Isaia 14
1 No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩakaiguĩra Jakubu tha; nĩegwĩthuurĩra Isiraeli o rĩngĩ, na atũme maikare bũrũri wao ene. Ageni nĩmakegwatania nao, na manyiitane na nyũmba ya Jakubu.
And the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and they shall rest on their land: and the stranger shall be added to them, yea, shall be added to the house of Jacob.
2 Ndũrĩrĩ nĩikamooya, imacookie kũndũ kwao. Nayo nyũmba ya Isiraeli nĩĩkegwatĩra ndũrĩrĩ, ituĩke ndungata ciao cia arũme na cia airĩtu kũu bũrũri wa Jehova. Nĩmagataha andũ arĩa maamatahĩte tene, na macooke gwatha andũ arĩa maamahinyagĩrĩria.
And the Gentiles shall take them, and bring them into their place: and they shall inherit them, and they shall be multiplied upon the land for servants and handmaidens: and they that took them captives shall become captives [to them]; and they that had lordship over them shall be under [their] rule.
3 Mũthenya ũrĩa Jehova akaamũhurũkia kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ na mĩnyamaro-inĩ, na ũkombo-inĩ wa kũhinyĩrĩrio-rĩ,
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and vexation, [and from] thy hard servitude wherein thou didst serve them.
4 nĩmũgookĩrĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni na kĩnyũrũri, mũmwĩre atĩrĩ: Kaĩ mũhinyanĩrĩria nĩakinyĩte mũthia-ĩ! Kaĩ marakara make mahiũ nĩmathirĩte-ĩ!
And thou shalt take up this lamentation against the king of Babylon, How has the extortioner ceased, and the taskmaster ceased!
5 Jehova nĩoinangĩte rũthanju rwa andũ arĩa aaganu, o na akoinanga thimbũ ya ũnene ya arĩa maathanaga,
The Lord has broken the yoke of sinners, the yoke of princes.
6 ĩrĩa maahũũraga andũ nayo mategũtigithĩria, marakarĩte, magaatha ndũrĩrĩ marĩ na marakara, na magaciũgitaga matarĩ na tha.
Having smitten a nation in wrath, with an incurable plague, smiting a nation with a wrathful plague, which spared [them] not, he rested in quiet.
7 Mabũrũri mothe rĩu nĩmahurũkĩte na marĩ na thayũ; nĩmambĩrĩirie kũina.
All the earth cries aloud with joy:
8 O nayo mĩtĩ ya mĩkarakaba na mĩtarakwa ya Lebanoni ĩragũkenerera, ĩkoiga atĩrĩ: “Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa wagũithirio thĩ, gũtirĩ mũtemi mĩtĩ ũrĩ woka gũtũtema.”
the trees also of Libanus rejoice against thee, and the cedar of Libanus, [saying], From the time that thou hast been laid low, no one has come up to cut us down.
9 Mbĩrĩra kũu mũhuro wa thĩ nĩyarahũkĩte, ĩgũtũnge ũgĩkinya kuo; nĩyarahũrĩte maroho ma arĩa maanakua makũgeithie: arĩa othe maarĩ atongoria gũkũ thĩ; ĩtũmaga mookĩrĩrie itĩ ciao cia ũnene, o arĩa othe maarĩ athamaki a ndũrĩrĩ. (Sheol h7585)
Hell from beneath is provoked to meet thee: all the great ones that have ruled over the earth have risen up together against thee, they that have raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 Nao othe magaacookia, makwĩre atĩrĩ, “O nawe nĩwagĩte hinya o ta ithuĩ; ũhaanĩte o ta ithuĩ.”
All shall answer and say to thee, Thou also hast been taken, even as we; and thou art numbered amongst us.
11 Riiri wothe wa ũnene waku ũikũrũkĩtio o nginya mbĩrĩra-inĩ, hamwe na mĩgambo ya inanda ciaku cia mũgeeto; igunyũ nĩcio ũkomeire, na igunyũ nocio ikũhumbĩire. (Sheol h7585)
Thy glory has come down to Hades, and thy great mirth: under thee they shall spread corruption, and the worm shall be thy covering. (Sheol h7585)
12 Hĩ! Kaĩ wee njata ya kĩwariĩ nĩũgwĩte ũkoima igũrũ-ĩ, o wee mũrũ wa rũciinĩ kĩroko gwakĩa! Ũharũrũkĩtio ũgaikio gũkũ thĩ, o wee ũrĩa hĩndĩ ĩmwe wahinyagĩrĩria ndũrĩrĩ!
How has Lucifer, that rose in the morning, fallen from heaven! He that sent [orders] to all the nations is crushed to the earth.
13 Wee weĩraga atĩrĩ na ngoro yaku, “Ngũhaica nginye igũrũ; na gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene ndĩkĩambararie gĩkĩre njata cia Mũrungu; na njikarĩre kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa gũtũnganwo, o gacũmbĩrĩ ga kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩamũre.
But thou saidst in thine heart, I will go up to heaven, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven: I will sit on a lofty mount, on the lofty mountains toward the north:
14 Nĩngahaica nginya kũndũ kũraihu igũrũ rĩa matu, ndĩĩhaananie na Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.”
I will go up above the clouds: I will be like the Most High.
But now thou shalt go down to hell, even to the foundations of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
16 Arĩa marĩkuonaga, marĩgũkũũragĩra maitho, magecũũrania ũhoro waku, makoorania atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe mũndũ ũrĩa wenyenyagia thĩ na agatũma mothamaki mainaine,
They that see thee shall wonder at thee, and say, This is the man that troubled the earth, that made kings to shake;
17 mũndũ ũrĩa watũmire thĩ ĩtuĩke ta werũ, na akangʼaũrania matũũra mayo marĩa manene? Nĩwe ũrĩa ũtetĩkagĩria andũ arĩa oohe mainũke kwao mĩciĩ?”
that made the whole world desolate, and destroyed its cities; he loosed not those who were in captivity.
