Isaia 7
1 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ahazu mũrũ wa Jothamu, mũrũ wa Uzia, aarĩ mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, Rezini mũthamaki wa Suriata marĩ na Peka mũrũ wa Remalia mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, makĩambata mathiĩ magatharĩkĩre itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, no matiigana kũrĩtooria.
And it came to pass in the days of Achaz the son of Jotham, the son of 'Uzziyahu, the king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekach the son of Remalyahu, the king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it; but were not able to make an attack upon it.
2 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a nyũmba ya Daudi nĩ meerirwo atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Suriata nĩmanyiitanĩte na andũ a Efiraimu”; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro ya Ahazu o na ngoro cia andũ ake ikĩinaina o ta ũrĩa mĩtĩ ya mũtitũ ĩinainagio nĩ rũhuho.
And it was told unto the house of David, saying, Syria is encamped with Ephraim; and his heart trembled, with the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are shaken before the wind.
3 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova akĩĩra Isaia atĩrĩ, “Umagara, wee mũrĩ na mũrũguo Sheari-Jashubu, mũthiĩ mũgatũnge Ahazu mũthia-inĩ wa mũtaro ũrĩa uumĩte Karia-inĩ ka Rũgongo, njĩra-inĩ ya gũthiĩ Gĩthaka kĩa Mũthambia-Nguo.
And the Lord said unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Achaz, thou with Shear-yashub thy son, to the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the washer's field;
4 Ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩmenyerere, ũikare ũhooreire na ndũgetigĩre. Ndũkareke ũũrwo nĩ hinya nĩ ũndũ wa icinga icio igĩrĩ iratooga ndogo; ndũgetigĩre marakara mahiũ ma Rezini, na ma Suriata, o na ma mũrũ wa Remalia.
And thou shalt say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, and let thy heart not become faint because of these two stumps of smoking firebrands, before the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remalyahu.
5 Suriata, na Efiraimu, na mũrũ wa Remalia nĩmaciirĩire gũkwananga, makoiga atĩrĩ,
Forasmuch as Syria, [with] Ephraim and the son of Remalyahu, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6 “Nĩtũtharĩkĩre Juda, tũkũnyariire na tũkũgayane, na tũtue mũrũ wa Tabeeli mũthamaki wakuo.”
Let us go up against Judah, and besiege it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up as king in the midst of it the son of Tabeal:
7 No rĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Ũhoro ũcio ndũgaakinyanĩra, na ndũgekĩka,
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, It shall not succeed, and it shall not come to pass.
8 nĩgũkorwo itũũra inene rĩa Suriata nĩ Dameski, na mũnene wa Dameski no Rezini. Ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtandatũ na ĩtano ĩtaanathira-rĩ, andũ a Efiraimu magaakorwo maharaganĩtio ũndũ matangĩcooka gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ.
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin: and within sixty and five years shall Ephraim be broken, to be no more a people.
9 Ningĩ itũũra inene rĩa Efiraimu nĩ Samaria, na mũnene wa Samaria no mũrũ wa Remalia. Mũngĩaga kũrũgama mũrũmĩte wega wĩtĩkio-inĩ wanyu-rĩ, mũtikehaanda o na atĩa.’”
And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remalyahu's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not have permanence.
10 Ningĩ Jehova nĩarĩirie Ahazu o rĩngĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
And the Lord continued to speak unto Achaz, saying,
11 “Ĩtia kĩmenyithia kuuma kũrĩ Jehova Ngai waku, o na kiumĩte kũndũ kũrĩa kũriku mũno, kana kiumĩte igũrũ kũrĩa kũraihu mũno.” (Sheol h7585)
Ask thee a sign from the Lord thy God; ask it in the depth, or high up above. (Sheol h7585)
12 No Ahazu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndigwĩtia; niĩ ndikũgeria Jehova.”
But Achaz said, I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord.
13 Ningĩ Isaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta iguai rĩu, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Daudi! Anga mũkuona arĩ ũndũ mũnini kũgeria ũkirĩrĩria wa andũ? Anga nĩmũũkũgeria ũkirĩrĩria wa Ngai wakwa o naguo?
