2 nĩngacookanĩrĩria ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na ndĩciikũrũkie nginya Gĩtuamba kĩa Jehoshafatu. Kũu nĩkuo ngaamatuĩra ciira ũkoniĩ igai rĩakwa, nĩo andũ akwa a Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo nĩmahurunjire andũ akwa ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na makĩgayana bũrũri wakwa.
And I will gather all the nations and I will bring down them to [the] valley of Jehoshaphat and I will enter into judgment with them there on people my and inheritance my Israel which they have scattered among the nations and land my they have divided up.
3 Nĩmacuukĩire andũ akwa mĩtĩ. Maaheanire tũmwana twao tũrĩ irĩhi kũrĩ maraya; na makĩendia airĩtu ndibei nĩguo mamĩnyue.
And to people my they have cast a lot and they have exchanged the boy for the prostitute and the girl they have sold for wine and they have drunk.
4 “Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kĩĩ mũranjũria, inyuĩ Turo na Sidoni o na inyuĩ ngʼongo ciothe cia Filistia? Anga nĩmũkwĩrĩhĩria ũndũ ndanamwĩka? Akorwo nĩmũkwĩrĩhĩria-rĩ, na niĩ nĩngatũma mũcookererwo nĩ kwĩrĩhĩria kũu kwanyu o narua na ihenya.

5 Nĩgũkorwo nĩmuoire betha na thahabu ciakwa, na mũgĩkuua mĩthiithũ ya indo ciakwa iria njega mũno mũgĩcitwara hekarũ-inĩ cianyu.
That silver my and gold my you took and desirable things my good you took to own temples your.
6 Nĩmwendirie andũ a Juda na a Jerusalemu kũrĩ Ayunani nĩguo mũmatware kũndũ kũraya na bũrũri wao.
And [the] people of Judah and [the] people of Jerusalem you sold to [the] people of the Greeks so as to remove far away them from on own territory their.
7 “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngũmarahũra moime kũndũ kũrĩa guothe mwamendirie, na nĩngamũcookereria ũndũ ũcio mwĩkĩte.
Here I [am] about to rouse them from the place where you sold them there and I will return recompense your on head your.
8 Niĩ nĩngendia ariũ anyu na airĩtu anyu kũrĩ andũ a Juda, nao mamenderie andũ a Sheba, rũrĩrĩ rwa kũraya mũno.” Nĩ Jehova warĩtie ũndũ ũcio.
And I will sell sons your and daughters your in [the] hand of [the] people of Judah and they will sell them to [the] Sabeans to a nation distant for Yahweh he has spoken.
9 Hunjanĩriai ũhoro ũyũ ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ: Mwĩhaarĩriei gũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ! Arahũrai njamba cia ita! Andũ othe a ita nĩmakuhĩrĩrie, matharĩkĩre.

10 Turai mĩraũ yanyu ĩtuĩke hiũ cia njora, o nacio hiũ cianyu cia gũceeha mĩtĩ ituĩke matimũ. Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ hinya nĩoige atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ na hinya!”
Beat plowshares your into swords and pruning knives your into spears the weak [man] let him say [am] a warrior I.
11 Ũkai na ihenya, inyuĩ ndũrĩrĩ cia kũndũ guothe, mũngane, mwĩcookanĩrĩrie hamwe. Wee Jehova, tũma njamba ciaku cia ita ciikũrũke kuo.
Hurry and come O all the nations from round about and they will gather there bring down O Yahweh warriors your.
12 “Ndũrĩrĩ nĩciarahũrwo; nĩcithiĩ Gĩtuamba kĩa Jehoshafatu, nĩgũkorwo kũu nĩkuo ngaikarĩra gĩtĩ, nduĩre ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia mĩena yothe ciira.
Let them be roused and they may go up the nations to [the] valley of Jehoshaphat for there I will sit to judge all the nations from round about.
13 Hiũria-i rũhiũ rwa kũgetha, nĩgũkorwo magetha nĩ makinyu. Ũkai, rangĩrĩriai thabibũ, nĩgũkorwo kĩhihĩro kĩa ndibei nĩkĩiyũru, na mĩtũngi ĩkaiyũra, ĩgaitĩkĩrĩra thĩ: ũguo noguo waganu wao ũnenehete!”
Send out [the] sickle for it has grown ripe [the] harvest come tread for it is full [the] winepress they are overflowing the wine-vats for [is] great evil their.
14 Gũgaakorwo irĩndĩ na irĩndĩ, kũu gĩtuamba gĩa ituĩro! Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa Jehova wa gũkinya kũu gĩtuamba gĩa ituĩro ũrĩ hakuhĩ.
Multitudes multitudes [are] in [the] valley of decision for [is] near [the] day of Yahweh in [the] valley of decision.
15 Riũa na mweri nĩikaagĩa nduma, nacio njata itigacooka kwara rĩngĩ.
Sun and moon they have become dark and [the] stars they have withdrawn brightness their.
16 Jehova nĩakararama arĩ kũu Zayuni na arurume ta ngwa arĩ Jerusalemu; thĩ na igũrũ nĩikainaina. No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩwe ũgaatuĩka rĩũrĩro rĩa andũ ake, na atuĩke kĩĩhitho kĩrũmu kĩa andũ a Isiraeli.
And Yahweh from Zion he will roar and from Jerusalem he will give forth voice his and they will shake heaven and earth and Yahweh [will be] a refuge for people his and a stronghold for [the] people of Israel.
17 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo mũkaamenya atĩ niĩ, Jehova Ngai wanyu, ndũũraga Zayuni, kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa kĩrĩa gĩtheru. Narĩo itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩgaakorwo rĩrĩ rĩamũre; gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ andũ a kũngĩ magaacooka kũrĩtharĩkĩra.
And you will know that I [am] Yahweh God your [who] dwells in Zion [the] mountain of holiness my and it will be Jerusalem a holy place and strangers not they will pass in it again.
18 “Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, irĩma-inĩ nĩgũgatataga ndibei ya mũhihano, na tũrĩma-inĩ nĩgũgathereraga iria, natuo tũrũũĩ tuothe twa Juda nĩtũgathereraga maaĩ. Nakuo nyũmba ya Jehova nĩgũgakunũka gĩthima, na maaĩ makĩo maikũrũkage o kũu Gĩtuamba gĩa Shitimu.
And it will be on the day that they will drip the mountains sweet wine and the hills they will go milk and all [the] ravines of Judah they will go water and a spring from [the] house of Yahweh it will go forth and it will water [the] wadi of Shittim.
19 No bũrũri wa Misiri nĩgũkira ũgaakira ihooru, nakuo Edomu gũtuĩke werũ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ ma ũhinya marĩa meekire andũ a Juda, ma gũitithia thakame ĩtarĩ na ũũru kũu bũrũri wao.
Egypt a desolation it will become and Edom a wilderness of desolation it will become from [the] violence of [the] people of Judah whom they shed blood innocent in land their.
20 Juda gũgaatũũrwo tene na tene, nakuo Jerusalemu gũtũũrwo njiarwa na njiarwa.
And Judah for ever it will remain and Jerusalem to a generation and a generation.
21 Wĩhia wao wa ũiti wa thakame, ũcio itarĩ ndaamarekera-rĩ, nĩngamarekera.” Jehova atũũraga Zayuni!
And I will leave unpunished blood their [which] not I left unpunished and Yahweh [is] dwelling in Zion.
