Isaia 34
1 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ ndũrĩrĩ, ũkai hakuhĩ mũthikĩrĩrie; o na inyuĩ andũ a mabũrũri tegai matũ mũigue! Thĩ o nayo nĩĩigue, o na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ kuo, o hamwe na mabũrũri, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kiumaga kuo!
Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear, the world, and everything that comes from it.
2 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩarakarĩire ndũrĩrĩ ciothe; mangʼũrĩ make marĩ kũrĩ mbũtũ ciao ciothe cia ita. Nĩagaciniina ithire biũ, nĩagacineana ciũragwo.
For the LORD is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.
3 Andũ arĩa moragĩtwo magaateo o ro ũguo, na mũnungo wa ciimba ciao wambate na igũrũ; nacio irĩma ihaane ta irindĩtwo nĩ thakame yao.
Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up. The mountains will melt in their blood.
4 Njata ciothe cia igũrũ nĩigathira, narĩo igũrũ rĩkũnjwo o ta ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo; nayo mbũtũ ya njata cia matu-inĩ ĩgwe o ta ũrĩa mathangũ ma mũthabibũ maahooha magũũaga, na o ta ũrĩa ngũyũ ciahooha igũũaga kuuma mũkũyũ-inĩ.
All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
5 Rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora rũnyuĩte rũkanyootoka rũrĩ o kũu matu-inĩ; ta rora, rũraikũrũkĩra Edomu rũrĩ na ituĩro, o andũ acio niinĩte biũ.
For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Behold, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgement.
6 Rũhiũ rwa njora rwa Jehova rũiyũrĩtwo nĩ thakame, na rũkahumbĩrwo nĩ maguta: nĩ thakame ya tũtũrũme na ya mbũri, na maguta ma higo cia ndũrũme. Nĩgũkorwo Jehova arĩ na igongona kũu Bozara, na kũũragana kũnene kũu Edomu.
The LORD’s sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Nacio mbogo nĩikooraganĩrio hamwe, o na tũtegwa na ndegwa iria nene. Bũrũri wao nĩũgaacagacio nĩ thakame, naruo rũkũngũ rũrindwo nĩ maguta.
The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be drunken with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.
8 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova arĩ na mũthenya wa kwĩrĩhĩria, arĩ na mwaka wa kũherithania, nĩguo arũĩrĩre kĩhooto gĩa Zayuni.
For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 Tũrũũĩ twa Edomu tũkaagarũrwo tũtuĩke rami, naruo rũkũngũ rwakuo rũtuĩke mwaki wa ũbiriti; naguo bũrũri wake ũtuĩke o ta rami ĩgwakana mwaki!
Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulphur, and its land will become burning pitch.
10 Naguo mwaki ũcio ndũkahorio mũthenya na ũtukũ; ndogo yaguo ĩgaatũũra ĩtoogaga igũrũ nginya tene. Gũgaakira ihooru njiarwa nginya njiarwa, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaacooka gũtuĩkanĩria kuo rĩngĩ.
It won’t be quenched night or day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
11 Ndundu ya werũ-inĩ na ndundu ĩrĩa ĩgambaga nĩikegwatĩra kũndũ kũu; nayo ndundu ĩrĩa nene na ihuru nĩkuo igaaka itara ciacio. Ngai nĩagathima Edomu na gĩthimi gĩa kĩrigiicano, na agũthime na kabirũ ka ihooru.
But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Gũtigakorwo kĩndũ andũ akuo arĩa marĩ igweta mangĩĩta ũthamaki, ariũ a mũthamaki a kũu othe nĩmagathira.
They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 Mĩigua nĩĩkamerera nyũmba ciakuo cia ũthamaki iria njirigĩre, thabai na mĩtare ĩmere ciĩgitĩro-inĩ ciakuo cia hinya. Gũgaatuĩka ũtũũro wa mbwe, na ciikaro cia ndundu.
Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
14 Nyamũ cia werũ-inĩ nĩigacemania na hiti, nacio mbũri cia gĩthaka nĩikananĩria; kũu nĩkuo nyamũ cia ũtukũ igaakomaga, na ciĩyonere gwa kũhurũka.
The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. Yes, the night creature shall settle there, and shall find herself a place of rest.
15 Ndundu nĩĩgaka gĩtara kũu, ĩrekagĩrie matumbĩ mayo kuo, nĩĩkamatũrĩkia na ĩrere njui ciayo rungu rwa mathagu mayo; ningĩ kũu nokuo hũngũ ikoongana igĩrĩ igĩrĩ, o njamba na nga yayo.
The arrow snake will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
16 Atĩrĩrĩ, tuĩriai ũhoro ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩa Jehova, na mũrĩthome: Gũtirĩ nyamũ o na ĩmwe yacio ĩkaaga kuoneka kuo, na gũtirĩ njamba ĩkaaga nga yayo. Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kanua ka Jehova gaathanĩte ũguo, na Roho wake nĩwe ũgacicookanĩrĩria.
Search in the book of the LORD, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 Nĩwe ũcigayagĩra igai rĩacio; guoko gwake gũciheaga kĩrĩa acithimĩire. Nĩikegwatĩra igai rĩu rĩtuĩke rĩacio nginya tene, na itũũre kuo nginya njiarwa na njiarwa.
He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