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that ye will weary also my God?
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Mwathani we mwene nĩakamũhe kĩmenyithia: Nĩgũkorwo mũirĩtu gathirange nĩakagĩa nda aciare kahĩĩ, nake agatue Imanueli.
Therefore will the Lord himself give you a sign: behold, this young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and she shall call his name 'Immanu-el, [God with us].
15 Iria imata na ũũkĩ nĩcio gakarĩĩaga rĩrĩa gakaamenya kũrega ũũru na gwĩthuurĩra maũndũ marĩa mega.
Cream and honey shall he eat, so soon as he knoweth to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.
16 No mbere ya kahĩĩ kau kũmenya kũrega ũũru na gwĩthuurĩra maũndũ marĩa mega-rĩ, bũrũri ũcio wa athamaki acio eerĩ wĩtigĩrĩte nĩũkanangwo.
For before yet the child shall know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good, shall be forsaken the land, of the kings of which thou feelest dread.
17 Jehova nĩagakũrehithĩria wee mwene na andũ aku, o na andũ a nyũmba ya thoguo maũndũ matarĩ moneka kuuma rĩrĩa Efiraimu aatiganire na Juda; Jehova akaarehera mũthamaki wa Ashuri.”
The Lord will bring over thee, and over thy people, and over thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim withdrew from Judah, —the king of Assyria.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova nĩakahuuhĩra ngi mĩrũri, aciĩte kuuma tũrũũĩ-inĩ twa kũraya twa bũrũri wa Misiri, na eete njũkĩ iria irĩ bũrũri wa Ashuri.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will call for the fly that is in the uttermost end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
19 Nacio ciothe nĩcigooka ciikare iharũrũka-inĩ cia mĩkuru, na mĩatũka-inĩ ya ndwaro cia mahiga, na ihinga-inĩ ciothe cia mĩigua, na marima-inĩ mothe ma maaĩ.
And they shall come, and shall encamp, all of them, in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn-hedges, and upon all bushes.
20 Mũthenya ũcio Mwathani nĩakahũthĩra rwenji rũkomboretwo kuuma mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Farati; naruo nĩruo mũthamaki wa Ashuri; nake nĩakenja mĩtwe yanyu na njuĩrĩ cia magũrũ manyu, o na ningĩ enje nderu cianyu.
On the same day will the Lord shave with the razor that is hired, from among those on the other side of the river, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and also the beard shall it entirely remove.
21 Mũthenya ũcio, mũndũ akaarĩithia o moori ĩmwe na ngʼondu igĩrĩ.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that a man shall nourish [but] one young cow, and two sheep;
22 Na tondũ wa ũingĩ wa iria rĩrĩa igaakamagwo-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio akaanyuuaga iria imata. Arĩa othe magaatigara kũu bũrũri ũcio makaanyuuaga iria imata, na marĩĩage ũũkĩ.
And it shall happen, that for the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat cream; for cream and honey shall eat every one that is left in the midst of the land.
23 Mũthenya ũcio, kũndũ kũrĩa guothe kwarĩ mĩthabibũ 1,000 ĩngĩendirio cekeri 1,000 ya betha, gũgaakũra o congʼe na mĩtĩ ya mĩigua.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that every place, where there are [now] a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, shall be, —yea, this shall be [given up] to briers and thorns.
24 Andũ magaathiiaga kuo marĩ na ũta na mĩguĩ, nĩgũkorwo bũrũri ũcio ũkaiyũra congʼe, na mĩtĩ ya mĩigua.
With arrows and with bows shall men enter thither; because all the land shall become [covered with] briers and thorns.
25 Nakuo irĩma-inĩ guothe kũrĩa kwanarĩmwo na icembe, mũtigacooka gũthiĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra congʼe, na mĩtĩ ya mĩigua; kũndũ kũu gũgaatuĩka gwa kũrĩithagio ngʼombe, na gwa kũrangagwo nĩ ndũũru cia ngʼondu.
And all mountains that are worked with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: and they shall serve for the pasture of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.
