1 Mwĩcookanĩrĩriei hamwe, mwĩcookanĩrĩriei hamwe inyuĩ rũrĩrĩ rũrũ rũtarĩ thoni.
Come ye togidere, be gaderid, ye folc not worthi to be loued,
2 Mwĩcookanĩrĩriei mbere ya ihinda rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo gũkinya, mũthenya ũcio ũmũkorerere ta ũrĩa mũũngũ ũmbũragwo nĩ rũhuho, mbere ya marakara mahiũ ma Jehova mamũkore, mbere ya mũthenya ũcio wa mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova kũmũkora.
bifore that comaundyng brynge forth as dust passyng dai; bifore that wraththe of strong veniaunce of the Lord come on you, bifor that the dai of his indignacioun come on you.
3 Cariai Jehova, inyuĩ andũ othe arĩa enyiihia a bũrũri, inyuĩ arĩa mwĩkaga ũrĩa aathanĩte. Mwĩcarĩriei ũthingu, mwĩcarĩriei kwĩnyiihia; no gũkorwo nĩmũkagitĩrwo mũthenya ũcio wa marakara ma Jehova.
Alle myelde men of erthe, seke ye the Lord, whiche han wrouyt the doom of hym; seke ye the iust, seke ye the mylde, if ony maner ye be hid in the dai of strong veniaunce of the Lord.
4 Itũũra rĩa Gaza nĩrĩgatiganĩrio, narĩo itũũra rĩa Ashikeloni rĩanangwo. Andũ a Ashidodi makaarutũrũrwo mũthenya barigici, narĩo itũũra rĩa Ekironi rĩthario ta mũtĩ ũkũmunywo.
For Gasa schal be distried, and Ascalon schal be in to desert; thei schulen caste out Azotus in myddai, and Accaron schal be drawun out bi the root.
5 Inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga ndwere-inĩ cia iria, o inyuĩ Akerethi, kaĩ mũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩ ĩgũũkĩrĩire, wee Kaanani, bũrũri wa Afilisti. “Nĩngakũniina, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũgaatigara.”
Wo to you that dwellen in the litil part of the see, a folc of loste men. The word of the Lord on you, Canaan, the lond of Filisteis, and Y schal distrie thee, so that a dwellere be not;
6 Bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria, o kũu Akerethi matũũraga, gũgaatuĩka kũndũ gwa gwakwo ithũnũ cia arĩithi, na ciugũ cia ngʼondu.
and the litil part of the see schal be reste of scheepherdis, and foldis of scheep.
7 Bũrũri ũcio ũgaatuĩka wa matigari ma nyũmba ya Juda; kũu nĩkuo makoona ũrĩithio. Hwaĩ-inĩ magaakomaga nyũmba cia Ashikeloni. Nake Jehova Ngai wao nĩakamamenyerera, na atũme magaacĩre rĩngĩ.
And it schal be a litil part of hym, that schal be left of the hous of Juda, there thei schulen be fed in the housis of Ascalon; at euentid thei schulen reste, for the Lord God of hem schal visite hem, and schal turne awei the caitifte of hem.
8 “Nĩnjiguĩte irumi cia Moabi na inyũrũri cia Aamoni, acio maarumire andũ akwa na makĩĩhĩta gũũkĩrĩra bũrũri wao.”
Y herde the schenschip of Moab, and blasfemyes of sones of Amon, whiche thei seiden schentfuli to my puple, and thei weren magnefied on the termes of hem.
9 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, Moabi gũgaatuĩka o ta Sodomu, naguo bũrũri wa Aamoni ũtuĩke ta Gomora, kũndũ kwa riya, na marima ma cumbĩ, kũndũ gũtakũraga kĩndũ kuuma tene. Matigari ma andũ akwa nĩmakaamataha; nao andũ a rũrĩrĩ rwakwa arĩa makaahonoka nĩmakagaya bũrũri wao.”
Therfor Y lyue, seith the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, for Moab schal be as Sodom, and the sones of Amon as Gomorre; drynesse of thornes, and hepis of salt, and desert, til in to withouten ende. The relifs of my puple schulen rauysche hem, the residues of my folc schulen welde hem.
10 Maũndũ macio nĩmakamakora nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩtĩĩo wao, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũruma na kũnyũrũria andũ a Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
Sotheli this thing schal come to hem for her pride, for thei blasfemeden, and weren magnefied on the puple of the Lord of oostis.
11 Jehova nĩagetigĩrwo nĩo rĩrĩa akaananga ngai ciothe cia bũrũri ũcio. Ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ ciothe cia iria nĩikamũhooya, o rũrĩrĩ rũrĩ bũrũri waruo kĩũmbe.
The Lord schal be orible on hem, and he schal make feble alle goddis of erthe; and men of her place schulen worschipe hym, alle the ilis of hethene men.
12 “O na inyuĩ, andũ a Kushi, nĩmũkooragwo na rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora.”
But and ye, Ethiopiens, schulen be slayn bi my swerd.
13 Nĩagatambũrũkia guoko gwake okĩrĩre andũ a gathigathini na aniine Ashuri, atige Nineve gũkirĩte ihooru, na kũũmagarĩte o ta werũ.
And he schal stretche forth his hond on the north, and schal leese Assur; and he schal putte the feir citee Nynyue in to wildirnesse, and into with out weie, and as desert.
14 Ndũũru cia mbũri na ngʼombe igaakoma kuo, hamwe na ciũmbe cia mĩthemba yothe. Ndundu cia werũ na ndundu iria ngʼambi nĩikomba itugĩ-inĩ ciakuo. Kayũ ka mĩgambo yacio gakaiguuagwo ndirica-inĩ, hĩba cia mahiga igaakorwo mĩrango-inĩ, nayo mĩgamba ya mĩtarakwa ĩtigwo ũtheri.
And flockis, and alle the beestis of folkis, schulen ligge in the myddil therof; and onacratalus, and irchun schulen dwelle in threshfoldis therof; vois of the syngynge in wyndow, and crow in the lyntil, for Y schal make thinne the strengthe therof.
15 Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo itũũra rĩrĩa rĩratũire na gĩkeno, o na rĩtarĩ na ũgwati. Rĩrĩa rĩeĩĩraga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ no niĩ, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ tiga niĩ.” Kaĩ nĩrĩkĩanangĩtwo, rĩgatuĩka o kĩmamo kĩa nyamũ cia gĩthaka-ĩ! Arĩa othe mahĩtũkagĩra harĩ rĩo no kũrĩnyũrũria na kũrĩorota.
This is the gloriouse citee dwellynge in trist, which seide in hir herte, Y am, and ther is noon other more withouten me. Hou is it maad vnto desert, a couche of beeste; ech man that schal passe bi it, schal hisse, and schal moue his hond.
