< 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 Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until its righteousness shall go forth as brightness, and its salvation as a lamp that burneth.
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 shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
3 Ningĩ ũgaatuĩka ta tanji ya ũthaka ũnyiitĩtwo guoko-inĩ kwa Jehova, na ũhaana ta thũmbĩ ya ũthamaki ĩnyiitĩtwo guoko-inĩ kwa Ngai waku.
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy 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.
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
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 as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 Nĩnjigĩte arangĩri a thingo ciaku, wee Jerusalemu, nao matigakira mũthenya kana ũtukũ. Inyuĩ arĩa mũkayagĩra Jehova-rĩ, mũtikanahurũke,
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7 o na kana mũmũhe ũhurũko nginya rĩrĩa akahaanda Jerusalemu, na arĩtue itũũra rĩrĩ igweta thĩ yothe.
And give him no rest, till he shall establish, and till he shall make Jerusalem a praise in 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 hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thy enemies; and the sons of the foreigner shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured:
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.”
But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
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.
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard 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 hath proclaimed to the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; 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 shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
