< Isaia 62 >
1 Ha ũhoro wa kũrũĩrĩra Zayuni-rĩ, ndigakira, o na kana ndigithĩrie gũtetera Jerusalemu, nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũthingu wake ũkaara o ta ũtheri wa rũciinĩ, naguo ũhoro wake wa kũhonokio wonekane o ta tawa ũrĩa ũrĩrĩmbũkaga.
For the sake of Zion, I will not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest, until her Just One advances in splendor, and her Savior is kindled like a lamp.
2 Ndũrĩrĩ nĩikoona ũthingu waku, nao athamaki othe mone riiri waku; nawe ũgeetagwo na rĩĩtwa rĩerũ, rĩrĩa rĩkaagwetwo na kanua ka Jehova.
And the Gentiles will see your Just One, and all the kings will see your Renowned One. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will choose.
3 Ningĩ ũgaatuĩka ta tanji ya ũthaka ũnyiitĩtwo guoko-inĩ kwa Jehova, na ũhaana ta thũmbĩ ya ũthamaki ĩnyiitĩtwo guoko-inĩ kwa Ngai waku.
And you shall be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 Wee ndũgacooka gwĩtwo Mũtiganĩrie, kana bũrũri waku wĩtwo Mũkiri-Ihooru. No rĩrĩ, ũrĩĩtagwo Hefiziba, na bũrũri waku wĩtagwo Beula; nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagakenagio nĩwe, naguo bũrũri waku ũgaatuĩka o ta mũhiki ũhikĩtio.
You will no longer be called Forsaken. And your land will no longer be called Desolate. Instead, you shall be called My Will within it, and your land shall be called Inhabited. For the Lord has been well pleased with you, and your land will be inhabited.
5 O ta ũrĩa mwanake ahikagia mũirĩtu, ũguo noguo ariũ aku magaakũhikia; na o ta ũrĩa mũhikania akenagĩrĩra mũhiki wake, ũguo noguo Ngai waku agaagũkenerera.
For the young man will live with the virgin, and your children will live with you. And the groom will rejoice over the bride, and your God will rejoice over you.
6 Nĩnjigĩte arangĩri a thingo ciaku, wee Jerusalemu, nao matigakira mũthenya kana ũtukũ. Inyuĩ arĩa mũkayagĩra Jehova-rĩ, mũtikanahurũke,
Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have stationed watchmen all day and all night unceasingly; they will not be silent. You who are mindful of the Lord, you should not be silent,
7 o na kana mũmũhe ũhurũko nginya rĩrĩa akahaanda Jerusalemu, na arĩtue itũũra rĩrĩ igweta thĩ yothe.
and you should not grant silence to him, until he makes firm and establishes Jerusalem as a praise upon the earth.
8 Jehova nĩehĩtĩte ambararĩtie guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, na akehĩta na guoko gwake kũrĩ hinya, akoiga atĩrĩ: “Ndigacooka kũhe thũ ciaku ngano yaku ĩtuĩke irio ciao, na gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ andũ a kũngĩ makaanyua ndibei ya mũhihano ĩrĩa wee ũrutĩire wĩra;
The Lord has sworn with his right hand and with the arm of his strength: “Certainly, I will no longer permit your grain to be the food of your enemies. And the sons of foreigners will not drink your wine, for which you have labored.”
9 no rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa marĩgethaga ngano nĩo marĩmĩrĩĩaga, na magoocage Jehova, nao arĩa monganagia thabibũ nĩo marĩnyuuaga ndibei yacio maikarĩte nja ya handũ hakwa harĩa haamũre.”
For those who gather it will eat it, and they will praise the Lord. And those who bring it together will drink it in my holy courts.
10 Hĩtũkĩrai, mũhĩtũkĩre ihingo-inĩ, mumagare! Thondekerai andũ njĩra. Akaai, mwake njĩra njariĩ! Ũnganiai mahiga, mũmeherie kuo. Ambarariai bendera na igũrũ nĩguo yonwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ.
Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare a way for the people! Make the road level, remove the stones, and lift up a sign for the people!
11 Jehova nĩanĩrĩire ũhoro ũyũ ituri-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ, akoiga atĩrĩ: “Ĩrai Mwarĩ wa Zayuni ũũ, ‘Atĩrĩrĩ ũrĩa ũgaakũhonokia nĩarooka! Arooka arĩ na kĩheo gĩake, na irĩhi rĩake arĩ o narĩo.’”
Behold, the Lord has caused it to be heard to the ends of the earth. Tell the daughter of Zion: “Behold, your Savior approaches! Behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.”
12 Acio marĩĩtagwo Andũ arĩa Aamũre, o arĩa Jehova Akũũrĩte; nawe ũrĩĩtagwo Wa Kwendeka, Itũũra-Inene-rĩrĩa-Rĩtagacooka-Gũthaamwo.
And they will call them: The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord. Then you will be called: A city sought, and not forsaken.
