Isaia 59
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, ti-itherũ guoko kwa Jehova ti kuonju atĩ gũtingĩhota kũhonokania, o na kana gũtũ gwake gũkagĩa njiika atĩ gũtingĩhota kũigua.
Beholde, the Lordes hande is not shortened, that it can not saue: neither is his eare heauie, that it cannot heare.
2 No rĩrĩ, mawaganu manyu nĩmo mamũtigithanĩtie na Ngai wanyu; namo mehia manyu nĩmo matũmĩte amũhithe ũthiũ wake, akarega kũmũigua.
But your iniquities haue separated betweene you and your God, and your sinnes haue hidde his face from you, that he will not heare.
3 Nĩgũkorwo moko manyu nĩmathaahĩte nĩ ũiti wa thakame, nacio ciara cianyu ikaiyũra wĩhia. Tũnua twanyu nĩtwarĩtie ndeto cia maheeni, na nĩmĩ cianyu ikangʼungʼuaga o ndeto cia waganu.
For your handes are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquitie: your lips haue spoken lies and your tongue hath murmured iniquitie.
4 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wendaga ciira wa kĩhooto, o na kana ageciirĩrĩra na njĩra ya ma. Mehokaga ngarari cia tũhũ na makaaria ndeto cia maheeni; magĩaga nda cia mathĩĩna na magaciara waganu.
No man calleth for iustice: no man contendeth for trueth: they trust in vanitie, and speake vaine things: they conceiue mischiefe, and bring foorth iniquitie.
5 Mahaana ta makomeire matumbĩ ma nduĩra, na makaamba mĩtego ya rũrenda rwa mbũmbũĩ. Mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũngĩrĩa matumbĩ macio no gũkua akuaga, na o itumbĩ rĩahehenjwo rĩtũrĩkaga nduĩra.
They hatch cockatrice egges, and weaue the spiders webbe: he that eateth of their egges, dieth, and that which is trode vpon, breaketh out into a serpent.
6 Rũrenda rũu rwao nĩ rwa tũhũ rũtingĩtumwo nguo; matiingĩhumbĩra na kĩrĩa mathondekaga naruo. Mawĩra mao nĩ mawĩra ma waganu, na moko mao maiyũrĩte ciĩko cia haaro.
Their webbes shall be no garment, neither shall they couer themselues with their labours: for their workes are workes of iniquitie, and the worke of crueltie is in their handes.
7 Magũrũ mao mahanyũkaga makehie; mahiũhaga magaite thakame ya mũndũ ũtehĩtie. Meciiria mao no meciiria ma ũũru; na kũrĩa guothe mathiiaga matigaga gũkirĩte ihooru na mwanangĩko.
Their feete runne to euill, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are wicked thoughts: desolation and destruction is in their paths.
8 Njĩra ya thayũ matimĩũĩ; na mĩthiĩre yao ti ya gũtuanĩra ciira na kĩhooto. Metemeire njĩra njogomu; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũcigeragĩra akagĩa na thayũ.
The way of peace they knowe not, and there is none equitie in their goings: they haue made them crooked paths: whosoeuer goeth therein, shall not knowe peace.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ciira wa kĩhooto ũrĩ kũraya na ithuĩ, naguo ũthingu ndũtũkinyagĩra. Tũcaragia ũtheri, no tuonaga o nduma; tũgacaria ũkengu, no tũkagerera kũrĩa kũrĩ na mairia matumanu.
Therefore is iudgement farre from vs, neither doeth iustice come neere vnto vs: we waite for light, but loe, it is darkenesse: for brightnesse, but we walke in darkenesse.
10 Tũhambataga rũthingo ta mũtumumu, na tũgeetherera njĩra ta andũ matarĩ maitho. Tũhĩngagwo mũthenya barigici o ta rĩrĩa kũrĩ mairia; tũrĩ gatagatĩ ka andũ arĩa marĩ hinya, tũhaanaga ta andũ akuũ.
Wee grope for the wall like the blinde, and we grope as one without eyes: we stumble at the noone day as in the twilight: we are in solitarie places, as dead men.
11 Ithuothe tũraramaga o ta nduba; tũcakayaga na kĩeha ta ndutura. Tũcaragia ũhoro wa gũtuĩrwo ciira na kĩhooto, na tũtingĩwona o na atĩa; tũgacaria ũhoro wa ũhonokanio, no ũgatũraihĩrĩria mũno.
We roare all like beares, and mourne like dooues: wee looke for equitie, but there is none: for health, but it is farre from vs.
