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 Yahweh is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to proclaim good news to the afflicted. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison for those who are bound.
2 na hunjanagĩrie ũhoro wa mwaka ũrĩa Jehova akoonania ũtugi wake, na mũthenya ũrĩa Ngai witũ akerĩhĩria, ningĩ hooragĩrie arĩa othe marĩ na kĩeha,
He has sent me to proclaim the year of Yahweh's favor, the day of vengeance of our God, and 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.
He has sent me—to give to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a turban instead of ashes, oil of joy instead of mourning, a mantle of praise in place of a spirit of dullness, to call them oaks of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, 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 former desolations. They will restore the ruined cities, the desolations from many former generations.
5 Nao ageni nĩmakarĩithagia ndũũru cianyu; nao andũ a kũngĩ marĩmage mĩgũnda yanyu, o na maceehage mĩthabibũ yanyu.
Foreigners will stand and feed your flocks, and sons of foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
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.
You will be called the priests of Yahweh; they will call you servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the 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 your shame you will have double; and instead of dishonor they will rejoice over their share. So they will have a double share of their land; 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, Yahweh, love justice, and I hate robbery and violent injustice. I will faithfully repay them, and I will 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 them, that they are the people whom Yahweh 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 greatly rejoice in Yahweh; in my God I will be very glad. For he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has clothed me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns himself with a turban, and 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 produces its sprouting plants, and as the garden makes its planting grow, so the Lord Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up in front of all the nations.
