1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩkoniĩ Isiraeli. Jehova, ũrĩa watambũrũkirie igũrũ, na akĩhaanda gĩtina gĩa thĩ ĩno, o na akĩũmba roho thĩinĩ wa mũndũ, ekuuga ũũ:
The burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel. [Thus] saith Jehovah, who stretcheth out the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him:
2 “Nĩngũtua Jerusalemu ta gĩkombe kĩa ndibei gĩa gũtũma arĩa othe magũthiũrũrũkĩirie matũgũũge. Juda o ũndũ ũmwe na Jerusalemu nĩgũkarigiicĩrio nĩ thũ.
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of bewilderment unto all the peoples round about, and also against Judah shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem.
3 Mũthenya ũcio, rĩrĩa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ igaacookanĩrĩra irĩũkĩrĩre, nĩngatua Jerusalemu ihiga rĩtangĩenyenyeka kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe. Arĩa othe makaageria kũrĩenyenyia nĩmakeguraria mũno.
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone unto all peoples: all that burden themselves with it shall certainly be wounded, and all the nations of the earth shall be assembled together against it.
4 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngamakia mbarathi o yothe ĩhahũke, nake mũmĩhaici ndũme agũrũke,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩngarangĩra nyũmba ya Juda, no mbarathi ciothe cia ndũrĩrĩ ndĩcitue ndumumu.
In that day, saith Jehovah, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness; but I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo atongoria a Juda makeĩĩra na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ a Jerusalemu nĩmagĩte na hinya nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wao.’
And the leaders of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength through Jehovah of hosts their God.
6 “Mũthenya ũcio nĩngatũma atongoria a Juda mahaane ta nyũngũ ĩiyũrĩte mwaki ĩrĩ riiko, na ndũme mahaane ta gĩcinga gĩgwakana kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa itĩĩa cia ngano. Makaaniina andũ arĩa othe marĩthiũrũrũkĩirie mwena wa ũrĩo na mwena wa ũmotho, no rĩrĩ, andũ a Jerusalemu matigaakorwo na ũgwati o na hanini marĩ kũu Jerusalemu.
In that day will I make the leaders of Judah like a hearth of fire among wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall dwell again in her own place, in Jerusalem.
7 “Jehova akaamba kũhonokia andũ arĩa matũũraga Juda, nĩgeetha gĩtĩĩo kĩa nyũmba ya Daudi na kĩa aikari a Jerusalemu gĩtikananenehe gũkĩra kĩa andũ a Juda.
And Jehovah shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified over Judah.
8 Mũthenya ũcio Jehova nĩakagitĩra andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu, nĩgeetha arĩa maagĩte hinya mũno gatagatĩ-inĩ kao makahaana ta Daudi, nayo nyũmba ya Daudi ĩkahaana o ta Ngai, ĩhaane ta mũraika wa Jehova amatongoretie.
In that day will Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that stumbleth among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David as God, as the Angel of Jehovah before them.
9 Mũthenya ũcio nĩngoimagara nganiine ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria igookĩrĩra itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 “Na nĩngaitĩrĩria nyũmba ya Daudi na arĩa othe matũũraga itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu roho wa gũtugana na wagũthaithana. Nao nĩmakerorera ũrĩa maathecire, na nĩmakamũrĩrĩra marĩ na ruo o ta ũrĩa mũndũ arĩragĩra mwana wa mũmwe, na magĩe na kĩeha kĩnene o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ethikagĩra akuĩrĩirwo nĩ mwana wake wa irigithathi.
And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications; and they shall look on me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for an only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.
11 Mũthenya ũcio nĩgũgakorwo kĩrĩro kĩnene kũu Jerusalemu, o ta kĩrĩro kĩrĩa kĩarĩ Hadadi-Rimoni o kũu werũ-inĩ wa Megido.
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 Bũrũri ũcio nĩũkagĩa na kĩrĩro, o mbarĩ o mbarĩ ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki: mbarĩ ya nyũmba ya Daudi ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki na atumia ao marĩ oiki, mbarĩ ya nyũmba ya Nathani ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki,
And the land shall mourn, every family apart: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 na mbarĩ ya nyũmba ya Lawi ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki, mbarĩ ya Shimei ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki,
the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 na mbarĩ icio ingĩ ciothe itigaire o mbarĩ o mbarĩ ĩrĩre ĩrĩ iiki, na atumia ao marĩ oiki.
all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