12 Nĩgũkorwo mahĩtia maitũ nĩ maingĩ maitho-inĩ maku, namo mehia maitũ makoimbũra ũrĩa tũtariĩ. Hĩndĩ ciothe mahĩtia maitũ makoragwo hamwe na ithuĩ, namo mehia maitũ nĩtũmooĩ mothe:
For our trespasses are many before thee, and our sinnes testifie against vs: for our trespasses are with vs, and we knowe our iniquities
13 namo nĩ ũremi na gũkaana Jehova, na kũhutatĩra Ngai witũ, na kwaragia ndeto cia kũhinyanĩrĩria, na kũregana na watho, na kwaria ndeto cia maheeni iria ngoro ciitũ ithugundĩte.
In trespassing and lying against the Lord, and wee haue departed away from our God, and haue spoken of crueltie and rebellion, conceiuing and vttering out of the heart false matters.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtwagĩte ciira wa kĩhooto, naguo ũthingu ũgatũraihĩrĩria; naguo ũhoro wa ma ũkagũa njĩra-inĩ, naguo ũrũngĩrĩru ũkaagĩrwo mweke.
Therefore iudgement is turned backewarde, and iustice standeth farre off: for trueth is fallen in the streete, and equitie cannot enter.
15 Ũhoro wa ma ndũrĩ handũ ũngĩoneka, nake mũndũ ũrĩa wĩthemaga ũũru agatuĩka mũndũ wa kũguĩmwo. Nake Jehova akĩona ũndũ ũcio, ũkĩaga kũmũkenia, tondũ gũtiatuanagĩrwo ciira na kĩhooto.
Yea, trueth faileth, and hee that refraineth from euill, maketh himselfe a praye: and when the Lord sawe it, it displeased him, that there was no iudgement.
16 Ningĩ akĩona atĩ gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wagĩrĩire, na akĩgega tondũ gũtiarĩ na mũteithũrani; nĩ ũndũ ũcio guoko gwake mwene nĩkuo kwamũhonokirie, naguo ũthingu wake mwene ũkĩmũtiirĩrĩra.
And when he sawe that there was no man, hee wondered that none woulde offer him selfe. Therefore his arme did saue it, and his righteousnes it selfe did sustaine it.
17 Agĩcooka akĩĩhumba ũthingu taarĩ gako gake ga kũmũgitĩra gĩthũri, na agĩĩkĩra ngũbia ya kĩgera ya ũhonokio mũtwe; naguo ũhoro wa kũrĩhanĩria akĩwĩĩhumba taarĩ nguo, na akĩĩhotora kĩyo taarĩ nguo ndaaya.
For he put on righteousnes, as an habergeon, and an helmet of saluation vpon his head, and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeale as a cloke.
18 O ta ũrĩa ciĩko ciao itariĩ, ũguo noguo akaarĩhana, arĩhe thũ ciake na mangʼũrĩ, nao andũ arĩa marĩ muku nake amacookererie ũũru wao; andũ arĩa matũũraga icigĩrĩra-inĩ-rĩ, erĩhĩrie na kũmagera ngero o ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
As to make recompence, as to requite the furie of the aduersaries with a recompence to his enemies: he will fully repaire the ylands.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, andũ nĩmagetigĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova kuuma ithũĩro, na nĩmagatĩĩa riiri wake kuuma irathĩro rĩa riũa. Nĩgũkorwo agooka ta rũũĩ ruunĩte, rũgatherera na ihenya, rũtindĩkĩtwo nĩ mĩhũmũ ya Jehova.
So shall they feare the Name of the Lord from the West, and his glory from the rising of the sunne: for the enemie shall come like a flood: but the Spirit of the Lord shall chase him away.
20 “Mũkũũri nĩagooka Zayuni, na akinye kũrĩ andũ a Jakubu arĩa maherete mehia mao,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And the Redeemer shall come vnto Zion, and vnto them that turne from iniquitie in Iaakob, saith the Lord.
21 Ningĩ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ha ũhoro wakwa-rĩ, gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndarĩkanĩire nao, atĩ Roho wakwa, ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ rĩaku, na ciugo ciakwa iria njĩkĩrĩte kanua gaku, itirĩ hĩndĩ ikehera kuuma kanua gaku, kana ciehere kuuma tũnua twa ciana ciaku, o na kana ciehere kuuma tũnua twa njiaro ciao, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And I will make this my couenant with them, saith the Lord. My Spirit that is vpon thee, and my wordes, which I haue put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seede, nor out of the mouth of the seede of thy seede, saith the Lord, from hencefoorth euen for euer.
