Isaia 61
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, Roho wa Mwathani Jehova arĩ igũrũ rĩakwa, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩanjitĩrĩirie maguta, nĩguo hunjagĩrie andũ arĩa athĩĩni ũhoro-ũrĩa-mwega. Nĩandũmĩte ngahonie arĩa athuthĩku ngoro, na ngaanĩrĩre atĩ andũ arĩa mohetwo nĩmohorwo, nao arĩa mohetwo njeera ndĩmeere nĩmarekererio,
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,
2 na hunjanagĩrie ũhoro wa mwaka ũrĩa Jehova akoonania ũtugi wake, na mũthenya ũrĩa Ngai witũ akerĩhĩria, ningĩ hooragĩrie arĩa othe marĩ na kĩeha,
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,
3 na ndeithagie andũ arĩa marĩ na kĩeha kũu Zayuni: ndĩmahumbe tanji ya ũthaka handũ ha mũhu, na ndĩmaitĩrĩrie maguta ma gĩkeno handũ ha kĩeha, na ndĩmahumbe nguo ya ũgooci handũ ha ngoro ĩtarĩ mwĩhoko. Nĩgeetha meetagwo mĩtĩ ya ũthingu, mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩhaandĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩguo monanagie riiri wake.
to console the mourners in Zion— to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
4 Nao nĩmagaka kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũire kwanangĩtwo kuuma tene, na macookererie kũndũ kũrĩa kuonũhirwo tene; nĩ magaacookereria matũũra manene marĩa matũire marĩ manange njiarwa na njiarwa.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 Nao ageni nĩmakarĩithagia ndũũru cianyu; nao andũ a kũngĩ marĩmage mĩgũnda yanyu, o na maceehage mĩthabibũ yanyu.
Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.
6 No inyuĩ mũgeetagwo athĩnjĩri-Ngai a Jehova, nao andũ mamwĩtage atungatĩri a Ngai witũ. Mũkaarĩĩaga ũtonga wa ndũrĩrĩ, na mwĩtĩĩage na indo icio ciao nyingĩ.
But you will be called the priests of the LORD; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will feed on the wealth of nations, and you will boast in their riches.
7 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa andũ akwa manaconorithio, makaarĩhĩrio maita meerĩ, na handũ ha thoni-rĩ, nĩmagakenera igai rĩao; na nĩ ũndũ ũcio makaagaya igai maita meerĩ bũrũri-inĩ wao, na magĩe na gĩkeno gĩtagathira nginya tene.
Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
8 “Nĩgũkorwo niĩ, Jehova, nĩnyendete ciira wa kĩhooto; nĩthũire ũtunyani na waganu. Nĩ ũndũ wa wĩhokeku wakwa-rĩ, nĩngamarĩha irĩhi rĩao, na ndĩĩkanĩre nao kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene.
For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Njiaro ciao nĩikaagĩa igweta ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ciana ciao imenywo nĩ andũ a ndũrĩrĩ. Arĩa othe makaamoona nĩmagetĩkĩra atĩ acio nĩo andũ arĩa Jehova arathimĩte.”
Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.
10 Niĩ nĩngenagĩra Jehova mũno; ngoro yakwa ĩcanjamũkaga nĩ ũndũ wa Ngai wakwa. Nĩgũkorwo nĩahumbĩte ũhonokio ta nguo, na akaahumba nguo ndaaya ya ũthingu, o ta ũrĩa mũhikania agemagia mũtwe wake na kĩremba taarĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, na ta ũrĩa mũhiki egemagia na mathaga make ma goro.
I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa tĩĩri ũtũmaga mbegũ imere, na mũgũnda ũgatũma mbegũ ikũre-rĩ, ũguo noguo Mwathani Jehova agaatũma ũthingu na ũgooci ciumĩre cionekane nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
