< Isaia 63 >

1 Nũũ ũyũ ũroka oimĩte Edomu, akoima itũũra rĩa Bozara ehumbĩte nguo ndune ta thakame? Nũũ ũyũ wĩhumbĩte nguo irĩ na ũkengu, agĩkinyũkagia arĩ na hinya wa ũnene wake? “Nĩ niĩ, ngĩaragia ndeto cia ũthingu, na ndĩ na hinya wa kũhonokania.”
Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments? Who is this robed in splendor, marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.”
2 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte nguo ciaku itunĩhe, ta cia mũndũ ũraranga kĩhihĩro kĩa ndibei?
Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress?
3 “Niĩ-rĩ, nĩnangĩte kĩhihĩro kĩa ndibei ndĩ nyiki; gũtirĩ mũndũ wa kuuma kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ o na ũmwe twarĩ nake. Ndamakinyĩrĩirie ndĩ na marakara, na ngĩmarangĩrĩria thĩ ndĩ na mangʼũrĩ; nayo thakame yao ĩkĩminjũkĩra nguo ciakwa, nacio ciothe ikĩgĩa na marooro mayo.
“I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.
4 Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa kũrĩhanĩria warĩ ngoro-inĩ yakwa, naguo mwaka wa gũkũũra andũ akwa nĩmũkinyu.
For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redemption had come.
5 Niĩ nĩndacũthĩrĩirie, ngĩona atĩ hatiarĩ mũndũ wa kũndeithia, na ngĩgega tondũ gũtiarĩ na mũndũ wa kũndiirĩrĩra; nĩ ũndũ ũcio guoko gwakwa mwene nĩkuo kwahonokirie, namo mangʼũrĩ makwa mwene makĩndiirĩrĩra.
I looked, but there was no one to help; I was appalled that no one assisted. So My arm brought Me salvation, and My own wrath upheld Me.
6 Nĩndakinyĩrĩirie ndũrĩrĩ ndĩ na marakara, ngĩtũma ituĩke ta irĩĩtwo nĩ njoohi nĩ ũndũ wa mangʼũrĩ makwa, nayo thakame yao ngĩmĩita thĩ.”
I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.”
7 Nĩngũheana ũhoro wa motugi ma Jehova, o na ciĩko ciake iria itũmaga agoocwo, kũringana na maũndũ mothe marĩa Jehova atwĩkĩire: ĩĩ, nĩngũheana ũhoro wa maũndũ maingĩ mega marĩa eekĩire nyũmba ya Isiraeli, kũringana na tha ciake, na motugi make maingĩ.
I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us— the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.
8 Nĩ ũndũ oigire atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ acio nĩ andũ akwa, na nĩ ciana iria itakaheenia,” na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtuĩka Mũhonokia wao.
For He said, “They are surely My people, sons who will not be disloyal.” So He became their Savior.
9 Mathĩĩna-inĩ mao mothe o nake nĩathĩĩnĩkire, nake mũraika wake akĩmahonokia. Akĩmakũũra nĩ ũrĩa aamendete na akamaiguĩra tha, akĩmooya na agĩtũũra amakuuĩte matukũ mothe ma tene.
In all their distress, He too was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them. In His love and compassion He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
10 No rĩrĩ, nĩmamũremeire na makĩiguithia Roho wake Mũtheru ũũru. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmagarũrũka, agĩtuĩka thũ yao, nake we mwene akĩrũa mbaara nao.
But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He turned and became their enemy, and He Himself fought against them.
11 Ningĩ andũ acio ake makĩririkana matukũ ma tene, o hĩndĩ ya Musa na andũ ake, makĩũria atĩrĩ: Ũrĩa wamaringirie iria, hamwe na mũrĩithi wa rũũru rwake-rĩ, akĩrĩ ha? Ĩ we ũrĩa wareehire Roho Mũtheru gatagatĩ kao-rĩ, akĩrĩ ha?
Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses. Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is the One who set His Holy Spirit among them,
12 Ũrĩa watũmire guoko gwake kwa hinya na kũrĩ riiri gũikare mwena wa ũrĩo wa Musa, akĩrĩ ha? O we ũrĩa wagayũkanirie maaĩ mbere yao, nĩguo egĩĩre na igweta nginya tene,
who sent His glorious arm to lead them by the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain for Himself everlasting renown,
13 ũrĩa wamatongoreirie kũndũ kũu kũriku, akĩrĩ ha? O ta mbarathi igĩtwarĩrwo werũ-inĩ-rĩ, matiahĩngirwo;
who led them through the depths like a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
14 o ta ũrĩa ngʼombe ithiiaga kwarahio gĩtuamba-inĩ, noguo o nao maaheirwo ũhurũko nĩ Roho wa Jehova, Ũguo nĩguo watongoririe andũ aku nĩgeetha wĩgĩĩre rĩĩtwa rĩ na riiri.
Like cattle going down to the valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. You led Your people this way to make for Yourself a glorious name.
15 We ta cũthĩrĩria thĩ ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, wĩrorere, wone ũrĩa gũtariĩ ũrĩ gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩaku kĩu gĩtũũgĩru kĩa ũnene, o kĩu gĩtheru na kĩrĩ riiri. Kaĩ maũndũ maku marĩa wĩkaga ma kĩyo o na ma hinya makĩrĩ ha? Ũhoro wa ũrĩa ũtũiguagĩra tha na ũrĩa ũtũcakayagĩra ngoro-inĩ yaku-rĩ, nĩũgirĩtie ũtũkinyĩre.
Look down from heaven and see, from Your holy and glorious habitation. Where are Your zeal and might? Your yearning and compassion for me are restrained.
16 O na angĩkorwo Iburahĩmu ndatũũĩ, nake Isiraeli nĩatũkaanĩte-rĩ, Wee nĩwe Ithe witũ; Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩwe Ithe witũ, narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩaku nĩ Mũkũũri witũ kuuma tene.
Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.
17 Atĩrĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga ũtũrekererie tuume njĩra-inĩ ciaku, na ũkoomia ngoro ciitũ nĩguo twage gũgũtĩĩa? Garũrũka nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata ciaku, o mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo ĩtuĩkĩte igai rĩaku.
Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.
18 Andũ aku arĩa aamũre nĩmegwatĩire bũrũri ũyũ wamaheire ũgĩtuĩka wao o ihinda inini, no rĩu thũ ciitũ nĩcirangĩrĩirie handũ haku harĩa haamũre.
For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place, but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.
19 Ithuĩ tũrĩ andũ aku kuuma tene; no rĩrĩ, o ndũrĩ wamathamakĩra, o na matirĩ metanio na rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
We have become like those You never ruled, like those not called by Your name.
