Isaia 57
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, andũ arĩa athingu makuaga o ro ũguo, na gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩciiragia ũhoro ũcio ngoro-inĩ yake; andũ arĩa etigĩri-Ngai meheragio, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũmenyaga atĩ acio athingu meheretio nĩguo matharwo, matikoone ũũru.
The just man perishes, and there is no one who acknowledges it in his heart; and men of mercy are taken away, for there is no one who understands. For the just man has been taken away before the face of malice.
2 Andũ arĩa mathiiaga na mĩthiĩre mĩagĩrĩru, matoonyaga thayũ-inĩ; ningĩ nĩmonaga ũhurũko makua.
Let peace arrive. Let he who has walked in his righteousness find rest on his bed.
3 “No inyuĩ-rĩ, ũkaai haha, inyuĩ ariũ a mũndũ-wa-nja mũragũri, o inyuĩ ciana cia itharia na cia maraya!
But come here, you sons of the prophetess, you offspring of an adulterous man and a fornicating woman.
4 Nũũ ũcio inyuĩ mũranyũrũria? Nũũ ũcio mũratembanĩria mĩromo na mũkamũrutĩra rũrĩmĩ? Githĩ inyuĩ ti inyuĩ ciana cia aremi, o na rũciaro rwa aheenania?
Whom are you mocking? Against whom have you opened your mouth wide and wagged your tongue? Are you not sons of wickedness, a lying offspring,
5 Inyuĩ mũhĩahĩaga nĩ thuti cianyu mũrĩ kũu mĩgandi-inĩ, na mũrĩ rungu rwa mũtĩ o wothe mũruru; mũrutaga ciana cianyu magongona kũu ituamba-inĩ, na mĩatũka-inĩ ya ndwaro cia mahiga.
who are being consoled by idols under every leafy tree, immolating little children at the torrents, under the high rocks?
6 “Mĩhianano ya kũhooywo ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mahiga-inĩ manyoroku kũu ituamba-inĩ nĩyo rũgai rwanyu; ĩĩ, mĩhianano ĩyo nĩyo igai rĩanyu. Ĩĩ, ĩyo nĩyo ũitĩire magongona maku ma kĩndũ gĩa kũnyuuo, na ũkamĩrutĩra maruta ma mũtu. Niĩ-rĩ, ingĩhota atĩa gũkirĩrĩria maũndũ ta macio?
Your portion is in the currents of the torrent; this is your lot! And you yourselves have poured out libations to them; you have offered sacrifice. Should I not be angry over these things?
7 Wee ũthondekete ũrĩrĩ waku karĩma-inĩ karĩa karaaya na igũrũ, na gatũũgĩru; na kũu igũrũ nĩkuo waambatire, ũgĩthiĩ kũrutĩra magongona maku kuo.
Upon a high and lofty mountain, you have placed your bed, and you have ascended to that place to immolate victims.
8 Thuutha wa mĩrango yaku, na hingĩro-inĩ ciayo nĩkuo ũigĩte imenyithia cia gũkũririkania ũhoro wa mĩhianano ya andũ acio matooĩ Ngai. Nĩwahumbũririe gĩtanda gĩaku nĩ ũndũ wa kũndirika, ũkĩhaica igũrũ rĩakĩo, o na ũgĩkĩaramia makĩria; ũkĩrĩĩkanĩra na acio wendete itanda ciao, na ũgĩcooka ũkĩĩrorera njaga yao.
And behind the door, and beyond the post, you have set up your memorial. For you uncovered yourself next to me, and you received an adulterer. You widened your bed, and you formed a pact with them. You loved their bed with an open hand.
9 Nĩwathiire kũrĩ Moleku ũrĩ na maguta ma mũtĩ wa mũtamaiyũ, na ũkĩongerera maguta maku marĩa manungaga wega. Nĩwatũmire abarũthi aku mathiĩ kũndũ kũraya mũno; ningĩ ũgĩikũrũka o nginya mbĩrĩra-inĩ! (Sheol h7585)
And you have adorned yourself for the king with ointments, and you have increased your cosmetics. You have sent your representatives to distant places, and you have debased yourself all the way to Hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Nĩwanogirio nĩ mĩthiĩre yaku yothe, no rĩrĩ, ndũigana kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ wa tũhũ.’ Ũkĩgĩa na hinya mwerũ, nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũigana kũringĩka.
You have been wearied by the multitude of your own ways. Yet you did not say, “I will cease.” You have found life by your own hand; because of this, you have not prayed.
