Esias 13
1 THE VISION WHICH ESAIAS SON OF AMOS SAW AGAINST BABYLON.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ Babuloni, ĩrĩa Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu onire:
2 Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open [the gates], you rulers.
Atĩrĩrĩ, haandai bendera kĩrĩma igũrũ kĩrĩa gĩtarĩ mĩtĩ, anĩrĩrai na mũmahenerie, nĩguo matoonyere ihingo-inĩ cia arĩa marĩ igweta.
3 I give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting.
Nĩnjathĩte andũ akwa arĩa atheru, nĩndũmanĩire njamba ciakwa, o icio ikenagĩra ũhootani wakwa, ciũke ikinyanĩrie marakara makwa.
4 A voice of many nations on the mountains, [even] like [to that] of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a warlike nation,
Ta thikĩrĩriai, mũigue inegene rĩrĩ irĩma-inĩ igũrũ, inegene rĩhaana ta rĩa kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ! Ta thikĩrĩriai mũigue ngũĩ gatagatĩ ka mothamaki, taarĩ ndũrĩrĩ irarũrũngana hamwe! Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũracookanĩrĩria ita rĩa kũrũa mbaara.
5 to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors [are coming] to destroy all the world.
Andũ acio marooka moimĩte mabũrũri ma kũraya, makoima ituri-inĩ cia kũũrĩa igũrũ. Ti-itherũ Jehova nĩarooka na indo cia mbaara cia mangʼũrĩ make, nĩguo aanange bũrũri wothe.
6 Howl you, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.
Girĩkai, nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa Jehova nĩũkuhĩrĩirie; ũgooka ũtariĩ ta mwanangĩko uumĩte kũrĩ Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
7 Therefore every hand shall become powerless, and every soul of man shall be dismayed.
Tondũ ũcio moko mothe nĩmakaregera, na ngoro ya mũndũ o wothe ĩringĩke.
8 The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in travail: and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a flame.
Andũ makaanyiitwo nĩ kĩmako kĩnene, na magwatwo nĩ ruo na kĩeha, na manyiitwo nĩ ruo o ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo. O mũndũ akaagegio nĩ ũrĩa ũngĩ, na mothiũ mao mahaane ta nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki.
9 For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which can’t be escaped, [a day] of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate, and to destroy sinners out of it.
Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio wa Jehova nĩũrooka, na gũtikaiguanĩrwo tha; ũgaakorwo ũrĩ mũthenya wa mangʼũrĩ na marakara mahiũ, ma gũtũma thĩ ĩkire ihooru, na ũniine ehia arĩa magaakorwo kuo.
10 For the stars of heaven, and Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.
Nĩgũkorwo njata cia igũrũ na iria cionekaga irĩ gĩtutu itigacooka kwara na ũtheri wacio. Narĩo riũa rĩkĩratha rĩgaatuĩka nduma, naguo mweri ũtige gũcooka kwara.
11 And I will command evils for the whole world, and [will visit] their sins on the ungodly: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will bring low the pride of the haughty.
Nĩngaherithia thĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ũũru wayo, na herithie andũ arĩa aaganu nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao. Nĩnganiina mwĩĩkĩrĩro wa andũ arĩa etĩĩi, na nyiihie mwĩtĩĩo wa arĩa matarĩ tha.
12 And they that are left shall be more precious than gold tried in the fire; and a man shall be more precious than the stone that is in Suphir.
Ũgaakorwo ũrĩ ũndũ mũritũ mũno kuona mũndũ, gũkĩra kuona thahabu therie, kana kuona thahabu ya ofiri.
13 For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundation, because of the fierce anger of the Lord of hosts, in the day in which his wrath shall come on.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngatũma igũrũ rĩinaine; nayo thĩ nĩĩgaathingitha, yehere gĩikaro kĩayo, nĩ ũndũ wa mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, mũthenya ũrĩa marakara make makarĩrĩmbũka.
14 And they that are left shall be as a fleeing fawn, and as a stray sheep, and there shall be none to gather [them]: so that a man shall turn back to his people, and a man shall flee to his own land.
O ta thwariga ĩrĩa ĩkũguĩmwo, na o ta ũrĩa ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi ciũraga, ũguo no taguo mũndũ o mũndũ agaacookerera andũ ao kĩũmbe, na o mũndũ oore acooke bũrũri wao kĩũmbe.
15 For whoever shall be taken shall be overcome; and they that are gathered together shall fall by the sword.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũkaanyiitwo mũgwate agaathecwo atũrĩkanio; nao arĩa othe makaanyiitwo makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
16 And they shall dash their children before their eyes; and they shall spoil their houses, and shall take their wives.
Twana twao tũkaabacanio thĩ tũtuĩke icunjĩ makĩĩonagĩra na maitho; indo ciao cia nyũmba igaatahwo, na atumia ao manyiitwo na hinya.
17 Behold, I will stir up against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngarahũra andũ a Amedi mamookĩrĩre, arĩa matarĩ bata wa betha, na matakenagio nĩ thahabu.
18 They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare your children.
Nĩmakooraga aanake na mĩguĩ yao; o na matikaiguĩra twana tha, kana macaĩre ciana.
19 And Babylon, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as [when] God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha.
Itũũra rĩa Babuloni, o rĩo inagĩ rĩa mothamaki, na nĩrĩo rĩtũmaga andũ a Babuloni metĩĩe nĩ ũndũ wa riiri warĩo, nĩrĩkangʼaũranio nĩ Ngai, o ta ũrĩa Sodomu na Gomora kwangʼaũranirio.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it.
Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ rĩgaacooka gũtũũrwo o na rĩ, kana rĩikarwo nĩ andũ njiarwa na njiarwa; gũtirĩ Mũarabu ũkaamba hema yake kuo, na gũtirĩ mũrĩithi ũkaarahia mahiũ make kuo.
21 But wild beasts shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there, and satyrs shall dwell there; and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. It will come soon, and will not wait.
No rĩrĩ, gũgaakomagwo nĩ nyamũ cia werũ, nacio nyũmba ciarĩo igaikaragwo nĩ mbwe; kũu nĩkuo ndundu igaatũũraga, na nokuo mbũri cia gĩthaka-inĩ igaatũũhagĩra.
Hiti ikaagambagĩra ciĩgitĩro-inĩ ciakuo, na mbwe ciikarage nyũmba iria njega cia ũthamaki. Na rĩrĩ, ihinda rĩa ituĩro rĩu nĩikinyu, na matukũ marĩo matikongererwo.
