Isaia 56
1 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tũũrai mũtuanagĩra ciira wa kĩhooto, na mwĩkage maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire, nĩgũkorwo ũhonokio wakwa nĩũkuhĩrĩirie, o naguo ũthingu wakwa ũrĩ hakuhĩ kũguũranĩrio.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Observe ye justice, And execute righteousness, —For near, is My salvation, to come in, and My righteousness to be revealed.
2 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio, o mũndũ ũrĩa ũrũmagia maũndũ macio mũno, na ũrĩa ũmenyagĩrĩra thabatũ atekũmĩthaahia, na akagirĩrĩria guoko gwake gwĩka ũũru.”
How happy the frail man, who doeth this! Yea the son of the earth-born who firmly graspeth it! Keeping the sabbath lest he profane it, and Keeping his own hand from doing any wrong.
3 Mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũrĩa wĩnyiitanĩtie na Jehova ndakanoige atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Jehova nĩakanyamũrania, andigithanie na andũ ake.” O na kana mũndũ ũrĩa mũhakũre arekwo oige atĩrĩ, “Niĩ haana o ta mũtĩ mũũmũ.”
And let not the son of the foreigner, who hath joined himself unto Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh, will separate, me from his people, Neither let the eunuch, say, Lo! I, am a tree dried up!
4 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ha ũhoro wa andũ arĩa ahakũre arĩa mamenyagĩrĩra thabatũ ciakwa, na magathuura gwĩka maũndũ marĩa mangenagia, na makarũmia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa-rĩ,
For thus, saith Yahweh—Of the eunuchs, Who shall keep my sabbaths, And choose what I delight in, —And lay firm hold on my covenant,
5 nĩngamahe handũ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yakwa na thingo-inĩ ciayo, na ndũme maririkanagwo na magĩe igweta rĩega mũno gũkĩra andũ arĩa marĩ na ciana cia aanake na cia airĩtu; o na ningĩ nĩngamahe rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa magaatũũra meetagwo nginya tene na tene, rĩrĩa rĩtagacooka kũriganĩra.
That I will give unto them—In my house, And within my walls, A sign and a name, better than sons and daughters, —A name age-abiding, will I give him, which shall not be cut off.
6 Andũ a kũngĩ arĩa menyiitanĩtie na Jehova nĩguo mamũtungatagĩre, o acio mendete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, na mamũhooyaga, o na arĩa othe mamenyagĩrĩra thabatũ matekũmĩthaahia, na makarũmia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa-rĩ,
And, as for the sons of the foreigner—Who have joined themselves unto Yahweh To wait upon him, and To love the name of Yahweh, To become his for servants, —Every one who keepeth the sabbath, lest he profane it. And who, layeth firm hold on my covenant,
7 andũ acio nĩo ngaatwara kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa kĩrĩa kĩamũre, na ndĩmahe gĩkeno thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa ya mahooya. Maruta mao ma njino na magongona nĩmagetĩkĩrĩka kĩgongona-inĩ gĩakwa; nĩgũkorwo nyũmba yakwa ĩgeetagwo nyũmba ya mahooya ya kũhooyagĩrwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.”
Surely I will bring them into my holy mountain And make them joyful in my house of prayer, Their ascending-offerings and their sacrifices, being accepted upon mine altar, —For, my house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the peoples!
8 Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, o we ũrĩa ũcookanagĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli arĩa matahĩtwo: “Hamwe na acio ndĩkĩtie gũcookanĩrĩria no kũrĩ angĩ ngaacookanĩrĩria meongerere harĩo.”
Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: —Yet others, will I gather unto him Besides his own gathered ones.
9 Atĩrĩrĩ, ũkaai inyuĩ nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka, o na inyuĩ nyamũ ciothe cia mũtitũ ũkaai mũrĩe!
All ye beasts of the field! come ye to devour, All ye beasts in the forest.
10 Arangĩri a Isiraeli nĩ atumumu, othe nĩmagĩte ũmenyo; othe matariĩ ta ngui itagambaga, ikaremwo nĩ gũkũga; makomaga thĩ makaroota, na mendaga o gũkoma toro.
His watchmen, are blind None of them, know, All of them, are dumb dogs, they cannot bark, —Dreaming, sleeping, loving to slumber.
11 Matariĩ o ta ngui ngoroku mũno; matirĩ hĩndĩ mahũũnaga. Nĩ arĩithi matarĩ na ũtaũku; othe magarũrũkĩte magathiĩ na njĩra ciao o ene, na o mũndũ acaragia maũndũ ma kwĩguna we mwene.
And, the dogs, are greedy they know not to be satisfied. Yea, they, are shepherds who know not to discern, —All of them unto their own way, have turned, Every man to his unjust gain, on every hand:
12 O mũndũ aanagĩrĩra akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũnganai ndĩmũrehere ndibei! Nĩtũnyue njoohi nginya tũrĩĩo! Naruo rũciũ rũkaahaana o ta ũmũthĩ, kana rwagĩre mũno makĩria.”
Come ye! I will fetch wine Let us fill ourselves with strong drink, —And like this day, shall, to-morrow be—Great beyond measure!