11 “Nũũ wakũiguithirie guoya na ũkĩmwĩtigĩra, ũũ atĩ ũkoretwo ũkĩaga gũtuĩka mwĩhokeku kũrĩ niĩ, na ũkaaga gũcooka kũndirikana, o na kana wĩcũũranie ũhoro ũcio na ngoro yaku? Githĩ ti tondũ ngoretwo ngirĩte ki ihinda iraihu, nawe ũkaaga kũnjĩtigĩra?
For whose sake have you been anxiously afraid, so that you would lie and not be mindful of me, nor consider me in your heart? For I am silent, and I am like someone who does not see, and so you have forgotten me.
12 Nĩngaumbũrania ũthingu waku na ciĩko ciaku, nacio itigakũguna.
I will announce your justice, and your works will not benefit you.
13 Rĩrĩa ũgaakaya ũkĩenda ũteithio-rĩ, mĩhianano ĩyo ya kũhooywo ũnganĩtie-rĩ, nĩĩgagĩkũhonokia! Rũhuho nĩrũkamĩkuua yothe, yũmbũrwo, yeherio nĩ mĩhũmũ mĩtheri. No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa ũnduuaga rĩũrĩro rĩake-rĩ, nĩwe ũkaagaya bũrũri, o na egwatĩre kĩrĩma gĩakwa kĩrĩa kĩamũre.”
When you cry out, let your followers free you. But the wind will carry them all away; a breeze will take them up. But he who has faith in me will inherit the earth and will possess my holy mountain.
14 Na nĩgũkeeranwo atĩrĩ: “Akaai, akaai, na mũthondeke njĩra! Eheriai mĩhĩnga yehere njĩra-inĩ ya andũ akwa.”
And I will say: “Make way! Grant passage! Move to the side of the path! Take the obstacles out of the way of my people!”
15 Nĩgũkorwo Ũrĩa-Ũrĩ-Igũrũ Mũno, o We ũtũũgĩrĩtio na ũtũũraga tene na tene, ũrĩa wĩtagwo mũtheru; ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ndũũraga o igũrũ handũ hatheru, na ningĩ ngatũũrania na mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ ngoro ĩthuthĩkĩte, na ũrĩa ũherete na wĩnyiihĩtie, nĩguo njarahũre roho wa mũndũ ũcio wĩnyiihĩtie, na njarahũre ngoro ĩyo ĩthuthĩkĩte.
For this is said by the Most High, the Sublime One, who dwells in eternity. And his name is Holy, for he dwells in the exalted and holy place, and he acts with a restrained and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 Ndigũtũũra ndũithanagia nginya tene, o na kana ndũũre ndakarĩte hĩndĩ ciothe, tondũ roho wa mũndũ wahota kũringĩka mbere yakwa, mĩhũmũ ĩyo ya mũndũ ũcio ndoombire ĩhwererekere.
For I will not contend unceasingly, and I will not be angry to the end. For I will exhale my breath, and the Spirit will go forth from my face.
17 Nĩndarakaririo mũno nĩ mehia make ma gũkoroka; ngĩmũherithia na ngĩmũhitha ũthiũ wakwa nĩ kũrakara, no agĩthiĩ o na mbere na mĩthiĩre yake ĩrĩa eyendeire.
Because of the iniquity of his avarice, I was angry, and I struck him down. I concealed my face from you, and I was angry. And he went astray by wandering in his heart.
18 Nĩnyonete njĩra ciake, no nĩngamũhonia; ningĩ nĩngamũtongoria, na njooke ndĩmũũmĩrĩrie,
I saw his ways, and I healed him, and I led him back again, and I restored consolations to him and to those who mourn for him.
19 ndũme kũgĩe na ũgooci tũnua-inĩ twa andũ arĩa macakayaga kũu Isiraeli. Thayũ, thayũ kũrĩ arĩa marĩ kũraya, na kũrĩ arĩa marĩ gũkuhĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Na nĩ niĩ ngaamahonia.”
I created the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him who is far away, and peace to him who is near, said the Lord, and I healed him.
20 No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa aaganu mahaana ta iria rĩgĩikia ndiihũ ciarĩo, rĩrĩa rĩtangĩhoorera, rĩrĩa makũmbĩ marĩo mahurunjaga ndaka na ndooro.
But the impious are like the raging sea, which is not able to be quieted, and its waves stir up dirt and mud.
21 Ngai wakwa ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu-rĩ, ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩgĩa na thayũ.”
There is no peace for the impious, says the Lord God.
