũcio nĩarekwo akĩĩngʼethere!
He is near that justifies me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Atĩrĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova nĩwe ũndeithagia. Ũrĩa ũngĩndua mwĩhia akĩrĩ ũũ? Andũ acio othe magaathira o ta ũrĩa nguo ĩthiraga; makaarĩĩo nĩ memenyi, mathire biũ.
Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? see, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
10 Nũũ thĩinĩ wanyu wĩtigĩrĩte Jehova, na wathĩkagĩra kiugo kĩa ndungata yake? Mũndũ ũrĩa ũthiiagĩra nduma-inĩ, ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũtheri, nĩakĩĩhoke rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, na egiritanie na Ngai wake.
Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay on his God.
11 No rĩrĩ, rĩu inyuĩ arĩa othe mwakagia mwaki, na mũkeehe imũrĩ igwakana-rĩ, thiĩi, mũgerere ũtheri-inĩ wa mwaki wanyu, na wa imũrĩ cia mwaki ũrĩa mũgwatĩtie. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo mũkaamũkĩra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa: Mũgaakoma thĩ na mĩnyamaro.
Behold, all you that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that you have kindled. This shall you have of my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