18 Athamaki othe a ndũrĩrĩ makuĩte magakomio, o mũndũ mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake.
All the kings of the nations lie in honour, [every] man in his house.
19 No wee-rĩ, nĩgũteo ũtetwo kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ yaku, o ta rũhonge rũrĩ magigi; ũkahumbĩrwo nĩ ciimba cia arĩa moragĩtwo, arĩa matheecangĩtwo na hiũ cia njora, o acio maikĩtio irima rĩrĩ mahiga. Ũikarĩte ta kĩimba kĩrangĩrĩrie thĩ na magũrũ,
But thou shalt be cast forth on the mountains, as a loathed carcase, with many dead who have been pierced with swords, going down to the grave.
20 no wee-rĩ, ndũgaathikwo tao, tondũ nĩwaanangire bũrũri waku, na ũkĩũraga andũ aku. Rũciaro rwa andũ arĩa aaganu rũtikaagwetwo rĩngĩ.
As a garment defiled with blood shall not be pure, so neither shalt thou be pure; because thou hast destroyed my land, and hast slain my people: thou shalt not endure for ever, —[thou] an evil seed.
21 Haarĩriai handũ ha kũũragĩra ciana ciake, nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao ma tene; nĩguo itikanarahũke ciĩgaĩre bũrũri, na ciĩyakĩre matũũra maiyũre thĩ.
Prepare thy children to be slain for the sins of their father; that they arise not, and inherit the earth, nor fill the earth with wars.
22 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩngarahũka ndĩciũkĩrĩre, nĩngeheria rĩĩtwa rĩacio kũu Babuloni, o na rĩa matigari ma cio, o na njeherie ciana ciao na rũciaro rwao,” nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will destroy their name, and remnant, and seed: thus saith the Lord.
23 “Nĩngatua kũndũ kũu gĩikaro kĩa ndundu, na ndĩgũtue bũrũri wa maria ma maaĩ; ngaakũhaata na kĩhato kĩa mwanangĩko,”
And I will make the region of Babylon desert, so that hedgehogs shall dwell [there], and it shall come to nothing: and I will make it a pit of clay for destruction.
24 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩehĩtĩte, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ, o ũrĩa thugundĩte, ũguo noguo gũgaatuĩka, na ũrĩa nduĩte, ũguo noguo gũgaikara.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain:
25 Nĩngahehenja Mũashuri ũcio ũrĩ bũrũri-inĩ wakwa; ngaamũrangĩrĩria thĩ irĩma-inĩ ciakwa. Nĩngehereria andũ akwa icooki rĩake, na mũrigo wake ũmoime ciande-inĩ ciao.”
[even] to destroy the Assyrians upon my land, and upon my mountains: and they shall be for trampling; and their yoke shall be taken away from them, and their glory shall be taken away from their shoulders.
26 Ũũ nĩguo thugundĩte gwĩka thĩ yothe; nakuo guoko kũrĩa gũtambũrũkĩirio ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩkuo gũkũ.
This is the purpose which the Lord has purposed upon the whole earth: and this the hand that is uplifted against all the nations.
27 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩguo atuĩte gwĩka, nũũ ũngĩhota kũmũgirĩrĩria? Guoko gwake nĩgũtambũrũkĩtio, nũũ ũngĩhota gũgũthuna?
For what the Holy God has purposed, who shall frustrate? and who shall turn back his uplifted hand?
28 Atĩrĩrĩ, mwaka ũrĩa Mũthamaki Ahazu aakuire-rĩ, nĩguo ndũmĩrĩri ĩno yaguũranĩirio:
In the year in which king Achaz died this word came.
29 Inyuĩ Afilisti inyuothe tigai gũkena, nĩ atĩ rũthanju rũrĩa rwamũhũũraga nĩrunĩkĩte; nĩgũkorwo kuuma mũri-inĩ wa nyoka ĩyo nĩgũkoima nduĩra, namo maciaro mayo magaatuĩka mũthemba wa nyoka ĩrĩ thumu ĩrĩa ĩticũkaga.
Rejoice not, all ye Philistines, because the yoke of him that smote you is broken: for out of the seed of the serpent shall come forth the young asps, and their young shall come forth flying serpents,
30 Nao andũ arĩa athĩĩni biũ nĩmakona gĩa kũrĩa, na mũbatari akomage atarĩ na ũgwati. No rũciaro rwaku nĩngarũũraga na ngʼaragu; nayo ĩkooraga matigari maku.
And the poor shall be fed by him, and poor men shall rest in peace: but he shall destroy thy seed with hunger, and shall destroy thy remnant.
31 Wee kĩhingo-rĩ, girĩka! Na wee itũũra inene-rĩ, ugĩrĩria! Na inyuĩ Afilisti inyuothe mũniinwo nĩ guoya, mũthire biũ! Itu rĩa ndogo rĩrooka riumĩte mwena wa gathigathini, na gũtigakorwo na mũndũ ũgaatigwo na thuutha mbũtũ-inĩ ciake nĩ ũndũ wa kwaga hinya.
Howl, ye gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, [even] all the Philistines: for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no [possibility] of living.
32 Nĩ icookio rĩrĩkũ rĩkaaheanwo kũrĩ andũ arĩa matũmĩtwo a rũrĩrĩ rũu? Magaacookerio atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩahaandĩte Zayuni, na thĩinĩ wakuo andũ ake arĩa anyamaarĩku nĩmakona rĩũrĩro.”
And what shall the kings of the nations answer? That the Lord has founded Sion, and by him the poor of the people shall be saved.
