1 Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyũkĩrĩire bũrũri wa Hadaraka, na ĩgakinyĩrĩra Dameski: nĩgũkorwo maitho ma andũ, na ma mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli macũthĩrĩirie Jehova,
The oracle of the word of Yahweh on the land of Hadrach, and, Damascus, shall be the resting-place thereof, —For, Yahweh, hath an eye—to mankind, and to all the tribes of Israel;
2 na ĩgakinyĩrĩra Hamathu o nakuo, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩhakanĩte nakuo, o na ĩgakinyĩrĩra Turo na Sidoni, o na gũtuĩka andũ akuo maarĩ oogĩ mũno.
Moreover also, Hamath, adjoineth thereto, Tyre and Zidon, —because very wise;
3 Andũ a Turo nĩmeyakĩire kĩĩgitĩro kĩrũmu, na makeigĩra hĩba cia betha nyingĩ ta rũkũngũ, na thahabu nyingĩ ta mahuti ma njĩra-inĩ.
Therefore did Tyre build a stronghold for herself, —and did heap up silver like dust, yea gold, like the mire of the lanes.
4 No rĩrĩ, Mwathani nĩakarĩtunya ũtonga warĩo, na aanange ũhoti warĩo wa iria-inĩ, narĩo itũũra rĩu nĩrĩgacinwo na mwaki.
Lo! My Lord, shall dispossess her, and smite, into the sea, her fortress, —and, she herself, in fire, shall be consumed.
5 Ashikeloni nĩrĩkeyonera ũhoro ũcio na rĩĩtigĩre, Gaza nĩrĩkehũũrithania nĩ ruo rũnene, o na Ekironi o narĩo, nĩgũkorwo mwĩhoko warĩo nĩũkahooha. Gaza nĩrĩkoorwo nĩ mũthamaki warĩo, narĩo Ashikeloni nĩrĩgathaamwo.
Ashkelon, shall see, and fear, Gaza, also, which shall writhe in great anguish, Ekron, also, because abashed is her expectation, —and the king, shall perish, from Gaza, and, Ashkelon, not be inhabited;
6 Andũ a bũrũri ũngĩ nĩmagatũũra Ashidodi, na niĩ nĩnganiina mwĩtĩĩo wa Afilisti.
And there shall be seated a half-breed in Ashdod, —So will I cut off the arrogance of the Philistines;
7 Nĩngaruta thakame tũnua-inĩ twao, na irio iria ngaananie ndĩcirute gatagatĩ ka magego mao. Andũ arĩa magaatigara magaatuĩka a Ngai witũ, na matuĩke atongoria a Juda, nao andũ a Ekironi makahaana ta andũ a Jebusi.
And will take away his reeking prey out of his mouth, and his abominations, from between his teeth, but, he that is left, even he, shall belong to our God, —So shall he become as a chief in Judah, and, Ekron, as a Jebusite!
8 Na rĩrĩ, nĩngagitĩra nyũmba yakwa kuuma kũrĩ mbũtũ iria imarehagĩra mbaara. Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ mũhinyanĩrĩria agaacooka gũtooria andũ akwa, nĩgũkorwo rĩu nĩndĩĩoneire ũrĩa maanahinyĩrĩrio.
Then will I encamp about my house—against an army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, neither shall an exactor, tread them down any more, —for, now, have I seen with mine own eyes.
9 Kena mũno, wee Mwarĩ wa Zayuni! Anĩrĩra, wee Mwarĩ wa Jerusalemu! Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthamaki waku nĩarooka kũrĩ we, nĩ mũthingu na arĩ na ũhonokio, nĩ mũhooreri na akuuĩtwo nĩ ndigiri, agaikarĩra njaũ ya ndigiri.
Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he, —lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young ass.
10 Nĩngeheria ngaari cia ita kuuma Efiraimu, na njeherie mbarathi cia mbaara kuuma Jerusalemu, naguo ũta wa mbaara-rĩ, nĩũkoinangwo. Nake aanĩrĩre thayũ ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ. Wathani wake-rĩ, ũgaatambũrũka kuuma iria rĩmwe nginya rĩrĩa rĩngĩ, na kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Farati o nginya ituri cia thĩ.
So will he cut off the chariot out of Ephraim, and the horse out of Jerusalem, and the war-bow, shall be cut off, So shall he speak peace to the nations, and, his dominion, shall be from sea to sea, and from the river [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.
11 No ha ũhoro waku-rĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa thakame ya kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndarĩkanĩire nawe, nĩngoohorithia andũ aku arĩa mohetwo, moime irima rĩu rĩtarĩ maaĩ.
As for thee also, —By the blood of thy covenant, have I sent forth thy prisoners out of a pit, wherein is no water.
12 Cookai kĩĩhitho-inĩ kĩanyu kĩrĩa kĩrũmu, inyuĩ muohetwo mũrĩ na mwĩhoko; o na rĩu nguuga atĩrĩ, nĩngamũcookeria indo cianyu maita meerĩ.
Return to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope, —Even to-day, do I declare—Double, will I return to thee!
13 Ngaagonya Juda o taarĩ ũta wakwa, nake Efiraimu atuĩke ta mĩguĩ ya ũta ũcio, ndĩmaiyũrie kuo. Nĩngarahũra ariũ aku, wee Zayuni, mokĩrĩre ariũ aku wee Mũyunani, na ngũtue ta rũhiũ rwa njora rwa njamba ĩrĩ hinya.
For I have bent for me—Judah, As a bow, have I grasped Ephraim, Thus will I rouse up thy sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty one.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova nĩakoonwo arĩ igũrũ rĩao; mũguĩ wake ũkaarathũka ta rũheni. Mwathani Jehova nĩakahuha karumbeta; agaathiĩ arĩ ihuhũkanio-inĩ cia mwena wa gũthini,
But, Yahweh, over them, will appear, and forth shall go, as lightning, his arrow, —Yea, My Lord Yahweh, with a horn, will blow, and will move along in the whirlwinds of the south.
15 nake Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩakamagitĩra. Nao makaamaniina biũ, na matooranie na kũmahũũra na mahiga ma kĩgũtha. Makaanyua na manegene ta marĩĩtwo nĩ ndibei; makaiyũrĩrĩrio ta mbakũri ĩrĩa ĩhũthagĩrwo kũminjaminjĩria koine cia kĩgongona.
Yahweh of hosts, will throw a covering over them, so shall they eat, and trample underfoot sling-stones, and shall drink—shall shout as with wine, —and shall be filled like tossing-bowls, —like the corners of an altar.
16 Jehova Ngai wao nĩakamahonokia mũthenya ũcio, marĩ andũ a rũũru rwake. Nĩmagakengaga bũrũri-inĩ wake, ta mahiga ma goro marĩ thũmbĩ-inĩ ya mũthamaki.
So will Yahweh their God, save them, on that day. yea, as a flock of sheep, his people, —for [they shall be like] the jewels of a diadem sparkling over his land.
17 Kaĩ nĩmagakorwo marĩ a kwendeka, na mathakarĩte-ĩ! Irio cia mĩgũnda nĩigatũma aanake magaacĩre, nayo ndibei ya mũhihano ĩtũme airĩtu o nao magaacĩre.
For how excellent it is! Yea how beautiful! Corn, shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
