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, who arrives from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah? This is the Handsome One in his robe, advancing by the fullness of his strength. It is I, the Speaker of Justice, and I am the Fighter for Salvation.
2 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte nguo ciaku itunĩhe, ta cia mũndũ ũraranga kĩhihĩro kĩa ndibei?
So then, why is your garment red, and why are your vestments like the ones of those who tread 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 trod the winepress alone. And among the nations, there is no man beside me. I have trampled on them in my fury, and I have tread them down in my wrath. And so, their blood has been sprinkled on my vestments, and I have stained all my garments.
4 Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa kũrĩhanĩria warĩ ngoro-inĩ yakwa, naguo mwaka wa gũkũũra andũ akwa nĩmũkinyu.
For the day of vengeance is in my heart. The year of my redemption has arrived.
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 gazed around, and there was no one to assist. I sought, and there was no one who would help. And so, my own arm has saved for me, and my own wrath itself has assisted me.
6 Nĩndakinyĩrĩirie ndũrĩrĩ ndĩ na marakara, ngĩtũma ituĩke ta irĩĩtwo nĩ njoohi nĩ ũndũ wa mangʼũrĩ makwa, nayo thakame yao ngĩmĩita thĩ.”
And I have trampled the peoples in my fury, and I have inebriated them with my indignation, and I have torn down their strength to 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 remember the compassion of the Lord, the praise of the Lord over all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and over the multitude of his good things for the house of Israel, which he has granted to them according to his leniency, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
8 Nĩ ũndũ oigire atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ acio nĩ andũ akwa, na nĩ ciana iria itakaheenia,” na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtuĩka Mũhonokia wao.
And he said: “Yet truly, these are my people, sons who have not been disowned.” And 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.
Throughout all their tribulation, he was not troubled, for the Angel of his presence saved them. With his love, and by his leniency, he has redeemed them, and he has carried them and lifted them up, throughout all the days of the ages.
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 themselves provoked to wrath and afflicted his Holy Spirit, and he was turned to be for them like an enemy, and he himself went to war 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?
And he remembered the days of ancient times, the days of Moses and his people. Where is he who led them out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who placed his Holy Spirit in their midst?
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,
He led Moses by the right hand, with the arm of his majesty. He split the waters before them, in order to make an everlasting name for himself.
13 ũrĩa wamatongoreirie kũndũ kũu kũriku, akĩrĩ ha? O ta mbarathi igĩtwarĩrwo werũ-inĩ-rĩ, matiahĩngirwo;
He led them through the abyss, like a horse which does not stumble, in the desert.
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 an animal who descends to an open field, the Spirit of the Lord was their guide. Thus did you lead your people, in order to make a glorious name for yourself.
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.
Gaze down from heaven, and behold from your holy habitation and from your glory. Where is your zeal, and your strength, the fullness of your heart and of your compassion? They have held themselves back from me.
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.
For you are our Father, and Abraham has not known us, and Israel has been ignorant of us. You are our Father, O Lord our Redeemer. Your name is beyond all ages.
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 have you allowed us to stray from your ways, O Lord? Why have you hardened our heart, so that we do not fear you? Return, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.
18 Andũ aku arĩa aamũre nĩmegwatĩire bũrũri ũyũ wamaheire ũgĩtuĩka wao o ihinda inini, no rĩu thũ ciitũ nĩcirangĩrĩirie handũ haku harĩa haamũre.
They have possessed your holy people as if it were nothing. 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 as we were in the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and when we were not called by your name.
