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 upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that 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,
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that 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 appoint to them that mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees 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.
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 Nao ageni nĩmakarĩithagia ndũũru cianyu; nao andũ a kũngĩ marĩmage mĩgũnda yanyu, o na maceehage mĩthabibũ yanyu.
And foreigners shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your 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 ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
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.
For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be to them.
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 judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, 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.”
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath 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 the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth 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 bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
