Isaiah 56
1 Thus says the Lord: Preserve judgment, and accomplish justice. For my salvation is close to its arrival, and my justice is close to being revealed.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tũũrai mũtuanagĩra ciira wa kĩhooto, na mwĩkage maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire, nĩgũkorwo ũhonokio wakwa nĩũkuhĩrĩirie, o naguo ũthingu wakwa ũrĩ hakuhĩ kũguũranĩrio.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds to this, keeping the Sabbath and not profaning it, guarding his hands and not doing any evil.
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio, o mũndũ ũrĩa ũrũmagia maũndũ macio mũno, na ũrĩa ũmenyagĩrĩra thabatũ atekũmĩthaahia, na akagirĩrĩria guoko gwake gwĩka ũũru.”
3 And let not the son of the new arrival, who adheres to the Lord, speak, saying, “The Lord will divide and separate me from his people.” And let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
Mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũrĩa wĩnyiitanĩtie na Jehova ndakanoige atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ Jehova nĩakanyamũrania, andigithanie na andũ ake.” O na kana mũndũ ũrĩa mũhakũre arekwo oige atĩrĩ, “Niĩ haana o ta mũtĩ mũũmũ.”
4 For thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: They will keep my Sabbaths, and they will choose the things that I will, and they will hold to my covenant.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ha ũhoro wa andũ arĩa ahakũre arĩa mamenyagĩrĩra thabatũ ciakwa, na magathuura gwĩka maũndũ marĩa mangenagia, na makarũmia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa-rĩ,
5 I will give them a place in my house, within my walls, and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, which will never perish.
nĩngamahe handũ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yakwa na thingo-inĩ ciayo, na ndũme maririkanagwo na magĩe igweta rĩega mũno gũkĩra andũ arĩa marĩ na ciana cia aanake na cia airĩtu; o na ningĩ nĩngamahe rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa magaatũũra meetagwo nginya tene na tene, rĩrĩa rĩtagacooka kũriganĩra.
6 And the sons of the new arrival, who adhere to the Lord so as to worship him and to love his name, shall be his servants: all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it, and who hold to my covenant.
Andũ a kũngĩ arĩa menyiitanĩtie na Jehova nĩguo mamũtungatagĩre, o acio mendete rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, na mamũhooyaga, o na arĩa othe mamenyagĩrĩra thabatũ matekũmĩthaahia, na makarũmia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa-rĩ,
7 I will lead them to my holy mountain, and I will gladden them in my house of prayer. Their holocausts and their victims will be pleasing to me upon my altar. For my house will be called the house of prayer for all peoples.
andũ acio nĩo ngaatwara kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩakwa kĩrĩa kĩamũre, na ndĩmahe gĩkeno thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa ya mahooya. Maruta mao ma njino na magongona nĩmagetĩkĩrĩka kĩgongona-inĩ gĩakwa; nĩgũkorwo nyũmba yakwa ĩgeetagwo nyũmba ya mahooya ya kũhooyagĩrwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.”
8 The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, says: Even now, I will gather his congregation to him.
Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, o we ũrĩa ũcookanagĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli arĩa matahĩtwo: “Hamwe na acio ndĩkĩtie gũcookanĩrĩria no kũrĩ angĩ ngaacookanĩrĩria meongerere harĩo.”
9 All beasts of the field, all the beasts of the forest: approach and devour!
Atĩrĩrĩ, ũkaai inyuĩ nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka, o na inyuĩ nyamũ ciothe cia mũtitũ ũkaai mũrĩe!
10 His watchmen are all blind. They are all ignorant. They are mute dogs without the ability to bark, seeing empty things, sleeping and loving dreams.
Arangĩri a Isiraeli nĩ atumumu, othe nĩmagĩte ũmenyo; othe matariĩ ta ngui itagambaga, ikaremwo nĩ gũkũga; makomaga thĩ makaroota, na mendaga o gũkoma toro.
11 And these very imprudent dogs have never known satisfaction. The shepherds themselves do not know understanding. All have turned aside in their own way, each one to his own avarice, from the highest even to the least:
Matariĩ o ta ngui ngoroku mũno; matirĩ hĩndĩ mahũũnaga. Nĩ arĩithi matarĩ na ũtaũku; othe magarũrũkĩte magathiĩ na njĩra ciao o ene, na o mũndũ acaragia maũndũ ma kwĩguna we mwene.
12 “Come, let us take wine, and be filled by inebriation. And as it is today, so shall it be tomorrow and for a long time.”
O mũndũ aanagĩrĩra akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũnganai ndĩmũrehere ndibei! Nĩtũnyue njoohi nginya tũrĩĩo! Naruo rũciũ rũkaahaana o ta ũmũthĩ, kana rwagĩre mũno makĩria.”
