Isaiah 14
1 For Jehovah will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the sojourner shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
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.
2 And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and for handmaids: and they shall take them captive whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
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.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that Jehovah shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast made to serve,
Mũthenya ũrĩa Jehova akaamũhurũkia kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ na mĩnyamaro-inĩ, na ũkombo-inĩ wa kũhinyĩrĩrio-rĩ,
4 that thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
nĩmũgookĩrĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni na kĩnyũrũri, mũmwĩre atĩrĩ: Kaĩ mũhinyanĩrĩria nĩakinyĩte mũthia-ĩ! Kaĩ marakara make mahiũ nĩmathirĩte-ĩ!
5 Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers;
Jehova nĩoinangĩte rũthanju rwa andũ arĩa aaganu, o na akoinanga thimbũ ya ũnene ya arĩa maathanaga,
6 that smote the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
ĩrĩa maahũũraga andũ nayo mategũtigithĩria, marakarĩte, magaatha ndũrĩrĩ marĩ na marakara, na magaciũgitaga matarĩ na tha.
7 The whole earth is at rest, [and] is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Mabũrũri mothe rĩu nĩmahurũkĩte na marĩ na thayũ; nĩmambĩrĩirie kũina.
8 Yea, the fir-trees rejoice at thee, [and] the cedars of Lebanon, [saying], Since thou art laid low, no hewer is come up against us.
O nayo mĩtĩ ya mĩkarakaba na mĩtarakwa ya Lebanoni ĩragũkenerera, ĩkoiga atĩrĩ: “Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa wagũithirio thĩ, gũtirĩ mũtemi mĩtĩ ũrĩ woka gũtũtema.”
9 Sheol from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
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)
10 All they shall answer and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?
Nao othe magaacookia, makwĩre atĩrĩ, “O nawe nĩwagĩte hinya o ta ithuĩ; ũhaanĩte o ta ithuĩ.”
11 Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol, [and] the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
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)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, that didst lay low the nations!
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!
13 And thou saidst in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north;
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.
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.
Nĩngahaica nginya kũndũ kũraihu igũrũ rĩa matu, ndĩĩhaananie na Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.”
No rĩrĩ, wee ũharũrũkĩtio thĩ nginya mbĩrĩra-inĩ, ũgakinya irima kũrĩa kũriku. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee shall gaze at thee, they shall consider thee, [saying], Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Arĩa marĩkuonaga, marĩgũkũũragĩra maitho, magecũũrania ũhoro waku, makoorania atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe mũndũ ũrĩa wenyenyagia thĩ na agatũma mothamaki mainaine,
17 that made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; that let not loose his prisoners to their home?
mũndũ ũrĩa watũmire thĩ ĩtuĩke ta werũ, na akangʼaũrania matũũra mayo marĩa manene? Nĩwe ũrĩa ũtetĩkagĩria andũ arĩa oohe mainũke kwao mĩciĩ?”
18 All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house.
Athamaki othe a ndũrĩrĩ makuĩte magakomio, o mũndũ mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake.
19 But thou art cast forth away from thy sepulchre like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a dead body trodden under foot.
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,
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever.
no wee-rĩ, ndũgaathikwo tao, tondũ nĩwaanangire bũrũri waku, na ũkĩũraga andũ aku. Rũciaro rwa andũ arĩa aaganu rũtikaagwetwo rĩngĩ.
21 Prepare ye slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers, that they rise not up, and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.
Haarĩriai handũ ha kũũragĩra ciana ciake, nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe mao ma tene; nĩguo itikanarahũke ciĩgaĩre bũrũri, na ciĩyakĩre matũũra maiyũre thĩ.
22 And I will rise up against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son, saith Jehovah.
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.
23 I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts.
“Nĩngatua kũndũ kũu gĩikaro kĩa ndundu, na ndĩgũtue bũrũri wa maria ma maaĩ; ngaakũhaata na kĩhato kĩa mwanangĩko,”
24 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩehĩtĩte, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ, o ũrĩa thugundĩte, ũguo noguo gũgaatuĩka, na ũrĩa nduĩte, ũguo noguo gũgaikara.
25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder.
Nĩngahehenja Mũashuri ũcio ũrĩ bũrũri-inĩ wakwa; ngaamũrangĩrĩria thĩ irĩma-inĩ ciakwa. Nĩngehereria andũ akwa icooki rĩake, na mũrigo wake ũmoime ciande-inĩ ciao.”
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
Ũũ nĩguo thugundĩte gwĩka thĩ yothe; nakuo guoko kũrĩa gũtambũrũkĩirio ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩkuo gũkũ.
27 For Jehovah of hosts hath purposed, and who shall annul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩguo atuĩte gwĩka, nũũ ũngĩhota kũmũgirĩrĩria? Guoko gwake nĩgũtambũrũkĩtio, nũũ ũngĩhota gũgũthuna?
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
Atĩrĩrĩ, mwaka ũrĩa Mũthamaki Ahazu aakuire-rĩ, nĩguo ndũmĩrĩri ĩno yaguũranĩirio:
29 Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth an adder, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
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.
30 And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
Nao andũ arĩa athĩĩni biũ nĩmakona gĩa kũrĩa, na mũbatari akomage atarĩ na ũgwati. No rũciaro rwaku nĩngarũũraga na ngʼaragu; nayo ĩkooraga matigari maku.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou art melted away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
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.
32 What then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of his people take refuge.
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.”
