Isaia 52
1 Arahũka, arahũka, wee Zayuni, wĩĩkĩre hinya. Ĩkĩra nguo ciaku iria irĩ riiri, o wee Jerusalemu, itũũra rĩrĩa inene na rĩamũre. Nĩgũkorwo kuuma rĩu thĩinĩ waku gũtigacooka gũtoonya mũndũ ũtarĩ mũruu kana mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu.
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion. Put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Wĩribaribe rũkũngũ; ũkĩra, ũikarĩre gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, wee Jerusalemu. Wĩohore mĩnyororo ĩyo ĩrĩ ngingo yaku, wee mwarĩ wa Zayuni, o wee ũtũire ũrĩ muohe.
Shake thyself from the dust. Arise, sit up, O Jerusalem. Loose thyself from the bonds of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Wee wendirio ũtarutĩirwo kĩndũ, na ũgaakũũrwo ũtarutĩirwo mbeeca.”
For thus says Jehovah: Ye were sold for nothing, and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tene andũ akwa maikũrũkire bũrũri wa Misiri magĩthiĩ gũtũũra marĩ ageni kuo; thuutha ũyũ andũ a Ashuri nĩmamahinyĩrĩirie.”
For thus says the lord Jehovah, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there. And the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5 Jehova ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Rĩu-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ ndĩ nakĩo? “Nĩgũkorwo andũ akwa maatahirwo o ũguo tũhũ, nao andũ arĩa mamaathaga no kũmanyũrũria. Narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩcambagio hĩndĩ ciothe,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Now therefore, what do I do here, says Jehovah, seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them howl, says Jehovah, and because of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.
6 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ akwa nĩmakamenya rĩĩtwa rĩakwa; mũthenya ũcio nĩmakamenya atĩ nĩ niĩ ndaaririe ũhoro ũcio o tene. Ĩĩ nĩguo, nĩ niĩ ndawaririe.”
Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks, Behold, it is I.
7 Kaĩ magũrũ ma mũndũ ũrĩa ũrarehe ũhoro mwega, nĩmagĩrĩire kũu irĩma-inĩ igũrũ-ĩ, o ũcio ũrahunjanĩria ũhoro wa thayũ, na akarehe ũhoro mwega wa maũndũ magĩrĩru, o na akahunjanĩria ũhoro wa kũhonokania, o we ũrĩa ũreera Zayuni atĩrĩ, “Ngai waku nĩwe ũrathamaka!”
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Thy God reigns!
8 Atĩrĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩria! Arangĩri aku nĩmaranĩrĩra; maranĩrĩra nĩ gũkena marĩ hamwe. Rĩrĩa Jehova agaacooka Zayuni, nĩmakeyonera na maitho mao.
The voice of thy watchmen! They lift up the voice; they sing together. For they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah returns to Zion.
9 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩtwo kwa Jerusalemu, ambĩrĩriai kũina nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩahooreretie andũ ake, na agakũũra Jerusalemu.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem, for Jehovah has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Jehova nĩakaguũria guoko gwake gũtheru harĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, ikuone na maitho mao, nacio ituri ciothe cia thĩ nĩcikoona ũhonokanio wa Ngai witũ.
Jehovah has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11 Eherai, eherai, umai kũu! Mũtikahutie kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu! Umai kũu na mwĩtherie, inyuĩ mũkuuaga indo cia Jehova.
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from there. Touch no unclean thing. Go ye out of the midst of her. Cleanse yourselves, ye who bear the vessels of Jehovah.
12 No rĩrĩ, mũtikoima na ihenya, kana mũthiĩ mũhanyũkĩte; nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe ũkaamũtongoria, Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩwe ũkaamuuma thuutha, amũgitĩre.
For ye shall not go out in haste, nor shall ye go by flight. For Jehovah will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rearward.
13 Atĩrĩrĩ, ndungata yakwa ĩgeekaga maũndũ na ũũgĩ; nĩĩkambarario na yambatĩrio, o na ĩtũũgĩrio mũno.
Behold, my servant shall deal wisely. He shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
14 O ta ũrĩa andũ aingĩ maagegirio mũno nĩ ũndũ wake, tondũ gĩthiithi gĩake nĩgĩathũkĩtio mũno, gĩgakĩra kĩa mũndũ o wothe, na mũhianĩre wake ũgathũkio gũkĩra mũhianĩre wa andũ,
Just as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred, more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
15 ũguo noguo akaamakia ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, nao athamaki nĩmagatumia tũnua twao nĩ ũndũ wake. Nĩgũkorwo maũndũ marĩa materĩtwo, nĩmakamoona, na maũndũ marĩa mataiguĩte, nĩmakamenya ũhoro wamo.
so shall he sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which had not been told them they shall see, and that which they had not heard they shall understand.
