< 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, Sion; put on thy strength, O Sion; and o thou put on thy glory, Jerusalem the holy city: there shall no more pass through thee, the uncircumcised and 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 off the dust and arise; sit down, Jerusalem: put off the band of thy neck, captive daughter of Sion.
3 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Wee wendirio ũtarutĩirwo kĩndũ, na ũgaakũũrwo ũtarutĩirwo mbeeca.”
For thus saith the Lord, Ye have been sold for nought; and ye shall not be ransomed with silver.
4 Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tene andũ akwa maikũrũkire bũrũri wa Misiri magĩthiĩ gũtũũra marĩ ageni kuo; thuutha ũyũ andũ a Ashuri nĩmamahinyĩrĩirie.”
Thus saith the Lord, My people went down before to Egypt to sojourn there; and were carried away forcibly to the Assyrians.
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.
And now why are ye here? Thus saith the Lord, Because my people was taken for nothing, wonder ye and howl. Thus saith the Lord, On account 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 shall my people know my name in that day, for I am he that speaks: I am present,
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!”
as a season of beauty upon the mountains, as the feet of one preaching glad tidings of peace, as one preaching good news: for I will publish thy salvation, saying, O Sion, thy God shall reign.
8 Atĩrĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩria! Arangĩri aku nĩmaranĩrĩra; maranĩrĩra nĩ gũkena marĩ hamwe. Rĩrĩa Jehova agaacooka Zayuni, nĩmakeyonera na maitho mao.
For the voice of them that guard thee is exalted, and with the voice together they shall rejoice: for eyes shall look to eyes, when the Lord shall have mercy upon Sion.
9 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩtwo kwa Jerusalemu, ambĩrĩriai kũina nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩahooreretie andũ ake, na agakũũra Jerusalemu.
Let the waste places of Jerusalem break forth [in] joy together, because the Lord has had mercy upon her, and has delivered Jerusalem.
10 Jehova nĩakaguũria guoko gwake gũtheru harĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, ikuone na maitho mao, nacio ituri ciothe cia thĩ nĩcikoona ũhonokanio wa Ngai witũ.
And the Lord shall reveal his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation that [comes] from our God.
11 Eherai, eherai, umai kũu! Mũtikahutie kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu! Umai kũu na mwĩtherie, inyuĩ mũkuuaga indo cia Jehova.
Depart ye, depart, go out from thence, and touch not the unclean thing; go ye out from the midst of her; separate yourselves, ye that bear the vessels of the Lord.
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 forth with tumult, neither go by flight: for the Lord shall go first in advance of you; and the God of Israel shall be he that brings up your rear.
13 Atĩrĩrĩ, ndungata yakwa ĩgeekaga maũndũ na ũũgĩ; nĩĩkambarario na yambatĩrio, o na ĩtũũgĩrio mũno.
Behold, my servant shall understand, and be exalted, and glorified exceedingly.
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,
As many shall be amazed at thee, so shall thy face be without glory from men, and thy glory [shall not be honoured] by 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.
Thus shall many nations wonder at him; and kings shall keep their mouths shut: for they to whom no report was brought concerning him, shall see; and they who have not heard, shall consider.
