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.
Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O Zion! Put on the garments of your glory, O Jerusalem, the city of the Holy One! For the uncircumcised and the unclean will no longer pass through you.
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 yourself from the dust! Arise and sit up, O Jerusalem! Loose the chains from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
3 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Wee wendirio ũtarutĩirwo kĩndũ, na ũgaakũũrwo ũtarutĩirwo mbeeca.”
For thus says the Lord: You were sold for nothing, and you will 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 God: My people descended into Egypt, in the beginning, in order to sojourn there. But the Assyrian oppressed them, without any cause at all.
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, what is left for me here, says the Lord? For my people have been taken away without cause. Their lords treat them unjustly, says the Lord. And my name is being continually blasphemed all day long.
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.”
Because of this, my people will know my name, in that day. For it is I myself who is speaking. Behold, I am here.
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 the messenger and the preacher of peace! Announcing good and preaching peace, they are saying to Zion, “Your God will reign!”
8 Atĩrĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩria! Arangĩri aku nĩmaranĩrĩra; maranĩrĩra nĩ gũkena marĩ hamwe. Rĩrĩa Jehova agaacooka Zayuni, nĩmakeyonera na maitho mao.
It is the voice of your watchmen. They have lifted up their voice. They will praise together. For they will see eye to eye, when the Lord converts Zion.
9 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩtwo kwa Jerusalemu, ambĩrĩriai kũina nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩahooreretie andũ ake, na agakũũra Jerusalemu.
Be glad and rejoice together, O deserts of Jerusalem! For the Lord has consoled 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.
The Lord has prepared his holy arm, in the sight of all the Gentiles. And all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Eherai, eherai, umai kũu! Mũtikahutie kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu! Umai kũu na mwĩtherie, inyuĩ mũkuuaga indo cia Jehova.
Depart, depart, get out of here! Do not be willing to touch what is polluted. Go out from her midst! Be cleansed, you who 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 you will not go out in a tumult, nor will you take flight in a hurry. For the Lord will precede you, and the God of Israel will gather you.
13 Atĩrĩrĩ, ndungata yakwa ĩgeekaga maũndũ na ũũgĩ; nĩĩkambarario na yambatĩrio, o na ĩtũũgĩrio mũno.
Behold, my servant will understand; he will be exalted and lifted up, and he will be very sublime.
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 they were stupefied over you, so will his countenance be without glory among men, and his appearance, among 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.
He will sprinkle many nations; kings will close their mouth because of him. And those to whom he was not described, have seen. And those who have not heard, have considered.
