< Isaia 60 >

1 “Atĩrĩrĩ, arahũka ũcangarare, tondũ ũtheri waku nĩũũkĩte, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũgakwarĩra.
Arise, O Ierusalem: be bright, for thy light is come, and the glorie of the Lord is risen vpon thee.
2 Atĩrĩrĩ, nduma nĩĩhumbĩrĩte thĩ, nayo nduma ndumanu ĩkahumbĩra ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, no Jehova nĩakwarĩire, naguo riiri wake ũgakwarĩra.
For beholde, darkenesse shall couer the earth, and grosse darkenesse the people: but the Lord shall arise vpon thee, and his glory shall be seene vpon thee.
3 Ndũrĩrĩ nĩigooka kũrĩ ũtheri waku, nao athamaki moke kũrĩa ũcangararĩte ta riũa rĩkĩratha.
And the Gentiles shall walke in thy light, and Kings at the brightnesse of thy rising vp.
4 “Tiira maitho wĩrorere mĩena yothe: One ũrĩa andũ othe monganĩte magooka harĩwe, nao ariũ aku makoima kũndũ kũraya, nao airĩtu aku magooka makuuĩtwo na moko.
Lift vp thine eyes round about, and beholde: all these are gathered, and come to thee: thy sonnes shall come from farre, and thy daughters shalbe nourished at thy side.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkona ũndũ ũcio, nawe ũcangarare, ngoro yaku nayo ĩtuumatuume, na ĩiyũrwo nĩ gĩkeno; ũtonga ũrĩa ũrĩ iria-inĩ nĩũkareherwo, o naguo ũtonga wa ndũrĩrĩ ũrehwo kũrĩ we.
Then thou shalt see and shine: thine heart shall be astonied and enlarged, because the multitude of the sea shalbe conuerted vnto thee, and the riches of the Gentiles shall come vnto thee.
6 Ndũũru cia ngamĩĩra nĩikaiyũra bũrũri waku, o nacio njaũ cia ngamĩĩra cia kuuma Midiani, na cia Efa. Ngamĩĩra ciothe cia kuuma Sheba ciũke, ikuuĩte thahabu na ũbumba, nao andũ maanĩrĩre magooce Jehova.
The multitude of camels shall couer thee: and the dromedaries of Midian and of Ephah: all they of Sheba shall come: they shall bring golde and incense, and shewe foorth the prayses of the Lord.
7 Ndũũru ciothe cia mbũri cia Kedari igaacookanĩrĩrio irehwo kũrĩ we, ũtungatagĩrwo nĩ ndũrũme cia Nebaiothu; nĩigetĩkĩrwo, ituĩke cia kũrutwo igongona kĩgongona-inĩ gĩakwa, na niĩ nĩngagemia hekarũ yakwa ĩrĩa ĩrĩ riiri.
All the sheepe of Kedar shall be gathered vnto thee: the rammes of Nebaioth shall serue thee: they shall come vp to bee accepted vpon mine altar: and I will beautifie the house of my glorie.
8 “Atĩrĩrĩ, andũ aya mombũkĩte na igũrũ ta matu, o na kana ta ndutura igĩcooka itara-inĩ ciacio nĩ a?
Who are these that flee like a cloude, and as the doues to their windowes?
9 Ti-itherũ andũ arĩa matũũraga icigĩrĩra-inĩ nĩ niĩ metagĩrĩra; matongoretio nĩ marikabu cia Tarishishi, ikĩrehe ariũ anyu kuuma kũndũ kũraya, marĩ na betha na thahabu ciao nĩ ũndũ wa gũtĩĩa Jehova Ngai wanyu, Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo nĩakũheete riiri.
Surely the yles shall waite for mee, and the shippes of Tarshish, as at the beginning, that they may bring thy sonnes from farre, and their siluer, and their golde with them, vnto the Name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy one of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 “Andũ a kũngĩ nĩo magaacookereria thingo ciaku, nao athamaki ao magũtungatagĩre. O na akorwo nĩndakũhũũrire na marakara-rĩ, nĩũgeetĩkĩrĩka nĩ niĩ nĩguo ngũiguĩre tha.
And the sonnes of strangers shall builde vp thy walles, and their Kings shall minister vnto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my mercie I had compassion on thee.
11 Ihingo ciaku igũtũũra irĩ hingũre, itirĩ hĩndĩ ikaahingwo mũthenya kana ũtukũ, nĩgeetha andũ makũrehagĩre ũtonga wa ndũrĩrĩ, athamaki ao marũmanĩrĩire mũtongoro wa ũhootani.
Therefore thy gates shalbe open continually: neither day nor night shall they be shutte, that men may bring vnto thee the riches of the Gentiles, and that their Kings may be brought.
12 Nĩgũkorwo rũrĩrĩ kana ũthamaki ũrĩa ũtagagũtungatĩra nĩũkaniinwo; ũkaanangwo biũ.
For the nation and the kingdome, that will not serue thee, shall perish: and those nations shalbe vtterly destroyed.
13 “Riiri wa Lebanoni ũgaatuĩka waku, naguo nĩ wa mĩtĩ ya mĩthengera, mĩhuhu, na mĩkarakaba yothe hamwe, nĩguo ĩgemie handũ hakwa harĩa haamũre; na niĩ nĩngagoocithia handũ harĩa hakinyagwo nĩ magũrũ makwa.
The glory of Lebanon shall come vnto thee, the firre tree, the elme and the boxe tree together, to beautifie the place of my Sanctuarie: for I will glorifie the place of my feete.
14 Ariũ a andũ arĩa makũhinyagĩrĩria nĩmagooka harĩwe makũinamĩrĩre; na arĩa othe makũmenete, mainamĩrĩre magũrũ-inĩ maku, nao magwĩtage Itũũra-Inene-rĩa-Jehova, na Zayuni itũũra rĩa Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
The sonnes also of them that afflicted thee, shall come and bowe vnto thee: and all they that despised thee, shall fall downe at the soles of thy feete: and they shall call thee, The citie of the Lord, Zion of the Holy one of Israel.
15 “O na akorwo nĩwatiganĩirio na ũkĩmenwo, na gũkĩaga mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩtuĩkanĩria gwaku-rĩ, nĩngatũma ũtũũre ũrĩ mũtĩĩku nginya tene, na ũrĩ gĩkeno kĩa njiarwa ciothe.
Where as thou hast bene forsaken and hated: so that no man went by thee, I will make thee an eternall glorie, and a ioye from generation to generation.
16 Nĩũkanyuuaga iria rĩa ndũrĩrĩ na wongithagio nyondo cia ũthamaki. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo ũkaamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, nĩ niĩ Mũhonokia waku, na Mũkũũri waku, Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Hinya-Mũno wa Jakubu.
Thou shalt also sucke ye milke of the Gentiles, and shalt sucke the breastes of Kings: and thou shalt know, that I the Lord am thy Sauiour, and thy Redeemer, the mightie one of Iaakob.
17 Ngaakũrehera gĩcango handũ ha thahabu, na ngũrehere betha handũ ha kĩgera. Handũ ha mbaũ ngaakũrehera gĩcango, na ngũrehere kĩgera handũ ha mahiga. Nĩngatũma thayũ ũtuĩke mũnene waku, naguo ũthingu ũtuĩke mwathi waku.
For brasse will I bring golde, and for yron will I bring siluer, and for wood brasse, and for stones yron. I will also make thy gouernement peace, and thine exactours righteousnesse.
18 Ngũĩ ndĩgaacooka kũiguuo bũrũri-inĩ waku, o na kana mĩhaka-inĩ ya bũrũri waku kũgĩe ũũnũhi kana mwanangĩko, no nĩũgeeta thingo ciaku Ũhonokio, na ihingo ciaku ũciĩte Ũgooci.
Violence shall no more be heard of in thy land, neither desolation, nor destruction within thy borders: but thou shalt call saluation, thy walles, and praise, thy gates.
19 Riũa ti rĩo rĩrĩkwaragĩra mũthenya, kana ũtheri wa mweri ũgũtheragĩre ũtukũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova agaatuĩka ũtheri waku wa nginya tene na Ngai waku atuĩke riiri waku.
Thou shalt haue no more sunne to shine by day, neither shall the brightnesse of the moone shine vnto thee: for the Lord shall be thine euerlasting light, and thy God, thy glorie.
20 Riũa rĩu rĩaku rĩtigacooka gũthũa rĩngĩ, o na kana mweri waku ũtukĩrwo rĩngĩ; nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe ũgaatuĩka ũtheri wa gũgũtherera nginya tene, na matukũ maku ma kĩeha nĩmagathira.
Thy sunne shall neuer goe downe, neither shall thy moone be hid: for the Lord shalbe thine euerlasting light, and the dayes of thy sorowe shalbe ended.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nao andũ aku othe magaatuĩka athingu, na megwatĩre bũrũri nginya tene. Andũ acio nĩo thuuna ĩrĩa ndĩĩhaandĩire, arĩ wĩra wa moko makwa, nĩgeetha monanagie ũkengu wakwa mũnene.
Thy people also shalbe all righteous: they shall possesse the land for euer, the grasse of my planting shalbe the worke of mine handes, that I may be glorified.
22 Nyũmba ĩrĩa nini ĩkongerereka ĩtuĩke andũ ngiri, nayo ĩrĩa ĩtarĩ andũ aingĩ ĩtuĩke rũrĩrĩ rũrĩ hinya mũno. Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova. Nĩngeeka ũndũ ũcio narua ihinda rĩaguo rĩakinya.”
A litle one shall become as a thousande, and a small one as a strong nation: I the Lord wil hasten it in due time.
